Conquering the world from the Kaiser's driver

This is something to be happy about.

Of course there were also unhappy people, the representatives of which were Cecilia and Albert.

Chapter 152 Reactions from all parties

All the members in the conference hall were shocked that the German Emperor exercised his power to reject the chancellor's proposal. This had never happened before. In the past, the proposals that the emperor would reject were all proposals proposed by other members that were unfavorable to the chancellor, such as the impeachment proposal a year ago.

This time, Alexandrine rejected the motion proposed by the Prime Minister that was in his favor. Some members of parliament who opposed the Prime Minister's "dictatorship" could not help but wonder if the Prime Minister had gone too far, so His Majesty decided to teach him a lesson.

When they thought about it this way, they felt that the previous statement that "the prime minister controlled" His Majesty was very unreasonable and seemed to be a rumor. If the prime minister really controlled His Majesty, then His Majesty should not reject the restrictive policy.

Of course, they also guessed such a possibility: this was a play put on by the prime minister to make His Majesty reject his own policy once in order to refute the rumor.

But if that is the case, how do you explain the policies that His Majesty refused to pass later? Those policies and proposals are beneficial to the prime minister. The first restrictive policy can be seen by the parliamentarians. It does not affect the prime minister's interests, so it does not matter if it is rejected. At that time, the prime minister also had an indifferent expression.

When His Majesty later rejected those policies, they saw that the Prime Minister's expression changed, from indifference to dissatisfaction and helplessness, which showed that His Majesty's actions exceeded the Prime Minister's expectations.

After such thinking, some members of parliament concluded that the past rumor that "the prime minister controlled His Majesty" was an unfounded rumor. His Majesty did not interfere in state affairs and almost entirely left it to the prime minister because she was still young and did not want to deal with these troublesome matters herself.

What we did today was just a warning to the prime minister, warning him not to go too far again.

This idea first took shape in the minds of some people, and then they whispered it to the people around them, and soon this idea spread throughout the meeting.

Some lawmakers accepted this idea. After all, it was a very reasonable assumption that could well explain what happened today.

The remaining part of the parliamentarians did not accept this idea, believing that it was just a show by the prime minister and that he was still controlling the little queen in disguise. However, their hearts began to waver under the impact of this idea.

Because only this assumption can well explain what happened today. After all, even if the rejection of the restrictive policy was an act, how do we explain His Majesty's subsequent behavior?

You can't say that His Majesty is just doing it for fun, right? That's ridiculous.

If Alexandrine knew what these congressmen were thinking, she would surely find it very funny, because part of the reason why she did this was really out of a playful mentality.

Several members of the Center Party at the meeting were very satisfied after hearing this idea. They were staunch supporters of the Prime Minister, so they knew what the Prime Minister had done and this idea was very beneficial to the Prime Minister.

However, His Majesty's subsequent behavior made them feel uneasy. They couldn't guess what His Majesty was thinking, and even hoped that His Majesty did it just for fun.

Such a scenario was bad news for the Social Democratic Party member sitting alone in a corner. Louis frowned after hearing such a scenario from Otto. If such a scenario replaced the previous scenarios such as "the chancellor is a dictator in disguise" and "the chancellor controls His Majesty in disguise", then their most advantageous weapon against the chancellor would lose its sharp edge and power.

Louis looked at Alexandrine sitting in the middle of the conference room with mixed feelings. He couldn't tell whether what happened today was a good thing or a bad thing. If he said it was a good thing, there were ideas in the parliament that were favorable to the prime minister. If he said it was a bad thing, the restrictive policy was rejected.

But the good side is not so good, because the policy has been modified and has no impact on Lin Shangzhou. He has lived in Germany for more than 10 years, has long had German citizenship, and is even a Berliner.

More importantly, Louis saw Cecilia's gloomy face clearly. He believed that Cecilia had already blamed today's events on him and Lin Shangzhou. It didn't matter if he lost Cecilia's future support. The important thing was that he not only lost her support but also incurred her disgust, which would be troublesome.

