Chapter five hundred and nineteen found the treasure
These three foreigners may have been attracted by Quanjude's food. They took out the only pound they had and wanted to come in and have a roast duck meal. They were "communicating" with the guy at the door in English.
Unfortunately, the guy at the door couldn't understand English and was sweating profusely. He didn't know what to do. If it were a foreigner with bright clothes, the guy would have welcomed the three of them in long ago. Obviously, these three were very down and out.
Seeing this, Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly and said, "Shopkeeper Yang, the three foreigners at the door said that they only have one pound, but they have admired Quanjude's roast duck for a long time and want to come in and eat a roast duck."
How much is a pound worth? Manager Yang still knows a rough idea. One pound cannot eat Quanjude’s roast duck. Hearing this, Manager Yang smiled awkwardly, and how can he answer if he is not good.
Zhang Yunfei stepped forward a few steps and said fluently in English: "Gentlemen, do you need any help?"
When these foreigners, like Meng Dahe, were filled with joy when they heard the familiar and fluent English. One of them said happily in English: "My God, someone can finally understand English."
After saying that, the foreigner let out a long sigh and continued, "Sir, please help me. We want to come in and pay for the famous roast duck here, but we only have one pound on us."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yunfei smiled and thought to himself, these foreigners are so cute, the three of them have only one pound, and they are still thinking about eating roast duck.
So, Zhang Yunfei joked: "Gentlemen, you only have one pound, and you may not even be able to eat half of the roast duck."
Upon hearing this, the three of them were immediately discouraged. One of them touched his puffy belly, looking depressed and disappointed. But the three of them still refused to leave, looked into the store unwillingly, and secretly swallowed their saliva.
When Zhang Yunfei saw that the three of them still refused to leave, he couldn't help but look at the three of them carefully. The outfits of the three of them were so strange. Why did they dress up like this? Is it really so down and out?
Logically speaking, foreigners in China should be treated well, so they will not be poor and destitute. Thinking of this, Zhang Yunfei's curiosity also rose.
Zhang Yunfei couldn't help but ask: "What are the names of the three gentlemen? Why are they only one pound on them?"
Upon hearing this, one of them smiled bitterly, "Sir, we came from England thousands of miles away. We arrived in Peking a week ago, but there were wars everywhere here, so we had to stay in a hotel. There was no war in the past two days. We only came out for a walk, but we had no money on us."
"By the way, my name is Alan Massison Turing."
"Alan Maithson Turing! You are Turing!" Zhang Yunfei looked at the foreigner in disbelief. The surprise in his heart was hard to describe in words.
Zhang Yunfei thought to himself. This is not the famous British mathematician, logician, cryptographer, known as the father of computer science, the father of artificial intelligence, and the famous Alan Massson Turing!
Thinking of this, Zhang Yunfei was ecstatic. It seemed that he really found a treasure this time.
Lin Yuxin next to her looked at Zhang Yunfei's expression and was a little strange. She thought to herself that Yunfei has always been relatively calm, why is she so happy and surprised this time?
Alan Maithsen Turing also looked at Zhang Yunfei with a puzzled look, thinking to himself, why do anyone in China know about his name? Is he so famous?
When Zhang Yunfei saw everyone's expressions, he immediately calmed down the surprise expression on his face and smiled slightly, "Don't the three gentlemen want to eat roast duck? I'll treat you today."
"Really! That's great!"
Zhang Yunfei and the three of them walked straight in, found a private room and sat down. Lin Yuxin and Jiang Xiaoying also sat quietly on both sides of Zhang Yunfei.
Zhang Yunfei ordered two portions of roast duck, then waved the shopkeeper and the clerk to gently close the door of the private room. Zhang Yunfei said enthusiastically: "Eat it! This is the famous Quanjude Roast Duck."
When the three foreigners saw these mouth-watering delicacies, they immediately started to eat them, without paying attention to their image at all. Zhang Yunfei watched the three of them eat voraciously.
A roast duck was finished in a short while. Fortunately, Zhang Yunfei ordered two servings. When Zhang Yunfei saw that the three of them were half full, he smiled and asked in fluent English: "Dear Mr. Turing, how did you come to China?"
Upon hearing this, Alan Massen Turing put down the roast duck in his hand, shook his head with a wry smile, and then began to slowly talk to Zhang Yunfei about his experience.
The name in front of him was Alan Massen Turing, who was the famous father of computers that Zhang Yunfei thought of. He was not a duplicate name. Turing used to be engaged in military work in the Communications Department of the British Foreign Ministry, mainly deciphering enemy passwords.
