    At about 9 a.m. on the 11th, Zhang Xueliang¡¯s plane arrived at the Paris Airport in France.

    The relationship between the Chinese and French governments has always been lukewarm, and the relationship between Germany, a die-hard ally of the Northeastern Army, and France has been tense due to disputes over the Treaty of Versailles, the garrison in the Rhineland, and Czechoslovakia.  , so the Paris government did not do any welcoming ceremony for Zhang Xueliang.  There were only a dozen or so official French representatives greeted at the airport, and the highest-ranking one among them was only the deputy director of the Secretariat, and the so-called "greeting" was to come up and say something like "Welcome to France" to Zhang Xueliang.  After the polite words, he left directly without making any arrangements for the food, clothing, housing and transportation of Zhang Xueliang and others during their stay in Paris.  Liu Duoquan, Gao Jiyi and others were angry and scolded the French for being stingy, but this did not affect Zhang Xueliang's happy mood, not to mention that there was no one at the airport to warmly welcome Zhang himself.  In order to avoid Zhang Xueliang's embarrassment, the representative of the Chinese Nanjing Government Embassy in France who followed the French did not greet Zhang Xueliang until after the Paris government officials left. The same black hair and yellow skin made the Northeastern visitors stand out.  The leader was Gu Weijun, the Ambassador of the Republic of China to France. His native Chinese made Zhang Xueliang and others feel very cordial: "Welcome! Welcome to Marshal Zhang and all of you to France!"

    "Thank you, Ambassador Gu, for welcoming me! It's like meeting compatriots in a faraway land! It's been almost seven years and we meet again!" Zhang Xueliang smiled and held his hand.  The majestic and upright Chinese ambassador in front of me is Gu Weijun, known as the "first diplomat of the Republic of China". He argued hard for my country's Shandong sovereignty issue at the Paris Conference in 1919 after World War I, in order to safeguard China's sovereignty. It has made great contributions to the dignity and interests of the nation.  Zhang Xueliang also had a close relationship with him. After the change of Northeast China in 1929, Gu Weijun traveled back and forth between Peking and Nanjing many times and solved a large number of diplomatic problems left to Zhang Xueliang by the Beiyang government, so Zhang Xueliang was deeply impressed by him.

    "Haha, yes, the young commander is still as handsome as ever! I wonder what we can do for you?" Gu Weijun looked enthusiastic.

    "Ambassador Gu, Han Qing came to France this time just to visit French attractions and admire French culture in a private capacity. He has no other intentions. Ambassador Gu, please don't worry too much. It's just that the place where I will live has not been confirmed yet, so I just want to live in Ambassador  I wonder if this is possible in the museum?" Zhang Xueliang was not polite.

    Gu Weijun smiled and said: "Oh, that's great. It's really an honor for all the staff of our embassy! Welcome young marshal."

    Sitting in the special car that the embassy took to welcome him, Zhang Xueliang, who was running all the way, carefully looked at this world-renowned city. Looking at the modern pavilions and pavilions with French national characteristics outside, Zhang Xueliang murmured in his heart.  , they say that our Shanghai is the "Little Paris of the East". I think this Paris is pretty ordinary except for those beautiful French girls with blond hair and blue eyes!

    At this time, the city of Paris was a boiling sea, and the excitement was no less than that of Berlin that welcomed Zhang Xueliang, but this had nothing to do with Zhang Xueliang's arrival, because November 11 was an important day, marking the first time that the world  Armistice Day (not Singles¡¯ Day).  When Zhang Xueliang's motorcade drove near the Arc de Triomphe, a famous scenic spot in Paris, the streets and alleys in front of him were crowded with French people in brightly colored clothes.  The rolling crowd formed a mighty procession and marched on the main street, and people were in a state of excitement; the crowd was loud, and everyone was shouting at the top of their lungs; among the loud slogans, forest-like placards were scattered among the crowd.  Waving from above, huge propaganda posters showed crossed patterns of cannons and airplanes.  Zhang Xueliang also carefully discovered that there were a large number of French World War I veterans wearing old-style military uniforms and missing arms and legs in the crowd.  "Ambassador Gu, what are these French people doing? What do the slogans they hold mean?" Zhang Xueliang asked Gu Weijun strangely.

    "Oh, Marshal, these French people are holding anti-war demonstrations. They are also shouting some anti-war slogans, 'maintain peace and reject war', 'we want butter not cannons' and so on. Those slogans also mean the same thing.  ." Gu Weijun replied.

    Because the main street was crowded with marching French people, the entire traffic was chaotic and paralyzed, and cars could not move at all amid the flow of people.  Zhang Xueliang and his party had no choice but to park the car on the side of the road and look at these busy French people and nearby Paris attractions.

