Second Lieutenant Duke indeed came to see Professor Heslin. As a figure that can make Abu miss, Professor Heslin is definitely a leader in the field of physics. Such people are what southern Africa strives for. Second Lieutenant Duke came to Munich
Professor Heslin's information had been obtained from relevant departments before.
During the World War, Rock was very envious of Germany's scientific research strength. Not just any country could persist for four years even if its coastline was blocked. Think about the Transvaal Republic and Austria during the Second Boer War.
The Lanzhi Free State, the two countries together, only lasted for a year and a half, and that was even with the support of the whole world.
During the Second Boer War, even France secretly supported the Transvaal Republic and the Orange Free State. It can be said that the British Empire at that time was fighting the whole world. Even so, it could still win. It can be imagined that at that time
How powerful was the British Empire?
Now the British Empire is still powerful, but Second Lieutenant Duke is from southern Africa, so Second Lieutenant Duke behaves very humbly in front of Professor Heslin.
"I am a student of Professor Kosel, and I studied with Professor Kosel at the University of Nyasaland. After knowing that I was coming to Munich, Professor Kosel told me to convey his greetings to you in person - now Kesel
Professor Purcell is in very poor health, and he regrets that he cannot come back to see you in person——" Lieutenant Duke's expression was just right, full of respect and a touch of sadness, and Professor Heslin's heart immediately began to twitch.
"What happened to Kosel?" Professor Heslin had a very good relationship with Abu, otherwise Abu would not have invited Professor Heslin to the University of Nyasaland for exchanges over and over again.
"The professor fell ill last winter and stayed in the largest hospital in Nyasaland for three months. His condition improved slightly, so he was discharged and returned to the laboratory to continue working. As a result, he was hospitalized again at the beginning of this year, when the situation was at its most dangerous.
, the hospital issued critical illness notices four times in one day—" Second Lieutenant Duke's face was full of sadness, and his voice was trembling.
"What's wrong with Cosell? Why is it like this? He's always been in good health. He's just too obsessed with work and always forgets to eat and sleep. God, please bless Cosell. He's a good man. He shouldn't
To get such a result——" Professor Heslin's voice was choked up, and Mrs. Heslin immediately came to Professor Heslin's side, holding Professor Heslin's head with one hand, and gently patted Professor Heslin's shoulder with the other.
"It's a heart disease. The professor has a serious heart problem. In fact, the professor has been unable to continue working since the year before last. However, the professor is not worried about his students, the laboratory, and the University of Nyasaland -" Duke
There were tears falling from the corners of the second lieutenant's eyes, and it could be seen that he and Abu had a really good relationship.
"Hugo, go and buy the earliest ferry ticket for me. I'm going to Nyasaland University to see my old friend for the last time." Professor Heslin was very emotional. His relationship with Professor Abu for more than 40 years has lasted almost all the time.
Professor Heslin spent most of his life, and now no one can stop Professor Heslin from going to Nyasaland.
"Okay, I'll buy it right away -" Hu Ge didn't hesitate, but there was deep worry in his eyes.
When sending Second Lieutenant Duke out, Hu Ge hesitated to speak.
"Hugo, you are my first friend in Munich. If there is anything I can do to help, I hope you will not be polite." Second Lieutenant Duke was thoughtful and discovered Hugo's abnormality.
"That's right, Lieutenant Duke, you heard it just now. I want to buy a ticket from Munich to southern Africa, but -" Hugo hesitated.
"I understand, Hugo, if you trust me, leave this matter to me, and I will definitely help Professor Heslin handle it - but Professor Heslin is old, and it may not be appropriate for him to go to southern Africa alone. After all, the ship is on the way.
It takes half a month to walk——" Lieutenant Duke was very thoughtful. It is very dangerous for people to travel these days, and too many accidents can happen at any time.
"Of course we won't let the teacher go by himself, but -" Hu Ge was even more embarrassed. In this way, the more favors he owed, the more he owed.
"It doesn't matter, give them all to me. Two - two probably won't be enough. Mrs. Heslin also needs someone to take care of her, so you and Miss Emma can go together. By the way, you can also check Miss Emma at St. Roch Hospital."
Take a look at your body. St. Roch Hospital is the best hospital in southern Africa. Although St. Roch Hospital is not as old as Ziwei Hospital, St. Roch Hospital has the best gynecology and pediatrics in southern Africa. Believe me, Miss Emma will definitely do it.
Received the best care." Ensign Duke took care of everything, including ship tickets. It was difficult for Hu Ge, but it was easy for Ensign Duke.
Since the end of the World War, passenger ships have traveled frequently between Germany and southern Africa, but in most cases, the passenger ships from Germany to southern Africa are full of passengers, while the passenger ships from southern Africa to Germany are empty.
