Volume 4: Hot! The whole world is a warring state Chapter 658 Study on the Cruise Ship
"Lieutenant Colonel, I am very dissatisfied with your tone just now. You must apologize to Ms. Gloria!"
On the morning of August 9, at the Spanish Navy dock in Lisbon Port, Johannes Kepler, who had cheated on his wife for the first time in his life and had been inseparable from Gloria for three days, was like a second spring in life. At this moment, he was standing on the escalator connecting a 5,000-ton luxury passenger ship to the platform, spitting wildly at a thirty-year-old officer wearing the unique black uniform of the Spanish Intelligence Agency.
The Spanish intelligence officer, also named Fernando, was very helpless at the moment. He could only stand straight and let Kepler talk nonsense.
What happened to this professor? From Madrid to Lisbon, until last night, although this professor was not skilled in dealing with people, he was generally polite. Why did this professor go crazy after he stopped the socialite from boarding the ship this morning?
Tsk! There are many prostitutes like this in Lisbon, and even more in Madrid. If you really want one, I'll get you a dozen when I get back to Madrid! Women like this are good for fun, why do you want to keep them for a long time?
You and this woman had sex every day a few days ago, and I was negligent for not interfering too much. You actually want to bring him on board to continue? This is absolutely not allowed - although this woman is Portuguese, she came back from Shadian in the Far East. Her mother is no longer with her. Although her father is a small businessman, he also came back from Shadian in the Far East. For such a family, no, according to the instinct of intelligence personnel to doubt everything, it is not certain whether these two people are really father and daughter! In short, the Portuguese who came back from the Far East are likely to be subverted by the Chinese. Such people cannot have too much contact with scientists who have mastered the country's core technology.
"Professor, let me say it again. The knowledge you possess is enough to change the fate of a country. Therefore, you cannot have long-term contact with ordinary strangers."
"Bang!" The old man in his sixties angrily kicked the box in the hand of the attendant behind him and said, "I'm not leaving! Rafael, go find me a car, I want to go back to Madrid! Lieutenant Colonel, do you still care if I invite Ms. Gloria to visit Madrid?"
"Professor." Fernando, who was spitting all over his face, didn't even dare to wipe it off. "I'm very sorry, but this lady has to leave you from now on. You are a national treasure, and anyone our intelligence agency deems unreliable cannot stay in contact with you for too long."
"@&%!" After swearing, the old man went completely crazy: "Your Majesty invited me to Asturias when I was six years old... I have worked for Your Majesty for thirty-one years. Can I retire? Can I never go to the Asturias laboratory again from now on?"
"Professor." A hand gently pressed down the mad Kepler.
"I'm sorry, Gloria, for showing you such an ugly side. But these bastards are so mean!"
"No, they are just doing their job." Gloria, whose face was as beautiful as a finely carved statue, smiled bitterly: "It doesn't matter. We Portuguese who have returned from the Far East have always been the focus of their intelligence agency. I'm used to it."
"No! This is not right! This is unfair! Gloria, Spain and Portugal have been unified, why do some people still treat the people of the former Portuguese region differently? You were born in the Far East because of your parents, what's wrong with that? I have decided, I will go back to Madrid to meet His Majesty Philip. His Majesty's mind is the broadest in the whole of Europe, no, in the whole world. For a German like me, he has never had any doubts or restrictions on me in the past 30 years! It's them!"
He stretched out his hand angrily. "It is this group of black people who are self-righteous and ignore His Majesty Philip's basic national policy of European unity for the sake of so-called national security. Lieutenant Colonel, please stay away from me, because next, I will go back to Madrid by myself and accuse His Majesty Philip of abusing your power and your superiors!"
"Maldita Sea!" Lieutenant Colonel Fernando could only yell this Spanish curse in his heart. There was no other way. All the members of the Academy of Sciences of Asturias were treasures of the kingdom. His Majesty Philip had repeatedly lectured these intelligence officers in charge of security: If you die because of your work, the country will definitely give you enough pensions and honors, and treat your children well. But if your negligence in your work causes problems for the academicians, in addition to hanging you, your family will also suffer permanent disgrace.
Therefore, no matter how angry he was, he didn't dare to vent it here.
Gently taking a step back, he tried to speak in a calm tone, "Professor, you don't have to do this, and you can't return to Madrid at this time. We have dispatched two ironclad ships from the Mediterranean to escort you, and specially used the Princess cruise ship that has just been put into use as your exclusive vehicle... Of course, considering your contribution to the country, the deployment of these resources is nothing. But the battleship Prince is waiting for your inspection in South America. So, you can't return to Madrid at this moment."
"What? Are you going to force me? Humph, in terms of physical strength, I really can't do anything to you. But whether my brain can work or not, it's up to me to decide!"
"No, professor, you misunderstood." Fernando took a deep breath and said with difficulty: "In order to make your journey less lonely, I agree to let Ms. Gloria board the ship and accompany you to America."
"...Huh, Lieutenant Colonel, wouldn't it be better if you said so earlier?"
"Professor, I must explain to you. I will report today's events word for word to my director. And such a report may be passed to His Majesty Philip's desk."
"It doesn't matter. His Majesty Philip knows my loyalty to this country. Similarly, I will write to His Majesty and accuse him of your different treatment of Spaniards and Portuguese, which affects European unity."
