Servant... Servant...

When the flash was shining, William II, who had been ruling the German Empire for twenty-six years and had reached its peak in both the empire and personal reputation, never expected that this would be the last time he took a photo in his life.

Important figures attending the New Year's dinner include Imperial Prime Minister Bernhardt von Biellow, Navy Minister Navy Marshal Alfred von Tilpiz, Army Secretary General Erich von Falkenhein and a group of cabinet ministers. In addition to generals fighting in Britain, other senior army and naval generals were basically invited to attend.

In addition, Austro-Hungary, Russia, Turkey and other allies also sent princes or special envoys to attend, and many neutral countries also sent envoys. The scene of this dinner alone shows the influence of this monarchical empire at this moment.

In the first year after the war, Germany achieved amazing and amazing achievements. William II was naturally full of spring, but he was not the one who laughed to the end.

With the rise of white smoke, the flash of the flash stimulated everyone's eyes, except for one person...

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Amid Prime Minister Bilo's extremely frightened shout, William II rolled down helplessly as if he had been drained of all his strength. He covered his neck with his right hand and stared blankly at the front. No matter how the people around him call, the look never changed at all.

surprise!

panic!

There were no signs in advance, no gunfire sounds, no fighting or struggle in the hall, and the guards did not notice anything abnormal. Everyone who witnessed the emperor's fall was stunned. Dozens of ladies immediately screamed and fainted when they saw this scene. This high decibel sound caused a commotion in the hall.

This is the center of the empire, Berlin, protected by elite guards, and the heavily guarded palace. Everyone entering the banquet hall has undergone strict inspections to ensure that nothing will threaten the safety of the politicians. In addition, the agile close servants beside the emperor, in people's eyes, if they want to assassinate the emperor here, it would be harder than climbing to heaven.

The 55-year-old emperor is in good health. In the eyes of doctors, he can live for at least twenty or thirty years, and there is almost no possibility of a sudden heart disease. However, the ruler of the empire fell silently here.

The ministers next to him hurriedly supported the emperor who was about to fall, and the nearby servants surrounded him. The entire hall was extremely quiet in the next moment. People could only hear the ministers and guards next to the emperor shouting anxiously "Your Majesty" and the dense footsteps coming from behind later.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

The guards waiting around the hall rushed over to hear the news and quickly separated the emperor from everyone. Except for three and four close servants and ministers such as Bilo, Tirpiz, the others could only look at the emperor who was lying on the ground from afar through the guard soldiers.

Not far from the emperor, a tall officer showed a satisfied and contemptuous smile on his lips, and then disappeared into the confused crowd.

Soon, the emperor's special doctor appeared in the hall. After a brief and careful examination, these most outstanding German doctors shook their heads helplessly and sadly. The emperor had stopped breathing and that noble heart no longer beat.

The emperor is dead!

After the doctors removed the emperor's right hand, people found a small logo-shaped metal piece embedded in the emperor's neck.

The commander of the Imperial Guard, a general with a sharp-eyed and sharp-eyed eagle and aged 40, stood up. He looked around the people with different expressions around him, and then ordered to his soldiers:

"Closed the hall! No one is allowed to leave here!"

Everyone present suddenly felt a stir. People knew very well what this order meant. You should know that the emperor of the most powerful empire in the world is now falling. Regardless of the cause and process of this incident tonight, its impact is definitely no less than that of the strongest earthquake.

The sound of gun bolts quickly sounded in the hall. The soldiers knew very well how noble and important the people here were, but they still faithfully carried out the commander's orders. After a while, they blocked the hall tightly with rifles and bayonets.

Tirpiz and Falkenhein looked at each other, and in addition to the gloomy eyes, there were many other complex things.

The doctors were still surrounded by the emperor, but the emperor was dead, and the fate of the empire would take a turn here.

"Martyr Tilpiz, General Falkenhein, General Graf, the situation is serious. I think we should discuss what to do next?" Prime Minister Bilo said with a sad expression. The current situation is quite complicated. It is an indisputable fact that the emperor was assassinated and died. Here Bilo is the highest government official, Tilpiz is the highest military officer, Falkenhein is the highest military officer, and Graf is the commander of the Imperial Guard here. The Imperial Guard is not under the control of the navy or army. More importantly, this is the imperial palace in Berlin, and the Imperial Guard is responsible for defending the area.

