Chapter 926 Shoot at Me

Zhao Chuanxin can somewhat understand why Germany produces so many madmen.

They keep saying: the backbone of the country is not the citizens, but the nation.

They still maintain the national tradition of advocating unity at the root - the Germanic soul.

They are neither Latin nor Greek. They do not believe in foreign forms and imposed orders. They believe that only traditional customs born from the earth and nature are worthy of trust.

Such Germany naturally often clashed with France, which relied on the Roman Catholic Church and Latin culture as its pillars.

From William II to the mustache on the back, they always emphasize the pride of the Germanic nation. Does this sound familiar?

Wilhelm II often clamored: I pursue a world policy, Berlin should be a world city Berlin, German trade should be German world trade, Germany and the world have the same meaning...

This arrogant energy was later perfectly inherited by the failed art students.

It is not surprising that even Nicholas II was afraid of Zhao Chuanxin, but Wilhelm II was arrogant.

Auguste Victoria wore a black dress, which was worn on very formal occasions.

She calmed down and clasped her hands in front of her belly: "Who are you? Do we have any grudge against you?"

"You are Queen Victoria, right? In order to distinguish you from your mother-in-law, your family calls you Donna, right?" Zhao Chuanxin asked her with his gun hanging by his thigh.

August Victoria nodded nervously: "Yes, sir."

Just as Zhao Chuanxin was about to speak, he suddenly turned his head and looked outside the door. He took out another Xingyue M1908 grenade, pulled the safety cover, waited for two seconds and threw it towards the door.

The grenade hit the wall like a billiard ball, and the clear sound of it rolling on the ground could even be heard in the room.

boom……

"ah……"

Explosions and screams came at the same time.

August Victoria jumped up in fright and covered her ears.

Where has she seen this before?

Zhao Chuanxin pulled out the Renaissance-style Rococo Revival chair, sat on it, stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture: "Donna, please sit down."

August Victoria sat tremblingly opposite Zhao Chuanxin, with his legs together and his hands behind his knees, showing his dignity.

Zhao Chuanxin unbuttoned his suit, took out a box of Laodao and said, "Smoking can calm your mind. Do you want one?"

Few women smoked at this time.

Auguste Victoria, a somewhat nervous woman, shook her head no.

Zhao Chuanxin crossed his legs and said, "Donna, do you know? I've been to many places over the years, sometimes sleeping on the bed, sometimes sleeping on the roof. Before, I thought I couldn't even kill a chicken. But later I discovered that I just don't want to slaughter weak people who are slaughtered by others. However, if a strong person provokes me, I will sleep more peacefully if I kill the strong person. At that time, a violent seed was planted in my heart. It took root and sprouted silently. It spread out in countless details. It was both quiet and violent. It kept smearing and modifying it until I I have become what I am today. Yes, I am the Butcher of the Far East, Zhao Chuanxin.”

August victoria pupil earthquake.

She emphasized: "Sir, I am not a bad person. I have even been doing charity. I am the chairman of the German Red Cross Society."

"So you are not dead. I know that there is a pocket pistol in the drawer next to you. If you had picked it up just now, you would be dead now."

August Victoria couldn't be happier.

With one thought, he survived.

She asked: "Sir, you have made such a big deal, why don't you leave?"

"I told you, I'm waiting for William II."

"He went out. He learned that there was an enemy invasion, and he would not come back."

Zhao Chuanxin stood up and poked his eyes into the corner of the window.

He came back and said: "He will come back. Your husband is an arrogant fool and he will not be convinced. I came here mainly because of one of his paintings and one sentence."

August Victoria did not know what stupid things William II said or did.

Her panic calmed down for the time being, and she asked curiously: "Sir, what painting are you talking about? What words?"

Zhao Chuanxin stretched out his hand, and a painting appeared like magic.

He shook the painting away, and Auguste Victoria's eyes widened.

She finally knew why Zhao Chuanxian came here.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "Your husband threatened my daughter, saying that when she succeeds to the throne, he will invade the Netherlands and seize the city. Your husband really doesn't take me seriously."

August Victoria was even more surprised: "Who is your daughter? As far as I know, you are not even a noble in the Qing Dynasty, right?"

"My daughter is Juliana, who is also the child of Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands."

August Victoria had never heard of this, and the huge melons exploded in her head.

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin came to the window again and looked at the large number of dragoons and infantry gathered downstairs.

He bent his bow and nocked an arrow.

