Chapter 95: The Humorous Rommel

It is precisely because of the "life visa" issued by He Fengshan that many Jews have been able to escape from the sea of suffering and see the light of day again.

In the eyes of the Nazis, among the many foreign consul generals, only the Chinese consul general, He Fengshan, never bought it. To the Nazis' particular annoyance, Ho not only openly maintained dealings with the Jews, but also provided all the protection he could.

The Rosenberg family, manager of the Mobil Oil Company in Vienna, fled abroad under the personal escort of He Fengshan.

Early that morning, He Fengshan agreed to see Rosenberg off. Unexpectedly, on this day, all the Jews in Austria were suddenly placed under house arrest. Rosenberg called to suggest that He Fengshan did not have to come. He Fengshan, who has always kept his promise, still went on time despite the dangers.

As soon as he entered Rosenberg's house, He Fengshan found that the male owner had been taken away by the Nazis, and his family panicked. While he was talking, he broke into two Gestapo. He Fengshan did not move on the sofa and lit a cigarette.

He Fengshan questioned in fluent German:

"I am the Consul General of the Chinese Government in Vienna, please be respectful, I am performing diplomatic duties on behalf of the country. Mr. Rosenberg applied for a Chinese visa two days earlier, and China should protect his legitimate rights and interests.

I solemnly declare that I ask you to stop raiding your homes and release them as soon as possible, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences of affecting diplomatic relations. ”

He Fengshan negotiated with righteousness and strictness, and the Gestapo left in a daze. Subsequently, Mr. Rosenberg was released. In order to prevent accidents, He Fengshan personally escorted the family in the vehicle of the General Consulate General and fled Vienna.

Mr. Duolun, who now lives in Israel, talked about his life-saving benefactor, He Fengshan, with tears in his eyes, and he recalled:

"He Fengshan knew our family well, and he personally escorted me home and told us that as long as he was a diplomat, as long as he lived in our house, the Nazis would not dare to harm us. In order to protect us, since then, He Fengshan has often come to our house to sit and have a look. ”

Soon after, Dolun's brother was arrested, but fortunately, with the help of He Fengshan's personal Chinese visa, he was finally released, and in 1939, the two brothers left Vienna and came to Palestine.

Bernard was 6 years old at the time, and his father, Morris, was a clerk at a Vienna bank. When anti-Jewish atrocities broke out, Nazis broke into the door, ransacked the home, and sent Morris to the Dachau concentration camp.

His mother, Stela, sent it to the Nazi authorities for inspection with the Chinese visa she had just obtained, and her father was released, and then the family of three was transferred to Shanghai.

Claudia's parents, a Jewish woman who now lives in Canada, gave birth to her after arriving in Shanghai on a visa issued by He Fengshan.

She said that at that time, only Chinese diplomat He Fengshan dared to help them in the consulates of more than 50 Austrian countries, so she had special friendly feelings towards China.

Current Violinist of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra Heinz? Greenbert came to Shanghai with his parents in his early years, when he was only 6 years old. In Shanghai, he received musical enlightenment and learned to play the violin.

Many years later, the violinist was full of emotion when he talked about this past, and he was very grateful to He Fengshan for helping their family take refuge in Shanghai. He believes that his life and career are all due to Dr. Ho Fengshan's righteous deeds.

Ms. Claus of Canada recalled: When her husband was waiting in line outside the Chinese Consulate, he saw the consul general's car passing by the gate and threw the visa application form through the window. As a result, I was soon notified by phone and got a life-saving visa.

The parents of Singh, a well-known American billionaire and current secretary general of the World Jewish Congress, are also beneficiaries of Ho's charity.

With tears in his eyes, he excitedly said to the historian Saul:

"My parents' lives were saved by Dr. Ho Fung Shan, he is a true hero, and I must introduce him to people all over the world."

……

Rommel retracted his thoughts, smiled and said to Ambassador He Fengshan:

"It turned out to be Mr. He, the ambassador from China, myself, Rommel, the current governor of France, Mr. He, if you have any questions, just say hello."

He Fengshan came this time to buy weapons and equipment, and the amount of weapons and equipment to be sold by Germany this time is extremely large, which is rare in the past, and these arms can play a vital role in China's war of resistance.

However, before purchasing, it is necessary to ask about the quality of these weapons and equipment, after all, these weapons and equipment are all captured, in case the Germans take out those damaged weapons and equipment and sell them, if He Fengshan buys such weapons and equipment, it will not be a great dereliction of duty.

"Great Rommel general, I wonder what is the quality of these weapons and equipment that you sell? How old and new? ”

He Fengshan's two questions, and those of all those who participated in the auction, all pricked up their ears and were ready to listen to Rommel's explanation.

Rommel waved to Wald, the adjutant behind him, and Wald immediately understood, turned around and walked through the small door of the rostrum, and in a few moments, dozens of German soldiers came out of the small side door with some small arms.

Rifles were placed in long wooden boxes, and light and heavy machine guns were brought in directly, and these small arms were placed directly on the display stand next to the rostrum.

Rommel picked up a light machine gun, this light machine gun is MAC29, the black shiny barrel, the new shiny butt, no doubt not to say that this gun is brand new.

Rommel stroked the brand-new light machine gun and said to the crowd with a smile:

"Brand new, never fired, only once thrown to the ground by the romantic French."

The more than 300 people below were silent for half a minute, and then everyone seemed to understand the key, and then the entire conference hall was full of "haha" laughter, and Rommel's humor made everyone laugh to tears.

"Haha...... Laughed at me. ”

"What is black, this is super black!"

"General Rommel, you have such a great sense of humor."

This laughter almost didn't overturn the town hall, and when Rommel had enough of these laughs, he asked He Fengshan:

"Mr. He, the relationship between our Germany and your country has always been friendly, and your German mechanic is a symbol of Sino-German friendship.

Rommel's friendliness to He Fengshan made He Fengshan see hope, and he immediately said:

"Great general, the amount of weapons and equipment I need is very large, so I want to talk to you alone, is that okay?"

Rommel was about to discuss something with He Fengshan, and he immediately nodded and said:

"Please come with me, Mr. Ho."

Rommel invited He Fengshan to a small separate office, and asked Wald to send four heavily armed soldiers to stand guard at the door.

Rommel personally brewed a cup of coffee for He Fengshan and asked kindly:

"Mr. He, as far as I am concerned, I think China is a great country, and the Chinese nation is also a great nation, so if you have any requirements, just mention them, and I will try my best to meet your requirements."
