Chapter 225 Chinese Miracle(1/2)
,
spnIn late July 1936, although the entire city was filled with a deep pride belonging to the xxx people, it contained a disturbing gloom. Behind the beautiful Germans, behind the deliberately created Olympic events and peaceful times, there seemed to be some alternative restlessness hidden.
In order to host this Olympic Games in Fanjing Taiping, the Nazi Party spent a lot of effort to invite countries around the world to send Olympic delegations to Berlin. "For some poor and backward "friendly countries", Hitler even paid for it personally.
The Nazi government not only built a huge main stadium that can accommodate 100,000 people, but also built a first-class swimming pool hall, sports gymnasium, basketball hall, etc. The Nazi government, who was helmed by Hitler, attached great importance to this Olympics. Not only did it temporarily relax the exclusion of Jews and cleared out of the government departments, it even invited some famous Jews who lived in other countries to represent Germany in the Olympics.
However, as the leader of the Nazi Party, Hitler tried his best to win peace points for Germany through an Olympic Games, and also tried to prove the superiority of the Aryan race, especially its branch Germanic race. Before the start of the game, after learning about the huge number of American delegations and Hungarian delegations through intelligence sent back by agents, the German Olympic Preparatory Committee immediately expanded the delegation and made the number of people reach the sauna.
Berlin, Hitler's Head of State office.[
"Hi, Hitler!"
Heidrich, director of the Security Department of the SS of the Third Reich, received Jin Jian's permission and walked to Hitler's office to specially tidy up his military uniform. Then he opened the door and saluted the most standard German military salute to his head of state.
"Heidrich, has the Chinese delegation investigated clearly?" Hitler asked without raising his head. He seemed to be focusing on a document on the table, but Heidrich, who was familiar with his temper, knew that the head of state needed his own detailed answer, otherwise he would become the target of the head of state's anger.
"According to the security department's investigation, the Chinese did have a secret visiting delegation except for military visiting ships, and the remaining 399 were all athletes. Among them, 170 of them had participated in the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics and the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics." Heidrich said quickly.
Hitler nodded, he still had some understanding of the Chinese. In 1928, they participated in the Olympic Games for the first time. The Olympic delegation with only 25 people, including the football team, won 3 gold medals and 16 medals. The 1932 Los Angeles Olympic Games "because of the enthusiastic invitation from Hoover, the Southwest China "government" sent an unprecedented 155 athletes Olympic delegations, and the participating events included all Olympic events. Although the Nanjing National Government, it actually sent an Olympic delegation of 15 people, which also led to the only time in the Olympic Games, with two Olympic delegations participating in a country at the same time.
In 1936, China, which had already completed national unity, actively carried out various tasks of sports to promote the country, and held the national sports meeting for two consecutive years. The construction of sports has also been mentioned to the level of improving the physical fitness of the people. On the site selection of the 1936 Berlin Olympics, China voted for Berlin.
Hitler attached great importance to the Chinese, but he didn't expect that the Chinese would send such a huge delegation this time.
"Heidrich, it's not surprising that they have more than 400 million people, and it's realistic to choose the athletes." Hitler said while writing quickly on the document.
"The Heads of State, based on our intelligence, have a considerable number of their athletes from their troops, or are members of the military." Heidrich said.
"Well, it's quite interesting. Then let's increase the number of Olympic delegations. Germany cannot lose to the Chinese in this regard." Hitler had decided to temporarily expand the size of the German Olympic delegation, and then remembered something and added, "I have arranged a secret meeting with the Chinese secret delegation. For the Chinese, we must give the old empire the same respect." "Yes, Yuanbing!"
Heidrich thought to himself that the top leaders of the empire really valued the Chinese. Although this newly established country has developed rapidly, it is still not as good as a few old countries. However, as the director of the Security Department, he knew that Hitler had always held a positive and optimistic view of China's ability to hold up certain power of the Soviets in the East.
To put it in the words of Hitler at the secret meeting, "They are natural opponents of the red polar bears, and the strength of Germany requires their participation. The Japanese myself was eliminated from my shortlist. The Chinese have a population of more than 400 million, several times that of the empire, and they are more suitable for Germany."
