"Then the translator he hired for the newspaper stole his pocket watch, so he fired him. He was worried that the newspaper would retaliate against him, so he asked me to be his translator. I agreed to help him to the end, and that's how it happened."
When Jiang Tangtang was speaking, Liu Feng kept staring at her eyes, as if trying to find traces of pupil trembling.
But there was hope, and her eyes were determined. Apart from that, there was nothing else. Liu Feng nodded and lowered his head to write it down in his notebook.
While Liu Feng was taking notes, Director Deng Xian adjusted his black-framed glasses and started asking questions.
"I heard from the director of the Xishan factory that you seem to be very knowledgeable about mechanical manufacturing and your translations are very accurate. Can you explain this?"
You even have to ask this? Jiang Tangtang muttered, put her hands on her knees, and answered seriously.
"Yes, I've recently become very interested in mechanical manufacturing, which has earned me Mr. Spacey's trust. This week, I've learned a lot from him about this field and gained a lot."
"Oh? Could you elaborate on what you said?"
"Dang!"
"I learned about the principles of mechanical operation from books, and asked him about the efficiency of steam and gasoline power. Later, I asked him about some beautiful weapons of the Nationalist Army. I thought he would keep it secret, but he actually told me some."
When Deng Xian heard the words "military weapons", his pupils dilated and he was very surprised. In order to hide his expression, he adjusted his black-framed glasses again.
"What did you say?"
"He said their most advanced rifle is the M16A because engineers have improved the buffer. He also said their latest Tomcat fighter jet is equipped with an A-type radar to counter some bomber from the Eagle Country. I don't know the details..."
"AWG-9 radar! Boeing bomber!"
Deng Xian was a little excited when he heard it, and immediately stood up and answered excitedly.
"Yes, Director Deng is right. I think that's what you said. However, this is too advanced. I haven't fully understood it yet, so I didn't understand it clearly. I don't remember it very well."
"Mr. Spacey, he even told you all this. He trusts you too much, doesn't he?"
Deng Xian was very moved. Those foreigners didn't say a word in front of them except that they spent money. He didn't expect that they would explain so many details to a translator.
It's really strange.
"When he said it, I always felt that his tone was full of pride. He was simply showing off to me, not trusting me. Otherwise, he wouldn't tell me only half of it."
For Jiang Tangtang, these were not strange at all. After all, she coaxed him into telling her.
"Hey... you're right. You said these are only one tenth of the huge machinery and advanced guns. He still holds back on the key points. Otherwise, I wouldn't know this."
A secret that can be told is not a secret. Spacey is an engineer after all. No matter how careless he is, he would not dare to tell these secrets to a foreigner.
Deng Xian understood all of this.
"These foreigners can say this to a woman like you who understands mechanics. In fact, they think our country's technology is too backward. Even if they say it, we can't make it. In the end, we still have to rely on them!"
Lin Feng closed his notebook and became more and more angry as he spoke.
"Isn't it? They don't take us seriously at all, that's why they are so confident. Otherwise, why would they even mention the AWG-9 radar? Because they know that even if we knew this information, we can't build this radar. Alas... we are still behind..."