However, the work started just one year ago, because of homosexuality with a colleague, he was soon charged with "obvious indecency and sexual inversion" (because British law at that time considered homosexuality an illegal act).
Because he did not make a defense, he was convicted. Soon, the British official immediately terminated Turing's work. Turing, who felt extremely desperate, escaped with two assistants, escaped from England and came to France.
But at this time France had been occupied by Nazi Germany, and there were German troops everywhere. France was not a place for a long time. Just so happened that a large ship full of Jews was about to go to China. Turing and his two assistants also boarded the ship.
Half a month ago, Turing came to China, but due to language barriers and losing contact with the Jews on the same boat, he had to wander around. He came to the streets of Peking a week ago. Unexpectedly, he met Zhang Yunfei today.
After listening to Turing's story, Zhang Yunfei was 90% sure that this person was a famous computer expert in later generations, Turing, known as the father of computers.
It seems that I have really had a character outbreak. Today, I really found a treasure.
Looking at Turing, Zhang Yunfei remembered the introduction about Turing recorded in later generations. Although Turing was talented, he died young and died in a very disgraceful way.
Alan Massison Turing (1912~1954), a famous British mathematician, logician, cryptographer, is known as the father of computer science and the father of artificial intelligence.
Born on June 23, 1912 in Paddington, England, he entered King's College, Cambridge University in 1931, studied under the famous mathematician Hardy, and obtained his doctorate from Princeton University in the United States in 1938.
After the outbreak of World War II, he returned to Cambridge and assisted the military in cracking Germany's famous cryptographic system, enigma, and helped the Allies win World War II. He died in Manchester on June 7, 1954.
He was the founder of computer logic and proposed important concepts such as "Turing Machine" and "Turing Testing". People specially established the "Turing Award" to commemorate their outstanding contributions in the field of computers.
Looking at Turing opposite, Zhang Yunfei liked it more and more, and he felt a little embarrassed when he saw Turing.
Zhang Yunfei began to use his ability to fool the abilities, swearing the base of the 36th Army to the fullest, promised to give Turing a good treatment, and provided many generous conditions for Turing's research.
Turing, who was already desperate, immediately agreed and hit it off with Zhang Yunfei. After eating the roast duck, he immediately left Quanjude with Zhang Yunfei and headed straight for Peking Airport.
On the way to the airport, Zhang Yunfei couldn't help but sigh at his good luck. He fooled such a famous computer expert with a meal of roast duck and also gave him two assistants. The transaction was simply profitable.
When he arrived at the Beijing Airport and looked at the large number of planes on the airport, Turing and his two assistants were also sighing and surprised. Unexpectedly, China could see so many advanced planes.
When boarding the plane, Zhang Yunfei also took the opportunity to introduce his identity to Turing. As soon as he learned about Zhang Yunfei's identity, Turing became more relieved and became more confident in his future and his scientific research work.
Back to Datong, settled Turing and sent Lin Yuxin and Jiang Xiaoying home. Zhang Yunfei went to the command center again. He was outside all day today, and Zhang Yunfei was still very concerned about the current combat situation.
Datong, the 36th Army Command.
Before he could change his military uniform, Zhang Yunfei, accompanied by two guards, came to the command hall. In the hall, many combat staff were still busy.
Although it was a day off today, there were still many combat staff at the command center paying attention to the situation in the entire North China and even the entire China. Comrade Zuo Qingquan, the General Staff, stayed in the command center for the whole afternoon, personally paying attention to the situation in the war.
Seeing Zhang Yunfei walking in in casual clothes, Comrade Zuo Qingquan immediately smiled and said, "Comrade-in-Chief, I almost couldn't recognize you as soon as you wear casual clothes."
Zhang Yunfei smiled softly and said, "Old Zuo, have there been any changes in the battle situation today?"
"Commander-in-Chief, I'm about to report to you." Chief of Staff Zuo immediately said seriously: "The troops of our 36th Army are basically resting today, and there is nothing to say. However, the troops around Zhengzhou, Kaifeng and Luoyang launched a tentative attack on the Japanese devils in these three cities at 8 o'clock this morning."
"The two sides fought back and forth several battles, but neither side gained any advantage and was evenly matched. I guess that starting tomorrow, the battle between the two sides will escalate..."
Comrade Zuo Qingquan, Chief of Staff, made a detailed report and reported the movements and combat situations of ** to Zhang Yunfei.
After listening to the report of Chief Zuo, Zhang Yunfei couldn't help but ask: "Old Zuo, ** is going to have a big fight with the Japanese. Should we do something too?"
