Chapter 154 German Machine Tool!

Respect!

Logically speaking, this word will not appear in foreigners, but there are always a group of people in history who transcend the boundaries of countries and nations and deserve the respect of human beings.

Schindler, Bethune...

In front of him, the manager of Siemens Nanjing Office, John Rabe, also belongs to this type of person.

John Rabe, a name recorded in Chinese history, an unknown name. When the Anti-Japanese War broke out in 1937, John Rabe, a German businessman, took advantage of his identity to unite with Nanjing when the city of Nanjing was about to fall. The Jinling University Board of Trustees established an 'international security zone' to save the people in the city.

With the special status of the German organization, the Japanese army could not cross the safe zone and massacre compatriots in the safe zone.

In this way, John Rabe protected more and more refugees in Nanjing from being massacred by himself, and the number reached 25 at the peak.

If Schindler is the angel of the more than 1000 Jews, then Mr. Rabe is a ray of light that will never be forgotten in the hearts of 25 compatriots in the endless darkness!

If it weren't for Mr. Rabe's deeds, maybe the massacre figure would not be 30, but...

55 million!

In front of the street, Rabe's temples are white, his cheeks are thin, his eyes are gentle and energetic, and he wears a pair of round black-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose. Although he has a foreign face, he shows a kind of intimacy like a compatriot.

This is Mr Rabe in 1937.

"Mr. Rabe, hello." Looking at this Mr. Rabe who will save 25 Chinese compatriots in the near future, Yu Hua saluted Mr. with a very subtle trace of gratitude.

The two characters are the same as Mr., and the meanings of honorific and honorific are completely different. This is a small detail in speech.

"Hello, classmate Yu Hua, have we met?" Feeling the unusual look in Yu Hua's eyes, Rabe, who is China Connect, responded with curiosity.

"We haven't met, but I have seen reports about you in the newspaper. After all, Siemens is a world-class electrification company." Hearing Rabe's inquiry, Yu Hua did not expect the other party to be so keen, with a smile on his face , found an excuse to explain.

In this era, Siemens, whose market spanned the Eurasian continent and the Americas, was a global super-electrification company, involving electric lights, telegraphs, power grids, generators and electrified trains, etc., including radios and televisions. Advanced, high status and fame.

The first power plant equipment in China came from Siemens.

In the current period of the Republic of China, Siemens, like the Mauser pistol, belongs to the German benchmark.

"It turns out that, with all due respect, your German is very good. You are the Chinese with the best German I have ever met. No wonder Davis praises you so much." Rabe smiled and praised when he heard it.

Yu Hua nodded lightly and smiled: "Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Rabe, part of my German comes from Mr. Davis, who helped me."

"It took Yu Hua half a month to reach the current level of German." Davis smiled.

"Half a month? Really?" Rabe heard that with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and couldn't help but glance at Yu Hua.

half a month.

This time also sounds incredible.

Rabe couldn't imagine it at all.

Davis looked serious: "Of course, I promise in my own name. I said that he is a genius. In my opinion, Yu Hua's talent is no less than that of Einstein."

"Sir, I haven't reached the height of Mr. Einstein..." Hearing Davis's words, Yu Hua covered his face, feeling a little helpless in his heart, and couldn't help reminding.

To be honest, if he hadn't known about the person and character of Mr. Physics Davis, these remarks would have been blatantly flattering.

For ordinary people who don't know one big character, the name Einstein is extremely unfamiliar and has no impression at all, but for relevant personnel in the academic circle, if anyone does not know Einstein, then this person is a joke.

Albert Einstein, Jewish, the supreme existence of contemporary physics, can be called the emperor of physics in the twentieth century, created the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics, proposed E=mc and Gab=8πTab, and the mass-energy equation will provide the theoretical basis for nuclear weapons , the general relativity equations describe the energy composition of the universe and the geometry of space-time, revealing the essence of space-time.

In terms of his contribution to physics, Einstein almost crushed all his contemporary counterparts, hanging like a star in the physics world. In front of him, Schrödinger, Planck, Bohr, Heisenberg, Dirac, Pauli, etc. Everyone was eclipsed.

This is the best of times for physics and the worst of times.

Like Einstein?

Yu Hua has this confidence, but he doesn't have the strength for the time being. He doesn't accept the high hat from Davis, especially in front of Rabe.

He didn't like to pretend in front of Rabe.

"Of course I understand this, but I'm referring to talent, not strength."

