Chapter 4: The Fall of Berlin

The opening ceremony was not the moment when German track and field athlete Fritz Hilgen lit the Olympic flame, nor was it the moment when former IOC president Coubertin delivered a passionate speech, but the moment when German head of state Adolf Hitler entered the rostrum

The audience stood up and cheered. The thundering crowds were surging in the stadium. The earth was shaking, and the SS was responsible for guarding the field. The soldiers were all young blonde men over 1.8 meters tall. They were tall and arrogant. Their black military uniforms, steel helmets, breeches, leather boots.

Hitler is not tall and wears a yellow Nazi uniform. He is too far away to see his appearance. But when he comes to Berlin, he has been used to seeing the huge photos of the head of state in the streets and alleys. He knows what this man looks like.

The head of state began to speak and announced that the 11th Olympic Games began. Chen Zikun couldn't understand German, but it could be heard that Hitler was very eloquent and spoken without writing. It seemed that there was a special magic. It was indeed the people who could bring out the German nation, which had a severe disaster after the European war, out of the quagmire.

Yao Yilei raised a simple folding telescope produced by Zeiss and looked at it, "Hitler is not as good as a king."

The cheers around her suppressed her voice. All the Germans' eyes shone with fanatical brilliance. Coupled with countless five-story Nazi flags and German eagles with ten thousand words on their feet, they were naturally infected even if they were not Germans.

Power, order, and fanaticism. This is the impression that the opening ceremony of the Berlin Olympics left on Chen Zikun

Germany was prosperous and vibrant in 1936. People's living standards were booming. Walking on the streets of Electors, you can feel the great German nation's great windows. There are a wide range of goods. The road is full of Mercedes and Porsche cars. It is said that Hitler designed a national sedan for the German people, like a beetle. Unfortunately, it has not been mass-produced. I have seen a few such a wealthy and orderly country. It is hard to imagine that ten years ago, the defeat of inflation and land cedes compensation.

This is a brand new Germany. Great Germany. No wonder Chiang Kai-shek admires Hitler very much. In fact, many voices in the domestic intellectual community highly praised this national socialist model. They believe that it is a good medicine to save China.

On August 2, the sprint preliminaries started. Chen Zikun brought his family to the stadium and waited to watch Cheng Shi's game with confidence. Even if he performed poorly, it would be a sure thing. Cheng Shi did not appear on the field. Only Chinese players Liu Changchun and Cheng Jinguan participated and were eliminated in the first round.

Chen Zikun was shocked and hurriedly found the delegation leader to ask, it turned out that Cheng Shi received a banquet from several overseas Chinese in Germany and had a meal last night and started to have diarrhea after returning to the Olympic Village until he was dehydrated in the morning. Now he has been sent to the hospital for treatment and still has the energy to participate in the competition.

When I came to the hospital, I saw Cheng Shi lying on the hospital bed with a shame and crossing the ocean to Germany to earn face for the Chinese nation, but I fell down before I got on the stage and had no face to face my father in Jiangdong.

Cheng Shi was struggling to get up and wanted to apologize to Chen Zikun. He walked over and said a few words to the doctor who said: "He didn't eat his stomach but was poisoned. We found a strong poison from his excrement. Fortunately, the patient had a strong constitution. If he was an ordinary person, his life would probably be lost."

Everyone looked at each other and fear spread. Cheng Shi was the dark horse of the Chinese delegation. The news that he defeated Owens during a warm-up spread throughout Berlin. Everyone knows that China did not win gold medals and silver medals this time. But he did not know that the dark horse was so sad that he didn't even participate in the preliminary round. He was poisoned.

Chen Zikun was furious, but he had no choice but to seek help from both people and land. The German police turned a blind eye to such things and could not count on the delegation and the Chinese, so he had to investigate on his own. The so-called overseas Chinese who hosted Cheng Shi on the night before the competition were not Chinese at all.

It just so happened that Jiang Baili, a senior advisor to the Military Commission, came to Germany to negotiate military cooperation. Jiang is an old man from Beiyang. He once served as the principal of Baoding Military Academy. He was the chief of staff for Wu Peifu. Now he is a member of the Military Commission and has some interactions with Chen Zikun. He came in his official capacity and could put pressure on the German side. Chen Zikun went to visit Jiang Baili.

Although both generals are members of the Military Commission, Jiang Baili is an old senior after all, Chen Zikun is a disciple and polite. When Jiang Baili said that he would negotiate with Germany through the channels.

Meeting an old friend in a foreign land is a great joy in life. Although Chen Zikun and Jiang Baili are not close friends, they feel very kind to meet in a foreign land. Chen Zikun invited Jiang Baili to have dinner at Brandenburg Hotel and Jiang Baili happily agreed.

At the banquet, Jiang Baili brought a man and a woman, two young men. The man was about twenty years old and handsome. The girl was born at the age of sixteen or seventeen. The country was beautiful and beautiful. Chen Zikun smiled and said, "Brother Baili is a pair of good children."

Jiang Baili laughed and said, "This guy is my assistant, deputy, Chairman Jiang Weiguo, the second son of Chairman Jiang Weiguo, this is my daughter Jiang Ying."

Jiang Weiguo stepped forward to salute: "Hello General Chen"

Jiang Ying also said: "Hello Uncle Chen" voice is so graceful and crisp and pleasant.

