Conquering the world from the Kaiser's driver

"Why do you say that?"

Lin Shangzhou asked doubtfully, and at the same time, this made him feel much more relaxed. It was best to avoid conflicts, and Louis's words meant that there was a great chance that he could avoid conflicts with Junker.

"You just need to express a vague attitude, and leave the rest to the people and public opinion. Let people denounce him to create public pressure, and then use public opinion to praise the good qualities and contributions of the Junker nobles, and then attack that guy, so that the Junkers will dislike him."

"And I did some research and asked a few of my Junker friends. They said that guy doesn't have a very good reputation in the Junker circle in Berlin. A little push would make the Junkers hate him."

Louis paused, licked his dry lips, and continued, "Finally, let His Majesty say that he should be punished. This will not only comply with public opinion, but also avoid your involvement. The Junkers themselves hate him. Although his sentencing has damaged the reputation of the Junkers, it is ultimately his own fault. He damaged the reputation of the Junkers himself, and you have been a victim from beginning to end. Even if some Junkers realize our plan, they cannot blame us for everything."

"Since we can't be blamed, why should there be any conflict?"

"And your Majesty's words are just to express your attitude towards this matter. I believe she has certain feelings for Mr. Follandon. Even if you don't say it, she will show her disgust for that person. This will not cause a conflict between you and Cecilia."

Louis gave Lin Shangzhou a confident smile.

"What do you think?"

Lin Shangzhou leaned back in his chair and recalled what Louis had just said. According to Louis, putting that guy in jail because of this incident would indeed not cause a conflict between him and Junker.

He also thought of another point. If the Junkers, despite the pressure from public opinion, were determined not to let that bastard receive the punishment he deserved, then this would intensify the conflict between ordinary citizens and the Junkers. Such things would generally be beneficial to the SPD.

Lin Shangzhou nodded approvingly and said, "Well, let's do as you say."

Louis laughed and said, "You don't have to do what I say. I have already started doing it, and there are more things you can't imagine."

Although Louis' words seemed to imply acting first and reporting later, Lin Shangzhou didn't care. After all, Louis was an investor in the newspaper and had more political experience than himself. He had the power, and Lin Shangzhou didn't mind him making plans for the newspaper.

"Hmm? What's going on?"

Louis' words aroused Lin Shangzhou's interest, and he asked curiously.

Louis smiled mysteriously, then started the car and said, "I won't tell you yet. You'll know when we get back to the apartment."

"alright."

Seeing that he was keeping him in suspense, Lin Shangzhou shrugged his shoulders, turned his head to look at Wuyou Palace again, then leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest. This time, after he closed his eyes, he did not see the nightmare again, nor did the nightmare say anything to him.

After returning to the apartment, Louis gave today's "JoongAng Ilbo" to Lin Sangzhou. Lin Sangzhou was dumbfounded after seeing the news content and articles criticizing extreme racists and those who sympathized with him and his uncle in the newspaper.

What did he see?

He saw that the right-wing media had joined him in attacking racists.

The sun is rising from the west?

Lin Shangzhou hurriedly asked Louis if he knew why this was happening. Louis shook his head at him, indicating that he himself didn't know what was going on.

In the end, Lin Shangzhou gave up thinking about what was going on. After all, this was a good thing.

Chapter 182 The News Brought by Chen Chali

At 2 o'clock in the morning on February 13, Lin Shangzhou, who had completely recovered from his negative state, stepped into the door of the newspaper office with confident steps. Louis' words last night made him realize that the difficulties in front of him were not difficulties. What's more important is that the right-wing media actually cut ties with the owner of the club at the speed of light, which is more conducive to their next actions.

The right-wing media may not necessarily mobilize the power of the people, but their attacks and condemnations of the club owner can further arouse people's disgust towards racists. Coupled with Goebbels' propaganda ability, Lin Shangzhou had no idea how to lose.

He walked into the office area and greeted the newspaper employees cheerfully. His spirit was completely different from yesterday, from being listless to being full of energy.

Lin Shangzhou naturally still felt sad about his uncle's departure, but now was not the time to be sad. He had already cried enough in Letitia's arms last night. Now it was time to avenge his uncle and seek justice.

Instead of going to his own office, he came to Goebbels' office door, knocked on the door, and after getting Goebbels' permission, he opened the door and walked in.

