For a few days, the sharpshooter from Russia had lived such a monotonous and boring life that since the middle-aged man brought back a high-powered telescope, he could only observe the Reichstag in the distance from the window of this room every day.

Boom...... Knock knock knock...... Boom...... Knock knock knock......

The door was knocked rhythmically again, and the face was still vigilantly pressed his hand on the handle of the gun, and then replied in a low voice: "My heart is still the same!" ”

The door was opened, and the middle-aged man walked in with a tired face.

"Started?" Shaved Face withdrew his right hand from his waist, and the middle-aged man handed him a bag of food as usual.

The board head is still responsible for the finishing.

"Hmmm! Here we go! The accurate information was found, but the middle-aged man did not look the slightest bit excited, probably because their point of contact, a place called the Tequila Bar, had been sealed off by the American police a few days ago, and they had lost contact with it since then. As for why the tequila bar was suddenly closed, the middle-aged man didn't know the details, but he thought it should be related to the news they saw in the newspaper that day.

"Oh!" He didn't ask much, took the bag of food and began to enjoy it, it was his dinner yesterday, breakfast today, and lunch today.

At this time, Ban Cuntou walked to the side of the bed, "Then when am I going to drive that car?" ”

"No hurry! Now when the Americans are at their most vigilant, we will have to wait a few days, at least until they relax a little! The middle-aged man is still the kind of way of thinking of doing things safely, and the car they are talking about is a second-hand Ford brand car bought from the market two days ago, although it is second-hand, but the board has been carefully checked, the performance of the car is not much different from the new car, and the two of them also deliberately drove the car around the city.

"But how can we get the explosives in without the response from above?" Cutting his face and stuffing food in his mouth, he expressed his doubts.

The middle-aged man looked embarrassed, and this was also the expression that appeared on his face the most since he learned that something had happened at the tequila bar.

"Alas...... I can only figure it out on my own! ”

"Even without us. Others will be able to complete this operation as well! His determination seemed to be far less determined than that of a middle-aged man, and in recent days, he had begun to say something discouraged from time to time.

In contrast, the face shaving only asks one or two questions when they come back from outside, and always silently obeys the arrangements of the middle-aged people.

Not surprisingly, the middle-aged man put on that righteous and awe-inspiring tone: "Have you forgotten? His Majesty once told us that this is an opportunity not to be missed, for the sake of our country. For the sake of our nation, and for our own sake, we must not back down! ”

The board was silent, and the middle-aged man thought about it and made a decision helplessly:

"In this case, I will go around the hotel where the delegation is staying at night to see if it is possible to get in touch with the head of the intelligence department directly, if we really can't get in touch, we will have to act according to the original plan!"

With that, he leaned over to the high-powered telescope that astronomers used to observe the moon and stars. From here, you can clearly see the iconic dome of the Capitol. and the fountain and meadow in the square in front of the building. At this moment, his goals were all in one hall.

It doesn't even take much explosives for the world to reorganize.

The first day of the conference. Attention was focused on the proposal for the limitation of naval armaments, which had been formally presented by the German delegation. As has been previously known, the Germans are proposing to limit navies to a lower level, thereby reducing the naval arms race and easing the once-tense situation in the Pacific.

In this proposal, the total tonnage of capital ships of each country is divided into three categories, the strongest Germany and Austria-Hungary are 455,000 tons, the United States and Japan are the second, each is 320,000 tons, and Russia and Turkey are the last, of which Russia has 240,000 tons and Turkey has 230,000 tons.

As soon as the proposal is out. Responses from delegates varied. The Americans are the ones who are most in favor of this, in fact they have already received exact data from the German Foreign Office, and the figures are very close to what they expected. After the German delegation, the Americans put forward their own proposals, Germany and Austria remained the first class, with a gross tonnage of 400,000 tons and 380,000 tons, respectively, the United States 350,000 tons, between the first and second class, and Japan with 300,000 tons. In the second class, Russia 250,000 tons, Turkey 200,000 tons, still ranked last.

