In the evening, Chen Qiang put on a tuxedo and came to a big hotel in Berlin to participate in the Olympic dance.

The last time Chen Qiang appeared on a similar occasion was before the start of the Olympics. Since the start of the Olympics, Chen Qiang has not participated in such social activities. After all, Chen Qiang’s competition task is very heavy, and he has to complete seven competition events in five days. After finishing the competition every day, Chen Qiang went back to the Olympic Village to rest and prepare for the next day’s competition.

Now Chen Qiang's competition has finally ended. He has no competition task and has the energy to participate in social activities such as Olympic dances.

As the most dazzling star at this Olympics, Chen Qiang is naturally the most popular existence at the dance. As long as the person attending the dance, no matter what his identity is, he will come forward to talk to Chen Qiang, which makes Chen Qiang the busiest person at this dance.

A slightly thin German walked up to Chen Qiang, with a mechanical smile on his face and said, "Mr. Chen, congratulations, you won seven gold medals at the Berlin Olympics and broke the world record of seven events."

"Thank you, Minister Goebbels." Chen Qiang replied with a smile.

This thin German, named Paul Joseph Goebel, is the German Minister of National Education and Propaganda. He is very good at speaking and is known as the "genius of propaganda". He is deeply trusted by the German head of state and can be said to be the right-hand man of the German head of state. The chairman of the preparatory committee of this Berlin Olympics is Gobert, so he should have appeared at the Olympic dance as expected.

Paul Joseph Goebbels did a lot of bad things during World War II. Germany's book burning movement and controlling media were hosted by Goebbels. Germany's anti-Semitism movement, Goebbels was also the main force. It can be said that Goebbels was also an "executioner". Chen Qiang originally didn't want to pay attention to such people, but this place was Germany's territory after all, and people had to bow their heads under the short eaves. Moreover, Goebbels also serves as the chairman of the Berlin Olympics Preparatory Committee. Even if Chen Qiang doesn't like Goebbels, he can only greet him with a smile.

Goebbels continued: "Mr. Chen, I want to tell you another good news. Given your outstanding performance at the Berlin Olympics, our great head of state decided to award you a medal of peace and friendship!"

"Germany in this era also has the medal of peace and friendship?" Chen Qiang said in his heart, but he could only complain about this in his heart, and he dared not say it on the surface, and he also had to show a look of panic and happy look.

Chen Qiang certainly knew what kind of urinary nature of Germany during World War II. The German head of state who brought war and disaster to the world and caused the death of tens of millions of people, a war dealer, actually awarded the "Medal of Peace and Friendship". This is really a great irony.

Chen Qiang knew that the reason why the German head of state awarded him the "Medal of Peace and Friendship" was entirely due to political considerations. Chen Qiang was the most outstanding athlete at the Berlin Olympics. Seven gold medals and seven world records have created history, so Germany naturally had to express it. After all, this is the Olympics, and the storefront project should be done. When a medal is issued, Germany loses a piece of paper, but earns face.

In the Berlin Olympics in history, Jesse Owens was the most outstanding performance, but because he was a black athlete, it was naturally impossible to get the medal personally awarded by the German head of state. But in this time and space, Chen Qiang was the best athlete at the Berlin Olympics. Considering that China and Germany were allies at that time, the German head of state awarded Chen Qiang the medal, which also reflects the "China-German friendship" and expressed goodwill to Nanjing.

Chen Qiang naturally could not refuse this "Medal of Peace and Friendship". Not only could he not refuse, but he also had to take it happily, wear it on his chest, and then express his most sincere gratitude to the German head of state.

Chen Qiang exchanged a few greetings with Goebbels, and a short man in glasses walked over with a wine glass.

This man is less than fifty years old, with a big forehead and a Mediterranean hairstyle, looking like a scholar.

Goebbels also saw this "Mediterranean" and waved his hand, called him closer, and introduced: "Mr. Chen, I will introduce you to him. This is Professor Anime."

"Hello, Mr. Chen, it's an honor to know you." Professor Anim stretched out his right hand.

"Hello, Professor Animum." Chen Qiang also politely shook hands with Professor Animum.

