Chapter 293: Bureaucratic approach

Hermitage
Upon receiving the news that Bismarck was assassinated, Nicholas I was instantly angry. A state minister was assassinated in St. Petersburg, which was beating his face.
"Check, give me a full investigation, you have to find the killer!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The Minister of Police replied hastily.
After a pause, Nicholas I asked, "Did Bismarck die?"
Because of the coldness of the relationship between the two countries, Bismarck's face, Nicholas I, had never been seen, and naturally he was not concerned about his life.
But the situation is different now. If Bismarck is not dead, then there is still room for manoeuvre, as long as the murderer is caught.
If they die, then the Russians will become a laughing stock internationally. Even foreign envoys are not well protected, and the British may not give up.
Dumanov, the Minister of Police, replied: "Bismarck was hit with three shots and is being rescued. Because the delay is too long, the chance of survival is not high."
...
Obviously, this is preparing to shake the pot. Dumanov was also very angry about Bismarck's assassination. For him, this was nothing wrong.
If he was assassinated in another area, it would be a matter of public order and he would recognize it. However, the situation is different at the entrance of the Prussian embassy. The police of the Tsarist government usually do not go to the entrances of embassies of various countries.
Because of the nature of the bureaucracy, he also pushed out responsibility. The excuses have already been found out. The security of the Prussian embassy is their own responsibility. This kind of incident happened. The guards did not respond, which was because they were incompetent.
Unscrupulously, this may also be an internal struggle for power in the Kingdom of Prussia, or it may have been orchestrated by Bismarck's enemies. If it is collusion inside and out, then it is much more reasonable.
In this way, his responsibility is much lighter. Everyone's attention has shifted to the internal fighting of the Kingdom of Prussia, and the international pressure of the Tsarist government has been reduced.
In addition to the Royal Palace, the Marquis Dumanov began to find evidence to support his excuses.
As soon as he returned to the office, he received news of Bismarck's death. Immediately after, there was good news, the suspect was arrested.
The Marquis Dumanov asked with concern: "Is the identity of the suspect determined?"
The assistant replied solemnly: "The preliminary judgment is that the members of the Polish independent organization. The bullet models that appeared on the scene of the crime were the same as those found by the arrested suspects.
These weapons and ammunition are all handmade, not mechanically produced, and are commonly used by independent Polish organizations.
According to a preliminary review, they acknowledged that the invasion of St. Petersburg was aimed at assassination of senior officials in our country, creating chaos and creating opportunities for Poland's independence.
It is said that there are more than one such action group. The Kingdom of Prussia also occupied Polish territory, and it was not surprising that Bismarck was targeted. "
After thinking for a while, Marquis Dumanov said solemnly: "Now the pressure of public opinion is very bad for us, and we immediately informed the information we have in our hands, remembering that the killer was the Polish independent organization.
It was also told to the reporter that there might be traitors in the Prussian embassy. Only under the collusion of their internal and external ambassadors Bismarck was assassinated.
And because of the traitor, Bismarck did not rush to the hospital for treatment in time, which led to his death.
Let reporters compile the specific details. Anyway, we do n’t have the right to ask questions within the Prussian Embassy. We will notify the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to send them a letter and let the Prussians do their own investigation. "
It is not important whether it is fake or not. Marquis Dumanov did not want to memorize it. The results of the investigation are enough.
It's not a day or two that Polish independent organizations are doing things in the Russian Empire. They usually do things in Poland, and it's not surprising that they now travel to St. Petersburg.
There were not so many detective tools in this era, and it is very difficult to find out the ins and outs of things. The bite was determined by the Polish, and the cooperation of the traitor, then the Prussian government was pulled into the water.
If they continue to bite the issue, they will not escape the relationship themselves, and the Berlin government is afraid to continue to expand the problem.
This is related to the national issue in the country. After all, the number of Poles in the Kingdom of Prussia is quite large, close to the fourth floor of the total population.
After assimilating it, it is easy to provoke ethnic conflicts if we continue to make trouble on this issue.
The Marquis Dumanov thought that everything had been taken into account, hello, hello, everyone, and things passed.
Berlin
After receiving the news of Bismarck's assassination, the regent William Frederick Ludwig didn't have much feeling. Anyway, everyone had a bad relationship, and sadness and sadness didn't exist.
