The Demon King Chapter 20 Returns to Washington
Still a little drowsy, Tatsu got up to wash up and change clothes with the help of his attendants. In retrospect, the gray uniform still helped his safety - if he liked to wear white or red as the other monarchs did, and a certain cockscomb-like hat, the sniper might not have missed last night.
Chen Tian was no longer in the mood to rejoice, after this he dined in the room, listened to the report of the attendant, everything was as usual, but there was a familiar figure missing beside him.
After listening to Jonalet's report, Chen Tian learned that the mess of last night had finally been cleaned up, and that except for a few wounded people in the German delegation, the accompanying government officials and generals had recovered from the disturbance after a night's rest. However, although people don't say anything, there is always a strange atmosphere among them.
Because of such a bad incident, Chen Tian decided to cancel all the scheduled activities on this day, and after a simple breakfast, everyone drove to the airship docking point in the western suburbs under the escort of several times the number of guards who came.
New York, the capital of freedom and prosperity, only left an extremely bad impression in the minds of Chen Tian and others - the hustle and bustle here is more like a coin in a stinky ditch at this time, and no one wants to pick it up again.
Compared to when they came, everyone's movements when they re-boarded the airship became much faster, and everyone seemed eager to get out of this place as soon as possible. In addition to the American airship piloted by Nasa earlier, there were also twelve yellow-painted biplanes parked on the flat grass side of the flat grass, and after the huge airships flew one by one, they also took off one after another and circled back and forth near the airship formation.
Chen Tian was no longer in the mood to observe the escort planes sent by the US government, but he still asked the accompanying staff officers to record the appearance and general performance of those planes.
Due to the tailwind, Chen Tian and his party returned to Washington after 4 hours. It is true that the high-rise buildings here are nowhere near New York, but the orderly streets and open spaces here are comfortable, but by this time the U.S. government has strengthened the security and security work here, and the streets are full of small groups of soldiers, which gives the illusion that war is approaching.
Chen Tian and his entourage did not return to the Capital Hotel where they stayed before. At the request of the German diplomatic department, the U.S. government arranged a more ideal and reliable place for the German naval delegation to stay - a villa on the west bank of the Potomac River and across the river from the Lincoln Memorial. This area is the villa area of the wealthy in Washington, and the mansion that Chen Tian and his party lived in belonged to an American industrial tycoon with a net worth of hundreds of millions, and Chen Tian later learned that the rich man's free provision of the villa to the government was just a different kind of "political donation", and he was surprised that he could only sigh at the enthusiasm and sensitivity of American businessmen to participate in politics.
The interior of this luxurious-looking villa is almost comparable to that of a small royal palace, so when the American officials who received it asked Chen Tian if it meant here, all Chen Tian had to pay attention to was the security situation around him.
"You can rest assured that our government has sent 200 police officers and more than 1,000 soldiers to work in the area day and night. The bridge leading to the city is also tightly controlled, and outsiders will be restricted from entering the area until the end of the naval conference! In addition, the military will also send three airships and a squadron of fighter jets to patrol the nearby airspace to ensure that the safety of the place is foolproof! The U.S. official proudly introduced to Chentian, a demeanor that reminded him of the Rusty Bean's tour guide when he visited the Statue of Liberty.
The word "foolproof ......" Chen Tian had heard many times before, but it still happened angrily. He reluctantly agreed to stay here temporarily, but 30 German soldiers from the German Embassy in Washington were to be reinforced, and he would not travel anywhere for visits until the International Naval Conference.
The Americans had no choice but to agree.
After that, Chen Tian urgently recalled Hoffman and his entourage, who were about to leave Boston for a military visit to other parties. This is, of course, for security reasons. Hoffman himself had some regrets. But the first few days were also quite fruitful, so immediately after receiving the order, he returned to Washington with his officers under the escort of the American side.
The Englishman Northwall, who had almost put the German Emperor to death the night before, was today depressed in the cellar of a small wooden house. There were several wine bottles lying next to him, and the air around him was filled with a strong smell of alcohol.
When the cover on the other side of the staircase was opened, Northvo didn't even bother to pull out his pistol.
The visitor was Sino, who came down with a basket of food in his hand.
"Hey! Northvo, are you crazy? I was actually drunk in broad daylight! Do you know that there are countless cops and GIs out there searching for you, but you don't even have the slightest hint of vigilance! Sino wrinkled his nose and picked up an empty wine bottle, which was still a full bottle of liquor a long time ago, "God, do you want people to smell the wine here?" ”
"Don't bother me! I'm killing myself with alcohol! Northvo said drunkly. The tongue is a little knotted.
"Suicide? You're also a great hero in the UK! Sino said as he lifted the curtain from the basket, which contained fragrant bread and some grilled sausages, but Nosvo didn't even look at it.
"Not hungry?" Sino picked up an oval loaf of bread and shook it in front of Northvo, but he waved his hand away with his right hand.
"Although the assassination was not successful, there is no need to be so decadent!" Sino didn't understand the strange behavior of the guy in front of him, because Noswo was usually a very optimistic person who liked to laugh, but in just one night, he seemed to be a different person, plus that stubby beard. Purely a frustrated wretched wretch.
Northvo responded to Sino's question with a hiccup.
The strong smell of alcohol displeased Sino, and he pulled Northvo up and stared viciously into the drunken man's eyes, but Northwall's godless eyes desperately tried to escape.
"Wake up, you big bastard!" Sino pushed him to the ground, but he just struggled to pick up the bottle next to him, which seemed to have become his only spiritual sustenance now.
Sino sighed and left disappointed.
