Conquering the world from the Kaiser's driver

"Could you please pull him up and kneel on the ground?"

Lin Shangzhou spoke to the two soldiers in a friendly manner. The two soldiers were stunned, and then quickly pulled Klein up and made him kneel on the ground facing Lin Shangzhou.

Klein, who had lived in Qingdao for a while, knew why Lin Shangzhou asked him to kneel in front of him, so he turned his face away and said with a fearless attitude: "Kill me."

Lin Shangzhou shook his head slightly, then said to him: "Why should I kill you? I hate you, but the final punishment for you is the punishment of the laws of the German Empire."

"You will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever, and your deeds will become the laughing stock of future people. On February 1931, 2, there was such a fool who dared to attack the emperor. I don't know what kind of madness it was."

"It's a pity that he didn't know his own limitations and ended up accomplishing nothing."

"Your deeds will become a topic of conversation among people. People will discuss why you were so stupid and why you went crazy to attack the emperor."

"Before you are punished by law, your reputation will be ruined. The German people will always despise you, a wicked person who colluded with extreme racists..."

"The Germans will regard you as a national disgrace... You are not worthy of being a German..."

Lin Shangzhou's harsh words continued to irritate Klein's heart. He actually didn't know what Klein valued most, but since he joined the racist club, he must care about his German identity.

In fact, what Lin Shangzhou said was not vicious. Under normal circumstances, Klein would have simply ignored it. But now it was different. He had just experienced betrayal by his family and his spirit was extremely fragile. Any stimulation would cause the defense line he had built with great difficulty to collapse.

Klein said in a trembling voice: "Stop talking... Stop talking..."

Then Klein suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Shangzhou, saying in a tone that was almost like a request: "Kill me, kill me now!"

Perhaps because he was too excited, Klein even said the wrong words, which made Lin Shangzhou feel a little funny. What made him even more annoyed was that Klein was unwilling to abandon the racial discrimination in his mind even at this time.

Then a somewhat vicious idea popped up in Lin Shangzhou's mind, but this idea was very suitable for punishing Klein. He smiled and said to Klein: "So, Klein, do you want to die?"

Klein nodded quickly, and then Lin Shangzhou's words stunned him.

"If you really wanted to die, you wouldn't have thought of asking me to kill you. There are many ways to commit suicide..."

Lin Shangzhou slowly stood up, looked down at Klein and said word by word: "But you didn't choose to commit suicide, which means you don't want to die. You are afraid of death, you coward!"

"Uh--"

Klein wanted to open his mouth to explain himself, but what Lin Shangzhou said made so much sense that he couldn't refute it.

Lin Shangzhou looked into Klein's eyes, his expression softened a lot, and he seemed not to be going to continue to be aggressive. Then he said calmly: "But this is not your fault. People are born with the fear of death. Under normal circumstances, everyone is afraid of death, so I am not surprised that you are afraid..."

"But Death is not fickle, He is patient, unlike Life..."

After Lin Shangzhou said this, everyone present showed some confusion in their eyes, not understanding what Lin Shangzhou meant.

He turned around and moved his feet, circling Klein, saying as he circled: "You are afraid of death, but death will wait for everyone equally at the end of his life, but life is not like this. Sometimes life fears death, but sometimes it longs for death."

Klein turned his head in confusion and looked at Lin Shangzhou who was circling around him. He didn't understand what Lin Shangzhou was doing.

Lin Shangzhou spoke very slowly. He turned around and just finished saying this sentence. Then he leaned over and whispered in Klein's ear: "There are ways in this world that can make a life that originally fears death become eager for death... and I happen to know a few..."

"If you can beg me for your right to die like a beggar begging passers-by for his mark, then I can be kind enough to let you wait for the death penalty."

After saying that, Lin Shangzhou straightened up and smiled at Klein. This smile that seemed like a spring breeze to others was extremely terrifying in Klein's eyes. He knew very well what Lin Shangzhou meant by what he had just said.

He was insulting me. If I didn't surrender now, what would be waiting for me would be an extremely cruel lynching.

Klein felt a strong fear in his heart. This was the first time he was so afraid of the Chinese man in front of him, whom he had looked down upon in the past. He was afraid that this man would lynch him cruelly.

"I...uh..."

