Only one chapter today, sorry!
...
The westernmost city of Germany, Aachen, is located at the intersection of Germany, Holland, and Belgium, and is known as the "Heart of Europe."
(Above is the border marker of Germany, Holland, and Belgium, with each side of the marker inscribed with the name of the country.)
Because it is a transportation hub connecting the three countries, Germany built five train stations here to promote trade.
A convoy of cars slowly stopped in front of the main train station in Aachen, and the French Army soldiers lined up on both sides quickly held their guns and stood at attention, saluting at the officers' command.
Shire stepped down from the car, followed closely by Albert I with a group of attendants.
As they were about to enter the gate, Albert I, walking alongside Shire, looked around with some emotion: "I have been here before to meet with William II."
Then he added another sentence: "It was before the war, Vice Admiral."
