In the original history, not only were Chinese athletes not taken seriously, but the martial arts performance team members were also completely ignored in the beginning.
At first, they were arranged to perform at a camping party. There was no special bus to transport them, so the team members had to carry their weapons and squeeze into the bus.
It's completely conceivable to see that scene, with Zheng Huaixian holding a flying fork, Liu Yuhua with double knives on his back, Jin Shisheng with a nine-section whip wrapped around his waist, Zhang Wenguang with a plum blossom knife hanging on his waist... The most terrifying thing is Kou Yunxing, dragging a 64-pound pass with him.
Knife, I don’t know if I need to pay for it.
This group of people are pointed at everywhere they go, just like looking at clowns.
As a result, the first performance was extremely successful, and they were all transported by special vehicles from then on. Not only did they perform at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, they were also invited to tour in Hamburg, Frankfurt, Munich and other big cities, and were even specially received by Hitler. Among them, Jin Shisheng was still retained
, became a combat instructor for the Nazi SS.
The martial arts team members made a splash in Berlin. The Chinese athletes who actually participated in the competition almost came to Germany to make soy sauce, and no one paid any attention to them.
But it's different now. Because of Zhou Hexuan's existence, the Chinese delegation received very high treatment.
As soon as everyone arrived at the Berlin Olympic Village, "Village Chief" David came to greet him personally: "Welcome friends from China to the Berlin Olympic Village! I am Dürer David, director of the Olympic Village Management Committee."
"Hello, Mr. David." Zhou Hexuan stepped forward to shake hands and began to introduce the main members.
Although David looked down on the Chinese from the bottom of his heart, his attitude was very low.
There's no way it's too low!
Hitler made a phone call to the Minister of the Interior, who in turn called the official in charge of sports. This was passed down from level to level, and they all said that they would receive the Chinese delegation well. How could a small person like David dare to disobey the order? He quickly arrived in advance
Open the Olympic Village and come to greet them in person.
David took the Chinese delegation around the Olympic Village and then asked them to choose houses at will. There was only one requirement, that is, all Chinese must live in the same building.
After confirming where to live, David asked people to bring bedding and other supplies, and said: "The circuit from the Olympic Village to the city has not been connected yet. I will ask people to send some candles. I hope everyone can make do with it. As for dining,
, the canteen in the Olympic Village is not open yet. I have arranged a special car and driver, you can go to a nearby restaurant to solve the problem. Please forgive me if there is poor reception!"
"No, no, your country has thought very carefully. We are the ones who disturbed you." Wang Zhengting said quickly.
Everyone placed their luggage and immediately headed to the stadium to familiarize themselves with the route.
In addition to the main venue of the Berlin Olympic Stadium, Hitler also built eight other stadiums for the Olympic Games. These stadiums alone cost 25 million US dollars, plus the Olympic Village, TV screens, squares and other supporting facilities, a total of millions of people in Germany were
employment issues.
The main stadium is too big and has not been completely completed, so Chinese athletes are arranged to train in other venues.
Since he had received orders from his superiors long ago, Zhou Hexuan's residence had unimpeded access. Everyone was given a badge, which proved that they could enter and leave the venue freely, and could even take buses and trams for free on certain lines.
Wang Zhengting was a diplomat. Because he refused to sign at the Paris Peace Conference and worked with Lu Zhengxiang to win China's admission to the League of Nations, he was widely praised by domestic public opinion. After the September 18th Incident, Wang Zhengting, as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, became
The biggest scapegoat for the "non-resistance policy" sadly bid farewell to the political stage.
Recalling the diplomatic humiliation he had suffered over the years, Wang Zhengting had a very good impression of Germany at this moment and said with emotion: "The Germans are still very honest in doing things. They treat us like distinguished guests and we feel at home!"
Cheng Tianfang laughed and said: "That's Mr. Zhou's face."
"Indeed, I would like to thank Mr. Zhou." Wang Zhengting said with a smile.
Cheng Tianfang added: "Compared to the arrogance of Britain, France, the United States and Japan, the Germans do respect us more. Seven years ago, when Mr. Yu Yan (Jiang Zuobin) went to Germany as minister, the German government sent a float to the German-Swiss border to greet him. When the float arrived in Berlin,
There are more than 20 senior German officials waiting to welcome him, and the scene is said to be extremely grand. This is a treatment that our diplomats have never received. For this reason alone, Germany is a good friend of China."
Wang Zhengting nodded and said: "The poem goes: I gave papayas and repaid them with Qiongyao. Germany is benevolent and righteous, and China should repay it with benevolence and righteousness. I hope that the two countries will cooperate more closely in the future."
What does it mean to be poor and short-minded?
This is.
At this time, China was backward and weak, and was discriminated against wherever it went. When Germany showed some sincerity, Chinese diplomats were immediately flattered and regarded the other party as a reliable and good brother.
Wang Zhengting can be considered a person who has seen the world. He went to the Paris Peace Conference and was moved by the warm reception today. He is already showing signs of becoming a German fan.
