It's another sunny day with a cool day, and it's not too bad to visit the Statue of Liberty on Liberty Island in such weather, but it's not too bad.

Accompanied by U.S. officials, Chen Tian and his entourage boarded a ferry to Liberty Island at a Manhattan port. It's more like a luxury yacht for a wealthy family than a ferry, with an imposing look on the outside and an exquisite interior finish.

"The day before yesterday, the Austro-Hungarian crown prince and his entourage also took this ferry to Liberty Island!" A person named Bush told him that he seemed to be telling everyone that the US government does not favor any one country in its itinerary.

Chen Tian and Lisa did not respond, but looked at the Statue of Liberty in front of them, of course, from this angle to see the back of the Statue of Liberty, although this back is far less famous than her front, but it also has a beauty that cannot be ignored.

Mr. Bush did not care whether the guests were bored or not, and he said with a flattering face: "Normally, our country will only arrange very, very distinguished guests to go to Liberty Island, and as for ordinary visitors, just take a boat into the harbor and take a look!" ”

Chen Tian didn't know if this Bush had anything to do with another world-famous father and son, but this person's words were full of copper stench, and his snobbish attitude was even more disgusting.

"Jona Lite!" Chen Tian unceremoniously called his attendant, "Let the Americans change our guide!" ”

"Yes!" Jonalet faithfully carried out Chentian's request.

Ten minutes later, Bush disappeared in front of Chentian, and US officials temporarily found a female guide named Jona.

Chen Tian soon found that the female guide spoke German well, but the speed of speech was a little fast.

"You're German?" Tatsuten was a little curious, because it was generally difficult for foreigners to speak German at this speed.

"Uh...... My father was German, and my mother was American! Your Majesty! ”

In front of this eminent emperor, Jona still looked a little nervous.

"Oh!" Chen Tian then turned his gaze to Jona. Although she is mixed-race, she still has a pure Germanic face, which also makes Chen Tian feel a little affectionate about her. In any case, she is always much better than the previous Bush. The small Jona, who has short brown hair and is dressed very ordinarily, is only twenty-six years old this year, and still looks like a female college student, but has actually been working as a tour guide for 8 years.

"Where is your father from?" Lisa, tired of the compliments of American officials, also came over, and it is true that it is much easier to talk to such a girl than to talk to a politician.

"My father used to live in Stuttgart, but he came to the United States from Germany to do business. And met my mother here! Jona replied respectfully, "I've never been to Germany, but I'd love to have the opportunity to see it!" ”

"Oh, Stuttgart, an industrial city in western Germany!" When it comes to the geography of Germany, Lisa is still very familiar, so even though her home is far away in West Prussia in northern Germany, she can blurt out Stuttgart's characteristics.

Seeing that the Kaiser and his wife were very kind, Jona was not so restrained, "Yes." Your Majesty! My father said that when he was younger, he worked in a gear factory in Stegat. After his parents died, he packed his bags and went to New York with his friends! ”

"The United States is indeed a gold rush in the minds of many people!" Facing the sea breeze, Chen Tian was thoughtful.

"Freedom, democracy, peace!" After Jona uttered these three words. I suddenly felt that it was not appropriate to say this here, so I quickly apologized to the Kaiser and his wife, "I'm sorry, I'm not saying that Germany is not ...... enough"

"It's okay, this is free speech America!" Chen Tian's words were a little cold, but deep down he was a little indignant, the so-called freedom, democracy and peace are only relative, and no one can guarantee that the United States will still spend the next month in a lonely peace. However, many people in the world see Germany as a war machine of terror lacking democracy and freedom, and he is the country's outright dictator.

Lisa comforted Jona, who looked panicked, "It's nothing, freedom, democracy and peace are the goals that everyone is pursuing. It's just that the situation is different in every country! ”

Although Jona put away the panic on her face, she spoke much more cautiously after that.

Not long after, the ferry docked at the small pier on the north side of Liberty Island, this small island has long been occupied by a large number of police and military police, plus the protection of a personal guard, Chen Tian really has nothing to say about the security work here.