Whoosh!

boom!

August Victoria hurriedly covered her ears and was shocked to see Zhao Chuanxin holding the bow and arrow as if he were photographing something from a distance.

Draw the bow and shoot.

boom.

shoot.

boom.

boom!

Zhao Chuanxin shot four arrows in a row, causing heavy casualties among those below, while the rest fled in a hurry.

Zhao Chuanxin smiled back: "Don't be afraid, life is short, don't take life and death lightly, just fight if you don't accept it."

August Victoria: "..."

William II, this idiot, summoned a bad star!

...

The idiot William II actually went to Berlin Cathedral.

This church was built in recent years, on Linden Street, not far from Berlin City Palace.

The Protestant royal court church in the Renaissance style, but its luxurious Baroque style can be felt from the outside. Unlike the Gothic spires, Berlin Cathedral has three large domes.

William II first heard gunshots and explosions, and then the guards told him the situation over there.

William II was shocked, but he was furious in an instant: "Damn it, who is it, who dares to defy the world?"

Who dares to offend the arrogant William II?

Is he twisted alive?

The guard shook his head: "According to the people who escaped, it was an Asian."

William II immediately thought of Zhao Chuanxin.

He just insulted Zhao Chuanxin, and the other party came to kill him immediately?

Isn't the speed too fast?

Did it fly here?

Even a bird can't come so fast.

But William II didn't take Zhao Chuanxin seriously. He roared angrily: "Dispatch the Victoria Guards Dragoon Regiment and the First Poseidon Infantry Regiment to me. I want to kill him, damn it, I want to kill him..."

The guard said: "Your Majesty, this place is too close to the palace. Please go north to avoid the sharp edge."

"Damn Zhao Chuanxin, I want him to remember me and Germany like other Chinese. I want him to be buried here!"

"Your Majesty, you should evacuate. In addition, do you want to notify the Prime Minister?"

"Notify, and call my adjutant Hans and Field Marshal Leopold Maximian. I have to rescue Donna. She must have fallen into the hands of the thieves. If the queen is injured, I will cut Zhao Chuanxin into pieces!"

...

The Hague.

Jane Simscock is holding a secret meeting with his ministers.

They are discussing Juliana.

Jane Simscock asked, "What do you think?"

The Chancellor of the Exchequer said, "I don't think Juliana is a suitable candidate for the crown prince."

The Home Secretary shook his head, "She is the only one with the blood of the Nassau family."

"No, there must be someone else."

"But no one else is suitable."

Everyone was discussing.

At this moment, someone hurriedly reported, "Oh no, the Berlin City Palace was captured by Zhao Chuanxin!"

The ministers stood up suddenly, "What?"

Jane Simscock's head was buzzing, "Just because of the paintings sent by William II and the threat to Princess Juliana, Zhao Chuanxin captured the Berlin City Palace?"

It was simply unimaginable.

Even if Zhao Chuanxin made trouble in the United States, it was limited to New York, not Washington.

But now, he went straight to William II's lair.

It took a while for everyone to recover.

Looking at each other, they saw a trace of fear in each other's eyes.

If the result of their secret meeting today was to abolish Juliana's qualifications as the crown prince, would Zhao Chuanxin kill all these old guys in a blink of an eye?

The problem is that with Zhao Chuanxin's ability, only by filling the border with garrison soldiers can his invasion be discovered. Even if he is known to come in advance, no one can stop him.

Is Germany awesome?

Didn't they just do it?

The Minister of Finance wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "What a madman."

At this time, someone else came to report: "Flos von of the Arms Limitation Committee requests to see you, Prime Minister."

Jane Simscock said in a deep voice: "Let him in."

Flos von has basically confirmed that the Lusitania pissed the British, and it was indeed Zhao Chuanxin who did it.

He was so upset that he couldn't sleep at night.

Today he came to seek allies to criticize Zhao Chuanxin's barbarity and rudeness.

As soon as he entered the door, he found that the atmosphere was different.

He asked: "Sir, what happened?"

Jane Simscock said in a heavy tone: "Zhao Chuanxin, captured the Berlin City Palace."

"..."

Boom.

It was like a thunderclap that exploded in Frost von's mind.

He asked stupidly: "He led a troop?"

"As far as I know, there is only one of him." Jan Simskerk shook his head: "By the way, what do you want to see me for?"

Frost von said "Ah" and shook his head like a rattle: "No, nothing. Nothing, I'm leaving first..."

