Nine hundred and fifty-first von Braun
Magnus soon reached a consensus with German scientists. After all, at this time, German scientists were more concerned about the issue of "saving lives" rather than the issue of "development".
What's more, there is a saying that "it's better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail." From a development perspective, these scientists may be more valued in China because of their technology being relatively backward.
Zhang Chi soon met Von Braun.
What surprised Zhang Chi was that Von Braun was only in his early thirties.
"I'm glad to see you, General!" Von Braun shook hands with Zhang Chi, but it seemed unwilling.
"Do you have any concerns?" Zhang Chi asked bluntly.
"General!" said von Braun, "I'm just worried... do you really need us?"
"I don't understand what you mean. Of course we need you, otherwise I wouldn't agree to Magnus' proposal!" Zhang Chi looked at Magnus standing beside Von Braun.
Magnus nervously shook Von Braun, meaning that he finally made a match for this matter and told Von Braun not to have any trouble.
But von Braun ignored Magnus.
"General!" said von Braun: "As Magnus said before, we chose to surrender to the United States for survival on the one hand, and for continuing research on the other hand. Maybe China can solve our survival problems, but the latter... As far as I know, China's industry is very weak, and our research is based on a certain industrial foundation. So..."
"So you don't think you can continue to study, and China can't 'use' you, right?"
"Yes!" Von Braun nodded.
It should be said that Von Braun’s concern makes sense. If China is still in the era of hoes and sickles, then the first thing to solve should be the problems of rifles and bullets, rather than the rockets that are at the top of this era.
but……
"You don't need to worry about this!" Zhang Chi replied: "We already have a considerable scientific research foundation, and I can even say... we already have a team to develop rockets!"
"You already have a team to develop rockets?" Von Braun was surprised when he heard this.
"Yes!" Zhang Chi nodded and said, "You know, we have been working with the Algiers government, and the Algiers government has a portion of French scientists who have escaped from France... On the other hand, we also have sufficient funds, so I believe that your research will continue and will be as good as a fish in water!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Braun was stunned, then nodded, held Zhang Chi's hand and said, "Then, everything is for General Lu!"
"You don't have to be polite!" Zhang Chi replied: "Magnus is right. We need talents like you. Speaking of which, I should thank you!"
Zhang Chi seized the opportunity and praised Magnus, which made Magnus very useful. Zhang Chi hoped that he could play a role in stabilizing von Braun.
In fact, Zhang Chi's actions were redundant, because even though Von Braun had doubts about the issue of "development", he still understood that the primary issue was survival.
The United States may have better room for development, but the risk of "survival" is much greater.
This is quite partly due to Zhang Chi's reputation... Von Braun believes that people like Zhang Chi who win repeatedly on the battlefield and even defeat Rommel repeatedly will definitely have a way to give them room for survival. At the same time, he also believes that a famous general like Zhang Chi will not lie to him.
In fact, Von Braun believes that there is no need for Zhang Chi to lie, because Von Braun and others’ life and death are in Zhang Chi’s hands. What can I do if I force them to take Von Braun and others away?
Therefore, Von Braun had to choose to believe in Zhang Chi, and he only hoped that the future of their team would not be too tragic.
However, what surprised and happy von Braun and others was that when they arrived in Okinawa and were welcomed by French scientists and saw the platform that French scientists had, they immediately dispelled all their concerns, and Magnus did not really get thanks from German scientists until then... Before this, a considerable number of German scientists did not actually want to surrender to China.
The next thing was Zhang Chi's work, which was to get this scientific research team of more than 500 people out and transport it to Okinawa.
Zhang Chi has long been confident about this.
Of course, you can't simply load them into a car and transport them back to Normandy and then transport them. In this case, the Americans will definitely ask. Once the Americans discover it, these scientists are likely to fall into the hands of the United States again... You should know that the United States does not need these people but just a lie made up by Zhang Chi. In fact, in the list of thousands of German scientists listed by the United States, von Braun is among the must-find.
Therefore, Zhang Chi turned these scientists into "prisoners of war".
This is simple, you just need to dress up these scientists... mainly to change into a suitable military uniform, and then put some makeup on some elderly scientists to make them look younger.
In fact, it is not surprising that some older soldiers appeared in the German army. At this time, the German army had already shortened its troops, and it was normal for children or elderly people to appear in the army.
Then Zhang Chi sent a team of special personnel to "escort" the group of "captives"...
Of course, a special person is required to "escort" because Zhang Chi has heard that because he expressed revenge for the German massacre of Allied prisoners, the Allied forces have also begun to massacre German prisoners. So if it were not for the "escort" by the special person, these "captives" would probably be shot by the Allied forces in a daze.
After these "captives" were taken back to Normandy and then sent back to Britain, Zhang Chi would naturally send people to Okinawa by using the method of transplanting flowers and wood to transport them to Okinawa... This was just a trick when registering the prisoner camp. Almost everyone in the Allied forces focused their attention on Normandy and France, and they would not care whether there were more or fewer individuals in the prisoner camp.
When everything was arranged, Zhang Chi waved his hand and said goodbye to the "captives".
Looking at the cars gradually fading away, Zhang Chi couldn't help but think in his mind: If these talents did not surrender to the United States but to China, just like now... how would the future history develop?
You should know that these are scientists in rockets, missiles and aerospace. Does that mean that the United States can compete with the Soviet Union in these fields is not the United States but China?
Zhang Chi felt that the expeditionary force had finally paid some rewards for so much sacrifice to participate in this war.
