Chapter 218: Jiaotong University's internal relocation, intelligence speculation

At the beginning of the Battle of Shanghai in August 13 in 1937, some universities in Shanghai moved into the concession and took on the important task of cultivating talents for the occupied areas.

Since then, Shanghai University has recruited a large number of freshmen for mainland universities in Shanghai, and Shanghai Medical College alone has admitted more than 100 people.

With the Japanese army fully occupied Shanghai, Shanghai universities moved westward one after another: Tongji University moved to Lizhuang; Fudan University and Jiaotong University moved to Chongqing; Daxia University moved to Guiyang; Shanghai Medical College moved to Kunming, Chongqing... But these schools still continued to sing and cultivated a large number of founders from all walks of life.

After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Jiaotong University faced a serious situation of life and death. The school had to take a stopgap measure and temporarily run schools in the French Concession.

As the living environment in the concession deteriorates, Jiaotong University has repeatedly proposed the idea of ​​partial relocation to the education authorities.

However, the Ministry of Education, in view of the fact that "Jiaotong University has achieved success and the government expects to reach the forefront of the environment, is encouraged to proceed, and hopes to start school immediately and serve the country." It ordered schools to try to start school at their original campus or other places in Shanghai, resulting in repeated setbacks in the internal relocation plan.

Within the French Concession, the temporary school buildings of Jiaotong University were scattered in several places in the Concession, and the conditions were very difficult. At first, there was no laboratory.

Under such harsh conditions, the school teachers and students try every means to set up some simple laboratories, rent factory equipment, or conduct experiments directly on the open-air road.

By around 1940, Jiaotong University had gradually restored most basic experimental courses such as physics and chemistry, and some even reached the pre-war level.

With the changes in the situation of the War of Resistance Against Japan, factories and enterprises in the southeast coastal areas moved inward, and the construction of transportation engineering projects in the mainland was heavy, and a large number of transportation engineering and management talents were urgently needed.

Therefore, the first choice for Jiaotong University graduates studying in the Shanghai Concession is to go to the mainland to participate in construction.

In addition, many graduates have passed the public examination for Tsinghua University in the United States, public internships in the UK, and self-paid exams.

According to statistics, by the autumn of 1944, nearly 400 people from Jiaotong University went to North America, and Western European countries gave lectures, inspections, and internships. The number of people was the only one in various schools at that time.

France was defeated, and the situation in the French Concession continued to deteriorate. In order to support the changes in the times and meet the urgent need for transportation engineering talents in the war of resistance and construction in the rear, Chongqing Jiaotong University alumni rushed to prepare for the establishment of the Chongqing University.

"The Jiaotong University Branch (i.e., Jiaotong University Chongqing School) is expected to be completed by the end of the year, and the Shanghai Jiaotong University's internal acclimation may be carried out at the beginning of next year." Chu Jiao looked at Shen Chen's careless look and couldn't help knocking on the table.

Shen Chen raised his eyelids and said, "Isn't it just asking for money? Get more busy, how much?"

Chu Jiao rolled her eyes and said angrily: "The more you are, the better!"

Shen Chen knew that Chu Jiao was also a rich woman, but she didn't have much cash. Moreover, he also reminded him not to act too generously to avoid being suspicious.

"I will pay one fundraising, and you will pay one, and it will be almost done." Chu Jiao obviously considered a specific method and said, "There is another temporary school building, which is too poor and not safe. She is ready to move into the public concession temporarily."

Shen Chen nodded and said, "Okay, give me a specific number and I'll find a way."

Chu Jiao smiled and said, "After all, you are the master. If you don't have a big shot, it's really unreasonable."

Chen Chen knew about teaching Chen Baihe, but he didn't take it seriously. He heard Chu Jiao talk about it, and couldn't help but smile and said, "I don't care about any master, it seems like I'm too old."

Chu Jiao squeezed her eyes and teased, "There are also pretty people. Don't you want to teach them step by step?"

"I regret it after teaching you, this stupid apprentice." Chen Chen waved his hand and curled his lips, "Luckily, others don't know, otherwise I'll lose all my old face."

"I'm so smart and smart, so how stupid?" Chu Jiao glared at her eyes, and said, "If you say that, it's not as simple as paying for it. Isn't the Arctic Refrigerator Company going to sell a house? You buy it as a school building."

Chen Chen shook his head repeatedly and said, "If I come forward, I will definitely be embarrassed to bid. Besides, if I buy it for more than a year, I will have to give it to the Japanese all of them, so I won't do it!"

Chu Jiao blinked and frowned and said, "What should I do? Finding a house is not that easy."

