Conquering the world from the Kaiser's driver

After Papen conveyed his ideas to his secretary, Albert looked at his successor, who had been badly betrayed by him, with satisfaction. He felt somewhat guilty towards Papen. After all, he knew what a mess he had left for Papen. So as compensation to him, Albert would help Papen more in the future.

The reorganized German government acted much more efficiently than before. The government's attitude spread throughout Berlin within ten minutes. People who were still speculating on the outcome of this incident immediately reacted to the news: This is fake.

But then, after seeing the government's statement that it was willing to negotiate with the leaders of the protest team, they were shocked to find that the government had actually chosen to compromise and give in. Before actually seeing this kind of thing, who would have dared to think that Germany's conservative and traditional Center Party government would actually choose to compromise and give in on this matter.

After being shocked, people saw something even more surprising. The leader of the protest team, a girl named Letitia Adolf, did not immediately accept the goodwill released by the government. Instead, she chose to lead her team and follow Her Majesty's advisers to the Solemn Palace. Although it was not stated explicitly, everyone knew that Her Majesty Alexandrine wanted to meet these women.

Things have developed to this point, and the next result is obvious. German women will gain rights that they have never had before...or rights that should have belonged to them.

Perhaps the government will not fully agree to all their demands, but as long as the first step is taken, the second and third steps will be easy. Moreover, Her Majesty Alexandrine also supports the women's liberation movement. After this incident, after today, German women will be "liberated" differently from the past and from women in other countries!

For safety reasons, the women going to the Carefree Palace underwent a simple screening. Cecilia only allowed the women who followed Letitia at the beginning to go to the Carefree Palace. The number of people decreased from dozens to more than a dozen. This made Sasha and others a little dissatisfied. They were not bad people, and no one would pose a threat to Alexandrine. Why couldn't everyone go?

She only said this to the people around her and didn't dare let Cecilia know.

On the way to Wuyou Palace, Letitia was not with her companions. Lin Shangzhou wanted to ask Letitia something, so she and Cecilia got into Lin Shangzhou's car together.

Lin Shangzhou looked up at the rearview mirror, and through it he glanced at the two girls in the back seat. He looked at Letitia, who was sitting on the right, and when he found that his eyes met hers, he asked, "Letitia, you are asking them for more rights, so are you ready to shoulder more responsibilities?"

Obligations and rights are relative. In a country, while a person enjoys rights, he or she must also shoulder corresponding obligations. Since women demand more rights, they must also assume corresponding obligations. If they only want rights but not obligations, then it is not the women's liberation movement or women's rights, but women's boxing.

However, Lin Shangzhou would not have too high expectations for people of this generation. Being overly harsh in an era when the women's liberation movement is developing would ultimately lead to bad consequences.

He asked this just to see what Leticia thought. If her answer was incorrect, he would try to influence Leticia's thinking. He didn't want to see Leticia become a "female fighter".

After hearing Lin Shangzhou's question, Letitia nodded her head to him without hesitation. She looked into Lin Shangzhou's eyes in the rearview mirror and said firmly: "Fritts, of course. When we changed the slogan, we were ready to take on more obligations."

"That's good."

Lin Shangzhou smiled with satisfaction when he heard this. He retracted his gaze and looked at the road in front of him, focusing on the journey ahead.

Chapter 227 Final Result

More than half an hour later, Lin Shangzhou led the protest team to Wuyou Palace. After parking the car in the open space in front of the palace, everyone got out of the car. The women who followed Letitia to Wuyou Palace were all ordinary women. After entering the gate of Wuyou Palace, they looked around the front yard of Wuyou Palace like Liu Laolao.

After jumping off the tractor, their eyes were fixed on the magnificent and huge palace in front of them. On the way here, Letitia had told them about Alexandrine and Cecilia. They felt incredible when they knew that the emperor was just a 16-year-old girl.

