The Demon King Chapter 15 Wilhelm the Great

.“ Don't think that these Americans have a good opinion of Germany, they just don't like Britain very much! All they worship is money! ”

Although the audience below applauded for nearly a minute, Chen Tian didn't buy it, and he still didn't have any good feelings about these American people. Moreover, for the title of "Emperor", he feels that he is far from reaching that level - defeating France with the already dominant German Army, and defeating the British Navy with a plan to occupy LinkedIn territory, although this is a proud record, but Chentian's current achievements are not even a unified Europe, and how can they be compared with Alexander the Great, who ruled the Greek Commonwealth, destroyed the Persian Empire, and established a huge empire across Europe and Asia, even compared to Caesar, the founder of the Roman Empire. Frederick the Great, the founder of the German Empire, and Emperor Napoleon, who almost unified all of Europe, have a long way to go.

Including Lisa, the entourage expressed their support for Chentian's words with silence.

In fact, Chentian's view is somewhat biased, and most Americans are still in awe of Germany, the winner of the European War. Although the emergence of the current Pacific crisis is inseparable from the covert operation of the German government, the American people do not know much about this inside story, and they only see that the German government and their government have proposed to convene an international naval conference and are actively campaigning, and the once tense situation in the Pacific has also taken a turn for the better, so that the German government has established a good image in the minds of the American people.

As for the British, although they had a close relationship with the U.S. government, the American people still have the shadow of the American Revolutionary War, the Second U.S.-British War, and especially the British arms burning Washington in 1812. When Britain fell and its colonial power declined, this situation undoubtedly gave the United States a good opportunity to expand, but before this expansion could be implemented, it encountered a severe Pacific crisis.

The audience finally got tired of applauding and sat down again, and the theater hall was calm again, and the sometimes melodious, sometimes passionate music once again surrounded the ears. The actors on stage dressed as German soldiers are still working the performance, the two protagonists. One plays the emperor of Germany and the other plays the king of England, and they are singing a duet across the blue set that symbolizes the sea:

"Oh victor, please spare my country and people, do not let them become slaves without freedom and soul, I am willing to submit to your feet!"

"No, there is only one way for the loser. Then be a slave for generations! ”

"My Lord......"

It was nearly 10 o'clock in the evening when the musical ended, and Chen Tian and his party were about to leave, but they were told by the waiter outside that everyone needed to wait for the Austro-Hungarian royal family to leave first. Chen Tian was not annoyed, but sat back in his place silently.

"What? Your Majesty, are you not happy? Seeing that Chentian didn't say a word, Lisa asked with concern.

Chen Tian raised his head calmly and said, "It's not that I'm unhappy, it's just a little unexpected, and now my head is messed up!" ”

"Is it because of this musical?"

Lisa guessed accurately, and Chen Tian nodded. "Hmm!"

"Americans are probably uninhibited. That's why I play everything! However, I don't think they meant to slander Your Majesty! Lisa comforted Chentian.

Chen Tian clasped his hands together, and his eyes were a little complicated.

"I'm not dissatisfied with the content of the musical. It's just that I was suddenly put on the stage and I didn't adapt to it all of a sudden! Maybe...... I've never given myself a clear position! ”

"You?" Lisa smiled, "You are our great emperor and the idol of the people!" ”

"I don't know what people will think of me in a hundred years!" Chen Tian said this meaningfully.

At this moment, the outside of the theater is recreating the lively scene of the arrival of the Austro-Hungarian royal family. It was still the ornate carriages and majestic cavalry, and the New York police officers in black uniforms were inconspicuous in comparison. This time there were many more people gathered outside the square than when they came, and many New Yorkers even rushed to see the Austro-Hungarian royal family when they heard the news, and of course, such a scene did not disappoint them.

"Long live Austria!" Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted in German.

Mr. and Mrs. Carr seemed to hear this, and they waved to the crowd rather gracefully, only to have more similar shouts:

"Long live the crown prince, long live the princess!"

