The second more

On this trip to Berlin, Napoleon was accompanied by Minister Dekaz. He also secretly increased the number of escorts to ensure that Napoleon would not be threatened by any person.

It was the first time Napoleon had set foot in Berlin, and he had only been to London once since he came out of Les Invalides, and that was at the time of the signing of the treaty.

By this time, his opponent had changed from Bismarck to Ron, and he seemed to be a more harmless Imperial Prime Minister. But Napoleon did not let his guard down, Bismarck was more resolute than he knew how to maneuver, and Ron seemed to be better able to overcome this shortcoming.

If it weren't for the unhappy ending of the quarrel between the two sides, I'm afraid that Ron, Bismarck and Moltke would still be the best combination in Germany.

As soon as they got off the train, Prime Minister Ron was in charge of receiving them. But Napoleon noticed a certain detail, since getting off the train, the German escort was heavily guarded throughout the whole process, from the platform to the train station, there were soldiers, not a single civilian was present. The heavily armed soldiers gave Napoleon a premonition of unease.

It feels like they are very concerned about the safety of the French negotiating delegation. The last time he set foot in London, Napoleon did not have such a grand treatment.

"Chancellor Ron, the security work on the German side is doing a good job, and it is very watertight compared to the security work in London. Is this because of the annual assassination crisis in Germany, or is it the case with the entire social environment in Germany? I'm afraid I won't even enjoy this kind of treatment in Paris, France. ”

Napoleon quipped, "When the leaders of other countries set foot here in Berlin in the future, do they need to be prepared to write suicide notes?" ”

"After all, after so many years of struggle between the two sides, it is inevitable that some radical elements will haunt them, and it is not wrong to be heavily guarded. At present, there are still many voices opposing the armistice. And these people are often the most radical, so we must be the most prepared for the personal safety of His Excellency Napoleon. Lest the heads of state of the other countries visited die in Berlin without knowing what to do, we will have to have a headache to discuss the aftermath. ”

Ron's answer was exquisite, a polite statement that was half explained and half threatening, so that the corners of Napoleon's mouth couldn't help but outline an arc.

It seems that his conjecture was correct, and Ron put a lot of effort into this meeting, not only because of his own appearance, but also because of the unstable factors hidden in Germany that could carry out an assassination operation at any time. Of course, Ron was the number one target, and Napoleon was the number two target. But there are exceptions to everything, and no one can say for sure.

"So what exactly is this war in the eyes of Lord Ron?"

Napoleon relentlessly said, "Germany started the war with a single word, and then ended the war without saying a word, trying to make peace with Paris." Do you think of war as a game? If I had an accident in this meeting, what do you think would have become of the relationship between the two countries? An undying feud? ”

Ron paused in his footsteps, and he did not answer Napoleon's question directly. Instead, make a gesture of please.

"Get in the car, Your Excellency President Napoleon, and we'll talk about the rest of the questions when we get to our destination. Our purpose today is peace, not to stir up strife. ”

Ron did not ride in the same carriage as Napoleon, and when he got into the carriage, Minister Dekaz, who was sitting next to Napoleon, finally spoke. His expression was a little uneasy, and even his lips began to white.

"Something wasn't right, and I felt like Ron was hiding something. But he didn't say it. ”

Minister Dekaz said uneasily, "I always feel that what to say...... As if some covert operation was being carried out. ”

In contrast to Dekaz's uneasiness, Napoleon's calm expression did not seem to care about everything around him.

"It's certainly not a simple negotiation, and Ron's political opponents may be trying to mess it up." That's why he's acting absent-minded, but no matter what happens, they'll reveal their true purpose later, and it's a very interesting political battle. We just have to take care of ourselves, and the rest is a personal vendetta between them. Private grievances are something that they let them settle in private, and outsiders are not qualified to get involved. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, I'm just a little uneasy."

The carriage headed in the direction of the Royal Palace in Berlin, and King Wilhelm had chosen to negotiate in his main conference room. At this time, the square at the entrance of the palace was already on guard, dispersing the idle people, etc., and in order to ensure safety, Ron raised the vigilance to the highest level.

When Napoleon got out of the car, he saw a very surprised face in the crowd. Although in the eyes of others, this face is no different from the public, but those who are familiar with history will not forget that face.

He paused for a moment, then his expression was calm as ever, and he continued walking.

However, Ron still left out small details, and if it was a high-ranking officer who carried out the assassination, then none of this is true.

