The Olympic Village of the Berlin Olympics is comparable to a holiday resort, whether it is the architectural style, the facilities and equipment, and the interior of the rooms are perfect, which makes the Chinese athletes who are nested in the low and gloomy cabins along the way stunned: I go, it is like going to heaven......

Not to mention them, even the well-informed Lu Zhuhu, since entering the Olympic Village, has inevitably walked all the way to marvel, elegant and agile fountains, well-manicured flower beds and lawns, equipment for athletes to relax and entertain and swimming pools...... Everything is illustrated: in order to show the world the great achievements of Germany in just a few years under its management, Zhente Niang is too willing to burn money!

It's really burning!

Lu Zhuhu is sure that the Olympic Games in Brazil 80 years later are estimated to be no better than the one in front of him - during the World Cup, he chatted with his old classmate Bindi from São Paulo, and the other party said nonchalantly: Look, when the Olympics are held, we will still have only one lid on the toilet! I didn't expect this crow's mouth to become a prophecy, some athletes in the Brazilian Olympics were so miserable that they couldn't use the toilet, and the Chinese table tennis team could only be eaten by head coach Liu Pang himself, haha!

……

Lu Zhuhu was right, and Hitler did invest a terrible amount of money in all aspects of the Games. In order to build this unprecedented modern Olympic Village, the German Ministry of Defense mobilized a large number of active military personnel to participate in the construction, moved a large number of flowers and trees from all over the country and even neighboring countries, and even thousands of various birds and small animals were put into various places to increase the interest of the Olympic Village.

Of course, Germany does not have money and nowhere to burn, but mainly has ill-intentioned intentions. When Hitler first became chancellor, he had no interest in the Olympics at all, and he didn't even want to touch it at all if the right to host it had been given to Germany, for a simple reason: the Olympics were too "mixed", there were all kinds of people, and they competed with blacks and even Jews, isn't it blasphemy against the Aryans?

However, the Fuhrer's mouthpiece and close partner, Propaganda Minister Goebbels-kun's intentions are much more sinister, and he feels that the holding of the Olympic Games clearly has great political potential. The Olympics can not only enhance Germany's international image, create an image of Germany as peace-loving, anti-war and anti-persecution, but also promote the "Aryan theory of racial superiority". Therefore, I persuaded Boss Adolf that the Olympics should not only be held, but also specially organized. In the end, Hitler was persuaded by Goebbels to change his previous indifferent attitude and allocate 20 million marks to the Berlin Olympics at once-

In fact, the total investment in the Berlin Olympics far exceeds this figure, and by how much?

200 million marks......

Directly doubled tenfold......

That's $80 million, and at this time, one dollar is nearly two oceans......

On the 131-hectare "Imperial Sports Square", Germany has built not only the Olympic Stadium and the May Square, but also an open-air swimming pool, a hockey rink, the Deutsche Sports Building, the Olympic Square and an amphitheater designed in the ancient Greek style...... All kinds of luxuries are indeed beyond the imagination of people at this time......

So why the '08 Olympics have been held so many times before, and this one is still remembered for the events themselves, and it is not unreasonable to think that the level of preparation was at the highest level - although with the benefit of hindsight, the choice of Berlin in the Third Reich was a mistake......

At noon, I had lunch in the Olympic Village, took a break in the afternoon, walked around the village, and in the evening Mr. Mo Da hosted a banquet for all the members of the delegation and Ambassador Cheng to wash the dust for everyone. Mr. Mo Da has only one small apartment in Berlin, and in order to entertain so many people, he rented a manor near the Olympic Village during the Olympic Games. Naturally, the athletes were happy to go.

Because it is not far away, it will not take long to drive to arrive, and everyone will be happy as soon as they enter the door - the Western-style manor is decorated with lights, festive red everywhere, and there are more than a dozen tables of eight immortals in the open air - because it is estimated that it cannot be put in the big house, and it is also newly painted red, and those who don't know think that someone in the master's family is married. Lu Zhuhu took a look, isn't this the same as drinking in the Mo family's old mansion that day?

Unexpectedly, Mr. Mo Da has a half-foreign face, but the aesthetics in his bones are extremely vulgar and earthy!

People come quickly, the dishes are also served quickly, not very exquisite, large portions of home-cooked dishes, braised pork, white chopped chicken, lion's head, vinegar fish...... It's not light to look at!

But these guys from China haven't eaten Chinese dishes for more than a month, it's really oily, it's really greasy, but Chinese just love to eat!

In an instant, the guests and hosts sat down, feasted, pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and were happy and harmonious.

When everyone talked about the departure of the large army at Berlin Station in the morning, the foreign reporters couldn't help but feel a little proud of the large number of Chinese team members.

However, there are many people, and it is not easy to come to Berlin to compete, and when it comes to the brutal selection encountered in China, the athletes still pour bitter water.

At that time, when the funds for the expedition had not yet been confirmed, after all, the football team had not yet gone out to perform, and the Sports Association had already started the work of selecting athletes in full swing. Of course, compared to today's Olympic qualifiers, the selection at this time is much simpler, and the rules are very simple -

Grades must meet international standards;

Breaking the national record;

The first person in the country.

Well, it's not that one can be done, but that all three must be satisfied!

In this era, the modern sports industry in China has just started, and there are not many people in the country who can be called athletes, and there are only one or two athletes who can do some of their own sports. For example, in swimming, according to the results of recent competitions, the Sports Association selects from all over the country, and finally meets the requirements......

Only four athletes were selected......

Guo Zhenheng in Shanghai, a certain gentleman who did not want to be named, Chen Zhenxing in Hong Kong, and Yang Xiuqiong, the little mermaid, are naturally the little mermaid.

Even if there are only four people, you still have to pass the test!

In the end, Chen Zhenxing and Yang Xiuqiong used all their strength to break the national record and were admitted as official members of the Chinese Olympic swimming team......

Look, want to go to Berlin? Then be ready to break the national record......

Swimming is not bad, after all, these are the ones with outstanding strength, and sooner or later they will break the national record.

The selection of the football team has been said before, but in comparison, the selection of athletics, basketball and other sports is more complicated. After all, football has developed well in Shanghai, Hong Kong and other places, and Li Huitang, Chen Zhenhe and others are also well-known Asian football stars. Other project personnel are not so concentrated, and some people suggest that the gap between the performance of Chinese players and the world's first-class players is too big anyway, so it is better to go less or less. In athletics, the passing line for the men's 100m is set at 11 seconds, 200m 23 seconds and 400m 53 seconds. Although by today's standards, some of these results do not meet the standards of national first-class athletes, but at this time it is already considered a very high level in China. In 1929, Liu Changchun set national records of 10.8 seconds, 22.4 seconds and 52.4 seconds in these three events. In other words, there is no strength to break the national record, and there is no qualification to even register for the qualifiers......