Chen Zikun said: "Seeing you young people, my bad mood suddenly improved. Shuangxi went to call the young master and the lady down."

Originally, Chen Zikun didn't plan to let his children attend the banquet. Since Jiang Baili brought his daughter to him, he called Xiaobei and Yan'er and let the young people get to know each other in the future and take care of him.

Although Xiaobei is only fifteen years old, he is tall and has been with his father, and he has been intimate and has many experiences with Jiang Weiguo, who is five years older than him. He has no sense of generation gap. Instead, he talks like a while at first sight. Yan'er and Jiang Ying are both girls. They are still young girls. They are still able to play together before they learn to be jealous.

The food is German-style bacon, with sausages and elbows and stout beer. Chen Zikun sighed: "Hitler preached the supremacy of Aryans, which was completely nonsense. Eating elbows and drinking beer all day long. Isn't this good physique good? If we Chinese eat such good things all day, we must be able to be burly and big waists in the Olympic Games."

Jiang Baili smiled and said, "Although my brother Kunwu's words are plain, it is not unreasonable. China is a farming nation that has always been invaded by the nomadic peoples in the north. It has taken a lot of reasons. Not to mention eating meat all day long. In the poor and mountainous areas of the northern land, farmers can't even eat coarse grains. So we are called the sick men of East Asia by the great powers. They hope that we will always be weak so that we can bully and invade them. Among them, Japan is the most powerful and suppressing China everywhere. This incident of athlete poisoning must be done by the Japanese."

Chen Zikun said: "It is very likely that Japan is afraid that China will win medals and have a strong popularity to affect their aggression plan, so it took this trick."

...

Although Jiang Baili has an official identity, it is not so effective. The German police still make false promises to deal with the matter. After all, this case is too small and cannot be enough to file a case. As for you Chinese people who say that the gold medal that has been calculated and obtained is flying. It is your own words that cannot be used as evidence.

However, a few days later, the German police's head became bigger. A vicious murder and robbery occurred somewhere. Several Asians were killed. It is found that these people were all businessmen from Japan and North Korea.

During the Olympic Games, the police made great efforts to investigate, but no clues eventually turned into a headless case

After the case, Cheng Shi's condition improved quickly and he had a smile on his face when he saw someone.

The news that all Chinese players did not enter the rematch was not unexpected. The Olympic spirit is to participate in the Chinese team's crossing the ocean to Berlin, which is not easy to win medals. This is a luxury, so no one blames Cheng Shi. They just think it's a pity that Cheng Shi failed to run on the Olympics.

The half-month Olympic Games finally concluded. Chen Zikun and his family bought a lot of things. They bought several imitations of German sausages and beer with torches. Of course, they bought a lot of firearms produced in Germany.

Cheng Shi followed the Chinese Olympic delegation to return home by boat with the Chen family to continue traveling in Europe and went shopping to Paris, London, and Rome. Finally, he flew directly to New York.

After fourteen years, Chen Zikun came to Mario Pacino, the United States, to pick up the plane. The young Italian man who was in the wind in Yushu, has now become a fat mafia. The head of the man was wearing a suit and sweating. Ten black and shiny Lincoln sedans were parked behind him.

"Dear Chen, I've met again. I heard that you have become a general and have not congratulated you in person." Mario gave him a warm bear hug and then his expression froze. He stared at Yao Yilei, Jian Bing, Xia Xiaoqing and Liu Ting who were coming down the gangway.

"Friend, don't tell me that these are your wife, otherwise Mario will die of jealousy." Mario suddenly laughed out loud

"Unfortunately, you guessed it right, basically it was." Chen Zikun smiled and introduced him to the wife from the East. She greeted her gently in English. Mario also acted like an authentic gentleman instead of a mafia leader.

Previously, Chen Zikun had commissioned the Percino family to buy a property in New York. Located in Manhattan, the bustling Manhattan, there are fifteen bedrooms and huge living room. The family happened to check in at the evening to go to the old man Anthony's house to have authentic Italian cuisine.

The old man Anthony is already in his seventies and still has a strong body. He expressed his warm welcome to Chen Zikun's family. But he was a little dissatisfied with Chen Zikun's children. According to Italian tradition, at least a room of children are born.

Mario gave birth to four children, two boys and two girls, playing and making fun in the house, two boys played darts and had a mess. Xiaobei was sitting very reserved, but she couldn't stand it. She picked up a dart and shook her hand and hit Bullsey. She quickly handed the darts on the left and right Xiaobei opened the bows and hit Bullsey.

Even Mario was shocked that the person who played the best in the Percino family could not do this

While having supper, the white cat was still walking around elegantly on the dining table. Chen Zikun touched it and shook her hair disapprovingly.

"This is Jimmy Old Kate's son Poor Kate died last winter We are all old. Children are just looking at this kids that are similar to your spirits back then." Old man Anthony looked at Xiaobei Road

Chen Zikun said: "I want to keep my son in your house and ask you to teach him to be an upright man."

Yao Yilei and Jian Bing were surprised that Xia Xiaoqing didn't understand English and looked confused. Old Anthony smiled: "I'm so honored that Mario is the godfather of this child. Although he is a yellow man, I think no one in New York dares to bully the children of the Percino family."
