The Demon King Chapter 16 The Three Riflemen

.It was another day when the weather was sunny but the temperature was very low. It was not appropriate to visit the Statue of Liberty on Liberty Island in such a weather, but it was not too bad.

Accompanied by American officials, Chen Tian and his party boarded a ferry to Liberty Island at a port in Manhattan. Rather than a ferry, it is more like a luxury yacht for a wealthy family. It looks extraordinary outside and has extremely exquisite interior decoration.

"The day before yesterday, the crown prince and his wife of the Austro-Hungarian Empire also took this ferry to Freedom Island!" Xiang Chentian, a guide named Bush, introduced that he seemed to be telling everyone that the US government did not favor any country in terms of its itinerary.

Neither Chen Tian nor Lisa responded, but looked at the Statue of Liberty directly in front of her. Of course, from this perspective, the back of the statue was seen. Although this back was far less famous than her front, it also had a beauty that cannot be ignored.

Mr. Bush, regardless of whether the guests were bored, said flatteringly: "Usually, our country will only arrange very, very honorable guests to visit Liberty Island. As for ordinary visitors, just take a boat to see when entering the port!"

Chen Tian didn't know if this Bush had anything to do with another world-famous father and son, but this person's words were full of money, and his snobbish attitude was even more disgusting.

"Jonalette!" Chen Tian called out his attendant without hesitation, "Let the Americans change us a guide!"

"Yes!" Jonalet faithfully implemented Chen Tian's request.

Ten minutes later, Bush disappeared in front of Chen Tian, ​​and the American official temporarily found a female guide named Jona.

Chen Tian soon discovered that the female guide spoke well in German, but his speed was a bit fast.

"Are you German?" Chen Tian was a little curious because it is generally difficult for foreigners to speak German at this speed.

"Uh...my father is German, and my mother is American! Dear Your Majesty!"

In front of this prominent emperor, Jonah seemed a little nervous.

"Oh!" Chen Tian then turned his gaze to Jona. Although she was a mixed-race, she still had a pure Germanic face, which also made Chen Tian feel a little intimate about her. No matter what, she was always much better than the Bush in front. Jona, who was small, had short brown hair and was dressed very ordinary. She was only twenty-six years old this year, and she looked like a female college student. In fact, she had been working as a tour guide for 8 years.

"Where is your father from?" Lisa came over after being fed up with the compliments from American officials. Indeed, chatting with such a girl is much easier than talking to a politician.

"My father used to live in Stuttgart, and later came from Germany to the United States to do business. He met my mother here!" Jona replied respectfully, "I have never been to Germany, but I really hope to have the opportunity to go there and have a look!"

"Oh, Stuttgart, an industrial city in western Germany!" Lisa is still very familiar with Germany's geography, so even though her home is far away in West Prussia in northern Germany, she can still blurt out the characteristics of Stuttgart.

Seeing that the German Emperor and his wife were very kind, Jonah was not so restrained, "Yes. Your Majesty! My father said that he worked in a gear factory in Stegat when he was young. After his parents passed away one after another, he packed his bags and came to New York with his friends!"

"The United States is indeed the gold rush land in the minds of many people!" Facing the sea breeze, Chen Tian felt thoughtful.

"Freedom, democracy, peace!" After Jonah said these three words, she suddenly felt that it was not appropriate to say these things here, so she quickly apologized to the German Emperor and his wife, "I'm sorry, I'm not saying that Germany is not enough..."

"It doesn't matter, this is the United States of freedom of speech!" Chen Tian's words were a little cold, but he was a little angry in his heart. The so-called freedom, democracy and peace are nothing more than relative. No one can guarantee that the United States will still spend the next month in a lonely peace. However, many people in this world regard Germany as a terrorist war machine lacking democracy and freedom, and he is the country's absolute dictator.

Lisa comforted Jonah, who seemed panicked, on the side: "It's nothing. Freedom, democracy and peace are the goals that everyone pursues. It's just that the situation in each country is different!"

Although Jona put away the panic on her face, she spoke much more cautiously since then.

