The government had already received a notice from the German side that it was flying on a large seaplane, and originally thought that it would be about the same size as the American Martin M-130 "China Flying Scissors" at most, but it did not expect that it would be such a behemoth, which looked larger than the Boeing 314 that the United States ran the Honolulu Hong Kong route.

At first, there were still people in the national government who were somewhat unimpressed by the Germans' request to clean up the waterway, bullying the Chinese for not having seen seaplanes? When the national government was still in Nanjing, the air force built a seaplane airport in the Yangtze River section, and dozens of seaplanes of all kinds were bought, and I had never seen a seaplane that needed to empty the entire river when landing.

However, the situation is in the hands of the people, and the government only has to do it honestly, and some people said some bitter and strange things at that time, but looking back now, it is not that the Germans are making a big fuss, and they really have to do it.

The huge Viking seaplane engine roared, and in front of the citizens on both sides of the riverbank, it slowly turned the direction of the nose of the plane, and turned a U-shaped bend on the river in front of Chaotianmen.

Two small tugboats of the British Yangtze River Fleet slowly approached with black smoke in their mouths, grabbed the fuselage of the plane, one left and one right, and then pushed and pulled the huge seaplane towards the river bank.

The BV222 has its own inflatable dinghy on it, which of course is not needed on this occasion, and it is not always necessary for the dignified German Marshal to paddle ashore in a rubber boat in full view.

For this reason, the government had already prepared a beautiful British-made traffic boat, which was originally prepared by the navy for Jiang Zhongzheng, and fled all the way with the government from Nanjing to Wuhan, and then towed from Wuhan to Sichuan.

Two Chinese sailors dressed in snow-white naval uniforms, under the command of a naval major, steered the small boat carefully against the door of a German seaplane. The German crew had already opened the front hatch and lowered the boarding ladder, and the 62-year-old German marshal jumped onto the traffic boat with agility as everyone went up and down.

After loading a boatload of German officers, the transport boat turned around and headed for Chaotianmen Wharf. As the military band played cheerful and passionate music, the people on the shore also began to wave small flags and cheer loudly.

"March of Prussian Glory?" Hearing the familiar melody, Brumberg turned his face to Colonel Davidson behind him and smiled.

"You heard it right, Your Excellency Marshal." The colonel replied with a smile as well.

The steamboat slowly approached the riverbank, and several naval soldiers rushed forward, grabbed the cable thrown down from the ship, and put the wide gangplank on the side of the ship.

"Salute!" The major and sailors on the transport boat stood in the bow and saluted, Brumberg raised the marshal's staff and tapped the brim of his hat, and then strode off the gangplank, shining leather boots onto the ancient stone steps of Chaotianmen Pier.

Brumberg did not wait for his entourage, he walked up a few steps with steady steps, and walked towards the government's welcome procession where the military and political officials of the state government were gathered, and suddenly a shutter sounded on the dock, and the Chinese and foreign reporters present rushed to use their cameras to try to record this historic moment.

Jiang Zhongzheng tried his best to restrain his excitement at this moment, and he maintained a straight military posture and stood on the steps, with his usual serious and reserved expression on his face.

Guided by several Chinese officers who had stepped forward to guide him, Brumberg came to the welcoming procession, and the German marshal stopped and stood still, first glancing at everyone, and then walking straight in front of Chiang Zhongzheng.

Blumberg hit the heel of his boots, raised the marshal's staff to the brim of his hat, and saluted Jiang Zhongzheng, Jiang Zhongzheng raised his hand with a serious face and returned the military salute, and then stretched out his hand to Brumberg, when the two hands were tightly clasped together, cheers and applause broke out in an instant.

"Welcome to China, Your Excellency Marshal Blumberg, it's been a hard journey." Jiang Zhongzheng greeted in Chinese with a Zhejiang accent, and the attendant on the side hurriedly translated to Brummberg.

"Thank you very much, I have been looking forward to this meeting, Your Excellency, it is a great honor for me to meet such a great leader as you." Brumborg nodded.

He had long learned from the records of a group of members of the officer corps who had come to China's aid how to deal with the leader of the country, and that if you could satisfy his vanity at all times, everything would be easy.

Sure enough, hearing the compliment of the German marshal, Jiang Zhongzheng's face immediately showed a happy smile.

