Conquering the world from the Kaiser's driver

Cecilia nodded, looked at the airport in the distance and said, "Well, we're almost there."

Lin Shangzhou moved closer to the window and looked at the airport in the distance with them, looking forward to the person he would meet next.

Bode stopped the car in front of the airport gate. He rolled down the window and said to the sentry who was walking over: "Your Majesty wants to come here to inspect the flying troops."

"His Majesty?"

The sentry was stunned, and then felt extremely confused. They had not received any news about His Majesty coming here, let alone His Majesty coming to inspect the flying troops? Is this possible?

Then he saw Cecilia sitting in the co-pilot seat. After seeing Cecilia, the sentry realized that what Bode said was true, and His Majesty was indeed coming here to inspect the flying unit.

So he hurriedly asked his companion to open the gate. After the gate was opened, Bode said to the sentry: "Her Majesty doesn't want others to disturb her for the time being. She wants to see what the current situation of the flying troops is."

The sentry nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, I understand."

He understood what Bode meant. Since they had not received any prior notice, it meant that His Majesty did not want anyone to disturb her, so he would not notify his superiors.

Bode rolled up the window, stepped on the accelerator and drove into the airport gate. He drove slowly towards a three-story building according to his memory, then stepped on the brakes and stopped the car next to the barracks.

After the car stopped, Alexandrine couldn't wait to open the door and get out. Seeing this, Lin Shangzhou said to Alexandrine who had already opened the door, "Alexandrine, don't get out of the car for now. If you get out, it might scare the people in the flying unit. They will never think that His Majesty will come here to inspect. Let me and Bode go meet them first, and you and Cecilia can get out of the car later."

"Hmm... okay.

Alexandrine pouted reluctantly and then closed the car door.

Lin Shangzhou opened the car door and got out with Bode, while Alexandrine and Cecilia stayed in the car.

Bode came to Lin Shangzhou, pointed at the building in front of him and said: "Mr. Hipper, this is where my uncle works on weekdays, and other people usually work in here.

Lin Shangzhou looked up at the building, then said to Bode, "Come on, let's go in."

"Okay, I'll show you the way."

Bode walked ahead of Lin Shangzhou, and Lin Shangzhou followed him up the stairs.

On the way upstairs, Bode told Lin Shangzhou some things about his uncle Manfred. After reaching the third floor, Bode took him to Manfred's office.

Bode knocked on the office door three times, but there was no response, so he knocked three more times, still no response. He felt a little confused, reached out and turned the doorknob, and when he found that it would not turn, he realized that his uncle should be in the aircraft warehouse.

He turned to Lin Shangzhou and said, "Mr. Hipper, my uncle should be in the engine room now. I will go and call him over to you. Please wait here for a while."

"Well, you go."

Lin Shangzhou nodded indifferently. After watching Bode go downstairs, he came to the guardrail and lay on it, looking at the runway in the distance and the engine room at the end of the runway.

After a few seconds, he heard the sound of a door opening. He turned around and saw a black-haired boy walking out of a room. He stood by the door and looked at Lin Shangzhou who was lying on the guardrail. When Lin Shangzhou saw him come out, he turned around and leaned against the guardrail to look him up and down.

The boy looked to be about eleven or twelve years old, with a very standard Germanic look, one could even describe him as handsome. Even Lin Shangzhou was amazed when he saw him.

"Are you here to see Uncle Manfred?"

The boy closed the door, came to Lin Shangzhou, looked up at him and asked.

Lin Shangzhou nodded and said, "Well, I have something to discuss with Mr. Richthofen."

After that, he turned his head to look at the closed office door, shrugged and said, "But it's obvious that I came at the wrong time. Mr. Richthofen is not here."

The boy came to the guardrail, pointed at the engine room at the end of the distance and said: Uncle Manfred went to the engine room to maintain the plane.

Lin Shangzhou turned around and lay on the guardrail, looking at the machine room in the distance. He saw Bode running towards there.

"Well, Mr. Richthofen's nephew Bode has gone to see him."

The boy turned his head and looked at Lin Shangzhou in confusion and said, "Aren't you going with us? Uncle Manfred never stops to see others when he's maintaining the plane, unless others go to see him."

"It's okay, he'll come to see me."

Lin Shangzhou chuckled and said that Manfred might not take the initiative to come to see him, but the Red Baron would definitely take the initiative to come to see the emperor he was loyal to.

He turned to the boy and asked, "My name is Fritz Hipper, what about you? What's your name?"

The boy looked up at Lin Shangzhou with pride, and then proudly said his name: "My name is Hans Joachim Marseille!"

"Marceiu..."

Lin Shangzhou was indescribably surprised. Isn’t this the “Star of Africa”? How did he meet him here?

Marseille heard Lin Shangzhou whispering his last name, thinking that he was shocked by his name, and felt very proud, so he said even more proudly: "Yes, Marseille, General Giacomo Frio of the Magic Force is my father!"

"Oh…"

Lin Shangzhou responded nonchalantly. He only knew that Marseille was an excellent pilot, and he didn't know much else about him.

