"In 22 seconds, I broke the national record in the 200 meters!" After Chen Qiang lost his mind for a short time, a feeling of surprise rose in his heart.

The track is relatively soft, which is not conducive to the athletes' good results.

And when Chen Qiang entered the straight in the corner, he made a mistake and lost some time.

Under such circumstances, he also ran a 22-second time and broke the national record of 200 meters, which Chen Qiang is very satisfied with.

In fact, this result is not fast, and according to the standards of later generations, it is not up to the national first-class athletes.

"Chen Qiang, congratulations!"

"Record-breaking, congratulations!"

Including Liu Changchun, the surrounding athletes came up to congratulate Chen Qiang.

Although Liu Changchun's mood was a little depressed, he did not resent Chen Qiang because of his failure. I only heard him ask: "I see that when you started, the direction was deliberately tilted, in order to accelerate faster?" ”

For Liu Changchun, Chen Qiang did not hide it, and the question asked by Liu Changchun should be guessed by a 200-meter athlete with a little experience.

The core of the 200-meter curve technique is still the technique of running on the road, which is not something that can be learned by the naked eye.

Chen Qiang simply explained to Liu Changchun: "I deliberately put the starting position close to the outer line on the right, and then leaned in the direction to start, just to get a longer straight sprint distance at the start." After all, it's not easy to speed up when running in corners, so it's a little faster to be a little faster. ”

Liu Changchun nodded: "I wrote it down, and I will practice like you when I go back." ”

Chen Qiang only introduced the technology of corner running to Liu Changchun, such as the core technology of corner running, Chen Qiang did not mention half a word, he did not plan to spread the advanced sprinting technology he mastered, after all, in this era, the domestic situation is still relatively chaotic, and sports are not popular.

On the contrary, the United States, Britain, Germany and other countries are already sports powers, if Chen Qiang spreads advanced technology, the first to eat through must be the Americans, British and Germans, when the time comes, it will be cheaper for those Western powers, Western countries become stronger, and China's sports will be more and more backward.

As for showing it in the competition, being seen by other athletes, and then imitating it, it is not very likely. If Chen Qiang used a sports technique from the fifties and sixties, perhaps the athletes of this era would really be able to steal the teacher by watching it a few times.

But what Chen Qiang uses is the technology that has been used since the eighties and nineties, and it has formed a whole set of systematic things in the future. With the ability of athletes to understand in this era, looking at it with the naked eye alone, at most they can only get the form, but they will definitely not get their essence.

The limitations of the times are really an insurmountable chasm. For example, if you take an oil-fired turbine locomotive to a scientist in the thirties, the scientists in the thirties will definitely be able to imitate it if they study it carefully. But if the high-speed rail CRH380 model of the 21st century is given to scientists in the thirties, they will not be able to imitate it even if they want to.

Next, Chen Qiang and Liu Changchun chatted about the next 400-meter sprint.

"I feel like I'm no match for you in the 400m event now." Liu Changchun opened his mouth and said.

"How can that! You're the national record holder in the 400m, and I remember last year's National Games, when you were injured, you broke the 400m national record. How many did you run at that time? Chen Qiang said.

"52.6 seconds." Liu Changchun replied.

"You can run 52.6 seconds with injuries, and now that you're in good shape, you should be able to run for 50 seconds, right?" Chen Qiang asked tentatively, he also wanted to find out about Liu Changchun's reality.

Liu Changchun shook his head: "What do you think!" No Asian athlete has yet run the 400-meter in 50 seconds! I'm not really good at running 400 meters, and I was lucky to break the national record last time. ”

"I remember the world record in the 400m was 47.6 seconds, right? In this way, in the 400m event, our Asian athletes are lagging behind a lot! Chen Qiang said.

"Isn't it, there is a champion in Japan named Hideo Matsushige, his best time is 51.6 seconds, this person is now in Tohoku, working in Manchurian Railway, and he also came to our Tohoku University to do exchanges. This is probably the top strength in Asia! Liu Changchun opened his mouth to introduce.