"It's really an award, Your Excellency Marshal, I have long admired your name, and when I saw the marshal's demeanor today, it really deserved its name." Jiang Zhongzheng said with a smile.

Jiang Zhongzheng did not let go of Brumberg's hand, but took the other party's hand and led the marshal to the front of the team, and introduced the marshal to the officials of the state who had come with him.

Because of the limited space in the local area, there are only a dozen people who are qualified to stand on the steps of Chaotianmen Wharf to greet them, all of whom are members of Jiang Zhongzheng's core team. After exchanging pleasantries with a group of military and political officials, Jiang Zhongzheng led Brumberg to climb up the pier, and the crowd of people welcoming him in the dockside alley continued to let out thunderous cheers.

"The Chinese people are so welcoming." Brumberg said loudly to the translator.

"The people will never hesitate to show their joy to the friendly countries that supported our war of resistance." Jiang Zhongzheng replied with a smile.

"I'm glad they think so, Your Excellency." Brumborg replied.

The marshal knew what kind of calculation the other side was fighting in such a move, and it was obvious that he wanted to use this means to drag Germany down the quagmire of the Asian theater. However, Blumberg was not worried about this at all, because he had already received an order from Berlin to visit Japan as soon as the mission here was completed, so the provocative methods that Chiang Zhongzheng was using now would not be of much use against Germany.

Zhongzheng Road was the most prosperous section of the road in Chongqing at that time, and countless citizens and students gathered on both sides of the street, waiting to see the honor of the German marshal.

Coming out of Chaotianmen, Jiang Zhongzheng and Brumberg got into a 32-year-old Ford convertible car, which was brought from Wuhan with great painstaking work, and the car was carefully maintained on weekdays, and the car was kept in very good condition.

Seeing the German marshal in a gorgeous uniform sitting next to Jiang Zhongzheng, the mood of welcoming the crowd began to rise. They had already learned from the newspapers and government announcements that the mission of the German field marshal's visit was to China for a friendly visit, which meant that the most powerful European hegemon in the world today had extended a friendly olive branch to China.

This was the most reassuring and encouraging news that the government had released in the months of fear, and most people believed that as long as Germany was on the side of China, as long as the government had the support of the Germans, the day when the Japanese would be driven out of China was just around the corner.

Germany has now defeated Britain and France, and the whole of Europe is following Germany's lead. The old people still have a vivid memory of the incident in which the Three Kingdoms forced Japan to return the Liaodong Peninsula, and they all said that they knelt down when the Three Kingdoms pressured the Japanese, and now there are only three countries under the wings of Germany, and if the Germans are willing to stand up for China, the Japanese can not only be obedient.

At that time, the idea of Chinese civilians was indeed very simple, they regarded the Germans as heroes who helped the strong and the weak, who would stand up for China, which was deeply humiliated, and stick a knife in both sides to maintain the safety of their friends.

So in the past few days, the favorability of Germans in the hearts of Chinese has risen like a blowout, and German-related dragon gate arrays have been set up everywhere in the tea houses on the streets.

The people of Sichuan put up the Longmen array, that is the official history and the wild history together, from the year of Gengzi to the Eight-Nation Alliance, to the First World War, anyway, if it does not make a shocking world, it will never be finished.

The German Führer was almost said to be a god-like figure, calling for wind and rain to pinch and calculate, lupine squatting in the tent of the Chinese army in Berlin, and the English home fleet was wiped out in the snap of a finger. Speaking of this Marshal Brumberg, it was a German veteran, who was a good man who killed seven in and seven out of the French with a three-foot Mauser gun, and became the commander-in-chief of the German three armies after the war, but because he married a fireworks woman, he finally became angry and became a red face, leaving behind the high-ranking officials Houlu who only envied the mandarin duck and not the immortal

At this time, people saw the legendary characters with their own eyes, and it was obvious that the rumors of the previous government had been confirmed, and the people who had been tortured by the enemy's bombing and war during this time finally saw the hope of defeating the invaders, so how could they calm down.

So the crowd erupted into euphoria, and the citizens shouted all kinds of slogans, even just unconsciously, and everyone seemed to want to express all the pain and humiliation they had suffered before in this moment.

Blumberg sat in the back seat of the car, and all this in front of him felt familiar to him, and if it weren't for the disparate buildings around him, he would have thought he was on the streets of Munich, accompanying Hitler to deliver his speeches.