Zhou Hexuan quickly changed the subject and asked: "Cousin Ru, how much funding has the central government approved for this Olympics?"
"210,000 yuan, actually 170,000, is already pretty good." Wang Zhengting said with a wry smile.
The 40,000 yuan that disappeared was undoubtedly embezzled, and the actual number was normal.
The funding of 170,000 yuan is not small, and the relocation of cultural relics from the Forbidden City only costs 60,000 yuan. As a result, the control power of 60,000 yuan triggered a conflict between Zhang Ji and Yi Peiji, and an unjust case of treasure theft from the Forbidden City emerged.
But when the money is shared evenly, it seems to be a stretch, with only 2,000 yuan per person.
Well, it's almost enough for round-trip travel expenses, and there's still half a month's worth of food left, which is enough to support the expenses during the Olympics. Government officials are really careful with their budgets.
It's just that these four months of training have to be paid for out of pocket, and it is absolutely impossible for the Nanjing government to provide funds.
Zhou Hexuan asked: "How big of a gap is there?"
"At least 150,000." Wang Zhengting said.
Zhou Hexuan thought for a while and said: "200,000, let the team members eat well, and I will pay for it."
Wang Zhengting expressed gratitude: "Mr. Zhou, on behalf of everyone, I would like to thank you for your generous funding. I will work hard to get the medal!"
Zhou Hexuan is not afraid of Wang Zhengting embezzling public funds, not because of how upright and honest this person is, but because Wang Zhengting has political ambitions to pursue an official career. How could Wang Zhengting be willing to take the blame and step down because of his non-resistance in September 18th? He supports the Olympics so actively,
I just want to make a comeback.
If Chinese athletes can win Olympic medals, Wang Zhengting will be so awesome that he might be able to return to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Compared with being an official, a small amount of money is nothing, and Wang Zhengting can still handle it. Not only did he not take the opportunity to commit corruption, but he also threw money at the Olympic delegation. This is a hugely profitable political investment, and there will be huge returns if it succeeds.
Success is only a small loss.
After agreeing on the funding issue, Zhou Hexuan said to Sun Yongzhen: "Go and find someone to figure it out."
"Okay." Sun Yongzhen was gearing up. Seeing so many masters coming, he had long wanted to give it a try.
Sun Yongzhen approached Kou Yunxing directly, and the other party readily accepted it and said with a smile: "Then just two moves."
Hearing that there was a martial arts competition, other team members immediately came to watch. Sun Yongzhen and Kou Yunxing greeted each other with fists, then each took a stance, tested it out and started to attack.
Kou Yunxing practices "Wu Zi Plum Blossom Fist", which is a typical bodyguard martial art. The more essential skills are on swords, guns, sticks and other weapons.
After the two fought, Kou Yunxing took advantage of his strong body and long legs to launch an unreasonable and crazy attack. His leg skills were particularly amazing, and he didn't kick very high, so he kicked Sun Yongzhen's calf sideways.
Sun Yongzhen tried to use Bagua Bu to get closer several times, but Kou Yunxing kept the distance away, and then continued to use Tan Kung Fu to kick hard.
In just three minutes, Sun Yongzhen suddenly shouted: "No more fighting, no more fighting, my legs will be swollen from being kicked!"
"Hahaha," Kou Yunxing laughed and clasped his fists, "I accept it, I accept it!"
Sun Yongzhen returned to the sidelines and heard Zhou Hexuan ask: "Is this Master Kou very powerful?"
"He has long legs, it's unreasonable," Sun Yongzhen looked aggrieved, and added, "Use weapons to fight for life and death. Well, I can compete with him. I don't need fists and kicks, it's because he is great! His body skills are also very good, completely
I can't find any flaws, he must be someone who often fights."
The so-called body technique, when put into the modern fighting arena, is actually controlling the distance with steps. Fighting masters have a strong sense of distance and always maintain a position that is neither far nor close, so that you cannot attack him effectively and you are always in front of him.
within the attack range.
If you encounter a master who can control the distance and your hands and feet are shorter than his, then be prepared to admit defeat.
In fact, this is the same as playing basketball and football. Those who are good at dribbling past others are masters who are good at controlling distance.
This sense of distance is not something that comes from practice, but from fighting. The so-called "martial arts masters" who practice routines hard but don't actually fight will never learn it in their lifetime. They can blindly scratch people with their hands, and they don't know what to do if they are beaten.
Something's going on.
Therefore, future generations of martial artists who grew up in greenhouses will never be able to defeat fighting athletes because of the lack of actual combat. You can't even touch other people's shadows.
Zhou Hexuan couldn't help but ask: "How does he compare with Xue Dian?"
Sun Yongzhen thought for a while and said: "Xue Dian definitely can't win in the fist and kick competition. He can only escape. With weapons, Kou Yunxing lay down directly, with no chance of survival. Crazy Xue's movement skills are too scary, and his speed is also very fast."