For some reason, Chen Qiang felt that Professor Anim’s eyes were a bit weird when he looked at him. Although Professor Anim was very polite and polite, Chen Qiang felt an inexplicable sense of crisis in Professor Anim’s eyes. Professor Anim’s eyes looked at Chen Qiang, not like he was looking at a new friend, but like he was looking at a treasure, his eyes were full of greed and desire.

"Is this Professor Anime a bent? Or do you have any bad hobbies? I have to leave his origin, and it is important to keep the chrysanthemum." Chen Qiang complained secretly in his heart.

...

The dance party had begun for most of the time, and Chen Qiang greeted almost everyone, and at this time he finally got idle.

Chen Qiang found a chair to sit down, came with a glass of champagne, and savored it carefully. At the same time, he also began to scan the entire banquet hall and looked at the crowds of people drinking and chatting.

In the corner, several people gathered together, and they were talking to each other in a low voice, but no one else paid attention to them.

Because they are black people!

The United States sent 19 athletes to participate in the Berlin Olympics, but in Germany at that time, black people were obviously unpopular. It was considered to be extra-legal for their ability to participate in the Berlin Olympics. At the Olympic dance, they were naturally isolated. Although they also wore tuxedoes to participate in the dance, no German was willing to answer them at the dance, and even the waiters despise them, so they could only find a corner of themselves and talk to each other in a low voice.

Chen Qiang saw Jesse Owens among several black athletes, so Chen Qiang stood up and walked over.

"Hey, Chen, you're finally done! I see you're so busy, I didn't dare to disturb you." Jesse Owens said, pointing to the steak on the table, and then said, "This steak is very good, it's even better than the American ones. Do you want to try it?"

Chen Qiang sat next to Jesse Owens, then looked at the white people who tried to stay away from them, shook his head helplessly. He remembered Jesse Owens' outstanding performance in history at the Berlin Olympics, and involuntarily spoke: "Jesse, sorry."

"Why do you say that?" Jesse Owens asked.

"If I hadn't participated in the Berlin Olympics, the gold medals for 100 meters, 200 meters and long jump would be yours." Chen Qiang said.

"Sports competitions are always about winning and losing. If you win me, it means you are better than me. There is no need to apologize for this!" Jesse Owens said.

"No, I'm not referring to this. I mean, if you can win the gold medal, maybe they wouldn't treat you like this." Chen Qiang said, looking at the white people around him.

Jesse Owens finally understood what Chen Qiang meant: "Are you referring to those white people? What you mean is that if I could win the gold medal, would those white people not neglect me?"

Chen Qiang did not answer, but Jesse Owens smiled sarcastically, and he said, "You are not a black man, you don't understand what you meet. Even if I can win the gold medal, I will not be respected by those white people. In their eyes, I am just a fast-running nigger, a black man who can win the championship, but in the final analysis, I am still a black man!"

Jesse Owens uses the word starting with "n". If it is placed in the future, if you say this word to an American black man, you will definitely be beaten up.

Jesse Owens continued: "Actually, in a few years, I also had the same idea, thinking that as long as I can achieve good results and win the championship, I can get the recognition of those white people, respect them, and treat them equally. However, the reality is not like this. Even if I win many championships, I still have to be inferior because I am a black man!"

Jesse Owens said, forking a steak with a fork, and then said, "Actually, in Germany, there are many things I can't enjoy in the United States, such as this steak! You know, if it were in the United States, I wouldn't be like this, wearing a tuxedo, napkin, listening to music, and enjoying red wine and steak in hotels. Because in the United States, such a restaurant will not entertain black people! If I show up there, they will drive me out and then laugh at me and say to me, "Nigga, go back and have a fried food!"

Chen Qiang knew that in later generations, it was very offensive to invite black people to eat fried chicken. Before the American Civil War, black slaves at that time were not only restricted from personal freedom, but also could not raise livestock at will. For example, raising horses was absolutely not possible, because slave owners were worried that black people would run away on horseback. Inconspicuous small animals like chickens should have no effect. Even raising a group of chickens would not form any combat power. Therefore, black people at that time were allowed to raise chickens, and therefore their muscles became the only meat food for black people at that time.

