Chapter 934: Project Aoki
"Elizabeth!" Shuzo Aoki subconsciously stood up.
"Do you think my words are too abrupt? There's no time for sentimentality anymore. Now it's about me and you, about our whole destiny. β
"Elizabeth!" Again, he wanted to interrupt her.
"No, I don't sympathize with you anymore. I choose you and love you because you are a free man, and I despise cowards and those who deceive themselves. Why should I be compassionate? What am I in your eyes? A broken mandate made you abandon me. But I will not let anyone abandon it and pick it up later; Now the choice is yours! I understand that if you stay here, a heavy blow will fall on our heads, I will never see my parents and siblings again, they will not let us go back, but if you stay with me, then I will admit everything. But if you want to separate us now, then we will be separated forever. β
He just sighed. But she was angry and energetic.
She walked out of the door and slammed it shut, while Shuzo Aoki was still standing there shivering. The sound of the door shutting made his legs limp. He had to sit down, depressed and at a loss. His head hung down, buried in two clenched fists.
Finally, he picked up the letter of attorney.
She had not returned to the house all afternoon, but he felt her will stand at the door, hostile and wary. But at the same time he felt another will, which was like an iron flywheel in his chest, pushing him forward. Sometimes he wanted to think about things one by one, but his thoughts were gone. He sat in a daze, as if he were thinking about something, when a nervous irritability hit him, and swept away the last vestige of his calm. He felt that both sides of his life were grabbed and dragged by superhuman power, and he had only one hope: to tear himself in half from the middle.
In search of something to do, he rummaged for a while in the drawer of the desk, tore up the letters, stared blankly at other things, and paced up and down the room without saying a word, and then sat down, and in a moment of distraughtness, he got up again, but exhaustion made him sit down again. As he packed up and dragged his rucksack out from under the couch, he suddenly burst into his hands, staring at the hands that were not governed by his own will, but were doing it all in an orderly manner. Later, when he suddenly put the beaten backpack on the table, he shivered again, and felt the weight of his shoulders, as if he had weighed all the weight of the age on his shoulders.
The door opened, and his wife walked in with a kerosene lamp in hand. She put the lamp on the table, and the round light kept bouncing on the rucksack. The room suddenly lit up. This brought back the sense of humiliation that had been hidden in the darkness to his heart. "This is to cope with the ...... In fact, there is still a lot of time...... I ......," he stammered, but his dull, stony, vanity gaze revealed the truth and crushed his words. She bit her lip with her teeth and stared at him very grimly for several minutes. She stood motionless, and then swayed slightly, as if fainting, and her eyes were fixed on him. The nervous look on the corners of her mouth eased. Her shoulders trembled, and she turned around, without looking back, and left him.
A few minutes later, the maid came and brought him his own meal. The place beside him was empty, and his heart was filled with hesitant feelings, and when he looked up, he found the symbol of cruelty: his special suitcase on the chair. He felt as if he had gone, gone, dead to the house: the walls were swarthy, the aperture of the oil lamps no longer reached the walls, and outside, behind the rusty light, night covered the earth. In the distance, there is silence, and the high sky covers the infinite earth, which adds to the sense of loneliness. He felt everything around himβthe house, the landscape, and his wifeβdie in his heart as well, and felt his abundant life suddenly dry up, and his beating heart was overwhelmed. At this time, he desperately felt the need for love, the need for warm and kind words. He is ready to accept all encouragement and comfort as long as he can return to his old life. Sorrow overcame anxiety, and his childish longing for a little warmth dissipated the noble sorrow of parting.
He walked to the door and gently turned the doorknob, but it wouldn't turn and the door locked. He timidly knocked on the door. There was no answer.
He knocked again. His heart was pounding, too. Everything was silent. Now he understands: it's all over. He felt a shiver. He blew out the lamp, and his shirt collapsed on the couch and wrapped himself in a quilt. At this moment, he really wished that everything would crash and forget.
He listened carefully again, as if he heard something nearby. He put his ear to the door and listened. It was still quiet outside the door, and there was no sound. He hung his head again.
Something touched him lightly under his feet, and he stood up in fright, but the fright immediately turned to emotion.
It turned out to be the dog, who had slipped into the room with the maid and was lying under the sofa, and was now approaching him, licking his master's hand with a warm tongue. The dog's ignorant love was a great relief to him, because it came from a dead world, and because it was the last thing in his old life that still belonged to him. He leaned over and hugged it as if he were a man. He felt that there was still something in the world that loved me, and did not look down on me, and for it I was not a machine, not a tool, not a cowardly person who could be driven by others, but a person who could be approached with love. His hand kept gently caressing its soft fur. The dog was closer to him, as if it understood the loneliness of its master. Both the owner and the dog breathed softly and gradually fell asleep.
He awoke and felt refreshed, the morning light had already appeared outside the window, sweeping away the darkness, and the lake shone brightly, reflecting the white outline of the distant mountains. Aoki Shuzo jumped to his feet, feeling a little dizzy from oversleeping, but he was fully awake, and at this point he saw the suitcase that had been packed. All of a sudden, everything came back to his mind, but it was daytime, and he felt much lighter.