The Russians should rejoice in their intelligence services, since their report is largely consistent with this proposal, and 240,000 tons is a perfectly acceptable level for the Russian Navy.

The Turks will not have any objection to this, not only because of their relationship with Germany, in fact, the total tonnage of their capital ships is currently less than 200,000 tons, but this is also after getting three German armored battleships, 230,000 tons, if approved, this means that they can also build 1-2 new battleships.

According to the data in the proposal, if Austria-Hungary and Japan build new ships, they must scrap the existing warships of the corresponding tonnage.

However, after the German delegation announced this proposal, the Austro-Constitutional delegation, from Crown Prince Karl to the admirals, maintained an unexpectedly calm of 455,000 tons, which means that at least 2 of the warships they took over from the Italian Navy and have begun to be refitted cannot be used, in addition to the fact that with the commissioning of the fourth combined-forces class battleship, they also need to scrap 2-3 old battleships, of course, There are also many who believe that eighty percent of the old battleships of the Austro-Hungarian Navy are no longer capable of fighting outside the near sea, and that they are best served on the cold seabed or in scrap yards. Therefore, Austria-Hungary could well have accepted this treaty in exchange for some benefits from Germany and the United States.

Judging from the current situation, only the Japanese delegation of the six countries participating in the meeting reacted strongly, believing that this proposal was discriminatory against the Imperial Japanese Navy and actually stifled the development potential of Asian naval forces. In their view, Japan, as the "representative of the Asian navy," deserves to be treated on a par with Germany and Austria-Hungary, and if not to reach the level of Germany and Austria, it should not be less than 400,000 tons.

After the Americans put forward their proposals, Minoru Saito, deputy head of the Japanese delegation and minister of the Navy, swaggered onto the podium, saying, "His Majesty the Emperor and the cabinet of the Imperial Japanese Government attach great importance to this naval meeting, so they have entrusted the Admiralty of the Imperial Japanese Empire to draw up a very complete proposal. At the same time, I hope that the German Empire will be able to maintain peace in Europe and the world with its powerful navy! Secondly, the significance of Austria-Hungary for peace in Europe was also extraordinary, and after the victories over Serbia and Italy, the southern part of Europe and the northern Mediterranean were increasingly stable under the Austro-Hungarian Empire, so it was understandable to maintain a main fleet of no less than 450,000 tons; Russia has a long coastline bordering the Baltic, Barents, Black, Bering, Japan and Pacific Seas. To defend such a large area, it is necessary to have a large navy of 300,000 tons; The Republic of Turkey contributed a lot to the defeat of Britain and France, and it defended the Black Sea and the Mediterranean, so maintaining a naval size of 250,000 tons would not destabilize the surrounding situation; The United States of America has always had two fleets, the Atlantic and the Pacific, looking east to Europe and west to Asia, and at the same time being the main protector of the Americas, enough to have a water force equal to the Russian navy; As for the Japanese Empire, because it is responsible for the defense of East Asia, the western and central Pacific Oceans, and the northeastern Indian Ocean, it should have a peaceful navy with strong combat effectiveness and high mobility! ”

Minoru Saito's face was already full of red light when he said this. The audience immediately burst into applause. Needless to say, it was also from the Delegation of Japan. Looking at the other delegates of various countries, they looked at the Japanese Navy Minister on the stage with surprise and even disdain, as if they had seen a shameless megalomaniac.

"Therefore......" Minoru Saito motioned to the members of the Japanese delegation to stop applauding for the time being. While raising his voice, "The Imperial Japanese Navy was supposed to maintain a fleet no less than the German and Austrian navies, but in order to show its sincerity for world peace, our country voluntarily reduced the tonnage of the Navy's capital ships to 400,000 tons!" ”

There was another round of applause from the audience, 400,000 tons, which is 100,000 tons more than the Americans, which means 3-4 first-class capital ships!

"400,000 tons, this is my country's survival line!" Japan's Minister of the Navy, Minoru Saito, reiterated once again.

