After giving some advice to Christine and Charlotte, William let the two leave. The aftermath of the duel between Carl and Ernst came faster than William imagined.
After Ernst failed in the duel, he regarded this as a great humiliation. After several days of cultivation, Ernst actually brought his own team of guards to Carl's Palace in Brandenburg.
An ambush was set up on the road. Ernst had learned about Carl's itinerary through the purchase of the informant, and then Carl did join the network.
Although the bullets shot from several directions did not penetrate the carriage carriage where Carl was riding, the glass on the windows of the carriage were all broken. Unfortunately, the fragments of these glass were actually pulled out on Carl's face.
A gorgeous scar.
The first thing I learned about Carl was not William but Anna. After Carl arrived, Anna not only summoned him in the palace every day, but also specially sent a team of guards to protect Carl's safety, but she did not expect to do so.
Carl was still plotted against.
Anna immediately found William who was handling business and asked William to immediately order the murderer to be arrested to avenge Carl.
"William, on the streets of Brandenburg, someone openly assassinated the Austrian prince. This is not only a provocation to Austria, but also a blatant disregard for us Prussia. We must use the most harsh means to suppress these thugs.
!”
When Anna told William about the incident, William's head was almost bigger. Although there was clear evidence, does it still need to think about who ambushed Carl? In this case, William would not handle it well.
It will affect the relationship between Prussia, Britain and Austria, and at the same time it will cause Prussia's reputation to plummet internationally. As Annan said, openly ambushing on Brandenburg Street, this is a completely naked slap in the face!
"Okay, I will deal with this matter. You can calm down Carl's emotions now."
After Anna left, William immediately summoned Elstner and Prussian Justice Lucas.
"Elstner. You should immediately give a note to the British government for this matter. If the British do not give me a satisfactory answer, then the agreement we reached with the British will be invalid!"
After William explained the cause and effect of the matter clearly, he immediately assigned his tasks to the two important Prussian officials.
After hearing William's words, Elstener asked hesitantly:
"Your Majesty, are you considering it again? And by abolishing our previous agreement with the British, it will be very unfavorable for our country."
"Idiot, I asked you to take this posture, and I didn't let you repeal the previous agreements with the British as soon as I started, but if things really came to that point, then you don't have to panic. The British were openly in Brandon
The shooting on Fort Street is completely despising our Prussian dignity, so you have to show the courage of our Prussian men and let the British give in!”
"I understand your Majesty!"
Elstener, who received William's approval letter, immediately had a backbone in his heart, and then said goodbye to William and left the room.
William turned to Lucas and said:
"I don't have to worry about Elstener, but Lucas, you need to cooperate with Elstener. After you leave the palace immediately, you immediately organize people to arrest the suspect in this case. Remember to be sure
To understand the whole story, I will allow you to arrest the British prince if necessary, but you must produce flawless evidence!”
Carl's guards reacted very quickly. Just when Carl's carriage was attacked, they had immediately surrounded the carriage and quickly filled the weapon with ammunition.
After seeing the defense around the carriage, Ernst frowned. Although he was a little unwilling to give up, he still issued an order to retreat.
Ernst was not a fool. He knew that there was a shooting on the streets of Brandenburg, and the Prussians would definitely not sit idly by. Besides, he had no intention of killing Carl.
A prince, and a favored prince, was killed. How could Austria be willing to give in? It is conceivable that if things come to that point, either the British sacrifice Ernst or the two countries go to war. This kind of thing is naturally not a favor.
Ste was willing to see it, so his action this time just hopes to teach Carl a lesson.
As a prince, Ernst naturally knew how excellent the performance of the carriages in the upper class were. Although there were no bulletproof cars in this era, the carriage equipped with steel plates and corks was equivalent to the bulletproof cars of later generations.
As the upper class, basically everyone's carriage is processed.
Therefore, after quickly evacuating the scene, Ernst rushed back to the British Embassy. When McClell in the embassy saw Ernst rushing back, he was still confused, but he was ignorant of Ernst.
Didn't ask much about the action.
But when the Prussians came to him soon, McClellan was stunned.