Shuzo Aoki couldn't remember how he had come to Berlin, Elizabeth hadn't come with him, and of course, he didn't want her to come.
Now he has the consciousness of death.
When he arrived at the embassy, his predecessor had already left, and he took office after receiving the paperwork from the embassy counselor.
Despite knowing that it was dangerous, he actively carried out his work.
The first way he thought of to prevent Lin Yiqing from buying warships in Germany was a German newspaper.
He first investigated and ascertained which of the media active in Germany could be bribed and at what price, and then he bribed these media with money to spread the news that the government of the country had no money to buy warships. In order to ensure the success of his "news planning", he also sent a telegram to apply for financial support from China.
Just a few days after Aoki Shuzo implemented his "news plan", Lin Yiqing came to Berlin and was warmly welcomed by the German government and people, and the German newspapers and media were all full of voices of welcome and praise, and the discordant voices of the media that Aoki Shuzo had bought were completely drowned out and did not cause any repercussions. This made Shuzo Aoki decide to take a gamble.
In the evening, the German Emperor Wilhelm I held a state banquet at the Grand Palace to welcome Lin Yiqing's arrival, and invited a wide range of celebrities from all walks of life to attend, including ministers from various countries in Berlin.
In the evening, Aoki Shuzo carefully sorted out his appearance, wrote his suicide note, put it in a wooden box, placed it on the desk, and calmly left the embassy and got into the carriage.
When Shuzo Aoki arrived at the Grand Palace, the state banquet had already begun.
Willy, a young man dressed in gold, looked at Lin Yiqing with a pale face, and unconsciously reappeared in his mind the scene when he met Lin Yizhe.
"Mr. Lin, are you here to talk about your dreams? God has witnessed that you have destroyed the dream of the rise of a great family and a great nation with your own hands with the despicable 'Chinese magic box', and now you can still sit here calmly and talk about your dreams! My God! How shameless and cheeky it takes to do this! β
"You cunning Oriental barbarian, you have stolen the secrets of our country and shamelessly handed them over to the French! You have stabbed us in the back and brought us a great disgrace! You think that no one knows about your plot, but God Almighty knows! God will not let you go! β
"Willy! Shut up! β
"Don't call me Willy! I'm not British! β
"I have prayed to God Almighty more than once that the German nation, no matter how great the obstacles it faces, will be like the Huns who conquered Chang'an! The ultimate victor must be the great German nation! Your intrigues will never succeed! β
"Willy! You are so rude! How can you say such a thing to a guest! β
"He's not our guest! He is the enemy of the German nation! It's the messenger of the devil! β
"Shut up! You apologize to the guest right away! Right away! β
"I didn't do anything wrong! God will not accept apologies and repentances from a sinless man! β
"I'm very sorry, Your Excellency......"
"I'm really sorry, Your Excellency, please believe that this is not the ...... we want him to do."
"It doesn't matter, hehe, children's words are always not like adults, there are so many taboos. Perhaps His Royal Highness Prince William took some of the rumors as facts and misunderstood me in some way. After all, children are children, and they are easy to get angry, so it doesn't matter. Actually, I would have liked to discuss the Huns with His Royal Highness Prince William, because I happen to have a lot of research on this aspect of history. β
"If I'm not mistaken, the Huns committed horrific atrocities against the ancestors of the German nation."
"I remember that when the Huns ravaged the land of Europa, a group of Goths belonging to the East Germanic people, the ancestors of the German nation, were the first to die, and under the barbaric slaughter of the Huns, the Ottogoths (i.e., the Ostrogoths) were wiped out, and the Visgoths (i.e., the Visigoths) escaped and were forced to move westward, and then survived their ethnic group to this day. But today, I was very surprised to hear from the mouth of a future star of the German nation the heartfelt yearning and worship of the Huns who slaughtered their ancestors. β
"I would like to remind His Royal Highness Prince William of the historical fact that the reason why the Huns living in Asia migrated westward into Europe was because of their massacres and raids in Asia, which were effectively counterattacked by the Central Xia peoples in the East! Those Huns who ravaged Europe were precisely the losers in the struggle for hegemony with the powerful Zhongxia nation in the East! β
"What His Royal Highness the Prince just said is the truth, the Zhongxia people, who have lived in the hinterland of Asia for generations and created a splendid civilization, have been oppressed and ravaged by the Huns because of their own civil war. But another fact is that after just a few decades, the invaders were divided under the blow of the Zhongxia nation! The original occupiers were completely assimilated by their occupants, and their language, writing, clothing, appearance, and even surnames all disappeared, and they completely became part of the Zhongxia nation! The other group was forced to start migrating to the west and never returned! It was from then on that the word Huns disappeared from the lexicon of this people, completely becoming history! If Your Highness one day understands the great Zhongxia nation in the East, you will understand the incomparably powerful assimilation power of this nation, no matter how powerful the foreign race, even if they can be conquerors for a short time, their final fate is the same: if they are not defeated and driven away, they will definitely be completely assimilated, and will not leave the slightest trace! This is the power of the Zhongxia nation! β
"Therefore, I hope that Prince William can make due judgments after knowing more about history and facts, and not treat some things that catch the wind as facts that do not exist, thus affecting your thinking and judgment."