Chen Qiang recalled that he did not have the name Hideo Matsushige in his memory, probably because he did not become a legendary athlete in Japanese history, so there is no strong record.

"And how fast can you run now?" Chen Qiang asked again.

"I don't know. When I practiced the 400 meters, I was a big bully, sometimes I could run 52, sometimes I had to run 56 seconds. I don't have much talent in the 400m event, so I don't usually practice much, and it all depends on luck. "Liu Changchun is very open.

Chen Qiang frowned, the 400m has a 4-second time fluctuation, which should not be seen by professional athletes.

"Such a big ups and downs shows that Liu Changchun really can't run 400 meters, if you know the skills of physical distribution, 400 meters will not have such big ups and downs." Chen Qiang said secretly in his heart.

At this time, Chen Qiang had already understood that in the 400-meter event, Liu Changchun ran purely by physical talent.

If you think about it carefully, Chen Qiang is not surprised by this result. After all, the 400m is the most difficult sprint sport, which requires athletes to allocate their physical strength extremely precisely according to their own running style. This not only requires the physical fitness of the athletes, but also the training of the coaches.

The 400-meter dash of the future is almost monopolized by American athletes, and there have been cases of Americans winning the 400-meter championship, second and third place at the Olympics, and the level of training in this event is indeed higher than that of other countries.

On the other side, Liu Changchun asked: "I haven't seen you run 400 meters before, how fast can you run in this event?" ”

"53 seconds!" Chen Qiang continued: "So if you can play at the level of last year's National Games, the 400m championship is yours!" ”

Chen Qiang didn't tell the truth, 53 seconds was just his slowest time, and he had to play very badly to run a 53-second time. If he plays to the limit, Chen Qiang can run within 52 seconds.

According to the national athlete standard of later generations, the national second-level athlete in the 400m achieved the standard time of 53 seconds. As for the national first-class athletes, the performance has risen to 49.6 seconds in electronic timing, and the higher-level national athletes have a standard score of 47.6 seconds, and the 400-meter world record in this era happens to be 47.6 seconds.

Now Chen Qiang's 400-meter level, if placed in the future, can barely be regarded as the middle level of national second-level athletes.

……

In Tianjin, a glider hovered in the air, and the people below raised their heads to watch, and from time to time there would be applause and cheers.

"Look, that's an airplane built by Hebei Automobile School!"

"Great, we've finally built our own plane!"

In May 1931, Sui Xingxin and Zhu Chen, the hosts of Tianjin Hebei Automobile School, made China's first glider, which caused a sensation in Tianjin, and then every time it was tested, it would attract countless people to stop and watch.

A car stopped in front of the British Friendship Club, and a foreigner in his forties stepped out of the car, looked up at the glider in the sky, and then at the cheering people around him, and couldn't help but pout.

"A group of ignorant Chinese, this is just a glider, not a real plane."

The foreigner walked into the British Friendship Club with a disdainful face.

This foreigner is Elio, the Italian consul in Tianjin.

When the waiter saw the man, he immediately stepped forward: "Mr. Elio, Mr. Edward, the British consul, and Mr. Batna, the French consul, have all arrived, and they are riding horses in the stable. ”

"Then take me there." Elio spoke.

The British Friendship Club was originally a livestock farm, and later Li Hongzhang gave this land to the Englishman De Xuanlin, who built it into a Jockey Club and a Friendship Club. By the thirties, there was not only a racecourse, but also tennis courts, a golf course, a pond for boating, and an English garden. Indoor there are swimming pools, billiards rooms, bowling rooms, table tennis rooms, western restaurants, dance halls, libraries and other amusement facilities. A lot of Brits often meet again.

