In the tavern outside Wilhelmshaven, Xue ordered a bitter beer, chatted with Lenin without a word, and asked the bartender about the port from time to time, his face full of anxiety. ※※※※※ I ※ I ※ ※

Lenin knew that Xue was a rubber merchant, and his business was not very large, but for some reason the price of rubber had skyrocketed in recent years, so his value had also soared, and the two of them came here this time to collect a batch of raw rubber shipped from Luzon" but did not expect to find that after arriving, the entire Wilhelmshaven had been closed, and even the civilian wharf had not been missed.

After questioning the soldiers, it turned out that Li Mo was about to come here to participate in the ceremony of handing over the warship, and Xue became more and more worried, because according to him, this batch of raw rubber was smuggled goods secretly transported from Luzon and Borneo, and if it was discovered, it would affect his partners in China, and he had already contacted the buyer, as long as he sold this batch of goods, he could make up enough cash for Lenin's needs, but he did not expect to be delayed.

This scene fell in the eyes of Lenin, not only did he not feel no, but he smiled deeply.

He comforted Xue and reminded him that this was Germany, and Li Mo had no right to investigate smuggling here, not to mention that he was really interested in the young emperor who had occupied the front pages of various European newspapers in the past few days.

In desperation, Xue could only patiently stay in this tavern and wait for the port. Reopening.

Lenin ignored Xue's complaints, and when he saw him nagging the bartender, he smiled and turned to pick up a copy of today's Rheinische Zeitung, on which the full text of Li Mo's impromptu speech in front of the monument aroused his interest, especially the latter sentence, "I brought an olive branch, please don't let it be discarded......" aroused his curiosity.

The phrase "we have been neglected...... expresses the bitterness of those backward countries, and when Europe is enjoying the wealth and happiness brought by colonization, who can imagine how many countries are suffering.

While the British gentlemen sat in coffee houses and drank afternoon tea, they shipped boxes of opium to all parts of the world, and when they took their female companions to go on a trip, their warships were bombarding the people of the world who had been tortured by opium.

Now Naomu "they are still waging a war for gold and diamonds in Africa, and they don't care about the life and death of the people" just want to get the wealth with blood.

Although Russia is also a European power, in the eyes of the mainstream countries of Britain and France, "Russia has always been on the edge of geopolitics, but the brutal Nicholas II did not notice this, and is still living in the sweet dream of imperial hegemony, vainly trying to destroy the newborn China with war and devour the fertile land of the Far East" For this goal, he even ignored the life and death of the Russian people.

In order to avenge Li Mo's revenge for destroying the Far Eastern Fleet, he did not hesitate to borrow money from France, "but he refused to take out even a single gold coin from his private coffers, but passed it on to the poor people, and imposed high war taxes."

Lenin sighed, he only hoped that when he got the money and returned to China, he would be able to contact as many like-minded people as possible to "overthrow the evil tsarist regime together, and then reach an agreement with Limer to end the endless war" in exchange for peace between Russia and China.

"Delrins, are you crazy?" Just as he was about to read the next page to see how German commentators were analyzing the Sino-German friendship agreement that had just been reached, a voice suddenly caught his attention.

Because the other party spoke a relatively awkward little Polish, if it weren't for the fact that he happened to have a few Polish friends, it might be difficult to understand what they were saying.

Following the sound, I saw two young men talking quietly in the corner, although the voice was very soft, but since it was the afternoon when there were few people in the tavern, some could still be heard.

"Orr, I'm not crazy, I'm willing to sacrifice everything, even my life, for our Poland......" The young man sitting on the side, who could only see one side of his face, had just finished speaking" Lenin had already frowned violently.

The boy, who spoke Little Polish, didn't seem to notice that someone was eavesdropping on them, and continued: "But Delins" Even if you succeed in assassinating Li Mo, what is the use? Could it be that the tyrannical Nicholas II would have abdicated the throne because of Limer's death? Let Poland ** ......"

Before Delins could reply, "Lenin must have opened his mouth wide." ※※※※※I want to ※※※ net ※ (5) ※ (1) ※ Ο※ ΝΕΤ※※ "Assassinate Li Mo?! They want to assassinate Li Mo! Why did ...... Lenin subconsciously glanced at Xue next to him, but found that he was still talking to the bartender, and did not notice this, and was thinking about whether to remind him, when he heard the young man named Derins continue: "No, Orr. Delins shook his head, looked around vigilantly and said: "Nikolai will not be martyred for Li Mo, but now the whole world knows that the war between Russia and China is inevitable, if I can blame Russia" Then the Chinese will definitely attack Russia desperately, so that we can win the best opportunity for Poland......"

"But ........."

"No, but ......" Delins looked like a stubborn fellow, and stood up without allowing his partner to speak: "For the sake of my homeland" I must take a risk "And we have a second way to stop Poland from the brutal tsarism, let the people breathe freely, and let the landless enjoy life......" After saying that, he walked out of the tavern himself without waiting for his partner.

