In New York, lower Manhattan, the wounds of the war a year ago have been basically healed. Even the head of the bronze statue of Washington that was smashed has been rebuilt, and a new bronze statue of the former governor of New York State who died in the line of duty has been erected next to him.
Now only the buildings being rebuilt on Wall Street remind people of that terrible night, but in the distance in Brooklyn, traces of the Spanish ravages can still be found.
Today is a memorable day. An emperor from the far East is about to visit this city. Although the people of the New World usually despise the monarchs of the Old World, they look down with pity on those in the Old World with a kind of liberal and democratic nobility.
People under the rule of imperial power, but in fact when emperors, kings, or nobles appear in front of them, the slaves' deep-rooted fear of their old masters still makes them involuntarily lower their heads, so the arrival of any such figure will
caused a massive stir in the country.
What's more, this is a legendary emperor with countless dazzling auras.
Nearly 200,000 Americans gathered on the pier and greeted Emperor Yang as he came down from the Nautilus's gangway with deafening cheers, especially the young girls who admired him. They even shouted his name crazily, desperately thinking
He pounced on his idol, which made the policemen look nervous. They even had to use shields to form a shaky defense line on both sides, trying their best to block the girls who showed love.
And Yang Feng, who made a grand appearance with the queen on his arm, waved to them frequently with a smile on his face like a third-rate star. With the release of The Count of Monte Cristo in the United States, his fan base in the United States is growing exponentially.
The growth and quantity are a bit overwhelming.
In addition to the fan groups, the welcoming crowd also included tens of thousands of workers who came from all over the United States. They held various slogans to welcome the most benevolent entrepreneur in their minds, and some shouted slogans hoping that Yang Feng would help them appeal to the U.S. government.
Some expressed their demands, and some even held up photos of the U.S. military suppressing striking workers and begged the foreign emperor to help them get justice.
"These idiots, will they get Sunday and the eight-hour working day when Yang Feng comes?" A capitalist in the front row of the formal welcoming team looked at the excited workers behind him speechlessly.
"Fantasy, you also know that when people are in despair, they will inevitably have some unrealistic fantasies." Another capitalist said sarcastically, and then he turned his attention to the dock, where in addition to the black royal yacht with strange shapes, there were also
There is a visiting fleet coming with Yang Feng, six gray armored cruisers and four large destroyers showing their majesty in the sun. Compared with these brand-new and latest warships, the small protected cruiser USS Cincinnati of the US Navy next to it,
Like a piece of garbage floating on the sea.
"Show off, show off nakedly, the poor United States of America has actually fallen to the point where the Chinese come to show off their power." He couldn't help but sigh helplessly. This sigh immediately resonated with the surrounding capitalists. In fact,
These American capitalists now hate Yang Feng so much that they can almost gnash their teeth.
Among the enthusiastic welcoming crowd, no one noticed a guy wearing a windbreaker and a top hat on his head, who was staring closely at Yang Feng, pushing forward and reaching into his arms.
At this time, Yang Feng had already walked down the gangway. Secretary of State William Day, who came to greet him on behalf of President Hobart, quickly stepped forward, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, on behalf of the American people and President Hobart, I welcome you.
.”
Yang Feng reservedly stretched out his hand to him. The moment the two held their hands together, countless reporters' spotlights rang out simultaneously with deafening applause, and the muzzle of a Colt revolver was pointed at the crowd.
Yang Feng then burst into flames amidst enthusiastic applause. Yang Feng, who was shaking hands with William Dai, was stunned for a moment. Then he saw him suddenly falling to the ground on his back as if he had been punched by someone.
There was silence all around, and everyone was dumbfounded. William Dai still kept bending over to shake hands, and the smile on his face did not change. Emperor Yang lay on the ground.
"There is an assassin!" At this time, Yuan Shikai, who was behind the emperor, suddenly woke up and screamed hysterically. At the same time, he instantly threw the queen to the ground and pressed on her and Yang Feng. Almost at the same time as him, the royal guards who followed him
They took out their weapons as quickly as possible and rushed forward to block them with a human wall.
At this time, the welcoming crowd suddenly exploded. Countless people screamed and ran backwards. There were also Yang Feng's admirers and workers who desperately wanted to squeeze to the front to see Emperor Yang's situation. Crowds on both sides
The chaos directly turned into a disaster. Two hundred thousand people crowded, pushed and even trampled each other. Even many police officers who struggled to maintain order were trampled under their feet. The entire pier was like an estuary at high tide, with two forces
Constantly colliding and stirring.
