Jiang Weiguo ran out in a hurry, first he saw Song Meiling, and then he saw Dai Anguo and Jin Dingguo who were in high spirits and couldn't wait. Under Jiang Weiguo's "instigation", one resigned and the other dropped out of school. After seeing Jiang Weiguo, they immediately shouted excitedly Said: "Weiguo, we can go!" Jiang Weiguo then saw standing beside Soong Meiling a lieutenant general with a dignified appearance, a resolute face but a slightly weak and gloomy expression on his brows. ", he hurriedly strode forward and stretched out his hand from a long distance: "Mr. Baili, hello!"

Mr. Baili smiled and shook hands with Jiang Weiguo very kindly: "Second Young Master, hello!"

Jiang Weiguo knew very well that Mr. Baili was not an idler. His full name was Jiang Fangzhen, and his character was Baili. He was the most outstanding strategist, military scientist, military theorist, and military educator in China at this time. He is the principal of the famous Baoding Military Academy. He is currently a senior advisor to the Military Commission and will act as the principal of the Army University (Whampoa Military Academy) after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War.

Jiang Baili was a generation of strange men in the Chinese military during the Republic of China, and he is also No. 1 in China's current military science. The famous "National Defense Theory" is his painstaking work. In this military masterpiece, he analyzed the Chinese and Japanese The war situation after the outbreak of an all-out war between the two countries creatively proposed the correct war strategy of "trading space for time" and "accumulating small victories for big victories", and put forward the concept of "protracted war" before Chairman Mao. It is no exaggeration In other words, he was the chief architect of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

"Weiguo, are you ready?" Song Meiling said with a smile, "Mr. Baili and the others are leaving soon!"

"Don't worry, mother, I've been ready for a long time!" Jiang Weiguo smiled, and then he looked at the other people on the scene. In addition to Song Meiling, Jiang Baili, Dai Anguo, and Jin Dingguo, there were five people, two of whom followed Jiang Baili, all Young men, both around 24 to [-] years old, both of them looked gentle and polite, and another young woman followed behind Soong Meiling. As for this young woman... Jiang Weiguo couldn't help but stare at her with wide eyes as soon as he took a look. He didn't let it go until Soong Meiling coughed to remind him that he realized that he had lost his composure.

"Mother, these three are..." Jiang Weiguo, who came back to his senses, laughed twice to cover up his embarrassment.

Song Meiling suppressed a smile: "These two young men, one named Liu Fengling and the other named Yi Shuihan, are both Mr. Baili's high-achieving apprentices. Liu Fengling is proficient in three foreign languages: German, Japanese, and English, and serves as Mr. Baili's translator ( Jiang Baili once studied in Japan and Germany, he himself is proficient in German and Japanese), Yi Shuihan is a staff officer, served as Mr. Baili's adjutant, and went abroad for inspection together; as for this young woman..." She showed a slight look at Jiang Weiguo With a resentful expression, "Her name is Yang Mei, a reserve officer of the guards. She was originally going to be transferred to my guards, but I think you are alone overseas. There must be someone who takes care of you and protects you, right? So put She sent it.

Yang Mei’s grades in the training team are among the best, don’t look at her as a woman, she can stand up to three men!” Wang Shihe’s guard team (secret service team) not only protects Chiang Kai-shek himself, but also has a team dedicated to protecting Song Meiling, Because Chiang Kai-shek suffered an attempted assassination in 1928, which frightened Song Meiling, who was by Chiang Kai-shek's side and was already pregnant, to abort and became infertile since then, so Chiang Kai-shek ordered Wang Shihe to train a group of female guards to protect Song Meiling.

In fact, Song Qingling, the second sister of Soong Meiling, was also frightened during pregnancy and caused a miscarriage, so that she could not have children for life.

Jiang Weiguo looked at Yangmei and said with a smile: "Mother, my cousin (Wang Shihe) has already sent the four Sun Taos to protect me. I think it is enough?" Jiang Weiguo is still very satisfied with the four Sun Taos. All of them are low-level officers of the Secret Service Regiment. Whether they are playing with guns, knives, or bricks, they can play superbly, and they can fight with bare hands without much effort. There are four subordinates who are also buddies. It is equivalent to raising four Tibetan mastiffs, at least four more security guarantees for life.

Of course, Jiang Weiguo did not refuse to have this female bodyguard named Yangmei beside him at all, after all..."Just kidding! This Yangmei looks like Liu Yan with short hair, and a certain part of her body is exactly the same as the most famous part of Liu Yan's body. It’s also good to keep it by your side for eye-catching!” Jiang Weiguo thought to himself.

