When the young man saw Lin Yizhe looking at himself, he did not have the slightest timidity, but met Lin Yizhe's gaze directly, looking very stubborn. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Lin Yizhe felt the strong hostility emanating from the young man, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, judging from the military uniform on the young man, he should belong to the Prussian royal family, but when he met with William I just now, the other party did not introduce the young man, so he didn't know who the young man was.

In the distance, a whistle sounded, a small steamer dragged the target ship appeared, and the gunners of the "Weiyuan" ship, who had already been prepared, began to shoot their guns, the rumbling cannon sound and the flames spewed from the muzzle of the guns attracted the attention of the young man, he turned his head, no longer looked at Lin Yizhe, but stared intently at the cannons that were spitting tongues of fire.

Lin Yizhe noticed that when the target ship was shattered under the bombardment of the cannon, the young man's eyes were full of fanatical gaze, he stretched his neck, and his thin body involuntarily leaned forward, forgetting to hide his left hand.

Lin Yizhe's gaze fell on the hand that seemed to be a little shrunken, and his heart suddenly flashed like lightning!

He knew who the kid was.

"The gunners of the Chinese Navy are excellent." Wilhelm I couldn't help but applaud the Chinese gunners when he saw that they were skillful and accurate in their playing.

Seeing the king's applause, Bismarck and the surrounding Prussian military and political dignitaries also applauded.

"It is a miracle that the Chinese Navy can achieve such high achievements in such a short period of time." William I turned to Lin Yizhe and said, "It's amazing. ”

"Your Majesty has overspoken reputation, China's new navy and army are still in their infancy, and they need more help." Lin Yizhe smiled and nodded to William I, "China hopes to have more exchanges with Prussia on the construction of China's military strength." ”

Listening to Lin Yizhe's suggestive words, the eyes of Wilhelm I and Bismarck flashed with excitement, but the monarch did not easily express the joy in their hearts.

"Your wish will come true." William I replied with a smile.

"Your Majesty, Your Excellency the Prime Minister, as you know, this kind of exchange will not only enhance understanding and friendship between the two countries, but will also be of great benefit to the development of the armaments of the two countries." Lin Yizhe continued, "Next, I would like to invite everyone to enjoy a wonderful shooting performance. ”

After Lin Yizhe finished speaking, he waved his hand, and Bei Jinquan immediately blew the copper whistle hanging on his chest, and a slight sound suddenly came from the mast at the top of the three masts.

Several Chinese sailors lowered a lifeboat that had been prepared on the surface of the water and let it drift away from the current.

William I looked at the drifting boat, wondering what the Chinese were doing, only to hear the sound of "sudden bursting" light shooting, white smoke shot from the mast above his head, and then a thin white line rose on the surface of the water, and the white line turned a few times like a flying snake on the water, and then fell on the boat, accompanied by the rising Dao flames and scattered pieces of wood, the boat quickly shattered and turned into burning wreckage.

Due to the proximity, some fragments of the dinghy even flew to the side of the ship, causing an exclamation of surprise from the Prussians, who were close to the railing.

"This is ......" Wilhelm I and Bismarck were also obviously surprised, and each cast a surprised look at Lin Yizhe.

"This is the latest equipment of our navy -- the 'Lin-Gatling' machine gun." Lin Yizhe introduced with a smile.

"As far as I know, in the unfortunate war with France two years ago, the greatest casualties of the Prussian army were caused by the French 'Refye' platoon guns," Lin Yizhe said, "and the machine gun in front of you, Your Majesty, is far more powerful than the 'Refye' platoon." ”

William I stepped forward slowly, came to the side of the ship, and looked at the fragments of the wreckage of the dinghy on the water for a long time before slowly nodding his head.

"What a terrible weapon." He said in a slightly hoarse voice.

"In that war, if the Prussian army had been armed with such weapons, maybe the outcome of the war, would have been different." Lin Yizhe smiled and said, "Of course, that war has now become history, and history cannot be assumed. ”

"That's right." Seeing a look of loneliness on Wilhelm I's face, Bismarck quickly took over the conversation, "The Prussian army has begun to equip itself with such weapons. ”

After the end of the parade, when King Wilhelm and Bismarck and others were sent away from the "Weiyuan" ship, Lin Yizhe suddenly remembered the Prussian royal boy, he inadvertently turned his head to look for the young man's figure, and sure enough, as he expected, in those eyes, the hostility became stronger, and it seemed that it could already be described by the word hatred!

