Berlin, Germany.

At the end of December 1914, whether it was the high-ranking dignitaries or ordinary civilians, almost everyone turned their attention to the English-German battle in England. If this battle is compared to a wonderful football game, then the German forward Chen Tian successfully broke into the British team's penalty area from the left shortly after the opening. The British team launched a crazy counterattack. Unfortunately, they did not threaten the defense line formed by the German navy, army and air force, but were instead hit a beautiful counterattack by veteran Hindenburg. Just halfway through the first half, the German team was already ahead 2-0.

For German fans, nothing is better than this fantastic start.

Although the British could not threaten the German team's penalty area, subtle changes were quietly taking place in the German team's penalty area. Of course, almost no one noticed all this, except Chen Tian and his assassin.

Rainy, who is tall and has a cold face, has been in the palace for a while. He does nothing but waits for the emperor's summons every day, and sees nothing. Gradually, he, a special liaison officer, will be mentioned by people only when the emperor needs to convey confidential information to Chen Tian. Usually, people rarely think about this special person, except for the guard officers, attendants and sweeping old men who always "stopped" appearing near him.

When people are unintentionally careful, Rennie will always walk around the palace as if nothing has happened. After getting familiar with Rennie's face, as long as he does not enter the special restricted area, the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guards do not care much about his seemingly habitual but boring walking, and only those strange people always follow him like shadows.

Rennie was very obedient. He never showed his intention to enter a place that was not accessible to him, including the emperor and Prince's bedroom.

After entering the darkness, no one had ever seen this special liaison officer step out of the door. In order to ensure his "safety", the commander of the Royal Guard also arranged a sentry at his door.

The German Royal Palace is naturally a place with high security. The German Royal Guard, armed by Mauser rifles, bayonets, Ruger pistols and armored vehicles, was well-trained and respected. However, their main defense targets were those sabotagers who attempted to enter the palace. They rarely monitored and inspected the people living in the palace, so no one noticed that there was a ninja figure in the palace. This was just like the thickest armor and the strongest firepower tanks can bounce rifle machine gun bullets and small-caliber anti-tank shells, but they could not avoid digging hidden pits on the road. The local methods sometimes restrain advanced weapons.

No one has ever seen the man in black in the early morning who was huge but quick. This guy walked as fast as the wind and had no sound at all. Climbing the wall and climbing the pillars was a piece of cake for him. If the commander of the Imperial Guard knew about this, he would probably fall into bed in the middle of the night in surprise, because if this person had bad intentions, the emperor's life would have been lost.

In fact, this man in black is indeed ill-behaved, but the emperor's life still needs to be kept for the time being. Once a country fluctuates in the war, the army on the front line will inevitably be greatly affected, unless the situation reaches a point of necessity.

Of course, Rennie didn't go out every night. He slept peacefully in the room every night during the first few days until he saw the strange Doctor Oriental.

The first time Renney saw the man was on a cloudy morning. After breakfast, he took a "purposeless" walk in the back garden of the palace. The emperor's back garden had many flowers, plants and trees. In the snowy winter, there was another interest here. However, William II's interest was not on the garden. He preferred to go to the square in front of the palace to parade and watch the guards change their guards. It was precisely because of his hobby that the German Royal Guard arranged several grand shifts every day. Generally speaking, the emperor often appeared there after breakfast, and naturally there were many secret guard whistles and snipers of the guards near the square. After all, it was easy to be peeped at the life of such a powerful empire.

Although ministers sometimes are summoned by the emperor in the back garden, the chances of the emperor appearing here are still very small. Since Prince Rust Beans, the queen has not been in the mood to come out to stroll. In winter, the little princesses like to stay in warm houses. Therefore, this morning, there are only two uncles who sweeping snow in the huge back garden.

Renni recognized them at a glance. The frequency of their faces was not low. Renni knew that the emperor and the Imperial Guards were not fools. They kept monitoring themselves. If they did nothing, everything would be peaceful. If they had to do something, they had to know nothing.

This happens to be the specialty of a ninja!

Although Japanese ninjas gradually declined after the age of cold weapons, many of the legendary skills were forgotten with the loss of time, which also has many similarities with Chinese kung fu. It is said that Renni's drunken master and the terrifying Nohara were the last ninjas of Koga and Iga, respectively. They were one of them poor and the other could only help others guard the house and protect the hospital. Although Renni's master only taught Renni's ninjas to drink, he trained Renni from a small foreigner to a very skilled ninja over the past ten years.

Just as Rennie was walking back and forth in the back garden under the snow, several inner court guards hurriedly passed by the corridor next to the garden with a thin old man with gray hair and beard. Rennie had been in Japan for more than ten years after all, and with Chen Tian stayed in Qingdao for half a year, he could tell from the dress of the little old man that he was a Chinese, a very traditional Chinese medicine doctor. In this era, most Chinese doctors wore wide old gowns, and the little old man was wearing this kind of clothes. A guard next to him was carrying a large square box in his hand, which seemed to be the old man's belonging to eat.