The military will not listen to her directly, but there is a high possibility that they will be influenced by her and develop a bad attitude towards the SPD.

Louis was also prepared to be blamed and punished. After all, it was he who told Alexandrine those things, and it had nothing to do with Lin Shangzhou.

Standing next to her sister in the center of the venue, Cecilia was no longer so angry. She carefully recalled the scene when Lin Shangzhou visited Wuyou Palace in the past, and then she thought that Lin Shangzhou had no chance to be alone with her sister.

Since there was no chance to be alone, there was no reason for Lin Shangzhou to ask his sister to reject this restrictive policy. And if he only rejected the restrictive policy, then why did he reject the following policies as well?

(Could it be that Sister wanted to do this herself?)

Suddenly, such an idea popped up in her mind. After the restriction policy was reported by the media, Alexandrine was not completely unaware of it. The subsequent articles about the Yellow Peril Theory made the two of them even more angry.

This made sense to Cecilia. The restriction policy restricted immigrants, and Lin Shangzhou was a Chinese immigrant. Her sister had a good relationship with him, so it was reasonable for her to reject that policy.

But how do I explain my sister’s subsequent rejection of the policy?

Cecilia couldn't understand what her sister was thinking. She looked down at her sister's profile and decided to ask her why she did this on the way back.

More than forty minutes later, the time came to half past eleven. Although there were still some unimportant matters that had not been raised, the Prime Minister still announced the adjournment of the meeting. After the meeting, the members of parliament left one after another, and Alexandrine also left the conference hall accompanied by Cecilia.

The prime minister heard the good news from his own people, but it did not alleviate his worries. He went outside the Capitol and got into his car. The person who served as his driver today was his nephew.

As soon as Klein saw his uncle sitting up, he couldn't wait to ask, "Uncle, what about that policy? Did His Majesty approve or reject it?"

"She rejected that restrictive policy."

Albert answered casually.

Hearing this answer, Klein's prepared heart was still somewhat dissatisfied.

"go home."

Klein responded softly and started the car while saying, "Uncle, I think Her Majesty's rejection of the restrictive policy is probably related to her friendship with the Chinese man."

Albert nodded absentmindedly. He didn't care about the relationship between Alexandrine and the Chinese man. He was thinking about what preparations to make next.

He could not stop Her Majesty from taking back the power that belonged to her, and Albert also knew that once the Queen took back her power, the stepping stone on his path to power as Emperor would be ruthlessly swept away, just like her grandfather William II had treated Bismarck forty years ago.

Albert could only passively accept this. A few years ago, the powerful Ludendorff could only silently accept the resignation order from William II. Is he better than Ludendorff? The answer is of course no.

Klein saw the worry on his uncle's face through the rearview mirror and said, "Uncle, you don't look very well. Did anything else happen in the parliament?"

"Well, Her Majesty seems to want to take back power and participate in politics. After rejecting the restrictive policy, she rejected several other policies in succession. I am thinking about what preparations to make."

Albert replied. This answer surprised Klein and made him worried. He knew that he couldn't come up with any good suggestions, so he stepped on the accelerator and sped up his way home.

Klein was in a bad mood on the way home. After having lunch at home, he left home in a depressed mood and went to the "Germanic Club" where he often went.

In the club, he told some things to the club's minister. The fact that His Majesty refused to restrict the policy made the club members very indignant. They all believed that it was the yellow monkey who bewitched His Majesty and they wanted to do something about it.

Klein was no longer surprised by their behavior, so he joined in the fun and didn't take their words seriously.

After the parliamentary session ended on the 5th, reporters could not wait to interview the various members of parliament, hoping to get first-hand information. The next day, on January 1th, major newspapers published those events, and "Forward" was no exception.

This time, some media changed their previous attitude and criticized the chancellor's policies. The immigrants felt relieved after seeing the news in the newspapers, and they also had a better impression of the German emperor, whom they had never met.

Chapter 153 Gifts and Threatening Letters

On January 1th, four days had passed since the first Imperial Parliament meeting in 9 years. After the meeting, Louis told Lin Shangzhou about his concerns. The two had been waiting for Cecilia to come since noon on the 31th.

