Conquering the world from the Kaiser's driver

Alexandrine nodded slightly to show that she understood. Charlie Chen and Mark also knew at this time that the younger-looking blonde girl was the German emperor.

Chen Charlie wanted to say hello to the German Emperor, but Alexandrine stood up and said to the two of them, "No need to say hello. I'm going to my room to read for a while. I hope you can pay attention to this matter."

After saying that, she took Cecilia and two maids out of her office. She initially wanted to keep one maid, but thinking that the two of them might want to stay, she simply took them all away.

After Alexandrine left the office, Mark's nervousness disappeared a lot, and Charlie Chen also felt a little more relaxed.

He looked at the two Chinese people sitting on the sofa on the other side and found that the young man was looking at him with strange eyes, which made him very confused.

Lin Shangzhou felt very strange when he heard the name of Chen Charlie. Why is this person called Chen Charlie? If it was just a homonym, it would be fine, but the key point is that the Chen Charlie in front of him happened to be a policeman, and his appearance was very consistent with the Chen Charlie he had transformed, which made him feel very outrageous...

"Please take a seat, officers."

At Lin Yangyu's invitation, Charlie Chen and Mark sat on the sofa. After they sat down, Lin Shangzhou took the initiative to ask, "Officer Chen, may I ask which li in your name is?"

Chen Chali was a little confused by this question, but he didn't think much about it and immediately answered in Chinese: "It's the etiquette of etiquette."

This made Lin Shangzhou feel less weird. It seemed like this was just a coincidence.

Afterwards, Charlie Chen and Mark began to question Lin Shangzhou and Lin Yangyu in detail. Charlie Chen asked questions and Mark took notes beside him. Judging from the division of labor between the two, Lin Shangzhou felt that Mark should be a person similar to an assistant apprentice brought by Charlie Chen.

Chen Chali was very concerned about this matter. In his opinion, this incident could just deal a blow to the people of the German club in Berlin and make them no longer so unscrupulous.

After asking all the questions and taking all the notes, Charlie Chen and Mark left Wuyou Palace first with the threatening letter and the box. They were going back to report the matter. Charlie Chen believed that his superiors would pay more attention to this matter and were very willing to increase patrol police force near Lin Yangyu's home.

Normally, there are almost no police patrolling this place far away from the city, but today is different. Even if the Berlin police do not pay attention to the Chinese, they cannot ignore His Majesty.

After the police left, Lin Shangzhou also left the Palace of Worship. He went to work at the newspaper. When he arrived at the newspaper, he had to send a reporter to interview Alexandrine and his uncle, and also asked Goebbels to write an article based on this. He had a lot of things to do.

.

Chapter 156 Two Days of Development

After Charlie Chen and Mark returned to the police station with the clues and told his superiors the true identity of the victim, the Berlin police immediately took the case seriously and immediately organized an investigation team led by Charlie Chen to solve the case.

Seeing that his boss took this case seriously because of the other party's change of identity and asked him to lead a team to investigate the case, Chen Chali was very happy, because this gave him a reason to investigate past cases similar to this case together, so that he could help the Chinese in Chinatown do something.

On the afternoon of the 9th, Charlie Chen and his team began to investigate the case. Based on the style and condition of the watch in the box, they judged that it was a new watch. So they began to investigate all the shops selling watches in Berlin. They took the watch to each shop and asked if this watch had been sold before. It was a very time-consuming task.

While they were conducting their investigation, Lin Shangzhou also took a reporter and a photographer from a newspaper to the Sanssouci Palace to interview the German Emperor. The interview went smoothly. Alexandrine strongly condemned this group of racists and expressed her disgust for them. During the interview, the photographer took pictures of the interview scene.

The photo he took would become one of the few to appear in newspapers from Alexandrine's accession to the throne until today.

After returning to the newspaper office after the interview, Lin Shangzhou remembered that today was Friday and the Qianjin Daily had sold one issue. If he wanted to publish the interview in the newspaper, he would have to wait until next Tuesday, which was too long. In order to publish this matter and the interview as soon as possible, Lin Shangzhou discussed with the newspaper's senior management and decided to change from two issues a week to a daily newspaper based on the current situation of the newspaper.

Now that the newspaper has recruited enough staff, including some with considerable work experience, it is time to transform the journal into a daily newspaper.

On the evening of the 9th, Bode moved into Lin Shangzhou's home with his equipment. Lin Yangyu and Lin Shangzhou expressed their warm welcome to the young soldier who was sent to protect them.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, Lin Shangzhou, who was about to go to bed, found Bode lying on a recliner in the yard reading a book. He suggested that Bode go to bed, but he got this answer: "In order to protect you two to the greatest extent, I decided to stay up all night to keep watch for you during the time I stay at your house, and go to bed during the day."