They knew that the emperor was the empress, but before Letitia told them about Alexandrine, in their eyes the empress should be a woman in her twenties or thirties. She was not that old, so she should at least be an adult. But who knew that she was only 16 years old.

When they thought that Alexandrine was only 16 years old, many people looked at the Worshipful Palace with deep envy. However, before they could feel the envy for a few seconds, they saw Letitia greeting them, so they slightly suppressed their emotions and followed Letitia's footsteps up the stairs.

After entering the palace, they unexpectedly discovered that Letitia was walking naturally in the corridor of the Palace of Carefree Palace without the guidance of a maid, as if she was back home. This strange behavior made Sasha puzzled. She quickly walked to Catherine and whispered to her about Letitia.

After thinking about it, Catherine thought it was okay to tell them now, so she simply told Sasha that Letitia was a maid in the Palace of Souci. Soon everyone knew about it. They were extremely surprised, but because they were in the corridor of the Palace of Souci, they suppressed their emotions and only whispered to each other.

Letitia, who was walking in front, noticed the movement behind. She could vaguely guess what happened, but she didn't have any special thoughts about it. Since they had already come to Wuyou Palace, it didn't matter if she let them know that she was a maid of Wuyou Palace.

Everything went very smoothly afterwards. Alexandrine received them warmly. The women in the protest team had a great liking for Alexandrine, the young and lively queen, and the tension in their hearts quickly disappeared.

Alexandrine learned about their demands in detail. After knowing what rights they wanted, she chatted with them about family matters. Then she asked Elena to temporarily place them in the Sans Souci Palace. She herself was going to meet Papen. She wanted to discuss with Papen in person how to properly handle this incident.

Lin Shangzhou took her, Cecilia and Letitia to the Capitol. When they arrived there, he unexpectedly found that Albert was also in Papen's office. Lin Shangzhou didn't understand why Albert was here? Didn't he resign and retire?

Although he really wanted to ask Albert what he thought, given the situation on the scene he put the question to himself. It didn't matter if he didn't ask the question, as the matter would eventually be properly resolved anyway.

In the following time, Alexandrine discussed the solution of this matter with Papen with the help of Lin Shangzhou and Albert.

During the discussion, Alexandrine also made a controllable compromise under Lin Shangzhou's suggestion in light of the situation. After all, insisting on being tough would not benefit anyone.

The final result of this incident was that the German government recognized women's legitimate demands for rights, and at the same time, legally granted women the right to vote and recognized other rights demanded by Letitia and others.

Although the right-wing parties in parliament were very dissatisfied, they could only swallow their dissatisfaction in the face of more than 60% of the votes in favor and the collusion between the emperor and the chancellor, and watched helplessly as women's voting rights were written into the Constitution of the German Empire.

On the surface this seems to be a very good processing result, but in fact it is not so "perfect".

The right to vote for women is only granted to those who meet the age requirement and have a certain amount of property. There are only a handful of such women in Germany. Today, the vast majority of adult women in Germany are housewives. Some of them may do simple odd jobs such as sewing clothes to earn marks to supplement their family income, but this money can only be used to supplement their family income.

Without a stable economic income, they have no property, and without property they have no voting rights, so even if they are given the voting rights, it is in the same way as not giving them anything.

However, most people in the protest team could not understand this point. These women who only cared about themselves and their families did not care whether they had the right to vote or not. What they cared about was whether they could find a job.

The German government completely satisfied their needs in this regard, because in the past the German government's attitude in this regard was tacit rejection. Therefore, government spokespersons publicly stated that it allowed and recommended women to participate in factory work and other social work, and a regulation was also introduced in this regard.

Generally speaking, the right to vote is untouchable for right-wing parties. Political matters in Germany have always been controlled by men. They are very tolerant to allow women to work. How can they allow women to appear in politics? (Alexandrine is an exception)

Therefore, the voting right is given but is equivalent to not being given. Letitia is of course dissatisfied with this, but she also knows that the most important thing for German women nowadays is the right to work. With a job, there is income, and with income, there is property that can be saved, and with property, sooner or later, there will be the right to vote.

