    If the turbulent and hostile Soviet Union made Zhang Xueliang feel like ice and snow, then Germany's reception of Zhang Xueliang was as hot as a ball of fire.  At 11 a.m. on November 5, Zhang Xueliang¡¯s special plane that took off from Moscow Airport had just entered the airspace of East Prussia, Germany. Eighteen German Air Force BF-108 fighter jets and FW-190 fighter jets flew towards us through the clouds and fog, with the "swastika" sign.  Shining brightly on the wings.  The German fleet formed in an orderly manner around Zhang Xueliang's special plane. The standard Chinese of the German pilots came from the intercom: "Welcome Marshal Zhang to Germany! We are here to greet and protect Marshal Zhang under the order of the head of state!"

    This scene made Zhang Xueliang laugh and say: "Hitler really gave me face. It was such a grand event before I even arrived in Berlin."

    At half past twelve, Zhang Xueliang¡¯s special plane landed steadily at Berlin Tagore Airport in the German capital.

    Getting out of the cabin, the scene in front of Zhang Xueliang seemed to have returned to the scene when he went to Nanjing to take up a post at the airport after the change of Northeast China's flag.  I saw tens of thousands of Germans forming a sea of ????people to welcome me. Countless dazzling Chinese and German banners among the deafening German slogans were rolling and dancing on the waves of people: "Welcome Marshal Zhang to Germany."  !¡± ¡°Long live Germany-China friendship!¡± etc., the Nazi swastika flag and the German Iron Cross flag were overwhelming.  What most attracted Zhang Xueliang's attention was that there were a large number of Chinese with black hair and yellow skin in the crowd who came to greet them. Overseas Chinese living in Germany, Chinese doing business in Germany, as well as Northeastern students and military cooperation personnel in Germany burst into tears and waved desperately.  The Chinese and German flags and the Northeastern Army flags shouted the slogan "Long live Marshal Zhang!" in the loudest Chinese.  Deeply infected by their enthusiasm, Zhang Xueliang smiled and waved frequently to say hello to his compatriots.

    At the end of the airport runway, German head of state Adolf Hitler personally led the commander-in-chief of the German Wehrmacht, Field Marshal Blomberg, the commander-in-chief of the army, General Baron Fritsch, the commander-in-chief of the navy, General Raeder, the commander-in-chief of the air force, Field Marshal Hermann Goering, and the army.  Commander-in-Chief of the Third Army, Colonel-General Fedormann von Bock, Army-General Wilhelm Keitel, Economics Minister Walter Funk, Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop, Director of the Central Security Bureau Heinrich, SS-General  Commander Himmler, Propaganda Minister Goebbels and other German military and political giants, as well as Lin Sen, chief advisor of the Northeast Advisory Group, greeted Zhang Xueliang at the airport.  The huge lineup and luxurious specifications made Zhang Xueliang speechless. Some of the famous German warriors in history also made Zhang Xueliang a feast for his eyes.  Among other things, the three famous German generals of World War II were all in the delegation welcoming him - Lieutenant General Heinz Guderian, the director of German armored forces, a man with a slightly gray beard and a resolute face; at this time, he served as the guard of Hitler's F¨¹hrer Guard  The tall Lieutenant General Erwin Rommel was indeed handsome and cool; Lieutenant General Fritz Manstein, the German Army's Chief Deputy Chief of Staff, disappointed Zhang Xueliang. He was just an ordinary old man.  But Zhang Xueliang knew very well that these people's heads were filled with the most advanced strategic thinking and the most outstanding military command talents of this era, and they should never be underestimated.

    Seeing Zhang Xueliang get off the plane, Hitler, who was wearing a Nazi military uniform, was beaming. He actually walked up to Zhang Xueliang with open arms from a distance and gave Zhang Xueliang a big hug as if he were meeting old friends.  Hitler's unexpected enthusiasm made Zhang Xueliang at a loss and got goosebumps all over his body. He was sweating in his heart: The history books said that Hitler suffered a crotch injury in World War I. Would he be able to fight with him now?  Rom also has a longyang habit and likes men, right?

    Hitler hugged Zhang Xueliang fiercely for a full minute before letting go. He still wore the Iron Cross on his chest that he had received for his meritorious service in World War I.  The iconic mustache under Hitler's nose was trembling with excitement. He placed his hands tightly on Zhang Xueliang's shoulders. The joyful light from his black eyes swept across Zhang Xueliang's face, "Thank God! My Marshal Zhang."  , I have been looking forward to having you here! Hahaha" Without waiting for Zhang Xueliang to reply, Hitler grabbed Zhang Xueliang and said impatiently, "Come on, come on! My dear Zhang, you came here from the other end of the earth. You have had a hard journey.  Yes! I have prepared a sumptuous lunch waiting for you!"