This behavior of reversing the biological clock is very harmful to the body, but no matter how Lin Shangzhou persuaded him, Bode said that he would complete the task assigned to him by the deputy captain. In addition to expressing his sincere gratitude, Lin Shangzhou decided to wait for Havot to make a new batch of communicators and then give one to Bode.

On the morning of the 10th, Berlin citizens who went to buy newspapers and subscribe to the "Vorwarts" were surprised to find that they had bought/delivered a new issue of the "Vorwarts" today. The newspaper published the news that the "Vorwarts" was changed from a weekly to a daily, which made some citizens very happy.

In addition to these news, they found two very interesting and surprising news, the threatening letter sent to the German Emperor's driver and the interview with Alexandrine by a newspaper reporter.

The citizens were especially surprised after seeing the photo of Alexandrine. The emperor was just a little girl. Most of the Berlin citizens did not know what Alexandrine looked like before. Although there were photos of her published in newspapers when she succeeded to the throne five or six years ago, it was too long ago and it was strange that people could remember her.

After hearing about this, other news media rushed to confirm whether it was true. Darren also delivered the "Forward" newspaper to the Prime Minister. When Albert saw the news, he immediately thought of his nephew. He knew that his nephew Klein often went to the German Club, and only members of this club could do such a thing.

He hurriedly asked Darren to call Klein to ask what was going on. In addition, the content of Alexandrine's interview intensified the uneasiness he had felt since the Imperial Parliament No. 5. He felt that Alexandrine was about to "escape from his so-called control", and he wanted and needed to do something about it.

After Klein was called to Albert's side, he confessed everything very honestly after knowing what happened. From his explanation, it can be seen that he did not actively participate in this matter, but Klein told the people in the club the address of Lin Shangzhou's home.

Klein didn't feel anything about this matter, but it caused dissatisfaction to Her Majesty and the victim was her driver, so the nature of the matter was different. Albert immediately ordered him not to have any contact with the club for the time being, at least not to go to the club until this matter was over.

As for what the media should do, Albert let Darren handle the matter himself, and this thorny and troublesome matter was thrown on Darren's head.

Darren was really troubled by how to let the media comment on this matter. The Central Party's media was still promoting the Yellow Peril Theory. This incident happened here, and it was easy to deal with this matter alone, but the key was that His Majesty also expressed his own views on this, expressing his disgust for racists and hoping that the police could deal with it as soon as possible.

On the surface, Alexandrine's words only expressed her disgust for racists (in fact, she herself thought so), but in Darren's view, this was also a warning to the Prime Minister. The Yellow Peril Theory was also a form of racist discrimination. His Majesty's words were equivalent to warning them not to spread the Yellow Peril Theory anymore.

Now that the emperor has said so, if the media below continue to spread racist remarks, wouldn’t that be pure trouble-making?

Darren is not a fool, he knows this very well, that's why he is in a dilemma. If he continues to promote the Yellow Peril Theory, it will be against the emperor and he may die suddenly. But if he stops promoting the Yellow Peril Theory, wouldn't the Central Daily News become a clown?

You spent a lot of effort in a public opinion war with a small newspaper, and after so long, you didn't achieve any results, and you even had to give up the previous progress...

Finally, after much consideration, Darren chose to give up promoting the Yellow Peril Theory. He also reported the matter to the prime minister, who agreed with him to do so.

The emperor has already spoken out to express his disgust for racists, and continuing to promote the Yellow Peril theory could cause problems.

On the morning of the 11th, the Central Daily News and other media published this news and articles written by commentators, strongly condemning these racists. This made the citizens who had been paying attention to the previous public opinion wars laugh. The newspapers of the previous day were still promoting the Yellow Peril Theory, but after seeing the emperor's words a day later, they immediately backed down and changed their words to believe that racists were extremely bad.

Although it's funny, it's actually not that shameful. After all, you can't go against the emperor who is so blatant, right?

After reading the article in Central Daily News, the people of Qianjin Daily burst into laughter with joy. This was great news for Qianjin Daily.

After sharing the joy with his employees, Goebbels returned to his office, sat down on a chair, closed his eyes and began to rest. "Finally, I can relax a little bit from now on."

Xiao Huang said so.

Chapter 157 Strange call

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Shangzhou, who had just finished a day's work, was in a very happy mood. An article published in the Central Daily News today said that the other party would no longer blatantly promote the Yellow Peril Theory in the future, and this was something worth celebrating.

In addition to his work in the afternoon, he also completed a second review and proofreading of the revised content in the Berlin Manifesto. He also copied Marx and Engels' critical articles on the Gotha Program and the Erfurt Program and wrote a critical article on the Berlin Manifesto.