Designed by Eiffel, the Frenchman who designed the Eiffel Tower, this statue of the goddess of world civilization was completed in Paris in 1884, and in July of the same year, the French government gave the monument to the United States as a gift to celebrate the 100th anniversary of American independence. Mid-October 1886. The statue of the goddess was officially unveiled here......"

Listening to Jona's introduction, Chen Tian still doesn't have much feeling for this goddess statue, but admires her scale and momentum in his heart, no wonder the United States is known for its freedom and democracy, this statue is a good symbol.

After that, Chen Tian and his entourage also took the elevator to the top of the Statue of Liberty, for most visitors to New York, such a trip is really ordinary, Chen Tian does not understand why the boring Bush said that this is the enjoyment of VIPs, perhaps it is really an old saying: exaggerated!

Meanwhile, in the filthy basement of the previous night, the group had gathered again.

"I just found out that the Kaiser and his entourage are visiting the Statue of Liberty!" The scumbag seems to be in charge of finding out the news, and he came back to report on the situation of the German convoy yesterday.

"Sure enough!" Fang slapped the table, his mouth still holding the cigarette he never lit.

"Boss......" The bearded scumbag looked expectantly at the bespectacled Sven "doctor".

The "doctor" still had that calm demeanor, "What do you think, Sino? ”

Sino leaned silently against the corner, which seemed to be his exclusive place.

"From the point of view to me, our ambush plan on Broadway may have to change!" Sino didn't look at the reaction of the others, just looked straight at the back of the "doctor", and without waiting for everyone to ask, he continued: "Last night I observed the scene of the Austro-Hungarian crown prince and his entourage going to the Washington Square Theater to watch a play, the government deployed quite a lot of spies and patrols there, and when the convoy arrived, the cordon was very wide, and the crowd was about 30 meters away from the convoy, and there were many onlookers! If the bomb is used as planned. Distance is an issue, and the crowd will greatly reduce the lethality of the bomb to the target! ”

When he said this, the bloody image of the bomb exploding in the crowd suddenly appeared in everyone's mind, which was no stranger to the British veterans who had fought against the Germans, and many of their comrades died under the shells of the German army!

The "doctor" also did not look back, "You mean to use gunmen against targets?" ”

"Riflemen, to be exact, who hunt and kill targets!" Sino corrected, "The Germans call them snipers!" ”

"Sniper ......" was repeated in a low voice, a word that could easily evoke the memories of these battlefield frustrated. For example, in the Battle of Reading, nearly 30 percent of the officers of the three British infantry divisions were shot and killed by German snipers, which directly led to the failure of the command of the British officers and soldiers in the defensive posture and were in extreme passivity.

In the corner, a previously taciturn person spoke at this time: "Chief, I participated in such a special training when I was serving in the British 1st Infantry Division - using a rifle with a scope to shoot German ** officers on the battlefield, which is actually the sniper that Sino said!" However, our training lasted only three weeks before we went to war. Although some results have also been achieved. But when it comes to a German sniper who is specialized, it's tough! ”

Everyone looked into the corner, and it turned out to be the man with a melancholy face who usually wore a peaked cap, and few people here remembered his real name. Now people always call him "cap" or "unlucky".

"You can make one of those specialized rifles with our rifles, right, Katz!"

"Cap" looked at "The Doctor" with some surprise, and he was probably the only one here who would call his name.

"Yes, a good rifle, a smaller monocular, plus a good shooter, that's enough!"

"That's not a problem!" "The doctor" said in a calm tone, and to others he always seemed so calm. But it's best not to try the bottom line of his patience because of this, last time an unlucky guy annoyed him and was killed by extreme cruelty.

"To improve our chances of success, we need at least three people in three different places!" This time, without waiting for the leader's request, Sino took the initiative to put forward his own opinion.

The "doctor" quickly gave the list: "Kazi, Martin, and ...... Nosvo! Just the three of you, do you have a problem? ”

"I'm OK!" Katz was the first to respond.

