In the evening, the airship in which Chen Tian and his entourage arrived at the temporary airship landing site in the western suburbs of New York.

As soon as he stepped out of the airship, the cold sea breeze rushed in his face, Chen Tian tightened his collar, held Lisa and walked on the bright red carpet again, and then walked to the waiting convoy not far away in the beautiful sunset.

It was a convoy of similar size and composition to the one in the morning, with 20 Daimler cars and their drivers also shipped from Germany. Although this pomp and circumstance is not particularly large, it is not difficult to see it in detail, which shows the technical level and strength of its national industry.

In terms of the preparation of the means of travel, the delegations of the other four countries that came to the United States were also unwilling to be left behind.

The automobile industry in Austria-Hungary was in an almost primitive state compared to Germany, so they brought in a collection of horses and carriages from the country, and these carriages were just as eye-catching as they drove on the streets - the luxurious decorations, the purebred horses and the richly dressed coachmen all showed the royal elegance and elegance.

Coincidentally, the Russians also chose the same method as the Austrians, with nearly 100 well-bred horses and unique carriages being transported from the country. It's just that in Chentian's view, both countries "lack technological content".

Although the first domestically produced gasoline car was manufactured in Japan as early as 1907, its quality, production scale and technology were not comparable to the first-class industrial powers of Europe and the United States, and Japan's dwarf horses could not be compared with the best horses in Europe. However, the Japanese government temporarily purchased a batch of cars from the Ford Motor Company of the United States, and at the same time urgently dispatched a group of personnel to understand the technical performance and familiarize themselves with driving. When the Japanese delegation arrived in the United States, these cars naturally became their special cars, and although the "technical content" was not high, they finally entered the ranks of the car family.

As for Turkey, which is the most inconspicuous of the Six Nations Naval Conference, their domestic economic and industrial situation is no better than that of the Russians, and their advantage is the oil resources in their hands and the close relationship with Germany. Although the road conditions in the country are still very backward. The Turkish government still imports a batch of cars from Germany every year, and some of them go to the United States with the Turkish delegation, so that the Turks are quite passable.

The visit to New York is scheduled to last two days, and the Austro-Hungarian delegation is also visiting New York, but they will end their visit and leave for Boston the next day. The Russian delegation, as well as the Japanese and Turkish delegations, which are currently visiting Philadelphia, will also visit New York in the next three days, after which the delegations of the five countries will return to Washington, D.C., and the international naval conference will also be officially opened.

Before dark, Chen Tian's convoy drove into the New York City area. As night falls. The high-rise buildings are lit up one after another, and although these lights are somewhat monotonous in color, they are enough for the German guests to see the most brilliant night scene of this era, especially the 47-storey Singapore Tower, the 50-storey MetLife Building, and the 55-storey Woolworth Building, these supergiants are particularly spectacular under the spotlights, which also makes the German rulers envious.

The people in the car are looking out, and the people outside are looking in.

On a corner of the street, a pair of piercing eyes stared with a kind of hatred at the speeding convoy not far away. When the convoy had all passed, the man quietly disappeared into the darkness.

When the Kaiser and his entourage checked into the city's most luxurious hotel, they were in a damp, musty basement somewhere in the city. A group of people deliberated sometimes in a low voice, sometimes excitedly.

"Judging by what has been observed today. The German convoy was configured with seven police cars in the front, 20 cars in the middle and four police cars and five trucks full of gendarmes in the back. And the German Emperor and Empress were in a certain car in the middle! "The speaker was a bearded man, between twenty and thirty years old, with fierce eyes and a vicious look in his speech.

"Humph! It's better to block the front and back of the convoy and throw a grenade or two at each car, and everything will be solved! A man with a voice as rough as his face said, slapping the table.

The small table was the only decent thing in the basement, with several plates of leftover bread sausages and two bottles of liquor that were about to bottom out, surrounded by three old chairs, one for the first to speak, a guy with a hat and glasses who looked like a doctor, and a burly man with a square face.

"Reckless!" The doctor-looking man said lightly. The rude man immediately stopped squeaking.