"Long live Austria, long live Hungary!"

"Long live the Empire!"

The policing officers did not stop it. Because those must be some Austro-Hungarian expatriates or tourists.

In this case, the Karls simply stayed outside for a while, and the two waved to the crowd around them frequently, and only after nearly a minute did they reluctantly get into the carriage.

Soon, the motorcade departed, escorted by cavalry.

In an inconspicuous corner, a group of people coldly watched everything that had just happened!

"It's really not the damned German Emperor!" One of them whispered, with a lot of unwillingness in his words.

"The Austrians are not a good thing either!" The other said indignantly, "Sooner or later, you will be punished!" ”

"Alright, let's go back!" After this man speaks. The others walked silently into a side alley.

The man didn't mean to blame the person who "lied about the military situation", he just ordered: "Sino, you continue to investigate the situation in the vicinity, the Austro-Hungarian crown prince is here, and I think the German emperor will also come in the next two days!" ”

"Hmm!" Sino answered, his face drooping.

After patting the other man on the shoulder, the man also walked quickly towards the alley, where there were still twenty people standing just now, and now only Sino was left, his slightly thin body standing in the cold wind. By this time, the Austro-Hungarian convoy had already left, and the people who had left the theater had come out of the theater one after another, and the bustling crowd moved again, plus the previous onlookers.

Leaning against the cold wall, Sino took a cigarette out of his pocket, lit it, and smoked as he watched the passers-by, with mixed feelings.

He was a deserter, a deserter from the British Empire!

It was an extremely brutal war, especially for the losing side. Countless times, Sino dreamed of his fallen comrades, the mutilated corpses, the hellish battlefields, and the Germans who poured in. Countless times, Sino wakes up from his dreams to find that his vest is soaked with sweat. But he could only hold his head and cry in great pain.

As soon as he closed his eyes, Sinoe seemed to be back to that beach, the beach famous for the victory of the Germans - Bonemouth. The German naval artillery turned the beach into a purgatory of fire, and the German landing force was as terrifying as piranhas in the tropical jungle, with the harsh, terrifying sound of mechanical grinding......

"I'm not a coward!" Sino struggled inwardly, his troops were scattered, and he followed the rest of the rout all the way north to the edge of the sea. Over there. He secretly boarded an American freighter and hid in the bilge for two weeks, and during that time he was worse than death, but he was much luckier than those who died!

After being taken in by the "doctor", Sino went from being an army staff officer in the British Empire to a gangster with a dog-headed military advisor, and the only thing that remained unchanged was his patriotic heart.

Shortly thereafter, the fall of Britain proclaimed a government-in-exile in Canada, organized by Lloyd George, and Edward VIII became the first monarch in exile in British history.

Hearing this, Sino locked himself in his room. Reluctance to speak for a week.

Suddenly I felt the temperature of the cigarette butt. Sino awoke from his memories violently, plucked his cigarette butt and threw it on the ground, then stomped it out. He looked around. Himself is still in the vicinity of Washington Square.

After thinking for two seconds, Sino turned and walked north along the street. When he walked through the square, Chen Tian and his party happened to come out of it.

Under the escort of Rennie and others, Chen Tian and his wife walked unhurriedly towards the car that was already waiting outside.

"It's so cold! I've got to take a hot shower when I go back! After walking out of the theater, Chen Tian felt that his spirit was much clearer, but he soon felt a chill on his body.

"Let's take a shower and rest early, there are still many arrangements for tomorrow!" Seeing that Chentian was fine, Lisa cared about his diet and daily life as usual.

Sino stopped suddenly, he was an extremely sensitive person, and he had never heard the voice of the couple who had just walked by. But he had a strange feeling, as if the two men had met somewhere. However, Sino immediately overturned his assumption, and the more he came to Broadway, it was inevitable that he would see one or two rich couples repeatedly, and his nerves seemed to be a little tight!

Ten seconds later, however, Sino came to his senses: the two men spoke German!