    Seeing Hitler and Zhang Xueliang coming together, all the top Nazi German generals and officials straightened their right arms and gave a Nazi salute, "Hi! Hitler!" The military band played with military music, and the honor guards of the German Wehrmacht in bright military uniforms lined up on both sides of the airport runway.  They unsheathed their sabers with the captain's "swish", raised their guns and saluted together, and at the same time shouted like a tsunami: "Hi! Hitler!".  The German army looks almost exactly the same as the Northeastern Army in terms of uniforms, equipment and formations. The only difference is that under the helmet, instead of the black eyes of yellow people, they have the blue eyes of white people.

    Zhang Xueliang looked at these people who were full of energy, confident in their eyes and with a hint of arrogance in their expressions.Well, no matter what his purpose was, at least Hitler was very loyal to himself.

    "In addition, the head of state has ordered the construction of the four 20,000-ton 'Scharnhorst' class battlecruisers ordered by you to be accelerated. If nothing else happens, these four battleships will be officially completed in June of next year.  And delivered to your navy," Ribbentrop continued.

    "That's great!" Zhang Xueliang excitedly held Hitler's hand tightly.  Hitler said sincerely: "While the German Imperial Navy is growing, we sincerely wish and are willing to do everything we can to help our friend the Chinese Navy develop rapidly. In the future, when the German Navy is crossing the Atlantic, we also very much hope to see China  The Navy can dominate the Western Pacific."

    "If the future enemy of the German Army is the French Army, then the future enemy of the German Navy will probably be the British Royal Navy of the old naval empire. If Germany wants to become strong, it must have a modern and powerful navy! A nation that masters and controls the ocean can  Continuously develop and advance." Zhang Xueliang said.

    "Yes, Marshal Zhang, what you said is absolutely true. We have learned the lessons of the German Navy in the last European war. As for the suggestions you and Mr. Lin gave to our country's navy construction, I and the old stubborn Rader of the Navy Ministry basically agree.  Once adopted. The future German Navy will, like the Northeastern Navy, use aircraft carriers and submarines as its main combat forces. The two 42,000-ton aircraft carriers "Bismarck" and "Tirpitz" of the Reich have already been commissioned at the beginning of this year.  Construction started and is expected to be commissioned into the Imperial Navy by the end of 1940. Their advent will surely shock the world! Moreover, the German shipyards are also building two medium-sized aircraft carriers, the 'Graf Zeppelin' and the 'Peter Strasser'!  Hitler became more and more excited as he spoke, "In addition, the German Navy will gradually have four 'Deutschland' class light battleships, four 'Scharnhorst' class battlecruisers, and eight 'Prince Eugen' class heavy-duty battleships."  Cruisers and eight 'K?nigsberg' class light cruisers, as well as more than 300 new U-type submarines, and a large number of destroyer frigates!"

    "Your Excellency, the naval aviation also needs to be vigorously developed, otherwise the German navy will have a hard time fighting the enemy under the unfavorable conditions of losing air supremacy." Zhang Xueliang reminded, seeing the slight hesitation and embarrassment on Hitler's face, Zhang Xueliang calmly said  He said, "F¨¹hrer, please listen to me. The interests of the country and the nation are above all else, including personal desires." The "individual" in Zhang Xueliang's words refers to the German Air Force Marshal G?ring. He strongly opposed the navy's own aviation force and repeatedly shouted  "Everything that can fly in Germany is under my control."  Since he was a Nazi veteran and had a very good personal relationship with Hitler, Hitler did not want to disgrace him and turned a blind eye to his monopoly on the German aviation power.  After listening to Zhang Xueliang's words, Hitler nodded thoughtfully and said: "Marshal Zhang, what you said makes sense, I will consider it carefully."

    Looking at the rapidly growing German navy, Zhang Xueliang couldn't help but think about the naval force of the Northeast Army.  At this time, the Northeast Army Navy already had 24 "Tieling" class destroyers, 30 "Lushun" class frigates, and more than 50 submarines. At the same time, Zhang Xueliang personally assigned five aviation groups to the Northeast Army Naval Aviation Force.  But the navy of the Northeast Army is still too weak. If China wants to become truly strong, it must have a powerful navy like the German Navy!

    Zhang Xueliang was warmly invited by Hitler to stay for two days at Hitler's private residence in Berghof.  During this period, Zhang Xueliang met with the naval officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army who were training at the seaport of Kiel, Germany, and the pilots of the Northeast Army who were training in Bremen.  After appraising a series of "Alliance and Cooperation Treaties between Germany and Germany" with Hitler, Zhang Xueliang returned with a full load and left Germany at Hitler's reluctance for the next stop on his European journey - France.
