The Berlin Olympics are finally over.

At the Berlin Olympics, all the medals won by the Chinese team came from Chen Qiang. The other contestants still had no results, and most of them were eliminated in the first round.

However, due to Chen Qiang, the Chinese team has achieved better results than in history in events such as long jump, triple jump, pole vault, etc. At least many more contestants have entered the finals.

In swimming events, Yang Xiuqiong, who was highly anticipated before the competition, participated in the women's 100-meter freestyle and 100-meter backstroke competitions, but they were both eliminated in the preliminary round. Compared with the world's top level, there is indeed a big gap in China's swimming. Yang Xiuqiong, who is invincible in Asia, cannot even pass the preliminary round in the Olympics.

In the weightlifting event, the Chinese team sent three players, two lightweight and one lightweight. As a result, the two lightweight players ranked 15th and 18th respectively. Although this is inconsistent with the status of China as the world's largest weightlifting power in the future, it is very good to have such results for the first time participating in the Olympics. As for the lightweight player, he failed three times and had no results.

In the cycling event, Dutch Chinese athlete He Haohua met the champion of the Los Angeles Olympics and was eliminated. Otherwise, he should have gone further.

Basketball is a good event. Although the Chinese team lost to Japan in the first game, they defeated France in the second game and advanced to the rematch. However, in the rematch, the Chinese team lost to Peru and lost to Brazil in the final qualifying match, ending the Olympic journey with a record of 1 win and 3 losses. The South American countries in this era generally have good economy, eat well and dress well and stay away from war, and sports are also relatively strong.

In terms of football, the Chinese team was not very lucky. They encountered the strong Britain in the first game and were eliminated 0-2. However, losing only two goals was considered a good idea. Even the British media said that it was not easy for the British to win this game. This is also a kind of affirmation of the Chinese football team.

Since the team earned the expenses themselves, the team did not stay in Berlin. When they returned home with the Chinese team at the end of the Olympics, they went to Frankfurt on August 11 to start the journey of European friendly matches. In the following half month, the Chinese football team went to Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, and played nine games in succession.

In Frankfurt, the Chinese football team lost 3-8 to Farlockford Football Club. Frankfurt of this era was a strong team and won a German championship in 1938.

Then in Olliti, the Chinese football team lost 2-4 to the runner-up of the Austrian Professional League that year, and then lost to the championship of the Austrian Professional League that year with a huge gap of 0-11. At that time, Olliti football was very good, and Austria also won the silver medal at the Berlin Olympics.

In Switzerland, the Chinese football team defeated Geneva Football Club 3-2, which was also the only victory that the Chinese team won in the European friendly match. In this game, Li Huitang completed a hat trick.

In Paris, France, the Chinese team drew 2-2 with the Paris Red Star. In 1936, the Paris Red Star was also considered a team in the French Ligue 1, but it ranked relatively low in the French Ligue 1.

After one win and one draw, the Chinese football team lost to Le Havre Football Club 0-6. Then in the Netherlands, the Chinese team lost to Ayake amateur team 3-5.

The last stop of the friendly match was the UK. The Chinese football team first lost to the British amateur champion Collins 2-3, and then lost to the British professional champion Kaihules 2-5.

After nine friendly matches, although they were all away games, the Chinese team only achieved a record of 1 win, 1 draw and 7 losses. This also included a 0-11 defeat.

In the future, many people think that Chinese football during the Republic of China was very powerful and even had a world-class level. In fact, although Chinese football at that time was top in Asia, there was still a big gap between top in Asia and world-class. This record of 1 win, 1 draw and 7 losses is enough to prove this.

On the technical level, China may not be too backward, especially Hong Kong athletes, who are actually very good at technical level due to the influence of British football culture. For example, Li Huitang, whose technology is the world's top.

However, in terms of tactical coordination, the Chinese team was too far behind. Of course, it was not just China. At that time, Asia, and even Australia, were much worse than Europe in terms of football theory. Of course, Australia in that era could not play against China.