Yang Mei is about 22 and [-] years old, very heroic, but like Wang Shihe, she has a poker face with a sparse expression, and her face is cold, as if she is very reluctant to be assigned to Jiang Weiguo, the second generation, as a bodyguard.

Song Meiling smiled: "Sun Tao and the others are all men. It's okay to protect you, but they must be careless and clumsy when taking care of your life. How can this be done? Well, don't give in!" She could see that Jiang Weiguo was not He really refused, but he seemed very concerned and said, "Weiguo, you are going abroad soon, so be careful yourself! Your father is busy, so he doesn't have time to see you off today!"

"Thank you mother!" Jiang Weiguo nodded, "I will definitely be careful!"

Except for Dai Anguo, Jin Dingguo, Jiang Baili, Liu Fengling, Yi Shuihan, and Yang Mei, the other two are all elegant men in their forties. After introduction, one is Shen Siliang and the other is Song Junfu. They are both sports activities in China at this time. They will soon lead a delegation of Chinese sports athletes to Berlin to participate in the 11th Olympic Games, and Jiang Weiguo will go with them.

Jiang Baili gestured to Liu Fengling, and Liu Fengling took out a military uniform, a military cap, and a pair of military-style leather shoes from his carry-on suitcase and handed them to Jiang Weiguo: "Second son, your military uniform!"

Jiang Weiguo's heart moved, he held back his excitement, and took over the military uniform: "I... I'm going to be a soldier?"

Jiang Baili smiled: "Put on this military uniform, you will be officially enlisted in the army, of course, you don't have time to participate in training now.

According to the Chairman, you are going abroad with me as my attendant!"

"I see!" Jiang Weiguo became more and more excited, "Wait for me first, I'll change into the military uniform!" He was overjoyed, and ran to his bedroom like a baby in his arms, took off his casual clothes, and put on this suit Military uniform of the second lieutenant of the National Revolutionary Army.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Jiang Weiguo felt solemn and solemn: "Today is July 1936, 7. From this moment on, I am a Chinese soldier!" He looked at the mirror repeatedly, and in the mirror was a heroic , The handsome young soldier, the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he was, and his mood was like putting on new clothes during the New Year when he was a child, "I was a second lieutenant at the beginning, which is really good! Tsk tsk, there are people in the court who are good at being officials! I don't know when I will be able to become a general What!" The national army ranks from low to high are: private, first class, private first class, corporal, sergeant, sergeant, warrant officer (master sergeant), second lieutenant, lieutenant, captain, major, lieutenant colonel, colonel, major general ( One star), lieutenant general (two stars), second-level general (three stars), first-level general (four stars), and special general (five stars).

If Jiang Weiguo really started from the lowest second-class soldier, it is estimated that he will have to survive for several years before he can become a second lieutenant.

Putting a few changes of clothes and some personal clothes in a small backpack, Jiang Weiguo walked out of the house in high spirits: "Mr. Baili, let's go!"

Jiang Baili looked at Jiang Weiguo, and couldn't help laughing: "Second Young Master, it's not too late to wear this military uniform again, let's take it off now!"

Jiang Weiguo was stunned for a moment, and only then did he notice that Jiang Baili, Liu Fengling, Yi Shuihan, and Yang Mei were all wearing casual clothes. He suddenly came back to his senses. Since he was going abroad, and the current situation between China and Japan is so complicated, then his own business One certainly can't make a big splash.

After running back into the house blushing, Jiang Weiguo took off his military uniform and put on his civilian clothes again.

"Mother, I'm leaving!" Jiang Weiguo formally bid farewell to Song Meiling.

Song Meiling nodded, then took out a stack of legal coins and handed it to Yang Mei: "I'll take care of you on Weiguo Road!"

Yang Mei took the money and nodded: "Madam, please rest assured!" She respected Song Meiling very much.

Jiang Weiguo looked very depressed from the side: "Hey! That's my money, why didn't you give it to me? Is she my bodyguard or my nanny?"

At the same time, the four of Sun Tao also came over with their luggage bags. All four of them were overjoyed. After all, they received a good job to go abroad with Mr. Jiang's second son for "public travel". This is not an opportunity that can be obtained casually.