On the streets of Berlin, the Chinese Olympic delegation had just been arranged by the German government to visit the Charlotte Palace. "A important official of the Nazi Party Central Committee, Goebbels, met the Chinese Olympic delegation on behalf of Hitler and delivered a brief five-minute speech. Then, accompanied by a deputy minister of the Sports Ministry, hundreds of people from the Chinese Olympic delegation began to visit the Charlotte Palace. Many people only felt many years later that the German Nazi government was at least sincere in dealing with the China issue. Goebbels might have been just a figure hidden under the huge iceberg of the Nazi dictatorship at that time, but a few years later, the whole world knew him.
Hitler arranged for him to serve as his representative to meet the Chinese delegation. Even after Zhang Shusheng found out, he had to sigh that Hitler, one of the best ambitious people in human history, really made a lot of efforts to win over China. After all, what they needed in history was Japan himself, but at this time, Japan had just been defeated by China, and even as many as 600,000 Japanese himself participated in various engineering constructions in various parts of China.
Zhang Shusheng also admitted that if he was Hitler, he would also implement the policy of winning over China in Asia. A unified, large population and very good potential is Germany's natural ally. You should know that in this era, no one in the world knows better than Zhang Shusheng that the bearded tendency to invade the Soviet Union. Whoever can hold up part of the Soviet Union's power is the natural ally of the Germans.
After the visit, most of the people took the bus specially arranged by the German government to return to the Olympic Village. This mobilization was accompanied by Chinese staff.
"Captain, this Berlin seems to be a little worse than Hanjing."
The football team of the Chinese Olympic delegation, five players, were under the protection of captain Li Huitang and two Chinese security personnel and a German translator, walked around the Berlin street near the Olympic Village.
Although Berlin, Germany at this time, was full of traffic and had the courage of a world metropolis, in the eyes of Li Huitang and others, it was not as good as the current Hanjing.[
Since Hanjing was expanded on the basis of Nanjing, the old city has retained the characteristics of Nanjing. The new city has adopted the design of a modern metropolis. The roads are open, municipal construction, commercial facilities, and transportation hubs are all based on the best planning drawings of the world's "sexy" metropolis provided by Zhang Shusheng. The spacious streets are full of shops, filled with large supermarkets with high-quality and low-cost domestic goods, smooth public relations and transportation, all the domestic Chinese cars on the streets, and even the soon-to-be-built subway.
Although Hanjing's subway is seventy years later than the world's first London subway, its technology is far beyond all subways in Britain today. It has advanced design, reasonable planning, and nine main roads designed with porridge. Hanjing's subway will be able to meet the needs of cities in the next twenty years. After all, "Hanjing is getting bigger and bigger day by day, and the population and urban scale are growing rapidly every day. A modern transportation hub that conforms to the identity of the capital of Greater China is very necessary.
"Yes, on the streets of Hanjing, there are many tall buildings. The tallest branch of the Universal Hotel on the Yangtze River, Hanjing, Hanjing Building, is as high as 60th floor." Li Huitang nodded. Hanjing has changed too much. Not to mention anything else, the modern skyscraper Hanjing Building built in just over 450 days is the absolute pride of the Chinese people.
Although the Hanjing Building is far lower than the 102nd floor of the New York Empire State Building, which was created in 410 days in 1930, China, which pays more attention to quality, uses various large-scale engineering machinery used during the construction process is even more advanced than that of the Americans, and the construction speed is not even lower than that of the Americans.
In Hanjing shopping malls, from Huaxia cars to as small as any daily necessities you can imagine, they can be sold at a satisfactory price. There are many chain stores on the streets, such as McDonald's, which mainly features the Western market, and KFC. There are many on the streets of Hanjing, but the prices of the same food and beverages are several times cheaper than those abroad.
In terms of economy, Huaxia Avenue, the financial center of Hanjing, has officially opened the first stock exchange in China. The number of merchants and wealthy citizens who are so many that they are shocked to invest their wealth in the stock market and then turn to domestic economic development. Some private industries that have made up their minds to obtain patent rights from the State Patent Office and the Shusheng Company Patent Office have been greatly sought after.