Therefore, Chinese football teams had a great record when they played in the Nanyang exhibition match, but when they arrived in Europe, they were kicked out by their opponents.

It is worth mentioning that Li Huitang's outstanding performance won the favor of the British giant club Arsenal, and Arsenal invited Li Huitang to join. The UK is the birthplace of modern football. There are too many excellent athletes in the whole UK. Their willingness to invite Li Huitang as a Chinese shows that Li Huitang's strength is much better than the British players at that time. Even if Li Huitang is just about the same level as British athletes, Arsenal will choose British players instead of Li Huitang.

On the other hand, Chen Qiang also went to the seven European countries with the sports inspection team to start the inspection.

The original budget for the Chinese team to participate in the Berlin Olympics this time was enough, but it was precisely because of the sudden addition of such an inspection team that the Olympic budget exceeded the standard. In the end, it was due to donations from all walks of life and the football team to make money in the exhibition matches, so we collected enough funds for Berlin.

When athletes come to participate in the Olympics, they only need to stay in one place in Berlin, while the inspection team has to travel to multiple countries, so the cost is much greater than that of athletes. Basically, a member of an inspection team occupies the funds of two or three athletes.

In fact, the original purpose of this inspection team was indeed to travel abroad for public expenses. At that time, the Ministry of Education was controlled by the CC Department. How could it not be used to make good use of such a great opportunity to go to Europe? So there were 11 members in the inspection team who were directly recommended by the Ministry of Education. These 11 people were all central or local officials, such as sports supervisors from various provinces, and the directors of some stadiums. They all came for public expenses under the banner of inspections.

In addition, 15 members of the League received allowances from the National Sports Association, which they were considered to be semi-advised. They were all front-line physical education educators, such as directors of sports departments of various universities, or presidents of sports universities. Compared with the 11 officials, these front-line sports workers are obviously more meaningful in their investigation. At least after they were inspected, they could apply what they learned and apply what they had learned to daily physical education teaching after returning to China.

There were seven people in the inspection team, who were completely at their own expense. For example, Chen Bingde, director of the Sports Department of Fudan University, Wang Shoufang, director of the Sports Department of Soochow University, and Jiang Zhende, director of the Sports Department of Mellon Middle School, were willing to pay for their own money to come to Europe for investigation and study, and they really hope to develop China's sports career.

The inspection team originally had nothing to do with Chen Qiang, but Chen Qiang's outstanding performance in the Olympics made the inspection team add Chen Qiang's name.

Seven gold medals and seven world records, this is an unprecedented achievement. This miraculous performance also made Chen Qiang a famous European celebrity. During the inspection, there will always be people asking about Chen Qiang’s situation.

So the inspection team decided to let Chen Qiang join the inspection team. With Chen Qiang here, the quality of the entire inspection team instantly improved a lot. Those Europeans did not know the members of the inspection team, but they had all heard of Chen Qiang's name. They heard that Chen Qiang, the "world's No. 1 athlete" came to visit. The reception staff also attached much importance to the entire inspection team and the reception standards were also improved.

For example, the deputy mayor originally came to receive the inspection team, but after Chen Qiang came, he became the mayor personally received it. For example, the previous inspection team had ordinary working simple meals, but after Chen Qiang came, he became a main meal in a hotel, and some places even held a welcome dinner specifically for Chen Qiang.

The inspection process went much smoother. When I visited some universities, the school was arrogant and ignored. The universities with some famous European universities have a long history and there is no shortage of well-known scholars in the schools. However, China is a poor and backward country. They have no leisure and elegance to take care of the inspection teams from China.

When Chen Qiang came, the situation was completely different. The attitude of those universities was obviously much lower. In some places, they even wanted to put on a slogan "Welcome Mr. Chen Qiang to come to guide", and instantly changed from ignoring her love to licking her dog. Wherever Chen Qiang went, those who worked in sports were surrounded by Chen Qiang, and many people were even more hoping to have a conversation with Chen Qiang or get Chen Qiang's face-to-face guidance.

...