Goebbels looked up and saw Lin Shangzhou, who was full of energy. He felt relieved. He smiled and said to Lin Shangzhou, "I feel relieved to see that you are in such good spirits."

"I'm sorry for making you worry yesterday."

Lin Shangzhou apologized to Goebbels guiltily, but Goebbels waved his hands, saying he didn't care about what happened yesterday.

Lin Shangzhou pulled a stool and sat in front of Goebbels. After sitting down, he said to Goebbels: "The report on my uncle's murder and the condemnation of the club owner should be carried out according to Louis's idea. While creating public opinion, we should evaluate the identity of that person as a Junker noble, and then praise the Junker nobles and their contributions."

The evaluation he mentioned here refers to words like "this person is not worthy of being a Junker nobleman" which elevates the status of a Junker and indirectly highlights the despicable nature of that guy.

Goebbels told him: "Everything is going on in an orderly manner. I will take care of it."

Lin Shangzhou thought for a moment and then continued, "But I have an additional request. I hope you can link the Junker nobles and the German people together. It doesn't need to be too close, but when praising the military achievements of the Junker nobles, don't forget to mention their soldiers and the German people."

"It's okay if it doesn't work. I won't force it."

This question made Goebbels feel a little troubled, but it was only a little troublesome. He nodded and said, "Of course."

Seeing that Goebbels agreed to his request, Lin Shangzhou was very grateful. He leaned back in his chair and looked at Goebbels in front of him. He thought of Goebbels's ability to speak eloquently, so he joked: "Paul, I believe that the elegant and beautiful words you came up with to praise the Junker nobles will make a servant who is oppressed by the Junkers feel proud when he hears your words praising them and sees the words written in the newspaper."

“I don’t think it’s that exaggerated.”

Goebbels said modestly that he himself had seen his own abilities, but he was not yet complacent about it.

Lin Shangzhou smiled, discussed more details with Goebbels, then got up and left his office. He went to his own office and started his day's work.

Although Goebbels had arranged everything, Lin Shangzhou's work was still not easy. He read through the articles to be published in the next few days and made some minor changes to some of the content. While he was doing this, Goebbels walked in with a piece of manuscript paper.

Lin Shangzhou was not surprised that he came up with an article so quickly. On the contrary, it would be surprising if it took him a long time to write it.

After handing the new article to Lin Shangzhou, Goebbels left. Lin Shangzhou also put down other work at hand and began to read the article sent by Goebbels.

This is an article praising the Junkers' achievements. Its content is the same as Lin Shangzhou's request, emphasizing the importance of German soldiers and people when praising the Junkers. However, the article first mentions the owner of the club, starting with "people will look down on the Junker nobles because of him", and the following text praises the Junkers.

Lin Shangzhou believed that after reading this article, the Junkers would become more disgusted with the club owner. Then, if Alexandrine spoke, everything would be easy.

He put the paper aside, picked up a piece of manuscript paper, put it on the typewriter, and began to write an article accusing the group of extreme racists.

While he was writing the article, Officer Chen Charlie came to his office and brought him the news he wanted - why his boss transferred the original patrol police force and did not send others to replace them.

Chen Chali told Lin Shangzhou what he had learned. His boss was initially unwilling to answer his question, but was later dismissed for abuse of power.

After knowing this news, Lin Shangzhou knew without any guessing that Chen Chali's boss was bribed by the owner of the club. Even if he was not bribed, it must have something to do with him. The fact that Chen Chali's boss was dismissed also surprised Lin Shangzhou.

The speed of withdrawal was a bit too fast. Lin Shangzhou thought of the fact that right-wing media such as the Central Daily News were on the same front with them. The Central Daily News essentially obeyed the orders of the prime minister. Combining these things, he had an idea in his mind: this time the left and right wings are really on the same front.

After this idea came up, the feeling in Lin Shangzhou's heart could only be described in one word: joy.

It’s so funny that the left and right wings actually stand together to deal with extreme racists. This seems incredible, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not completely impossible.

His uncle was His Majesty's driver. If the extreme racists assassinated his uncle, it would mean that they could also threaten the safety of the German Emperor. Although the premise for their success was that His Majesty was visiting a foreign country and everyone knew that they were racists and would not attack the German Emperor, as long as the matter was exaggerated, it would become "the extreme racists might assassinate His Majesty."