Renni did not have a deep study of Chinese medical skills, but many things in Japan were circulated in China. He had also heard of some magical effects of Chinese herbs and acupuncture, including legends such as resurrection. Renni finally understood that Chen Tian’s worries were not unfounded, and he was careful to sail the ten thousand years of ship.

After a few days of observation, Renney found that the old man would go to Prince's bedroom every morning at 8 or 9 a.m., and then he would come out under the escort of the guards at lunch. Usually he would come again at 8 or 9 p.m. This time he would leave in about half an hour to an hour.

Renni silently recorded the Chinese medicine activities. If nothing unexpected happens, the morning is the main treatment time, and the evening is a review. Unfortunately, Rennie is not easy to escape these two times. Only in the early morning when people are most tired can he have the opportunity to sneak out and stroll around freely.

There are countless secrets hidden in the palace at night, but what Renni wants to know is how the Rust Bean Crown Prince is like, and this is also what Chen Tian wants to know.

At 3 a.m. the next day, Rennie changed into night clothes in the palace for the first time. With his careful observation, he easily avoided the fixed and non-fixed patrol posts in the palace and sneaked into Prince's bedroom. However, the closer he got to Prince's room, the tighter the defense of the guards. In the end, Rennie had to return in disappointment. He didn't even see Prince when he was dispatched for the first time, but he understood the reason for the long term, so he could only continue to patiently look for opportunities.

When he returned to his room, Renni quietly observed the two sentries at the door. They kept dozing and were unaware of Rennie slipping out of the window. After all, this is the third floor, and most people don’t have much thoughts about the high windowsill.

Renni once thought about learning something from that Chinese medicine doctor, but he also knew that the emperor would definitely protect the old man. Once he contacted him, it would probably attract the attention of the emperor and the Imperial Guards, so he had to give up this method.

The second and third time Rennie tried to approach Prince's room to stop because the guards were too tightly guarded. However, it was precisely because of this extraordinary guard that Rennie felt that there were unknown secrets hidden in Prince's room, and this premonition became stronger and stronger in his heart.

In order to understand the truth, Renney decided to use some simple tricks.

On December 27, sunny, this day was the first day of the German attack on Britain. Chentian Army landed in Bonesmouth and successfully consolidated the beachhead.

At 12 o'clock in the evening, most of the Berlin residents fell asleep, and only some people who claimed to be Chentian fans were still drinking to celebrate. William II rarely involved in government affairs outside of the military (this is true in history. William II delegated all ordinary government affairs to the cabinet and government departments, and he was in charge of foreign policies and military decisions). At this time, he naturally would not review documents in his study.

After lightly passing by several patrol teams, Rennie came to the warehouse in the southwest corner of the palace. The warehouse was neither gold, silver, jewelry nor silk, nor a huge arsenal. There was a big difference between the Western palace and the Eastern palace. At least European monarchs would not raise three thousand beauties in the harem, and few people hid mountains of gold and silver in the palace. Especially in modern times, their legal property would generally be used for investment or stored in banks and vaults.

The warehouse in front of Rennie is just a place to store miscellaneous items. The so-called miscellaneous items are some things that are not used for the time being and may be useful in the future. Some are just purchased and have not had time to arrange them, and others are temporarily forgotten here by people. In short, they are all things that are not too expensive and not cheap.

The most important thing is that the wall is separated from this warehouse is Prince's bedroom.

"It's on fire..."

The patrolling guard soldiers first discovered the flames in the southwest warehouse. Since many of the flammable items were made of wood and cloth, the small fire quickly turned into a big fire. Then the blazing flames and rolling smoke gushed out from the roof of the warehouse. The royal fire brigade was quickly put into the battle to put out the fire. The officers and soldiers of the guards gathered together to help put out the fire. The alarm ringing of the fire trucks and the shouts of people filled the entire palace. Both the emperor and the residents near the palace were awakened. After confirming that Berlin had not been air strikes and there was an explosion before the fire broke out, William II looked at everyone with a bitter look on his face.

Renee's residence was located west of the palace, not too far from the fire warehouse. After the fire alarm was issued, the sentry guarding Renee's door began to knock on the door.

"Col. Colonel, it's on fire!"

After a while, seeing that there was no movement in the room, the sentry found the officer on duty. After thinking about it for a while, the officer on duty asked the sentry to open the door. However, after turning on the lights, they found Rennie lying motionless on the bed.

"Colin! Colonel!"

The officer on duty leaned over and shouted a few times, and then Rennie opened her eyes sleepyly.

"What's the matter? Why are you...why are you entering my room?"

