Battle of the Third Reich

v5 Chapter 346: Negotiation (on)

The Junker 52 transport plane painted with the black "Asia" sign of Eurasian Airlines landed at the Kalin Airport on the outskirts of Tokyo (Hanoi) in French Indochina under the drizzle of rain. ●⌒, during the Sino-German cooperation period, Lufthansa Germany and China established a famous Eurasian airline joint venture with a total investment of one million US dollars, China accounted for two-thirds of the shares, so a batch of Junker ju52/3m transport aircraft As part of the German investment, he entered the Chinese civil aviation operations team. Until 40 years, this kind of transport aircraft was still the best long-range transport model in Chinese civil aviation. Only a few dc2s owned by Chinese airlines could be called her competitors.

In the years when Germany's policy toward China changed, Eurasian Airlines suffered a certain impact. Germany has transferred many key pilots and technicians from the company, which has had a large impact on the company's development. But now the situation has changed again. With the adjustment of Germany’s Asian strategy, this airline will become an important link between the two countries and participate in the air traffic business of the colonies of China and South Asia. Enjoy the benefits, but it is enough to make it develop into a behemoth.

"They are finally here, a full hour late." Lieutenant Colonel Hans von Ludwig lowered his head and looked at his watch, then raised his wrist and gave a ready gesture to the men waiting by the runway.

"Stand up!" the team leader shouted the password loudly.

For this welcome ceremony, the Guard Brigade deployed a platoon of soldiers, all of whom are Germanic men with a height of more than 1.8 meters, full-fledged SS guards, black parade dresses, white armbands, and red eagles and white circle armbands. , A ceremonial decoration with a white clip on the chest and a silver wire, a 98k ceremonial rifle with a chrome-plated barrel, a kettle bladder and a black tropical tomahawk hanging around his waist, it looks majestic and majestic.

The plane slowly taxied to the guard of honor. The pilot opened the window of the cab and waved to the ground crew below to greet him. This plane has been carrying out flight operations between the two places. The crew and the ground personnel have already been mixed. . At present, only Eurasian Airlines aircraft dare to undertake outbound aviation business. Because the company background involves German capital, the Japanese Army and Navy Air Force encounters the ju52 logo, and generally does not launch an attack. Eurasian Airlines has become the sole operator of the Kunming-Hanoi route, and it has made a lot of money in this important exit channel.

Two Vietnamese ground crews hurried to the door with a simple foot ladder welded by steel pipes and iron plates. The flight attendants on the plane opened the cabin door and helped the ground crew to buckle the ladder in the groove on the threshold .

"Let's start playing." The conductor of the French military band saw the German commander's hand gestures and quickly waved the conductor's bell. The French colonial infantry Tokyo Infantry Regiment affiliated military band played a lively welcome song.

"Colonel, let's go." Lieutenant Colonel Ludwig turned to speak to Colonel Eugene von Davidson standing beside him.

"Well." Von Davidson tucked the monocle into the watch pocket, dragged the hem of the military uniform, and then strode up toward the plane.

At this time, the passengers on the plane had already started to disembark. The first to jump off were the two entourages, wearing gray tunic suits on the upper body, dark blue trousers on the lower body, and a blue and white KMT emblem on their chests. The two jumped directly from the doorway onto the runway, with light movements in sharp shapes, which apparently looked like a trainer. It is a pity that the Germans do not have such a concept at all. They are only wondering why this person does not have a ladder, so he has to jump down directly.

The two attendants guarded the door and carefully supported a rich middle-aged man on the ladder to fall to the ground. This person is the well-known Confucian **** of wealth, Kong Yongzhi, who holds the power of national government finances.

It was found that there was still drizzle in the sky, and another crew member who accompanied the plane opened the umbrella for it.

"Put up the umbrella." Kong Xiangxi pushed away the secretary's hand holding the umbrella.

"Look, all those Germans did not hold umbrellas. On this occasion, we should pay special attention to the national system." Kong Xiangxi whispered.

"Hi, Reinhardt! Welcome to Indochina, Mr. Minister." Colonel Davidson walked in front of Kong Xiangxi, his boots followed by a clean hand-raising ceremony, and then extended his hand to Kong Xiangxi.

"Hello, it's nice to meet you." After the accompanying interpreter, Kong Xiangxi quickly and warmly shook hands with each other. Someone in Kong had a good English, but German was not good. Last time I went to Germany to meet Hitler, it was all based on the government in Germany. Ambassador Chen Jie did the translation in the middle.

"I’m the assistant officer of the German Marshal Blumberg, Colonel Eugene von Davidson of the Army, this is Lieutenant Colonel Hans von Ludwig of the SS. You and your entourage were in French Indochina Lieutenant Colonel and his subordinates will be directly responsible for the safety and security work." Davidson introduced to Kong Xiangxi.

"Hi, Reinhardt! Good afternoon, Mr. Minister." Lieutenant Colonel von Ludwig saluted his hand.

"Hello, nice to meet you, Lieutenant Colonel." Kong Xiangxi reached out warmly to shake hands with the Lieutenant Colonel of the SS.

The last time he visited Germany was three or seven years. It was at the peak of Nazi Party activity in Germany. Hitler had just created several political, economic, and military miracles in a row. He likes to show the majesty of the Third Reich in front of outsiders. Kong Xiangxi was impressed by the strong military capacity displayed by the German Army and Hitler Guards at that time, so that when Chairman Jiang's mind was ready to declare war on Germany in 39, the most fierce opposition was the Minister of Finance. Fortunately, the arrogant British at that time directly rejected Jiang Zhongzheng's tentative proposal, otherwise the national government now faces the European coalition armed with teeth.

"Mr. Minister, please come with us. We have prepared the vehicle. Now we will send you and your entourage to the residence for a rest." Colonel Davidson made an invitation gesture. A team of flashy high-end cars drove to the apron.

"Thank you very much, Colonel." Kong Xiangxi nodded with a smile on his face.

Davidson and Kong Xiangxi were seated in a Mercedes-Benz in the middle, and the rest of the crew was arranged in the remaining vehicles.

Lieutenant Colonel Ludwig sat in the co-pilot position of the leading barrel truck and extended his arm to make a forward gesture. Six two-wheeled motorcycles and two three-wheeled motorcycles skimmed the bucket truck from both sides and roared. Then rushed towards the airport gate.

There was something wrong at home today. I took the time to write this, and the number of words was less. I will fill it with a big chapter tomorrow. (To be continued.)