"His Excellency McClellan, can you please tell me that Prince Ernst of your country be there?"
"His Highness Elstall, what's the matter with Prince Ernst? Maybe I can announce it on my behalf."
"That's right, Your Excellency McClass, according to our country's investigation, His Highness Prince Ernst is related to a shooting that occurred in Mahatha in front of the palace in the morning. His Majesty the King of our country has entrusted him to come down to negotiate with your country about this matter!
”
Ignoring the shocked look on McClass's face, Elstener acted and was about to walk to the floor above the embassy. After a while of shock, McClass rushed to Elstener's face.
Blocked his action.
"His Excellency Elster, I wonder if there is any misunderstanding in your country? You must know that Prince Ernst has always been a model of nobles, so how could it be involved in an inexplicable shooting? So what must be included in it?
Misunderstand!"
"His Excellency McClellan, do you know who the victims of the shooting are?"
McClan shook his head blankly.
Seeing McClane's movements, Elstener's face instantly formed a layer of frost.
"The victim of the shooting is the younger brother of Queen Anna, my country, His Highness Carl of Austria. I think you should understand!"
After hearing the victim's name, McClane's expression immediately became stunned, and in just two seconds, his face turned completely pale.
The duel between Carl and Ernst has been spread throughout Brandenburg, and now Carl is attacked on the streets of Brandenburg. It is believed that the first suspect must be Ernst, but McClass must not
Let Ernst be the suspect in the case. Because he knew that once Ernst was really considered to be related to this matter, it would be a devastating impact on the reputation of the British royal family, but there is a more important issue now
"His Excellency Elster, I wonder how His Highness Carl is injured?"
"Haha, I think His Highness Carl will definitely thank His Excellency McClan for his concern. Under God's protection, His Highness Carl only suffered some minor injuries, but this matter has already made Queen Anna angry. The Queen asked me to find out the truth.
So I had to come to your embassy to disturb you."
After hearing that Carl was only slightly injured, McClane breathed a sigh of relief. Then McClane's brain turned quickly, and he knew that the most important thing at the moment was to pick Ernst out of this matter.
"His Excellency Elstner, if you want to see Prince Ernst, please wait here and spread it to you. Of course, if His Highness the Prince doesn't see you, there is no way."
After McClane said that, he stared at Elstener. As for McClane's actions, Elstener just shrugged and followed the attendant in the British embassy with the support of a group of followers.
living room.
Although the current embassies of various countries do not have diplomatic immunity and ownership of land like later embassies, Ernst is a prince after all, and the nobles circulating in Europe made the Prussian side not come up with definite evidence.
In the case, there is no right to arrest a prince.
McClane walked quickly outside Ernst's door and pushed open Ernst's door despite the guard's obstruction.
"Your Highness, although I don't know what you did in the morning, the Prussians have come to you now. You must inform you about this matter so that you can deal with the Prussians!"
Although McClane had already accumulated a lot of anger in his heart, when he really faced Ernst, his anger could only be kept in his heart. After all, Ernst's identity cannot be scolded by him.
Although Britain is a constitutional monarchy, the current British royal family has not become the so-called royal family that has become a mascot in the later generations. In addition to being unable to overturn the decisions made by the parliament collectively, a considerable part of the rights are still in the hands of the king.
This even includes the right to appoint and remove the Prime Minister.
"Okay, McClellan, it's not a big deal to not panic, it's just giving that kid Carl a little bit of awesomeness."
In front of McClellan, Ernst would not show the worry in his heart.
Not to mention the dialogue between McClellan and Ernst, after France, Spain and Austria negotiated the colony transaction, the three countries decided to officially re-dividate the colony in January 1791 next year, and this situation was also
It filled the UK with an unusual smell.
France's rejection of Britain's demands means that it is impossible for the British to obtain those colonies by peaceful means, and in a few months the colonies will belong to Austria and Spain. The Austrians and the British may not care, after all, Austria
There is no decent navy.
But Spain, although Spain has declined, it is difficult to ensure that Spain will not regain its vitality after obtaining the French colonies. As Spain's former mortal enemy, how could the British be willing to watch Spain embark on the road to revival?
