Chapter 42: Face to face

Germany, Berlin Zietten Barracks.

With the arrival of the Oli Corps, there were nearly 60,000 returned troops stationed here, and on both sides of the road on the east side of the barracks, the soldiers returning from the Western Front looked curiously at the armored units from the German Expeditionary Force. These yellow lumps with black spots are superior in the desert, but they are so conspicuous and peculiar in the snow-covered part of Berlin.

The slightly wealthy Ollie stood next to an armored communication vehicle accompanied by several officers, it was already dark, the barracks was lit up by street lights, the infantry of the Orlie Corps had moved into the barracks, and groups of heavily armed soldiers had taken on the task of patrolling the barracks, the assassination of the emperor had made everyone here look serious, and the order to remain on alert had a vague tense atmosphere in the barracks.

The "Stone I" and "Stone II" tanks drove in front of the officers one by one, followed by the "Broadsword" wheeled armored combat vehicles and the "Trojan" wheeled armored personnel carriers. On each armored vehicle sat rows of neat soldiers, these soldiers of the German Expeditionary Force who fought deep in Africa were not long ago fighting in Africa, which was known for its heat, but fortunately after returning to Turkey from Africa, they had already changed into thick winter clothes and tasted the taste of snow and ice, and now they returned to the familiar and unfamiliar German mainland, and the soldiers did not feel too much discomfort. Like most German Army soldiers, they wore pointed helmets and gray military coats.

A cold wind blew, and Ollie couldn't help but tighten his coat, "Is there any news from Your Highness?" ”

"General, there are no new directives yet! Presumably, His Highness is on his way to the palace at this time! The adjutant-like officer replied that upon arriving in Berlin, they sent a secret telegram to Chentian's mobile headquarters, and then received instructions to stand by and keep a close eye on the situation.

Ollie didn't ask anything more, but thought with a frown. It's been almost 2 hours since he came to the Qi Teng barracks, but the other three troops in this barracks have not said anything, not even a liaison officer, Ollie knows that there must be a very important reason for this, but he has just arrived here, and he still lacks enough understanding of the current situation, so he can only wait for it to change.

About a quarter of an hour later, two lieutenants came briskly from a distance, and after a few whispers with Ollie's adjutant, the adjutant whispered a few more words next to Ollie, Ollie nodded, and then the group walked into the temporary headquarters of the Corps set up next to it.

By the time the Admiralty's convoy arrived at the palace, Tatsu had already received enough useful information from Tirpitz, and the two had some private discussions about the current situation.

The grand and closed door of the palace slowly opened, there were gorgeous, solemn, and supreme imperial power, Chen Tian took a deep breath gently, he hoped that this would be a great start.

After the car stopped, Chen Tian did not rush out of the car, but summoned his senior staff officers, and after a cigarette time, the three staff officers got into the three cars respectively, and then these cars quickly drove out of the palace and disappeared into the night.

After this, Chen Tiancai unhurriedly got out of Tirpitz's car, and then straightened his collar, he himself liked the big red collar badge on the field marshal's uniform, they symbolized honor, courage and pride; Then he put on his hat, a special pointed helmet made of leather, inlaid with gold, and covered with a bunch of white feathers, which was also the favorite style of the hats of Wilhelm II and the Princes.

Tirpitz, who was waiting on the side, nodded slightly to him, Chen Tian held his saber in his left hand, and at the same time straightened his chest, his chin tilted upwards in a majestic and proud posture, all peaceful and thoughtful eyes were retracted, replaced by a ruthless and indifferent look.

The bundle of feathers on Chentian's helmet shook up and down with his sonorous steps, and Tirpitz walked on his right hand side of the half of his body, he was wearing a blue-black generalissimo military uniform today, with a long sword at his waist, and a traditional naval ship-shaped military hat on his head, with golden tufts of velvet on top.

Behind Chentian and Tirpitz were five admirals, namely Admiral Schchermitt of the Admiralty, Vice Admiral Reutnin, Rear Admiral Nordman, Rear Admiral Benck, and Rear Admiral Nabil, all of whom were dressed in military uniforms and held their heads high.

The crisp sound of leather boots echoed into the distance in the slightly empty hallway.

The group walked straight to the hall where the emperor's body was kept, and the Praetorian Guard soldiers on both sides of the corridor saluted. Seeing Chentian coming, General Graff, who was standing at the door of the hall and waiting, immediately bowed in and greeted him, and at the same time glanced at Chentian and the generals' swords.

Chen Tian and his party stopped for a moment, he did not speak, but looked at the hall behind Graff, and he saw the figures of the queen and the prime minister.

"Your Highness......" Graff straightened up, the corner of his eye still resting on the swords of Chen Tian and the others.