Marseille was very surprised by Lin Shangzhou's reaction. You know, his father is the general of the magic army. Others would definitely be in awe of this. Even if they didn't say in awe, they would definitely not be as indifferent as the man in front of him.

Marseille said to Lin Shangzhou dissatisfiedly: "What are you talking about? My father is the general of the magic army. Don't you have any other ideas in your mind?"

Lin Shangzhou was amused by what the kid said, as if he had to express something to his father. Of course he respected soldiers, but he would not express anything in front of such a little brat.

He leaned over to Marseille, raised his eyebrows, chuckled and said, "I know your father is the general of the magic army, but do you know who I am?"

"Who are you?"

Marseille frowned and asked in confusion. At the same time, he was also thinking about the name of the man in front of him. Thinking about it, he felt that he seemed to have heard this man's name somewhere. As his memory became clearer, Marseille recalled where he saw this man's name. It was in a newspaper. The content of the newspaper was "His Majesty the Emperor's Chinese Advisor - Fritz Hipper."

Thinking of this, Marseille's frown gradually relaxed, and his expression changed from dissatisfaction to surprise. The man in front of him was the emperor's advisor? !

Seeing Marseille's changed expression, Lin Shangzhou's smile became even more intense. Marseille realized his mistake after seeing his smile, and quickly glanced to the side and muttered angrily: "Even if you are the emperor's advisor, you are not the emperor. Uncle Manfred will not come to see you."

"Hahaha…"

Lin Shangzhou straightened up and glanced over at the computer room. He saw from afar that Bode was rushing towards this side with a man. If nothing unexpected happened, the man following Bode was Manfred von Richthofen.

After seeing the two people rushing over here, Lin Shangzhou's eyes turned and he came up with an idea. He said to Marseille: "Since you said Mr. Richthofen will not come to see me, how about we make a bet."

Marseille was convinced that Manfred would not come to see Lin Shangzhou. When he heard about the bet, he immediately became interested and thought he would definitely not lose.

"What's the bet? What's the stakes?"

Lin Shangzhou smiled evilly and said, "Let's bet whether Mr. Richthofen will come to see me. If he doesn't come, you win. You can ask me to do something for you, as long as it's not too excessive."

"If he comes, you lose. I want you to stop using your father's last name to show off. At least, don't let what happened just now happen again. How about that?"

After saying that, Lin Shangzhou crossed his arms and looked at Marseille with interest. He also glanced at Bode and Manfred who were rushing over here.

"of course can!"

Marseille agreed to Lin Shangzhou's bet without hesitation.

Then, a minute later, hurried footsteps were heard on the stairs. After hearing at least two footsteps, Marseille's face turned bad.

Then, a dozen seconds later, Marseilleton was stunned when he saw a blond man in a white short-sleeved shirt and overalls walking up to him.

Why did Uncle Manfred really come here? !

Chapter 214 Red Baron

Lin Shangzhou watched Bode and Manfred walk up the stairs, glanced proudly at Marseille, then walked up to Manfred and extended his hand to him: "Good afternoon, Captain Richthofen."

He looked at the man in front of him. Lin Shangzhou's first impression of the Red Baron was that he was handsome. But now the man in front of him, who was in his thirties, had a bit more perseverance from the years and was more charming than when he was young.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Hipper."

Manfred stretched out his hand and shook it with Lin Shangzhou. After releasing his hand, he looked at the corridor and asked Lin Shangzhou in confusion, "Mr. Hipper, where is His Majesty?"

He put down the work of maintaining the aircraft and rushed to see Lin Shangzhou because his nephew Bode said that His Majesty was coming. Otherwise, Manfred would still be there maintaining the aircraft.

Although the emperor's adviser can be equated with the emperor to a certain extent, in Manfred's eyes, this adviser is not worthy of him putting down his aircraft maintenance work to see him.

Lin Shangzhou did not answer him immediately, but walked to the door of the office and said to him: "Captain Richthofen, if you want to see His Majesty, you need to talk to me first. This is His Majesty's intention."

"I understand what your majesty means."

Manfred thought for a few seconds, then nodded, walked to the office door, took out the key and opened the door.

After the door was opened, Manfred walked in, and Lin Shangzhou came to Marseille's side and smiled and said to him: "I won, you must abide by the agreement."

Marseille turned his face away angrily, and although he looked reluctant, he still nodded. It was not shameful to lose the bet, but it would be shameful to cheat and not abide by the agreement after losing the bet.

Seeing him nod reluctantly, Lin Shangzhou patted his shoulder with relief, then turned and walked into Manfred's office. Bode asked Marseille to return to the room he had been in before and followed him in.

Marseille knew that they were going to talk about something, and logically he should go back to the room he had just been in or go somewhere else, but after Bode closed the office door, he walked over quietly and leaned against the door to eavesdrop on the conversation inside.

After entering the office, Manfred first picked up the flight jacket on the hanger beside him and put it on, then invited Lin Shangzhou to sit down, while Bode stood aside.

Manfred crossed his legs and asked Lin Shangzhou, who was sitting opposite him: "So... Mr. Hipper, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"In recent days, because of her envy of Lady Cecilia, Her Majesty has become interested in airplanes, so she wants to come here to watch you fly in the sky. If possible, I think she would also like to experience the feeling of flying in an airplane herself."

