Conquering the world from the Kaiser's driver

Goebbels' answer was naturally to refuse. The reason was very simple. He was the deputy editor-in-chief of the Vorwarts newspaper. If the Central Daily News, a major newspaper, was willing to give him the position of deputy editor-in-chief, he would consider switching jobs.

Faced with such conditions, Darren felt that this man was a little arrogant. He politely refused and took his people away. He thought that he was just a figure in a tabloid and could not cause any big waves.

After they left, the incident became a joke in the newspaper office. Lin Shangzhou himself was a little worried that Goebbels might switch jobs to his new company. But when Goebbels smiled and told him his conditions, Lin Shangzhou felt relieved.

In the following days, Darren focused on promoting the Yellow Peril Theory. Before the 20th, the media of his Central Party had already published the Yellow Peril Theory in newspapers. William II's experience became a natural public opinion booster. Although the old emperor had died unexpectedly with his family five years ago, the media dug this matter up again and it still became a very popular big news in Berlin.

Some smart people certainly smelled something was wrong, but most people didn't.

With the help of most media, the Yellow Peril theory replaced the previous demonstrations and became a hot topic in Berlin's headlines. Newspaper articles said that it was a Chinese driver who cursed Emperor Wilhelm, causing the tragic accident in 1925.

This hot topic was suppressed by the heat of Christmas before Christmas. In order to prepare for Christmas, the media did not continue to promote this bad mood statement during Christmas.

After Christmas on the 25th, the media continued to promote the Yellow Peril Theory while the Christmas fever had passed. They published an article about the classic villain, Fu Manchu, in the newspapers. Some cinemas also took the opportunity to show movies about Fu Manchu. For a time, the Yellow Peril Theory became a hot topic.

After learning about this, Lin Shangzhou went to Goebbels to discuss countermeasures. Xiao Huang had anticipated this situation and was ready to write an article to refute this extremely racist view.

On the day after Christmas, the "Forward" published an article criticizing this trend of thought and strongly condemning the act of consuming William II.

As a result, public opinion was divided into two waves, one supporting the Yellow Peril Theory and the other opposing it.

However, due to the long-term trade between China and Germany, the people of Berlin are not very interested in the Yellow Peril Theory, and most people are paying attention to this matter with the intention of watching the fun.

Among those who supported the Yellow Peril Theory, members of an organization called the "Germanic Club" were the most active. They had even begun harassing the Chinese in Berlin's Chinatown. Lin Shangzhou had no way to deal with this group of racists. After all, it was impossible to reason with them.

The two sides remained in a stalemate. On the 30th, before the new year arrived, the German Emperor in the Wuyou Palace learned about this matter. Because the Yellow Peril Theory attacked Lin Shangzhou and exploited her grandfather at the same time, Alexandrine and Cecilia were very dissatisfied with this. Cecilia approached the prime minister and asked him to do something about it.

At the request of the Souci Palace, the Prime Minister asked Darren to change his approach, and Darren also guaranteed this. He would no longer exploit William II, but instead promote the Yellow Peril Theory from other aspects.

As it stands, this battle of public opinion will continue for some time.

Chapter 148 The First Day of the Year

In the early morning of January 1931, a ray of sunlight came through the gap in the curtains into Lin Shangzhou's room, illuminating his room and covering the floor with a layer of gold, symbolizing the beginning of a new day.

After the sunlight came in for a few minutes, Lin Shangzhou slowly opened his sleepy eyes. He sat up from the bed and rubbed his eyes. After stretching, he began to get dressed.

After putting on his shirt, Lin Shangzhou noticed the red socks hanging on the head of the bed. He turned his head to look at the socks, and when he thought about his uncle insisting on hanging these socks for him, Lin Shangzhou couldn't help but laugh.

Lin Yangyu follows the Christmas tradition of hanging socks on his nephew's bedside every day and putting gifts in them. Last year was no exception. On the 30th of last month, which was the tenth day of the eleventh lunar month, Lin Shangzhou celebrated a small birthday at home. It was also on that day that Lin Shangzhou learned that his birthday was the tenth day of the eleventh lunar month.