Jiang Weiguo, Jiang Baili, Sun Tao, Weng Yong, Chen Ming, Sun Jian, Liu Fengling, Yi Shuihan, Yang Mei, Dai Anguo, Jin Dingguo, Shen Siliang, and Song Junfu bid farewell to Song Meiling one by one and walked out of the resting house. Wang Shihe had already prepared several cars , 13 people boarded the car and headed for Nanjing Railway Station.

"It's finally started!" Jiang Weiguo sighed with emotion in his heart.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, everyone arrived at Nanjing Railway Station and got on the train, heading east all the way, and it was dusk when they arrived in Shanghai.

It was the first time for Jiang Weiguo to see the legendary "Shanghai Bund". Although it was the 30s, this prosperous international metropolis is still worthy of the title of "Oriental Paris" and "Far Eastern Financial Center". The cobweb road is full of traffic, and when you look up, you can see magnificent restaurants, majestic banks, theaters and dance halls with different styles, exotic western-style buildings and villas in the concession, merchant ships leaving after unloading in the port of Huangpu River and Merchant ships loaded with goods come and go like camel teams on the Silk Road. As night falls, the colorful neon lights make the whole city feast and feast, accompanied by the hustle and bustle of the city and the lazy and classic old songs. Shanghai songs, of course, Jiang Weiguo is more interested in those women in the Republic of China wearing cheongsams and swaying on the street.

At this time, Shanghai is the fifth largest port in the world and the largest port in China. All of this proves that Shanghai occupies the core position of China's finance, commerce, economy and many other aspects.

Jiang Weiguo was very surprised at first, but then his heart became heavy, because he knew that in a year, this international metropolis would be reduced to a mountain of corpses and blood, and more than 100 million Chinese and Japanese soldiers would shed blood here In addition, in the Huangpu River in Shanghai and the vast blue waters of China, Jiang Weiguo saw all kinds of foreign ships flying European, American, Japanese and other foreign flags. Occasionally, several murderous Japanese warships were seen in the sea. Driving unscrupulously on the river and sea, the blood-red sun flag fluttered majestically, as if this is not China's Shanghai Port, but Japan's Tokyo Bay.

Four years ago, the Chinese and Japanese armies broke out in Shanghai from January 1932 to March 1, 28. The "3 Songhu Anti-Japanese War" ended with another compromise by the Nationalist government. From then on, the Nationalist government was not allowed to station troops in Shanghai ( However, the Shanghai Police Corps and the Jiangsu Security Force can retain a total of several thousand troops), while the Japanese army can openly station marines in Shanghai, build fortifications, etc.

All the national government can do is "strongly protest" and "seriously condemn". Of course, these protests and condemnations are no different from farting to the Japanese.

Witnessing the Japanese doing their own thing and doing whatever they want in Chinese territory and Chinese territorial waters had to make Jiang Wei feel extremely angry and humiliated in his heart.

"I will change all this sooner or later!" Jiang Weiguo tried his best not to watch the scenes of national humiliation, and swore in his heart.

"There is no sea, no country, no defense, what a shame!" Jiang Baili beside Jiang Weiguo looked at this scene, and obviously felt indignant. He sighed long, and his words were full of extreme unwillingness. What a wonderful navy!"

"Be brave after knowing the shame! How can the Chinese work hard if they don't have a good taste of national humiliation and humiliation?" Jiang Weiguo sneered.

Jiang Baili turned around, with a sad expression on his face: "I really don't know if I can see my China become prosperous and strong in this life!"

Jiang Weiguo couldn't bear it slightly, and he said sincerely: "Mr. Baili, as long as you take good care of your body, you will definitely see it!" Jiang Weiguo knew that Jiang Baili's health was always poor, and he died of illness at the end of 1938 two years later. To the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in China.

Chapter 013 Going to Germany (3)

"Mr. Shen! Mr. Song! You are here!" By the wharf at Wusongkou in Shanghai, a group of people greeted them with joyful expressions. They were all vigorous and energetic young people.

Shen Siliang and Song Junfu walked up with a smile: "Well, are you all waiting?"

Jiang Weiguo followed up and asked with a smile: "These are the athletes who will represent our country in the Berlin Olympics?"

Shen Siliang nodded: "Yes!" He seemed to be a little emotional, "It's not easy for everyone!"

"Because of lack of funds?" Jiang Weiguo smiled, he had already guessed.

Shen Siliang showed a blushed expression: "Yes! Although everyone is full of enthusiasm and eager to win glory for the country in the Olympic Games, but... Alas! Second son, you are very clear about the situation in our country. Things are not very enthusiastic, so..." He was talking sadly, but he saw Jiang Weiguo raised his right hand to him, with two checks between his index finger and middle finger.

