Volume 3: Confrontation! The Run of Civilization Chapter 513: Po Jun also fell
"What did you want to talk to me about?"
As the first time traveler in this era besides Philip, Rudolf was a little excited when he first received Tokugawa Yoshinao's request for a face-to-face meeting, and readily agreed to the other party's envoy. But when Tokugawa Yoshinao came to his tent and the two met alone, this excitement quickly disappeared.
Tsk, why did he have to cut off a piece of his hair? Why did the shoulder bag of this dress have to be so wide? Why did the front of this dress cover from left to right? Also, why is he so short? Why are his facial features so flat and lack three-dimensionality? Oh, it turns out that all yellow-skinned monkeys are equally ugly!
"I want to tell you a secret, a secret that concerns your life and death, in exchange for my life and the lives of my remaining subordinates." Seeing Rudolph's disapproving expression, Tokugawa Yoshinao quickly said, "Please rest assured, as long as you give me a way out here, I will honestly return to Hawaii Island to be the island master and never interfere in your affairs again."
"Secret?" After a playful smile, Rudolph nodded: "Go ahead."
"I don't know what your Lord God said to you before you traveled through time, but did he tell you that the criterion for victory in this competition between the seven travelers is not that the country where the travelers are located dominates the world, but that only one of the seven people can survive!"
"That's it?"
"Huh? You know?"
"Hahaha, I really didn't know before I traveled through time, and I still didn't know for a long time after I traveled through time. But do you think that the time traveler from Osman would not find a way to tell me this news?"
"Hiss..." After hearing Rudolf's answer, Tokugawa Yoshinao was shocked: How could this guy remain so calm after knowing the truth? How cunning must he be?
"Originally, I was a little skeptical when I heard the truth in the letter written to me by Ibrahim in Morse code. After all, the EU has been integrated and Ottoman Empire is our next target. It is possible that they are trying to sow discord. But since you said so today, it seems to be true."
"I...I really admire you. You can endure it until now!"
"Hahaha, your name is Tokugawa Yoshinao, right? What did you do before you traveled through time?"
"Cartoonist." He quickly added, "Military."
"Humph, a military cartoonist hasn't developed smokeless gunpowder yet. It seems he is a stupid nerd."
"you!"
Ignoring the angry Tokugawa Yoshinao, Rudolf continued to speak to himself: "Before Philip traveled through time, he was a professor in the history department and a nerd. He thought he had me under control, but he was actually a complete fool!"
He circled around Tokugawa Yoshinao and admired his expression: "Before I traveled through time, I was a Spanish military attaché in Germany. Germany was very good at fighting during World War I and World War II. But precisely because it was so good at fighting, it was closely watched by all countries in the world after World War II. After the end of the Cold War, it had no choice but to abandon its own military power. I don't know if cartoonists like you know that after the end of the Cold War, the combat effectiveness of the German Wehrmacht plummeted. In NATO internal exercises, it was often beaten by Italian troops in various ways...
So, my job in Germany is not very hard. Most of the time, I am dealing with people from all walks of life and all countries. Haha, Philip always thinks that as a professor, he can govern a country well. In fact, if someone like him were to go into politics in the 21st century, he probably wouldn’t even be able to be a member of parliament! "
Looking at the silent Tokugawa Yoshinao, Rudolf felt that it was really boring without a supporting actor. However, he had been holding back some words for a long time, and it was rare that he had an audience that he could completely trust today, so he continued to speak with great interest.
"Since I came here, I have been pretending to be reckless and only know how to fight. At that time, I didn't know the real rules of the game, but I still pretended to be like that. There is no reason, this is the instinct of a bureaucrat who has been in the political arena for many years!"
"...I really, ah, I really underestimated you. So, now that you have determined the rules of this game, do you want to go back and kill that Philip?"
"Kill Philip?" Rudolf turned around and looked at Tokugawa Yoshinao with interest: "Why do you want to kill him? Why do you want to kill him now? Why do you want me to kill him?"
"you?"
"Haha." After a very refreshing laugh, Rudolf said, "This era has developed too fast because of us, so there are many inconsistencies in society. To make these inconsistencies harmonious, it is not something that a soldier or politician like me can do. It must be done by scholars like Philip. After all, historians are the ones who can best control the general trend of the times. So, now, I can't kill him.