That night, Lin Shangzhou looked at his uncle who had already prepared a large table of dishes and was still cooking, feeling both amused and helpless. After asking, he found out that Lin Yangyu thought he would inform others that it was his birthday today, so he didn't inform his friends. How could Lin Shangzhou know when his birthday was, so he did nothing.

Fortunately, Lin Yangyu naturally thought that his nephew was too busy and forgot his birthday. Fortunately, it was only six o'clock and there was still time to call others over.

Lin Shangzhou went out to call people. He found Louis. A representative from each floor of the apartment came out, namely Goebbels, Lin Wenhua and Kevin. The others sent him birthday wishes.

He also went to Wuyou Palace, simply to tell them that it was his birthday today, and he had no intention of bringing a girl to his home for dinner.

Alexandrine and Cecilia sent him birthday wishes, while Letitia and Noa only sent their blessings. After all, time was too tight and they had no time to prepare gifts.

In the evening, Lin Yangyu saw his nephew bringing a group of boys back to celebrate his birthday. He seemed enthusiastic on the surface, but he was actually very unhappy. He wished his nephew could bring the two girls over.

But since the people had come, he also welcomed them warmly.

Lin Shangzhou had a very happy night that night. Before he traveled through time, he had not celebrated his birthday many times due to family reasons.

Thinking of what happened that night, Lin Shangzhou couldn't help but laugh. Although he had a lot of difficult things to do recently, he had an uncle who loved him at home, and being at home was a rare moment of relaxation for him.

"These socks have been hanging for almost a week. It's time to take them down."

Lin Shangzhou took off his socks and threw them on the bed while talking to himself. He stood by the bed, tidied the quilt, walked out of his room to the bathroom to wash up, and then went downstairs to prepare for dinner.

Lin Yangyu gets up earlier than him, so every time he gets up and gets himself ready, he can have breakfast.

Going downstairs to the living room, Lin Shangzhou saw two bowls of porridge on the table, and Lin Yangyu was walking out of the kitchen with two plates of side dishes.

"Wake up, come and eat."

He called his nephew to eat, and Lin Shangzhou nodded and walked over.

During the meal, Lin Yangyu turned his head and seemed to see something through the window, so he stood up and walked over to the window to take a closer look. Lin Shangzhou was very curious about his uncle's behavior and asked, "Uncle, what are you looking at? There's nothing interesting outside our house, right?"

"Shang Zhou, it seems to be snowing outside."

Lin Yangyu turned around and said to him. He went back to the table, picked up the rice bowl and ate a few chopsticks of vegetables. He turned around and said to Lin Shangzhou as he walked away, "Shangzhou, I'm going to go outside to see the snow. If you don't want to come out, just stay inside."

(Go outside and watch the snow?)

Lin Shangzhou smiled and put some food into his own bowl, then stood up and said to Lin Yangyu who had already opened the door: "Uncle, I'll join you."

"Ah? Sure."

Lin Yangyu was stunned at first, obviously confused. Lin Shangzhou also noticed his confusion, which showed that his predecessor did not like to do this.

But it doesn't matter, he will accompany his uncle to watch the snow while eating breakfast.

Lin Shangzhou followed Lin Yangyu's steps to the yard. As soon as he went out, he felt January's malice, and the steam from the porridge became unusually obvious.

The uncle and nephew sat on the bench in the yard, chatting with each other, watching the snowflakes falling from the sky.

"Shang Zhou, do you remember last year when I said I would take you back to my hometown?"

While eating breakfast, Lin Shangzhou heard his uncle ask this question. Lin Shangzhou stopped eating and recalled what his uncle said. Soon he remembered that it was what his uncle said when he just traveled through time.

By this calculation, I have been here for a year...

Thinking of this, Lin Shangzhou couldn't help but feel a little emotional. It has been almost a year since he traveled here, and he has grown a year older, from 20 to 21.