Just as Lin Shangzhou was thinking about this, Chen Chali said to Lin Shangzhou: "Mr. Hipper, I have something else to tell you."

His words brought Lin Shangzhou back from his thoughts.

"You tell me, I'm listening."

"It's like this. The young murderer is a minor. Even if he is sentenced, he cannot be sentenced to death. If you want him to receive the same punishment (death penalty) as the other two murderers, it may be difficult..."

Before Chen Chali finished speaking, Lin Shangzhou shook his head and said, "Whether he is sentenced to death is not a very important matter to me. Compared with the death penalty, I have a better way to make him feel pain."

Lin Shangzhou was a little surprised that the guy was a minor, but it was better this way, as it would be more beneficial to him.

"Also, when we were interrogating the murderer we just mentioned, we learned that the Prime Minister's nephew was also involved in this incident. According to him, the club's owner asked him to find a way to transfer the Stormtroopers who had lived in your house."

After saying this, Chen Chali closed his mouth and said no more. He knew that since the prime minister was involved, he had no say in the matter.

Lin Shangzhou expected that Klein was related to this matter. He was a racist, so it was reasonable and not surprising that he had dealings with that club.

Lin Shangzhou clenched his fists in silence, anger welling up in his heart. The conflict between him and Klein before was just a simple quarrel, not a big conflict at all, but now it is completely different. Since he helped those guys kill his uncle, he and Klein have a mortal feud.

Chapter 183 Envy of the Totalitarian

Lin Shangzhou calmed himself down, thanked Chen Chali, and then said some irrelevant words before Chen Chali left the newspaper office.

Lin Shangzhou watched the police car go away at the gate of the newspaper office. After he could no longer see the police car, he turned around and went back to the newspaper office. Chen Chali's words just now gave him a different perspective on the current situation.

He returned to his office and sat in his chair to sort out the matter. First of all, the three murderers were the ones who directly killed his uncle, two adults and one minor.

The two adults will definitely be sentenced to death, while the minor may only be sentenced to imprisonment like Princip. Lin Shangzhou has no objection to the punishment of these three people.

Although the young man survived, Lin Shangzhou had the ability to make him feel that his life was worse than death. He said that his father was a university professor, which meant that his family would attach great importance to reputation, especially his father. His behavior at the time also confirmed this. A respected university professor had such a despised extreme racist in his family, and his family would be brought shame because of him.

And he himself will never be able to hold his head up in the future.

Of course, if this guy chose to repent instead of hating himself after going to prison, Lin Shangzhou would not be too ruthless. He would give this guy a way out and let him survive in Germany, but when he comes out of prison, the country may have forgotten this person.

These three murderers were the culprits that caused his uncle to leave him, but now when Lin Shangzhou thought of them, in addition to resentment and anger, he also felt a hint of pity, because the three of them were just tools that were used and then thrown away, and the real mastermind behind the scenes was the owner of the club and Klein.

The club owner doesn't have to worry about how to punish him for now. He just needs to follow Louis' method. What Lin Shangzhou really needs to think about is how to punish Klein.

His position in his uncle's murder was that of an accomplice, but Lin Shangzhou also knew that as long as Klein insisted that he did not know they would kill his uncle, he would never be punished in the true sense.

On the one hand, he is the prime minister's nephew. As long as the prime minister does not step down or decline, he will have the protection of his uncle. On the other hand, in the eyes of most people, Klein is just an unwitting accomplice. No matter how much people exaggerate, they will not be overly angry with him.

"Sigh...should I trouble Alexandrine again..."

Lin Shangzhou sighed helplessly. If the German Emperor had the final say, Klein might be sent to jail. Klein was not a nobleman and did not have the protection of privileges. However, doing so would mean pushing Alexandrine into politics. Not to mention whether this little girl could handle things of this or that kind, doing so would cause conflicts between himself and Cecilia.

If he had a bad relationship with Cecilia, it would mean that he would not be able to fully gain the friendship of the German military in the future. If he could not fully gain the support of the military, it would mean that it would be difficult to come up with military national policies in the future.

Moreover, taking action against Klein would intensify the conflict between himself and the prime minister. Before this incident, Lin Shangzhou had no real feelings for the prime minister. He certainly did not have a good impression of him, but he definitely did not hate him. After this incident, he had some resentment towards the prime minister.