Klein opened his mouth but said nothing. Lin Shangzhou looked down at Klein, who looked like a lost dog, and felt relieved.

He did this purely to tease Klein. If this guy was really a tough guy and was determined not to ask for death, Lin Shangzhou would not really torture him himself. He would entrust Ma Enna to do it. He believed that the people in the Military Intelligence Bureau would be very happy to let him owe them a favor.

Klein's mood was extremely complicated. He didn't want to be tortured, but he was also unwilling to bow to Lin Shangzhou. However, he thought that if he was really tortured, he would not be able to hold on, and then he would beg for death in a more humble manner.

His self-esteem could not imagine how miserable he would be by then.

So Klein, who was intimidated by Lin Shangzhou, whispered to him: "Please... please... please give me the right to die..."

Lin Shangzhou, who was standing in front of him, could definitely hear his voice, but Lin Shangzhou raised the corner of his mouth and pretended not to hear it and said, "What did you say? Speak louder, I didn't hear it."

The next second, Klein slammed his head heavily on the ground, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I beg you to give me the right to die."

This satisfied Lin Shangzhou, but Klein's action also surprised him. Why was this guy kowtowing to him?

However, Lin Shangzhou did not intend to push him any further, as excessive humiliation would damage his image.

Lin Shangzhou smiled with satisfaction. He looked at a soldier standing beside him and said to him kindly, "Excuse me, can I use your pistol?"

The soldier who was asked was confused, but after seeing the prime minister's eyes, he quickly took out his pistol, checked it, and handed it to Lin Shangzhou.

Lin Shangzhou played with the pistol for a while. He liked guns very much, especially when he touched the real thing.

Then he squatted down, put the gun to Klein's head and said to him: "You kill yourself. This is the right to die that I give you."

Klein slowly raised his head and saw Lin Shangzhou with a smile on his face. He didn't understand why Lin Shangzhou could still smile at this time.

Lin Shangzhou pushed the gun in front of Klein and said, "Hurry up. If you hesitate again, I can wait for you to beg me to kill you again later."

Hearing this, Klein began to use his bound hands to grab the pistol. Suicide was a difficult thing for him with his hands bound, but Klein didn't care. He just wanted to end his life quickly.

Seeing that he was holding the gun, Lin Shangzhou also stood up and waited for the gunshot to be heard.

Seeing that Klein was about to commit suicide, Cecilia quickly hugged Alexandrine in her arms, and maids such as Letitia and Noah also turned their eyes away, unwilling to watch such a frightening scene.

Klein held the pistol with difficulty, pointed the muzzle at his chin, then raised his head, took a last look at his uncle Albert and the Chinese man who allowed him to die, and pulled the trigger.

boom--

A gunshot rang out, and some of Klein's warm blood splashed onto Lin Shangzhou's body.

Chapter 190 Gaining a foothold in Berlin

Lin Shangzhou smelled blood in the air and heard tinnitus caused by gunfire. He stared blankly at the body lying at his feet. Unconsciously, he felt a cramp in his abdomen and a feeling of vomiting and nausea surged up in an instant, but he forced himself to hold it back.

While he was in a daze, the prime minister reached out and pulled him back a step, which made Lin Shangzhou come back to his senses. After he came back to his senses, the first thing he saw was the blood that had flowed to his feet.

Albert winked at the two soldiers, and then they lifted up Klein's body and walked to the side. Lin Shangzhou turned his head to watch them leave and said to the prime minister: "Mr. Prime Minister, I think you can rest assured now, right?"

Hearing this, the prime minister was stunned at first, and then a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He knew what Lin Shangzhou meant by this sentence, so he did not play dumb and nodded slightly to him.

"You are a terrible person."

Lin Shangzhou wiped the sweat from his forehead due to discomfort and said to the prime minister sincerely that he knew Klein would die today no matter what. If he did not persuade the prime minister, Klein would die at the hands of his own uncle Albert. If he persuaded the prime minister and did not let Klein commit suicide, he would also die in prison in the next few days.

Lin Shangzhou didn't know why Klein didn't tell him everything he knew. Maybe he was too anxious, or maybe he felt too desperate. But it didn't matter now. This annoying guy was dead.

Another wave of nausea rushed up Lin Shangzhou's throat. He closed his mouth tightly to prevent himself from vomiting. Then he said to the prime minister, "Mr. Prime Minister, I'm going to leave now. I want to go and rest for a while."