It can be said that for the world, the new China that has completed national unity is still like "closed to the country." Even if some Western media occasionally report on China's huge development in a stunning way, it is still difficult to attract their attention.
"The Chinese are just building a new city."
"The Chinese have just started several large companies."
"The Chinese are just building a tall building."
China, which has not passed a world declaration, has never been recognized by the world. Even though it has achieved great achievements in three years of national economic development, it is still behind in the eyes of the world. They will believe in the miracles created by the Soviets in three years, but will not believe that China led by the Baath Party created miracles.
At this time, major cities such as China, Hanjing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Chongqing, Yibin, Kunming, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Beijing have undergone drastic changes due to the economy. Especially Hanjing, Shanghai, Chengdu, and Yibin, which have developed particularly rapidly due to geographical location and political factors. Cement factories and building materials factories around the city do not produce enough building materials needed by cities and industries when working day and night.
In contrast, although Germany is equally strong in industry and has cultural heritage, it does look old and dilapidated. For example, just sent Li Huitang and others to this street, which is known as the most prosperous nearby, and the bus waiting at the entrance of the Olympic Village is not even as good as that used by major cities in the southwest five years ago.
In twenty years, Zhang Shusheng exchanged his efforts for the drastic changes in China, but it was hard for the world to imagine.
Li Huitang and others were strolling while feeling the style of the streets and alleys of Berlin. Along the way, many foreigners were eyeing them, because the Chinese staff accompanied him were equipped with special pass armbands issued by the Nazi Party, which was simply a hindrance along the way, and even the Germans had to give in to the spear when they saw it. This was not the first time in Germany. Hitler occasionally liked to issue "special passes" to some visitors who were visiting guests so that they could feel the "Germany enthusiasm in Germany.
"The German handicrafts are still a bit special, and they just happen to buy some souvenirs for the little guy." After Li Huitang settled in the southwest, he soon fell in love with a female high school teacher. His daughter is almost six years old this year. With his income, he can easily afford these handicrafts that are not too cheap, but of good quality.
After several team members selected some souvenirs, they left the craft shop. There were many such craft shops on the streets of Berlin. As soon as they walked out of the store, they saw a large number of people coming out of the street tavern with huge beer bottle signs in the distance. "There was a turmoil."
"Ah...@#¥%..." Li Huitang and others didn't understand German. They looked at the German translation beside Lan. The German translation was graduated from Southwest Language University. A beautiful little girl spoke very smoothly in German.
"Someone is drinking to make trouble, as if the Nazis were chasing and beating the Jews..." The young girl from the translator listened for a while, then waved her hand and said. Li Huitang and others immediately understood that it was a racial conflict. The former "staff, translator and athletes all had a brief understanding of the current situation in Germany.
Everyone sighed secretly. The concept of the Greater Chinese nation is advocated in China, and they talked a lot about the great national unity within the Chinese nation. "Children even received education on ethnic unity since childhood, and they are not used to this kind of racial conflict that occurs in Germany." After all, it was a fight between foreigners. Just when everyone was about to leave, they saw an old-fashioned car suddenly coming from the corner of the street, as if the brakes had failed. "After a few breaths, they rushed towards the crowd at the entrance of the tavern.
"Bang" "
After the car crashed a dozen people away, it ran over two people and drove away with bumpy rides. Suddenly, a piece of blood was removed from the door of the tavern, and the ground was filled with people groaning, including Germans, but more of them were Jews.
"Far……"
As witnesses, Li Huitang and others were stunned. The situation was developing too fast, which made it difficult for them to accept when they witnessed the tragedy. Both sides who had just been fighting in a row were actually knocked to the ground by a car.
Unfortunately, Zhang Shusheng, as the head of state of China, could not be here, otherwise, he would definitely think that this was the German Gestapo who were playing a tough trick. In order to retaliate against the Jews and even the uncooperatives in their own country, they set fire to the library and launched a tavern riot. For the sake of their interests, they would not hesitate to make any bets.