Chen Chen thought for a while and said, "Since he is a school building for the time being, he won't stay for a long time. If you don't say you may move in the country at the end of the year, I think it's more cost-effective to rent a house first."

"Okay, let's rent the house of the Arctic Refrigerator Company." Chu Jiao immediately made a decision and smiled at Chen Chen, "That's a big deal to ask them to change to rent. In terms of rent, you have to be more discounted, right?"

Chen Chen snorted and said, "I really don't want to go for such favors and old faces. Okay, let me tell you if I want to."

In fact, Chen Chen was able to buy the house. If he sold it before the Pacific War, he might lose some money, but he would save a little more than renting a house for a few months.

However, Chen Chen also doesn't want to be too arrogant or show off his wealth.

Since Manager Chen took refuge and left Shanghai, the operation of the Arctic Refrigerator Company has become increasingly difficult. Manager Chen’s cousin, Mr. Cheng, is not a talent in this area, and Manager Chen also intends to gradually withdraw funds.

Now, after taking the house, Manager Chen has completely transferred the industry out of Shanghai and has to concentrate on operating it in the United States.

Therefore, Manager Chen's cousin warmly received Chen Chen, but after hearing about his purpose, he couldn't help but look embarrassed.

"My cousin means to make the Shanghai side clear as soon as possible and don't want to leave any trouble. If Mr. Chen wants to buy it, I can even make a decision and lower the price again. I believe my cousin won't be surprised. This - I'll send a telegram there and ask?"

When Chen Chen heard what he said, he felt that he was a little bit difficult. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Since that's the case, I won't let you and Manager Chen make a difficult time, so I'll buy it. But--"

If it were cash, Chen Chen wouldn't be able to take out too much at once, but he had diamonds and jewelry!

Since Manager Chen’s cousin has finished dealing with the matter here, he will also go to the United States to meet his cousin, and those valuable items that are too shameful in Shanghai can be taken outside.

"This is how--" Mr. Cheng nodded slightly after hearing this, and said, "I think it's OK. After all, at this time, there are not many people who have to take out a large amount of cash at once. It just so happened that I had been in a jewelry business before, and this valuation and other things are more convenient."

"Then let's decide this first." Chen Chen said: "I'll be here tomorrow. I'll bring the things. You can directly estimate the price. If it's appropriate, sign the document. As for Manager Chen, do you still need to know?"

Mr. Cheng waved his hand with a smile and said, "When my cousin left Shanghai, he told me that Mr. Chen is the most trustworthy. During this period, he has also received a lot of care in Mr. Shen's management area. I can still do this."

"What are you taking care of or not? Mr. Cheng is polite." Chen Chen smiled and said, "Maybe he will bother Mr. Chen and you in the future and take care of me more in the United States!"

Mr. Cheng was stunned for a moment, then understood and nodded repeatedly, "Mr. Chen really wants to make some arrangements for a retreat. The Japanese and the spy on No. 76, but after suffering a great loss, he hated you to the core! What are your plans? Even if you want to apply for an American passport or temporarily stay, my cousin and I will do our best to help."

"It's too early to say it, and I didn't think about it well." Chen Chen expressed his gratitude and did not make a decision immediately.

After leaving the Arctic Refrigerator Company, Chen Chen returned to the police room. After handling several official duties, Cao Yixin called him and asked him to meet him. There was an important matter to discuss.

After making an appointment for the time and place, Chen Chen thought for a while, picked up the pen, and began to recall the zero-war information he had read in his previous life.

It's too professional and meticulous, Chen Chen is not going to write it out, and probably even the Japanese may not be clear about the flaws of Zero War.

For example, at high altitude, the vertical maneuver of Zero War will begin to deteriorate, the movements of the ailerons will become dull, the reactions will become slow, etc.

The information Chen Chen wants to provide should not be very clear and detailed, but it can also serve as a guiding role in actual combat, which requires consideration of the words.

"The Zero Fighter Body is super light, has an extremely large range, and has an extremely high climb rate. It has a very small turning radius in the air, and has outstanding spiral and low-speed fighting capabilities, which may be more than all the aircraft in the world at present."

"The dive speed of Zero War is not fast, which may be because the structural weight reduction is too harsh, resulting in insufficient structural strength of the body. Or it may dive and roll at a high speed to get rid of Zero War..."

"It may also be a problem caused by structural weight loss. Zero War did not install a self-sealed fuel tank and any automatic fire extinguishing device, and the pilot did not have armor protection. The material of the fuselage contains flammable substances and is prone to fire when hit."

After Chen Chen finished writing, he picked up the pen and wanted to cross out the last one, but hesitated to keep it.

