Chapter 292: Bismarck

Franz had long thought about Bismarck's starting point. Unfortunately, there are too many people with the same name in Europe. Who doesn't know which is which?
No identity can be determined, and naturally nothing can be done.
When the identity of Bismarck was confirmed, it happened that he was transferred from the representative of the Kingdom of Prussia to Frankfurt to the Minister of the New Holy Roman Empire.
Killing a minister in his own territory is too bad. Political risks are too great, and Franz is not a risk-taker.
Now that Bismarck is transferred to the post of Minister in Russia, the situation is different. As long as you are careful, you will kill if you kill. Even if you are in trouble, the Tsarist government should have a headache.
If possible, he didn't mind killing the Prussian Sanjies together. It is a pity that the other two are in the army and it is difficult to grasp the whereabouts. They can't rush into the barracks and kill them?
Franz didn't think his assassination team was so bullish. He ran to the Prussian kingdom to assassinate an officer. If he was caught, it would be tragedy.
The most threatening is Bismarck. Generals can fight again, and they cannot escape the constraints of national power in the era of hot weapons. In this regard, Franz does not advise.
In contrast, politicians and diplomats are the ones that dominate the fate of the country. Metternich is now there, Bismarck is not high, and Franz is not worried about him doing things.
However, the "European Prime Minister" is old, leaving sooner or later, and the young Bismarck has begun to flourish after William Regency.
Some of the candidates of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the New Holy Roman Empire can only be regarded as ordinary. Franz himself is not a diplomatic expert. In case of inattention, Bismarck can create an anti-Austrian alliance, which is a big trouble .
At present, the strength of the new Holy Roman Empire has not made everyone feel threatened. The comprehensive national strength of the four countries of Britain, Russia, France, and Austria is relatively balanced, even if there is a small gap between them.
But within the next few decades, France will be left behind due to population, and the situation in the Russian Empire is unclear, but Franz does not think that the delayed Russia will be stronger.
In this context, sooner or later, countries will pay attention to the threat of the new Holy Roman Empire. Once the power is unbalanced, the international order will change.
Under normal circumstances, as long as France and Russia do not move closer, Austria should not worry. But if the Kingdom of Prussia were to come in and join together, things would be different.
Bismarck is now serving as Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Empire, which means a change in the foreign policy of the Kingdom of Prussia. They want to restore relations with the Russians.
Prior to this, Bismarck had restored diplomatic relations between the two countries. William Friedrich Ludwig, even though he hated Bismarck very much, still reused him, not without reason.
In Franz's view, this is a sign of danger. Pu-Russian relations have not improved for a long time, that is, he has been destroying it and provoked the confrontation between the two countries. In essence, the contradiction between Pu-Russia and Russia is not inconsistent.
...
St. Petersburg, Bismarck, who has just become Minister of the Russian Empire, is still struggling with how to re-align with Russia.
Bismarck would not take over as Minister in Russia, if it was not for the alliance between the three Nordic courts. After all, this is just a flat tone, not a rising official.
Bismarck instructed: "Prepare the car. I'm going to visit the Crown Prince Alexander."
Tsar government officials generally have little regard for the Kingdom of Prussia, but relations between the royal families of the two countries have always been good.
I don't know what the reason is. The Russian tsars have always had more relatives, and even Peter III, a brain fan. Now Prince Alexander, and future Alexander II, is also a pro-Puist.
This alone is obviously not enough. This closeness to the interests alone is not enough to change the position of the Tsarist government.
There has been a turning point in history. The Russians have not lost European hegemony, so the tsarist government cannot abandon the Kingdom of Denmark. As a hegemon, there must be no younger brother. This has risen to the issue of hegemony.
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 re-established. The Kingdom of Prussia did not have the power to break the rules. Regent William Friedrich Ludwig thought that the best time had been lost. He advocated developing the country first and temporarily abandoning external expansion.
To develop the domestic economy, it is imperative to establish diplomatic relations with other countries. In this context, Bismarck's trip to St. Petersburg.
...
Stepping out of the embassy, ​​Bismarck felt restless, as if something was going to happen. However, at the diplomatic meeting, since the appointment has been made, pigeons cannot be released.
Time passed minute by minute, Bismarck smoothly entered the palace, and nothing seemed to happen.
...
A kind-hearted old man said solemnly: "Alecsai, the news came from the inside just now, the target has gone out, you can prepare.
Everyone has a chance to make a shot, no matter the success or failure, we must leave St. Petersburg tonight. Once the Tsarist government has reacted, you will know the consequences. "
Aleksey said indifferently: "Knowing Andrea, you are still so embarrassed, we can rest assured that we are doing everything. In order to ensure foolproofness, we will stop him at the gate, as long as he is on the carriage, he will not escape.
Andy's old man glared and said, "If you want to live longer in this business, put away your pride, Alexey.
Not only the people in the carriage, but also the chauffeurs and guards are also in the hunting range. You have to know the nobility of the nobles.
The goal this time is extraordinary. I'm ready for a scapegoat. As long as a few of you are not caught on the spot, nothing will happen. "
Seeing the old man said serious, Alexay's relaxed look ceased to exist. It's not the first time for them to be a killer, but the old man's serious expression is the first time.
Aleksey asked puzzledly: "I don't understand, isn't it a Prussian diplomat, who offended someone, and cost him a lot of money?"
The old man said earnestly: "I warn you again, to do what we know, the faster the curiosity dies.
It is not easy for me to train a few of you. I do not want to see you die young early. After finishing this big job, we will not owe each other. You are free people. "
Obviously, the pseudonyms they use seem to be very old, but in fact they are all makeup, and the real age is not very old.
As a member of the Franz intelligence organization, he is still dedicated to killing. Andrei naturally cannot reveal his true identity.
The Aleksey people were all killers trained by Andrei. Before that, they had borrowed a murder order. This task is very important, and the outside lines of these developments can only be abandoned.
Bismarck is a minister of a country. Once assassinated in St. Petersburg, the tsarist government will certainly not give up and stop the killers. They will not be able to explain to the international community.
This kind of thing cannot be related to Austria, so it can only be done by such an outsider who has not yet been included in the intelligence organization. Even if it fails, these killers know nothing.
When buying murder, everyone will only think of Bismarck's enemies. Who knows that Franz, who has nothing to do with it, will plan this unrelated murder?
Even if it is to be assassinated, anyway, it will assassinate the existence of a higher status. Even if Bismarck is an obstacle, it is obviously not enough to be specially valued by Franz.
...
In the palace, Bismarck and the Crown Prince Alexander had a good talk. Now that the Prussian government is willing to serve, the conflict between the two countries can be resolved.
The Tsarist government also wanted to change the situation of isolation on the European continent. The Russian-Australian alliance was obviously not enough. It would be almost as long as the Prussian kingdom was drawn.
Once the three-nation alliance was established, the European hegemony of the Tsarist government was solidified, instead of just being reluctant to maintain the reputation of the dominant hegemony, the actual influence was limited to Northeast Europe.
With the support of the Crown Prince Alexander, Bismarck returned with satisfaction. The first step in improving relations between the two countries was a step forward.
The carriage squeaked in the snow and moved forward slowly. Bismarck's good mood was gone. The weather in the Russian Empire was too bad. It was April and there was still snow on the ground, which made him very uncomfortable.
Time passed minute by minute, and after crossing street after street, finally arrived home. Bismarck had just come out of the carriage.
"Bang bang ..."
The sound of gunfire sounded, and the bullet was already flying towards him. He was shot too late to avoid him.
After hearing the gunfire, the guards in the embassy rushed out, and at this time the killer was nowhere to be found.