Sure enough, soon, an ambulance and two police motorcycles drove over quickly. Germany also produced many motorcycles with a bucket. After the police jumped down, they loudly scolded the ambulance in German and rushed the Germans to the hospital.
However, when several people were carried into the car, the rest were driven to a group of people by the police. Even a Jew who could not even climb was brutally dragged into the corner by two German policemen. Six or seven seriously injured Jews endured the severe pain, some were beaten with beer bottles by the Germans, and some were hit by the car, pressing their hands on the bleeding wound, but they could not get rescue and were arrested instead.
The ambulance rushed away with the wounded Germans. Another medical car that arrived later saw that the only Jews were left. It was originally planned to rescue, but was driven away by the police and the Germans who rushed out of the tavern.
"This" "This is really miserable." When he saw the German policeman taking out his hands and trying to sell several Jewish wounded people away, Li Huitang finally couldn't help it. He walked over a few steps, stood in front of several Jewish wounded people, blocking the German police. The remaining four football players rushed over and said something to the Germans in Chinese.
"Captain Li is here..."...Oh," saw this, two Chinese security personnel hurriedly called the translator and followed him.
Due to language barriers, several German policemen were angry that these yellow-skinned men came to stop them, but before they could do anything, the drunkards next to them wanted to swing a beer bottle to hit Li Huitang and others.
Seeing this, two Chinese security personnel stepped over and grabbed them like lightning with their hands. One person and one instantly put the two German drunks on the ground, and their hands were knocked back, making them unable to move.
Seeing this, the policeman next to him quickly pulled the baton from his waist. After all, these four policemen were just ordinary policemen and had no guns.
"Stop! We are members of the Olympic delegation in China, you can't exercise violence like this. The female translator Zhu Jiajia rushed up and quickly spoke a string of German, causing several policemen to pull the baton to stop.
"Huhuhu" "
At this time, several sharp whistles sounded from afar. Everyone looked in the sound and saw a team of German Nazi policemen wearing Nazi armbands running over with pistols.
"Tell them that we are members of the Chinese Olympic delegation. This is a special pass issued to us by the Nazi government." Two team leaders of Chinese security personnel took out a red certificate with a Nazi badge on the cover and handed it to a Nazi policeman's leader to see.
"Hello, dear guests. This is a bad Jewish incident. They intend to destroy the German government to host the Olympics. We will be ordered to arrest them. We will send someone to send you back to the Olympic village to rest."
The Gestapo team leader saluted the Chinese security personnel holding the ID and then said to Zhu Jiajia. Zhu Jiajia quickly translated to others.
"They are injured and should be treated. Even if they are guilty, they should wait until the injury stabilizes before they talk." Li Huitang said angrily. Originally, they were not going to care about these messy matters. After all, does the Germans and Jewish dogs have anything to do with the Chinese? No.
However, as a conscientious Chinese, Li Huitang struggled to convince himself, and watched the wounded not receive treatment because of the bleeding. This would cause serious psychological pressure for football athletes who pursue integrity and peace, and for athletes who participate in the Olympic Games that symbolize peace.
The Gestapo team leader was a second lieutenant. After hearing what Zhu Jiajia translated, he frowned slightly and weighed for a while, but said, "Sorry, we don't have an ambulance for the time being, so we can't take them to the hospital. You can go back first. We will take them to the hospital after we wait for the ambulance."
After listening to Zhu Jiajia's translation, Li Huitang and others exchanged views with two security personnel, and then asked Zhu Jiajia to translate, "We will not interfere in your internal affairs, but I hope you can treat them in humanitarian psychiatrics. We have a big cart that can take them to the hospital first."
After hearing this, the Nazi lieutenant hesitated for a while, then nodded, waved his hand, and the Gestapos began to lift the Jewish wounded people on the ground, and then sent the Olympic Village special car that was driving over.
Looking at the departing car and the Germans who were whistling to themselves and others while walking back to the tavern to continue drinking each other, a security officer said, "A car will come to take us back to the Olympic village soon. The Germans say that there is no car just an excuse. Don't have a psychological burden. We can't control the conflict between Germans and Jews. Such things are common even during the Olympics."