Seeing his companion leaving, Lenin didn't have time to react at all, he felt that someone had been pushed on the shoulder, and when he turned his head and saw that Xue was already standing behind him, Zhou asked: "V.S. Ladimir, what are you looking at?" I've called you a few times, you know them.

"No, I don't know, I don't know......" Lenin waved his hand, and he didn't know if he should tell Xue Gang about it, and swallowed it back several times.

Seeing Lenin's appearance, Xue smiled in his heart and pretended to be anxious: "Vladimir, the bartender said that he could help me contact the owner of the dock, and I will go to see him now" See if you can drive the ship to another dock to unload, you wait for me here, I will bring all the money to ......"

"Xue, actually......" As soon as Lenin spoke, Xue couldn't wait to follow the bartender out of the tavern and look at his back, "He can only continue to wait."

Maybe those two young people are just talking about laughter?

Lenin denied his answer very much in his heart, and suddenly there was a rush of running sound outside the tavern that woke him up, and when he walked out of the tavern, a bright red flag color suddenly made his pupils shrink suddenly, that Li Mo is here!

Several chic sedans came from a distance, "The front of the sedan was planted with a good book city tidying up~ A Chinese and German flag, a small group of cavalry protected the convoy on the left and right, and the soldiers used their bodies to separate the crowd of onlookers next to them.

Boos and cheers accompanied by wheels rang out from every part of the street, looking at the young figure waving in the car window: "Lenin wanted to go in like this and have a good talk with him, but he knew that if he went in so recklessly, he was afraid that he would be immediately beaten by the soldiers around him."

He is not reckless, but it does not mean that others are not reckless, when he was looking at Li Mo through the car window, a scream suddenly sounded next to him, only to see a figure not far away like a frightened war horse, suddenly pulled away the two soldiers in isolation, rushed to the convoy, sharp-eyed Lenin immediately recognized the figure, it was the young man named Delins who had just walked out of the tavern!

He is really here, and he really wants to assassinate Li Mo!

Before Lenin's eyes widened, he saw that the young man had already pulled out a Russian-made pistol, and just as he was about to shoot at the car, a large hand suddenly reached out in front of him, and he jerked the butt of the rifle up!

Bang!

A piercing gunshot shattered the joyful atmosphere of Wilhelmshaven, and the horses on which the cavalry sat suddenly raised their hooves and neighed, "The guards and warriors around were also pale with fright."

Everyone knows that "if something happens to Li Mo here", then I'm afraid they will all be executed!

Countless figures began to rush towards the young man, and the car that Li Mo was in was tightly blocked by the black-clothed man who came out of nowhere, "But I don't know if it's because of the rustiness or other reasons" Li Mo's guards and the German soldiers actually crowded together, making a mess, and then watched the young man get into the crowd again.

After seeing the car window peeking through the cracks, "Li Mo was still intact, Lenin's clenched fist quietly loosened a lot, but for some reason he was a little disappointed in his heart" After thinking about it, he quietly followed the chaotic crowd and left the scene.

But he didn't see that "when he turned around, his patron Xue actually got out of the car that Li Mo was riding" and then disappeared into the chaotic crowd with the bartender.

Delins ran in a flailing, followed by the sound of increasingly dense footsteps, "But the narrow German-style streets drove him crazy, and he saw that the alleys were getting narrower and narrower, and he didn't know where to continue running" A large hand reached out from the side, pulling him closer to a wall.

Delins was so frightened that he was about to raise his gun when he saw a smiling face appear in front of him: "My name is Vladimir, I have no malicious ......"

"Vladimir? You're a Russian......" Derins turned pale as he held his gun, and it seemed that it would be better for him to fall into the hands of the Russians than to die at the hands of Li Mo's bodyguards.

"I'm Russian" but I'm a different Russian "I love Poland......" Lenin tried to keep smiling and wanted to keep talking" Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside, and he hurriedly made a silent gesture and whispered: "Let's go, I'm here to save you, please trust me."

Delins held up his gun and still didn't seem to believe it, but the sound of footsteps outside forced him to make a decision, and then he gritted his teeth, put away his gun, and followed Lenin into the small door.

But no one noticed that when he walked through the small door, he suddenly took out a white pen from his sleeve and flew on the small door twice.

After a while, Xue walked to the door with several men, looking at the lines that looked like children's graffiti, and the corners of his mouth suddenly hooked up a bright smile.

When Li Mo actually arrived in Wilhelmshaven, the news of the attack began to spread rapidly around Wilhelmshaven, "although even if it was stopped by the guards", it really startled the German officials waiting at the dock, including Tirpitz, but fortunately, when the convoy drove into the dock under heavy protection, Li Mo walked out with a smile on his face and intact, which made them breathe a sigh of relief.

Although he was anxious, Tirpitz politely proposed to rest for a few days before handing over, but Li Mo waved his hand and said that it was okay, and insisted on holding a handover ceremony for the warship today.

Since Li Mo himself said that it was okay, Tirpitz and other officials were not easy to insist.

