Beiyang reactionaries

His actions are playing tricks, or stealing the day.Let the embassy in France help many Jews leave, and the movement is not small.On the other hand, Li Zhilong quietly transferred those experts and professors.

Very inhumane.

It is to use those ordinary Jews as a shield.But the fact is so cruel. In Duan Xun's eyes, on China's side, 1 ordinary Jews are no match for a Nobel Prize winner.Of course, this is true not only for Jews, but for any nation.For any nation, 1 ordinary people are no match for a top expert in China.

Because China has no shortage of people now.What China lacks are those leaders.

Even if a Nobel Prize winner is old and unable to produce any results, if he comes to China, China will still make money.Just cultivating students, and even bringing fame, is enough.So on the surface, visas were issued to those ordinary Jews, and a group of Jews were transported out of France to attract everyone's attention.Secretly, the experts and professors in those lists are transferred.

China still has an advantage in this respect.

Because China has relatively good relations with countries such as Germany, Italy, and Spain, it has been doing business these years.China is taking advantage of this opportunity to use these trading companies to establish extensive contacts in European countries and establish its own intelligence system.

It's very easy to get some special passes if you're lucky.

What made Duan Xun happiest during this period was the news from Bohr.Perhaps because of the help from China, Bohr was willing to come to China, but he was unwilling to become a Chinese citizen.Bohr just hoped to come to China to avoid the limelight during the war years, and he still wanted to return to Denmark when the war was over.

But Duan Xun was already very happy.

After all, that was Bohr, a great figure in the world of physics and a Nobel Prize winner.And this time Bohr fled Denmark, not just one person.In addition to his family, he left Denmark with more than 20 researchers at the Institute of Theoretical Physics in Copenhagen, as well as many Jewish professors hiding in Denmark.Together with their families, the number of evacuees reached more than 170 people.

The important thing is that Bohr was willing to accept Beiyang University's invitation to serve as a professor of physics at Beiyang University.Those researchers, including those brought by Bohr, are also willing to teach in Chinese universities.It's just that the current time is too short, so there is no arrangement yet.Anyway, they haven't come to China yet, Chinese universities have plenty of time to arrange.With so many outstanding professors and researchers coming to teach in Chinese universities, Chinese universities must have taken the lead.

Moreover, Bohr was willing to help China set up a physics institute in China, which was located in Tianjin and named Tianjin Institute of Theoretical Physics.

Tianjin is one of the educational cities in China.The cities with the most developed higher education in China are Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Harbin, and Tianjin.These cities are the cities with the highest concentration of colleges and universities in China.Harbin is a rising star, but because of the support of the Northeast Bureau and the Northeast Construction Corps, it has developed rapidly.Especially in agriculture, biology, chemistry, and machinery, it is the leader in the country.

As for Tianjin, it is a veteran education center.

Because from Li Hongzhang to Yuan Shikai, Tianjin has always been the home of the Beiyang Army.Duan Xun is said to be a direct descendant of the Beiyang Army, so he has always been very supportive of Tianjin's educational development.

At present, Tianjin has more than 20 universities for undergraduate and junior colleges.Among them, the five most well-known universities are well-known throughout the country.

They are Beiyang University, Hebei University of Technology, Nankai University, Beiyang University of Law and Political Science, and Tianjin Naval University.Among them, Hebei University of Technology mainly focuses on engineering, Nankai University mainly focuses on sociology, especially the economics department of Nankai University is the most famous in China.Beiyang Hosei University is best known for its political science and law.Beiyang University is strong in both science and engineering.Tianjin Naval University is a military academy that merged the former Tianjin Naval Academy and Yantai Naval Academy.

Among them, Beiyang University is the most famous and the most powerful.

After all, it is a direct line university of the Beiyang Army.And Beiyang University has the worst temper.Duan Xun urged Beiyang University every year to expand its enrollment.But Beiyang University is still slow.Up to now, Beiyang University has enrolled less than 600 students every year.Duan Xun originally hoped that Beiyang University could enroll about 1000 students each year, but Beiyang University used various excuses to delay.If you really can't stand it, then you will charge 30 more people to deal with the Ministry of Education.

Beiyang University is truly taking the elite route.

The teachers of the university are all well-known professors, and the annual financial allocation is also very large, and the laboratories are the most among Chinese universities.But the number of students trained is the least.Moreover, it is too strict, and one sixth of the students do not graduate when they graduate.In the year with the largest number of graduates in recent years, there were only 484 graduates.Of course, the result is that the level of talents cultivated is also very high.When Bohr came to China this time, he chose to teach at Beiyang University.Moreover, China placed its first Institute of Physics in Tianjin, and it also took a fancy to the strength of Beiyang University.

Anyway, in 1941, the whole world was in trouble, and the war became more and more fierce.But China is very stable, and it is still developing steadily according to its own plan.In this way, the time came to the end of August 1941, and Duan Xun chose to leave Beijing again.Because on September 8, 1941, the Asian Joint Conference was to be held in Nanjing, China.The Asian Joint Conference was proposed by China and Japan, and it will be changed every two years.This time it was China's turn to hold the event, and the meeting place was in Nanjing.This time is the year with the highest specification since the Asian Joint Conference was held.

The previous Asian joint meetings have always been attended by foreign ministers from various countries.

But this time, Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo proposed that the capitals of Asian countries will gather together.Therefore, Duan Xun also left Beijing to attend the Asian Joint Conference in Nanjing.It took about 4 days on the road to arrive in Xuzhou.

The train Duan Xun took did not choose to go directly to Nanjing, but detoured from Shandong.In the middle, I also met with the leaders of Shandong.After all, it is not easy for Duan Xun to come out once, and it is necessary to listen to the report of the unit below.