He even has a little bit of ecstasy, and this opportunity can make Russia bleed. After all, the victims also need to be appeased. Without their cooperation, this matter would not be so easy to complete.
Foreign Minister Andrea said with a grimace, "His Royal Highness, I have just received a briefing from the Russians. It is said that the murderer was an independent Polish organization. They think it has something to do with domestic political struggles. Let us conduct a self-examination of the Embassy. Please look over the details. "
In the same way, interpretation by people with different identities naturally means different meanings.
Undercurrents are now flowing inside the Kingdom of Prussia, and with the fall of Frederick William IV, a round of shuffling is underway within the government.
Once proved, some people in the Prussian embassy colluded with the assassins, and it was another political earthquake, which was very detrimental to the newly regent William Friedrich Ludwig.
The principle of political struggle is to fight without breaking. In the struggles within European governments, there have been very few serious incidents of buying murder. Once it happens, it will be resisted by everyone.
The Russian panhandling operation is clearly not acceptable to William Friedrich Ludwig, which means that the political struggle in the Kingdom of Prussia has broken the bottom line.
The more he looked, the more angry he was, and he guessed that there was a traitor in the Prussian embassy based on speculation. Obviously, the Russians were perfunctory.
The killer of Bismarck was an independent Polish organization. This statement was barely acceptable. At any rate, he also caught a few suspects. The special weapons and ammunition found could be counted as evidence.
This is the scapegoat chosen by Franz's intelligence organization, and naturally leaves clues. In order to close the case quickly, the bureaucrats of the Tsarist government naturally will not let go of these "evidence".
The claim that the so-called rescue is not timely and that there is traitor is purely nonsense.
The assassination of the ambassador is so big that confusion will definitely occur on the scene. When everyone responds, it will obviously take time to send to the hospital for treatment.
In fact, everyone is delaying for more than ten minutes, including the time of simple bandaging. How can it be regarded as a deliberate delay in treatment?
Based on this speculation, there is a traitor in the Prussian embassy, ​​which is even more nonsense. In his view, it was the Russians who deliberately provoked contradictions within the Kingdom of Prussia.
The issue of the assassination of Bismarck by the Polish independent organization is not large. If the assimilated Poles are also involved, and they are still government officials, then the problem will be big.
This means that the assimilated Poles have not yet given up their independence and are mingled with the Polish Independent Organization. If the problem is amplified, it will inevitably make the Poles and the government centrifugal.
William Frederick Ludwig angrily said: "Tell the Russians that we need an account. Don't let this general and possible reason perfunctory, the Kingdom of Prussia will not accept such nonsense reasons."
Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrea opposes: "His Royal Highness, let's do a self-examination first! We are not sure whether the Russians are accurate, and they also have members of the Polish Independent Organization.
If someone really colludes with the Polish independent organization and the evidence falls into the hands of the Russians, then it can only be played down. "
The Kingdom of Prussia has assimilated the Polish people in the country. Andrea does not think that they will be mixed with the Polish independent organization. Even if there are only a few, they cannot represent everyone.
In contrast, some people in the government participated in this operation, and it is more likely to take the opportunity to kill Bismarck.
The political struggle is cruel, and in order to attack the opponent, it is not a big deal to play with a sword and kill people.
We must know that the Prussian government and the Polish independent organization have always been linked. During the Revolution, anti-Russians advocated supporting Poland's independence, restraining the Russians, and focusing on unifying the German region.
Although unsuccessful in the end, this connection has never been broken. Now the anti-Russians in the country are collaborating with the Polish independent organization to kill Bismarck and prevent the two countries from moving closer.
Because it involves ethnic conflicts, the government is doomed to downplay it. The investigation can only be conducted in secret, and the risk of exposure is reduced.
Moreover, there are still Bismarck's enemies in Prussia. It is not surprising to take this opportunity to kill him. This "enemy" is not only a political enemy, but also personal hatred, which adds to the complexity of the matter.
In the opinion of Prince William Friedrich Ludwig, the Russians were very nonsense, but in the eyes of Andrea it became the truth.
With so many places to assassinate, why should you choose to be at the gate of the embassy? If no one cooperates, how can you leave the battlefield quickly after the killing?