This is a long-term thing. I am already very satisfied with the result now. If I continue to worry about it too much, I will not be happy.

After walking out of the Capitol, Letitia felt completely relaxed in her heart. After her body relaxed, she was in a trance. She had been working intensively every day for more than half a month, so Letitia planned to return to the Palace of Carefree Palace and then shamelessly ask Alexandrine for a day off to have a good rest.

However, as soon as this thought came to her mind, she was besieged by reporters. Letitia barely gathered her strength to deal with the reporters in front of her. Seeing that she was in a bad state, Lin Shangzhou took the initiative to step forward to help her block those chattering reporters. In the end, she got into the car first. Ten minutes later, Lin Shangzhou and the other two who got rid of the reporters got into the car one after another.

After getting in the car, Lin Shangzhou wanted to ask Letitia something, but before he could open his mouth, Cecilia, who was sitting in the passenger seat, put her finger against his lips.

The sudden action made Lin Shangzhou pause, and then he realized what had happened. He turned his head and saw Letitia sleeping soundly against the chair.

This time it took them longer than ever to return to Wuyou Palace.

Chapter 228 The Time After Waking Up

"Um... um..."

Slowly opening her eyes, Letitia's consciousness gradually became clear. She felt that she was lying on a soft pillow and covered with a thin silk quilt. After seeing the ceiling above her head with the help of the dim bedside lamp in the room, she knew that she was lying in a room in the Worries-free Palace.

She opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling above her head, thinking about what happened before she fell asleep. She remembered that she got into Lin Shangzhou's car, and then she closed her eyes and planned to rest for a while.

(I fell asleep right after taking this break... and even slept until the evening...)

Letitia sat up from the bed. After sitting up, she reached out and rubbed her swollen head. An afternoon of rest did not restore her spirit to the best state, but it was much better than before she fell asleep.

She threw back the quilt and sat on the edge of the bed. After swinging her feet a few times, she put on her slippers, stood up and stretched. After a comfortable stretch, Letitia went to the light switch and turned it on.

Snapped.

As the crisp sound rang out, bright lights instantly illuminated the entire room, which made Letitia's eyes feel a little uncomfortable. She raised her hand to block the light and went to the bedside lamp to turn it off.

Then Letitia stood by the bed and began to tidy up the bedding, folded the quilt neatly, and flattened the sheets that she had messed up. After finishing this very sparse and ordinary thing for her, she sat on the bed and stared at the door a few meters away from her in a daze.

After sitting on the bed for a few seconds, Letitia suddenly realized what she had overlooked, and soon the thing she had overlooked appeared in her mind - the matter of the protest team.

Thinking of this, Letitia hurriedly stood up from the bed, walked to the door, opened it and walked out. After walking a few meters in the corridor, she gradually calmed down and slowed down her pace. She realized that if she fell asleep, Lin Shangzhou would definitely deal with her companion properly.

Letitia turned her head and looked out the window at the front yard illuminated by a few lights. Judging from how dark it was outside, it must be very late now. Sasha and the others should have been settled by Lin Shangzhou, right?

Although the thought in her mind was a question, Letitia believed it very much. She came to the window, stretched out her right hand and placed it on the glass, looking at the night view in the courtyard outside. There were only street lights installed beside the road in the front yard of the Worries Palace, and there were no lighting in the garden. The light from the street lamps was not enough to illuminate the grass in the garden, but it was enough. The Worries Palace was very quiet at night, and no one would go to wander in the garden.

She had seen the scenery outside many times, but Letitia was reluctant to leave. She looked at her reflection in the glass, and her thoughts went back to more than 20 days ago when she had a conflict with Lin Shangzhou and left Wuyou Palace.