Ensign Duke was indeed very efficient in his work. The next day, Ensign Duke sent Professor Heslin ten tickets, all of which were first class.
Hugo no longer went to work in the warehouse at this time. Since he decided to go to southern Africa, Hugo stopped working. Lieutenant Duke sent Professor Heslin enough cans and bacon, claiming that if it was not enough, it would be okay.
Professor Heslin's family was flattered to move casually to the warehouse. Professor Heslin's house was very lively these days, and Professor Heslin would hold tea parties or concerts at home every day.
Since the outbreak of the world war, Professor Heslin's house has never been so lively.
On November 3, Professor Heslin's family and Otto boarded the "Belfast" passenger ship from Germany to Portsmouth, England, and then transferred to the "Cape Town" in Southern Africa at Portsmouth.
” luxury liner.
The passenger ship "Cape Town" has a displacement of tons, a length of 290 meters, a width of 27.5 meters, a draft of 11.3 meters, and a power of 100 horsepower. It was just launched from Edwards Shipyard last year. It can be said to be the largest, most luxurious and most comfortable ocean liner in the world.
.
After transferring to the Cape Town, Professor Heslin learned that Ensign Duke had purchased first-class tickets for Professor Heslin and his family. When they boarded the ship, the captain and first mate warmly welcomed Professor Heslin and his family at the gangway.
The boatswain personally carried the luggage for Professor Heslin and his family, and the steward personally sent Professor Heslin and his family to the first-class cabin. The first-class cabin is located on the top floor of the "Cape Town". There are seven rooms in total, each room has an independent bathroom.
, there is even a kitchen in the first class cabin. Of course, if you don’t want to cook, you can also ask the waiter to send it directly to the room.
There are two waiters dedicated to serving Professor Heslin's family.
At this time, Professor Heslin, no matter how dull he was, realized that something was unusual.
Professor Abu indeed has great powers in southern Africa, but Professor Abu's influence has always been limited. For an ocean shipping company that owns the "Cape Town", Professor Abu's influence is not so great.
Unlike Professor Heslin, Emma and Little Gretel were very curious about the facilities in the first-class cabin. A gramophone could make Emma and Little Grete very happy. In fact, Professor Heslin also had electric lights at home in Munich, but since
After the outbreak of the World War, the power supply in Munich was unstable. Two years after the World War, the power supply to ordinary households was completely interrupted, and power could only be guaranteed for war-related factories.
Compared with Emma Gretel, Hugo's performance was quite stable, while Erwin and Otto were particularly excited.
The "Cape Town" is indeed luxurious. In the first-class guest rooms, wherever gold foil can be used, it will be edged with gold foil. All the windows are made of colorful glass. The chandeliers in the living room are made of crystal. The wine
The cabinet is filled with all kinds of famous wines. These wines are all given by the "Cape Town" passenger ship, and the price is included in the ticket.
"Hugo, how much does a ticket like this cost?" Professor Heslin looked ugly.
"I'm sorry, teacher, I went to Ensign Duke to borrow money to buy the boat ticket. All these were arranged by Ensign Duke -" Hu Ge told the truth. He was now far enough away from Ensign Duke to have ulterior motives, but Hu Ge didn't hate it.
To put it bluntly, no one should dislike such ulterior motives. Although it doesn’t feel good to be set up by others, since boarding the "Cape Town", Professor Heslin and his family can feel the "Cape Town" everywhere.
"We respect them from top to bottom. This respect comes from the heart and is not malicious.
What is there about Professor Heslin and his family that is worthy of Second Lieutenant Duke's calculations?
"A young lieutenant's salary for a year is not enough for this ticket." Although Professor Heslin didn't know the price of first-class cabin, it was obvious that one or two hundred pounds was not enough.
"Perhaps this was arranged by Professor Abu -" Hu Ge said in a nice way, but he could not withstand scrutiny. Professor Abu's financial strength was no problem, but to buy a first-class ticket, financial strength alone was not enough.
"Old man, don't think so much, just think of it as a trip. You haven't taken me on a trip since we got married." Mrs. Heslin found another way. This was indeed a good reason. Professor Heslin immediately felt helpless.
"I'm too busy with work -" Professor Heslin defended. He was indeed busy with work and devoted himself wholeheartedly to his work. Not to mention traveling to distant southern Africa, Professor Heslin and Mrs. Heslin didn't even go to Germany after their marriage.
Been out.
"No matter how busy you are at work, you can't neglect your family. This is no excuse for you!" Mrs. Heslin said as if the grape trellis was about to collapse.
"I'm not making excuses -" Professor Heslin looked helpless. If there are people in this world that Professor Heslin is afraid of, then Mrs. Heslin must be among the top three.
The number one ranking is of course Little Gretel. In this world, only Little Gretel dares to pull Professor Heslin's beard unscrupulously.
