"The changes in China are really great, and in just two years, it has brought such a big shock." When the German Foreign Minister and Ebbentrop, Hitler's spokesman for his visit to China, landed on a Wehrmacht T-35 transport plane at the bustling and noisy Hanking Airport, the members of the negotiating group who had come to China for the first time could not help but be stunned, and even Ribbentrop himself was surprised.

"This, this airport is too prosperous, too big......"

The entire German delegation set off from Europe, passed through Ukraine, which was firmly occupied by the German army, and flew over a piece of Soviet occupation zone, and after landing in Central Asia, it boarded the military's T-35 medium/long-range transport plane.

Of course, these military equipment are easy to see in the materials and spy photos, and the accompanying military personnel and representatives who have not been to the Chinese are only more surprised, and the insiders look at the doorway, and the delegates are more shocked by the superb manufacturing technology inside the transport plane and the strong surname when flying after getting on the plane.

Although the Wehrmacht did not send larger, more comfortable planes to transport the guests, they did arrange seats and blankets, and the transport planes were much colder than those of passenger planes. However, when the plane slowly landed at Hanjing Airport, everything that surprised most of the delegation once again shocked the majority of the delegation.

Of the entire delegation, only Ribbentrop and one interpreter, one of the Führer's adjutants had been to China, and the others had come to China for the first time. It is worth mentioning that Hitler was suspicious, and seven of the German delegations to China in 1942 and 1944 were killed by him during these years, and most of the others lost important positions.

Unlike passenger planes, the transport plane descends rapidly at a large oblique angle when it lands, causing the officials who were accustomed to enjoying themselves in Germany to sweat.

Looking out of the porthole, the airport is ten times larger than Berlin's largest airport, and you can see from the air that the ground airport has a full six runways.

Just as the negotiating team's plane landed, a large silver-white plane rose from the ground, although it was still a propeller aircraft, but it had a wide fuselage, and there were many small portholes on the plane, which made it easy to guess that it was a large Chinese passenger plane.

"Even the airliner is so luxurious......"

In the envious and complicated eyes of the visiting delegation, the entire airport took off one after another at an almost non-stop speed, and four planes took off and three planes landed during the entire descent process.

This frequency of take-off and landing, as a non-forward military airport, is already very scary.

"According to the intelligence statement, because there are too many planes and too wasteful storage, the Chinese have converted a large number of military transport planes into civil airliners, transporting materials in wartime, and acting as passenger planes in non-wartime, and it is said that their routes have reached every provincial capital in the country, which is their capital, and the airports and navigation here are so large. Now it seems that this is indeed the case. ”

One of the directors of the intelligence department with the regiment, Colonel Feng of aristocratic background. Royce sighed.

"The war potential of the Chinese is too terrifying."

In fact, what the Germans don't know is that half of these planes are passenger planes, and most of the other are transport planes, with the development of the national economy, expensive and fast transportation is becoming more and more popular, the simplest example, the northwest wants to eat seafood, it can only be transported from the south, and some high-precision equipment urgently needed in the southeast can be quickly airlifted from the southwest.

China's transport aircraft production capacity has already reached a terrifying level, much stronger than the Americans, but China does not have to undertake the global supply tasks of the Axis countries at all, and if it cannot sell what it produces, it will be used for its own use, and the Germans cannot buy such a strategic-level transport aircraft, so they can only use it domestically.

The problem is that the battle damage rate is too low, not to mention crashing on its own or the losses are even more incalculable. The drawings were originally issued by the Science and Technology Committee, and after the secondary design of China's unique computer, and then the repeated testing of large and super-large wind tunnel groups, from the T-30 large transport aircraft to the present, a full 16 years have passed, and the production and research and development system can be said to be very mature. On the other hand, the Americans, whose planes are in the best condition in other countries, have to drop or scrap tens of thousands of planes a year due to various breakdowns.

This is the exact number, and in the history in which Zhang Shusheng was originally located, this loss figure is even more terrifying.

As a result, just as too many fighter planes were produced and distributed to aviation clubs in various places as training aircraft, it was also easy for transport planes to be turned into passenger planes or civilian transport planes on a large scale. Moreover, even so, there are only more than 1,000 large aircraft in the opening of major provincial routes in China.

Soon, the negotiation team got off the plane, and a ferry bus was parked on the wide tarmac, and next to it stood the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic, Vice Foreign Minister Ou Yangming led a team to the airport to greet him.

The courtesy car of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not enter the airport, and everyone arrived at the terminal from the ferrybus, and the modern design of the terminal shocked the Germans, including Ribbentrop, again, with all kinds of complex designs, although not luxurious but very practical decoration and decoration, so that the whole terminal is full of a very modern atmosphere.