After walking like this for three days, when they arrived in Xuzhou, Xu Yongchang reported to Duan Xun.

"How is the result?"

"The U.S. military lost another game, and Midway Island was occupied by the Japanese army."

"What about it?"

The United States and Japan are fighting each other in the Pacific Ocean.

After the Battle of the Coral Sea, the United States suffered a serious shortage of surface ships, so the United States became more active in launching submarine warfare.It has been almost 10 months since the Pearl Harbor incident broke out, and the United States has also begun to slowly recover.

Marshall was an excellent chief of staff.

After discovering that it would take time to replenish large surface ships such as aircraft carriers and battleships, Marshall immediately changed his original thinking based on the current situation in the Pacific Ocean.Let the American shipyards build warships that are easy to build, and first stabilize the situation in the Pacific Ocean.

This includes light aircraft carriers, escort aircraft carriers, destroyers, and submarines.

The United States is the world's largest industrial country, and its industrial strength is the world's largest.After he started to change his mind, the speed of building large ships did slow down, especially the speed of building large aircraft carriers.At present, two large aircraft carriers have just been launched, but they have not been incorporated into the Pacific Fleet.

However, the launching speed of other warships is very astonishing.Two light aircraft carriers have been launched, 2 escort aircraft carriers have been launched, more than 14 destroyers have been launched, and more than 90 submarines have been launched.Of course, more than 50 transport ships were built.More importantly, the United States began to gain experience, and the construction speed of escort aircraft carriers began to be greatly accelerated.

But water ships are still inferior to Japan, so the United States still adopted submarine warfare.

At present, the Pacific Fleet already has about 130 submarines, which are constantly attacking the Japanese Navy.Of course, the Japanese navy is not a vegetarian. Facing the submarine warfare of the United States, it has also thought of many ways.

It is mainly to buy a large number of escort aircraft carriers and destroyers from China, and escort destroyers for anti-submarine use.Of course, this is only passive. Japan is not a country that is passively beaten.After they trimmed their troops, they fought the second Battle of Midway.

"The United States repaired the Japanese aircraft carrier captured in the last Midway naval battle and the damaged aircraft carrier in the Coral Sea naval battle, and participated in this battle. It also dispatched four escort aircraft carriers, two battleships, and nine Two destroyers also participated in the battle. But in this midway battle, the losses were heavy, and the two repaired aircraft carriers were sunk by the Japanese army. The two escort aircraft carriers, one battleship, and two destroyers were all sunk by the Japanese army. "

"How could this be?"

Duan Xun was very surprised.

When did the Japanese navy become so powerful?Historically, during World War II, Japan had an advantage at the beginning, and was almost beaten by the U.S. military in the subsequent naval battles.

Unexpectedly, in this time and space, after Japan was severely damaged in the naval battle of Midway Island, it became more and more courageous as it fought.First, the naval battle in the Coral Sea was won and the U.S. Navy was severely damaged.Unexpectedly, in the second naval battle of Midway Island, Japan won again.

"Japan is fully prepared. This time Japan wants to completely occupy Midway Island, gathering the main force of the Japanese navy. Just six large aircraft carriers and two light aircraft carriers, including the two aircraft carriers we handed over. There are escort aircraft carriers, battleships, and 34 warships of various types. Behind them are transport ships, which transport landing troops."

"What about Japan's losses?"

"Sunk an aircraft carrier, sank a battleship."

"Take Midway?"

"Yes, Japan has already occupied Midway Island. Teacher, Japan's victory in the Midway Island naval battle this time will give Japan an even more obvious advantage in the Pacific Ocean. After Japan completely controls Midway Island, they will definitely continue to attack the Hawaiian Islands. At present, the United States The Pacific Fleet doesn't have many surface ships."

Xu Yongchang spoke very seriously.

Japan's tyranny exceeded the expectations of many Chinese generals.

I really didn't expect Japan to be so bullish, and it really beat the U.S. Navy into such a bear.Midway Island is not big, just a small place of 5 square kilometers.But here is a very important naval base of the US Pacific Fleet, which is now taken by Japan.

Japan's next goal must be to continue to attack the Hawaiian Islands.Judging from the current situation, Japan has a great advantage in the Pacific Ocean.

"It is estimated that the war between them will become more and more intense in the next step. It has been almost ten months since the US-Japan war broke out, and the US arsenal is not a vegetarian. Moreover, the US has deployed a lot of troops in the Hawaiian Islands. Although the Japanese navy has the advantage , but it is very difficult to win the Hawaiian Islands."

Duan Xun admires Japan's tyranny.

But this war has been fought so far, and Japan has lost its chance of success.Because the United States has already mobilized, a large number of army troops have been stationed in the Hawaiian Islands to build fortifications here.Including the deployment of a large number of US aircraft in the Hawaiian Islands, the US's air superiority will become greater and greater.It is very difficult for Japan to capture the Hawaiian Islands without using more than one million army troops.Moreover, American shipyards have also begun to build warships in large quantities, but they have not had time to equip troops.

As long as the United States is given a few more months, the United States can form a Pacific Fleet again.Regardless of the fact that the United States has lost a lot in these few wars, after starting the war machine with the industrial strength of the United States, it will soon be able to make up for it.

What about Japan?

It's just that they are well prepared, so they have the advantage now.If it weren't for China to support Japan behind, the current Japanese navy would not be so tyrannical.However, Japan's industrial strength is not at all an opponent of the United States, and the speed of replenishment cannot keep up with the speed of loss.However, according to the current situation, Japan's advantage in the Pacific Ocean is estimated to last for another year.
