Chapter 216: Settle in

Zhangjiakou Railway Station was built in the late Qing Dynasty, before the governor of Su did not come, it was originally just a small and simple railway station, so simple that only two trains could be stopped at the same time.

After the governor of Su took office, he naturally resolutely banned this thing that affected the city's appearance, and then with a wave of his hand, a large railway station was built on the original site.

This morning the station was as lively as ever, on the platform of the station, tense and noisy. Those who get on the bus, those who get off the bus, those who send relatives and friends, long-distance passengers who get off the bus to move their muscles, and those who buy things, it is like a busy city.

Another train came in the distance, and as it gasped and stopped on the platform, a large group of blond, blue-eyed foreigners disembarked from the train, and as soon as they got off the train, they looked around at the strange city.

Mrs. Spoh held the child's hand tightly on one side, while she put her arm around her husband and looked around curiously.

"Is this Chahar? It's really hilarious. Spoh muttered as they were presented in a strange place. I saw a noise of selling snacks on the platform, and after seeing the crowd of people getting off the train, it continued to boil. The black tea eggs, the bright red braised pig's trotters, the brown bread, and the white hot buns continue to appear outside the car window, exuding an appetizing fragrance.

"Oh dear, I think it's pretty good here, at least in terms of food." Mrs. Spoh was sure, for she had smelled a strange but seductive scent tempting her appetite.

At this time, dozens of tables had been set up on the platform, and hundreds of government workers and students of Chahar University with a certain knowledge of foreign languages were waiting there, all of whom had been specially selected by the Chahar government to receive these Jews from all over Germany.

Some of these staff members speak German, some speak English, and some speak Russian, well, maybe the languages are a little more complicated, but that's okay, because the Jews live by the adage that if you know one more language, "you have one more way to go."

So, as long as you know a certain language in the West, you can almost find your soulmate in this group of people.

At that moment, the radio on the platform sounded, and the Hebrew word came out: "Greetings, ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to China, and allow me to welcome you on behalf of the Chahar Government, and to believe that your suffering is only temporary, and that there will be a new beginning here. It is also a place for you to start a new life.

Now please check your name at the staff on the platform and our staff will tell you where you should get on the train, there is a car waiting for you outside. ”

Listening to the long-lost mother tongue on the radio, the Jews couldn't help but feel a little moved in their hearts, and they all walked towards the nearest receptionist, and the Spohrs also walked to a table next to them.

"Hello, how can I help your mother," a staff member said with a smile to the Spohrs.

"Hello" My name is Spoh, Ibrahim, I am a mechanical engineer, where should I get on the bus? ”

The staff checked the catalog and nodded, "Well, it turned out to be Mr. Spoh and your family, your family should have five people, right?" Please make your debut at No. 1. "There's a car waiting for you there."

After the staff finished speaking, he wrote a few square words in the notebook that Spoh couldn't understand, tore them off and handed them to Spoh: "When you get to the No. 1 exit, you give this note to the driver outside, and he will know where to send you." ”

"Oh, thank you!"

"You're welcome, this is what I'm supposed to do." The staff replied with a smile.

The Spoogh family came to the number one debut. They saw dozens of Fiat 527s parked outside. At this time, a young man who looked like a driver came over and asked politely in German, "Please show me your note?" ”

"Oh! Good. ”

Spoh handed the note to the driver, who reached out and opened the door after reading it, and then helped the Spohs put their luggage in the back compartment.

The car started slowly, and Spoh asked curiously, "Sir, are you a driver for a government department?" ”

Lou is a student at Chahar University, my major is chemistry, German is my elective, and today I am here to volunteer. The driver in front replied with a smile.

"Oh, but I don't understand" We have just arrived, how can you receive us with such high etiquette?" Mrs. Spoh asked with some trepidation, Westerners, especially Jews, are convinced that there is no love in this world for no reason, and there is definitely another reason why the Chahar government has received them with such high standard of etiquette.

"Of course, not all of them will be treated like this." The driver laughed, "As far as I know, there are less than twenty families or individuals in your group who have received this kind of hospitality/And all of your family will have this kind of hospitality, as far as I know." That's because Mr. Spoh is an excellent engineer in tank building. Are you satisfied with this reason? ”

"I'm relieved!" Mrs. Spoh nodded, and he was proud of his husband. Look, my husband is so good, he just came to a new place, and the other party's government gave him such a generous treatment.