"God, how could the Chinese think of building such a building?"

In the minds of some Germans, shouldn't the airport be surrounded by a fence and then board directly on the tarmac? The modern terminal in front of you is relatively new.

The terminal of Hanching Airport has been fully completed for more than a year, in order to meet the growing demand for domestic aviation, and as the world's largest international metropolis, Hanking also needs something to show its strength and international status.

Today's Hanjing, it is no exaggeration to say that it is no different from the Yanjing in the seventies and eighties in Zhang Shusheng's memory, and many urban designs and architectural styles even surpass.

Leaving the terminal, Ribbentrop was about to board the bus and leave, only to find that there was a special passage at the exit of the airport, which was spacious, and it was also marked as 'Airport Light Rail'.

He held back the doubts in his heart, and with his identity, he naturally couldn't be curious like a child.

On the courtesy car, a new Zhonghua brand car, streamlined design made the Germans dizzy, the German elites who had seen all kinds of Chinese cars from pictures and news reports were still shocked, think about those classic cars on the streets of Berlin, the so-called national cars, and then look at the black and shiny streamlined grand car of the Chinese in front of them, the Germans were hit again.

The convoy departed, and soon Ribbentrop understood the meaning of the 'Airport Light S-Rail' marked on the passage.

When I left the airport, I could see a railroad track stretching out in the direction of the distant city, and a roaring electrified train was leaving the airport station and slowly heading towards the outskirts of the city more than 20 kilometers away.

In today's world, airports are not too far from the city, even in Germany, but this time, the Germans saw a different China again, and their convoy overtook two airport light rail trains, and after ten minutes they saw the outskirts of the city. Ribbentrop's eyes were out the window, the wide, straight road stretching out into the city, and the car was moving at least several times faster than a vintage German car on the dilapidated streets of Berlin.

Smooth, odorless, fast ...... Before entering the city, the Germans saw the high-rise buildings, although the Americans have the world's tallest buildings, but in fact there are not too many high-rise buildings.

As soon as you enter the city, you will see bustling streets, very wide multi-lane roads, and a constant stream of cars entering and leaving the city, of course, mainly trucks here.

The buildings on the side of the road are all six storeys or higher, and there are many shops on the street.

Gradually, the convoy entered the bustling downtown area, and this time, Ribbentrop could no longer hold back and said to Ou Yangming, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic beside him, "Mr. Ouyang, the changes here are too great. When I came in 1942 and 1944, I thought it was incredible, and now I think Hankyung is the world's largest metropolis. ”

Entering his eyes is Hanjing Avenue, which runs through the entire main city, and the street is more than 100 meters wide, which directly makes a car of Germans who have not been to China dumbfounded.

The wide streets, the endless flow of cars, the motorcycles on the semi-motorized lanes, the bicycles on the non-motorized lanes, and of course the dense crowds of pedestrians, the countless shops on the streets, the buses on the streets are completely different from those of two years ago, at least the appearance is more open, plastered with all kinds of advertisements, and Ribbentrop even looked up to see a very special electronic display screen playing the advertisement...... "There are a lot of high-rise ......"

This time it was the turn of the other Germans to continue to marvel, when Ribbentrop came to Hanjing in 1944 to coordinate the Pacific War, the whole Hanjing was already very developed and prosperous, but at that time, there were not as many high-rise buildings as there are now, the streets are not as beautiful and atmospheric as they are now, and the business is not as developed as it is now, but it is only two years.

As far as the eye can see, there are no buildings on both sides of the street in front of you that are less than seven floors, and the highest ones even have dozens of floors, and such high-rise buildings can be seen a lot at a glance, stretching out into the distance along both sides of Hanjing Avenue.

"The chairman of the committee is strict in governing the country and is economic, but the development of the economy and the expansion of the city have brought about inevitable results, these buildings were not there two years ago, or only a few, but our building speed has reached five days and one floor."

Ou Yangming pointed to a ten-story building under construction in the distance, on which a very tall machine was working, quickly lifting the building materials that would have been very difficult to lift.

Germany has a similar machine, but it is far less massive and flexible than it is in front of it. There are three such construction machines on the entire construction site.

At that moment, Ribbentrop, who was originally full of confidence in this trip and thought that the Chinese would definitely agree to his request, was unprecedentedly uncertain, and visited China three times, and this time he was most apprehensive. The details are true, and he has learned a lot from this maturing international metropolis.

China is far more powerful than the Germans imagined.

China is far more powerful than Hitler imagined.