"Yeah, I understand, it's normal."

The Prime Minister nodded and said.

Lin Shangzhou turned around and prepared to walk towards the palace. As soon as he turned around, he saw the gazes of Alexandrine and others. When the German Emperor saw him turn around, he ran to him anxiously and asked with concern: "Fritts, are you okay?"

Lin Shangzhou wanted to shake his head and say that he was fine, but after assessing his physical condition, he nodded to Alexandrine. He felt very uncomfortable now, both physically and mentally.

After he nodded, Alexandrine was about to help him to the palace. As soon as she moved, Albert stopped her and said, "Your Majesty, General Volbeck, General Witzleben of the Berlin Garrison, and other generals and dignitaries will arrive at Sanssouci Palace soon. I hope you can go with me to greet them."

Alexandrine didn't want to meet those generals and marshals now. She was more concerned about Lin Shangzhou's situation. However, Lin Shangzhou said to her: "Your Majesty, I think you need to meet with the generals and dignitaries now to reassure them. Don't worry about me. I just need to take a simple rest."

Alexandrine hesitated for a moment before nodding and coming to Albert's side. Cecilia glanced at Lin Shangzhou and then followed her sister.

After Alexandrine left Lin Shangzhou, Leticia wanted to go to Lin Shangzhou immediately, but this time Noah was faster than her. Seeing Noah rushing towards Lin Shangzhou, Leticia stopped just after taking a step.

She looked at Nuoya who was already supporting Lin Shangzhou towards the palace, sighed softly and whispered to herself: "I'll give it to you this time."

Letitia thought that she had improved her relationship with Lin Shangzhou, and the reason why she could improve her relationship with Lin Shangzhou could be said to be given by Noah, so this time it was time for Noah to accompany Lin Shangzhou.

Accompanied by Noah, Lin Shangzhou came to the lounge he had used before. Noah wanted to take him to the nearest room, but this was Lin Shangzhou's request.

Generals, marshals and politicians will arrive one after another soon, and he wants some quiet time.

After entering the room, Lin Shangzhou sat on the sofa. After he sat down, Noah turned around and prepared to go out to get him tea. As soon as she reached the door, she saw Lol coming over with a cart.

After thanking the lovely little girl, Noah pushed the cart into the lounge and closed the door.

She poured a cup of black tea for Lin Shangzhou and herself, and then sat down next to Lin Shangzhou. She turned her head and looked at Lin Shangzhou with concern. After staring at his profile for a few seconds, she said, "Shangzhou, are you feeling okay now?"

Lin Shangzhou was stunned for a moment after hearing Nuoya's voice. He turned his head and looked at Nuoya hesitantly, and asked puzzledly: "Nuoya, you... just called me 'Shangzhou'?"

Seeing Lin Shangzhou's reaction, Noah was a little flustered. She thought Lin Shangzhou didn't like her calling him that, so she hurriedly said to him: "Fritts, if you don't like me calling you that, I won't say that in the future..."

Before she finished her words, Lin Shangzhou chuckled and shook his head. After shaking his head, he smiled at Nuoya and said, "Why are you so flustered? You can call me whatever you want. 'Shangzhou' is not my uncle's exclusive name for me. Other Chinese people I met in Strasbourg also call me that."

"That's it..."

The panic in Noah's heart gradually faded away, replaced by a faint sense of loss and melancholy.

(It seems that I am just being sentimental...)

She originally thought that calling Lin Shangzhou by his real name would bring them closer together, but now it seems that was just wishful thinking on her part.

Although Noah tried her best not to show her emotions, Lin Shangzhou still saw what this girl was thinking - she wanted to get closer to him by changing the way she addressed him.

So he looked at Noah and said softly: "But I am very happy that you can call me that. After all, you are the first girl to call me that."

After hearing Lin Shangzhou's words, Noah's mood immediately cheered up again. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up to form a lovely arc. She was very happy in her heart, but she pretended to be calm and said: "As long as you are happy..."

Seeing Noah's change from disappointment to happiness because of his words, Lin Shangzhou's mood also improved a lot with her mood change. To be more precise, his mood changed when he heard Noah's name for him. The cramps and nausea in his stomach were relieved a lot, and he had no problem speaking normally.