Davis responded seriously, correcting as a gentleman: "Yu Hua, Japan is about to invade your country, you have the hope of your country on your shoulders, you must study hard, if you have any difficulties, you can come to me, the teacher can recommend you To Heidelberg University and other universities."

Talent does not represent strength, but talent determines the upper limit.

Some people spend their entire lives, unable to make achievements in the academic field, and eventually they can only leave sadly and become ordinary teachers. This is the meaning of talent.

Well, this person is him Davis, who was born in Heidelberg University, and he went high and low without achieving any results.

Hearing what his friend Davis said, Rabe was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, turned his head and glanced, and saw that Davis' face was full of seriousness, he was serious.

Rabe knew the weight of that promise.

The university recommendation resources that Davis has, even if he is a Siemens executive, is very exciting, but Davis will not recommend students at will. For students who want to take the recommended path to enter Heidelberg University, there is a very high and almost demanding requirements.

This Chinese student can actually win the favor and recognition of Davis...

Could it be that he really has the talent of a technician at the Berne Patent Office?
how can that be.

In Germany, no one is aware of the influence and status of the technician at the Berne Patent Office.

"Students thank their teachers for teaching, and keep them in mind." Yu Hua was moved when he heard this. He straightened his back and bowed his hands, expressing his expectation from Davis.

Although it is almost impossible for him to go to Heidelberg University, this does not affect his respect for Davis.

Davis smiled: "Go ahead, the teacher is looking forward to your test results."

"Goodbye Mr. Rabe, goodbye Mr. Rabe." Yu Hua took a deep breath and said goodbye to Davis and Rabe one by one.

"Student Yu Hua, please wait a moment."

Just as Yu Hua was about to leave, Rabe suddenly stopped Yu Hua, and after Yu Hua stopped, a gentle and natural smile appeared on his face, took out a business card from his pocket, and handed it over: "This is my business card. If you have anything, you can call or come to me. During this time, I live at No. 11 Dongtang Hutong, Jianguomen, Dongcheng."

The business card is new and simple, white, with a string of German information printed on it—John Rabe, the manager of Siemens Nanjing Office, and the contact number and address below.

"Thank you." Yu Hua was slightly surprised when he saw this, reached out to take the business card and thanked Rabe.

Unlike business cards that can be printed by individuals in later generations, in this era, business cards are only available to a very small number of social elites. The most important thing is that you don’t give them what you want.

Rabe gave this business card, the meaning is that he is optimistic about Yu Hua.

This is an investment, an investment in connections.

Seeing this scene, Mr. Davis smiled and did not interfere.

"No thanks, everything comes from your self-confidence and talent." Hearing Yu Hua's words, Rabe smiled.

There is no "dare to dare" that is often heard, and there is no grovelling, a straight back and a confident face. This Chinese student and those Chinese people who are obedient in the past belong to two types of people.

Second, there is talent.

"Hua, I won't let you down." Yu Hua nodded earnestly and put away his business card.

When the words fell, he turned and left, facing Jingshan Front Street.

Rabe watched Yu Hua's leaving back, looked at Davis beside him, and joked: "Davis, I hope you don't disappoint me, what height will this little guy eventually reach?"

"You will be grateful for this chance encounter. It took him half a month to learn German, and it took him half a month to learn calculus. It took four years for the Bernese technician to learn calculus." Davies smiled. , with anticipation in his eyes, but did not officially answer Rabe's question.

Davis could not see the future of this little guy, but he saw the shadow of Einstein.

As for why he was so sure, it was because his teacher was Max Planck.

"What did you say?" Rabe was stunned for a moment.

……

Fate is always full of surprises, or sadness.

Fortunately, this post, Yu Hua encountered a surprise gift from fate.

It has to be said that aside from the deeds of saving 25 compatriots, Rabe's own status as a Siemens manager plays an extremely important role.

Through Siemens, it was possible to access German industry, which had not yet officially entered the war.

Yu Hua doesn't ask for much, just a few high-precision German machine tools. With machine tools, the foundation of modern industry will be there. In the field of machine tools, there is no doubt that German brands are the best.

However, if you seek a German-made machine tool, you need to take a long-term plan, and you can't be in a hurry.

The importance of machine tools, even if you think about it with your toes, can be understood. The Japanese will not let you get such strategic industrial equipment at will, and the National Government will not.

Second, what bargaining chip should I use to acquire a machine tool?
It is impossible to buy. First, there is not enough money. Second, no one else will sell it.

"If you want to get a German-made machine tool..." Yu Hua thought silently, and he already had some ideas in his heart.