In the past, he revised the Berlin Declaration with reference to the content of the Erfurt Program. As Louis said at the time, the Berlin Declaration may not even be as good as the Erfurt Program, but now Lin Shangzhou believes that the Berlin Declaration is much better.

In addition to modifying the revisionist content, he also added some of his own ideas to it, such as adding some of the CPC's ideas to it, making some of the contents of the Berlin Declaration more left-wing. Let's call it the New Berlin Declaration.

However, even if Marx had seen the revised "New Berlin Manifesto", he would still have written an article severely criticizing the document.

The Berlin Declaration blurred the content regarding class struggle and social revolution, denied the necessity of class struggle, and advocated class reconciliation, social reform to replace revolution, and parliamentary struggle to replace armed struggle. It believed that the SPD could be brought to power in a peaceful way and further change the status quo in Germany.

The New Berlin Declaration made some changes to this. The changes made by Lin Shangzhou were: class struggle and violent revolution are necessary and essential, but they can only be done when there is absolutely no hope of any change from the government and it has the broad support of the people. If there is a possibility of class reconciliation, then we should choose to conduct moderate class reconciliation to ease contradictions rather than ignore this possibility and engage in class struggle.

His thoughts must be very strange to some people, and he does not seem like a person who grew up under the red flag at all. However, Lin Shangzhou chose to write this way after thinking about the national conditions of Germany.

If someone used this content to challenge him at a party meeting, Lin Shangzhou would not be afraid, as he had already thought of an explanation.

He put the documents he had checked into the drawer, then stood up and walked out of the office. The employees outside the office also left work one after another. Lin Shangzhou greeted the employees one by one. Goebbels also walked out of his office at this time, said goodbye to Lin Shangzhou, and left the newspaper first.

Lin Shangzhou stood there and watched Xiao Huang's departing back, feeling a little guilty. Goebbels had been very busy with his own affairs recently, and there was nothing he could do for Xiao Huang.

The only thing he could do was to write a blank check, and Lin Shangzhou had also written a blank check to Goebbels. When he became chancellor, he immediately promoted Xiao Huang to Minister of Propaganda, and he would also be included in the cabinet when it was formed.

Goebbels was very interested in this, and he also believed that Lin Shangzhou would be able to become prime minister after solving the current difficulties.

"Didi-di-di, di-di-di!"

Just as Lin Shangzhou was standing there thinking alone, he heard a loud ring from his communicator. Someone was calling him.

He immediately took out his communicator and pressed the answer button to answer the call. When he put the communicator to his ear, the newspaper employees passing by looked at the novel object in his hand curiously. They were all curious about what it was, but no one disturbed Lin Shangzhou who was on the phone. They just took a few glances and left quickly.

"Hello? Who is it?"

Lin Shangzhou asked into the communicator. Because the communicator had no display screen, he couldn't directly know who was calling when a call came in, so he had to ask who the other party was every time the call was connected. This was also considered a shortcoming of the communicator... uh... to be more precise, it should be said that it was a shortcoming of the voice communication equipment of this era.

But this minor problem is harmless. Mobile phones were invented decades in advance, so it's hard for Havot to pursue better ones.

Before asking who the other party was, Lin Shangzhou was also thinking about who the person who called him was. Uncle? Louis? Vorbeck? Havot? Or one of the Kaiser's sisters? (He later placed a communicator in his home for his uncle to use)

But what surprised Lin Shangzhou was that there was no response from the other end of the communicator. This was strange. Currently, the only people who had the communicator were people he knew, and only these few people had the communicator. It was impossible that he had dialed the wrong number.

(Could it be that this was a call from someone else's invented communicator?)

This thought popped up in Lin Shangzhou's mind. Although it was a bad idea, if it was the case, the current situation made sense.

"Hey?"

He asked again, and a second later he heard a voice from the other end of the communicator.

"Hello, Mr. Hipper."

A very attractive but completely unfamiliar voice came into Lin Shangzhou's ears from the communicator. Lin Shangzhou was sure that there was a stranger on the other end of the communicator. What made him even more uneasy was that the other party knew his name.

This ruled out the first possibility that Lin Shangzhou thought of. If the call was made by a communicator invented by a stranger, the other party would not be able to know his name, which also caused him to feel uneasy.

The other party had a communicator and knew his name. Lin Shangzhou immediately thought that something had happened at home, but Bode was still at his house? And Bode was not defenseless. He had a complete set of equipment with him, so it was impossible for him to get into trouble.

Unless the people in that club wanted to die, he thought that it would not happen. Although Ji Min was brainless, he would definitely cherish his life. What's more, there were patrolling police on the roads around his home. The people in that club should not be stupid enough to do things under the noses of the police.

