Conquering the world from the Kaiser's driver

They spent a week on this matter. During this week, Letitia demonstrated her qualities as a being from another world, and most of the women were willing to follow them. After discussing with Lister and others, they decided to select representative women from those who were willing to follow them, and after some preparation, they took them from Strasbourg to Berlin.

After the plan was finalized, they began to work hard for it. They did not take the train from Strasbourg to Berlin. They took a truck or a tractor from Strasbourg to Berlin on the road. Only in this way could they achieve what Lin Shangzhou said, "attract enough social attention."

After several days of preparation, on May 30th, a fully prepared women's parade, led by Letitia, began its first parade in Strasbourg. The sudden parade led by women and composed entirely of women immediately attracted widespread social attention.

The reason they used this time was: We want to work!

Letitia gave a speech to reporters and onlookers on the streets of Strasbourg, asking the government to allow the establishment of more factories to recruit female workers and provide women who lost their husbands in the war with a job to support their families.

The speech had a good effect, but there were still some conservatives who clamored that women should stay in the kitchen instead of appearing in the factory. At the same time, the Social Democrats secretly operated within the Strasbourg government, allowing it to choose to play Tai Chi in this matter very smoothly.

In Germany, where conservative forces prevail, it is normal that small local governments dare not violate the central government's major policies. No one would have thought that their internal members were deliberately playing Tai Chi.

The response of the Strasbourg government just happened to be in line with the ideas of Letitia and others. They could take advantage of this opportunity to head north to Berlin. On the second day after the Strasbourg Women's March ended, Letitia led a group of people on a tractor provided by the trade unionists and headed north to Berlin.

Before setting off, the Social Democrats also provided trucks with better performance. However, considering that she was leading a group of women who did not earn much money, Letitia did not choose a truck but a tractor.

However, even the tractor was driven by an elderly woman who had worked in the fields for decades.

Of course, Letitia knew that such a group that seemed to be composed entirely of women could not do without the help of men in every aspect.

This caused her to have mixed feelings, and she also understood Lin Shangzhou's words at the time: "Men can play a supporting role."

When Letitia and her group were heading to the next city, Lin Shangzhou, who was far away in Berlin, learned about their march and Letitia's departure for Berlin. So on June 1, the Vorwarts reported this event that other media in Berlin had not noticed. This incident attracted great social attention in Berlin. On the one hand, people were curious about why such a march took place, and on the other hand, people talked about it. Conservatives severely criticized Letitia and her group's actions and attacked the Vorwarts and other left-wing figures for encouraging and praising their behavior.

As time went by, Letitia and her companions arrived in more and more cities. The further north they went, the greater the resistance they encountered. Some cities did not even allow them to drive tractors into the city. If the Social Democrats had not carried out propaganda activities in those cities in advance to actively respond to their actions and use public opinion to force local governments to allow them to enter the city, Letitia and her companions would probably have to take a detour.

Whenever she arrived in a city, Letitia would give public speeches on the streets, and after the Social Democratic Party members discovered that this girl had a talent for public speaking, they actively supported her speaking activities.

Not only did they provide her with a venue, they also used newspapers and other media to promote her in advance.

Her speeches won them more and more support. All the people, both men and women, who were persuaded by Letitia would sympathize with the plight of women. Under the guidance of the Social Democrats and the advice of some upper-class women who lacked political rights, their goal changed from "We want jobs!" to "We want more rights."

The obstacles to the protest team's northward advance were getting smaller and smaller due to the operations of the Social Democrats and the newspaper Vorwärts. Although the right wing also took countermeasures, they were unable to arrest the protesting women and could only watch the protest team approach Berlin step by step.

This team received more and more attention. When Letitia and her team arrived in Erfurt, the media in Germany that were able to pay attention to this matter were paying close attention to their movements, looking forward to the day they would arrive in Berlin.

Conservatives in Berlin were furious when they learned that the final destination of this "women's army" was Berlin. The powerful Junkers even threatened that "if they arrived outside Berlin, they would eventually be intercepted by the military and police."

The right-wing parties showed little reaction to the remarks, while senior SPD figures Otto Wels and Erich Koch harshly condemned Juncker's words in interviews.

For a time, relations between the left and right wings in Germany became very tense.

Right-wing parties will not allow their authority to be challenged by women, and the SPD will certainly seize this opportunity to increase its influence.

Amid the tense left-right relations, there are some people who seem to be watching the show - the National Liberal Party.

This centrist party has made almost no statement from the beginning to now, except for a few radical liberals praising the protest team. It seems that they don't care about this matter, but it's just an appearance. Their media are more or less praising and encouraging the protest team.

