Chapter 346: Negotiation (I)

The Junkers 52 transport plane, painted with the black "Asia" logo of Eurasia Airlines, slowly landed at Jialin Airport on the outskirts of Tokyo (Hanoi) in French Indochina. During the period of Sino-German cooperation, Lufthansa and China established a joint venture to establish a well-known Eurasian airline, with a total investment of one million US dollars, and the Chinese side accounted for two-thirds of the shares, so a batch of Junkers JU52/3M transport aircraft entered the operation team of China's civil aviation as part of the German investment. Until 40 years, this transport aircraft is still the best long-range transport model in China's civil aviation, and only a few DC2s owned by Chinese airlines can be called her competitors.

In the years when Germany's policy towards China changed, Eurasia Airlines was affected to a certain extent, and Germany transferred back many key pilots and technicians from the company, which had a great impact on the company's development. But now the situation is different, and with the realignment of Germany's Asian strategy, this airline will become an important link between the two countries, and its participation in the air traffic business between China and the South Asian colonies will not be able to benefit alone, but it will be enough to develop into a behemoth.

"They finally came, a full hour late." Hans. Feng. Lieutenant Colonel Ludwig looked down at his watch, then raised his wrist and made a preparatory gesture to his men waiting on the side of the runway.

"Stand upright!" The lead officer shouted the command.

For this welcome ceremony, the guard brigade dispatched a platoon of soldiers, all of whom were Germanic strong men over 1.8 meters tall, fully equipped with SS salute equipment, black parade uniforms, white armed belts, red ground and white circled black eagle armbands on their arms, white ceremonial ornaments with silver threads on their chests, holding 98K ceremonial rifles with chrome barrels, and water bottle sacs and black tropical tomahawks hanging from their waists.

The plane slowly taxied in front of the honor guard, the pilot opened the window of the cab, and waved to the ground crew below. At present, only the aircraft of Eurasia Airlines dare to undertake the outbound aviation business, because the company's background involves German capital, and the Japanese army and naval aviation units generally do not launch attacks when they encounter the JU52 marked with Asian characters. Eurasia Airlines became the sole operator of the Kunming-Hanoi route, making a lot of money on this important outbound channel.

Two Vietnamese ground crews walked to the door with a simple ladder made of steel pipes and iron plates, and the flight attendants opened the cabin door and helped the ground crew buckle the ladder into the groove on the threshold.

"Start playing." The commander of the French military band saw the gesture of the German commander and hurriedly waved the command bell, and the military band attached to the Tokyo Infantry Regiment of the French colonial infantry played a lively welcome music.

"Colonel, let's go." Lieutenant Colonel Ludwig turned to Eugene who was standing beside him. Feng. Army Colonel Davidson said.

"Hmm." Feng. Davidson tucked his monocle into his watch pocket, tugged at the hem of his uniform, and strode toward the plane with his chest straightened.

At this time, the passengers on the plane had already begun to disembark, and the first to jump down were two attachés, wearing gray tunics on the upper body, navy blue trousers on the bottom, and the blue and white Kuomintang emblem pinned to their chests. The two of them jumped directly from the door to the runway, their bodies were light and neat, and they looked obviously Lianjiazi. It's a pity that the Germans don't have this concept at all, and they only wonder why these ******** people don't need a ladder and jump down.

Two attachés guarded the door, carefully supporting a somewhat rich middle-aged man to step on the ladder and fall to the ground. This person is the famous Confucian god of wealth Kong Yongzhi, who holds the financial power of the national government, and is regarded as a confidant by the chairman of the National Committee, and is regarded as a prominent figure who is relied on like a right-hand man.

Finding that it was still drizzling in the sky, another attaché who accompanied him off the plane opened an umbrella for him.

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

"Look, those Germans don't have umbrellas, and you need to pay special attention to the national body on this occasion." Kong Xiangxi reprimanded in a low voice.

"Hi Reinhardt! Welcome to Indochina, Mr. Minister. Colonel Davidson walked up to Kong Xiangxi, saluted neatly with the heel of his boots, and then stretched out his hand to Kong Xiangxi.

"Hello, nice to meet you." After the accompanying interpreter, Kong Xiangxi hurriedly shook hands with the other party enthusiastically, Kong is good at English, German is not good at all, the last time he went to Germany to meet Hitler, it all relied on the translation done by Chen Jie, the ambassador to Germany.

"I am the lieutenant of Field Marshal Brünnberg of Germany, Colonel Eugene. Feng. Davidson, this is the SS Hans. Feng. Lieutenant Colonel Ludwig. The Lieutenant Colonel and his subordinates will be directly responsible for the security of you and your attaché while in French Indochina. Davidson introduced to Kong Xiangxi.

"Hi Reinhardt! Good afternoon, Mr. Minister. "Feng. Lieutenant Colonel Ludwig saluted.

"Hello, nice to meet you, Lieutenant Colonel." Kong Xiangxi enthusiastically stretched out his hand to shake hands with the SS lieutenant colonel.

His last visit to Germany was three or seven years ago, at the height of Nazi Party activity in Germany, and Hitler had just created several political, economic, and military miracles in a row, and he liked to show the majesty of the Third Reich to outsiders. At that time, Kong Xiangxi was deeply impressed by the strong military appearance displayed by the German Army and Hitler's Guard Banner, so much so that when Chairman Chiang was hot-headed and ready to declare war on Germany in 39, it was the Minister of Finance who opposed it the most. Fortunately, the arrogant British at that time directly rejected Chiang Zhongzheng's tentative suggestion, otherwise the national government would now be facing the European coalition forces armed to the teeth.

"Mr. Minister, please come with us, we have our vehicles ready, and now we will send you and your attaché to your residence for a short rest." Colonel Davidson made an inviting gesture. A team of glittering limousines drove up to the tarmac.

"Thank you very much, Colonel." Kong Xiangxi smiled and nodded yes.

Davidson and Kong Xiangxi got into a Mercedes-Benz in the middle, and the rest of the attachés were arranged into the rest of the vehicles.

Lieutenant Colonel Ludwig sat in the co-pilot seat of the lead barrel truck, stretched out his arms and made a forward gesture, and six two-wheeled motorcycles and two three-wheeled motorcycles that were responsible for opening the way swept past the barrel cars from both sides, roaring towards the airport gate.

Something suddenly happened at home today, and I took the time to write this, and the number of words was less, and I will make up for it with a big chapter tomorrow. (To be continued.) )