Even after the Civil War, the United States abolished slavery, but due to racial discrimination, most restaurants did not allow blacks to enter and eat. For example, farmers went to the city to purchase. When it was time to eat, whites could go to restaurants to eat, while blacks could not. But blacks could not go hungry, so blacks used boxes to hold fried chicken as food for their journey. Because fried chicken was not easy to break, was easy to carry, and tasted good.

In 1936, discrimination against blacks was still very common, and even racial discrimination would not be considered a "political mistake". Therefore, even if it was an offense, blacks could only endure it.

Back to the topic, Jesse Owens picked up the steak in his hand, took a hard bite, and then continued: "When I was in the United States, I not only couldn't eat in such a restaurant, but I couldn't even live with white people! If the white people knew that I was in the same hotel as them, they would drive me out. But in Germany, I could at least live with white people. We all lived in the Olympic village, the same room, the same bed! This at least made me feel an equality!"

Chen Qiang opened his mouth slightly but didn't say anything. He could feel that the resentment in Jesse Owens' heart was a resentment against racial discrimination! Jesse Owens has worked hard enough. In the future, he will even be called the greatest track and field athlete of the 20th century, but because he is a black man, he will still be treated unfairly and will still be discriminated against.

At that time, black people in the United States had a hard time, and they were subject to various restrictions in all aspects. It was not just Jesse Owens who said that black people could not eat in restaurants or live in the same hotel as white people. In terms of education, black people could not go to the same school as white people. When taking the bus, black people had to give up their seats for white people. Even though Eisenhower abolished the black and white apartheid system, black people were still not treated equally. It was not until after Martin Luther King that the situation gradually improved.

Jesse Owens grew up in such an environment. When he came to Germany, he could live with white people, appear at a banquet in a tuxedo, and enjoy red wine and steak with white people, he felt a kind of respect he had never had before!

At this time, Chen Qiang smiled bitterly and shook his head.

This is Germany in 1936, which was full of hostility towards Jews and blacks. However, an American black man felt respect here! And this respect was something he could not enjoy in the United States. In this regard, the United States, which always says freedom and equality, should be inferior to Germany, which is racially discriminatory!

What a ridiculous thing this is!

Or, what a hypocritical America!

...

In a secret institute in the outskirts of Berlin, a man who looked like an officer was standing in front of Professor Anim and listening to his work report.

"General, we really should try to keep that Chinese. I think he will play a very critical role in our research." Professor Anim said.

"Dr. Anim, our military has given you a lot of financial support." The general opposite said.

"General, you have also seen the performance of that Chinese man in the Olympics. He has set world records, such as running, jumping, long jumping, shot put, and hurdles. This is equivalent to running, jumping and strength, he has reached the limit of humanity! Isn't such physical fitness the result that we 'super soldiers' expect!"

Dr. Anim paused and continued, "If we could study the body of that Chinese and figure out how he broke the limits of humanity in so many ways and then applied it to our German soldiers, then we would produce thousands of ‘super soldiers’. Isn’t this exactly what the great head of state wants!"

"With that being said, we cannot keep that Chinese. He came to participate in the Olympics. In the eyes of everyone, would I ask me to tie him up? He achieved such outstanding results at the Berlin Olympics. Even the great head of state would have to personally award him the medal. If something happened to him, then what is the face of our Germany? What is the face of the head of state?" the general shook his head and said.

"General, maybe we can take other methods, such as giving him a scholarship to stay in Germany to study, at least keep him first."

"Even if you leave him in Germany, you can't study him. He is a world-renowned athlete after all. We cannot blatantly do it against him. On the contrary, because of international influence, we must try to protect him." The general said.

"General, let's keep him first, and then find a suitable opportunity, such as letting him contract a certain disease, and then research him in the name of treatment, so there will be no problem." Dr. Anim suggested.

The general nodded: "This is a good idea. Well, I will contact the Ministry of Education and try to keep the Chinese in the name of studying abroad. But I can't guarantee whether he promises to stay in Germany!"