During this period, the newspaper "Vorwarts", which has half the attributes of a Social Democratic Party newspaper, also did its best to increase the influence of this matter throughout Germany and guide public opinion in a direction that is beneficial to women.

The dispute between political parties did not attract much attention. The public was more concerned about the attitude of the Palace of Souci. From the beginning of the incident to now, neither His Majesty nor His Majesty's advisers have made any statement on this. Some media have even revealed that the young girl who led those women and gave speeches was named Letitia Adolf and was an ordinary girl from Strasbourg. These basic information were not important. What was important was that she seemed to have an unspeakable ambiguous relationship with His Majesty's Chinese adviser.

Lin Shangzhou did not make any statement regarding such remarks, and Letitia also chose to remain silent in the face of such questions. Such performances by both sides made the gossipers extremely excited. If the leader of free women and His Majesty's adviser did have an ambiguous relationship, then wouldn't this be a drama of love and hate?

However, the gossipers' thoughts did not attract much attention. Compared with this unrealistic gossip, most people care more about what the final outcome of this matter will be.

Did they arrive in Berlin and be ruthlessly stopped by the police outside the city, eventually returning to the kitchen in disgrace, or did the government make an unexpected compromise and they achieved a breakthrough victory?

People are eager to see the final results, but the distance between the protesters and Berlin shows that patience is a good virtue.

Chapter 223 The Emperor's Thoughts

Alexandrine sat in her chair and looked at the big words on the newspaper with worry: "If they dare to come outside Berlin, they will be intercepted by the military and police."

These words were spoken by a Junker nobleman to the reporters, and it seemed that the guy actually held an official position in the government and had the power to mobilize the police to intercept Letitia and the others.

After reading the content in the newspaper, Alexandrine wanted to immediately express her support for Letitia and others, and support German women in fighting for their rights. However, Lin Shangzhou pushed her down on the chair when she wanted to stand up and run to the parliament to express her opinion. Lin Shangzhou believed that she did not have enough strength to go against the right-wing conservative forces.

Lin Shangzhou did not tell her the reason why he did this, and although Alexandrine was dissatisfied with this, after being unhappy for a while, she persuaded herself by saying, "Fritts must have his reasons for doing this."

Seeing that her sister was worried about what was written in the newspaper, Cecilia came to her side, took the newspaper from her hand and said, "Sister, don't pay attention to what they say. The military will never do such a meaningless thing."

Alexandrine was not relieved by her sister's comfort. She looked up at Cecilia with a worried look and said, "Lia, I know the army won't do such meaningless things, but the police will do it... What if they use violence against Letitia and the others? What if Letitia gets hurt?"

"this…"

Cecilia didn't know what to say. What her sister said was indeed right. The army would not do that kind of thing, but the police would. She didn't care if other people got hurt or not, but if Letitia got hurt, it would be difficult to deal with.

The Kaiser stood up from his chair and began to pace back and forth in the room. As she walked, she said to Cecilia, "Fritts said that as long as Letitia brings the team to the gate of the Palace of Sanssouci, everything will be easy. I know this, but I am worried that they will be stopped by the police and cannot come to the Palace of Sanssouci."

"If they can't come to Wuyou Palace, then I can't help them directly. Although I can leave Wuyou Palace and go find them myself, if Fritz knew about this, he would definitely be angry. I also think this is a bit inappropriate..."

Alexandrine paced and told her sister about her thoughts. After walking a few circles, Cecilia couldn't stand it anymore. She stepped forward and pressed her sister's shoulders to make her stop. She said to her, "Okay, okay, sister, don't walk around in circles. If Letitia and the others are stopped by the police, I can bring people to help them out."

"Eh?"

Alexandrine, who was being held on the shoulder by her, was stunned. Why didn't she think of this?

Cecilia's words made her feel relieved, but within a few seconds Alexandrine realized something was wrong. Cecilia meant to bring people with her, meaning the Storm Commandos. However, the Storm Commandos belonged to the army. If she brought people with her, wouldn't it cause a conflict between the police and the army?

"Leah, isn't there anything wrong with what you're doing? What if it causes a conflict between the army and the police?"

Cecilia couldn't help but feel very amused when she heard her sister's words. She pulled her sister to sit down on the sofa, and then explained to her: "Sister, you don't have to worry about this. How dare the police conflict with us? The Storm Commando is an elite magic force and a special force loyal to the emperor. I will bring people over to help to show others your attitude towards this matter."

"As for other things, don't think too much about it. You can't rely on Fritz's opinion on everything. Even he can make mistakes sometimes. You have to make your own judgment."

"If you want to help Leticia, then go and help Leticia. You can't go in person, but I'm still here. I can go in your place."

