. At 20:00 on the evening of December 5, 1929, Qingdao Inner Port, Pier 2.

"His Majesty, the Emperor, we meet again, and it is in this far east!"

The speaker was dressed in black - a black top hat, a black tuxedo and a big black leather shoes. If it weren't for the bright lights around him, people might have left him in the dark, which would have been a huge loss for Germany.

On the red carpet, Chen Tian, ​​wearing a thick gray coat, took the initiative to stretch out his right hand, "Yes, Dr. Obert, it's great to see you again! You still look so energetic, how are you doing? Have you been doing well recently!"

"Your Majesty, thanks to your care, our research has achieved quite ideal results in the past two years!" The visitor took off his hat and bowed, revealing his dense hair and a mature and steady face. Few people know that this theorist and practitioner who has long been renowned in the German aviation industry is only 35 years old this year, but this did not prevent him from becoming a leader in German rocket technology.

"Haha! The country should have put science first, especially those that can benefit mankind! Doctor, the wind is strong on this pier, let's go to the car to talk!" After that, Chen Tian gently pulled Obert over and walked shoulder to shoulder with him towards the black sedan parked a few meters away, while Obert's assistant and Chen Tian's attendant consciously set a short distance away from them.

"I heard that you encountered a storm on the road. How are they doing? No surprises!" Chen Tian asked with concern.

Obert replied, "Well, our ship was bumping very hard at one point. Fortunately, we shipped the rocket's shell separately from the liquid fuel, but there was a little malfunction in the electronic circuit. We have solved most of it now, just conduct a detailed overhaul before installing and filling the fuel!"

Chen Tian nodded, "So as long as they are reassembled, they can be launched at any time?"

"Yes. Your Majesty! Just transport them to the launch site and determine the target, and the launch will be carried out within 24 hours!"

The two people walking quickly in the cold wind soon arrived in front of the car, and the attendant waiting there skillfully opened the car door for them.

The two of them gave in to each other, but Chen Tian got into the car first, and then Obert. After the car door was closed, Chen Tian couldn't wait to say:

"That's great! Doctor, this will be the first time in human history to use liquid rockets in actual combat. And we will be recorded in history for creating this amazing milestone!"

At this time, Obert was not very emotional, and he replied calmly:

"Yes, Your Majesty! Another new technology will be applied to war, which can be said to be the unchanging law of history!"

Hearing this, Chen Tian felt a little sad. As far as he knew, at present, whether in Germany or abroad, a considerable number of scientists disliked or even resisted war. They were especially unwilling to apply their research results to war. At the German rocket research base, Konstantin Ziorkovsky, a rocket theory expert from Russia, still refused to participate in any technical research. Robert Goddard from the United States was in a better situation. However, he also announced that he would only participate in research projects that were not related to war.

"Doctor, don't worry too much, the war will end soon! At that time, we will focus on the development of space rockets. In the near future, we will send instruments to space, followed by humans, and we will fly to the distant moon, Mars and even further away!"

When he heard Chen Tian’s words, Obert’s eyes lit up and his tone became much stronger. In fact, this was not the first time he heard Chen Tian say this. That time was at the RC Rocket Base in southeastern Germany. Chen Tian, ​​who came to inspect, expressed his views on rocket technology. That affirmative tone made Obert and other staff happy, because at that time, there were not many people in China who believed in these profound theories, and many people even thought that these Rocket experts were crazy.

This time, although he did not go crazy with joy again, Obert was greatly satisfied with his confidence - the emperor himself was unwavering in this, and is it necessary for others to continue to doubt?

"Your Majesty, your greatness lies not only in your military talent and personal charm, but also in your amazing vision!"

"Amazing vision... Haha. I just believe in theory and facts! Since it is indeed feasible in theory, it is only a matter of time left!" Chen Tian smiled and looked at Obert, then turned his eyes to the window. Amid the roar of the machine, a locomotive was slowly advancing along the rails next to the dock. A long train carriage was pulled behind, and the steel cranes at the high place were also moving slowly. This series of "slow motions" just reflected people's attention to this ship of cargo.

Just as Chen Tian looked out the window seriously, Obert hesitated and asked:

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for taking the liberty of our A17, do we need to be transported by train to a remote launch site?"

"No, I'm just transporting it to a safe warehouse for the time being, because we don't have a suitable launch location yet!"

Obert said "Oh" softly. Because it was a highly military secret, there were very few people who knew that this batch of goods was transported to the Far East, and there were not many people who knew that the entire plan was planned. As the technical director of this project, Obert only knew that his treasures would be used as ultra-long-range bombs. In addition to his own structure and liquid fuel for generating thrust, their special warheads were also filled with nearly 1 ton of tnts. When they rushed to the ground at a speed of more than 3,000 kilometers per hour, their power was no less than a small meteorite.

"With the range of the a17 and our combat target, I think it's not difficult for the doctor to guess our launch location!"

"Uh... Your Majesty!" Hearing Chen Tian's words, Obert hesitated for a moment, "If I were asked to choose, it would be somewhere on the southernmost part of the Korean Peninsula!"

"The answer is correct!" Chen Tian turned his head, "We are working hard to seize this suitable launch location and try to consolidate it as much as possible. It will take about a week to half a month. It depends on the development of the frontline situation, and it may not be necessary even if it is delayed until after Christmas! Therefore, we cannot let them stay in this harbor, which is the focus area of ​​attention of enemy spies and an important base for our ships to moor!"

"Yes, Christmas is coming!" Obert sighed thoughtfully.
Chapter completed!