Soon, the ferry was docked on the small pier on the north side of Liberty Island. This small island had been occupied by a large number of policemen and military police at this time. With the protection of a group of personal guards, Chen Tian really had nothing to say about the security work here.

"This statue of the world civilization was designed by Eiffel, a Frenchman who designed the Paris Tower. It was completed in Paris in 1884. In July of the same year, the French government gave this statue of freedom to the United States as a gift to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the independence of the United States. In mid-October 1886, the statue of the statue was officially unveiled here..."

Listening to Jona's introduction, Chen Tian still didn't feel much about this statue of goddess, but he just praised her size and momentum in his heart. No wonder the United States is known for its freedom and democracy. This statue is a perfect symbol.

After that, Chen Tian and his party took the elevator to the top of the Statue of Liberty. For most tourists who come to New York, such a trip is really ordinary. Chen Tian didn't understand why the boring Bush had said that this was a pleasure only for VIPs. Perhaps it really corresponds to an old saying: Exaggerated!

Meanwhile, in that dirty basement last night, the group of people gathered together again.

"I just found out that the German Emperor and his party are visiting the Statue of Liberty!" The scumbag seemed to be responsible for inquiring about the news. He reported yesterday about the situation of the German convoy.

"Sure enough!" Square face slapped the table, and he still held the cigarette that he never lit in his mouth.

"Boss..." The scumbag looked at the gentle "doctor" wearing glasses in anticipation.

The doctor still had the calm expression, "Sino, what do you think?"

Xino leaned silently in the corner, which seemed to be his exclusive position.

"From me, our ambush plan on Broadway may have to be changed!" Xino didn't look at the reaction of others, but just looked straight at the back of the "doctor". Without waiting for everyone to ask questions, he continued to say: "Last night, I observed the scene of the Austro-Hungarian Crown Prince and his party going to the Washington Square Theater to watch the show. The government deployed a lot of spies and patrolmen there. When the convoy arrived, the cordon line was very wide. The crowd was about 30 meters away from the convoy, and there were many people watching! If the bomb was used as planned, the distance was a problem, and the crowd would greatly reduce the lethality of the bomb to the target!"

When they said this, bloody scenes of bombs exploding in the crowd suddenly appeared in everyone's minds, which was no stranger to the British veterans who had fought with the German army. Many of their comrades died under the German shells like this!

"Doctor" didn't look back, "You mean to use a gunman to deal with the target?"

"To be precise, they are riflesmen who specialize in hunting targets!" Cino corrected, "The Germans call them snipers!"

"Sniper..." Someone repeated in a low voice. Such a word could easily evoke the memories of these frustrated battlefields. Moreover, German snipers did give them a big shadow. For example, in the Battle of Reading, nearly 30% of the British three infantry divisions were shot and killed by German snipers, which directly led to the failure of command of British officers and soldiers in a defensive position and being extremely passive. In the end, except for a few soldiers breaking through, the rest of the three divisions were surrounded and annihilated by the German army.

In the corner, a taciturn person spoke at this time: "Boss, when I was serving in the British No. 1 Infantry Division, I participated in such a special training - using a rifle with a scope to shoot German officers on the battlefield, which is actually what Cino mentioned! However, our training lasted only three weeks before we went to the battlefield. Although we also achieved some results, it was very difficult to meet a special German sniper!"

Everyone looked at that corner and found it was the man who usually wore a baseball cap and had a melancholy face. Few people here remember his real name. Now people always call him "baseball cap" or "unlucky guy".

"You can make that kind of specialized rifle by modifying it with our rifle, right, Katz!"

The "topball cap" looked at the "doctor" unexpectedly. Perhaps he was the only one who would call his own name here.

"Yes, a good rifle, a smaller monocular, plus a good shooter, that's enough!"

"This is not a problem!" The doctor said calmly. To others, he seemed to be so calm. But it would be better not to try his patience for this. Last time, an unlucky guy annoyed him, but he was killed extremely cruelly.

"To increase the chance of success, we need at least three people to ambush in three different places!" This time, without waiting for the boss' request, Xino took the initiative to put forward his own opinions.