Alexandrine pursed her lips and nodded to Cecilia after a brief thought. Her sister was right. She couldn't always rely on Fritz's opinion. She had to make her own judgment when facing things. She also knew that Lin Shangzhou had asked Letty to help her process the documents in order to train her own abilities.

If I have to listen to Lin Shangzhou's opinions on all matters, I will not be able to grow at all.

Alexandrine then said to her sister, "Leah, I'm counting on you. When Letitia and the others arrive in Berlin, please bring them safely to the gate of the Palace of Sanssouci."

"Well, don't worry."

Cecilia smiled and took her sister's hand.

The Souci Palace had decided how to protect Letitia, and the Vorwarts newspaper was also carrying out a plan to help Letitia. Because of Letitia's excellent speaking skills and the help of the Social Democratic Party, public opinion had already developed in a direction that was favorable to them. All Vorwarts had to do was to add a little fuel to the flames.

This was a very simple and easy task for the already skilled newspaper Vorwarts. Goebbels didn't even have to get involved; the employees he had trained could complete the job.

Lin Shangzhou was reading today's edition of Central Daily News in his office. This newspaper also published the "grand words" of the conservative Junker. When he first saw the remarks, the first thing he thought of was that the army would not do such a meaningless thing. Then, because he was too worried, he went to visit Volbeck to be on the safe side.

The old general told him not to worry about such things. The Junker who made such "big words" was not a general in the army. He had no ability to mobilize the army, and the Berlin garrison would not do such a stupid thing.

Only after getting the assurance from Forbeck did Lin Shangzhou finally feel relieved.

He put down the newspaper, and when he thought about Letitia's arrival in Leipzig, he felt extremely complicated emotions in his heart. He was worried that the police would intercept Letitia and her team. He was also very pleased that Letitia had done this. At the same time, he felt sorry for this girl. He could imagine what kind of difficulties Letitia had gone through to lead the team to Leipzig. Although he knew that the difficulties Letitia encountered were greatly alleviated by her personal ability, the SPD's full help and the propaganda of "Forward", Lin Shangzhou was still very worried about Letitia.

With Catherine around, Lin Shangzhou was not worried that Letitia would get hurt. What he was worried about was Letitia's physical and mental fatigue.

Almost half a month has passed since the protest team set out. As far as he knows, Letitia is surrounded by countless things every day, going to bed late and getting up early every day. This kind of life is okay for a few days, but if it continues for half a month, it will have an impact on the body.

"You are so absorbed in thinking about things. Are you worried about Letitia?"

The familiar voice that suddenly came to his ear startled Lin Shangzhou and pulled him back from his thoughts. He looked forward and saw Louis standing in front of his desk.

Lin Shangzhou said to Lewis self-reproachfully: “Yes, can I worry about her…if it weren’t for me, she wouldn’t do this.”

"So what are you going to do when she comes to Berlin?"

Louis put his hands on the table and asked Lin Shangzhou. After this happened, he was very curious about how Lin Shangzhou, a sinful man, would deal with the conflict with Letitia.

Lin Shangzhou sighed and said, "What else can I do? Just apologize honestly. After all, it was me who said the wrong thing that made her angry. If I don't apologize, I can't expect her to apologize. Otherwise, my uncle will come to my dream and beat me to death."

In his mind, he was the one who made the mistake first, so he should apologize to Letitia first. He didn't want to see a rift in the relationship between him and Letitia. If he made this good girl angry and left, his uncle would really come to him in his dream and beat him up.

Louis reached out and patted Lin Shangzhou on the shoulder and said, "Then keep going. If you can have a good talk with her, it won't be difficult to resolve the conflict."

"hope so…"

Lin Shangzhou leaned back in his chair and waited for Letitia and the others to arrive in Berlin.

Chapter 224 Outside Berlin

On the road from Potsdam to Berlin, there is a team that would definitely surprise others - tractors and trucks each carrying a dozen women are driving at a constant speed on this wide road leading to Berlin, the capital of Germany.

Behind them are the reporters who have been following them all the way. These reporters are not willing to let go of such headlines easily.

Banners with protest slogans were hung on both the tractor and the truck. After more than half a month of hard work, Letitia and her friends finally arrived near Berlin from Strasbourg.

On the tractor, Letitia rubbed her sore and sleepy eyes and looked at the vague urban community visible to the naked eye in the distance. As the distance got closer, her mood became more and more nervous.

Letitia knew the Junker's "big words", so since they set out from Potsdam, she had been worried that they would be intercepted by the police in the next second.

If the police decided to suppress and intercept them, then this group of unarmed women would have to face failure. Letitia really wanted to see these women of different ages who were willing to follow her return home safely, so when she had no choice, Letitia would rather let the team turn around and leave than confront the police head-on.