When dealing with such emergencies, the decision-making power and command power seem quite subtle.

Tirpidz, Falkenhein and Graf followed Bilom and silently walked aside. After the four of them exchanged gazes, General Graf took the lead in speaking.

"Prime Minister, Marshal, General!" Graf paid tribute to the other three, "Before, my duty was to ensure the safety of Your Majesty, but I was dereliction of duty. After this matter was over, I will ask for the punishment I deserve. Now that Your Majesty is suffering from misfortune, my duty is to find the murderer! Before the matter is revealed, everyone here is suspicious! As for the reaction and handling of the government and the army, it is not my power!"

Bilo nodded, then looked at Tilpiz and Falkenhein.

Tilpiz looked back at William II, who was still lying on the ground, and then sighed deeply, "I can't believe it's true until now! How I wish I had just had a nightmare!"

Falkenhein was thinking silently.

"For the time being, all news is blocked, and no one is allowed to leave the palace. Secretly call His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and ask him to hurry back to Berlin!" Bilo made a decision with a sad face. He knew very well that William II was extremely important to Germany, but without him, the earth would continue to rotate.

"Marson!" Bilo turned to Tirpitz, who was bearded and dressed in traditional marshal uniforms. "I hope that the naval forces will not have any accidents during this period! Please defend our coast as usual and provide support for the troops landing in Britain!"

"I will!" Tirpiz straightened his chest slightly. His red marshal's collar looked so bright. The rise of the German navy was inseparable from his contributions. His ship philosophy also made German warships the best survivable combat ship in the world.

"General!" Bilo turned his gaze to Falkenhein, who was still gloomy, "Please make sure that the army troops will do their own duties as usual, and hope that there will be no mistakes in our attack on Britain and occupation of France!"

"The responsibility is!" Falkenhein's mood seemed not high when he said this. Bilo said nothing. As the German Prime Minister under this system, he could only say "please" and "hope" to the army and the navy. The actually supreme commander of the army was still lying on the luxurious carpet and slowly getting colder.

"General, I need to hold an emergency meeting with other cabinet members here. Please help me prepare a conference room!" Bilo finally ordered General Graf. It seemed that the only thing that is fortunate is that all the cabinet members were present today.

"Yes!" Graf immediately called a major officer to start giving orders.

Tilpiz looked at Falkenhein, and the commander of the army and the navy still did not talk directly. They were probably the only ones who knew what was hidden behind this strange silence. After that, Tilpiz and the navy generals present occupied a lounge next to the hall, while Falkenhein and the army generals went to another lounge. After negotiations with the Imperial Guards, several princes of the Allied Powers got a lounge that matched their identities, while the others could only stay in the hall and wait.

After a while, the soldiers of the Imperial Guards began to inspect and interrogate everyone present. At this time, no one noticed that the emperor and the special contact officer of the acting crown prince had disappeared. In fact, before a large number of Imperial Guards entered the hall, this smart big man quietly slipped out of the banquet hall. After assassinating the number one figure in the world in this era, Rainie's right hand shot out the dart did not tremble. The only thing he was afraid of was that the dart did not hit the target at that time. After all, he was still more than ten meters away from the emperor at that time. If it weren't for the "help" of those royal photographers, he would not have been able to succeed or escape so easily. In fact, this situation was much beyond his and Chen Tian's expectations. Fortunately, Rainie did not forget that there was another important target in the palace.

After the emperor was assassinated, the entire palace was not in a state of chaos because the trained guards quickly set off. Except for the brightly lit banquet hall, other places in the palace were slightly deserted. Rennie occasionally went to the roadside to avoid teams of guards rushing to the banquet hall. The crisp sound of leather boots of the soldiers almost became the main theme in the palace.

After nightfall, the sea water in the English Channel began to surge, and the waves kept beating against the side of the steel warships of the German fleet. Chen Tian and his senior staff did not have the heart to listen to the rhythmic sound of the waves. As the latest German battleship, the nautical performance of the King-class warship has reached a very superior level. Under such sea conditions, the people in the cabin did not feel much bumpy. Chen Tian's heart was as calm as this warship. All the past experiences allowed him to wait for the verdict of fate so calmly.

At 9:1 pm, Chen Tian waited for what he had been waiting for and sent a top-secret telegram from Berlin that was sent in the name of Prime Minister Bilo.