William Dai had woken up at this time and hurriedly wanted to go forward to check Yang Feng's injury, but was pushed aside by the royal guards without hesitation. Then he watched behind the human wall as a large number of guards carried Yang Feng back.
On the Nautilus, something even more terrifying happened at this moment. After learning that His Majesty the Emperor had been assassinated, the Chinese fleet on the dock immediately sounded the battle alarm, followed by countless sailors rushing to their posts, hundreds of cannons of various calibers
The gun jacket was quickly removed, the turret slowly rotated, and the black muzzle was pointed at the dock.
Their actions brought the chaos on the pier to the point of being beyond control. William Day, protected by more than a dozen policemen, roared hysterically in an attempt to save the situation. Some policemen even fired shots into the air. Unfortunately, their gunshots were fired directly into the air.
Submerged in the battle sirens of ten battleships that resounded throughout New York.
At this time, everyone in the Nautilus, including Lin Luoke, looked at Emperor Yang in astonishment as he climbed out of the hospital bed like a corpse.
"What are you looking at? Do you understand that my clothes are bulletproof? Damn, it looks like a broken rib." This guy said angrily while touching his ribs with a "shenyin" sound.
"Bulletproof vest?" Yuan Shikai's eyes almost popped out of his head.
"High technology, you don't understand it!" Yang Feng found the lead warhead wrapped in bulletproof fiber from his clothes, threw it to a bodyguard, then helped Lin Luoke get up and ran to the window
Visit the chaos on the pier with great interest. This kind of scene is not easy to see.
However, the chaos did not last long. After all, this was on an empty beach. The crowd was quickly evacuated. But even so, it caused nearly a thousand casualties, including more than 200 people who were trampled to death, including
The reason why there were such heavy casualties among more than a dozen policemen was largely due to the battle alarm sounded by the Chinese fleet. However, the U.S. government was not qualified to blame them. When Yang Feng was assassinated and his life or death was uncertain, the Chinese Royal Navy
It is completely reasonable for a warship to enter combat mode, and no one is qualified to accuse it.
What's more, the U.S. government is not in the mood to care about this kind of thing now.
After hearing the news of Yang Feng's assassination, Hobart was immediately stunned. The first order he made was to order the U.S. Navy's Atlantic Fleet in Key West to immediately enter a state of war. Now, regardless of Yang Feng's life or death, China will
It has the qualification to declare war on the United States, and according to the Caribbean Alliance Treaty just signed, Germany, Russia and Spain will definitely join the war. How can the United States now have the qualification to declare war? Not to mention the four partners, the US Navy even visited New York
Even the Chinese fleet may not be able to defeat it.
At that time, he was really at the mercy of others. Thinking of such terrible consequences, Hobart broke out in a cold sweat. He had a bad heart. He originally died of a heart attack in this year in history, but now he was killed by this
He was so frightened that he was admitted to the hospital that night. His Vice President William Arison temporarily acted as president. After Arison took over, the first thing he did was to personally go to the dock in New York as vice president and request to visit His Majesty the Emperor.
"Mr. Vice President, I'm really sorry. Your Majesty hasn't woken up yet. The bullet hit him right in the heart. Although he was wearing a high-tech body armor, I believe you also understand that a Colt revolver
The bullet hit the heart at close range, and the force was no different from hitting the chest with a big stick. His Majesty not only broke two ribs, but also suffered a heavy blow to the heart. He has not yet passed the critical period." Yuan Shikai said with a look on his face.
He was received sadly.
"Your Excellency, Lord Attendant, I am very sorry. It was all due to our negligence in our work. No one expected that someone would be harmful to Your Majesty. We are already doing our best to find the murderer. We hope that this matter will not affect the friendship between China and the United States. If possible,
, we also hope to send a group of American doctors to help treat His Majesty." Arison said, this should be good news for him. If Yang Feng dies, he must be beaten. If Yang Feng does not die, there is still hope for recovery.
room.
"Your Excellency, Vice President, this is unnecessary. I believe you also know that Your Majesty has a world-class medical team." Yuan Shikai said lightly. Arison really had nothing to say about this. Everyone knows that the British JY Medical Center is
The status of the international medical community is no different from that of a holy land. American doctors really can't do anything here in Yang Feng.
Since it was impossible to determine the specific extent of Yang Feng's injuries, Alison had no choice but to believe that he was indeed not out of danger yet. Accompanied by Yuan Shikai, he visited Yang Feng who was lying on the hospital bed pretending to be dead, and then comforted the man who looked sad beside him.
Her Majesty, the Queen, looked at Yang Feng's body armor and the shocking bullet marks on it, and of course the bullet that hit Yang Feng. At this time, Alison somewhat believed that Yang Feng was seriously injured.
