Chapter 424: A Travelogue Brings Disaster

In May 1980, Yuan Longping, a researcher at the Hunan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, was ordered to lead a team to the United States to teach hybrid rice seed production technology.

Before setting off, he said to his wife expectantly: "It seems that our life of poverty is about to end.

I worked in the United States for 4 months, and my domestic salary was paid as usual. The American company also paid me US$3,000 every month.

With this trip to the United States, we will have a household worth tens of thousands of dollars! "

In early September, Yuan Longping returned to Yanjing after completing his mission.

All the wages I brought back were handed over to the Ministry of Agriculture, and I only received a living subsidy of 20 yuan per day, totaling more than 2,000 yuan.

But even so, Yuan Longping is still as happy as the Chinese New Year.

"Thousand Yuan Household" is also good!

He immediately took his salary and went into the department store in Wangfujing the night before returning to Hunan and bought some beautiful clothes for his wife.

At this moment, Jiang Shan and Chen Peisi were carrying luggage and machines, happily getting into a sea view villa.

"There are so many rooms in this building, maybe the two of you can live there too."

As soon as he walked in and looked around, Jiang Shan was polite to the comrades from the Ministry of Foreign Trade like an old woman.

"Oh no no no,"

Unexpectedly, he is a rule-abiding person and would not dare to violate the rules:

"This building is the resting place specially designated for you by the Li Department. We have our own designated residence."

"What happened to us has already alarmed the organization?"

Jiang Shan and Chen Peisi looked at each other: "That's so embarrassing."

The two people's smiles never disappeared for a moment, not to mention how embarrassed they were.

…

After waving hard at the butt of the van, Jiang Shan and Chen Peisi rushed back to the small building.

In the small building at this time, Huang Yongyu, Wang Shixiang, Wang Fulin, and Ren Dahui had already disappeared.

"Wang Shixiang, please go up to the second floor and take a look. This room is hexagonal."

"My house is amazing, it actually has 8 windows."

"Fu Lin, come and take a look here. The sea is right out of the window!"

"Look, the furniture here is actually from the Republic of China."

"This room on the second floor belongs to me, don't take it from me!"

"Who are you?"

"I'm Huang Yongyu!"

"..."

The lights in the whole villa were turned on one by one, comrades rushed up and down to visit, and good news came frequently.

"Jiang Shan, come up quickly!"

Until a woman's scream came from top to bottom.

Jiang Shan and Chen Peisi quickly rushed up the spiral staircase.

"I go!"

"Oh my God!"

Pushing open a wooden door on the third floor, an oversized platform immediately came into view.

The sea, the beach, the evening breeze, the ferry... you can see everything at a glance.

"Hey, this place is nice!"

“It makes you feel comfortable looking at it!”

At this moment, everyone came up.

A few people lay on the fence of the platform to enjoy the evening breeze and watch the blue sea.

"It's so beautiful,"

After watching the last drop of the sunset sinking into the sea level, Wang Fulin couldn't help but admire: "Fortunately, I came with you this time."

Ren Dahui: "Thank you for bringing me along."

"I want to paint," Huang Yongyu shouted to the sea breeze: "Set up a stall tomorrow morning!"

"Xiaojiang,"

The more Wang Shixiang looked at it, the more he liked it: "I feel like living here is more comfortable than Diaoyutai!"

This moment, the rooftop platform faces the sea, so uncomfortable.

As far as the eye can see, there is tranquility.

It seems that the whole world is centered on this.

"This was originally the Diaoyutai of Qingdao."

Jiang Shan looked at the sea in the distance, grinning happily with his teeth bared.

I remember that in my previous life, I paid for a ticket to visit this building. Was it five yuan or eight yuan?

"Do you know who has lived in this building?" Jiang Shan said.

"Has anyone lived there?"

"Ye Shuai, Mr. Chen," Jiang Shan counted one by one:

"Before liberation, this was the refuge of the old Chiang Kai-shek and his wife. It is said that this building was funded by a newspaper tycoon from the Belarusian period."

It is also said that it was built by the Germans.

The Cultural Heritage Bureau and the Tourism Bureau each have their own reasons, but neither agrees with the other.

Therefore, both of them erected two historical explanations with different contents in front of the Huashi Building in later generations.

It was quite exciting to watch.

However, regardless of who paid for it, the building is really well built.

…

The residence that Li Bu arranged for Jiangshan's location crew this time was Qingdao Badaguan, which is known as one of the "five most beautiful areas" in the country.

The so-called "Eight Passes" refers to the dozen or so roads named after famous passes in the south of Qingdao City.

Such as: Shanhaiguan Road, Jiayuguan Road...