Sino looked back and saw that the couple was next to a car twenty meters away, and a bodyguard-looking guy had opened the door for them.

Although only one back is seen. Sino thought that man was Kaiser Wilhelm III. I had seen William III's high-spirited and grim face in the newspapers more than once, and there was no shortage of full-body portraits of him, and each one of them was edited by him and pasted on the head of the bed. That back is so similar......

At this time, Sino was hit from behind, and he lost the opportunity to change history.

The person who hit him said sorry repeatedly, and Sino didn't say anything, but stared in the direction just now, but the couple had already gotten into the car, and the two guys in black trench coats on the other side were looking at him.

After hesitating for a second, Sino watched the car drive away.

He withdrew his right hand from his trench coat, bent down to pick up the hat that had fallen to the ground, patted the dust on it, and glanced at the car in the distance with a calm expression but extremely complicated in his heart.

For the strange person who passed by just now, Chen Tian and his wife didn't pay attention at all, but Rennie noticed a trace of abnormality, but seeing that the person didn't have any bad behavior, he should be too careful.

"Rainey, do you understand the musical?" After returning to the car, Chen Tiancai remembered this very important question.

"I barely understand English!" Rainey said aggrieved, which meant that his two hours in the theater were very boring.

"I don't speak English very well, so I can only read and understand half of it!" Lisa also seemed a little helpless.

"I'm in a similar situation!" Chentian is barely reading English materials, and listening to English dialogues is not very good. Therefore, he felt that there was no need to go to Broadway with the members of the Navy delegation to listen to musicals tomorrow, but it was the official itinerary arranged for them by the American authorities, probably like the Austro-Hungarian crown prince and his party went to Broadway tonight.

Chen Tian looked at Lisa beside her, and she probably had the same opinion in her heart. When Lisa turned her head to look at him, he said:

"Tomorrow we will visit the Statue of Liberty and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, both of which don't require English, and the Americans have found a German-speaking guide for us!"

"Didn't we see the Statue of Liberty on the way here?" Lisa was a little confused.

"Oh, the U.S. government has to arrange such an event, as if to show off their greatest work of art! Unfortunately, they forgot that I was a demon who destroyed artifacts, and maybe they would have sighted of their Statue of Liberty that day! Anyway, there are no outsiders, Chen Tian said half-jokingly.

Lisa didn't continue the joke and moved on to another attraction the next day: "I heard that the Metropolitan Museum is actually a huge treasure trove!" It houses millions of treasures, many of which are priceless! ”

Although Chen Tian has not studied this museum in particular, he has heard of it for a long time, "It used to be a great treasure trove in the world on a par with the British Museum, the Louvre Museum in France, and the Hermitage in Russia. During the war, the British Museum and the Louvre were badly damaged by artillery fire, most of their collections were removed, and the Tsar's treasury was plundered by the revolutionaries during the revolution, so there is no museum in the world that can compare with the Metropolitan Museum of Art! ”

"It's a pity, it's a pity Lisa also wondered whether it was because of the damage to the two museums or because the treasures inside had not been seized by the Germans, but she was very sorry.

"There are some priceless treasures that cannot be bought, and only war can make them change places, which may also be a characteristic of war!" Chen Tian said in a deep tone, according to his spy agency's speculation, 90% of the British Museum's collection has been shipped to Canada, 60% of the Louvre's collection is still in the south of France, about 35% is stored in Swiss banks, and the thousands of treasures obtained by the German ** team in the war are just a drop in the bucket!

"But war can also destroy some of the same priceless buildings, and some of the treasures may go to the people or be missing! I think it's a bit ...... to get treasures through war," Lisa paused, searching her mind for a suitable word to describe it.

"Some chickens are killing chickens and eggs, aren't they?" Chen Tian said this idiom from China in German, although the artistic conception is somewhat different, but it is quite vivid.

"That's right! It's just killing chickens and taking eggs! Lisa affirmed.