"Doctor" quickly gave the list: "Kez, Martin, and... Northwo! Just three of you, are there any problems?"

"I'm OK!" Kaiz responded first.

"I think I'll be a good hunter!" The speaker was a man wearing an old vest, whose name was Matt Martin. He first served in the 3rd Division of the British Army, and had been to France, where he almost lost his life. He was said to have been a first-class shooter in their troops.

The last person expressed obedience while boasting: "Everyone said that my eyes were like owls' eyes at night, and no small thing could escape my sight!"

"Okay, Katz, you are responsible for modifying the rifle. It must be completed before dark!" The "doctor" slowly arranged for everyone to divide the work. The scumbag was still responsible for exploring the information, while Xino had to take the two of them to Broadway Street to squat.

"We are working with our heads this time, and each of us has brought me 200% spirit!" The "doctor" finally scolded.

After finishing the visit to the Statue of Liberty, Chen Tian and his party still boarded the luxurious ferry when they arrived, and soon returned to the ferry port on the westmost side of Manhattan Island. According to the plan, Chen Tian and his party will go to an old store near Central Park with a history of nearly a hundred years to attend a luncheon, and then enter the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, which is also located near Central Park.

From the port to Central Park, Chen Tian and his party passed Broadway again. At this time, it was very different from last night's casual outing. The New York authorities arranged for these VIPs from Germany as the treatment received by the Austro-Hungarian royal family before - police cars were opened and military police swept the tail. There were also a large number of police officers on both sides of the way to maintain public order.

For such a big scene, there are quite a few citizens watching on both sides of the street.

A young man with blonde curly hair tried to squeeze into the cordon of the police car deployed to see what was going on, but he only heard the policemen in front shouting: "Get back! Go back!"

At this time, the convoy had not passed by here, so the curly young man had to ask a person in a suit beside him: "Oh, such a big show! Someone with prominent identities must come!"

"I don't know, maybe it was the Austro-Hungarian royal family I visited the day before yesterday!" The man looked like a businessman, but he didn't know much about the situation here. No wonder, something as important as the visiting trip of the foreign head of state would naturally be listed as a high-level secret. Even the police who maintained public order might not know who they were going to pass next.

"Australia-Hungarian royal family? I heard that they came here last night and watched the musical at the Washington Square Theater! The show... is said to be very luxurious and spectacular!" The young man praised, hoping that he would also have the opportunity to see the grand occasion.

"It may not be the Austro-Hungarian royal family today!" An old man in his fifties and sixties next to him did not agree with the speculation just now. Although he was quite old, his body seemed to be full of strength, otherwise he would not have come to this crowded place to watch the fun.

The young man and the businessman looked at the old man in anticipation.

"It is said that the delegation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire has left New York today, and the German delegation came to New York last night! Maybe the German delegation will pass by later!" Although the old man was just speculating, his tone seemed quite certain. Looking at his outfit, the color of the jacket was a bit dull, but the fabric was delicate and soft, which was definitely a first-class good product.

"So that's it!" The young man suddenly realized, and at this moment, a commotion began not far ahead.

"Look! It seems they are here!" the old man said, stretching his head forward as he tried his best.

Sure enough, just one minute later, police cars with American and German flags inserted on both sides of the car appeared in people's sight. After seven or eight policemen, a new Daimler brand car followed closely, with two small black and white and red flags inserted in front of them without exception.

At this time, the old man suddenly shouted: "Long live Germany! Long live the empire! Long live the emperor!"

Coupled with similar cheers around, the entire street was filled with an extremely excited atmosphere.

The young man looked at the old man in surprise. It seemed that this guy was a German expatriate, no wonder he was so interested in the German delegation.

One after another, the cars drove alone on the middle line of the street, about ten meters away from the crowds on both sides. Although the mountains and seas were thundering outside, the people in the car seemed to have no reaction. Each of the Daimler cars was curtained, and outsiders could not see the situation inside, let alone identify which one was the German Emperor's car.