However, nothing happened on the 6th and 7th. Lin Shangzhou even went to Wuyou Palace on the 8th to test the attitude. The final result was: Alexandrine believed that the restrictive policy was harmful to him, so she rejected the policy.

Cecilia had no objection to this, after all, it was her sister's idea.

As for why Alexandrine rejected several subsequent policies, the reason was somewhat surprising - she thought it was fun so she just tried to continue rejecting them.

Lin Shangzhou and Cecilia didn't know what to say about this. After chatting with the German Emperor for a few words, he left the Wuyou Palace.

After going to Wuyou Palace, Lin Shangzhou felt relieved. He quickly told Louis about this matter using the communicator. After hearing the news, Louis felt much more at ease.

The next thing Lin Shangzhou had to prepare for was the next party meeting. Because Erich, the Dogecoin, deliberately returned to his hometown, the party meeting originally scheduled for the 6th was postponed to the 12th, a week later.

This is a good thing. Erich's action gave Lin Shangzhou more time to prepare.

On the morning of the 9th, Lin Shangzhou woke up early as usual, got dressed, washed up, and went downstairs to prepare for dinner.

After going downstairs, he saw his uncle still busy in the kitchen, so he sat on the sofa and picked up the newspaper that published the Ai Crafts novel and started reading.

Lin Yangyu, who was in the kitchen, heard the noise in the living room and said loudly to Lin Shangzhou: "Shangzhou, go and see if today's newspaper has been delivered. It should be in the basket at the door of our house."

"it is good."

Lin Shangzhou responded, put the newspaper back on the table, stood up and walked towards the door.

When he arrived at the door, he opened it and prepared to go out. After opening the door, he saw a medium-sized cardboard box in front of the door. Lin Shangzhou lowered his head and looked at the brown cardboard box in confusion. He had no recollection of ordering anything.

And if you want to send something, you should send it to the wooden door of his yard instead of the door of his house. Lin Shangzhou turned his head and asked the kitchen: "Uncle, have you bought anything? There is a box at the door of our house, and I don't know what's in it."

Hearing his nephew's words, Lin Yangyu was a little confused, but his attention was on cooking, so he answered casually: "No, I didn't buy anything. Maybe someone sent it to the wrong place."

“I don’t think it was sent to the wrong address…”

Lin Shangzhou scratched his head and ignored the box. He walked around the box and went to the yard and walked towards the wooden door. The weather in Europe in January was not very friendly. Lin Shangzhou felt a chill as he walked in the yard. He tightened his clothes and took a breath of fresh cold air to make himself more awake.

He found that the air was a little humid and the soil in the yard was a little muddy, so Lin Shangzhou deduced that there had been a light rain last night.

Coming to the wooden door and fence, Lin Shangzhou took out a newspaper subscribed by his uncle from the basket hanging on the door. This newspaper did not contain political and social current affairs, but only some story articles.

There is a small rainproof board on the basket, so even if it rains, the things in the basket will not be affected.

Lin Shangzhou unfolded the newspaper and glanced at it casually, then closed the newspaper and returned the same way. When he reached the door, he bent down and put the newspaper on the box, then prepared to pick up the box.

When his hand touched the box, Lin Shangzhou's heart trembled suddenly, followed by a strong feeling of palpitations, which made him stop his actions.

Lin Shangzhou stared at the box on the ground with a frown on his face. The last time he felt such a strong sense of excitement was when he met Klein in Wuyou Palace a month ago.

Now this box caused him to have a strong palpitation, which meant that something bad was about to happen.

Lin Shangzhou began to observe the box carefully. He picked up the newspaper and found some water stains on the surface of the box. He touched the surface of the box with his hand and judging from the degree of wetness, the box was placed at his doorstep last night.

(It wasn’t delivered this morning but was delivered last night?!)

Thinking of this, Lin Shangzhou felt a chill down his spine. He was delivered to his doorstep last night, and at the very doorstep of the house. This was strange and terrifying no matter how he thought about it.

