Perhaps Hitler also realized that the greatest instability factor in the future of the Axis powers was not the difficulty of the war, nor Europe, nor China, but the Communists.

Perhaps, saving the tripartite relationship between China, Japan and Germany, repairing the cracks in the Axis powers, and preventing the Nazis from gradually moving to the Allies were the most fundamental reasons why Hitler sent a secret mission to visit China and Japan.

The subsequent meeting entered the chatting stage, which was nothing more than the German side hoping to get some technological or military help from China. However, what the Germans talked about most was the joint maritime military operation between China, Japan and Germany. Everyone present was

Very senior military and political personnel on both sides have full access to these confidential plans.

Zhang Shusheng did not speak again. Occasionally Wu Tiejun and others would speak, or reply to the Germans' topics, but from beginning to end, Zhang Shusheng said no more than two sentences, except for the initial polite greeting.

There is only one sentence: 'Mr. Ribbentrop, thank you for your advice. We will seriously consider the future development of Sino-Japanese relations and the future development of relations between the Axis powers.'

As one of the highlights of the meeting, the Germans stated that they would stand on China's side when the war reached a certain period or after the war, and asked the Japanese to completely return the Far East near China to China in order to make up for the "Sino-Japanese relationship"

and to make up for the 'damage to the national and territorial sentiments of the Chinese people' caused by the seizure of territory by the Soviets.

After the meeting, when the German delegation returned to their secret hotel, Goering and Ribbentrop had a post-meeting exchange. Goering was still quite excited, "Ribbentrop, the enthusiasm of the Chinese people exceeds mine."

Imagine, the head of state is right, as long as there are enough benefits, the head of state from the East will definitely be moved."

Ribbentrop nodded subconsciously, and after Goering left, he asked the German official not far away who was in charge of the minutes of the meeting, "How many words did the head of state say at the meeting? What did he say?"

"

What surprised Ribbentrop was that he felt somewhat similar to Goering. It seemed that the tone of the entire meeting was very good, and the Chinese were also very enthusiastic. The Eastern head of state always gave people a very positive and enthusiastic attitude.

It felt as if in the entire meeting, whether he spoke, nodded, or even smiled, it represented his statement.

"Mr. Minister, the Eastern head of state only said one sentence..."

The official looked a little ugly and handed a brief meeting minutes to the foreign minister.

When Ribbentrop saw it, his face suddenly turned ugly. He turned around and left, but secretly thought in his heart: This Chinese head of state is increasingly able to influence a person's thoughts and thinking. Even if he only said one sentence

, but it always makes you subconsciously feel that he supports your idea, he agrees with it, he is very kind...but in fact, he only said one sentence from beginning to end.

He couldn't help but compare the usual style of Hitler's head of state, and couldn't help but secretly thought: This oriental head of state is becoming more and more incomprehensible. Perhaps just like the tradition of their orientals, he is becoming more and more mysterious.

After the meeting, Zhang Shusheng took He Ning back to the head of state's base camp.

The afternoon meeting made him feel extremely chatty. For him, he had rarely participated in such a meaningless but extremely boring three-hour meeting in recent years.

From the beginning to the end, he did not say a single unnecessary word. It was not that he was pretending to be profound, but that there was really nothing to say. China could not afford to please Germany. Of course, the necessary face-saving work and maintenance work would naturally be done by the officials below.

And when it comes to promises made at the head of state's level, Zhang Shusheng thinks it's absurd from the perspective of the head of state.

He will not promise anything to any country, because everything is based on China's interests.

He will not give out any seemingly far-sighted talk, because everything can only be done down-to-earth, and after success, looking back is more convincing than looking forward.

Great blueprint ideas are not spoken with the mouth, but sketched on paper and conceived in the mind.

At 5:10 p.m. Hanking time, Zhang Shusheng and his two wives boarded a helicopter bound for the Pudong Military Airport in Pudong, Shanghai at the airport at the Head of State’s Base Camp.