Thinking of the scene at that time, Letitia's ears kept echoing what she said to Lin Shangzhou: "You are just my friend!"

Before today, whenever Letitia thought of what happened, she would use the excuse "Now is not the time to think about those things" to distract herself and focus on the work of the protest team. However, now that they have won, Letitia can no longer use that reason to persuade herself.

Whenever that sentence rang in her ears, Letitia's heart became more and more uneasy. She didn't know how Lin Shangzhou would look at her now and what attitude he would have towards her.

During the day, the conflict in her heart towards Lin Shangzhou had disappeared, but did Lin Shangzhou still have dissatisfaction with her? After all, she said that somewhat sad sentence.

A word spoken in anger could end the relationship between the two.

(So ​​I still have to go meet him...?)

Letitia looked at herself in the glass, her mind wavering. She was so efficient and decisive on the way to Berlin, but now she was worried about her relationship problems. If Sasha and the others saw her now, they would probably be shocked.

She was troubled by emotional problems and didn't notice a familiar figure approaching her. The person poked Letitia's right shoulder with his hand, and then took advantage of her reaction time to quickly come to Letitia's left side.

After being poked, Letitia turned her head and looked. When she didn't see anyone, she realized who was poking her. So she turned to the left and smiled at the girl standing on her left - Lol.

"Sister Letitia, you're awake."

Luo Er knew that she would be discovered, so she hugged Letitia's arm with a smile. Letitia didn't get angry at the girl's little prank. She reached out and touched Luo Er's head and asked, "Luol, how are the sisters and aunts who came with me today?"

Luo Er looked up at Letitia and smiled widely, saying, "Sister Letitia, you don't have to worry about them. Don't worry, Brother Fritz has arranged everything."

"That's good…"

After hearing the news from Lol, the weight of the stone in Letitia's heart fell to the bottom of her heart.

"what!"

Luo Er's eyes widened as if she suddenly remembered something, and she let go of Letitia's shoulders and said to her hurriedly: "Sister Letitia, His Majesty told you to go to her office immediately after you wake up."

"Your Majesty asked me to go find her?"

When Letitia heard this, her heart tightened. She knocked on Luo'er's head with some complaints and said, "Luol, why didn't you tell me about this earlier!"

"I forgot..."

Lol twisted her body awkwardly, hoping to dispel the resentment in Letitia's heart by acting cute.

In the past, Luo Er often made such mistakes. She actually did a good job, but if she was serious, she could do better, but she just didn't want to do it.

Letitia held her forehead with worry and said, "You...if you don't change, I really don't know what you're going to do in the future..."

After saying that, she glanced at the moon hanging high in the night sky outside the window. After glancing at the moon, Letitia lowered her head and told Luo Er: "It should be late now. If you are not on duty tonight, go to bed quickly. You are still young, and going to bed early and getting up early is good for your health..."

When Luoer heard Letitia start to chant, her face drooped. She came behind Letitia and pushed her forward impatiently and said, "Okay, okay, I get it. Sister Letitia, go find His Majesty..."

"Then I will go find His Majesty. Remember to go to bed obediently."

Letitia turned around and held Roel's wrist and said, then walked towards Alexandrine's office.

Luo Er stood there and watched Letitia's receding back, a sly smile on her face, which soon disappeared. After watching Letitia enter Alexandrine's office, Luo Er turned around and left, whistling.

Chapter 229 Two people are in love

In the past, Alexandrine would have gone to rest at this time, and it was impossible for Letia to see her. However, after what happened during the day today, Letia thought it was reasonable for Alexandrine to continue to stay in the office at night, so she did not notice anything wrong.

There is indeed someone in Alexandrine's office now, but it is not Alexandrine but Lin Shangzhou who is helping her deal with the remaining work. The German Emperor spent part of his energy during the day arguing with the government, and the rest was all spent on getting along with the protest team.