"May I ask who is calling?"

Lin Shangzhou calmed down and asked calmly.

"Haha, you'll know soon."

The other party replied with a chuckle, which confused Lin Shangzhou. He looked around and saw that there were only a few newspaper employees who had not left the office area, and there was no sign of anyone else.

He walked to the corridor outside the door and looked around. There was no one else in the corridor except Jesus and others who were staying together and chatting.

When Lin Shangzhou was about to return to the office area from the corridor, the stranger's voice came from the communicator again.

"I want to meet you to discuss something. I'll be waiting for you outside the newspaper office. When you come out, remember to look for a person wearing a black windbreaker and a black hat. That's me."

After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.

Lin Shangzhou stood there thinking about what the stranger said. The black windbreaker and the black hat, to be honest, gave Lin Shangzhou the feeling that "he is a spy". In his impression, spies usually dress like this.

It couldn't be that German spies had come looking for me, right?

Lin Shangzhou was amused by his own thoughts, but judging from the current situation, the other party might really be a spy. In that case, should he still go to meet him?

After much hesitation, Lin Shangzhou decided to meet this stranger. After all, he had a communicator in his hand, and this alone made it worthwhile for Lin Shangzhou to meet him.

Chapter 158 People from the Military Intelligence Bureau

After saying goodbye to Jesus and others, Lin Shangzhou came to the stairs and walked downstairs. Jesus and others chatted for a while, smoked a cigarette, and then returned to the office area. They still had to print newspapers with the newspaper employees who worked overtime in the evening, so the people in the publishing department had to get off work later, and the salary was higher.

Lin Shangzhou walked out of the newspaper office and onto the street outside. It was already completely dark. He used the lights from street lamps and shops to look for the stranger on the street.

Black windbreaker, black hat...

Lin Shangzhou looked around for someone dressed like this, and soon he saw a man wearing a black windbreaker and a black hat, who had just lit a cigarette, standing in front of the street lamp across the street on his right.

He subconsciously thought that this was the person he was looking for, but in order to make sure he was not mistaken, Lin Shangzhou looked around again, and only after confirming that there was no one dressed similarly did he move towards that person.

As the distance got closer, Lin Shangzhou found that the other party was looking at him. He waved towards him with the hand holding the cigarette, as if he was greeting him.

Lin Shangzhou was puzzled and walked over quickly. When he was less than three meters away, he heard the stranger's voice. "Hello, Mr. Hipper."

(It seems he is indeed the person I am looking for.)

The stranger had a kind smile on his face, his tone and attitude were very polite, and there was no strange look in his eyes. This dispelled some of Lin Shangzhou's worries. It seemed that this man was not from that club, and his home was safe.

The stranger held the cigarette in his mouth, then took off the glove on his right hand and stretched out his right hand to Lin Shangzhou.

Lin Shangzhou politely extended his hand, shook his right hand and said, "Hello."

Because he didn't know how to address the other person, Lin Shangzhou simply called him "you". This handshake also completely dispelled Lin Shangzhou's worries. He didn't think that a racist would be willing to take off his gloves and shake hands with him.

It is normal to take off gloves before shaking hands with others, but for racists, they are unwilling to have physical contact with the race they discriminate against. Of course, if they are acting, they may do so. The stranger in front of him took off his gloves obviously just out of politeness. In Lin Shangzhou's opinion, there is no other meaning.

After shaking hands, Lin Shangzhou wanted to ask some questions. He had to know who the man in front of him was. Before he could speak, the stranger said to him, "Mr. Hipper, I know you have a lot of questions to ask me, but some things are not convenient to talk about here. Let's go to my car and talk about it."

"My car is over there."

Then the stranger pointed to a black car across the street.

After hearing his suggestion, Lin Shangzhou became more alert. What if the other party knocked him out after he got in the car and drove away?

But because Lin Shangzhou's spider sense did not provide any warning, and he was confident in his ability to foresee danger, he decided to follow the stranger into his car.

"Okay, let's go then."

Lin Shangzhou nodded, and then followed the stranger to his car.

The stranger was sitting in the driver's seat and Lin Shangzhou was sitting in the passenger seat. With a "bang", the stranger closed the car door, while Lin Shangzhou just left the door ajar and did not close it completely.

The stranger took off his hat and put it on his lap. He certainly noticed Lin Shangzhou's little thoughts and knew why he did it, but he just smiled and ignored this small detail.

Lin Shangzhou asked the stranger: "Sir, may I ask your name..."

The stranger laughed and interrupted Lin Shangzhou, saying, "Mr. Hipper, there is no need to ask any more questions. I will tell you the answers to all the questions you want to ask."
