Chapter 201: The embarrassment of the German government

Berlin, Germany

Colonel Hans and another German ** officer, who had been returning from China for some time, stood on the famous waterfront pier, and they were standing next to the pier and staring into the distance.

Colonel Hans today wore a crisp army uniform, his boots were polished, and he stood still under a ginkgo tree looking at the sea, and the characteristic Germanic composure was vividly reflected in his body. Another German officer, who was also wearing an army uniform, was walking back and forth a little restlessly.

"Hans, can you be sure that those Huaxia people will arrive at nine o'clock? You must know that it is already 8:58 in the morning" The officer had a typical Germanic appearance, tall and thin, with blue eyes, golden hair, and a cold and handsome appearance.

Hans turned his head to the officer with a slightly reproachful look and said, "John, we can't expect a freighter that has sailed more than 13,000 kilometers to reach its destination in seconds. Because it's something that only God can do. It is a great pleasure and a great thing that they were able to get to Germany safely from the storm on the sea. ”

"But judging by the telegram they sent last night, that's what they said, isn't it?" The officer, John, said with some disbelief.

Hans sighed softly and stared at John for a while before he said slowly: "John, I know that you have always looked down on these Chinese people, but I want to tell you that what you usually hear with your ears or even what you see in books may not be the truth of the matter. You haven't been to that ancient and mysterious country, so what you know about them now is still stuck in the Manchu era with a big braid. ”

Hanston paused and then continued: "But Hans, I want to tell you, you are wrong, society is developing rapidly, and the same is true of the Chinese people. I used to go to the Siberian battlefield with the same idea as you, but after arriving in Siberia, I found that the Chinese people were completely different from what we usually heard and talked about in Germany. ”

John said in a slightly sarcastic tone, "What's the difference, my dear Colonel Hans, are they going to fly all of a sudden?? ”

"Johann," exclaimed Hans, "I don't know why you are so prejudiced against the Chinese, but I will tell you that the Chinese soldiers I have seen in Siberia are no worse than the soldiers of our German Empire, and in some respects they can be said to be better than us. They are industrious, brave and resilient, possessing all the qualities of a good soldier, and you should not look at them with such colored glasses, and I will certainly tell the Führer if your disrespectful attitude leads to a change in the cooperation between our government and the Chahar government. ”

Just as Colonel Hans was reprimanding his colleague, a long whistle was heard from the sea. The two of them saw that the long-awaited freighter had finally arrived.

It was only when the 6,000-ton ship, called the Steyr, docked at the dock that the two men stopped this unpleasant conversation.

After the ship docked safely, several soldiers wearing neat and straight Chahar Army uniforms slowly disembarked.

Zhou Zhen, a staff officer of the combat lieutenant colonel of the Chahar 1st Armored Division, and several officers just got off the ship when they saw two German ** officers waiting by the stairs.

Seeing Lieutenant Colonel Zhou Zhen get off the ship with several officers, Colonel Hans hurriedly greeted him. Hans took the lead in saluting (in Germany, the superiors salute the subordinates first), and Zhou Zhen hurriedly returned the salute.

Hans first smiled and said in stiff Chinese: "Hello guest from China, I am Hans, a colonel and staff officer of the German Imperial General Staff. Zmir, this is my colleague John. Olfgang. Feng. Lieutenant Colonel Goethe, please allow me to welcome you on behalf of the General Staff of the German Empire. ”

"Thank you, Colonel Hans." Zhou Zhen said in German without humility or arrogance: "I am Zhou Zhen, a staff officer of the First Armored Division of the 37th Group Army under the Chahar of the Chinese National Government, please allow me to introduce my colleague to you, this is Captain Cheng Kai of the Second Armored Division of the 37th Group Army, this is Second Lieutenant Fan Bingbing, and this is Major Liu Weiming of the Special Reconnaissance Brigade."

Zhou Zhen greeted Colonel Hans and Lieutenant Colonel John one by one, and this Lieutenant Colonel John's performance at this time also seemed decent, but the careful Zhou Zhen could still see a trace of arrogance in his eyes.

At this time, a group of German soldiers came down from the dock, and they supervised the workers on the dock to quickly unload the large iron cabinets from the 'Steyr'.

The efficiency of the Germans was really not overwhelming, and in less than half an hour, dozens of heavy iron cabinets were loaded onto large special flatbed trucks and transported.