Lin Shangzhou answered, and his answer surprised Manfred. The Queen was interested in airplanes? At the same time, a hope that had been extinguished for a long time was ignited in his heart - the hope of the development and growth of the flying unit.

He knew that the previous emperor, William II, favored the navy, so the German Empire's navy became the second largest in the world before the war, and became the largest in the world after the war.

The influence of the monarch's preferences can be seen from this. If the queen is interested in airplanes, it will definitely drive the development of the flying force.

A gleam of determination flashed in Manfred's blue eyes. He was determined to seize this opportunity and win the support of His Majesty the Emperor at all costs.

"Captain Richthofen, can you have the flying corps perform for His Majesty?"

Manfred was about to nod when he heard this, but the moment he raised his head, a picture flashed through his mind, a scene of a group of unshaven men reeking of alcohol gathering together in a bar to drink.

After the war, some members of the flying corps retired or changed jobs, and only a few elite members remained in the corps. However, the hopes of these young men who initially believed that "we will definitely be valued" inevitably turned into disappointment as time passed.

So they started to play badly, and although Manfred repeatedly emphasized this to them, he could only turn a blind eye to the fact that they were not taken seriously.

Thinking of the recent state of his teammates, Manfred suddenly wanted to reject the Emperor's request today and ask her to come back another day, at least until he had sorted out that group of bastards.

Manfred said to Lin Shangzhou with difficulty: "Uh - I'm sorry, Mr. Hipper, my team members have been slack in recent times and are not in the best condition, so I implore you to persuade Her Majesty to come another day or tomorrow. I hope to show our best side to Her Majesty."

Lin Shangzhou raised his eyebrows. This kind of thing was within his expectations. He could ask Alexandre to come back another day, but he didn't plan to do that.

He knew that Manfred was worried that Alexandrine would be disappointed with the members of the flying corps after seeing their depressed spirits and would give up supporting them. However, this was a small problem. Even if Alexandrine was disappointed with the mental state of the members of the flying corps today, she would not give up supporting the flying corps in the future.

Because Lin Shangzhou will not give up.

So he said to Manfred: "I think that is not necessary, but I would like to see your team, Captain Richthofen, before letting your Majesty see them."

"If your team members can adjust their status in a short period of time, doesn't this mean that the members of the flight unit are all capable pilots?"

After saying that, Lin Shangzhou smiled at Manfred and waited for his answer.

Seeing Lin Shangzhou's attitude, Manfred knew that he would have to let His Majesty meet his men today, and what Lin Shangzhou said made sense. Refusing His Majesty might cause His Majesty to lose interest in the flying unit.

So he nodded and said, "Okay, please follow me."

After saying that, Manfred stood up and walked towards the door. Marseille, who was at the door, heard the noise inside and hurriedly turned around and ran back to his room. In order to avoid the sound of the door closing to arouse suspicion, he did not close the door but left it ajar.

Lin Shangzhou also stood up and followed Manfred out of the office, with Bode following closely behind.

The three of them walked down the stairs. Lin Shangzhou did not follow Manfred, but changed direction and came to his car. Manfred looked at him puzzledly. Seeing this, Bode leaned close to his uncle and whispered a few words in his ear. After hearing his nephew's words, Manfred's expression became very interesting.

Who the hell could have imagined that the Emperor of the German Empire was actually sitting in that car, and what was even more unexpected was that the girl inside was actually the Emperor of the German Empire.

He only glanced at the car as he approached and had only a vague impression of the people sitting inside.

Manfred didn't know what to say. After calming down, he quickly walked towards the car. Since His Majesty was sitting inside, he had to go over and say hello to His Majesty.

He walked over to Alexandrine who had just gotten off the car and greeted her. Alexandrine nodded to him and then asked, "Captain Richthofen, where are your team members?"

Before Manfred could answer, Lin Shangzhou said to Alexandrine, "Your Majesty, the members of the flying unit are resting today, so they are not ready to see you yet. I am going to meet those members with him and ask them to get ready."

Alexandrine looked at Manfred, then at Lin Shangzhou, nodded and said, "Oh...Is that so? Then you guys go ahead, I'll continue to wait here."

Seeing this, Manfred quickly invited Alexandrine to his office and asked her to sit down. How could he let the emperor wait in the car?

After settling Alexandrine, Lin Shangzhou, Manfred and Bode went to the small bar provided for the flight unit members at the airport to find those depressed pilots.

Chapter 215 Historical Classics

Lin Shangzhou followed Manfred and Bode to a small bar in the airport. When he arrived at the door of the bar, he heard sounds of beating and scolding coming from inside.

Manfred's expression immediately turned fierce when he heard this. He quickened his pace and wanted to kick the door in to scold his subordinates. When he raised his foot to kick the door, Lin Shangzhou held his shoulder.

"Captain Richthofen, don't be impulsive. I want to go in and see them first. Please wait outside."

Manfred retracted his foot, turned his head and looked at Lin Shangzhou with some confusion, but did not ask why. He moved aside to make way for Lin Shangzhou.
