Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 390 129 The Great Hero of East Asians

Even if Japan, a poor imperialist, can only send a small number of elites to study abroad, and select the best candidates to serve as its diplomats in various countries, their English accents are really not flattering.

Chen Muwu didn't even need to look back to see the height of the person standing behind him speaking. He only needed to listen to his natto-flavored accent to know that the person speaking must be the minister to Sweden. If the minister's position was temporarily If not, he would at least be the one with the highest status in the entire embassy in Sweden.

When he turned around and looked back, he found that his guess was correct. The speaker had an East Asian face, but was more than a head shorter than Chen Muwu.

He has the trademark hair and beard of this period, and the way he nods and bows when meeting people. In addition to himself, there are also people on the peninsula and other countries who have been enslaved by the colonial powers on the entire planet. There is absolutely no way people from the He ethnic group would do such a thing.

After angrily rebuking Harrison, the U.S. Minister to Sweden, the man who suddenly "came forward" for Chen Muwu immediately changed his expression.

He had a smile on his face and even squeezed his eyes into slits.

He had just stood up as soon as the American Minister Harrison proposed to invite Chen Muwu to visit the United States, and rejected Harrison's invitation on behalf of Chen Muwu, who had not yet expressed his stance. This was actually a gamble.

The British Minister Sir Duff didn't like this American who jumped up and down at the dinner party, and he didn't like him either.

Moreover, I have a love-hate relationship with Omi ghosts and beasts in my heart, especially for Americans.

You said that your country has enacted the "Chinese Exclusion Act", but why are the nationals of the empire who have no relationship with the supporters at all being excluded?

This person knows that Chen Muwu has stated his attitude towards the United States in public more than once. He also knows that the Chinese Exclusion Act is what Chen Muwu hates most about the United States.

He was also afraid that Chen Muwu would agree to the American invitation this time, so he was very anxious and started to sow discord between the two parties before Chen Muwu expressed his stance.

Looking at the expression on Chen Muwu's face when he looked at him, I felt that I must have made the right bet.

In order to show his closeness to Chen Muwu, the middle-aged man even switched the language he spoke from natto-flavored English to natto-flavored Chinese:

"Dr. Chen Muwu, I have admired him for a long time.

"I am the Minister of the Empire of Italy in Sweden, Matsuzō Nagai. I am very happy to see you at the Nobel Prize award banquet today."

Okay, okay, you can't pronounce the "r" sound, so you can only pronounce it as "l", which is really awkward.

"Mr. Nagai, nice to meet you."

Chen Muwu didn't even bother to call him "Your Excellency the Minister".

Hearing Chen Muwu's response to him, Nagai Matsuzo looked at the American Minister Harrison very proudly. It meant that the man just said that he once served in Beijing, but he could not even speak a few words of Chinese.

Now I specifically ask Dr. Chen to speak Chinese. On the one hand, it can quickly bring the relationship between the two people closer. On the other hand, it also teaches the Americans who have no grace a valuable lesson and tells them what grace is.

Chen Muwu was thinking about something else.

Harrison, the American minister just now, said that he had been to Beijing, but he did not specify that he was going to attend the signing meeting of the "Xinchou Treaty".

The little book in front of me spoke a Chinese language that I was already quite fluent in.

Although China is now a piece of meat on the chopping board, in the eyes of these great powers, China is still a very important country, so they continue to send young diplomats to China in order to enable them to After gaining experience and understanding as much as possible about the real situation in China, it will be easier to plunder and plunder benefits afterwards.

The diplomat even learned Chinese, probably not to facilitate communication with the Chinese government and officials, but to collect intelligence and prepare for future aggressive ambitions.

Chen Muwu made some speculations about the motives of Minister Nagai Matsuzo to find him.

Like the United States, among this year’s Nobel Prize winners, there are also no candidates from this country.

The two of them came to attend this Nobel Prize dinner. It should be more than simply participating in a diplomatic event. Maybe they also have certain tasks.

Chen Muwu felt that the purpose of this minister should be similar to that of the American Minister Harrison, which was to enable him to visit their country and hold several lectures.

