readx;?“ By the way, Goering's visit to China this time did not mean to find out, and I thought that we should organize a huge military parade so that the Germans could witness the majesty and majesty of our Chinese army. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Zhang Xinghan said.

Zhou Gong pondered for a while and nodded in agreement: "I think we can do one, so that the Germans can observe the heroic posture of our army, which is well-equipped, and it will be beneficial and harmless to the alliance between our two countries." ”

"Refer to the troops, just select them by the garrison of Nanjing City, and the specific matters will be personally taken care of by Zhou Gong later." Zhang Xinghan thought for a while.

Zhou Gong hesitated a little and said: "General Zhang, I am the vice president of the Executive Yuan, is it a little inappropriate to mobilize troops to participate in the review?" Do you think you should pick out the right person from the Military Commission to handle this matter? ”

Zhang Xinghan immediately waved his hand and said: "Zhou Gong, don't shirk, you are more reassuring than anyone else, this matter is related to our military prestige and national prestige, it is not a trivial matter, you can work harder, and those who can work hard."

I'll say hello to the city defense headquarters and the commanders of the garrison units when I get back. ”

Zhou Gong smiled bitterly and nodded: "Okay, then I'll do it for you." ”

At Wusongkou, Shanghai, a large oil tanker flying the German flag slowly sailed into the Yangtze River.

Behind it, followed by two military gunboats of about 1,000 tonnage of the Chinese Navy, two medium gunboats belonging to the Chinese Navy's Third Fleet, which had been ordered to follow and protect the German tanker as it entered China's territorial waters in the South Pacific.

Escorted by two gunboats, the German tanker passed through the Jiangyin fortress and other important defensive points on the Yangtze River unimpeded, and arrived at the Xiaguan wharf in Nanjing.

…………

"Yes, Goering and his entourage did not come to Nanjing by plane from Taiwan, but came directly on their oil tanker.

Shen Honglie sent two gunboats and a submarine to escort him in the open and in the dark.

Now Goering's tanker has arrived at the Shimonoseki terminal. Zhou Gong hurriedly walked to Zhang Xinghan and reported.

"Didn't fly?" Zhang Xinghan said with some surprise: "Then Goering, this old boy is a bit interesting, who did you arrange to meet him?" ”

"Han Fuqu, director of the Water Resources Bureau of the Executive Yuan, member of the committee." Zhou Gongdao: "He should have waited at Dajiaochang Airport by now." ”

Zhang Xinghan instructed: "Send someone to inform Han Fuqu immediately, and immediately drive to Xiaguan Wharf to greet Goering and his party." ”

"I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to do this." Zhou is fair.

"It's fine. Let Goering and the others have a good look at the beautiful scenery of our vast Yangtze River. Zhang Xinghan said with a smile.

………………

At Shimonoseki Wharf, the German-flagged tanker has docked and anchored.

But no one came down from the ship.

Two Chinese gunboats were also parked not far away.

On the first deck of the second floor of the tanker, Goering, dressed in a suit and wearing sunglasses, was looking at the bustling Shimonoseki wharf in front of him with a dark face.

"Why haven't the Chinese come to greet us yet?" Behind Goering, a German in his thirties, complained in a low voice.

He didn't notice that Goering's face was even more ugly.

A short time later, a team of heavily armed Chinese soldiers suddenly appeared on the dock and alerted the busy dock.

The busy dock porters were all kept aside, clearing a wide road.

Seeing this, Goering's face softened slightly, and the German behind him said dissatisfiedly: "The Chinese are finally here." It is simply hateful to treat our great German mission with such rudeness. ”

"Shut up." Goering snorted impatiently.

The middle-aged German was immediately frightened and silent.

Han Fuqu felt very honored and excited today, because the depression of being transferred to the Water Conservancy Bureau of the Executive Yuan, a department with no real power, was swept away.

The reception of foreign missions, especially Germany, which is about to form an alliance, not only means that Zhang Xinghan has signs of reusing him, but also has the opportunity to establish relations with the visiting German high-level.

If you can get on good terms with the Germans, it may be of great help in the future.

So. When Han Fuqu received this task, he accepted it without hesitation, and rushed to Dajiaochang Airport with the guards arranged above early in the morning to wait.

However, what made him depressed was that. Half an hour earlier, he had suddenly received a notice that the German mission was no longer at the airport and that he was to be greeted at the Shimonoseki pier immediately.

Although the mood is more depressed. But soon this unpleasantness was replaced by the imminent meeting of the German mission.

After the guards completed the guard, Han Fuqu got out of the car with his adjutant, and walked straight along the road where the temporary guard came out towards the oil tanker that Goering was riding.

Goering glanced at it. Turning his head, he said, "Let's go down, the Chinese are coming." ”

After saying that, he took the lead and walked down.

A few minutes later, the two sides met on the edge of the pier.

"Hello, I am a member of the Executive Yuan of the Republic of China and Minister of Water Resources, and on behalf of my government, I would like to welcome the arrival of friendly missions!" Han Fuqu stretched out his hand with a modest smile.