"I think I'll be a good hunter!" The one who spoke was a man in an old waistcoat, and his name was Matt Martin. First served in the 3rd Division of the British Army, traveled to France, where he almost lost his life, and is said to have been a first-class shooter in their unit.

The last person, while expressing his obedience, did not forget to boast a little: "Everyone says that my eyes are like the eyes of an owl at night, and no little thing can escape my sight!" ”

"Well, Katz, you're in charge of modifying the rifle, and it must be done before dark!" The "doctor" slowly arranged the division of labor, the scumbag man was still in charge of investigating the intelligence, and Sino was going to take the two of them to Broadway to squat.

"We're working with our heads up this time, and everyone is giving me 200 percent of our spirit!" "The doctor" finally reprimanded.

After visiting the Statue of Liberty, Chen Tian and his party still boarded the same luxury ferry as they came, and soon re-docked at the westernmost ferry port on Manhattan Island. According to the plan, Chen Tian and his party will go to a nearly 100-year-old store near Central Park for a luncheon, and then enter the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, also near Central Park.

From the port to Central Park, Chen Tian and his party passed Broadway again, which was very different from last night's casual outing, and the New York authorities arranged for these dignitaries from Germany to be treated no less than the Austro-Hungarian royal family had received before - police cars opened the road, military police swept the tail, and there were a large number of police officers on both sides of the road to maintain law and order.

For such a big scene, there are not a few citizens watching on both sides of the street.

A young man with curly blond hair struggled to squeeze close to the cordon deployed by the police car to get a look, but only to hear the policemen in front of him shouting: "Stand back!" Back off! ”

At this time, the convoy had not passed here, so the curly-haired young man had to ask a man in a suit next to him: "Oh, such a big pomp!" There must be some prominent person coming! ”

"I don't know, maybe it's the Austro-Hungarian royal family who came to visit the day before yesterday!" The man seemed to be a businessman, but he didn't know much about the situation. It's no wonder that something as important as a foreign head of state's trip is classified as a top secret, and even the policing officers don't necessarily know who they're going to pass through.

"The Austro-Hungarian Crown? I heard they were here last night and saw a musical at the Washington Square Theatre! The pomp...... It is said to be very luxurious and spectacular! The young man praised it and only wished he had the opportunity to see the grand occasion.

"It's not necessarily the Austro-Hungarian royal family today!" An old man of fifty or sixty years old next to him did not seem to approve of the speculation just now, although he was quite old, his body seemed to be full of bones, otherwise he would not have come to this crowded place to watch the excitement.

The young man and the businessman-looking man looked at the old man expectantly.

"It is said that the Austro-Hungarian delegation has left New York today, and the German delegation came to New York last night! Maybe it's the German delegation that will pass by! Although the old man was only speculative, his tone seemed quite affirmative. Looking at his outfit, although the color of the coat is a little dull, the fabric is delicate and soft, and it is definitely a first-class good color.

"I see!" The young man suddenly realized, and at this moment, there was a commotion not far ahead.

"Look! As if they have come! The old man said as he poked his head forward.

Sure enough, just a minute later, police cars with American flags and German flags on the left and right sides of the car appeared in people's sight, and after seven or eight police cars, a new Daimler car followed, with two black, white and red flags in front of them.

At this time, the old man suddenly shouted: "Long live Germany!" Long live the Empire! Long live the Emperor! ”

Coupled with similar cheers around them, the whole street was filled with an atmosphere of great excitement.

The young man looked at the old man in surprise, it seemed that this guy was a German expatriate, no wonder he was so interested in the German delegation.

One by one, the cars drove in a single row on the middle line of the street, about ten meters away from the crowds on both sides. Despite the tsunami outside, the people in the cars did not seem to react, and the curtains were closed on each of the Daimler cars, so that outsiders could not see what was inside, let alone distinguish which one was the Kaiser's car.

In the eyes of this young man with curly blond hair, the convoy of the German delegation was far less imposing than the legendary Austro-Hungarian royal family with its splendid carriages and mighty cavalry, and he was about to say this to the man who looked like a merchant just now, but found that the man had disappeared at this time!