The waiter took Elio to the racecourse, where he met with Edward, the British consul in Tianjin, and Batna, the French consul in Tianjin. The three of them were also old acquaintances, and they immediately got together, and the waiter served the English afternoon tea that had been prepared for a long time, sandwiches, English muffins, cakes and fruits, accompanied by jam and cream, black tea, milk and coffee.

The three of them enjoyed afternoon tea first, and then they got to the point.

Edward, the British consul as the host, took the lead in speaking: "Recently, some changes have taken place in Tianjin, I wonder if you have noticed?" ”

"Mr. Edward, what kind of change do you mean by that?" Elio asked.

"I'm referring to the change in the Chinese." Edward continued: "I have already spoken to Mr. Batner about this time, and many British businessmen have recently complained to the consulate that they feel that the Chinese do not respect them as much as before. ”

The French consul next to him, Batner, also spoke: "We have a similar situation in the French consulate, there are many French expatriates who have reacted to us and have not been treated with due respect. ”

"When you say 'respect', you mean privilege, right?" Elio asked with a smile.

Edward did not deny it, but said: "It is the right thing for the British to have privileges in China. ”

"Those Chinese, how can they be on an equal footing with the noble French. We French deserve privileges. Butner spoke.

Elio shrugged: "There are not many Italians in Tianjin, only a few hundred, including the garrison. Many of the Chinese residents in the Italian concession are Chinese celebrities or military and political figures in the lower field, and they are concerned about safety and will be relatively low-key on weekdays. So I didn't get the message that the Italian diaspora was not being respected. ”

"It is true that there are too few Italians in Tianjin. We in Britain are different, there are many British businessmen doing business in Tianjin, and there are also many British expatriates working in Tianjin, and the number of garrisons in the British military camp alone exceeds 3,000 people. I have to protect the rights of British expatriates from being violated! Edward spoke.

"There are also many French expatriates in Tianjin, and I want to protect their rights and interests." Butner spoke.

Among the Tianjin Concessions, the British Concession is the largest, covering an area of more than 6,000 acres. There were many factories, trading houses, banks, schools, restaurants, etc., and there were even English-language newspapers published in the British Concession. At that time, the largest Minyuan Stadium in Tianjin was also in the British Concession.

The French Concession is not small, with nearly 3,000 acres of land, and the commercial prosperity in the French Concession is also concentrated in the French Concession.

In comparison, the Italian Concession is much smaller, covering an area of about 800 acres, and the small place is naturally easier to manage. There are many Western-style villas in the Italian Concession, and many politicians will choose to live in the Italian Concession after going into the wilderness, at least personal safety can be guaranteed, so there are many former residences of celebrities in the Italian Concession in Tianjin.

French Consul Batner continued: "In recent years, Chinese nationalism has been on the rise, which has had a very negative impact on our diaspora in China, especially in March this year, after China reclaimed the Belgian concession, this nationalist sentiment reached a peak in Tianjin. I think this is a very bad sign, and it will affect French interests in China! ”

The British consul, Edward, also said: "Recently I had dinner with some British businessmen, and they all complained that business in Tianjin was not doing well. Many Chinese will not buy British goods, but will buy Chinese domestic products. There are also a few factories where they employ Chinese workers who even demand a wage increase or go on strike! This would never have happened before. ”

"It's true that the Chinese are starting to become independent and not as submissive as they used to be." Elio nodded in agreement.

1931 was a special year, first at the beginning of the year, China took back the autonomy of tariffs, which was touted as the greatest diplomatic victory in the history of the Republic of China, and at the same time it also boosted the self-confidence of the nation and inspired the patriotic sentiment of many ordinary people.

In March, Belgium returned the Belgian concession of Tianjin to China, although the Belgian concession was the smallest and most backward concession in Tianjin, and Belgium could not afford to support the concession because of financial difficulties, so it returned the concession to China.

When Belgium returned the concession, it even transferred to China a debt of more than 90,000 taels of silver in the concession, which China would continue to repay.

