Holy Roman Empire

292 Bismarck

The idea of ​​Bismarck getting started, Franz has already had, but unfortunately there are too many people with the same name in Europe. Before there is no emergence, who knows which is which?

No identity can be determined, and naturally nothing can be done.

When the identity of Bismarck was confirmed, he happened to be transferred from the representative of the Kingdom of Prussia in Frankfurt to the Minister of the New Holy Roman Empire.

Killing a ambassador in one's own territory, this effect is too bad.Political risks are too great, and Franz is not an adventurous person.

Now Bismarck is transferred to the position of Minister to Russia, then the situation is different.As long as you are careful, you will kill if you kill it. Even if you are in trouble, it will be a headache for the Czarist government.

If possible, he didn't mind killing the three Prussians together.It is a pity that the other two are in the army, and it is difficult to grasp the whereabouts. You can't rush into the barracks and kill them?

Franz did not think that his assassination team had such a bullish fork, and went to the Kingdom of Prussia to assassinate the officers of the family. If they were caught, it would be tragic.

Bismarck is the most threatening. Generals can fight again. In the era of thermal weapons, they cannot escape the constraints of national strength.In this regard, Franz does not counsel.

In contrast, politicians and diplomats dominate the destiny of the country.Now that Metternich is there, Bismarck's position is not high, and Franz is not worried about him doing things.

But the "European Prime Minister" was already old, leaving was sooner or later, and the young Bismarck began to take off after William Regent.

However, the ability of several candidates in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the New Holy Roman Empire can only be regarded as ordinary, and Franz himself is not a diplomatic master. In case when he will not pay attention to let Bismarck make an anti-Austrian alliance, it will be in trouble .

At present, the strength of the New Holy Roman Empire has not made everyone feel threatened. The overall national strength of the four countries of Britain, Russia, France and Austria is still relatively balanced, even if there is a gap between them.

However, in the next few decades, France will be left behind because of population, and the situation of the Russian Empire is still unclear, but Franz does not think that the delayed Russia will be stronger.

Against this background, sooner or later, all countries will notice the threat of the New Holy Roman Empire. Once the power is out of balance, the international order will change again.

Under normal circumstances, as long as France and Russia are not close together, Austria need not worry.But if the Kingdom of Prussia is to come in and join in for a while, the situation is different.

Now that Bismarck is appointed diplomatic minister of the Russian Empire, this means a change in the foreign policy of the Kingdom of Prussia, and they want to restore relations with the Russians.

Prior to this, Bismarck had repaired the diplomatic relations between the two countries.It was not unreasonable for William Friedrich Ludwig to use Bismarck even if he hated Bismarck very much.

In Franz's view, this is a danger signal.The relations between Russia and Russia have not improved slowly. That's because he has been doing damages and provoked the confrontation between the two countries. In essence, the conflict between Russia and Russia is not impossible to reconcile.

...

St. Petersburg, Bismarck, who has just become Minister of the Russian Empire, still has a headache about how to realign with Russia.

Bismarck will not take over as minister to Russia if it is not to promote the alliance of the three courts in Northern Europe again.After all, this is just a flat tone, not a promotion.

Bismarck instructed, "I'm going to visit Crown Prince Alexander, prepare the car."

Officials of the Tsarist government did not have much affection for the Kingdom of Prussia, but the relationship between the royal families of the two countries has always been good.

I don't know what the reason is. The Russian tsars have always been relatively pro-popular, and even Peter III, a brain fan, has appeared.Now Prince Alexander, the future Alexander II, is also a pro-general.

This alone is obviously not enough. This closeness in front of interests alone is not enough for the tsarist government to change its position.

A turning point in history has occurred, and the Russians have not lost European hegemony, so the tsarist government cannot abandon the Kingdom of Denmark, and as a hegemon, there can be no younger brother, which has risen to the problem of the dignity of the hegemonic country.

As long as the Kingdom of Prussia has ambitions for the two German states occupied by Denmark, the relationship between the two parties cannot be eased.