"I'm sorry! Colonel, the palace is on fire! We came in to notify you to avoid being frightened. In addition, for everyone's safety, it's better to leave the house and go to the flat ground!" The officer on duty quickly introduced fire prevention knowledge. At this time, a gust of cold wind blew out of the window, and the temperature in the room suddenly dropped a lot.

"What? Fire... God! Okay, I understand! You guys go out first! I put on my clothes and come out, wait for me in a few minutes!" As he spoke, Rennie kept squinting in the quilt and leaving only one head outside, and his hair seemed to be messed up due to sleep.

"yes!"

Before leaving, the officer on duty carefully closed the window for Rennie, and then muttered, "Opening the window in the middle of winter will make people feel cold!"

After the sentries left, Rennie quickly took off her black night clothes and hid them. Although her daily training has not been so hard in recent years, he is still very accurate in calculating time.

Renny quickly put on his clothes and walked out of the room, "Where is the fire?"

"There!" said the officer on duty, pointing to the warehouse not far away. Although many officers and soldiers have joined the ranks of extinguishing fires, the dry winter still keeps the fire still.

"Let's go to put out the fire too! For the sake of His Majesty the Emperor, even if you show your life!" Rennie motivated the sentries around him with great enthusiasm, and then took the lead in walking towards the fire.

"Okay! Go put out the fire!" The sentries responded one after another, and the officers on duty were obviously trapped in this atmosphere of defending the emperor.

"The genius is going to put out the fire!" Rennie sneaked into the crowd halfway, and turned to the other side - Prince's bedroom!

Obviously, due to the fire, there were some small chaos in Prince's bedroom. The number of guards did not decrease much, but the order of defense and alert was not so strict. Although he was not wearing night clothes, the gray military uniform on Renney was not easily discovered in the dark.

Finally, Renny lived up to the window of Prince's bedroom. When he tried to approach this place a few times before, he found that even at night, Prince's room would not completely turn off all the lights. The lights passing through the lampshade were not so dazzling, and the whole room was under a soft light.

Lying on the big bed in the middle of the room, the focus of Rennie and Chen Tian's attention. Prince, who had fallen into a vegetative horse in the Battle of the Seine, although there was noisy outside, the guy still fell asleep motionless. Next to Prince, there were two ladies sitting. Rennie knew them. The older one was William II's wife, Prince's mother, Queen Victoria, and the younger one was Prince's wife, Austrian princess Josephine.

When Prince married Josephine, Chen Tian mistakenly thought Prince was going to steal his first love Linda. Later, he realized that it was a false alarm. Chen Tian didn't think much about it. When he gradually matured, he realized that William II chose a good marriage for his son. The crown prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Ferdinand, was an incompetent guy. Once the Austro-Hungarian Emperor passed away, the powerful Germany would likely annex Austria. When Ferdinand was assassinated, William II was overjoyed because the Austro-Hungarian Emperor had only such an heir. The old Austro-Hungarian Emperor's life was approaching. In the future, Prince would be very likely to accept the huge Austro-Hungarian Empire with justification. Unfortunately, God was not as good as others wished.

However, from this perspective alone, Prince is indeed more suitable to ascend the throne of Germany than Chen Tian, ​​which also made Chen Tian feel more regretful about missing Linda in addition to emotional reasons. Although the Austro-Hungarian Empire was decadent, the wealthy Austria was coveted by German monarchs (Austria was not incorporated into the empire when the Second German Empire was founded. There were many complicated reasons. The policy of the Iron-blooded Prime Minister Bismarck also played a great role, but Austria and Germany were closely linked. Historically, the Second Empire brought endless honors to the Germans, iron and blood, autocratic rule, and great military victory were the guarantee of this honor. Later, the Austrian Hitler and his National Socialist Party had long been a greater Germany), and Hungary was a traditional agricultural country, and it did not matter whether it was accepted or not.

It was obvious that because of the existence of the queen and the princess, Renny could not get close to Prince at this time. However, just as he was about to leave, an officer walked into Prince's room and said something to the queen. The queen looked back at Prince on the bed and nodded in to promise the officer's proposal. Then the officer waved his hand to summon two guards, and the queen slowly walked to the bed and said something to Prince on the bed.

Next, Renney saw a shocking scene. Prince actually sat up with the help of the guards. The two guards carefully put on his clothes on the left and right and stood up. Prince's movements were still a little stiff, but he was indeed taking steps by himself.

Under the light, Prince's face had a stiff expression and his eyes were dull, but it was enough to be shocking to wake up. Rennie knew very well what the scene he had seen meant. He had to report to Chentian as soon as possible and take the actions he had planned.

"Stop! Who!"

Just as Rainie was about to sneak out of Prince's palace, two guard soldiers discovered him. It was precisely because of the chaos caused by the fire that the guards' patrol became very irregular. Rainie, who had been in and out of here for several times, met these two guards who had no idea of ​​coming out of there.