As for the future, after I kill you, your talent should be transferred to Philip. Ah, since I received the secret code letter from Iprahin more than a year ago, I have developed a strong interest in the Seven Star System originated in China, and I have also secretly consulted several oriental scholars. According to my guess, your talent should be related to military affairs, right?"
"I can answer your questions, but you have to agree to one of my requests first." At this point, Tokugawa Yoshinao, who knew that he had made a big mistake and would not escape death today, suddenly became enlightened.
"you say?"
"Give me a quick death later, then release my men and let them go back to Hawaii. Without my leadership, they will eventually degenerate into Hawaiian savages and will not pose any threat to you."
"Hahaha, these are two requests. However, I agree to them."
"Okay, Pojunxing's talent is to increase melee attack power and long-range shooting accuracy. But this talent has a distance limit, and it can't be used if you are too far away from the battlefield."
"Look, isn't this the conclusion? After Philip got your talent, he naturally had to go to the battlefield more often. Isn't it normal for an accident to happen on the battlefield? Hmm..." Rudolf stroked his beard proudly and couldn't help but began to fantasize: "After Philip helps me integrate Europe and sort out various relationships, it will be time to launch a full-scale war against the Ottoman Empire. With such a talent, shouldn't he go to the battlefield in person? Oh, on the battlefield, bullets are flying everywhere, and a stray bullet accidentally hits the great Majesty, tut tut tut..."
There is no need to tell you what happened next: Philip's son was only four years old at the time, and when the king was killed in the war against Austria, the crown prince was probably only six or seven years old. As the king's uncle, Prince Rudolf not only controlled the troops, but he was also one of the twins born under the protection of Archangel Michael! Who will take over the Spanish throne? Need I say it?
That was about all he had to say. Tokugawa Yoshinao stared at the tent roof indifferently for a while and said, "Oh, if I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have fled to Japan. I should have at least left a good reputation in this plane."
This sentence was said in Japanese, so Rudolph naturally didn't understand. But he didn't care, because today he had revealed all the secrets that he had kept for more than 20 years, and he also had an uncontrollable excitement: "The time has come, my colleague, you should set off. Don't worry, I just agreed to one of your requests, and I will give you a quick reward."
"A request? You, you bastard!"
"Hmph! Your subordinates are all veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles. They followed you from Japan to Hawaii and then to North America. They are loyal to you. What if I let them go and they come back to avenge you? You know, if you and I hadn't been able to locate each other this time, I wouldn't have been able to succeed in this jungle-covered environment in the short term! America will be the rear base for the decisive battle between Spain and China in the future, so there must be no mistakes. Besides, why can you lowly yellow monkeys enjoy the preferential treatment policies for prisoners after we Westerners surrender?"
"Bagayaloo!" Unlike Zhu Youdong who was afraid of death and tied Luoya Buddha tightly when he met him, Rudolf did not tie him up when he met Tokugawa Yoshinao. So Tokugawa Yoshinao suddenly jumped up and punched Rudolf with karate.
However, after easily defusing these attacks, Rudolf's right fist broke through the opponent's fast-moving fists and hit Tokugawa Yoshinao's cheek with a heavy punch. Then he quickly strode forward, half turned around, and accurately grabbed Tokugawa Yoshinao's neck with his left forearm.
"My colleague, I have traveled through time for more than 20 years, and I have never stopped fighting training since I was four years old. After all, I formed the first modern assassination group in Europe. I am also afraid of being assassinated by others. This is still a soldier's instinct!"
"You shit soldier, you racist, you dare to call us yellow monkeys, you..."
The throat was tightened, not to mention speaking, even breathing became more and more difficult. At this time, Rudolf's right hand pressed down on Tokugawa Yoshinao's cheek, and then his left and right hands exerted force in opposite directions at the same time!
“Crack.”
Boundless darkness quickly enveloped Tokugawa Yoshinao's consciousness. Before this consciousness finally disappeared, Tokugawa Yoshinao roared in anger: I really shouldn't have run away! Zhu Youdong! You have to work harder! We must not let this madman become the winner of this game!