"General, can we go in now?" Chen Tian said coldly, and at the same time glanced at the Praetorian Guard general in front of him, he was wearing the gorgeous and beautiful military uniform of the Praetorian Guard today, with a long sword pinned to his waist.

Graff lowered his head slightly, his gaze did not dare to look at Chen Tiantian, "Of course you can, it's just ......"

Before Graff could finish speaking, Chentian's steps had already stepped out, and Tirpitz and the others were still following closely.

After being stunned for a few seconds, Graff looked back at Chentian's back with a complicated expression.

When the sound of Chen Tian's leather boots got closer and closer and began to echo in the hall, all eyes in the hall turned to the door, except for one person.

When Chen Tian stepped into the hall, he saw the person at first sight, the person sitting in the corner with the support and care of others.

Chen Tian stopped again, and after scanning everyone present, his gaze stayed on that person.

Prince didn't turn his head, and his eyes and expression didn't even change.

Feeling the miracle of the creator, Chen Tian felt deep disdain for such an opponent, to be exact, his opponent was not this wasted man, but the queen and the prime minister who tried to put him on the throne of the German emperor.

In Chentian's view, the queen is out of motherhood, and the prime minister is stupidly overestimating his own abilities.

Looking at the menacing appearance of Chen Tian and his party, Queen Victoria glanced at the prime minister with a little uneasiness, and the old and spicy Bilo looked much calmer.

"Your Highness!" Birloh opened his mouth to break the terrible silence, "You're back! ”

After a full two seconds, Chencai turned his gaze from Prince to Bilow, but his gaze only stayed with Bilow for a second, and then turned to Wilhelm II, who was lying in the center of the hall.

This man was hated and adored by half the world, and millions of people lost their lives in his wars, and the world changed the landscape as a result. There is an innate restlessness in this man, this man wants to be respected by people in his bones, this man is a natural gambler, and now, this man has finally quieted down.

Wilhelm II's face was calm, even a little frighteningly calm.

Chen Tian knew that if he wanted to compete head-on, even if it was another ten years, he might not be sure of victory.

His fanaticism, his stubbornness, and even his roar, were unique to the Germans.

His power, his paranoia, and even his cruelty are terrible weapons for his opponents.

But he died, by an inconspicuous assassin, by an inconspicuous weapon.

Chen Tian suddenly remembered Rainey, the performance of this big man was much beyond his expectations, at least at this time, no one would implicate the emperor's death on his head.

Chen Tian slowly took off his hat and held it in his right hand, and his left hand was still pressing the handle of the sword, and walked towards the emperor's body step by step. If people really have souls, maybe the emperor already knows who wanted his life, but Chen Tian has no fear in his heart, in the past half a year, he has deeply realized the cruelty of reality, the emperor does not die, and he and his family will become the saddest victims, victims of politics and selfish desires.

The Emperor slept so peacefully as if he were asleep that there was no sound of breathing. Chen Tian walked to his side, and when he was alive, he had never seen this face so closely: some old, some tired, with deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, his nose still as straight as when he was young, a thick beard mixed with a few white whiskers, and his lips were thick and a little dark.

Chen Tian stood silently on the right hand side of the emperor, and at this time, the monarch killer felt a lot of emotion in his heart. After bowing his head in silence for three minutes, Chen Tian put away his emotions, and his heart was once again clothed with the armor of indifference. Then he walked slowly over to Queen Victoria, who was sitting beside her, who bowed her head and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

"Please mourn Your Majesty!"

This was the first sentence Chen Tian said after entering the hall, deep, but firm.

The queen was silent, she raised her head and glanced at Chen Tian, and glanced at the prime minister standing next to her out of the corner of her eye.

This action is very small, but it is very unfortunate to be captured by Chentian, and who is the main opponent is immediately clear!

After comforting the widow of the deceased, Chen Tian walked step by step to Prince, who was sitting on one side, his slender face was so familiar to Chen Tian, they had known each other since childhood, if people never grew up, then the two of them would probably always be good friends; If Chen Tian had been more modest, he might have seen nothing more than Prince's hypocritical kindness.

"Your Highness!" Chen Tian called softly.

Prince remained unresponsive.

The queen's eyes were a little uneasy, and she looked at the prime minister frequently.

Tirpitz on the side silently took these expressions of the queen into his eyes.

When he remembered the footsteps behind him, Tatsuten knew that it must be from Bernhardt, the current prime minister of the empire. Feng. Billo, with the character of the queen, she would not put Prince here, everything here must have been arranged by Billo. As for what kind of medicine is sold in the prime minister's gourd, Chen Tian will wait and see.