Lin Yizhe pretended not to notice him and turned around, but he could still feel that the boy was staring at him with that gaze.

"Willy! What are you doing? A female voice came, Lin Yizhe turned around, followed the voice, and saw a Prussian noblewoman in her thirties talking to the young man. She looked at the child with a glint of anger in her eyes.

Lin Yizhe recognized him as the wife of Prussian **** Frederick and the British princess Victoria, and her appearance and the name of the teenager she just said confirmed Lin Yizhe's speculation about the identity of this teenager.

This boy named "Willy", his official name, should be called Frederick? William? Victor? Albert. If this name alone appeared in the history books, it might not attract much attention, but if the name was replaced with "Wilhelm II", ......it would

"What do you have in your hands?" Princess Victoria looked at her son, her voice stern.

Willy ignored his mother, but walked straight to Hong Jun's side, stretched out his right hand, and spread his palm.

In the palm of his hand is a small coiled double claw nostalgic jade (Ping An buckle) made of jadeite that glows with a beautiful green light.

"Sir, your things have dropped." Willy looked up at Hong Jun and said in German.

Hong Jun recognized that it was what he was wearing, he listened to the interpreter's explanation, and immediately looked at the waist of the military dress, and found the broken stubble of the silk silk that was worn by the copper buckle of the belt, and couldn't help but smile.

"Thank you, kid." Hong Jun stepped forward and did not take the jade bi, but gently closed the hand of the young Willy, "This treasure, I will give it to you, may it bring you peace." ”

After listening to the interpreter's explanation, a rare smile bloomed on Willy's pale face, he nodded, said "thank you" in German, and turned back to his queue.

Lin Yizhe noticed that in this small episode, the young Willy did not look at his mother from beginning to end, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

It seems that the description of the tense relationship between Wilhelm II and his mother in the history books is not a lie!

After the review, Wilhelm I invited Lin Yizhe and other members of the Chinese mission to visit the royal yacht "Hanseatic". Lin Yizhe readily agreed, but at this time, he didn't notice the cold smile on the corner of his mouth when he stared at his young Willy.

Wilhelm I then held a banquet on the "Hanseatic" to entertain the Chinese mission, which was rare in the eyes of the Prussians, but in the eyes of the members of the Chinese mission, such as Lin Yizhe and Hong Jun, both the food and the utensils were much inferior to those held in Britain and France.

It's no wonder that for a country where the whole country is in full swing, too lavish banquets are to be scolded.

After the banquet, Wilhelm I invited Lin Yizhe and others to enjoy the cool chat on the deck, and Bismarck and others accompanied him. Since it was not a formal meeting, the atmosphere of the conversation was both relaxed and casual.

“…… The rapid rise of the Kingdom of Prussia was inseparable from the wise leadership of His Majesty the King and the loyalty and wisdom of His Excellency the Prime Minister. ”

In order to bridge the rift between the Prussian monarchs and courtiers, Lin Yizhe began to spare no effort to put on top hats for them. The reason for this is that Lin Yizhe understands that it is not in China's interests to weaken Prussia too much.

"And Marshal Long and General Moltke, together you have become the strong pillars of this great country, making the German nation strong and strong, and the miracles you have created will always be admired by future generations."

"Marshal Long, sharpened the Prussian sword; And General Moltke used this sword correctly; Prime Minister Bismarck has been so brilliantly grasping the direction of Prussian policy and diplomacy for many years. You are the foundation of the Prussian miracle, and whenever I think of the miracle of Prussia, I think of the three of you in particular. Lin Yizhe said to Bismarck and Moltke that although Long was not present today, Lin Yizhe did not leave one of the "troika" when he praised the Prussian monarchs.

"You've won the prize, Mr. Lin." Bismarck replied with a smile, although he seemed very calm on the surface, Lin Yizhe could see the excitement in his heart, "I am very ashamed of what you say, because the dream of reunifying Germany has not been realized to this day. ”

"But Prussia is now only one step away from reunifying Germany, isn't it?" Lin Yizhe said with a smile, "Although the results of this war were somewhat unsatisfactory for Prussia, the trend of Prussia to complete the great cause of German reunification has not fundamentally changed. As long as Prussia can heal the wounds of this war as soon as possible, the dream of German reunification will soon be realized. ”

"Your words are very reasonable, and you can see that we are trying to heal the wounds of war." William I couldn't hide the joy in his heart, because he had already heard the subtext of Lin Yizhe's words, "Of course, we also need more help. ”