Jan Simskerk: "..."

Are you sick?

Frost von was frightened and fled from the scene.

...

The small square in front of the Berlin City Palace was bombed and pitted.

No German soldiers dared to come for the time being.

But don't forget, there is an entrance behind.

Zhao Chuanxin couldn't guard all the entrances and exits by himself.

He didn't want to guard it either.

He sat and chatted with August Victoria, and the queen was so anxious that she spoke up, and was afraid that Zhao Chuanxin would misunderstand that she wanted to escape, so she tried her best to explain: "I don't want to escape, really, I will cooperate with you."

"It doesn't matter if you run away, I'm not holding you hostage." Zhao Chuanxin shrugged and said.

"..."

This hurt August Victoria.

She went to the toilet, thought about it, and tentatively moved towards the stairs, but there was no movement.

If she was a little braver, she would have reached the stairs.

Suddenly, there was a sound of metal hitting metal at the top of the stairs.

The hair on the back of August Victoria's hands stood up, and he turned around and ran back: "Don't kill me, don't kill me..."

Until she ran back to the room where Zhao Chuanxin was staying, and saw Zhao Chuanxin with his legs on the table, looking at her in astonishment.

August Victoria: “…”

Who was that person just now?

Of course they were reinforcements, she just needed to be bolder to escape.

She missed freedom.

The German soldier whose gun barrel collided with the stair railing was scolded by the sergeant.

The German soldier was not very convinced: "On the battlefield, tension is inevitable."

The main reason for the scarcity of non-commissioned officers in Germany is this. They do not get the respect they deserve, their salaries are not high, and they have no hope of promotion.

On the other side, Zhao Chuanxin closed the window and filled the room with cold wind. He also took out a coat and put it on August Victoria: "Oh, look, you're freezing."

August Victoria couldn't say whether she was annoyed, regretful, or grateful.

But she finally felt at ease, knowing that Zhao Chuanxin did not lie to her and did not want to hold her hostage.

She couldn't help but said: "Sir, listen to my advice and leave quickly, otherwise it will be too late. William has a bad temper. He will send a large army to surround this place, and you will not be able to escape by then."

Whether this was an unintentional remark out of self-protection or a sincere persuasion, Auguste Victoria could not tell.

She was also a princess and a cousin of William II.

European royal families are always related to each other, and marriages between close relatives are common.

For example, her maternal grandmother is a half-sister to William II's maternal grandmother, the Queen of England.

Therefore, August Victoria has also seen the world.

Zhao Chuanxin pressed the bullet into the empty magazine: "You made a mistake. The person who should be afraid is not me, but your husband, haha."

After filling the bullets, Zhao Chuanxin took out the Xingyue M1909 light machine, loaded the ammunition box, and said to August Victoria with a cigar in his mouth: "Madam, you have to understand that being grumpy does not mean being brave. Today you I'm lucky to have seen what a real man is."

After saying that, he came to the door, leaned on the door frame, and waited with guns in both hands.

Soon, someone appeared at the top of the stairs.

Ta Ta Ta...

The gunshot was not very loud, but it was more obvious than the sound of a pistol. Zhao Chuanxin's ears were filled with ecstasy.

"ah……"

Light machine guns and screams sounded at the same time.

The wall covering at the corner of the stairs peeled off and spattered, causing damage to the stairs as well.

Those flying fragments can also hurt people.

Of course August Victoria could hear it.

She turned to look at Zhao Chuanxin and saw that he was as motionless as a statue, with only cigar smoke rising.

His face was calm and fearless.

Bullet casings rolled on the floor tiles, and smoke billowed from the muzzles of the guns.

Zhao Chuanxin's hands were as steady as a mountain.

What is a tough guy? This is what a tough guy is.

There was someone over there who didn't believe in evil and quickly poked his head in.

Ta Ta Ta...

"ah……"

Zhao Chuanxin's reaction speed may have been engraved in his genes.

"Listen, I advise you to surrender. A dragoon regiment and an infantry regiment are coming. You can't run away. If you are captured at this time, you will suffer less."

Awesome.

Zhao Chuanxin said to August Victoria: "Don't go out. Bullets have no eyes on the battlefield and it is easy to die."

August Victoria asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Obviously they don't realize the seriousness of the matter and I have to teach them a lesson."

After saying that, Zhao Chuanxin walked forward with his gun in hand.

He did not tiptoe, and his leather boots collided with the floor tiles, making a crisp sound.