Before Ron knew it, a pair of hateful eyes were staring at them through the crowd.

With a loaded revolver in his arms, Mackensen prepared to strike Napoleon and Ron as they passed by him, killing the top leaders of Germany and France in one fell swoop.

The carriage stopped thirty meters in front of him, and Napoleon and Ron walked down laughing and talking.

This distance is a bit far, he is not sure that he will shoot, and he still needs the other party to continue to get closer before he has a real chance to attack.

At this time, a cold sweat broke out on the tip of his nose, his hand slowly rubbed against his waist, and every time the other party approached him, the unbearable excitement in his heart increased a little, this was the moment that changed the fate of German history, if Napoleon Bonaparte and Ron died at the same time at the mouth of his own gun, he was bound to become the greatest man in Germany.

He will save the country, and even if he dies, he will be led into Valhalla by the Valkyries.

Five steps.

Looking at Napoleon, who was talking and laughing, his thumb clasped on the cold hammer, and then gently turned on the death switch, Mackensen's throat rolled slightly, and his left hand trembled slightly. He tried his best to keep his composure, but the sweat on his head betrayed him. He couldn't calm down at such moments.

Four steps.

Mackenson's entire hand was already gripping the grip, and his arm was dangling unnaturally, trying to cover the pistol at his waist. At this moment, Napoleon's gaze turned to him, and he rested on him for a moment, while frowning slightly.

At that moment, Mackensen's heart almost stopped, and he glanced elsewhere in a panic.

Mackensen thought that the other party had sensed his intentions, and even wanted to draw his gun in advance to break the net, but Napoleon only stayed for a very short moment and skipped past him.

Three steps.

He was closer to his goal, and the noise in the square had disappeared, and Mackenson could hear his own heartbeat and the whispers of conversation between the two sides.

Mackenson breathed a sigh of relief, by this time the revolver had been halfway out of his hand, his index finger on the trigger, ready to pull out his pistol and shoot at the two men at any moment. Even in my heart, I thought countless times that the assassination would definitely succeed.

The assassination will definitely succeed.

Two steps.

Undistracted, Mackenson struck, pulling a pistol from his waist and aiming it at Ron's head.

A man suddenly burst out of the line of welcoming soldiers, and he raised his pistol at Ron, but Napoleon, who was already on guard, pushed Ron away and shouted loudly.

"Be careful!"

With a sharp and piercing gunshot, everyone around them was in a mess. Mackensen's shot missed, and instead of hitting Prime Minister Ron, it hit Foreign Minister Dekaz in the shoulder, who was standing behind, and as blood splattered, he fell backwards and fell, his life and death unknown.

"There are assassins!"

Ron shouted loudly and beckoned the guards to protect his evacuation, leaving Napoleon alone.

The others were immediately panicked, and even Ron subconsciously ran back. Mackensen shot in the direction of Ron's escape, and the crowd panicked, blocking between him and Ron.

Mackensen fired five bullets in a row without hitting the target, and watched as the opponent ran farther and farther.

He thought about it for a moment, and finally gave up on taking advantage of the chaos to get out, and was ready to catch up and make up for another shot.

At this time, Mackensen's attention was so engrossed in Ron that he even forgot that he had a Napoleon waiting for an opportunity.

The French president did not back down and behaved much more heroically than Ron. And Napoleon had been assassinated more than anyone else had ever drunk coffee, so he was more experienced in dealing with such situations.

Napoleon snatched the bayonet of the guard of honor, hunched his waist, and stabbed in the direction of Mackensen.

Try to kill with one hit.

With all his attention on Ron, Mackensen felt a tingling pain in his calf, and when he turned around, he found that his leg had been pierced by a bayonet, and warm blood was pouring out, and his expression flashed with surprise, and the initiator was none other than Napoleon, the enemy of Germany.

"Die!"

Mackensen turned his gun on Napoleon and prepared to make a hole in his head.

However, when he pulled the trigger, he did not hear the gunpowder igniting and exploding, only the crisp sound of the firing pin hitting the primer.

Mackensen panicked, and the pistol malfunctioned at a critical moment.

Napoleon smiled at him and said in German, "I'm sorry, you've fired six bullets." ”

"There are no bullets in your nest now."

Napoleon clenched his bayonet tightly and did not let go, he sneered and said, "Do you still have a chance to escape now?" ”