The reason why I did not fly on the Head of State Air Force No. 1 or other Air Force fighter planes was simply because this was Zhang Shusheng’s personal matter, and this specially made helicopter was modified with Zhang Shusheng’s personal investment.

The basis of the modification is a high-performance multi-purpose armed civilian helicopter redeemed from the Dream System. The modification work makes it look more ordinary, but in fact it is very powerful and fully equipped with the latest features of the twentieth century.

In the 1940s, the Americans were at the level of the most advanced armed helicopters.

"The exchange items are good, but unfortunately they are too expensive."

This was Zhang Shusheng’s biggest feeling when he arrived at Shanghai Naval Airport.

Taking a helicopter is indeed easier than other military aircraft. There are many fewer procedures and no hassles. You can move quickly and hardly alert anyone except for necessary security work.

Simply put on makeup, and after experts from the security department of the base camp completed a security assessment, the three people, who were almost unrecognizable as Zhang Shusheng's family, finally headed to Shanghai No. 1 Middle School under the covert protection of the guards.

At about six o'clock in the afternoon, a Zhonghua 500 car arrived at the entrance of Shanghai No. 1 Middle School.

"Comrade, there is a school fifty meters ahead. It is after school time and traffic control is in progress. Please show your driver's license."

Because it was the peak period after school, traffic control was implemented in front of the school. A traffic policeman came over, saluted, and started checking.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work."

Zhang Shusheng smiled and nodded, handing him his driver's license.

His 500 luxury version of the Zhonghua car is just a non-emergency license plate hanging, and he queues up behind the control line. China's special license plate control is very strict, and it is only needed for emergency disaster relief, medical rescue, military operations, terrorist attacks and other types of work.

You will have a special license plate.

Ten minutes later, after the students who had gone home for dinner had mostly left, the traffic control on this street was lifted.

High school students in the Republic do not need to attend classes in the evening, nor do they need to attend self-study. However, the Education Law of the Republic stipulates that students must come to school in the evening. In addition to the half-hour and one-hour Yanhuang martial arts classes for physical fitness, they can choose to attend other times.

Group individual activities.

Therefore, the evening time of junior high school students in the Republic is very happy. As long as you are legal and disciplined, you can participate in hundreds of individual or group evening activities at school, ranging from reading books, watching movies, and watching TV.

There are everything from ball games to lighted stadiums, martial arts training, and even amateur military theory classes.

"Hey, you came to see Tantai again."

When he saw Zhang Shusheng, the doorman was still very enthusiastic. When he saw Lu Yunyan and He Ning getting out of the car, the doorman couldn't help but secretly thought, this good guy is probably really either rich or noble.

People can wear makeup, but it is difficult to conceal their temperament. Fortunately, Zhang Shusheng's temperament and appearance can be adjusted according to personal emotions. He Ning and Lu Yunyan make people feel very elegant.

"Yes, I need to trouble you to register, haha."

Soon, Zhang Shusheng took Lu Yunyan and He Ning into the school. When they arrived at the dormitory area, they said that He Ning had just gone to have dinner with a classmate.

Arriving at the cafeteria, Zhang Shusheng and the other three attracted a lot of attention, but this made Tantai notice the three of them immediately.

"My godfather was very brave back then. He once fought in a battle..."

Tantai was talking to Fu Huiyu, talking about some of Zhang Shusheng's early battles and interesting life stories that she had slightly changed without leaking the secret. Hearing what seemed to be some discussion in the cafeteria, he just raised his head and saw

There were three people walking in the distance. A man with a military temperament from the National Defense Forces, and two ladies in their 27s and 88s.

"Ah... godfather, little mom, aunt."

Tantai stood up in a hurry, ran over and took the hands of his little mother He Ning and his aunt Lu Yunyan, and said happily, "Little mother, aunt, why are you here with your godfather? Didn't you tell me not to disturb my godfather, hehe~

"

The little girl was still very happy. She never expected that her godfather and two mothers would come.