"of course I remember."

Lin Yangyu smiled, turned his head and looked at Lin Shangzhou and said, "I don't know when I can take you back. By then, it won't be me who takes you back, but you who will take me, your uncle, back to my hometown, hahaha."

At the end, Lin Yangyu laughed expectantly, and Lin Shangzhou also laughed.

"Don't worry, when I become prime minister, I will send a fleet to escort us back to China."

Lin Yangyu's eyes were filled with relief. He said to Lin Shangzhou happily, "Haha, good boy, uncle is waiting for you."

Lin Shangzhou nodded confidently. What he said was not a joke. In this world, airplanes were not developed. If you wanted to cross a country, you had to go by land or sea. If he became the prime minister, would he go to China without a fleet escort?

Lin Shangzhou looked at the snow scene in front of him, looking forward to the arrival of this day.

Because of the New Year holiday, Lin Shangzhou rested at home for the next day. In addition to chatting with his uncle, he also typed for a while. Lin Shangzhou rarely thought about work at home. Although the Yellow Peril Theory was a difficult problem, Goebbels was there, so he could relax a little.

But this makes Xiao Huang suffer.

Chapter 149 M2 Communicator

On January 1nd, Lin Shangzhou went to the newspaper office and after a busy day of overtime work with the employees, they had another day off. The newspapers that were supposed to be sold on Friday, the 2nd were postponed to Saturday, the 2rd. The 3rd and 3th happened to be Saturday and Sunday, and the 4st was the New Year holiday. The day in between was Saturday and Sunday. Lin Shangzhou couldn't help but sigh that the world without adjusted holidays was good.

This Saturday and Sunday, in addition to resting, Lin Shangzhou plans to go to the apartment to visit Harvot. Harvot and his student team made a breakthrough in late December, but it was almost New Year, so Lin Shangzhou did not go to see it. Today he wants to see how some communicators that have made another breakthrough are.

Lin Shangzhou drove out from home at nine o'clock in the morning. He drove very slowly because of the snow on the road. The snow started falling on the 3st and continued on and off for three days. It was not until the morning of the rd that the sky cleared up completely. The clear sky indicated good weather in the next few days.

The slowed-down car took longer than before to reach the apartment. Lin Shangzhou parked the car, got out, walked to the door of the apartment, took out the key, opened the door and went in.

After entering, he greeted Goebbels and others inside through the wide open door of the room on the first floor, then walked up the stairs to the third floor.

When he arrived at the third floor, he knocked on the door. After a few seconds, the door opened. What surprised Lin Shangzhou was that the person who opened the door was Havot. This guy didn't go to the laboratory on the fourth floor today.

Harvot noticed the change in Lin Shangzhou's expression, so he said to him, "Mr. Fritz, it seems that you are very surprised that I came to open the door."

Lin Shangzhou nodded and replied, "It's really unexpected. On weekdays, you should be in the laboratory on the fourth floor at this time. Even on the past Saturdays and Sundays when I came to see you, you were still in the laboratory."

Harvot chuckled and said, "With the help of that group of students, the communicator has been improved and perfected to the best of its current conditions. Without better titanium, we can't continue to make breakthroughs, so I'll take this opportunity to have a good rest."

Lin Shangzhou looked into Harvot's eyes. The heavy dark circles around his eyes made Lin Shangzhou feel distressed. He said with concern: "You have worked hard last month. Take a good rest. Your health is more important than research."

"Ah."

Harvotte nodded. He naturally understood this principle. He stepped aside and asked Lin Shangzhou, "Would you like to come in and sit down first? Or should we go directly to the fourth floor to check the communicator?"

"Sit down for a while."

Lin Shangzhou walked into the room while speaking.

Kevin was sitting on the sofa in the living room reading today's newspaper. When he heard Lin Shangzhou come in, he turned around and greeted him. When Lin Shangzhou responded, he found that his expression was a little angry, so he curiously leaned over to look at the contents of the newspaper.

