Watching Duke Alexander leave his office proudly, Schwarzenberg's eyes turned red. When the door to the office was closed, he let out a dragon's roar.
With the sound of documents, ink bottles and other utensils being overturned and smashed, Schwarzenberg gasped and sat back in his chair.
He was furious, but he also knew that venting to the office was pointless. As long as the murderers continued to act, his pressure would increase.
He knew that he had to find a way to change the passive situation and catch the murderer, even one. As long as he caught one, as long as it was proved that the murderer was not a Polish rag, he knew that the situation would be completely reversed, and then it would be his turn to find him.
Prince Alexander is in trouble.
Schwarzenberg believed that this day would not be too far away, because as long as the assassins continued their activities, there would be a day when they failed. He had to make arrangements carefully. It was time to keep an eye on the remaining scoundrels of Neserrodie. I believe
The assassin's target must still be them!
Just when Schwarzenberg braced himself to make elaborate arrangements and kill all the assassins, the door to the office was slammed open, and his secretary rushed in in panic.
"Your Excellency, something serious has happened!"
Schwarzenberg's heart skipped a beat, and a bad feeling suddenly arose: Could it be that those assassins had taken action again, and were getting ahead again? If the counselor or secretary died again, he would not be able to appeal to Russia.
There is no way I can explain it to Neserrode!
"Damn!" Schwarzenberg wanted to slap himself a few times. He shouldn't have just vented his anger. He had already made arrangements immediately, so he jumped up from the chair and asked:
"Are they those assassins again? Who was killed this time?"
The secretary looked at him in horror, wondering how his boss could predict it in advance. He nodded in confusion and said: "Yes, they are taking action again!"
Schwarzenberg asked impatiently: "Who was killed? Tell me quickly! Which counselor or secretary was it?"
The secretary hurriedly replied: "Duke Alexander Gorchakov was assassinated. On the way back, the murderer shot at his carriage and threw bombs. A large number of leaflets were scattered at the scene..."
Schwarzenberg was dumbfounded because he never imagined that it was Duke Alexander who was assassinated, because it didn't make sense! That Duke was the mastermind behind the scenes, okay? What's going on?
But Schwarzenberg immediately became happy again. It would be a good thing if Duke Alexander died. Without this difficult Duke, Austria's interests would be greatly protected. Although it would be a big deal to explain to Russia
problem, but if you lower your attitude and have Neschelrod help to make peace? It shouldn’t be a big problem!
Suddenly Schwarzenberg felt refreshed again? He replied happily: "Really? This news is so surprising. His Excellency the Duke has encountered an accident? Is this a huge loss? As his
My friend, I feel extremely sad? We must act immediately..."
Schwarzenberg kept talking there, making his secretary really anxious? But he didn't have the guts to interrupt his boss? He waited until the thing was finished beeping, and then he reminded him in a low voice: "
Your Excellency, Prince Alexander is still alive..."
"Alive?"
Schwarzenberg was dumbfounded, or was he disappointed? But he seemed to think of something and said immediately: "Is the injury serious? Is the situation serious? No? The doctors outside are unreliable, and the best doctor must be hired for the Duke.
He must be treated by our best doctors, and we must not let those quack doctors touch him!"
It was obvious that this guy had bad intentions, probably hoping that Duke Alexander would die of his injuries before the doctor he sent took over. However, his secretary once again shattered his hopes: "The Duke did not suffer too much."
Serious injury? Just frightened..."
Schwarzenberg scolded her directly: "Then why didn't you tell me earlier!"
The little secretary is aggrieved, he wants to say it? But you have to give him a chance to speak!
It's just that Schwarzenberg has no intention of paying attention to his secretary, because the grim reality is right in front of him? The Russian ambassador was openly assassinated. Is this a big deal? Especially after Russian diplomats were assassinated one after another.
? This is simply adding fuel to the fire or adding insult to injury.
Anyway, Schwarzenberg knew? Next, he was going to be verbally attacked by Duke Alexander again, and this time he couldn’t and didn’t dare to talk back. Who made the Duke also become a victim!
When he thought of this, Schwarzenberg had a splitting headache, and his heart beat wildly without any rhythm, making him feel so depressed that he almost collapsed without taking a breath.
The assassination of Duke Alexander was naturally a good show staged by Li Xiao. The reason is very simple. Neserrodie's three henchmen were killed one after another. Even if the Poles were deliberately allowed to take the blame, it was too much of a coincidence.
Anyone with a little bit of brains will suspect that there is something wrong here, and that there is something wrong with Duke Alexander. Of course, there is really nothing that can be done about Duke Alexander without evidence, but for some people, it doesn’t matter whether they have evidence or not, as long as it makes him unhappy and makes him suspicious.
, the consequences are very serious.
This person is Nicholas I. For him, he will definitely suspect that Duke Alexander has a problem. This is 100%. Who makes him suspicious in the first place? These cases have benefited Duke Alexander from beginning to end. He is very natural.
People would think that Duke Alexander was up to something in order to covertly realize the Duke's political intentions.
This is the same as before when old Adlerberg knew that he wanted Alexei to be the governor but still insisted on pushing his own son. It was even a bit worse.
It was inevitable that Duke Alexander would be branded as unreliable and disobedient in Nicholas I's mind. Nicholas I could reuse such a person!
To put it bluntly, it is not impossible to do this, but the consequences are a bit serious. Politically speaking, it is picking sesame seeds and losing watermelon. Naturally, with the IQs of Li Xiao and Duke Alexander, they certainly cannot do such stupid things, right?
So we had to come up with a trick to get Duke Alexander out, making people think that these cases were really being exported by the Polish Zionists. While achieving the goal of counterattacking Neserrodie, we could not lose the trust of Nicholas I.
.
Anyway, this trick worked quite well, at least the news spread back to St. Petersburg. When Nicholas I heard the news that Duke Alexander was also assassinated and injured, all his previous doubts were dispelled, and instead he was deeply concerned about the Polish footbath.