"Shang Zhou, what are you looking at there?"

Lin Yangyu walked past the door with dishes in his hand, and asked when he saw his nephew bending over the box.

"Uncle, there is something wrong with this box."

Lin Shangzhou looked up and answered Lin Yangyu.

"What could go wrong with a box? Maybe someone sent it to the wrong place."

After putting the dishes on the table, Lin Yangyu came to the door, looked at his nephew and the box on the ground and said, "Why did you put the box on the ground? Hurry up and bring it in."

As he spoke, he bent down, picked up the box, turned around and walked into the house. Lin Shangzhou wanted to stop him, but his uncle had already walked back into the house.

"Don't stand outside. It's so cold outside. Come inside and eat."

Lin Shangzhou responded uneasily and looked down at the place where the boxes were originally placed. There was a square dry area on the ground that was very obviously different from the surrounding wet ground.

This confirmed Lin Shangzhou's guess that the box was delivered to his door last night. After his guess was confirmed, Lin Shangzhou felt even colder in his heart. He walked quickly into the room and closed the door tightly.

Lin Yangyu had already placed the box on a corner of the table and called Lin Shangzhou over to eat. Lin Shangzhou had no appetite and went straight to the box. He wanted to open the box and see what was inside, so that he could resolve some of his doubts.

Lin Yangyu didn't know what he was thinking. When he saw his nephew was about to open the box, he said, "Shang Zhou, check if there is an address or something inside. Maybe they sent it to the wrong place."

Lin Shangzhou opened the box nervously. After seeing what was inside, he felt a strong anger in his heart. While the anger was burning, he also thought of something very bad, and felt a chill on his back.

"Shang Zhou, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Yangyu was confused and puzzled when he saw the change in his nephew's expression. He stood up and walked to Lin Shangzhou to look at the things in the box. The next second, he showed the same expression as his nephew.

Under the angry gazes of the two men, a small clock was placed in the middle of the box, and next to it was a piece of letter paper with something written on it.

After seeing the clock, Lin Yangyu said angrily: "Fuck, why would someone give someone this thing as a gift!"

In addition to anger, Lin Shangzhou also felt uneasy, because in his opinion this thing was given to his family, and the person who gave the gift had ulterior motives.

He reached out and picked up the note and looked at its contents carefully. After seeing what was written on it, Lin Shangzhou felt an unprecedented sense of uneasiness in his heart.

"What's written on it?"

Lin Yangyu curiously snatched the note from his gloomy-faced nephew. He was also stunned after seeing the content on it, but the anger in his heart was greater than the uneasiness.

The letter clearly read: Dear Mr. Vollandon Hippel and Mr. Fritz Hippel, Hello! When you see the content above, I believe you have received our small gift. I wonder if you are satisfied with the gift we sent you?

The purpose of sending you gifts is just to remind you two gentlemen that we sincerely hope and suggest that you leave His Majesty the Emperor. It would be even better if you could move away from Berlin. Of course, we will not force you to leave Germany. In order to show the tolerance of our Germanic nation, we allow the lowly yellow people to live in this land. What do you think about this?

If you had listened to our advice and left Berlin, we would not have given you such "little gifts".

But if after a while we find that the two of you have done nothing and are still an eyesore around His Majesty the Emperor, then we will give you a better surprise gift.

So for your own sake, please do as we say as soon as possible.

Chapter 154 Countermeasures

This letter was a naked threat. After reading its contents, Lin Yangyu and Lin Shangzhou lost all appetite for food.

Lin Yangyu angrily threw the letter onto the table, picked up the box and walked towards the door cursing.

"Tsk, damn it, I'll throw this unlucky thing away!"

Seeing this, Lin Shangzhou hurriedly called his uncle and said, "Uncle, don't throw it away yet!"

After being stopped by his nephew, Lin Yangyu turned around and looked at his nephew in confusion and asked: "Shang Zhou? Wouldn't it be unlucky if I don't throw this thing away and keep it?"
