The Third Reich: The Return of the King

"Welcome to Beiping, distinguished guest!"

Zhang Zuolin entertained Mainz and others very ceremoniously, and he even learned a broken German sentence from the translator and said it himself.

Mainz smiled, shook Zhang Zuolin's hand amicably, and then said in standard Chinese: "Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. President!"

As soon as this sentence came out, Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Shaoshuai and others were stunned!

In these years, there were many foreigners in the Celestial Empire, and there were even Maozi who ran out of Maoxiong in the Qilu region in the south, and these Maozi were recruited by Zhang Zongchang and became his private army, which was very famous in the land of Qilu.

As for foreigners like the traditional powers of the West where the sun never sets and Gaul, they are not uncommon in the Celestial Empire, at least in Beiping, the capital of the Celestial Empire, there are still a lot of these people!

However, Zhang Zuolin has never met a foreigner who can speak Chinese so standardly!

Among the foreigners he came into contact with, almost all foreigners complained that Chinese was very difficult to learn, and some tones of Chinese did not exist in foreign countries, so the Chinese foreigners spoke sounded very strange.

However, this did not happen to Major General Mainz!

The other party's Chinese made him completely unable to distinguish that this was said by a foreigner, and if he covered Mainz's face, he even thought that this was an authentic Celestial Empire!

Mainz looked at Zhang Zuolin with a surprised face with a smile, he had long expected the other party to have such an expression.

When I met with Sun Guofu on the warship before, when he opened his mouth to speak authentic Chinese, the other party was also shocked!

"Eh, do you speak Chinese?"

This sentence was subconsciously said in Chinese, Mainz nodded, but did not answer in Chinese, but said in German: "I have learned a little, I can understand, but I can't speak well, I heard that Chinese is the most difficult language in the world, so I tried to learn it!"

Mainz praised a sentence of Chinese in a timely manner, which made Zhang Zuolin and others present feel that their faces were bright, after all, their language can be recognized by other countries in the world, which is of course a very proud thing!

"Your Excellency the Major General is really knowledgeable, I can't do it, I only learned one sentence of German, and it took me more than half a month, hehe, old and old, it will be the world of you young people in the future!"

"Father, how can you be considered old when you are in the prime of life?"

Before Mainz could speak, Zhang Shaoshuai on the side immediately began to answer, and by the way, he also slapped his father's sycophant.

Mainz frowned slightly, Zhang Zuolin's words just now were actually suspected of relying on the old and selling the old, his sentence 'In the future, it will be the world of your young people', obviously from the perspective of the elders pointing out the younger generations, and if this sentence is only for Zhang Shaoshuai, the problem is not very big, but his sentence is obviously even covered by Mainz, which makes Mainz a little unhappy!

However, Zhang Shaoshuai's timely intervention diverted the power of the United States and resolved the unhappiness that may have been caused by this incident.

This made Mainz think a little highly of Zhang Shaoshuai, this guy is not an embroidered pillow as he imagined before, although Zhang Shaoshuai has a lot of problems with the second generation of rich sons, but this person himself still has some ability, at least this eyesight and this quick wit, I don't have it!

"Hehe, silly boy, of course you will get old as a father, so you have to learn more from Major General Lewinsky, you are 21 years old this year, and Major General is only 23, you look at others, and then look at yourself, I feel ashamed for you!"

This sentence is half serious, half joking, Zhang Zuolin is indeed very concerned about his son, but in his heart, he may not think that his son is worse than Mainz, such words are just raising the hat for Mainz.

Seeing through it or not saying it, Mainz pretended not to understand, and before figuring out the other party's intentions, Mainz decided to keep silent.

"Your Excellency, I heard that your country's military academy is very famous, and has cultivated many outstanding talents, you know, our Northeast Army is all from the grass platform, many people have been bandits like me, we people have no culture, we are a big boss, but we are very envious of you people who are educated and knowledgeable, no, those planes and tanks that your country helped us before, we couldn't even use this thing at first, if it wasn't for the help of a few retired officers of your country in the end, I'm afraid this thing will not be useful until now.

" ！"

Seeing that Mainz didn't talk, Zhang Zuolin had no choice but to take the initiative to speak.

Mainz nodded slightly, and the other party seemed to have something to ask for him.

And it seems to have something to do with Zhang Shaomari and the army, probably hoping to send Zhang Shaomarshal to Hansi for further study, and by the way, introduce a group of outstanding talents from Hansi to help him train the army, and teach them new tactics and tactics by the way, right?

Mainz didn't guess wrong, Zhang Zuolin did think so in his heart.

The advanced weapons that the Germans had previously aided them played a huge role in this battle against the direct warlords, which made him realize the improvement of the army's combat effectiveness with advanced weapons and equipment.

However, Zhang Zuolin himself lacks knowledge and understanding of these weapons, and the Northeast Army also lacks professional personnel, so let them tinker with these weapons by themselves, then they are really not good at it, and they must hire European professionals!

This situation made Zhang Zuolin realize that these old people were about to lag behind this era, and with their age and the speed at which they learned new knowledge, it was impossible for them to keep up with the development of science and technology and military technology in this era.

Since you can't keep up, you can only pin your hopes on your children!

As Zhang Zuolin's eldest son, although Zhang Shaoshuai has a lot of problems, this child himself is very smart, which makes Zhang Zuolin very proud and worried!

He was worried that his children would use this cleverness in the wrong way, so he had always been very concerned about the education of his children, and Zhang Shaoshuai stayed by Zhang Zuolin's side almost all the year round, inseparable.

However, in the face of the impact of new equipment and new tactics, Zhang Zuolin realized that if he kept Zhang Shaoshuai by his side like this, then he would probably be abandoned by this era like himself!

At that time, Zhang Shaoshuai didn't know anything about it, and he didn't know anything about new tactics and new equipment, how could he defend the country in this situation?

Therefore, even if he dotes on his children very much, he hopes to send Zhang Shaoshuai out, let him open his eyes, learn new things, and wait until he returns to China after completing his studies, and his position as president will be handed over to him, so that he can sit more stable, and he can rest assured after he retires!

In this era, there are not many countries that can be called advanced, and there are only a few traditional powers in Europe and the United States: the sun never sets, Eagle sauce, Gaul and Hans.

Among them, Eagle Sauce and the navy on which the sun never sets are more powerful, and the army is said to be more average, while the army of Gaul has always been very powerful, but in the First World War and the battles with Hans in recent years, the Gauls won less and lost more, and suffered a lot of defeats, which greatly damaged their good reputation.

On the contrary, Hans, they have inherited the glorious tradition from the Prussian era, so that their army has become a proud global existence, although the First World War Hans failed, but Hans can withstand the siege of so many powerful countries on their own, and it is enough to support for four years, which is enough to show the strength of their army!

And at this time, there are not many countries where the Northeast Army can go online, and there is no need to count on the sun, Gaul and Eagle Sauce, and there is originally a foot basin in the East, but Zhang Zuolin is very vigilant about the ambition of the foot basin and is unwilling to send his children into the tiger's mouth.

So come to think of it, the most suitable and the only place you can go is Hans!_