In fact, before the Olympics began, the work of the inspection team had already begun. A world leisure and entertainment seminar was held in Hamburg, Germany, during which there were also entertainment performances from groups from various countries, such as folk games, music performances, etc. The Chinese team also performed national skills at the conference.

In addition, the seminar also introduced some commercial publicity such as specialties from all over Germany, the evolution of textile machines, the progress of transportation, and the 11 officials were obviously very interested in this. They were originally here for public travel, and they could see some customs and customs or listen to music, which was naturally much more fun than boring and exploring sports.

When Chen Qiang joined the inspection team, the inspection team had already finished its inspection of Denmark and Sweden, heading to the next stop to the Czech Republic, and the next visit to Austria, Hungary and Italy.

There are no good attractions in the Czech Republic, Austria and Hungary, but Italy is because there are many scenic spots and historical sites, which are quite interesting to the officials of publicly paid tourism in the delegation.

But in fact, based on the national conditions of the old China at that time, the inspection of Czech Republic, Austria and Hungary was more meaningful than going to Italy.

The Czech Republic, Austria and Hungary were once a powerful empire. After the First World War, the Austro-Hungarian Empire collapsed, and the Czech Republic, Austria and Hungary also became defeated countries, and their national strength was greatly weakened, and they changed from a world-class power to a third-rate European country.

Moreover, due to the existence of the Treaty of Versailles, the military strength of the defeated countries was restricted and military training was also affected. However, the three countries also adopted the method of "replacing military training with sports training" to achieve the growth of military power.

For China at that time, these three countries were worth learning from.

At that time, China was also a weak country. With China's national strength, it did not meet the conditions for the whole nation to be a soldier. China was also facing the invasion of the Japanese and needed to develop military forces to defend the country. At this time, using sports training at a lower cost to replace military training is also a way to strengthen the country and the military.

Training a strong athlete is much lower than training a qualified soldier. In the era of guns and cannons, an athlete only needs two weeks of military training to become a soldier.

...

After the inspection of the seven European countries, Chen Qiang also took a passenger ship back to China.

When the Berlin Olympics came to an end in history, the Chinese delegation returned in a bad mood. Not to mention winning medals, there were not many people who could advance from the preliminaries.

Faced with such results, Chinese people showed various negative emotions, such as grief, indignation, and helplessness...

Various criticisms have also appeared one after another. Among them, the more famous one is a comic "The Picture of Chinese Olympic athletes' Return of Glory". Above the comic is a huge ocean liner, and the dock is a crowd that welcomes Chinese athletes to return. The athlete standing on the bow of the boat holds a huge duck egg. The duck egg has a sign of the Olympic Fifth Ring in Shanghai, indicating that Chinese athletes have won a "duck egg" result in the Olympics.

The comments in the newspaper even show mockery of the Chinese team's defeat. For example, some commentators claim that Chinese athletes go to watch the competition, not to participate in the competition. This is quite like Yue Yunpeng teased Sun Yue for listening to crosstalk on stage.

The one who satirized the Chinese Olympic delegation the most at that time was not the Chinese domestic media, but the Chinese in Singapore. It is said that when the Chinese delegation returned to China, the ship was docked in Singapore. Chinese athletes at that time did not dare to get off the ship because all the Chinese in Singapore would make a sarcastic voice at them.

In this time and space, due to Chen Qiang's time travel, these criticisms and ridicule no longer exist. Although Chen Qiang is the only one who can win the gold medal, and the other players of the Chinese team are still invincible, the public does not care about these. Chen Qiang's alone has already covered up all the flaws of the Chinese team.

When the passenger ship taken by the Chinese delegation was docking at the Shanghai Wharf, the surrounding area was already in a state of water. The people of Shanghai spontaneously gathered at the wharf to welcome the Olympic athletes to return home.

In Nanjing, a big shot even sent a big shot to Shanghai to welcome the Olympic delegation, which was a high-standard reception that had never been seen before.

