"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this issue anymore!" William II saw Lin Wei's excitement and changed the topic, "Is Gustav okay now?"

Speaking of his father, Lin Wei immediately changed his expression. The fierce look just now seemed to be an illusion, but he said with a hint of respect, "Although my father is in good health, he is old after all. I am responsible for so many things in the Krupp military industry, but when it comes to me, my son, I can’t do anything to help. It’s really unfilial!”

"Haha, I haven't seen him in many years!" William II talked more obviously when he mentioned the people he promoted. He kept asking about the status of major families in Germany. Although others could also hear some news in the Netherlands, But having Lin Wei here is obviously much better than hearsay.

"So, all the major families support the war against France?" William II asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, all families support it!" Lin Wei replied.

"Hey! They still can't let it go! But then again, I've never let it go either!" William II laughed at himself.

"No bloody person will admit that we failed in the last war!" Lin Wei said angrily, "Germany voluntarily gave up resistance and wanted to get a decent result, but Britain and France did everything they could. They may come to exploit us. Since the signing of the last contract, it is destined that our war with Britain and France is not over yet. Since they like to use war to solve problems, we will accompany them to the end."

"How are Germany's war preparations now?" William II asked a key question. He wanted to see Germany fail once.

Lin Wei's answer made William II relax, "We have been preparing for twenty years since the end of the war, and now everything that can be prepared has been prepared." Lin Wei replied confidently.

"Today I may have seen the children of my old friends, and I also got news from the country. I'm so happy!" William II said happily, "Lampard, please stay and enjoy a dinner with me! How about it?" "

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can't do it today. There are SS staff officers waiting for me in Amsterdam!" Lin Wei said apologetically, "Your Majesty, when you are restored, there will be plenty of opportunities! We will enjoy victory together in our own country. dinner!"

"In this case, then I won't keep you!" William II also knows that there are still many things waiting for Lin Wei in Germany. Today, William II is very happy to see people from the country coming to visit him, at least for himself The harmonious relationship with the Junker landowners has not been forgotten by the major families. I still remember him as the Kaiser who has abdicated.

"Then, Your Majesty, I take leave!" Lin Wei stood up, put on his military cap, and said farewell with a Juncker etiquette to William II.

"Goodbye, little one!" William II replied with a smile.

Lin Wei then walked out of the manor under the guidance of his servant. After leaving the manor, he called a taxi and rushed back to Amsterdam immediately, because Lin Wei was afraid that if time went by, the staff would become suspicious. Who knew if there was Hit among them? Le's eyes and ears, you must know that people who serve as staff have very rich imaginations. This cannot be blamed on Lin Wei for being timid, but what Lin Wei is doing now is related to his wealth and life. This kind of thing can be done by anyone. , as long as you are not an idiot, you will be cautious.

After returning to Amsterdam and meeting with several staff officers, they began to prepare to return home. Germany and the Netherlands are neighboring countries. Although war has begun to gather in Europe, it is not difficult for Lin Wei and others to cross the border. , Sure enough, after arriving at the German-Dutch border, the border guards saw a few people wearing black SS uniforms. They symbolically checked their documents and let them go.

After arriving in Germany, several people borrowed a car from the local Wehrmacht troops and, at Lin Wei's request, first went to Essen. In the car, Lin Wei said, "I want to visit home first and report to my family on the development of Krupp in the Netherlands. You guys will go back to Berlin first."

"Okay, leader!" None of the staff members had any objections.

"By the way, after you return to Berlin, first sort out the winter combat experience of the Northern Combat Group!" Lin Wei thought for a moment and ordered, "Also, call the SS staff officers to discuss with them, in Finland Do you know the plan to flank Norway in the north of Lapland? Especially the summary of winter combat experience, you must not be careless!"

"Well! Leader, don't worry! We will never forget it!" The staff officers nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

"That's it for now, I want to take a nap first! Call me when you get to Essen!" Lin Wei, who had been in the car almost all day, was already a little sleepy and couldn't wait to have a good sleep.

The big chimneys in Essen are still the most important buildings in the city. The towering chimneys are constantly emitting thick black smoke, which symbolizes that all the factories in Essen are now running at full capacity and working overtime. The extra points are producing the weapons Germany needs now.

Following the path in his memory, Lin Wei slowly returned home leisurely.

"Master, is that you?" The old Butler Creek still recognized Lin Wei after not seeing him for several years.