All the soldiers at the stairway suddenly had sweat pouring from their foreheads.

"He's coming, he's coming, get ready..."

"Fight him, let's go out at the same time..."

"No, let's wait for him to come over and retreat to the corner to ambush."

Zhao Chuanxin heard the sound of retreating.

In fact, he knew the opponent's movements very well.

He held the gun in his left hand and took out the Xingyue M1908 grenade in his right hand. He bit off the ring with his teeth, waited for two seconds and threw it down the stairs.

boom……

Tata Tata...

Zhao Chuanxin stepped down the steps calmly, and the German soldiers below covered their heads and ran away.

Zhao Chuanxin just explained how they came up and how they were driven down step by step.

The Xingyue M1909 light machine had no jams or malfunctions, and its 100-round ammunition life allowed him to use it as much as he wanted.

Suddenly he turned off the gun, quickly grabbed the throwing knife and threw it backwards. The wrist of the not dead man behind him was cut off just as he touched the rifle.

Whoosh...

When the flying knife flew back, the corners of the man's mouth were opened, and blood flowed profusely.

"ah……"

Three injuries.

Zhao Chuanxin stepped back from the ammunition box and took a quick look. He estimated that there were twenty or thirty rounds of ammunition left, so he stopped walking and turned around to go upstairs.

August Victoria hasn't run away yet.

"Since you haven't left yet, come and help me reload the ammunition." Zhao Chuanxin took out a pile of bullets and taught her how to operate them.

Auguste Victoria couldn't say anything to refute, she thought to herself: I loaded the ammunition myself to slaughter our soldiers.

But what else can she do as a queen who does charity every day?

Thinking this way did not alleviate her guilt.

August Victoria said: "Sir, I can see that you are an expert in the use of weapons."

"Haha, it's not me who uses weapons, it's the various weapons that kidnapped me." Zhao Chuanxin said: "I have thought about getting rid of killing many times, but the various weapons that kidnapped me made me unable to get rid of violence in my heart."

"Why don't you surrender?"

"Why don't you let them surrender? As the saying goes, put down the butcher knife and die on the spot."

"..."

Sure enough, as the German soldiers who came to rescue said before, William II gathered the Royal Guards Dragoon Regiment and the Infantry Regiment outside, and surrounded the Berlin City Palace.

At this time, someone shouted downstairs: "Zhao Chuanxin, listen, the person speaking is Hans von Plessen. I am the adjutant of the German Emperor. What I say now represents the will of the German Emperor."

Zhao Chuanxin didn't care about the noise below. He saw a phonograph and a pile of records in the room.

The phonograph was invented by Edison, and he mailed one to Li Hongzhang.

He screened through the records, finally picked one and installed it, and put down the tonearm and head.

"Canon" recorded in the record sounded from the speaker.

Zhao Chuanxin opened the window and jumped onto the windowsill. The cold wind blew up his clothes.

He hadn't heard this piece of music for a long time. The clever canon counterpoint, the melody shared by different voices, and the magical changes of the starting scale. Although Zhao Chuanxin watched Hans von Plessen's mouth below him constantly closing, he was listening to music.

He smiled slightly. The performance of this piece of music at this time was far less exciting than that of later generations.

It is said that when Pachelbel composed this piece, he did not take it seriously. It was not even a show of skill. It was just a casual fabrication, but it became a classic.

Zhao Chuanxin liked skilled craftsmen in various fields and liked to watch their pretentious performances.

He once thought that he could also become a painter, carpenter, jeweler, etc.

He yearned for the perfect skills, wanted to feel the bridge to the sky from the clouds and smoke at the bottom of the painting, wanted to dig out the pinnacle of decoration with the axe and chisel, and wanted to rely on fire forging and engraving to inlay the world's most refined art.

However, he never expected that his masterpiece was - killing.

Downstairs, Hans von Plessen was talking nonstop.

But as he was talking, he felt something was wrong.

He noticed that all the soldiers looked up, and when he looked up, he saw Zhao Chuanxin standing on the window sill, his eyelids drooping, his gun as a baton, immersed in the music.

The "Canon" floating out of the window just reached its climax.

Hans von Plessen's nose was almost crooked with anger.

He pointed at Zhao Chuanxin and shouted: "If you don't surrender, we will launch a strong attack!"

When the song ended, Zhao Chuanxin opened his eyes and laughed: "Stop talking nonsense, shoot at me if you dare!"