The way Noah addressed him just now was the first time he had heard someone call him by his real name since his uncle passed away. In his heart, both "Lin Shangzhou" and "Frittz Hipper" were his names, but the former had more special meaning.

Lin Shangzhou smiled faintly, and said to Nuoya, who was drinking tea to cover up her emotions: "Nuoya, if possible, I hope you can always call me like this in the future."

The moment Noah heard these words, her eyes suddenly widened. She didn't expect Lin Shangzhou to say that. This made her heart excited for a moment, but the price of her excitement was that she was choked by the tea and was forced to cough.

Seeing this, Lin Shangzhou quickly reached out and patted Noah's back. After coughing for a while, Noah stopped coughing. She took out a handkerchief from her pocket, wiped her mouth, looked up at Lin Shangzhou and smiled widely. Then she nodded vigorously and said generously: "Since you said so, then I will agree to your request, Shangzhou!"

Noah's smile infected Lin Shangzhou, and he also smiled from the bottom of his heart. Then Lin Shangzhou leaned back on the sofa, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a serious expression.

Seeing this change in him, Nuoya quickly stopped smiling and asked with great concern: "Shang Zhou, are you still feeling uncomfortable now?"

After hearing Noah's words, Lin Shangzhou felt strange. The mixture of Chinese and German gave people a strange feeling, but this was his own request, and he would be fine once he got used to it.

Lin Shangzhou nodded gently and said, "Still a little, but I feel much better after seeing you."

His words made Noah a little shy, but she was more happy in her heart. In a good mood, Noah supported herself on the sofa with both hands and asked Lin Shangzhou curiously: "What are you thinking about? Can you tell me?"

"I'm worried about how to deal with the Prime Minister next."

"To deal with the Prime Minister?"

Noah looked at him in confusion, and soon she thought of what Letitia had told her and understood why Lin Shangzhou said that. He was going to run for prime minister in the future, and Albert was his political enemy.

However, she didn't understand political matters, so in her opinion, all she could do was to encourage and support Lin Lin Shangzhou.

Nuoya tilted her head and shook her legs while saying to Lin Shangzhou: "Shangzhou, I am just a girl who came to work as a maid after a few years of schooling, so I don't understand those political things and can't give you any good suggestions and opinions. I will probably be a maid in Wuyou Palace for the rest of my life."

"But if you ever feel tired and want to rest, come find me. I can ask His Majesty for leave and go to your house to cook your favorite dishes for you, hehe~"

At the end, Noah smiled, her smile was a little shy, because these words expressed her true feelings. A year ago, she had fantasized about spending the rest of her life with the man next to her. Now she thought so too, but not as a wife, but as a maid.

In Noya's eyes, if there are no problems in the future, Lin Shangzhou will marry Cecilia, and then she may follow Cecilia as a maid. For her, this is enough. After all, it is very common in the anecdotes of the European upper class for maids to have relationships with their male masters.

Of course the girl had no idea how difficult it would be for a Chinese to marry a Hohenzollern princess.

Lin Shangzhou didn't know what she was thinking, but he understood what the girl said, so he smiled and said to Nuoya: "You don't need to ask for leave occasionally. I will become a frequent visitor to Wuyou Palace in the future. I will come to Wuyou Palace to find you whenever I want to eat. How about that?"

"of course can."

Noah looked into Lin Shangzhou's eyes and nodded vigorously.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Lin Shangzhou got up and walked to the door. He opened the door and saw Alexandrine, Cecilia and Letitia standing behind the door.

"Have the Prime Minister and his men left?"

"Well, the chancellor and Grandpa Forbeck have already left. I have something I want to talk to you about."

Alexandrine said to Lin Shangzhou, holding a brown folder in her hand. Then she looked into the lounge and saw that Lin Shangzhou had no intention of moving away. "No need to go to my office, we can talk here."

"okay."

Lin Shangzhou took a step back to make room for Alexandrine, and then they walked into the lounge.

Noah had stood up from the sofa and stood aside. Alexandrine thanked Noah for helping to take care of Lin Shangzhou, then sat on the sofa, while Lin Shangzhou sat opposite her.

Noah walked to Letitia's side, and then the two whispered a few words. After listening to Noah's words, Letitia showed a faint smile on her face.