The building where Jiang Shan and the others are staying now is a small ancient Roman-style building on the southernmost promontory of the "Badaguan" area.

It is also one of the more distinctive buildings among the more than 300 buildings in the "Badaguan".

Because the exterior walls are made of granite, it is simply called "Huashi Building".

This building, including the basement, has a total of five floors.

When the war in Northeast China was tense, Chiang Kai-shek and his wife hid here.

The locals also call it Chiang Kai-shek's mansion.

Until it was confiscated after liberation, the furniture inside was never moved.

"No wonder it looks different," Chen Peisi said, "It's built like a castle."

"I seem to have seen photos of this house in your Teacher Shen's home,"

Huang Yongyu remembered now: "A long time ago, comrades from the Federation of Literary and Art Circles invited him to come to Qingdao to engage in creation. It seemed that he lived in this area at that time."

"I was just going to say something," Yu Sigui looked in the direction he was coming from:

"Where on earth are we coming here? Have you noticed? The small buildings here are more beautiful than the others. I can hardly see them with my eyes!"

"You're right, it's a very unique place."

"We must take a walk around during the day tomorrow."

…

Because the city of Qingdao has an unusual history.

So there are many extraordinary traces left here.

For example, the German-built Laoshan Soda Drink Factory, Tsingtao Brewery... and the "Eight Great Pass", a unique "architecture from all over the world".

In 1898, the Qing government signed the "Jiaoao Lend Treaty" with Germany.

The following year, Kaiser Wilhelm II ordered the seaside "Jiaoao" to be renamed Qingdao.

After arriving in Qingdao, the Germans immediately formulated a series of Qingdao city plans.

One of the bays surrounded by mountains was given a very familiar name: Victoria Harbor.

And designated that as his "comfort zone".

To put it bluntly, it is the seaside resort of later generations.

Since then, nobles from Germany, Russia, Britain, and China have carried out extensive construction projects here and built a number of exotic beachfront villas.

In 1922, after the Beiyang government took back Qingdao, they came to take a look: Hey, the construction is really beautiful!

So he ordered that this area be renamed Taiping Mountain and Taiping Bay.

Then it is stipulated: continue to build and continue to be beautiful.

However, buildings of the same style are not allowed to be built on the same road.

Not only that, but also detailed regulations have been made on the building height, density, green space... in this area.

In this way, the Badaguan, which faces the sea and the bay, has become a "complex of buildings from all over the world" with pleasant and quiet scenery and row upon row of famous buildings.

Now walking in this area of ​​villas, the surrounding areas are either where the Commander of the US Seventh Fleet and Sihanouk lived, or where Ba Jin, Cao Yu, Shen Congwen lived...

Now, it's finally Jiangshan's turn.

…

Yu Sigui didn't react until this moment: "So the protest of 'Give me back Qingdao and give me back my sovereignty' is about this city?"

At this moment, they were on their way out looking for food along the way.

"Isn't that what it's about?"

When Wang Shixiang was learning German, he also studied:

"Do you know when the Germans started to pursue Qingdao?"

Faced with an obviously slower pace in the circle, Wang Shixiang walked steadily with his hands behind his back:

“In the mid-19th century, they sent a geographer to China to conduct surveys.

This old man named Richthofen came to us seven times. After returning, he wrote a travel diary about China and suddenly became a traveler again.

But you know, while writing this travelogue, he also submitted a survey report on the geographical environment and mineral resources of Shandong, China, to the German government.

He also strongly suggested that Germany seize the railway construction rights around Jiaozhou Bay to defend their interests in North China. "

"You can pay him back!" Huang Yongyu immediately became angry.

Jiang Shan: "Isn't this just a war criminal?"

Wang Fulin: "These fascists can't bear to see other people's good things..."

It was precisely because of this geological report that Germany chose Qingdao in such a large area.

"Lu Xun once said..."

Wang Shixiang also liked this: "Since Li's travels, Jiaozhou has long been out of my hands."

In fact, after learning about this incident, Xu Jingcheng, the minister to France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Austria, suggested to the Qing government that Jiaozhou should be opened in time to build a military port and station a navy.

Although this matter did attract the attention of the Qing government, it even sent Ding Ruchang to Qingdao for on-the-spot investigation.

But in the end, due to insufficient funds, it was not until 1892 that the construction of a city and military port began in Qingdao.

Unexpectedly, before the posture was fully deployed, the Germans took it.

…

"Everyone has heard of aircraft carriers, right?"

They were the only ones sitting in a state-owned noodle shop on the street.

At this moment, Jiang Shan revealed another purpose of coming to Qingdao.