After a while, the car drove into a quiet area full of German flavor, and stopped in front of the door of a villa, which the Spohers liked at first sight. After opening the door and entering, the driver helped them put their luggage in and quickly said goodbye.

Looking at the elegant surroundings and the freshly decorated furniture, the Spohers' affection for the Chahar government deepened.

"My dear, it's a beautiful place, even in Germany we don't get such good treatment." Mrs. Spoh looked at the three children who were playing with each other in the living room, and said with some emotion.

"Mom, can I pick my own room?" At this time, the second daughter, Mary, ran over, raised her head and asked timidly.

"Absolutely, my little darling! This is our new home now, and we are going to start a new life here from now on. Mrs. Spoh leaned down and touched Mary's little head and smiled.

In an office of the Chahar government, Xi Hanqian, secretary general of the Chahar government, who is known as the chief steward of the Chahar government, was listening to a report by Director Zhang of the Personnel Department under him.

"As of yesterday, the first batch of 3,253 Jews to China has all been settled, and with the exception of a few dozen high-ranking scholars and engineers whom we urgently need at present, we have arranged the rest in temporary housing to wait for the completion of their work of their own choosing." Director Zhang only took a short time to complete the work report.

"Well, well, you remember to give every adult an identity card, and give them the same status and rights as a Chahar citizen. They are highly educated talents, and these talents are urgently needed by us, and their arrival will help alleviate our lack of talent. In a few days, more than 1,000 technicians, engineers, and experts from the United States will also arrive. After saying these words in one breath, Xi Hanqian took a breath, leaned back in the chair tiredly, and slowly closed his eyes to recuperate.

Director Zhang looked at Xi Hanqian's tired appearance, a trace of unbearable color flashed in his eyes, and he sighed secretly in his heart, Su was not there, and all the affairs of the government were pressed on Secretary Xi's body, he was really tired.

Director Zhang slowly retreated, gently closed the door and left.

Zhou Zhen and the other four people of the 37th Group Army Headquarters of Chahar were in the office like elementary school students, looking at the old man in front of them in awe. This old man who was looking at them with a smile was General Jiang Baili, chief of the general staff of the 37th Group Army, and Zhuge Liang, also known as the 37th Group Army.

Jiang Baili praised with a smile: "You have done a good job in this trip to Germany, which has greatly boosted the morale of our Chinese soldiers, and I will let the General Staff record your merits." ”

"Don't dare, it's a lowly thing." The four of them stood up and raised their heads and said in unison.

"Merit is merit, and we will go through it, and our 37th Group Army will never be confused, so you don't have to be modest." Jiang Baili Zhengse said: "Okay, you have a lot of things, I won't keep you, except for Liu Weiming, you all go back to the building!" Jiang Baili smiled lightly and waved his hand, and Zhou Zhen and the three of them went out first.

Jiang Baili looked at Liu Weiming for a while before asking: "Major Liu Weiming, your special reconnaissance brigade is directly under the command of the General Staff, and what you have to do is the work that the black tiger pulls out the heart and licks the blood at the tip of the knife, as the saying goes, and now I have a task to hand over to you, do you have the confidence to complete it?" ”

"Guaranteed to get the job done." Liu Weiming said loudly.

"Okay, come here!" Jiang Baili nodded with satisfaction, came to the wall and opened the curtain, revealing the large map of Huaxia inside.

"You see, our army in Siberia has formed a state of confrontation with the Russians, and due to the inconvenience of transportation conditions, our strength is far inferior to that of the other side. Therefore, now we are more defensive, not aggressive, and we will not have the strength to take the initiative to attack before the railway from Chahar to Siberia is built. When Jiang Baili said this, his face was a little unsightly.

"Now there are some people in China who say that we have forgotten the threat of the Japanese themselves, but they are leading hundreds of thousands of troops to fight to the death with the Russians, and they are using this to attack our military deployment, these are all!"

Speaking of this, Jiang Baili lost his temper rarely. This made Liu Weiming on the side secretly frightened, and it seemed that the newspaper was scribbling again.