Seeing that the goods had been transported, Colonel Hans smiled and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, inviting Zhou Zhen and them to get into the two Mercedes Benzes that were slowly driving from the side.

Zhou Zhen shook his head with a smile and turned his head to the side, when three vehicles with strange shapes for this era drove out from behind them.

Zhou Zhen smiled and pointed to a car and said, "Colonel Hans, here are two cars from our Commander Su to your Excellency the Führer, and the remaining one is a gift from our Commander Su to thank you for your unremitting efforts and outstanding contributions to the friendship between China and Germany." ”

"Oh thank you, it's so beautiful, I like it very much," Colonel Hans looked at in surprise at the very stylish car in front of him. Yes, this is the Chahar military's unique four-wheel drive jeep, Colonel Hans used to ride in Chahar, when he was impressed by the excellent off-road performance and powerful horsepower of this jeep, and now he can own such a car, the surprise should not come too suddenly

Everyone walked up to the three new cars, and Colonel Hans asked, "Colonel Zhou, can I drive it now?" ”

Zhou Zhen smiled: "Of course, it's already yours." After speaking, he took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and gave them to Colonel Hans and Fan Bingbing and Cheng Kai next to him.

Colonel Hans took the keys and got into the car and quickly lit the fire, listening to the calm and powerful sound of the engine, Hans couldn't help but say happily: "That's it, Colonel Zhou, let me tell you the truth, since I last saw this car in Siberia, I have always wanted to own such a car, and now my dream has finally come true." ”

At this time, Lieutenant Colonel John, who had been standing next to him and did not speak, saw this scene in his eyes, and a trace of strange color flashed in his sky blue eyes.

With the powerful roar of the jeep, the group quickly left the dock and drove in the direction of the city center.

After a few cars sped away, two figures came downstairs from a big tree near the dock, one of them stared at the direction of the convoy until he lost their figures, and then turned his head and ordered: "Xiao Chuan-kun, immediately send a report to the base camp when you go back, the Chahar government has sent four officers to Germany, accompanied by thirty large iron cabinets and three small cars called jeeps produced by Chahar. The purpose of their trip is unknown, and we are in the process of following up on observation."

Chita, Siberia

Su Tong and Bai Chongxi were slowly sipping tea in the office.

"Well, good tea" Bai Chongxi couldn't help but praise after taking a sip of tea: "The color is clear and bright, and the aftertaste is strong and mellow, which makes people taste delicious, and it is a good tea."

Su Tong looked at the deputy chief of staff who always came to him to fight the autumn breeze and said angrily: "Okay, my deputy chief of staff, this is the best 'Lu'an Gua Pian', my father-in-law specially brought it to me, I haven't drunk a few sips yet, don't drink it all for me." ”

Bai Chongxi laughed: "Okay Jianming, I don't know you yet, in fact, the most suitable for you should be the big bowl of tea with three coppers in a bowl, what do you call tea, it should be called cow drink." Such a good tea is only called a tyrannical thing for you to drink."

After the two laughed for a while, Bai Chongxi got to the point: "Jianming, you said that this time Hitler sent a telegram and asked us to send several officers of the armored forces to teach them the theory of armored assault, which I can understand, after all, the actual combat experience of our current armored forces can be said to be at the forefront of the world." But why did he urgently ask us for another 30 'Northwest Tiger' tanks? According to the last agreement, didn't they take all the information of the 'Northwest Tigers'? ”

Su Tong smiled mysteriously when he heard this, and said, "Of course, there is a reason for this, because they can't make the heart of the 'Northwest Tiger' yet."

Yes, Hitler was angry now during this time. The boss is angry, and the consequences are serious.

Since the last time Colonel Hans brought back to Germany all the manufacturing techniques of the 'Northwest Tiger' tank and the three-tael real tank, German experts were ecstatic. They immediately began experimenting, and in the course of the experiment, they commented that this tank was: a tank that has never appeared in my dreams at this time, it is an epoch-making change, and we can't believe that there is such a perfect thing in the world. It's got a lot of firepower, a lot of speed, perfect protection, and with it, all the designs we used to have could be thrown into the trash.

Hitler was overjoyed and quickly ordered the start of trial production of this tank, but after the trial production, problems arose, and those scientists were embarrassed to find that a key thing made in their factory did not meet the requirements on the drawings.