The square-faced burly man had an unlit cigarette in his mouth, and the cigarette shook as he spoke, "I think it is indeed a feasible way to use a grenade, which can not only attack the target, but also create chaos, and it is not impossible to take advantage of the chaos to kill the German emperor!" ”

"I'll just say, hehe!" The man with a rough voice responded positively, but the doctor-like man gave him a cold look, and he retracted his head again.

"It's not a battlefield, but it's a battlefield. We must make sure that one blow to the target is fatal! The good-looking "doctor" said word by word, judging from the eyes of others looking at him, he seemed to be the boss here.

In the expectation of everyone, the "doctor" continued to explain his opinion: "The US government will inevitably send a considerable number of police and gendarmes to guard the places where the convoy passes, and it is not easy to block the front and rear of the convoy, and the chance of grenades if you want to get close is really small!" Besides, in terms of power, I don't think one or two grenades may be able to kill the people in the car, but it is not as reliable as using explosives! ”

There is no one to refute this, indeed, as former professional soldiers, they are well aware of the role and power of grenades. The grenade was designed to kill infantry, so even the most powerful German Army grenade was not sure to kill a person in a sedan from a few meters away, let alone a special car with thin armor and tempered glass. As for the Hale grenade used by the British Army, the shortcomings of its low power are well known to the world, and although the pineapple-shaped Mills grenade designed by the British later was in better condition, it was a pity that the war ended before it was put into production, and Dr. Mills and a group of technicians were nowhere to be found.

In addition, the US Army has so far not developed a specialized grenade.

"We don't have a shortage of explosives, but how can we ensure that we can kill the German emperor and get out of the way......" The square-faced guy before seemed a little hesitant at this time.

A guy in a peaked cap suddenly stuck his head out from behind, "Why don't we plant a bomb in their path!" ”

"It's hard!" The guy waved his hand in a rough voice, "First." We don't know their exact routes; Second, it is difficult to plant a bomb in an urban area without being detected; Third...... Belch...... Unless the entire convoy is sent into the sky with a large amount of explosives, the death of the German Kaiser is likewise not guaranteed! ”

"How about being a little ruthless?" A voice came from the corner, and a young man with clear eyebrows was half-leaning against the wall.

The "doctor" did not look back, "Tell me about it!" ”

"Now that the German Emperor has come to New York, we cannot afford to let go of this opportunity in any way! For our dead comrades, but also for our country! So...... "The young man did not rush to get to the point, but walked slowly to the light. A quick look at the people present. The twenty or so people here all belong to a non-governmental secret organization, the British Free Army, which is not only similar in name to the legendary Free Salvation**, the English Free Army, and the Scottish Salvation Society. Its purpose is also to take a curved route to save the country - first to develop power and raise funds through various means, then to retaliate against the victorious Germany in the form of assassination and sabotage, and finally cooperate with the government-in-exile to recover the British mainland.

So, even if you make some sacrifices, you don't hesitate! My idea is to use bomb attacks to distract them first, and this is the introduction! As soon as a bomb explodes nearby, I think the car that the guards focus on protecting is the target's car, and at this time, the second group of gunmen who are ambushed nearby will act together with the bomb throwers, so that the hope of killing the target is greatly increased! As for the place of the ambush. I think the places they would definitely visit are the Statue of Liberty, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Broadway. The Statue of Liberty neighborhood isn't conducive to ambushes, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Broadway are great places to be! ”

After thinking for a while, the "doctor" agreed with this method: "This method is indeed very good! I think we should call everyone together this time. That will greatly increase the certainty of success! ”

"The Metropolitan Museum of Art...... Broadway ......" the square-faced man muttered about the two locations.

"It's Broadway! As long as the German emperor dared to go. We'll let him go west! "Doctor," said viciously.

"We can also put a batch of bombs on a car. Then wait for the opportunity to rush to the vicinity of the Kaiser car and detonate it! To ensure success, we can put more bombs in the car, of course. We need a volunteer to drive the car! The young man did not think that if the attack had been successful, he would probably become the most famous car bomber in history, and might even be revered by later generations of terrorists as the "ancestor of suicide attacks."

"Good, good!" In the eyes of the "doctor", this idea is indeed "ruthless" enough.