"Is this today's Central Daily News?"

"Ah."

Kevin nodded, then stood up angrily and pointed at an article in the newspaper and said, "Fritts, look! How can they be so shameless!"

His excited behavior made Lin Shangzhou puzzled. What kind of article in the newspaper could make him so angry? Taking the newspaper, Lin Shangzhou read the contents.

"Tsk..."

After just a few seconds of reading, Lin Shangzhou felt a little angry. The article in the newspaper compared all Chinese people to evil characters like Fu Manchu, and the whole article expressed a strong sense of discrimination.

After returning the newspaper to Kevin, Lin Shangzhou said that he would discuss with Goebbels what to do later. Kevin threw the newspaper on the table and picked up a novel on the table and started reading.

Lin Shangzhou raised his eyebrows when he saw the cover of the novel. Kevin was reading his own novel, and he remembered that he had not told Kevin that he was the author of the novel. So he sat down and asked him a few questions cheerfully before following Harvot up to the fourth floor.

As the two walked up the stairs to the fourth floor, Harvot thought of something that happened last month and said to Lin Shangzhou, "Fritts, at the end of last month, Conrad brought me a student named Wernher von Braun..."

"what?!"

After hearing the name, Lin Shangzhou immediately stopped and turned to look at Harvotte in surprise and said, "Are you sure that man's name is Wernher von Braun?"

Harvot, who was suddenly interrupted by Lin Shangzhou, was very confused by his surprise. Could it be that he knew the young man named Braun?

"Yes, the student's name is Wernher von Braun. Fritz, do you have any questions?"

Lin Shangzhou realized his mistake by looking at Harvot's suspicious expression. He laughed dryly and said, "It's okay. I just asked a simple question."

He started walking up the stairs again, saying as he walked, "What does he want from you?"

(That's not right. Is von Braun still a student? Huh?)

Lin Shangzhou felt very strange. In his impression, the "Father of Rockets" should have been in his 31s or s when he developed the rocket, and should have been around years old when he was young. How come he was still a student for these years?

Thinking of this, he asked a new question before Harvot answered the previous question.

"Havot, how old is von Braun?"

"?"

Harworth found Lin Shangzhou's question very strange and confusing. Why did he suddenly ask someone how old he was?

But he also asked casually at the time, knowing the answer to the question, and replied: "18 years old."

(Hiss… 18 years old. By this calculation, he was only about years old when he developed the rocket…)

Lin Shangzhou took a deep breath, and then he asked, "How old are you?"

"Me? 23."

Harvot answered casually.

(23… Sure enough, the world of scientists is not something I can touch…)

Lin Shangzhou thought to himself.

"Havout, go on and tell him what he wants from you."

Although Harvot was puzzled by Lin Shangzhou's question, he did not dwell on it and replied, "He asked me about the ether element and discussed with me the possibility of using the ether element as fuel."

(Potential as a fuel?)

Then Lin Shangzhou thought of Braun’s identity as the “Father of Rockets”. He probably wanted to use ether as rocket propellant.

"It turns out that people's yearning for the sky will not diminish for any reason..."

Lin Shangzhou whispered to himself, this also revealed something to him. Although the development of aircraft was restricted and the speed of development was very slow, those aircraft designers may have designed aircraft that were more advanced than the current tri-wing aircraft, and they were just waiting for someone to discover them.

Lin Shangzhou plans to contact these people in the future and win them over to his camp.

Arriving at the fourth floor, Lin Shangzhou followed Harvot into the laboratory converted from a guest room. The current laboratory looked more professional than before, with more instruments inside and even rolled-up bedding on the floor. This made Lin Shangzhou marvel at the professionalism of Harvot and his student team.

Harvot brought Lin Shangzhou to the table. He opened the black box on the table. As the lid was taken off, the communicator inside appeared in Lin Shangzhou's field of vision.

"This is the Communicator Model M2"

What surprised him was that there were not just two communicators inside, but two rows, five in each row, for a total of ten communicators.