These resentments were not enough to make him decide to intensify the conflict between himself and the prime minister and make him stand completely against himself. Politics is not black and white. The prime minister may be his enemy, but he may also be his friend.

Just as the left and right wings now jointly condemn extreme racists, it is possible that he and Chancellor Albert will stand on the same front in the future, for example, during the future World War II.

The question facing Lin Shangzhou now is very simple - whether to take action against Klein.

Taking action can allow you to get your revenge, but the negative impact that comes with it will make your future development difficult. If you don't take action, you won't be able to get complete revenge now, but correspondingly your future development will become much simpler and easier.

After thinking for half an hour, he finally made up his mind.

Lin Shangzhou stood up and let out a long breath, saying self-deprecatingly: "It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge..."

His next goal is to become the chancellor. When he becomes the chancellor in the future and the military also supports the Social Democratic Party, revenge will be an easy thing at that time.

Having said that, Lin Shangzhou still felt very disappointed. He was very envious of the three totalitarian men, Valois, Mosley, and Mo Guangtou. Their centralized dictatorship was simply the best and most convenient way to implement their personal ideas. He also fantasized about what it would be like if he could become someone like them.

Of course, he did not envy Valois very much, and he did not want to die suddenly after obtaining the highest power.

But imagination is just imagination, and envy is just envy. Lin Shangzhou does not really intend to, nor is he willing to, become such a totalitarian dictator... at least he doesn't want to now.

He walked around the office for a while and then continued to work.

At the same time, the special train carrying the German Emperor was less than four hours away from Berlin. After learning on the 12th that Lin Yangyu had been murdered, Alexandrine immediately decided to set off for Flanders and Wallonia to return home. Her uncle Adalbert did not stop her. He had already told Alexandrine everything he wanted to say, and it was up to her to decide what choice she would make next.

Chapter 184 Abandoned Nephew

In the courtyard of the prime minister's residence, there is a small bungalow made of cement. There is only a simple wooden bed and a table without a chair in the room. There is a small iron bucket in the corner of the room. Judging from the smell it emits, it is used for the convenience of people in the room.

Apart from the closed door, the only connection between the room and the outside world is a small window the size of a human head on the north wall. Sunlight shines into the room through this small window, which is the only source of light in this dark room.

Despite the sunlight shining in, the room is still very dim. If the sun sets, the room will become pitch black in the evening.

The sunlight shone through the window onto Klein's face as he lay on the wooden bed. After a few seconds, his tightly closed eyes slowly opened. After seeing the dim room, he sat up from the bed with a look of dissatisfaction on his face, and he also had some complaints about his uncle in his heart.

He didn't have the courage to express his dissatisfaction in front of his uncle, but he would still complain a few words in private.

Klein got out of bed and paced back and forth in the small room. After walking back and forth several times, he stood by the wall and thought about what happened in the past two days. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He clenched his fists and hit the dark wall hard.

boom--

A dull sound was heard, and Klein retracted his hand. Some debris fell from the place where he punched. If there was enough light, people who came to the room would be able to see that the place where he punched was covered with cracks.

Although his punch was very powerful, it was a very simple and easy thing for Klein. He did not take off his titanium necklace when he entered the confinement room. With the help of ether, he could easily kick open the door and walk out of the room if he wanted.

However, Klein came in with the equipment not to escape, but to vent his emotions by punching the wall at this time. In the past, he had tried to hit it with his fists, but the result was cracks on the wall and his fist was injured.

He only tried this self-harming way of venting his anger once and never tried it again.

After venting his impotent rage by hammering the wall, he continued to pace in the room. There was nothing in the small room to entertain him. All he could do was sleep, daydream and eat. Every day at mealtime, the servants would open the window under the door and bring in food. At dinner time, the only light in the room would also light up, but it would go out after five minutes.

If Klein couldn't finish his dinner within five minutes, he would have to eat in the dark.

Klein couldn't understand why the people in that club were so bold as to kill Lin Yangyu directly. Even he had never thought of killing anyone, but that group of people dared to do it.

He also understood why his uncle was so angry. After all, Lin Yangyu was His Majesty's driver. More importantly, he was also involved and acted as an accomplice. If Alexandrine knew about this, he would be in trouble.

That was why Klein proposed to kill Lin Shangzhou as soon as possible before His Majesty returned. As long as they were both killed, the matter could be properly resolved with the help of his uncle's methods.