"So be it. I'm going to step on it tonight! The clear-eyed young man took the initiative to ask, and the "doctor" naturally agreed very happily.

After deliberating on some details, the "doctor" waved the group away. In order not to be obtrusive, these people go out every half minute or so, and each one walks in a different direction, judging from that alone. They are not a reckless rabble.

"Go to Broadway now? Isn't it a little too rushed? Lisa looked in the mirror with some surprise.

"Well, go now!" Chen Tian stood behind Lisa and put his hands on her shoulders. "What? Are you tired? Or are you not feeling well? ”

"Nope!" Lisa shook her head, "Actually, it's quite comfortable to ride in an airship, it's much less bumpy than a car or train, and the only drawback is that the space on the airship is not very large!" ”

"That's because the Vostok is only a medium-sized airship, and a lot of space on it is occupied by those telegraph machines!" Chen Tian said and picked up the bell next to him and shook it, calling the attendant officer on duty outside the door, "Change clothes!" ”

"Changing clothes?" Lisa was even more surprised. Because at this time, Chen Tian was wearing his field marshal-style military dress, and he was wearing the big white skirt during the day, and the clothes of the two were not stained.

"Yes! We went in casual clothes so we could get a glimpse of the real Broadway! Chen Tian said and walked to the side, then stretched out his arms and asked the maid to take off his jacket for him.

"Oh! There will be no problem with safety! Lisa, though a little worried, went to her room and asked the maids to start changing her clothes, and the two of them spoke through an open door.

Chen Tian quickly took off the gray military uniform with the highest appearance rate, "Of course not!" Rainey, they're going to follow us, and the U.S. government has sent quite a few plainclothes agents! ”

"Shall I wear that dress?" Lisa quickly turned the conversation to something common to almost every woman, and she quickly made her rounds of her closet, which included both dresses and casual clothes, which were necessary for every trip, so she didn't have to worry or be glad that she had the right clothes, but just a little thought about which one to choose.

"Uh...... I remember you had a little light blue dress! That's a good one! "Chen Tian gave his opinion outside.

"This one?" Lisa asked the maid to show Chentian an off-the-shoulder blue evening dress.

"Hmm!" Chen Tian picked out a white shirt and a black dress for himself, and then asked the maid to send it to Lisa, "How about my set?" ”

"Yes, it's less restrictive and looks more spiritual!" Inside, Lisa replied that she was taking off her large European dress with the help of the maid.

"I think so too, the most important thing is that this dress is not so conspicuous!" As he spoke, Chen Tian began to comb his hair, and a hairstyle that was not the same as usual was being formed.

"If we want to be unobtrusive, we'd better leave Rainey without him, he looks too much like a bodyguard!" Lisa said loudly, regardless of the sadness of Rainey, who was waiting outside the door, when he heard it

"Don't worry, rich people who go out with a bunch of bodyguards will also go to Broadway!" Chentian's words finally relieved Rainey's siege.

"Oh well! It's been a long time since we've gone shopping like we used to! When Lisa said this, she was already quite expectant, indeed, since Chentian ascended the throne, they had lost the power to roll the road like ordinary people, and it was impossible for a family of four to go to the square to drink beer with the citizens as they had done in East Prussia.

"Yes, it just so happens that the weather here is very similar to the early winter in Germany!" Chen Tian obviously doesn't have to worry about the temperature, although he is not an emperor who lives an extremely luxurious life, but which clothes are not made of the best fabric? Lisa could boldly drape her pretty mink coat over the outside, which would not be too jealous in New York!

Ten minutes later, a handsome, young gentleman and a beautiful, noble lady climbed into a Buick car arm-in-arm, and in the driver's seat of this car sat probably the highest-ranking driver in the world today - von Jonalet, the Kaiser's first attendant, with the rank of deputy minister of government, and next to him was Renée Adler, whom the German Empress called "a bodyguard", the Kaiser's first chief of guard, with the rank of deputy division of the army.

After a puff of green smoke erupted, the American-made car drove towards the most lively place in the bustling city with four distinguished guests, three cars full of "bodyguards" in front and behind.