When Wang Fulin heard this, he nodded: "It's the kind of big warship that can park many planes, right?"

"A ship that can park planes?" Chen Peisi was shocked: "How many planes are there?"

"Yes, that's pretty much it," Jiang Shan nodded.

In May of this year, Jiang Shan and his party had just returned from New York.

General Liu then boarded the American "Raider".

That photo that moved the country was born at that time.

Jiang Shan chatted while eating: "Actually, aircraft carriers came to Qingdao Port a long time ago."

"I heard that a large military port was built in Qingdao," Wang Fulin said, "it seems to have been built for many years."

"The military port you mentioned was just completed this year," Jiang Shan said:

"The aircraft carrier I'm talking about is actually an aircraft carrier that the Japanese army came here to compete with Germany for the fat piece of Qingdao during World War I."

Although Japan has refused to admit it, this ship is actually a quasi-aircraft carrier.

"Little Japan has an aircraft carrier so early?" Wang Fulin was surprised.

"For this battle, Japan sent a total of 66 warships, large and small," Jiang Shan shook his head and said:

"Who would have thought that the only comprehensive battle between Japan and Germany on land, sea and air would actually take place in our country."

Huang Yongyu: "Just to compete for Qingdao?"

Jiang Shan: "No!"

Wang Fulin: "That's why they shamelessly asked for Qingdao at the Paris talks."

Yu Sigui: "Then the May 4th Movement happened." At this time, Miss Yu finally straightened things out.

"In 1945, Japan surrendered, and the United States brought one of its aircraft carriers to Qingdao Port in the name of surrender."

"Really?" Wang Fulin said, "So, Qingdao Port is really a battleground."

"So," Jiang Shan: "Our country also ordered the expansion of Qingdao Port in 1971.

However, due to various reasons, the progress of this project has been slow.

It was not until 1975 that Duke Zhou personally mobilized three regiments and four independent battalions, and the construction finally began to be fully promoted. "

After thinking about Jiangshan carefully, I realized that it seemed that Duke Zhou could be seen in everything.

Later, after the completion of the ancient town port, it was upgraded again in later generations and became my country's aircraft carrier specifically for docking aircraft carriers.

"Is this military port completed now?" Chen Pest wanted to take a look: "How about we go and have a look tomorrow?"

"That's what I meant," Jiang Shan said:

"In addition, I have good news for everyone. Our aerial photography mission this time will be completed with the cooperation of our country's first carrier-based aircraft and helicopter force."

Wang Fulin, Ren Dahui, and Chen Peisi's eyes immediately lit up.

"So awesome?"

"That's fine."

"We can hug each other in Qingdao's city, sea, land and air."

"It seems that everyone likes it very much," Jiang Shan smiled sweetly: "Then I'll leave this to you."

"What?" Wang Fulin reacted first: "Xiao Jiang, aren't you going to go up?"

Jiang Shan buried his head in eating noodles: "No, no, no."

"Military aircraft," Chen Peisi couldn't wait any longer: "Where can I find this opportunity?"

"I'll give you this opportunity."

What is Jiangshan most afraid of?

high!

The plane can still stand upright, but the helicopter can't stand upright.

"Xiaojiang is afraid of heights, it's not like you don't know,"

Fortunately, Huang Yongyu still remembered: "When we lived at the Waldorf Astoria in New York, he would get dizzy if he looked downstairs for a while."

"This is the one, don't drag him on the plane,"

Wang Shixiang also remembered: "Otherwise, you won't be able to aim the machine accurately if you go up there."

"Then..."

Wang Fulin looked at Ren Dahui and said, "Let's go up and take pictures."

"I'm familiar with this machine from Jiangshan."

Yu Sigui raised his hand and said, "I'd better go up with you!"

"you sure?"

Jiang Shan finally finished eating noodles: "Do you dare to go up?"

"What's wrong with this?"

Yu Sigui glanced at Jiangshan with a smile: "Besides, can the helicopter flown by the People's Liberation Army still be unstable?"

"Yes," Wang Fulin nodded: "Xiao Yu is right, we will go up together tomorrow."

"If you can sit there, take one with me," Chen Peisi said, "Lao Mao will be on a fighter jet soon. I have to get on a military helicopter anyway!"

"That's right," Jiang Shan was a little tempted after hearing this:

"This is a helicopter unit that has salvaged the data module of the Pacific Launch Vehicle... Otherwise, I'll do it myself tomorrow!"

When the other person heard this, he immediately became more positive.

"You stay here while you go,"

Wang Fulin greeted Yu Sigui and Chen Peisi: "Come, come, let's discuss it..."

After this discussion, Jiang Shan finally had the opportunity to continue speaking...