Half an hour later, when the huge figure of the Chinese ship, which had been wandering in the open sea, which had made the German Navy extremely slanderous but unable to get close, arrived at Wilhelmshaven and approached the No. 1 pier that had been prepared long ago, "the German naval officers and sailors in charge of receiving them were all straight-eyed, they were obviously stunned by such a heavy battleship with ten main guns, and they never thought that one day the battleship would have so many main guns!"

When the handover ceremony was over, "the battleship was renamed the Rhine, and the German naval officers and sailors who had been drooling for a long time rushed into the Rhine, hoping to get acquainted with this powerful warship as soon as possible!"

On the contrary, the officers and men of the Chinese Navy who completed the handover of the ship "began to happily begin to move boxes of gold into the cabin of the Oriental Princess, which was docked at the same time, and Master Li's choice of gold settlement not only conformed to the characteristics of the gold standard era" was to make everyone feel the huge profits brought by the sale of high-tech and high-value-added goods.

When Limer set off again the next day from Wilhelmshaven on the Oriental Princess, the news that the German Navy had officially taken over the Rhine caused a sensation throughout Europe, although the Ottoman Empire also ordered the same warship, but it would be delivered in at least two years, which made the Rhine traverse the Atlantic for at least two years!

The German Navy, which was already expanding rapidly, got a qualitative leap because of the Rhine, "the important thing is that they not only got a capital ship that has been completely tested, but also experienced a low-intensity naval battle" and "can be immediately put into real combat", but also got the complete drawings and all the technology of this warship!

While Limmer continued his trip to Europe, the Germans began full testing as soon as they received the drawings brought with them, and the ambitious Wilhelm II and Tirpitz "passed the second naval bill in parliament with lightning speed, paving the way for the full start of construction of the Rhine."

When the news spread across the Atlantic along the telephone lines, even the assassination outside Wilhelmshaven was drowned out, and no one cared who was going to kill Limer, "and Britain was the first to react strongly" so much that Limer arrived in England for a visit, and was even met with a strong protest when he spoke in the House of Commons.

The gentlemen of the British Empire, at last, began to realize the magnitude of the crisis posed by the Rhine, "because they had searched through the entire vast Imperial Admiralty" and could not find a single capital ship comparable to it.

Under the pressure of reality, Prime Minister Salisbury personally went out to negotiate with Li Mo, and Tang Shaoyi also put forward a timely proposal for Britain to fully withdraw its troops from southeast China, stop supporting the southeast mutual insurance agreement, and at the same time support many conditions for China's reunification.

Of course, Britain would not agree to these demands, "because to do so would be to give up all interests in the Far East, and a mere Rhine would not be enough to bring the British Empire to its knees!"

Although the negotiations were not immediately terminated, no one knew when an agreement would be reached, and even when Limer arrived in New York a month later, there was no breakthrough, in which case Britain began to increase its technical research "in an attempt to solve the problem of naval gun recoil as soon as possible" while continuing to maintain negotiations "hoping to pry Limer's mouth open, and at the same time accelerating the construction of existing battleships" in an effort to overwhelm the technical barriers brought by the Rheinland with numerical superiority.

Just as the fear caused by the appearance of dreadnoughts in history, "a Rhine also caused complete chaos in Europe", every country is secretly worried, because they find that the capital ship they used to build with great money has become useless in front of it!

At a time when Europe was restless because of the Rhine, the rest of the world was quietly changing, and after the United States and Cuba reached an agreement to recognize the Cuban regime, they finally began to withdraw from the Caribbean pearl island country one after another.

For the Americans, it was a failed military operation, and although they got Puerto Rico, they did not take full control of Cuba, but instead suffered countless casualties and lost more than they gained.

This war, like a fierce stick, made the United States have to re-examine its foreign policy, and when they began to reflect, they were disturbed by the appearance of the Rhine, the United States, which was not as skilled as Europe, was completely confused by the Rhine, and then had to start the construction of five Fordinia-class ships in a hurry, learning from Britain's hope of suppressing potential opponents by numbers.

At the same time, the largest Aboriginal riots in Australia's history broke out, with thousands of Aboriginal people storming the enclaves, killing the whites who had seized their land and wealth, and even completely bloodbathing the town of Darwin, which has more than 2,000 inhabitants.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, Australia did not have any army at all, only some improvised militias" plus Britain was busy dealing with the crisis after the emergence of the Bull and the Rhine, and there was no way to withdraw troops, not to mention that Britain was very dissatisfied with Australia's autonomy, and only provided a batch of weapons after learning the news, and let Australia solve it by itself.

In the face of blood, the Australian states could only temporarily put aside the matter of merger and concentrate on dealing with those natives first, and these natives seemed to have become more unruly under the stimulation of blood, killing not only hundreds of people, but also dozens of Chinese hired workers.

Since the mines and factories were located in the east and west, and there was a serious threat from the natives, several large conglomerates, including Thomas Mining, negotiated with the Australian government and eventually allowed their own security teams to protect their property in Australia.

No one noticed that the world seemed to be stirred up by the storm after the appearance of the Rhine.