The Vienna system was established again, and the Kingdom of Prussia did not have the power to break the rules. Regent William Friedrich Ludwig believed that the best opportunity had been lost, and advocated domestic development first and temporarily abandoning external expansion.

To develop the domestic economy, it is imperative to improve diplomatic relations with other countries.In this context, only Bismarck's trip to St. Petersburg.

...

Upon stepping out of the embassy, ​​Bismarck felt restless, as if something had to happen.However, since the diplomatic meeting has been made, the pigeons cannot be released.

Time passed by one minute and one second, Bismarck smoothly entered the palace, and nothing seemed to happen.

...

A kind-hearted old man said seriously, "Aleksey, just now the news came from the inside, the target has gone out, you can prepare.

There is only one chance for everyone to shoot, no matter the success or failure, they must leave St. Petersburg tonight.Once the tsarist government has responded, the consequences are clear to you."

Aleksey said indifferently: "Knowing Andrea, you are still so wordy. You can rest assured that we are doing things. In order to ensure foolproof, we will block him at the gate, as long as he is in the carriage, he will not escape."

Andre ’s old man glared and said, “If you want to live longer in this business, put away your arrogance, Alex.

Not only the people in the carriage, but the driver and guards are also in the hunting range. You must know the aristocratic habits.

This time the goal is extraordinary. I am ready to scapegoat.As long as the few of you are not caught on the spot, nothing will happen."

Seeing the seriousness said by the old man, Alexei's relaxed expression ceased to exist.They are not the first time to be a killer, but the old man's serious expression is the first time.

Alexey asked doubtfully: "I don't understand. Isn't it just a Prussian diplomat, who offended him and would have to pay a large price to get rid of him?"

The old man said with a long heart: "Warning you again, to do what we know, the more curiosity you die, the faster you die.

It ’s not easy for me to train a few of you. I do n’t want to see you die early in life. After finishing this big one, we will not owe each other. You are free people."

Obviously the pseudonym they used, the old man looks a lot of age, in fact, all makeup, the real age is not old.

As a member of the Franz Intelligence Organization, or specializing in killing, Andre naturally cannot reveal his true identity.

The Alexis are the killers trained by Andre, who had also borrowed the homicide bill before.This mission is very important, and these outside lines of development can only be abandoned.

Bismarck is a minister of a country. Once he was assassinated in St. Petersburg, the tsarist government will definitely not give up and stop the murderers. They cannot explain to the international community.

This kind of thing can't be related to Austria, so it can only be done by this kind of outside line that has not been included in the intelligence organization. Anyway, even if it fails, these killers know nothing.

Buying murder, everyone will only think of Bismarck's enemy, who knows that Franz, who has nothing to do with it, will plan this unrelated murder?

Even if it were to be assassinated, anyway, it would assassinate a higher identity. Bismarck, even if it was an obstacle, was obviously not enough to be specially valued by Franz.

...

In the palace, Bismarck and Prince Alexander had a great conversation. Since the Prussian government was willing to subdue, the conflict between the two countries was resolved.

The Tsarist government also wanted to change the situation of isolation on the European continent. The Russian-Austrian alliance was obviously not enough. It would be almost the same if it was pulled into the Kingdom of Prussia.

Once the alliance of the three countries is established, the European hegemony of the Tsarist government is stabilized, instead of just reluctantly maintaining the reputation of the dominant hegemon, but the actual influence is limited to Northeast Europe.

With the support of Crown Prince Alexander, Bismarck returned with satisfaction. The first step in improving relations between the two countries was considered a step forward.

The carriage squeaked on the snow and moved forward slowly.Bismarck's good mood was gone. The weather in the Russian Empire was too bad. In April, there was still snow on the ground, which made him very uncomfortable.

Time passed by one minute and one second, crossing street after street, and finally got home.Bismarck just got out of the carriage.

"Boom ..."

The gunshots sounded, and the bullets were flying towards him, and he was shot before he could avoid him.

After hearing the gunshots, the guards in the embassy ran out quickly. At this time, the killer had disappeared.