In this way, China spent more than 90,000 taels of silver to buy back the Belgian concession, but the repossession of the concession was also a huge diplomatic victory after all, and under the hype of the Republic of China government, the resumption of the Belgian concession pushed China's nationalist sentiment to a peak.

Especially in Tianjin, because the reclaimed concession is in Tianjin, the common people really see the return of the concession, which makes Tianjin's nationalist sentiment also the highest.

The resumption of tariff autonomy, coupled with the resumption of concessions, greatly stimulated the patriotic sentiment of the people of Tianjin, and the people spontaneously organized a movement to support domestic products, and the sales of foreign goods naturally plummeted.

At the same time, because of the rising nationalist sentiment, the Chinese people have become harder in their waists, and they are not as submissive as before when facing foreigners. And this is obviously to the detriment of the interests of these foreigners in China.

Of course, foreigners still have a lot of privileges in China, but in the past, Chinese were afraid of foreigners and offered foreigners as ancestors, but now they do not regard them as ancestors, so they are unbalanced in their hearts.

To put it simply, the privileges of foreigners in China have been reduced, so the British consul brought the French and Italian consuls to discuss a solution.

Tianjin originally had nine concessions, of which the American concession was merged into the British concession early, the German concession and the Austro-Hungarian concession were recovered after the end of World War I, the Russian concession was returned by the Soviet Union, and now the Belgian concession has also been recovered, and Tianjin knows that the concessions of Britain, France, Italy and Japan are left.

Britain, France, and Italy are all European powers, and they don't play with Asian countries like Japan, so the British consul did not invite the Japanese consul.

To get back to the point, the consuls of Britain, France and Italy are discussing countermeasures.

The British and French consuls have taken a relatively positive attitude, because after all, this has a bearing on the interests of the Chinese nationals of the two countries in China

The Italian consul, on the other hand, has a posture of "you do your work, I mix it blindly". There were not many Italians in Tianjin, and Italy's interests in China were not as great as those of Britain and France. Moreover, Italians are relatively lazy, and the two world wars were mainly responsible for being funny and cute, and causing chaos for Germany, and the Italians cannot be expected to take the lead.

I only heard the British consul Edward speak: "In the Far East, Japan has always been eyeing China, so a weak China is not in the interests of the British Empire, but a strong China is also not in the interests of the British Empire." Nowadays, the national sentiment of the Chinese is growing day by day, and we must find ways to suppress it! ”

"I agree with Mr. Edward, the key is how we suppress the national sentiment of the Chinese." French Consul Batner nodded, and then said: "If it is placed in the Qing Dynasty, we only need to drive the warship to the mouth of Dagu and fire a few shells at the sea, and those Chinese will be scared to the ground, and whatever we say, they will agree." But now, I'm afraid this method won't work. ”

"Of course we can't drive a warship to Tianjin! That will cause China to boycott foreign goods, and then our goods will be unsalable! Edward spoke.

"If you can't use force, then what? We can't really let our entrepreneurs raise the wages of Chinese workers! Butner said with a frown.

The British and French consuls fell silent for a while, while Elio, the Italian consul, was still drinking coffee.

Edward couldn't take it anymore, and he said, "Mr. Elio, do you have any good ideas?" ”

"Huh? I? Elio put down his coffee and said, "Since it can't be solved by force, why not try a peaceful solution?" ”

"Mr. Elio, what are you referring to as a method of peace?" Edward asked.

"That's for Mr. Batner." Elio looked at the French consul Batner and continued: "I remember that the famous French educator Monsieur de Couberton once said that the essence of sport is war in times of peace. But this is a more civilized and progressive, justified and legitimate war. ”

Elio's words suddenly brightened Butna's eyes.

"I see." The French consul Batner had a smile on his face, and he continued: "The last time the Tianjin Concession hosted the World Games was two years ago, right? I think it's time for us to have another World Games! ”