But it is normal to think about it. Wang Zhengting, the leader of the Olympic delegation, was also a member of the Central Committee of the Republic of China. The person sent to greet him could not be at the same level as Wang Zhengting. He was either at the same level as Wang Zhengting or at a higher level than Wang Zhengting. With Wang Zhengting's qualifications and positions he held in Nanjing, those who were even higher than him can be considered as big bosses.

Olympic athletes enjoyed the highest courtesy in Shanghai. That night, the Shanghai Municipal Government held a special banquet to entertain Olympic athletes. The next day, all members of the delegation took the train to Nanjing, preparing to receive welcome and commendation from Nanjing.

In Nanjing, Chen Qiang met the government's bosses again, and the Nanjing boss also personally awarded a medal to Chen Qiang.

The official commendation and celebration in Nanjing lasted for several days, starting from the commendation of the boss, to the Executive Yuan, then to the Ministry of Education, and then to the National Sports Association, and came one by one. After the official commendation and awards, there were also some semi-official and private groups holding celebrations for the Olympic delegation, and Chen Qiang even had dinner parties every day.

In the Chinese dinner culture, alcohol is indispensable. Chen Qiang thinks that the alcohol content is pretty good, but he can't stand it and drink it every day. It's so great that Chen Qiang feels that if he continues to drink like this, his body will definitely not be able to bear it.

...

In the morning, after Chen Qiang got up, he called the front desk and the hotel waiter delivered the breakfast to Chen Qiang's room.

This time, the food and accommodation expenses of Chen Qiang in Nanjing were all in charge. After all, Chen Qiang was the person who was awarded the title of the boss himself, and he was the face of the Chinese sports industry, so the reception could not be sloppy. Nanjing arranged a good hotel for Chen Qiang. Since he didn't have to spend money on his own, Chen Qiang was not polite and enjoyed the services provided by the hotel.

The waiter placed the breakfast on the table and prepared another newspaper. Then he took out an invitation and handed it to Chen Qiang, saying, "Chen Jianjiang, this is the invitation I just received."

Chen Qiang is not unfamiliar with invitations, and he has received many invitations these days.

"No, I can't drink it anymore. If I drink it again, I have to drink it and cirrhosis!" Chen Qiang refused, but he saw that the invitation not only contained Chinese but also German.

Chen Qiang opened the invitation and saw that it was an invitation letter from the Nanjing Branch of the German Party that invited Chen Qiang to attend the dinner.

"The Germans have come to invite me, probably because the German head of state personally awarded me a medal! It's okay to attend the following. After all, I just returned from someone's country and I have to give this face. I can't hold my pants and refuse to admit it! Moreover, the foreigners' dinner party was filled with red wine and champagne, and the alcohol level was lower. I drank as much as I wanted. No one had a drink. It was much better than the Chinese dinner party!"

Chen Qiang couldn't help but remember the dinners he attended these days. Whether it was the host or the guests, they all kept toasting Chen Qiang, as if you wouldn't give me face if you didn't drink them. Some people didn't count on giving me a cup, but they even toasted three cups in a row. Every time they toast, there were always different statements, which made Chen Qiang feel like he was soaked in wine every day. Chen Qiang felt scared when he saw the invitation.

...

The place where the Germans hold the banquet is the office of the sh company in Nanjing. The full name of this sh company is telegraphen-bauanstaltvonsiemenshalske. This name may not be familiar with, but the other name is definitely well-known:

Siemens AG!

This sh company is the future Siemens company. As early as the end of the 19th century, Siemens had entered China. With the heating of Sino-German relations, Siemens' business in China has risen even more. Siemens' business is spread all over China. Before World War II, most of China's telegraph networks were built by Siemens.

The waiter introduced Chen Qiang to the banquet hall and then met the host of today's banquet, the minister of the Nanjing branch of the German ** Party.

However, what Chen Qiang is more interested in is not this minister, but the deputy minister standing next to the minister.

The deputy minister's name is John Rabe!

The John Rabe who wrote "Bella's Diary"!

The John Rabe, who established the Nanjing Security Zone and protected hundreds of thousands of Chinese refugees!