In addition to Letitia, there were more than a dozen other women on the tractor. The oldest was an elderly woman who was driving the car, and she looked to be in her fifties. The youngest was a young girl who was observing Letitia's expression. She had been paying attention to Letitia's expression since they set out. She didn't understand why Letitia looked so worried when success was so close.

In order to cheer up her sister whom she admired so much, she stood up and came to Letitia's side. After asking the person who was originally sitting next to her to move, the girl sat down. She held Letitia's hand and said with a smile: "Sister Letitia, why have you been frowning all the way? We are just a little bit closer and we will arrive in Berlin, right? You should be happier."

The girl also thought of what Letitia might be worried about, so she advised: "Sister, don't worry too much about that bad guy. How could the police stop a group of unarmed women like us?"

"Um…"

Letitia turned her head to look at her companions in the car who were concerned about her and gave a forced smile, then turned her head away and looked at the city in the distance with a frown.

Unlike her optimistic companions, what she encountered along the way made her believe that the police would most likely stop them outside Berlin. After all the hard work and exhaustion, Letitia also understood why Lin Shangzhou said, "I won't let you do this!"

He was worried about her and that was why he didn't want her to do this difficult thing. When she thought of this, Letitia's feelings became complicated. She no longer blamed Lin Shangzhou, but instead felt an awkward mood that she didn't know how to face...

(Why think about these things now? Think about what you would do if you really ran into the police first.)

Letitia quickly shook her head and dispelled the idea. She could think about how to face Lin Shangzhou after this matter was over. What mattered now was the current situation.

"Sister Letitia, the newspapers said that you had an affair with the emperor's Chinese advisor. Is that true or false?"

The voice that came to her ears made Letitia's heart, which had already calmed down, become confused again. She looked straight ahead at the road without answering the girl's question. When the girl saw that Letitia did not answer, she was going to continue asking, but Catherine glared at her and made her calm down.

The women in both cars knew that Letitia did have an affair with the strange man they didn't know. In order not to affect Letitia, they avoided talking about this issue all the way. Only the daughter of the rich businessman was very concerned about this issue.

After being glared at by Catherine, the girl looked at her with dissatisfaction and then shut her mouth obediently.

However, to their surprise, after the girl shut up, Letitia turned to face her and said, "Sasha, I do like Fritz Hipper..."

The girl named Sasha looked surprised when she heard what Letitia said, but her expression stopped abruptly when she heard what Letitia said next.

"But I had a conflict with him before, and I said some hurtful things to him. He probably hates me now."

Letitia spoke to her companions with a calm expression, but her moist eyes showed that her emotions were not as calm as she appeared.

She wiped away the tears that were about to flow, smiled at Sasha and said, "Okay, let's not talk about those things for now. Let's think about what to do next."

"Um…"

The girl finally realized that she asked questions that she shouldn't have asked. She nodded and shut her mouth obediently, not asking any more unnecessary questions.

The tractor fell silent.

As they got closer and closer to Berlin, Letitia became more and more nervous. A few minutes later, when Letitia saw a black car blocking the middle of the road in the distance, her heart instantly lifted. The thing she least wanted to see happened.

The women on the tractor and truck also saw the police blocking the road in the distance, and they became nervous after seeing them.

A few minutes later, the tractor stopped in front of a roadblock set up by the police. Standing on the tractor, Letitia looked at the group of unarmed women and fully armed policemen facing her. She took a deep breath and jumped off the tractor. After she jumped off the tractor, Catherine followed suit and stayed by her side to protect her safety.

After the two of them jumped out of the car, other people on the tractor and truck also got off one after another. They gathered behind Letitia and walked towards the police with her without fear.

The police who were responsible for intercepting them didn't know what to do when they saw this group of women walking towards them. They thought that they could scare these women away just by appearing here, but the reality was that they walked towards them without fear.

This was something they had not expected, and they had not thought about how to deal with such a thing.

"Sir…what are we going to do?"

A policeman asked his superior beside him. His superior glared at him, then pinched his eyebrows in distress. He now admired the group of women in front of him from the bottom of his heart, especially the girl walking in front.

He was unwilling to bring people to carry out this mission in the first place. It was too damn damaging to his reputation. If it wasn't for the girl walking in the front, it would be fine. He could be ruthless and drive these women away. It was not impossible to use a little force... But the girl leading the group was the mistress of the Emperor's advisor. If he used force against them and accidentally hurt the girl, then his future life would be in jeopardy.

And there are damn reporters here. If the reporters exaggerate the reports, he will still be in trouble.

So he took the initiative to walk out of the interception team, hoping to persuade them to go back.

"Ladies, I know it's not easy for you to come to Berlin with so much difficulty, but I still want to ask you to return the way you came."