After listening to the accompanying interpreter translate what Han Fuqu said, Goering's brows couldn't help frowning, he was now the commander-in-chief of the Luftwaffe, with the rank of general of the air force, and he was only one step away from the marshal.

And in the German Nazi Party, the position was second only to that of their great Führer Hitler.

With such a status, it is appropriate for the Chinese government to at least send a vice chairman-level figure to greet it, right?

Even before arriving in China, Göring always believed that his arrival, the new chairman of the Nationalist Government, the brightest war star in Asia in recent years, would be greeted by Zhang Xinghan in person.

But he didn't expect that he was greeted by only a minister of water resources without any real power, which really made the arrogant Goering angry.

Therefore, he turned a blind eye to Han Fuqu's outstretched hand, and snorted coldly: "Minister Han, we have already come to the dock, why should we wait so long?" Is this a sign of contempt for our German Empire? ”

Han Fuqu saw that Goering, who was wearing sunglasses, had a dark face, did not shake hands with him, and said a lot of words in German that he did not understand at all.

He looked blankly at the people behind Goering, and one of the adjutants translated it in Chinese.

After listening, Han Fuqu's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly explained: "General Goering, don't misunderstand, I thought you were coming by plane. So I arrived at the airport early in the morning to wait, so I came late. ”

Han Fuqu didn't know that Goering disliked his low status and was not worthy of welcoming him at all, so he hurriedly explained with a smile.

After the adjutant translated for Goering, Goering's face really didn't get any better, and he still said with a grim face: "I want to see your chairman and ask Minister Han to lead the way." ”

"Okay, Your Excellency General, please come with me." Han Fuqu hurriedly said. I wondered for a while, how can this German be so virtuous, damn it, Lao Tzu still expects to have a relationship with you, but I didn't expect that all of them are rude goods that are difficult to serve.

After scolding the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of Goering and his party in his heart, Han Fuqu led them into the prepared car.

Under the escort of a large number of guards, he drove towards the city of Nanjing.

…………

"Oh, Marshal Goering, hello, welcome to China. It's a pleasure to meet you, your heroic performance in the First World War is very admirable. "Half an hour later, at the gates of the military council. Zhang Xinghan led Jiang Baili, Zhou Gong and a large group of military and political dignitaries to say cordially to the black-faced Goering.

Seeing that Zhang Xinghan was so enthusiastic about himself, and there was a lot of respect in his words, Goering's bad mood was slightly better, and he reluctantly smiled and shook hands with Zhang Xinghan and said, "Chairman Zhang has won the award." You are the most remarkable and invincible god of war in recent years, and Hitler, the leader of our great German Empire, specially asked me to greet you on his behalf before I left. ”

"Thank you, thank you. I would like to have a cup of tea and a chat with Mr. Hitler when I have the opportunity. Zhang Xinghan smiled heartily.

Goering, who was born in the military, admired Zhang Xinghan's personality and attitude, and the unhappiness caused by Han Fuqu's greeting of him also passed quietly inadvertently.

………………

Göring's arrival officially laid a solid foundation for the Sino-German alliance, and the two countries began an unprecedented mutually beneficial cooperation.

After consulting Hitler, Göring signed a series of declarations of cooperation between Germany and the Chinese government on behalf of Germany.

The areas covered by this cooperation include hydropower, transportation, education, and comprehensive cooperation in light and heavy industry and military industry.

The Germans have contributed technology and talents to help the Chinese government to carry out all-round development, so as to enable China to get rid of its status as a poor agricultural country and become a new industrial country as soon as possible.

In return, China will need to provide Germany with all the resources it needs, such as steel, coal, and various other metals.

Of course, there was a strategic discussion between the two countries on how to smoothly put these cooperation into action without being disrupted by a third country.

In the end, it was decided that before war broke out between China and Germany with the colonial powers such as Britain, the United States and France, the transportation of technical resources and talents of both sides would be transported by the navy.

If the strategic landscape changes, then the two sides must find a way to connect the Eurasian continent.

This decision was naturally driven by Hitler and Goering's ambition to dominate Europe, which had been inflated by the rapid growth of their national power.

In order to dominate Europe, in addition to defeating Britain and France, there is another powerful giant that needs to be defeated, and that is the Soviet Union.

Therefore, the so-called opening of the communication line of the Eurasian continent is to attack the polar bears between China and Germany from the east and west to achieve a successful rendezvous.

As a traverser, Zhang Xinghan gave Goering some prescient advice before he left, that is, the Germans must avoid fighting on two fronts.

It is best to unite with the Chinese army to complete the grand goal of opening up the lines of communication in Eurasia and realize the division on land.

Then they united with other European allies to go to war with Britain, the United States, France, Japan and other countries.

The Chinese army would then send an expeditionary force across Southeast Asia and engage Britain and the United States in a decisive battle in the Pacific, before entering the Strait of Malacca and the Indian Ocean.

An expeditionary force will also be sent on land to fight in tandem with the Germans. (To be continued......)