"Uncle Creek, how are you?" Lin Wei was very happy to see an acquaintance and asked earnestly.

It seemed that only the Hugel Villa in the suburbs could give Lin Wei a sense of peace in his heart. After entering the unfamiliar Hugel Villa, Lin Wei went straight to the room where he lived at home. Fortunately, Lin Wei was wearing a conspicuous SS uniform and his face had not changed much, so these servants did not do anything extraordinary.

Lin Wei, who was lying on his bed, desperately needed a good sleep. At this time, his father Gustav should be in the factory, and his mother Berta & Krupp should also be in the factory, right? Lin Wei fell asleep in his wild thoughts.

He slept for three nights a day. Lin Wei had been sleeping since he arrived at home yesterday afternoon. Finally, with his stomach growling in protest, Lin Wei had to get up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw his father Gustav sitting there, as if he had been there for a long time.

"Father, when did you come!" Lin Wei stood up with a start. He didn't need to put on his clothes because he didn't take them off at all.

"Lampard!" Gustav looked at Lin Wei lovingly and said, "I didn't even say a word when I got home, it's very cold in Finland!" To Gustav, Lin Wei's going to Finland was nothing. Linda had already told Gustav about the mysterious matter.

"It doesn't matter, father, I got what I wanted!" Lin Wei said with a pun.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about these things. Your mother has already prepared breakfast. She hasn't been back for a long time! It's really hard for you in Finland!" Gustav is still very proud of his son. Yes, who became the leader of the SS at the age of thirty, and which prime minister was thirty years old? My own son has done all this.

Gustave was only proud of his son. Originally, Gustav had always been worried about having only one son. But as Lin Wei grew up, Gustav was only proud now.

"Father, I have something serious to tell you!" Lin Wei said solemnly.

After getting Gustav's permission, Lin Wei said cautiously, "When I came back, I passed by the Netherlands and met His Majesty William II! And I have told His Majesty that I am ready to welcome His Majesty back and restore His Majesty!" ".

Gustav was very happy at first, but after listening to Lin Wei's words, his face became more and more gloomy. After listening to Lin Wei's words, Gustav finally couldn't bear it anymore and scolded, "Confused, Lampard, you are so stupid." Things are so confusing!"

"Why! Father!" Lin Wei couldn't understand. His father had always been a staunch royalist, and he didn't know why he was reprimanding him this time.

"The thing is right, but the method is wrong!" Gustave said in a tone that said that the iron is not the same. "Yes, welcoming His Majesty back is the dream of all Junker landlords. The British have always said that democracy is the best. system, but we Juncker landlords don’t care about that. We only know that Germany must belong to the Juncker landlords! So this determines our relationship with the royal family. We hate democracy, so we support Hitler! But the ultimate goal We will indeed welcome back His Majesty, because without the royal family, the Junkers landlords have lost the cornerstone of their survival. Even if we can use our influence to temporarily occupy the dominant position, over time, changes will definitely occur!" Lin Wei was confused when he heard this Here, Gustav explained, "What you did is not wrong in itself, but the method is indeed wrong! You should not tell the royal family in advance! When you have everything settled, the royal family will not accept you." Qing, you should tell the royal family the results when everything is settled, so that not only do we have time to arrange it, but the royal family will also accept your love! Do you understand?"

"Father, I was wrong!" Lin Wei thought over and over again. His idea this time was indeed a bit whimsical, but Lin Wei still asked unwillingly, "Father, is there any remedy at this time!"

"Now we can only take one step at a time!" Gustav said helplessly. Seeing that Lin Wei looked a little frustrated, Gustave persuaded him, "Lampard, you are still young after all. It is normal for you not to think carefully about some things! Fundamentally speaking, Hitt Le and us are not the same." Everyone, I have been worried about what you think of Hitler, but now it seems that I am worrying too much!"

"Father, Lampard still knows the importance!" Lin Wei said, "If I had to choose between the Junkers and the National Socialist Party, of course I would choose the Junkers, even though I have a very close relationship with Hitler. Okay, but now that we’re in this situation, we have no choice but to give up!”

"Well!" Gustav nodded appreciatively, "Lampard, I'm very happy that you have made such a decision. In order for us to control Germany for a long time, we must weaken the National Socialist Party!"

"Father, I understand!" Lin Wei nodded and said, "I will not delay the future of our Juncker landlord for the sake of my personal feelings!"
