John the Elder, a Jew, was Berlin's most famous jeweler and master jeweller. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He gently lowered the light microscope on his eyes, forgetting where he was, leaning heavily against the leather chair, hoping to sink into it.

His chest rose and fell slightly, and his hands were still trembling, and he kept gently rubbing the gem that seemed to have penetrated into his heart and couldn't pull it out.

"John! Is it true? ”

An urgent urge woke old John up.

He then remembered that he was not in his own studio, nor admiring his own secret collection, but in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Berlin, Germany.

John Sr. was woken up in his sleep when a group of heavily armed soldiers broke into his mansion, and John Sr. almost lost his bowel movements, thinking that the Germans were going to be anti-Semitic, and that all Jews knew that the German Emperor did not like Jews.

Later, I realized that he was asked to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to have a work of art appraised.

In this way, while still in his pajamas, John Sr. was invited to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and then taken to the secret room to have a diamond appraised.

"Genuine! Absolute authenticity. And it's superb! ”

Old John said as he waved his arm, his thin arm looking extremely powerful.

The foreign minister breathed a sigh of relief, this is the real thing, this not only means that he can convince the Kaiser, but at the same time he himself will be appreciated by the Kaiser, this emperor is very emotional, a bad prime minister is said to be replaced, Bismarck is a famous minister, without the emperor's approval, can only be forced to resign.

Although the foreign minister is also a high authority, who doesn't want to go further and taste what it's like to be Bismarck, at least Bernard is still confident in his political wisdom.

So this night, Bernard did not go home, and waited until dawn to report to His Majesty the Emperor at the palace as soon as possible.

Yang Chao was very relieved, he was not worried that the Germans would hack his things, because it was too embarrassing and unacceptable to the German emperor with extremely strong self-esteem.

It would be too much to say that it would be too much to say if despicable means were taken to acquire this big gem and show the glory of Germany's world power, so even if it was handed over to the Germans for the time being, after they figured it out, they would still come to Yang Chao, and the Germans needed Yang Chao to give this gem to the German emperor in an open and honest way.

And Yang Chao still has a backhand.

"Jewels? You know, I fell overboard in Spain and drifted to France. I thought I was going to die. Speaking of gems, oh oh. ”

The German journalist Leonie now cared for nothing but the gem, and when she saw the German foreign minister take the gem, she felt like her heart was about to break.

Leonie originally planned to interview the Chinese mission, among which Zaifeng was indispensable, of course, she also planned to interview Yang Chao, because Yang Chao was already a celebrity, a diplomat who drifted from the Spanish coast to the French coast and did not die, and he was still a diplomat who came to Germany, and the story on her body was too strong.

Fortunately, not only was her request for an interview granted, but Yang Chao also managed to get her to a dinner thanking the German Foreign Minister.

But now Leonie has long forgotten those original thoughts, and she only cares about the story of the diamond that is going crazy.

"I'm just talking about diamonds. I vaguely remember that when I fell into the water, I was swept to the bottom of the ocean by the current, and I found the shape of a sunken ship, and I fiddled with it, and finally found this gem. Then I couldn't hold my breath anymore, so I swam hard to the water, and then I got tired, drowned, and fainted. When I woke up, I found that I had been saved by the kind Frenchman. ”

Leonie listened to it, the pen under her hand was still writing, she was very satisfied with Yang Chao's statement, bizarre and exciting, men absolutely didn't believe it when they heard it, but women like these, such gems, they can't appear too calmly, a miner casually picked up in the pile of stones, it's too boring.

"What else?"

Leonie asked.

"And? Gone! ”

Yang Chao shook his head.

Leonie glanced at Yang Chao with disdain: "I mean, what are you going to do with this gem?" I've heard you say it's a thousand carats, oh my God, I'm going crazy! Let me calm down. ”

Leonie found herself unable to speak, and took a long deep breath with her hand on her chest.

Yang Chao glanced at it, and secretly said in his heart, the foreign girl really has a material.

"Where did we just go?"

After a long time, Leonie continued to ask.

Yang Chao said: "Oh, when it comes to dealing with it. ”

Leonie said, "yes, what are you going to do with this diamond?" ”

Yang Chao said: "Such a great diamond should be owned by a truly great person." ”

Leonie stopped her pen and looked at Yang Chao suspiciously: "Then you are planning to sell?" ”

Yang Chao shook his head and said, "I think in this world, only His Majesty the Emperor of Germany and Her Majesty the Queen of the British Empire are suitable to have this great diamond." ”

Leonie suddenly said, "Sir, don't you know that Her Majesty has returned to the arms of the Lord?" ”

Queen Victoria, who died on January 22, 1901, was the most powerful period in Britain during her reign, and this woman herself was also a prolific woman, he sent spouses to almost all European royal families, the German Emperor, the Russian Tsar, and the Queen of the Netherlands were all grandsons of old ladies, and other European royal families married more with the British.

