Chapter 448: Hindenburg's Drinking Party
,
Tu Qianjun thought that his trip to Germany did not attract attention, but in fact he was wrong. A large part of the reason why no one came to him yesterday to entertain him was that everyone went to the Parliament to hear Dr. Enrichhini's questioning.
But after the questioning, with the news of Dr. Enrichhini's return, everyone knew that Tu Qianjun had arrived in Berlin! Brüning, who had just finished the questioning, was exhausted, but his eyes lit up after learning the news that Tu Qianjun had arrived in Berlin!
In his opinion, Tu Qianjun's influence on the United States is extremely great! This can be seen from Tu Qianjun's actions in Manchuria and the reaction of the United States. You know, the United States is now pursuing isolationism.
However, a number of isolationist motions on Manchuria were passed in the Diet repeatedly, including interfering with the Japanese army's operations in Manchuria, investing in Manchuria by various industries, and cooperating in Manchuria to employ most of the workers...... and so on.
Even, through Enriksini, Brüning also knew that Tu Qianjun had a very good personal relationship with Roosevelt, the visiting governor of New York. And the motion for debt relief for Germany, the general also promised to propose to Roosevelt.
Now that the motion has been submitted to the US Congress, Brüning is extremely happy! He was one step closer to his thoughts.
And the members of the parliament pay attention to Tu Qianjun because of the rapid development of Manchuria now! British and American businessmen now received most of the projects in Manchuria, including cooperation in the construction of railways, ports, petroleum, chemicals, ...... Wait a minute!
All this made the German Junker aristocracy, who had fallen into an economic crisis, drool, and although Germany did not have much money to give loans to the Manchurian countries, it could still ask Manchuria for cooperation.
The arrival of Tu Qianjun gave hope to these merchants, and now Manchuria has become a gold rush for all countries! The construction of various new industries and the state loans granted by other countries have enabled Manchuria to enter the stage of development at an extremely high speed.
So early the next morning, Tu Qianjun had just returned to the hotel after completing routine training with his guards, and saw a large group of people waiting for him at the Adlon Kempinski Hotel where he was staying.
Among these people were Brüning's secretary, Juncker's butler, and the secretaries of major corporations. And these people also looked at Tu Qianjun in amazement, they didn't expect this young general to get up so early!
When they arrived, the hotel management told them that the guests had already gotten up very early. And went out with his guards, but where exactly they went. So these people could only wait for Tu Qianjun to come back in the hotel.
"Honorable General. Your Excellency the Prime Minister asked me to invite the general to his manor for a cocktail party......" Before the others could react, Brüning's secretary took the lead and walked up to Tu Qianjun and whispered.
The rest of the Junkers' housekeepers and secretaries of major companies couldn't help but be stunned, this action is too fast, right?! But they did not rush to the top, and the members of these enterprises and the Junker aristocracy remained reserved.
Until after the secretary left. The housekeepers of the Junker nobles stepped forward lightly and said softly to Tu Qianjun without arrogance or humility: "Honorable general, this is an invitation made by our family out of respect for you. Please make sure you take the time to visit ......"
Tu Qianjun accepted these invitations with a smile, and after the housekeepers of the Junker nobles left, it was the invitation of the business owners. Like those Junker nobles, they walked up to Tu Qianjun, said similar words, and quietly retreated.
With a bunch of invitations in his hand, Tu Qianjun couldn't laugh or cry! He didn't expect to receive so many invitations early in the morning, and it seemed that he couldn't go without them.
An invitation from Prime Minister Brüning, that is definitely going to go. After all, I came at his invitation. What's the matter if you don't go?! The Junker aristocracy had to go even more, although it is said that the Junkers had greatly lost power since the abdication of the Kaiser. But now this aristocratic group is still the cornerstone of Germany! Without them, Germany could not move an inch.
Those big enterprises are in possession of the technology that Tu Qianjun wants to obtain, and if they want to reject them, who will Tu Qianjun find to get the technology?! After hesitating for a while, Tu Qianjun still didn't decide what to do. Because the dates of these invitations are set next to each other or even on the same day.
However, Tu Qianjun did not hesitate for long, he had just finished breakfast when he received an invitation from the presidential palace.
Tu Qianjun was surprised to see that the secretary of the current German President Hindenburg stood in front of Tu Qianjun with a quiet smile, and said softly to Tu Qianjun: "Your Excellency General, I apologize for the trouble that people have caused you, Mr. President. And let me invite you to the welcome reception he has given you. Those who want to meet you will be in attendance. You don't have to be a one-digit return visit......"