"Twenty thousand dollars!" Jiang Weiguo laughed, "Although it's not a huge amount of money, it should be able to alleviate your urgent needs a little bit!"

Shen Siliang's eyes widened in surprise, and Song Junfu and others surrounded him happily.

"Second...Second Young Master..." Shen Siliang took the check with excitement and disbelief, "Where did you get it?"

"My uncle and my uncle are coming!" Jiang Weiguo shrugged.

After learning from Chiang Kai-shek that the Chinese sports delegation was about to go to the Berlin Olympics, Jiang Weiguo realized that he had to do something for these Chinese sports pioneers, what to do?It must have been paid.

Jiang Weiguo is well aware of the plight of China's Olympic sports pioneers. During the Republic of China, China fell into a chaotic state of warlord separatism and internal and external troubles. Therefore, few powerful figures were interested in sports, including Jiang Weiguo's father, Chiang Kai-shek.

Chiang Kai-shek was busy "suppressing bandits" all day long, and at the same time he was terribly annoyed by the eradication of warlord separatist forces that were blooming all over the country. How could he care about such "nosy things" and would not do anything about it? In Chiang Kai-shek's view It is more cost-effective to spend money to support the Olympic teams than to buy guns and cannons.

Because there is no support from high-level real power, the development of Chinese sports is very bumpy. The main supporters are Wang Zhengting, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Nationalist Government, and Zhang Boling, President of Nankai University. They are the founders of modern Chinese sports. However, these two Chinese sports The pioneers of the cause only have the ability to move and organize, but they are short of money. Therefore, the process of the Chinese participating in the 1932th Los Angeles Olympic Games for the first time in 10 was almost tear-jerking. The athlete Liu Changchun was alone (there was originally another middle-distance runner Yu Xiwei from the Northeast, but he was absent because of the obstruction of the Japanese), and at that time the Northeast had fallen under the iron heel of the Japanese invaders. He was under too much pressure, so he was eliminated in the preliminary competition. When he returned to China, he was penniless, and the local overseas Chinese in Los Angeles gave him the travel expenses to return to China; Conditions are still difficult. Due to the lack of funds provided by the national government, the delegation, whether it is the leader or the team members, took the cheapest cabins, ate the cheapest meals, stayed in the cheapest hotels, and even slept on the ground during the journey from China to Germany. They sleep on the floor, but all the team members are not discouraged. They don't feel bitter or tired. They only want to represent their motherland and win glory in the Olympic Games. Their spirit has to be awe-inspiring.

Jiang Weiguo knew that the delegation was short of money. Historically, the Chinese delegation had insufficient funds. Members of the national martial arts team once went to Nanjing Daguangming Theater to perform, and the football team also performed in various places in Southeast Asia to raise donations.

Therefore, when Jiang Weiguo found out about the Olympics, he immediately went to his uncle, Minister of Finance Song Ziwen, and his uncle, Kong Xiangxi, president of the Central Bank (Song Meiling is Jiang Weiguo's "mother", Song Ziwen is Song Meiling's brother, naturally Jiang Weiguo's uncle; Kong Xiangxi is Song Meiling's brother-in-law , naturally Jiang Weiguo's uncle), through soft and hard foam, each of them got [-] US dollars from the two.

Jiang Weiguo wanted to strongly support the Chinese Olympic delegation, but he was so poor that it was not easy to get [-] US dollars.

"Second Young Master, thank you!" Shen Siliang, Song Junfu and others were very moved.

"It should be! What you are doing is a patriotic feat to win glory for the country. I just do my part!" Jiang Weiguo was very relieved.

"Baili!" "Dad!" In addition to the sports delegation, there were three other people waiting for Jiang Baili and his party by the pier, a middle-aged woman with a dignified appearance and clear features, and two girls, one big and one small. Years old, the little girl is twelve or thirteen years old.

Through the introduction, Jiang Weiguo knew that the three women were Jiang Baili's wife Jiang Zuomei, Jiang Baili's third daughter Jiang Ying, and fifth daughter Jiang He.

Jiang Weiguo secretly wanted to laugh, because Jiang Baili was obviously a Chinese military strategist famous for his research on China's war against Japan, but he married a Japanese wife (Ms. Jiang Zuomei is Japanese, formerly known as Sato Yadeng), and Jiang Baili's ability to give birth to a daughter Comparable to Duan Zhengchun, who gave birth to five children, all of whom were daughters.

