Chapter 39 Planning 20

A small passenger ship blew a dull whistle and slowly approached the shore.

After a while, a handsome and cute boy who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old whistled a light tune and jumped down the ladder of the passenger ship, his fair face filled with unconcealed excitement.

He was really excited. He never dreamed that he would have the honor to receive a handwritten letter from Dr. Einstein, inviting him to Germany. The envelope also included a ticket for a high-end suite on the passenger ship.

These days, he has been sorting out questions to ask Dr. Einstein, filling up five pages.

Just as the boy was looking through the map to find the next bus route, a figure walked up to him. "Are you Alan Mathison Turing?"

The boy raised his head suddenly and saw a sturdy man with a face full of flesh. A sense of fear rose in his heart. "You, who are you?"

"Ebel, you scared the little kid. You are Alan Mathison Turing, right? Dr. Einstein sent us to pick you up." With a moving voice, a beautiful young lady came around from behind the big man.

Seeing this beautiful lady say Dr. Einstein's name, Turing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He thought he had met a bad guy the first time he set foot on German soil. "I am."

On the way to the nearby airport, Ebel couldn't help but glance at the rearview mirror frequently. Looking at Turing who was looking at the scenery outside the window excitedly, he finally couldn't help but speak. "Who is this kid?" He really couldn't see what was so special about this kid that he actually troubled His Highness to send them to pick him up.

Anne shook her head. "I don't know. But since it's the person His Highness wants to see, he must be an important person."

They arrived at the airport, took a plane to Berlin, got off the plane and got in the car. When the car stopped, Turing was stunned. "Is this the palace?"

Anne smiled at him. "Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to see you."

"Huh? Not Dr. Einstein..." Turing didn't react for a moment. Wasn't it Dr. Einstein who asked him to come? How did he become the Crown Prince of Germany?

Annie said first. "See His Majesty first and then see Dr. Einstein." After that, she took the still confused Turing to Yannick's office. "Your Highness, Alan Mathison Turing is here."

Yannick, who had only seen Turing's middle-aged photos in the original time and space, couldn't help but complain in his heart. "Hehe, still a little kid." Of course he is still a little kid, and Turing is now two years younger than him.

It was the first time that Turing met a member of the royal family so closely, and he saluted with a nervous face. "Hello, respectful, respectful Crown Prince."

"Go out. I want to talk to him alone." Yannick also saw Turing's nervousness, walked over and patted his shoulder affectionately, indicating that he should relax. "Alan Mathison Turing, I won't beat around the bush with you. Dr. Einstein and I both think you are a good candidate. We hope that after you come here this time, you will not return to the UK. Stay in Germany to study and live, and serve Germany in the future."

Turing was shocked and quickly refused. "How is that possible? I am British, and I can only serve the British Empire..."

Yannick interrupted him impatiently. "Yes, yes, you want to serve the British Empire, but if the British Empire you want to serve knows that you are a homosexual, what will it do to you?"

Turing's young face instantly turned red, his eyes were full of shock, and he stuttered when he spoke. "You, how did you..."

"How do I know? Don't worry about it. You should think about what kind of inhuman torture you will suffer. If I remember correctly, Article 11 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act of 1885 of the British Empire is "serious indecency", right? (This law is aimed at physical contact between men, that is, to punish homosexuality) I guess you have read this law and thought about what kind of punishment you will receive? Will you go to jail? Or be put in a mental hospital? Or just castrate you?"

In the 1950s in Britain, tens of thousands of people were convicted of homosexuality, and 39-year-old Turing was one of them. Faced with the verdict of "either jail or chemical castration", Turing chose the latter.

The so-called chemical castration is the forced intake of artificially synthesized estrogen for a long time. The consequences include hormone imbalance, impotence, male breast development, etc. After nearly two years of estrogen injections, Turing admitted that he had become a person he didn't even recognize.

On June 7, 1954, Turing was found dead at home, suspected of suicide by taking poison. There was a bitten apple on the table (it is said that the Apple logo is to pay tribute to the half apple that Turing bit when he committed suicide - it was later confirmed that the rumor was not true). At this time, it was only 16 days away from his 42nd birthday.

It was not until 2009 that British Prime Minister Brown officially issued an apology to Turing to the people of the country under a petition signed by more than 30,000 people.

In 2012, on the 100th anniversary of Turing's birth, 10 celebrities, including physicist Stephen Hawking, wrote to Prime Minister Cameron, asking the British government to pardon Turing's so-called "crime" of "serious indecency".

In 2013, the Queen of England officially announced the pardon of Turing's "serious indecency".

This person who was treated unfairly by history finally waited for the day when he was evaluated fairly.

"In the eyes of the people around you, you will be a perverted, mentally ill, disgusting guy, and they will stay away from you. Because of you, your family will also suffer the same discrimination. They will be pointed at when they go out, and they will be unable to hold their heads up. They are He was originally kind and innocent, why should he be hurt like this for no reason? "

Turing covered his face with his hands and lowered his head deeply, tears overflowing along his fingers.

Yannick sighed and patted Turing's shoulder again. "If you feel you can bear this inhuman torture, you can go back."

"..." Turing was silent for a while but did not respond.

Yannick saw that there was something going on. After all, he was still a child, and his mental capacity was far less mature than that of an adult. Then he lowered his voice and slowly induced Turing, who was in a low mood. "Or you don't have to go back. Just do what I just said and choose to stay in Germany. You will not be harmed in any way."

Turing choked and shook his head. "But according to German law, no country in the world allows homosexuality to be legal."

Isn't this simple? "Yes, but don't forget my identity. I am the crown prince of Germany and the future emperor. I can pardon you. Not only amnesty, but as long as you make a big enough contribution to the empire, I can even change the code for you. Declaring homosexuality legal."

Turing raised his head suddenly and asked with tears in his eyes. "real?!"

Yannick assured with a serious look. "Of course, I am the future emperor of Germany, how can I break my promise?? In a few days I will send someone to bring your family to Germany, and I will ensure that they can live a life without worries about food and clothing. What else is important to you? "

A blush appeared on Turing's face and he whispered. "I have a good friend named Christopher."

Christopher, presumably Christopher Merka, the boy whom Turing fell in love with at first sight, was also a genius in mathematics and chemistry. Unfortunately, he drank the milk of a sick cow when he was a child and contracted tuberculosis. In 1930, he would belch. But maybe taking him over now and throwing him in the hospital for treatment might extend his life by a few years.

"No problem, I will invite them to Germany. Do you have any questions? If not, you can go see Dr. Einstein now. Miss Anne, who brought you here just now, will arrange accommodation and school for you. "At this point, Yannick remembered that Turing's personality was extremely introverted and his social skills were almost negative. "I think the school is no longer needed. I will arrange for teachers from each subject to teach you individually. Do you think this is better?"

After sending Turing away, Yannick couldn't help laughing. Fatty Qiu, you never dreamed that something like this would happen, right?