With this intelligence alone, it is impossible to make the Chinese Air Force defeat Zero War, but it should save the lives of many Chinese pilots and reduce the losses of the Chinese Air Force aircraft.

As for the problem of flammability of zero fighter materials, it must be fought!

Chen Chen shook his head with a wry smile, hoping that China could develop a special armor-piercing incendiary bomb. But if the United States could know this secret in advance, it might be able to fight a few more zero battles.

Chen Chen collected the written information and was not in a hurry, just waiting for the time being to get off work.

The defeat in France caused the situation in the French Concession to take a sharp turn for the worse, but it was not as serious as Chen Chen thought. This severity did not refer to the attack on the anti-Japanese forces, but to the in and out of Chen Chen and some lenient attitude towards him.

This is the news Everett gave to Chen Chen, and it is the expression of Qiao Bei, the second-person police station in the French Concession.

Ma Jieli, the new Consul General of the Vichy government, is still on his way to Shanghai. Regardless of whether the new Consul is a feather with Betton, the French concession authorities have shown signs of division.

The Frenchman Ig, led by the French, established a Shanghai Free French group. In addition to distributing propaganda materials of Charles de Gaulle, they also recruited 65 soldiers for the Charles de Gaulle's army.

Among these sixty-five soldiers, twenty-four French policemen, and the second-ranked figure, Joe Be, was among them.

According to Everett, these men were "spent of no effort to persist in the war" and believed that they were useful personnel "when the time came, the restoration of France."

Moreover, the activities of Ig and others were welcomed by the British government. The British ambassador to Shanghai praised Ig and "having a brave, moral and justice passion, optimism rather than blindness... is really commendable."

Despite such statements, Chen Chen is still not optimistic about the situation in the French Concession.

Perhaps it will be relatively relaxed in just over two months, because Ma Jieli will arrive in Shanghai in September. If he is not loyal to the Vichy government, will he be sent?

In the French Concession, Chen Chen may have only one left, which is to kill Zhang Xiaolin.

I heard that guy was about to return to Shanghai, but Chen Chen was not ready yet, or he had not found a chance.

After thinking about it, it was finally time to get off work, and Chen Chen drove to the appointment.

The meeting place was at Cao Yixin's home. It was said that it was home, but in fact, only she and two servants, her family had never told Chen Chen.

When Chen Chen saw Cao Yixin's outfit, he was a little confused. He really didn't expect that Cao Yixin would wear an apron and cook.

"What's wrong? I didn't expect that I could cook?" Cao Yixin was not surprised at Chen Chen's expression. She reached out to signal him to sit in the living room first, raised her eyebrows, and smiled and said, "Sit for a while, the food will be ready soon, which will surprise you."

"I'm shocked now." Chen Chen sat down, with two more pieces of paper in his hand, and Cao Yixin turned around and left.

There were several information on the paper, but Cao Yixin had not sorted it out yet. Chen Chen looked at it casually, and only two caught his attention.

First, the British cabinet is discussing the withdrawal of the army from Shanghai, Tianjin and Peking, and the possibility of passing is very high.

Chen Chen knew that there were not many British troops left in China, and once war broke out, it would almost never play any role.

The British obviously think so, rather than surrendering humiliatingly, it is better to withdraw first.

But this is a bad signal, which is likely to make the Japanese more arrogant. The concession authorities will face greater pressure, and it is very possible to make compromises.

Chen Chen shook his head gently. This was not something he could decide. The situation in the concession was getting worse and worse, and this was an unchangeable trend.

Another piece of information is a clipping of newspapers from Japanese-occupied areas, which belittled the hard and soft flow of Okinawa, and vaguely mentioned Yano's defeat at the hands of a Chinese.

Is it me? Chen Chen was not sure and frowned and thought.

The person who wrote this report was like a Japanese reporter. I don’t know what purpose it was, but Chen Chen vaguely smelled the danger.

At that time, the name Karate was not yet. It was originally called Tangshou, and it was officially changed to Karate in 1936. Because it was heard from Okinawa, it was also called Okinawa Karate.

There are many schools of Okinawa’s empty hand, such as hard and soft flow, upland flow, Xiaolin flow, Shaolin flow, Shaolin flow, Shaolin temple flow, pine forest flow, Yixin flow, pine source flow, Liu Wei flow, Jin hard flow, etc.

This report has the meaning of ridicule and mocking the hard and soft flow, which is likely to cause conflicts among schools. In order to correct the reputation, measures are likely to be taken.

Although Chen Chen was not very clear about the history of karate, Cao Yixin showed him this as information, which was obviously not aimless, and it was a bit of a pleasing to his appetite.