Only Northvo himself knew what had happened last night, and after Sino left the cellar, Northvo whimpered on the ground.
"I'm so scared! Katz, Martin ......"
If you have a choice. Northworth would rather not be a hero than let his companions die for him.
After leaving the cabin, Sinos couldn't understand Noswodi's strange behavior, and then he thought of "The Doctor".
Half an hour later, Sino stood in front of the grim face.
"Do you know where Norsworth is now? I never thought he would ......."
"I know!" The "doctor" interrupted Sino, "he is very disappointed in me!" ”
"Katz is dead, Martin is dead, and now Northworth is like a lost soul. Why did our actions become the way they were? As he spoke, Sino couldn't control his emotions a little.
"Are you questioning this operation? Or are you questioning my decision? The "doctor" asked these two questions very suddenly.
"I ......," Sino was momentarily speechless.
"Doctor" doesn't seem to want to blame the West exclusive text version for the first time, it may not be reproduced without consent, excerpts, more of the latest and fastest chapters, please visit! The doubts in Sino's heart turned into a clueless ball of yarn because of the "doctor's" "mixing" just now, and since he didn't know where to start, he simply echoed it: "Yes, maybe this is the arrangement of fate!" ”
"Fate? Hum! He's just lucky! The "doctor" had a vicious expression.
Sino was about to walk out the door. The "doctor" suddenly stopped him.
"That's right. You go back and pack your bags, and we'll leave tonight! ”
"Go? Where to go? Sino asked instinctively.
"Japan!" The "doctor" replied succinctly.
"Japan?" Sino's mind went blank for a moment, the word Japan was too far away for him.
"A boat came to the dock tonight to meet us. Don't tell anyone about it until you get on board, remember! No matter who asks, you can't say, understand? The "doctor" cautioned.
"Okay!" Sino responded, but his mind was filled with huge questions. When he visited Nosworth in the cellar of the cabin in the afternoon, he found that it was empty, except for the smell of spirits in the air.
For a whole afternoon, Chen Tian spent the day in silence.
An hour after lunch, he read the German-American "Washington Secret Treaty" signed at the White House this morning, as well as some documents from China. He was pleased with the results of the diplomats, and the secret agreement included all his requirements, with some details being improved. What pleases him the most is that it means that the doors of the Americas have been opened to Germany.
In contrast, the domestic documents are somewhat insignificant, with only one of them being a request for instructions on investing in the establishment of large metallurgical plants in Africa, which appears to be more important. Originally, such a report only needed to be approved by the Ministry of Industry and the Cabinet, but this time, because it involved the mining of minerals in many locations, the investment of money and manpower was much higher than before, and it was generally a report on the plan for the development of African minerals in Germany in the next ten years.
Turning it over and over several times, Chen Tian was never able to put it into it, as long as he put it aside and look at it later.
The next period of time. Chen Tian thought about the past, present, and future, and occasionally sat there stunned without thinking about anything.
Lisa came at about 4 o'clock, and she saw that Chentian was preoccupied, so she invited him to go for a walk in the back garden.
"Let's go get some fresh air, and see the sun by the way, I think it will be better that way!" Lisa said with concern.
Although he preferred to stay alone in the room, Chen Tian thought that Lisa had a point, so he got up and walked out with her.
As we walked through the corridors and halls, the attendants were rearranging their arrangements, and a couple of maids with flowers in their hands happened to walk in from outside.
"Even though it's winter, there are still a lot of flowers in the garden at the back, so I asked them to pick some and put them in the house!" Lisa explained.
Although Chen Tian didn't know what kind of flowers they were, some of them might just be small wildflowers that grew naturally, but he felt that they could make people feel a tenacious vitality, and they still bloomed in such cold weather.
"Don't think that there are only snowflakes in winter!" Lisa said as she took a small bouquet of flowers from one of the maids, "You see, this petal is a type of camellia!" This orange-red orchid is called Gentleman's Orchid, which is native to Africa and can now be found on all continents of the world! ”
Chen Tian doesn't know what to say, he is an out-and-out "nymphomaniac", except for the simple common sense of being able to distinguish between roses and moon seasons, and knowing what is a lily and what is a narcissus, he doesn't know anything about the types of flowers and habits.
In this way, Chen Tian is a little interested in the place where flowers bloom in winter. He and Lisa quickly walked to the back of the villa, and before they could go out, they saw a garden full of plants like a flower bed.
"It's really a rich family!" Chen Tian thought to himself, although the area of this garden is not large, it can be arranged quite chicly, with specially planted flowers and trees, as well as wild flowers and plants that grow silently. Although Christmas is approaching, it is as vibrant as spring.
Compared with Lisa, who is concentrating on the beautiful scenery, Chen Tian looks farther away, the garden is open, surrounded by a low fence, outside the fence is a stone path, and about 300 meters away there is a cedar forest, where some of the cedar trees have grown very tall, which is just right for Christmas trees. If there were no sentinels walking around, it would be a beautiful countryside.
Thinking of Christmas, Chen Tian misses the big Christmas tree full of colorful stripes and gifts at home when he was a child, and the beautiful snow in eastern Germany. It also snows in the United States at Christmas, and the snow is the same white, but Chentian still hopes to be able to return to his home early to spend a beautiful Christmas with his family.
Now there is still half a month to go before this year's Christmas, and what separates Chentian is the negotiating table and the vast ocean.
Chentian and Lisa wandered around the calm garden until late in the evening when Hoffman and his Army delegation returned from Boston.
After meeting Chentian, Hoffman's first words were: "Thank God, I finally met you!" Your Majesty, you know how worried I am! ”
These words seem familiar, but what remains unchanged is the sincere friendship.