Chen Tian sneered secretly in his position, he knew very well that the Japanese Navy could accept the bottom line, thanks to the Japanese communication secrecy technology that was not yet developed. Before the naval conference, Germany and the United States had already set up a special listening department for the Japanese delegation, and the best telegraph decipherers in the two countries had already made it clear that the instructions from Tokyo had been made clear - after the successive occupations of Singapore and Malaysia, the Japanese government needed to invest a certain amount of money and time to divert the resources of the two places, and a series of islands such as the Polynesian islands leased from the Germans were being converted into coaling stations and supply points, especially the port and fortress of Tahiti, which were under construction. This drained the Japanese government of its already modest financial resources, so Tokyo's intention was to avoid competing with Washington's navy in a favorable situation, and to scrap warships. Most of the battleships captured from the Russians were on the verge of being decommissioned, and most of them could only be used for the use of artillery shells in the event of a war.

At this time, the American representatives also looked at the Japanese on the stage one by one in confusion, this proposal by Minoru Saito can be described as an idiot's dream! Germany and Austria 500,000 tons, then the delegations of these two countries are really empty, because the size of their navy hardly needs to change; Russia's 300,000 tons, even if they are given more tonnage, it is useless, many people know that Russia's economic strength is just like that, a new capital ship a year is barely enough, and at the same time, there are constantly old warships decommissioned, and it is more than ten years before a large navy of 300,000 tons is built at this rate.

"According to the Japanese assumption, in 5 or 10 years, the United States will have to use 300,000-ton capital ships against the 40-500,000 ton capital ships of the Japanese-German-Russian combined fleet. General Benson said to President Wilson in a disdainful tone, and Wilson shook his head repeatedly:

"Fortunately, the Germans agreed to cooperate with us, otherwise the Japanese would really rely on their own advantages to ask for a price at the negotiating table!"

In contrast, it is clear that, with the exception of Russia, the other four countries are more willing to accept the German delegation's proposal, which is exactly what the German and American governments would like to see.

After the six naval delegations elaborated on their proposals, it became clear that the proposal of the German delegation was the most pertinent, and in addition to the Japanese delegation, the United States, Austria, Russia, and Turkey all expressed their support, so the conference voted on the first day to adopt the proposal of the German delegation for further discussion at the subsequent meeting.

At the end of the first day, the members of the Japanese delegation were discouraged, but in their character they would not give in so easily. At the banquet that night, the Japanese delegates were very active, Shigenobu Okuma in a wheelchair talked with the Austro-Hungarian crown prince for a long time, Foreign Minister Kato had a very pleasant conversation with the Russian Minister of the Navy, Admiral Ivan, and Saito actually came to the side of the German naval chief of staff, Field Marshal Bohr, who later recalled that at that time, Saito "constantly searched out flattering words in his head, and also talked about how the German-Japanese-Russian combined fleet was majestic and how the US ships in the Philippine Islands were terrified. As he spoke, he let out disgusting laughter from time to time! ”

The lively atmosphere of the dinner still couldn't get Chen Tian out of the depressed state he had been in for a few days, but his distant relative, Tsar Aglini, took the initiative to come over and chat a few words, and Chen Tian did not hide the fact that he was assassinated. Aglini's reaction to this was not strong, and he didn't have too many words of comfort, but just told Chentian to be more vigilant in the future. After that, Carl also came to greet him, but he talked lukewarmly about the assassination of Chentian, and then pretended to be surprised and concerned and said a lot, Chentian didn't bother to explain to him, and the two had a simple conversation for less than 5 minutes before they went to each other.

Still in a depressed mood, Tatsuten left the banquet early and returned to the villa, but less than half an hour after returning to the villa, the chamberlain reported to him that the triumvirate of the Japanese delegation, Shigenobu Okuma, Takaaki Kato, and Minoru Saito, had come to pay a visit.

Chen Tian quickly thought of the intention of the Japanese, which was their usual trick, so he ordered:

"Take them downstairs to the living room, I want to see what play they are going to sing today!"