I have invited him to visit and give lectures more than once.

In 1924, just after Chen Muwu won the Nobel Prize in Physics, he was mentioned by this reporter in an interview at the time.

Later, Yoshio Nishina, as well as the Japanese diplomats stationed in the Soviet Union whom he met when he was passing through Soviet Union during his return to China, repeatedly invited him to visit Japan.

Fortunately, the Crown Prince of Sweden was visiting China in the Far East at that time, and he also changed his mind and went to Japan at the last minute. As I had no time to prepare, I got into a panic and had no time to take into account Chen Muwu's invitation to visit. This allowed him to "escape". .

Chen Muwu's thinking is still very clear, and the next words of my minister Nagai Matsuzō quickly confirmed Chen Muwu's guess.

"Dr. Chen, three years ago, you won the Nobel Prize in Physics. This is the first Nobel Prize in Physics that we Asian len (people) have won. It is also between Liben and China, two powerful countries in East Asia. Received first Nobel Prize.

“After the news of your award was announced, I happened to be in Liben at that time.

"The news that you won the award makes the len (people) in Liben very excited from top to bottom, because this is a good proof that our East Asian len (people) with black hair and yellow skin are no better than yellow people. Omi ghosts with blue hair and blue eyes... Omi ghosts are white and len (people) poor.”

Nagai Matsuzo almost said the word "Omi ghost" in his heart as he spoke.

"In terms of intelligence, you won the Nobel Prize in Physics; and in terms of physical function, you won several swimming gold medals in the Olympics.

“In Liben, many young people have begun to follow your example and decided to study hard or participate in physical exercise, striving to add glory to our East Asia like you in the future.

"And today, Dr. Zhao Zhongyao, who is also from East Asia, won the Nobel Prize in Physics for the second time. This is even more proof that our East Asian len (people) are no worse than the European len (people)."

“The whole country has been looking forward to meeting our East Asian hero for a few years.

"On behalf of our empire, I would like to invite you and Dr. Zhao Zhongyao to pay a visit to our country and hold several lectures if you have time in the future."

The Minister spoke quite sincerely. He did not arrogantly give Chen Muwu and others a specific date for their visit, but said that he would do so when he had the opportunity and time.

Since he didn't say anything wrong, Chen Muwu felt that there was no need to quarrel, he just had to deal with it vaguely. After all, I am no better than an American. He boycotted the Chinese Exclusion Act in the United States, saying that if this law was not repealed, he would never set foot on American soil.

Although this statement will make Americans who have been brainwashed by the news media very unhappy and may attract curses from them, it will have almost no impact on Chen Muwu himself.

However, I am much smaller than Americans.

If Chen Muwu goes out of his way to scold Minister Nagai Matsuzō and the entire country behind him in front of the ministers of other countries in Sweden, maybe this news will be published in the newspapers. , or a hidden line from the foreign affairs department, quickly transmitted back to the country.

In addition to cursing themselves like Americans, those in this country may even become more radical and put themselves on the assassination list if they cannot be used by them.

Chen Muwu still has a lot of things to do, because it is not worth offending a bunch of mad dogs for such a trivial matter.

So after hearing Nagai Matsuzo's invitation, he had been restraining his emotions.

Don’t you mean when you have the opportunity and time?

Well, guys, you never had a chance or time, so what can you do?

Anyway, he has moved his family to Europe. The next time he returns to China, if nothing else goes wrong, it should be after the bespectacled Prince MacArthur delivers his "Yuyin Broadcast" to the citizens of the country, and after the man who loves braised pork... After the great man announced in front of hundreds of thousands of Beijing citizens that "the Chinese people have stood up from now on."

Before that, Chen Muwu would always stay in Europe.

At least until the outbreak of World War II, it was impossible for me to have any thoughts about him.

"Mr. Nagai, if I have time in the future, I will definitely visit our neighbor Ben."

After receiving Chen Muwu's affirmative answer, Nagai Matsuzo was particularly happy.

He even took the initiative to ignore Chen Muwu's impolite behavior of calling him by his name instead of "Your Excellency, Minister", and forcibly excused Chen Muwu, thinking that he made the mistake because he was not familiar with diplomatic etiquette. Can be forgiven.