Among the five daughters of Jiang Baili and Jiang Zuomei, the eldest daughter Jiang Zhao died of illness, the second daughter Jiang Yong was studying at the Chinese University of Hong Kong at this time, and the third daughter was Jiang Ying, who studied music, and went to Germany with Jiang Baili at this time. Studying abroad at the Berlin Conservatory of Music in Germany, the fourth daughter Jiang Hua is at the home of an overseas Chinese friend of Jiang Baili in Belgium, and the fifth daughter Jiang He is also in front of her, traveling abroad with her parents and third sister.

Jiang Weiguo looked at Jiang Ying with a smile. He knew that this little girl would marry Qian Xuesen, a famous scientist.

"Dad, who is he?" Jiang Ying looked at Jiang Weiguo strangely and asked Jiang Baili, "Why are you staring at me?"

Jiang Baili smiled and said, "Yinger, he is Jiang Weiguo, the chairman's second son!"

Jiang Ying laughed, and extended her hand generously to Jiang Weiguo: "Second Young Master Jiang, hello!"

Jiang Weiguo shook hands with Jiang Ying with a smile: "Miss Jiang, hello!"

While talking, the ship that everyone was going to take had begun to dock. It was a German ocean-going cargo ship called "Duke of Prussia". , It is widely used in industry.

Bristle is China's traditional export material, and its export volume ranks first in the world, accounting for 95% of the world's total bristle trade).

Everyone filed into the boat.

Jiang Weiguo, Jiang Baili and his party consisted of 14 people (Jiang Weiguo, Dai Anguo, Jin Dingguo, Sun Tao, Yang Mei, Jiang Baili, Liu Fengling, Yi Shuihan, Jiang Zuomei, Jiang Ying, Jiang He), and on board were Chinese nationals who were going to Germany to participate in the Berlin Olympics. There were a total of 69 sports representatives (including Shen Siliang and Song Junfu). Everyone gathered together, talking and laughing, and the excitement was extraordinary.

"Jianhao, you are Chairman Jiang's second son?" A young athlete in the sports delegation looked at Jiang Weiguo in amazement.

"Yeah..." Jiang Weiguo nodded, then waved his hand, "Low-key, low-key!"

"Jianhao, do you remember me? You and I are classmates at Soochow University!" The athlete was very surprised.

"Really?" Jiang Weiguo certainly didn't remember.

"My name is Cheng Jinguan!" The athlete was surprised and delighted, "Oh my God, I didn't expect that you are the second son of Chairman Jiang!"

Jiang Weiguo laughed, he must have been anonymous when he was studying at Soochow University, but at this time, Shen Siliang, Song Junfu and others knew his true identity, so everyone else in the sports delegation also knew.

This Cheng Jinguan and Jiang Weiguo are classmates in the university. They both study economics. They are sprinters. They are known as "Southern Chengbei Liu" in China. Liu Changchun, who China participated in the Olympic Games (that is, the last Los Angeles Olympic Games), and Liu Changchun is also on the boat at this time, and is also in the delegation, representing China in the Olympic Games for the second time.

In addition to Cheng Jinguan and Liu Changchun, there are many famous players in the delegation at this time, including pole vaulter Fu Baolu, boxers Wang Runlan, Jin Guidi, Jin Gui, Li Menghua, 110-meter hurdler Lin Shaozhou (Taiwanese), and The Chinese National Men's Football Team represented by Li Huitang, Chen Zhenhe, etc., and Shu Hong, a sports educator who will soon become the first Chinese referee in the Olympic Games, and others.

It is worth mentioning that the Chinese men's football team at this time was an "iron army" that swept the invincible players in East Asia. From 1913 to 1934, in the ten consecutive Far East Games, the Chinese men's football team won nine championships and one runner-up. The confrontation with the Japanese team was 5-1, 4-0 and other big scores, which made the Japanese team lose face. Some Japanese players were even afraid of confronting the Chinese men's football team, and the captain Li Huitang was even called "Asian football team King", "one of the world's top five football champions".

(Note: Most of these great sports pioneers joined the Anti-Japanese War after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, and many died for the country.

Jin Guidi died in the battle of Taierzhuang, Wang Runlan died with a grenade in his arms and Japanese tanks in the Battle of Zhanghe, Fu Baolu joined the air force and spilled blood in the air battle, Chen Zhenhe joined the air force and died in a plane crash.