Several people smiled and walked to the corner where Tantai and Fu Huiyu were sitting. The seats next to them were occupied by some boys, which showed that they were very charming.

There were actually only two of them at this small table for five people.

"Hello! We meet again." When Zhang Shusheng saw Fu Huiyu, he felt slightly happy, but then he smiled.

"Hello, hello." Fu Huiyu was a little nervous. When he saw the two women beside Zhang Shusheng, he couldn't help but look away slightly. He thought to himself, it turns out that these are the aunt and little mom from Tantai, both of them are extremely beautiful.

She is a character. However, she also has a cold and arrogant heart that refuses to admit defeat.

Zhang Shusheng saw a small cake placed on the table with the words "Happy Birthday Luo Yu" written on it. It seemed that it was given to her by Fu Huiyu.

"You girl, you actually had a birthday cake to eat."

Seeing this, Zhang Shusheng slightly motioned to He Ning behind him not to put the cake he had brought on the table, but to put it aside.

"Since you girl was given a cake, let's eat it together. Let's share this big cake among your classmates." Zhang Shusheng said with a smile. He remembered that Tantai said that the class has the habit of organizing birthday parties.

.

Tantai also understood that Fu Huiyu would be embarrassed if he put a big cake on the table, so he happily agreed.

So, the five people started to eat her little cake, and Zhang Shusheng ordered some other dishes, which was a very sumptuous birthday meal. The craftsmanship in the cafeteria is not bad. Although the cafeteria is mainly for public welfare of students, in this small restaurant

The district still provides exquisite and special stir-fry dishes, which is convenient for some students who want to improve their taste. In fact, even poor students can improve their food once or twice a week from the catering subsidy they receive. The Republic has always been very generous in investing in education.

.

The five people who had the meal were very happy. Lu Yunyan and He Ning even praised the canteen master's craftsmanship.

After dinner, I don’t know how the news of Tantai’s birthday was leaked. A classmate, led by the teacher, wanted to celebrate her birthday.

So, after observing the Yanhuang martial arts class for half an hour, the three of them, Zhang Shusheng, attended a short birthday party organized by Tantai's class. There were dozens of students in the class, and there was a birthday party almost every week.

It is said that it is a birthday party, which means collective singing, activities, and performances. It is essentially within the scope of group activities in school evenings. It is only organized by teachers on their own initiative to enhance the relationship between classmates, especially to take care of those with poor families or "personalities"

Lonely students. Tantai Luoyu and Fu Huiyu performed their best guzheng and guqin, and other students also "showed off" their skills.

Because they played late that night, Zhang Shusheng and three people stayed at the guest house in the school specially used for parents visiting. The next day, before class, Tantai and Fu Huiyu sent the three to the door.

Looking at the retreating figures of Tantai and Fu Huiyu, Zhang Shusheng actually showed a trace of reluctance in his heart. Many times, he found that although he was becoming more and more accustomed to a life of high status and authority, on the other hand, this

He was moved by the life of ordinary people. Of course, Fu Huiyu and Tantai were very lovable, which was also one aspect.

"Be careful, I think this girl is good."

Looking at Fu Huiyu and Fu Huiyu in the distance, looking back and waving goodbye, Lu Yunyan looked at Fu Huiyu and said in a different direction.

He Ning next to her was startled for a moment, then smiled and said: "Yes, sister, I also think she is quite good, as good as our Tantai."

Zhang Shusheng smiled, he knew best what the two women were thinking, so he didn't say much, "Let's go, there are still many things to do, we can talk about the rest later."

After Zhang Shusheng returned to Hanking, Goering and others had basically completed their sightseeing and political and diplomatic work in China, and were preparing to leave for Japan to carry out the next diplomatic maintenance work.

Before leaving, senior officials from China, Japan and Germany held a special meeting at the "Indian Counterattack" Maritime Joint Operation Planning Command in Hanking. The two sides discussed some plan details and preparations.

On June 10, 1944, the implementation time of the plan was officially decided.