After returning to the Sans Souci Palace in the afternoon, some screened reporters were allowed by Lin Shangzhou to enter the palace to record the time Alexandrine spent with civilian women. Alexandrine also tried her best to be close to the people and love the people in the afternoon. Finally, in the evening, Lin Shangzhou arranged for Sasha and others to stay in a hotel in Berlin, and contacted the train station to arrange a direct train to Strasbourg for all of them tomorrow. The rest of those who followed Letitia halfway also got return tickets home.

As for the fact that Letitia was a maid in the Worry-Free Palace, Lin Shangzhou did not care. It didn't matter even if the outside world knew about it. Although this would make the right wing think that Alexandrine had instigated the protest, Alexandrine, who had the support of the military, would have nothing to worry about as long as she did not cut military spending.

When he was doing his work, he thought about this matter and couldn't help but have a strange feeling in his heart. Alexandrine didn't have much contact with military generals, but the army was her backing. After thinking about it, he came up with a suitable reason - this is probably one of the advantages of the monarchy.

Click.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Lin Shangzhou said without raising his head: "Laur, just put the tea and dessert on the table, and you can go to bed later."

But after a few seconds, Lin Shangzhou heard nothing. He didn't hear footsteps, the sound of a cart, or the sound of plates being put down. This made him feel a little confused. He looked up and was stunned when he saw Letitia standing at the door.

The surprise he felt at the arrival of the newcomer was fleeting, and he could guess how Letitia got here - Lol tricked her into coming here.

Thinking of what the little girl had done, Lin Shangzhou felt a little helpless. Logically, she should have helped Noah more, but the reality was that she helped Letitia more.

He put down the work at hand, stood up, looked at Letitia with concern and said, "Letitia, when did you wake up? How do you feel now?"

Letitia never expected that after opening the door, she would see Lin Shangzhou instead of Alexandria sitting behind Alexandria's desk. A few minutes ago, she was still hesitating whether to meet Lin Shangzhou. She was not fully prepared to meet Lin Shangzhou, but now the little girl Lol helped her make the decision.

Lin Shangzhou's concern was beyond her expectations. After staring at him blankly for a few seconds, Letitia replied, "I... I just woke up not long ago... Don't worry about my health. I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine after resting for a while."

"As long as it's okay..."

Lin Shangzhou walked out of his desk and came to Letitia. He stood in front of Letitia, then lowered his head in front of her surprised eyes and said to her sincerely: "I'm sorry, Letitia, I shouldn't have said that at that time."

"Eh……"

Letitia was stunned. She had never thought that Lin Shangzhou would apologize to her, but such an apology made her feel even more uneasy. Was such an apology proof that Lin Shangzhou hated her?

It is precisely because I hate her that I apologize to her. After resolving the past conflicts, I will continue to be ordinary friends with her and there will be no chance of further development.

However, knowing Lin Shangzhou, she also knew that this might just be Lin Shangzhou's personal habit. He has always been like this. He would apologize when he made a mistake and thank others when they helped him. He would never be ashamed to apologize for some reason. It was indeed Lin Shangzhou who was wrong at the time. He was the one who said the wrong thing first and made her angry. It was reasonable for him to apologize now.

Letitia was extremely worried. She didn't know what Lin Shangzhou was thinking. In order to stop worrying, she gritted her teeth and said to Lin Shangzhou with determination in her heart: "Fritts, don't you... hate me?"

"Hate you?"

Lin Shangzhou was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that Leticia thought this way. Then he found it a little funny. He had been worrying whether Leticia would hate him, while Leticia was worried whether he hated her.

The situation now shows that both people are worried about something that is impossible.

Lin Shangzhou lowered his head and said gently, "How could that be, Letitia? I won't hate you just because of what you said at that time. Everyone gets angry sometimes, and how can you take the angry words seriously? So don't worry, I won't and can't hate you."

After hearing these words, Letitia's uneasiness disappeared, replaced by the excitement and love she had during the day that doubled.