Then, while Chen Muwu was still thinking about how to deal with Nagai Matsuzo, the minister spoke again:

"Dr. Chen, on behalf of the Great Empire, I would like to invite you and Dr. Zhao Zhongyao to pay a visit to our country and hold several lectures if you have time in the future."

This invitation has obviously been said once before, but now, Nagai Matsuzo changed the Chinese used in the words just now into English and asked again.

Chen Muwu knew that this man just wanted to gain face in front of the ministers from other countries stationed in Sweden, and at the same time give the American Minister Harrison a hard slap in the face.

Although I feel that my behavior is a bit childish, like a child playing house.

But he had no reason not to cooperate. In addition, he also hated this American who regarded going to Beijing to sign the "Xin Chou Treaty" as a way to get close to him.

So Chen Muwu quickly switched to English and once again agreed to Nagai Matsuzo's invitation in front of Minister Harrison.

It is not shameful to feel deflated yourself, but others do not feel deflated in front of you. It is very embarrassing to compare the two.

The expression on Harrison's face turned blue, red and purple visibly, which was very exciting.

He had just been laughed at by the British, and now he was hit by himself.

Seeing Nagai Matsuzo and Chen Muwu talking and laughing happily, Harrison had no choice but to leave.

Not only was the American Minister Matsuzō Nagai, who disliked the American Minister, but also the British Minister Sir Duff who was very happy.

He had just been chatting with Lei Bingyang, the charge d'affaires of China in Sweden. Seeing Harrison stumble, Sir Duff felt that it was finally time for him to appear on the stage. He couldn't let the East Asian Nagai Matsuzō do it. Just pretend.

"Your Excellency, I am going to say hello to Dr. Chen and say a few words. Please forgive me for leaving temporarily."

Before standing up with a glass of wine, he did not forget to observe the British gentleman's etiquette and said hello to the Chinese charge d'affaires who did not remember his name from beginning to end.

Lei Bingyang Weiwei, he also decided to take this opportunity to congratulate Zhao Zhongyao, who had just won the Nobel Prize in Physics. After all, he is from his own country and he did something that made him famous internationally this year.

"Dr. Chen, good evening."

Because he has been in the UK for several years, Chen Muwu, who had just finished listening to American English and British English, heard the standard British London pronunciation, and actually felt a sense of intimacy that he had finally heard the local accent again.

Seeing that the other party was dressed very formally, with medals issued by the British and Swedish governments hanging on his chest - if nothing else happened, the Swedish one should be the Swedish Royal Polar Star Medal that will be awarded to Chen Muwu next year -, And since the beginning, he has been sitting with a Chinese diplomat. Chen Muwu felt that this person should be a representative of the British government.

Although he didn't know his name, he still greeted him politely: "Good evening, Mr. Minister."

"Professor Wilson and Dr. Cockcroft and I have met before at the British Legation. I learned from them that Dr. Chen is also in Sweden, and I have always wanted to meet you.

"Fortunately, you came to the Nobel Prize dinner today, so the two of us were able to meet.

"I don't know, Dr. Chen, are you here in Sweden specifically to attend the award ceremony, or do you have other business obligations?"

In addition to being the highest representative of one country in another country, the minister also performs certain intelligence spying work.

The person who has done the best in this regard is undoubtedly himself. They have built many embassies and consulates on Chinese soil. In name, they are to protect the safety of their own nationals in China, but in fact intelligence work accounts for the majority.

Otherwise, there would be no situation where my own map would be more precise than the domestic military map.

Sir Duff had long read in a local newspaper in Stockholm that the Crown Prince of Sweden was going to build a Swedish middle school with Chen Muwu to cultivate talents for cultural exchanges between the two countries.

Moreover, the newspaper also specifically stated that the Swedish Crown Prince personally hired Dr. Chen Muwu from the University of Cambridge to serve as a physics teacher at the school.

Sir Duff seemingly casually asked Chen Muwu about what he was doing in Sweden. In fact, he just wanted to know whether what was written in the newspaper was true or false.