When this old lady was middle-aged, she was a European mother-in-law, and when she was old, she was a European grandmother.

It can be said that this era is the era of Victoria's genetic domination, whether it is in the country or in the individual, she is the undoubted winner.

But she died.

Yang Chao couldn't help but show surprise: "Oh, oh my God! When did it happen? ”

Leonie said, "Two months ago. ”

When Yang Chao set out from China, Queen Victoria was not dead, but the ship had been at sea for more than four months, and it was already May, and the old lady had died early.

Yang Chao showed regret: "Please let me observe a three-minute silence for Her Majesty." ”

Three minutes later.

Yang Chaocai said regretfully: "It's a pity, the world is missing a great ruler, a real king and a beloved person, and the British don't know what they have lost!" Now that Her Majesty has returned to Heaven, I think this diamond should be dedicated to Her Majesty the Kaiser of Germany! ”

When Leonie heard this, she was immediately overjoyed: "You really want to present the diamond to His Majesty Emperor Wilhelm II?" ”

Yang Chao said: "That's nature. The diamond has been asked to Mr. Bernard to be identified, and if it is true, I really want to present it to His Majesty. ”

Leonie nodded, no wonder the foreign minister would take the diamond, it turned out to be for identification.

At the thought of identification, Leonie sighed, "Hope is true." ”

He replied, "It must be true!" ”

"If it's fake, I can't guarantee that I won't collapse." How can such a charming baby be a fake! ”

Yang Chao complimented the beautiful female reporter and said: "Your heart is really sentimental, just like Li Qingzhao." ”

"Who is Li Qingzhao?"

"A great female poet in Chinese history!"

"Oh, I see."

"By the way, shouldn't you go and interview His Royal Highness?"

Yang Chao looked at Zaifeng, who was bored in the hall and waiting for an interview.

The original arrangement was to interview Zaifeng first, but who knew that Leonie caught Yang Chao as soon as possible because of the influence of that diamond.

Leonie thought of her task at this time, and quickly got up to apologize and leave, and let Yang Chao kiss her hand when she left.

Early the next morning.

Bernard attacked and asked for a meeting with Wilhelm II.

Wilhelm II was still eating breakfast, and when the jewel was carefully placed on the table by Bernard, Wilhelm II was in no mood to eat.

"Is this a diamond?"

Wilhelm II questioned that he was a nobleman, much better than Bernard's vision, and that the first thing he saw was that it was a huge diamond.

Bernard smiled: "That's right, Your Majesty, a diamond, a finest diamond, the world's largest finest diamond." ”

William had already stood up: "A thousand carats? ”

Bernard smiled and groaned, "One thousand and eighty carats, Your Majesty." ”

Wilhelm II held the diamond in his hand, very hard, with his right hand, a healthy right hand.

I don't know what was going on in my mind, but my diamond arm shook, and my face was full of excitement.

"I'm going to set it in my scepter!"

Wilhelm II exclaimed.

The loud voice startled Bernard.

"Your Majesty, you haven't asked where this diamond came from?"

Bernard said depressedly.

Only then did Wilhelm II remember: "By the way, where did it come from?" ”

Bernard said: "It was brought by the Chinese." ”

Wilhelm II said: "And then? ”

Bernard said, "I'm afraid the Chinese won't be so easy to sacrifice him to you." ”

Wilhelm II snorted coldly: "It is in my hands now." It's mine. ”

His grip tightened.

Bernard sighed: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not good if you don't let the Chinese willingly." ”

Wilhelm II sneered: "So what? Can they still make trouble? A country whose capital was occupied was not in a position to negotiate terms with the German Empire. ”

Bernard regretfully handed William a newspaper, a morning newspaper he bought on the street, when the newsboy shouted the news that "the Chinese are in distress at sea and happened to have the world's largest diamond."

Wilhelm II was silent, if this matter is known to the Chinese and him, he has a hundred ways to make the Chinese suffer this dumb loss, but in the newspaper, this cannot be sealed.

Such a gem, William will never spend money to buy, too expensive jewelry, basically a game played between the royal families, give each other away, there is no price at all, the price is actually virtual, it is speculated, but it is precisely because of the royal family's enthusiasm that the price will be overestimated.

But who ever heard that the royal family would trade thousands of tons of gold for a gem?

Wilhelm knew the value of this gem, and if he did buy it, he would empty the German treasury, and he would not even want to buy it.

But he really wanted it, not to mention the intoxicating luster of this gem, the color of blood that could arouse the most powerful nature in the human heart, and it would be as if the soul would sink into it at a glance.

The reason for the world's largest diamond alone is worth owning, especially with Kaiser Wilhelm II, who aspires to make Germany the world's largest country.

"I don't care what method you use, I want to get this diamond, I have to get it!"

Wilhelm II began to wave his arms again.
