According to the original plan, Chen Tian and his entourage will stay in Nanjing for a short period of 48 hours, and in addition to visiting some famous scenic spots such as the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and the Ming Tomb of filial piety, they will also prepare for a high-level formal meeting with the top level of the Nationalist Government.

The meeting place was arranged in the former Tianwang Mansion and the Liangjiang Governor's Yamen, which was also the place where Sun Yat-sen was inaugurated as the provisional president and later worked, and now it has become the seat of the Nanjing government and the daily office of Lao Chiang, but it is not called the "Presidential Palace" now, and the sign in front of the gate reads "Republic of China, National Government".

On December 2, 1929, the Kaiser and his entourage drove into the government compound in the heart of the city, and there was no shortage of heads of state among the previous visitors, but when it came to national and personal influence, there was no doubt that today was the most important visit.

The compound was already a heavily guarded area, but many security personnel still protected Chentian from the car for no other reason, this is the capital of China, and it is also a place where Japanese espionage is quite rampant. Although the Kaiser kept his visit as low-key as possible, the Japanese government was already in action, and it is said that they had prepared more than a dozen assassination plans for the "number one enemy".

Seeing Chentian's arrival, the officials of the Nanjing government greeted him warmly, but the cold face of Chentian made the hot faces of the hosts stick to their cold butts. The reason for this is because last night from the northeast front came a very bad news - Tonghua, this border city across the Yalu River and North Korea has no natural dangers that cannot be crossed or a huge fortress that is painstakingly managed, and there are only more than 10,000 remnants of the Japanese army stationed here, and the Chinese army that launched an attack from the west and north has as many as 7 divisions, and the siege lasted for four days but there was still no progress, and on the night of December 1, the Japanese army defending the city suddenly launched a counterattack, It was not surprising that such a field battle actually led to the rout of the Chinese army besieging the city, and according to the reports of German military observers on the front line, the fundamental reason for this rout was that the officers and soldiers of the Chinese division were already packing up and preparing for a "triumphant"!

Thereupon. Chen Tian summoned the accompanying officer corps overnight to study, and the various news from the front soon confirmed his suspicion that the Chinese offensive had been artificially delayed, and if nothing else, the commanders of most of the elite units had been secretly informed that they were ready to be transferred back to the mainland.

At this time, the strategic map of the region showed that the war aimed at recovering northeastern China had been completed by 90 percent, and the main forces of the invincible Kwantung Army were now reduced to the east and north of Heilongjiang, which bordered Russia, and they could only get limited supplies from the country through a few ports such as Vladivostok.

Although it is not 100% sure of the true intentions of the Chinese government, Chen Tian is not happy.

The long-lasting applause brought Chen Tian back to reality from his thoughts. At this time, he was in a large conference room that could accommodate 100 people, and it is said that it was also an important place for the Nanjing government to hold important domestic and international conferences. Enthusiastically applauding were dozens of people wearing two kinds of clothes - those who were naturally high-level generals of the Chinese side in yellow-green military uniforms, the golden stars were a little dazzling, and those in Mao suits had seen them on TV, presumably government officials with extraordinary status, they were either combing their big slippery backs, or wearing typical middle points, and without exception there was a blue sky and white sun medal pinned to their chests, and it was difficult to see their rank from their clothes alone. But Chen Tian didn't have much interest in knowing who they were.

Look at the scene in front of you. Chen Tian was a little puzzled, could this be a high-level bilateral meeting? How does it look like a grand presentation?

Next, the host of the meeting. The current chairman of the Nationalist Government, the bald-headed old Chiang, made a lengthy speech in which he collected all the flowery rhetoric used to compliment, praise, and praise, and if he had not prepared in advance, the poor translator would have rolled his eyes.

After the speech, Lao Jiang warmly invited Chen Tian to go up and say a few words, but Chen Tian did not refuse. After his gaze swept over the entire conference room, he did not use the "foreign tone" he had deliberately prepared, but said in standard and aristocratic German:

"Honourable Chairman. Distinguished generals, distinguished gentlemen, I am very happy to be able to come to China, because this is a great country with 5,000 years of history and splendid ancient culture, the people here are kind and beautiful, and although they have had a very unpleasant life for almost a hundred years, they are awakening! There is no one, no force. Able to stop them from moving towards a civilized, modern, peaceful, democratic society! May the friendship between China and Germany last forever! Thank you! ”

Before finishing this one-off sentence, Chen Tian did not leave time for the translator in the middle as usual, so despite his rich translation experience, the Chinese translator on the side could only translate the general meaning.

After this, Chen Tian once again scanned the entire venue, except for a few people, almost everyone was applauding vigorously, including Lao Jiang.

Next, this large group of people quickly formed three rows of "human walls" on the side of the chairs placed in two rows as if they had trained many times, and Lao Jiang enthusiastically pulled Chen Tian to the center of the front row, Chen Tian understood that this was a Chinese-style meeting during the Republic of China.

Everyone in the photo has their own expressions, some are smiling, some are kind, but Chentian's face is a rare seriousness, outright seriousness. The ensuing meeting could be described as a fruitless meeting, and the Chinese side put forward a series of expected proposals, including shortening the term of the German military lease of Qingdao, increasing loans, and increasing bilateral cooperation, but the German delegation headed by Chen Tian resorted to the "Taiji Law" and did not give a clear answer to any of them all day.

At the banquet that night, Chen Tian shirked it for physical reasons, and left Nanjing early under the pretext of official business.

At 10 o'clock that night, Chentian's special plane arrived in Qingdao, which was also Chentian's first time in 19 years. However, at this moment, Chentian did not have the joy of revisiting the old place, he convened a temporary military meeting of the senior generals of the German Far East cluster overnight, and after listening to the reports of the generals, he put forward new requirements for the troops landing on the Korean Peninsula: suspend the southward movement and accelerate the northward movement!