    ¡°Eldest and second sisters, look, that¡¯s the Arc de Triomphe in Paris!¡± Zhao Ti pointed out excitedly.

    "It's so high! It's almost as high as our Shenyang Martyrs' Monument." Yu Fengzhi and Gu Ruiyu looked at it and exclaimed.

    ¡°The Arc de Triomphe in Paris was built by French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte to commemorate the victory of the Austerlitz War. It is 50 meters high, 45 meters wide and 23 meters thick. You see the flash under the door??????The exercise process of naval aviation.  Watching the waves of "Spitfire" carrier-based aircraft roaring into the sky from the flight deck of the aircraft carrier, ferociously throwing bombs at the target ship, the explosions rumbled on the sea, the fireballs reflected the sun, and the water columns soared into the sky, Zhang Xueliang lamented the "Sunday" of that year.  While the "Never Fall" empire indeed still existed in glory, the idea in his mind of "building a powerful Northeastern Army Navy" also became stronger.

    On the evening of the third day, Zhang Xueliang was invited to visit Guo Taiqi, the Chinese Ambassador to the UK.  At the banquet, Minister Guo introduced to Zhang Xueliang General Zhang Fakui, who had come to Britain.

    Zhang Xueliang said with a smile: "You don't need to introduce us, we have known each other for a long time. During the Northern Expedition and the Central Plains War, we fought the most fiercely."

    Zhang Fakui also laughed loudly: "I have never encountered such an army since I led troops north. During the Northern Expedition, Marshal Zhang's troops were as hard as bones. During the Central Plains War, Marshal Zhang's troops were as hard as rocks. In the end, they were still  I took over Yan Xishan¡¯s home. It¡¯s awesome! I admire you! Your team is really an iron army!"

    The two of them, who had never known each other before, chatted happily. Zhang Fakui was ordered by Chiang Kai-shek to go to the UK to inspect the British aviation industry.  They were both cheerful soldiers, so the two simply started drinking and chatting about state affairs in the embassy. The drunk Zhang Fakui finally said something heartfelt: "Brother Hanqing, I am a rough man. If I have something to say, I will say it directly. Don't blame me  Our country has been weak for a hundred years and is almost on the verge of collapse. After looking at all the forces in the country, I feel that the hope of our national rejuvenation lies entirely in you When necessary, don't be soft-hearted Remember, responsibility"

    Zhang Xueliang was shocked.  A feeling that he had never felt before but had been lingering in his heart suddenly became stronger. Zhang Xueliang, or Chu Fei, had subconsciously regarded himself as a helper since he entered this time and space. He had been thinking about how to do his best to help.  In order to make changes to help the Chinese nation that was suffering in this time and space, he always believed that what really made the nation take off was that it had to rely on the talents and strategies of Mao and Chiang Kai-shek.  But now he gradually feels that he has unknowingly become a leader of this era who plays a decisive role in changing the destiny of the Chinese nation. The future of the entire nation has quietly been held in his own hands.

    Originally, Zhang Xueliang was planning to return to Germany after finishing his trip to the UK, but the two telegrams sent by Gao Shen and Shen Honglie immediately made him want to return. The group immediately flew back to Moscow and boarded the special train back to Northeast China.

    Seeing the familiar Siberian snowfield again, the same scenery but with a different mentality, Zhang Xueliang felt that his trip was really worthwhile. The trip to Europe made him understand a lot of things.  On the way, Yu Fengzhi saw that he was silent again, so he asked him what he was thinking.

    Zhang Xueliang thought for a while: "I am thinking about a question. Small countries such as Britain, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain are only equivalent to a province in China in terms of population and area. However, these countries have become the world's  It is a powerful country, and its comprehensive national strength far exceeds that of China. Look at the British Empire, which spanned four oceans and dominated five continents hundreds of years ago. This country, which is only the size of the Korean Peninsula, can actually dominate a quarter of the world's land and one-third of the world's land.  The Netherlands is only two and a half times the size of Peking City, but it can also sail across the Atlantic Ocean and turn the entire Indonesian islands into its colonies, known as the "Sea Coachman". These European countries can actually reach North and South America and Africa that are nearly ten times the size of Europe.  Divide it up. Why are they so powerful? I'm wondering why? Why can't China, which has a development foundation and potential that is ten times and a hundred times stronger than them, not be able to do it? What do we Chinese people lack? Is it just the backwardness of science and technology?  Is it a problem with the national system?" Zhang Xueliang fell into deep thought and added, "Or is it doomed by some bad nature of our nation?"
