Gravedigger of the Empire

"We're here, Mr. Kahn!" Beausher turned the steering wheel, and the front of the car was facing the street. In front of them was the unassuming, unmarked gate of the V Organization.

"Hmm, no need to stop, let's go straight to Mrs. Love's cottage." Kahn suddenly remembered that he seemed to have arranged to have afternoon tea with two friends.

With a nod, the car drove past the gates of the V organization and headed toward the small restaurant that was becoming increasingly famous in Berlin.

Ordinary people certainly don't know about this place, but more and more high-ranking officials and dignitaries are beginning to realize that such a place exists.

A place where you can solve problems you encounter or turn your skills into benefits.

The car was parked in the parking space at the entrance, where several other cars were already parked.

One of them was a police car belonging to the Bureau of Investigation, a car that Kahn knew very well. The others looked completely unfamiliar.

He pushed open the hotel door, and the doorbell rang pleasantly. Kahn walked to the counter and took a few sheets of paper from Mrs. Love.

"We hope someone can help resolve the water plant workers' strike; we're willing to offer money or personal favors in exchange."

"I'm a person who likes to make friends, City Hall Clerk Galenwell."

Kahn handed the notes to Beausher, who put them in his briefcase, then smiled and nodded to Mrs. Love: "Excuse me, madam!"

"The same as always?" Mrs. Love asked Kahn.

Kahn nodded. "Okay! Skip the broth, give me a cream of mushroom soup!"

"Okay!" There were no other options regarding Kahn's request.

Kahn gestured to Borshe that he could find a place to rest, and then walked over to the table of two guests, one fat and one thin, who were eating and drinking heartily.

He pulled out a chair, sat down, and tucked a napkin into his collar: "You two look quite well!"

"It's good! Quite good." Maddie put down the bone in his hand, moved his lips a couple of times, and said.

Joe smiled and gestured to Kahn, "I was originally going to treat you to this meal, but since none of the three of us have to pay here, I can't do it even if I wanted to."

"Next time I'm going to Paris! The Moulin Rouge is a great place! The girls there are incredibly friendly! Trust me!" Maddie said with a mischievous grin, the kind that any man would understand.

"So next time we go to the Grand Berlin Hotel, their cheese pigeon is famous," Joe chimed in to Kahn.

"That place is mine too. If you go there, I'll still have to pay for it." Kahn boasted smugly.

Yes, he is really rich now, extremely rich.

Joe pointed at Kahn: "You really are something! I'm speechless! Are there any hotels in Berlin that you don't own? I'm curious."

"Not many left." Kahn said half-jokingly, and then the three of them burst into laughter.

"Honestly, I never expected a German soldier to be like you, Kahn. You are so... sensible and meticulous in your work..." After laughing enough, Maddie suddenly became serious.

He stared at Kahn and said very solemnly, "Your existence makes me believe that there are people within Germany who want to avoid war! You have shown me that there are people in Germany who are doing their utmost for lasting peace on the European continent."

Joe's smile faded, and he looked at Kahn, continuing, "I even think you should go into politics, Kahn. Really, if you'd like, you have many friends here in Britain who would support you."

"Me? Haha! I'm only interested in making money! And... making friends on the side!" Kahn shrugged, looking quite innocent.

"That's right! Friend! You are my friend! My good friend!" Madi raised his glass in a toast.

Joe agreed, saying, "Our friendship transcends the strait!"

The reason they were so attentive today was because Kahn had cooperated with them a few days ago in Operation "Bobcat".

In this operation, the Versailles Peace Treaty Oversight Committee deployed a large number of military police to raid fourteen German arms caches.

Then, a large quantity of weapons, including rifles, bullets and other supplies, were found in four hiding places.

President Ebert of the Weimar Republic was forced to reprimand the commander-in-chief of the defense forces, Sikert, and the defense forces eventually had to apologize to the committee.

This action greatly enhanced the committee's authority.

All the intelligence for this operation was provided by Kahn.

"I promised you both that those surplus weapons would eventually be destroyed." Kahn turned slightly to the side, and Mrs. Love placed a steaming bowl of cream of mushroom soup in front of him.

Maddie suddenly realized that Kahn had made a promise when the three of them discussed their plan to make money.

At that time, Maddie was very worried that the Germans were hiding a large amount of weapons, which would eventually become a problem for France.

Now, the weapons are back on the records, just as Kahn said, and no one is taking the risk.

Although the defense forces were under some pressure, what was actually exposed were bullets and rifles. These types of weapons are not very sensitive, so the committee only gave them a minor punishment and did not take any major action.

On the defense side, taking advantage of this incident, they managed to offload a lot of weapons that were on paper, so it wasn't too bad of a loss.

Vic has landed another big deal, and the workers will be busy for a while.

Perhaps when Chinese arms buyers return, this batch of "destroyed" weapons will come in handy, and everyone can make a profit again.

One fish, three ways, or even four ways – what a win-win situation!

"Thank you!" Maddie was even more satisfied with Kahn. He felt that if his daughter weren't the same size as him, he would have tried to match them up.

Joe was even more direct, already taking action: "You're not young anymore. What kind of girl do you like? My wife knows quite a few noble ladies. Aren't you interested in being a count's husband?"

"Cough...cough cough cough..." Kahn, who was drinking soup, choked and coughed for a while before finally stopping. "Please, have mercy on me!"

Those noble ladies are living too extravagantly; Kahn doesn't want to be unaware of who his child's father is.

He was genuinely afraid that one day he'd find out the child wasn't his. After making further inquiries, it was hard to say whose child it was, because there were so many people around that night…

"What kind of attitude is this! Let's each do our own thing! When you get a knighthood, you'll be an aristocrat, won't you...?" Joe pleaded earnestly, though who knows if he already had someone to recommend.

Given Kahn's net worth and age... it's just that most young women don't know he exists.

If they found out, World War II would probably break out prematurely among women.

"How about... we consider French girls? They're more enthusiastic..." Maddie said with a hint of resentment, feeling he had been too slow.

"Uh..." Kahn never expected that after transmigrating, he would be pressured to get married...