"Then let us each do our respective duties. Then, Professor, please come aboard. Oh, Ms. Gloria, please come aboard as well."
…
After a burst of low and heavy breathing, there were a few brief high-pitched sounds, and the luxurious suite on the top floor of the Princess Cruise ship finally became quiet for a while.
"Pah~" A white and silky hand lit a lighter and lit a cigarette for the exhausted old man. With the help of the beautiful young woman, the old man finally relaxed after puffing a few times.
"My dear, you are so beautiful. When I saw you, I realized that I had lived in vain for the past few decades."
"Professor, you can't say that. Madam gave birth to ten children for you. She gave everything to you."
"You know, there are so many things I like about you. Your talent, your conversation, your body , and the smell of you. But my favorite thing is that you know when to advance and when to retreat. Whether it was when you spoke for Fernando at the dock or when you reminded me not to forget my wife just now. Oh, why is God so partial to you, concentrating all the advantages on you?"
"You are making fun of me again. If I am perfect, then you must be holy, or I would not be so attracted to you the moment I saw you."
"Hahaha, the word holy can only be used for His Majesty Philip and His Highness Rudolf, who died young due to overwork. After all, they were born under the protection of angel guards. And in the past thirty years or so, they have indeed restored peace to Europe, which has suffered from war."
Men, regardless of age, social status, wealth, are generally blindly confident: I am so outstanding, it is normal for you to like me, and if you don’t like me, you are blind!
So, when Gloria took the initiative to throw herself into his arms, Kepler did not doubt it at all: I am the top scientist in Europe and even the world. Isn't it normal for beautiful women to worship and admire me?
And what about Gloria?
She was indeed a spy for the Ming Dynasty.
She and her father Anthony were not really father and daughter. Her family was originally a small merchant in Shadian. Her father went bankrupt because of the oppression of Spanish merchants who colluded with the Governor's Office. As the saying goes, when it rains, it pours. Poverty brings not only hunger but also disease. A family of three developed pneumonia because of a common cold, and her mother died. But her father crossed the Rangoon River for her, where he was treated by a doctor from the Ming Dynasty - her father died, but she survived.
From then on, she was taken in by the Jinyiwei, who provided this extremely beautiful girl at the age of five or six with a high-quality education, basic martial arts training, and deepened her hatred of Spain in her mind... After more than ten years of training, in order to give her a safe identity in Europe, the Jinyiwei found Anthony to play her father - he was also a Portuguese, a small businessman who went bankrupt and his family was destroyed because of being bullied by the Spaniards.
This "father and daughter" are the most loyal and reliable spies of the Jinyiwei in Europe.
This time, she took the initiative to get close to Kepler, not because of an order from her superiors. It was a spontaneous action after she and Anthony discussed it: Richelieu was still on his way from Ming Dynasty to Europe. The reason they wanted to do this was that they felt that their current level was too low, and if they wanted to get more advanced intelligence, they had to work hard to improve their social status.
As for choosing Kepler, they had indeed been planning for a long time: to be precise, they were targeting the members of the Asturian Academy of Sciences.
Unexpectedly, the result this time was completely beyond expectations: Generally speaking, veterans who are used to being around women will not take the initiative, will not refuse, but will never take responsibility for women who take the initiative to throw themselves into their arms. But Professor Kepler, perhaps because he was too busy with work in the past few years, is obviously still a novice in terms of feelings. He has just tasted the sweetness of the marrow and was completely conquered by Gloria's young body, and actually fell in love with her!
"Professor, did you design this ship?"
"You mean the Princess? Well, I didn't participate in the design of this ship. But it's obvious that this ship draws on many of the latest achievements we made when we built the Prince battleship. For example." Kepler fumbled at the head of the bed for a while, and with a "click", he pulled the light switch in the cabin, and the whole room was suddenly filled with light.
"Professor, this is the electric light, right? I have only heard of it, but today is the first time I have seen it. After all, as you know, there is no electric light even in the Aruda Palace."
"Hahaha, electric lights are a new thing, but to be honest, they are not expensive in themselves. The main reason why they cannot be popularized now is that the transmission lines and large transformers need to be further improved. However, on ships, using steam engines to drive generators and a single ship using specially configured transformers is completely capable of taming electricity and putting it into practical use."
"Professor." Gloria put on her chin with both hands, looking at him with admiration. "Do you really know everything?"
"How is this possible? Even Professor Galileo, the chief scientist of our Academy of Sciences, doesn't dare to claim that he knows everything."
"But you know much more than I do."
"Haha, dear, everyone's expertise is different. Just like you play the guzheng so well, which is something I can't even compare to."
"If you are interested, since we will be drifting in the Atlantic Ocean for at least a month, I can practice this musical instrument from the East with you ?"
"I am very willing to learn this instrument from you, but..." He stretched out his half-crippled hand: "God does not allow me to do this."
"Oh, that's a pity. It's such a long journey, and we're stuck on the boat. We have to find something to do."
Looking at the beautiful woman with a sad face, the old man's heart almost melted: "Dear, if you are willing, I can teach you some knowledge of electricity during this long journey. Let you understand why this light is on."
"Can I? I am Portuguese. I am a Portuguese who came back from the Far East."
"To hell with those damn rules! It doesn't matter, dear, as long as you want, I can use these little knowledge to kill time with you..."