The secretary's words made Tu Qianjun breathe a sigh of relief, and one by one he went to visit the collapse that estimated Tu Qianjun had to run! Accepting the invitation with a smile, Tu Qianjun asked Shang Dinan to send the secretary out.
Why is Tu Qianjun so popular in Germany?! In fact, just think about it. After all, Germany needs a market. Friends are also needed, and Germany is too lonely to cooperate with a country like the Soviet Union under the containment of France in the near madness of France after the First World War.
In a country where Prussia was a martial relic, Tu Qianjun's various military victories earned him respect. From the Pacific to the banks of the Thames, the people of Germany gradually learned that there was a tyrannical tiger in the Far East!
He single-handedly tore apart the aggression of Japan and the Soviet Union! Even the experience of Tu Qianjun's undefeated army made the Germans very concerned - the French, for fear of reprisals, closed almost all German military schools and restricted German weapons and troops.
At night, under the arrangement of the German government, Tu Qianjun took a car to the Lienhof Palace in Pozdamtsets.
Tu Qianjun changed into a military uniform, and rarely matched his military rank - general! Inside the two cars in front and rear. Sitting were Shang Dinan, who was in charge of Tu Qianjun's security, and other guards and interpreters.
When the car slowly entered the palace, Tu Qianjun came to the scene of the reception under the leadership of the chief manager. At this time, a lot of people gathered in the cocktail party, and when Tu Qianjun entered, almost all the discussion stopped abruptly!
Tu Qianjun's figure and the temperament of the guards around him were too obvious, and they were all wearing the green uniforms of the Wehrmacht! This dress was designed by Tu Qianjun based on the PLA dress of later generations. And the pla dress is a bit biased towards the German style!
Yes. As soon as Tu Qianjun and his guards stood up, the scene was stunned! Over the past few years, Tu Qianjun's harsh requirements for the Wehrmacht have made Shang Dinan's entire temperament have undergone a qualitative change!
Standing like a javelin, with eyes as sharp as a falcon! The silence as steady as a mountain made those originally noisy atmospheres stagnate!
"Haha...... Ladies and gentlemen! Let's welcome the Tigers from the Far East! General Tu Qianjun, who has never been defeated and commander-in-chief of the Northeast National Defense Forces of the Republic of China! A man in a suit with a Chinese face, two beards, very old, but extremely dignified, and a man in a suit laughed, and slowly walked from the banquet to Tu Qianjun.
"Wow~Wow~Wow......" At this time, everyone smiled and applauded at Tu Qianjun! This old man is obviously old, the old age spots on his body and the somewhat cloudy eyeballs have already explained the age of this old man, and Tu Qianjun also guessed the identity of this old man!
He had a short flat head and a beautiful Prussian beard. With a spacious forehead and a majestic appearance!
Tu Qianjun knew who he was, this old man was the current German president and former German Imperial Marshal Hindenburg! saw Tu Qianjun walking slowly towards the old man, and said to him, "Smack!" "One of them stands upright! A solemn military salute!
"Tu Qianjun, Commander-in-Chief of the National Defense Forces of the Republic of China, sent a letter to the German Empire. Ludwig. Hans. Settled. Feng. Hindenburg. Salute to Marshal Benekendorff! ”
The applause stopped abruptly again! Everyone was stunned, no one thought that Tu Qianjun would actually salute Hindenburg, and the eyes of Hindenburg, who were originally oncoming, flashed a little brightness! But then the light disappeared and fell silent.
The applause stalled, and everyone fell silent. After Hindenburg was silent for a long time, the originally somewhat rickety waist slowly straightened, and the originally cloudy eyes gradually flashed with a hint of light!
Finally, under the gaze of everyone, the old man straightened his waist, and the light of the Hetian shot in his eyes! He replied with a military salute to Tu Qianjun and replied in a deep voice: "Marshal of the German Empire, Paul. Hindenburg! Welcome to visit us! ”
The military salute of the two seemed to be frozen at that moment! The Junker aristocrats who participated in the reception were moved by the military salute of the two, and even some lowered their heads and quietly wiped their tears.
Germany, it has been too long since we have seen a soldier. Hindenburg, the former Marshal of the Reich, has not given a military salute for too long! But this eighty-five-year-old man, that military salute is still so firm! Just like Prussia!
"Ernst, is that the man known as the 'Tiger of the Far East'?!" A girl about fifteen years old stood next to a ten-year-old boy beside her, looked at Tu Qianjun not far away and said softly with admiration: "Oh~ He's so strong!" Black eyes look so charming......"
The man beside the girl seemed to be in a trance and remembered something. After a long while, he whispered to the girl, "Federica, my sister! This is a powerful man......"