"The Chairman is right, one of the most important key points of national rejuvenation is that one day, your people will not be racially discriminated against or massacred, but will be humble. Now, they are forced by the situation. "One day, they will truly fear us." Another security officer showed strong confidence in his eyes, and it seemed that he could see that day.
After a small "interlude" song passed, the opening ceremony of the 1936 Berlin Olympics was soon ushered in. The expansion of the Germans still did not stop. The Jews were still oppressed and gradually fired from the government structure and various companies. However, the Olympics still began according to Hitler's will. In August, Hitler personally announced the beginning of the Olympics at the main venue of Berlin Olympics, which is a hundred thousand people. Then the opening ceremony of the holy flames was introduced. This "so-called holy flame ceremony that symbolizes peace, advocated by Hitler, will prove to be a great irony in the near future.
But in any case, this is a grand Olympic Games. The participation scale of 4,155 athletes from 49 countries is several times stronger than the last Los Angeles Olympics. At that time, countries shrouded in economic crisis, even the United States, were really lacking in energy and held an Olympic Games with very few people.
After the Berlin Olympics began, competition among traditional sports powers was fierce. However, the performance of the Chinese quickly became the focus of attention of media in various countries, especially German media.
"Oh my God, the Chinese created strange things at the beginning of the Olympics..."
Liu Changchun, a 100-meter sprinter from China, scored the first place in the group in the 100-meter group stage, surpassing George, a black man from the United States, a US athlete who is extremely promising to win at least a silver medal in sprint, second only to star players Jesse and Owens.
In the finals later, after years of hard training, Liu Changchun, who had won the bronze medal at the 1932 American Olympic Games, finally made a big splash and defeated Owens in 008 seconds to win the first gold medal in the sprint event of the Chinese.
Everyone, whether German or American, even Chinese, was surprised. In addition to Liu Changchun's coach, an old instructor who retired from active service in the original Longya Special Forces unit knew how hard he worked and how hard he had in the past four years. Even within the Chinese delegation, he was not among the expected gold medals.
But he did it, and won the gold medal for the first time in the event where the Chinese may be the least likely to win the championship.
Liu Changchun's amazing gold grab seemed to be a precedent. Then China's athletes opened in full swing, gaining something in many events such as shooting, track and field, swimming, basketball, etc., and the number of gold medals won once remained ahead.
Although most of the athletes failed to get their wishes and won gold or silver and bronze medals, they left a deep impression on the Olympic audience with a very hard-working spirit. "Maybe they are not the strongest Olympic delegation, but they are the most fighting spirit. Their spirit is worth learning from. They are no longer backward ignorant nations, they are no longer sick men of East Asia. They not only defeated the Japanese on the battlefield, they also defeated the Japanese in the Olympics..." The headline of the German Daily reported the victory of the Chinese, and passed the Nazi censorship for the first time.
At the end of the game, only the football finals remained. The Chinese Olympic delegation ranked third in gold medals, the Germans ranked first with 35 gold medals and 96 total medals, the Americans ranked second with 19 gold medals, 51 total medals, the Chinese were ranked third with gold medals, and 36 total medals Hungary ranked fourth.
Although the final football final has affected the medal rankings, it has attracted the largest number of viewers, because this Olympic football final is unique and even the first time it was the first time. Both sides of the finals are: Chinese and British teams.
Although the Chinese team was a bit lucky, because several strong teams met each other, the Chinese people unexpectedly advanced. After all, although the Chinese people won both the group stage and the semi-finals, they were not as dazzling as the other traditional strong teams.
Although Li Huitang's football team participated in the Amsterdam Olympics in 1928 and finished fourth, losing to the host Dutch team.
However, they are equally inconspicuous, and even after a long competition, no one remembers them.
However, in the finals, when everyone sighed that the fate of a strong team was not good, they had to accept the reality that the British team would compete with the Chinese team for the football championship.
They can say that the Chinese escaped the strong team by luck, but the fact is that the Chinese replaced the Germans or the Dutch, or the Argentines or the French, stood on the finals, and the Chinese team is an old Olympic team, which is their third time to participate in the Olympics, and perhaps the last time, because the storm of war is approaching.
To be continued...
