On July 7, 1793, William and Vivian had dinner together in a small roadside restaurant in the evening. Today was definitely a very meaningful day for William.
At this moment, the small restaurant has been booked. Although the decoration of this small restaurant was quite romantic and warm, there were still many diners in the small restaurant, but
After Vivian took a fancy to this restaurant and prepared to eat, the rest of the people who were eating here naturally wanted to move their positions for William and the others. This is the naked manifestation of power.
The owner of the small restaurant presented the signature dishes in the restaurant to these two distinguished guests in fear. This restaurant is quite famous in Cologne, otherwise Vivian would not have heard of the name of the restaurant, but more importantly
This restaurant is a couples restaurant, and the food is placed on a plate.
This innovation is undoubtedly sought after by a considerable number of young couples, and this small restaurant has become the first choice for famous couples to eat in Cologne. Of course, although the power of the church has been greatly weakened, as
In a bishop’s territory, Cologne’s religious atmosphere is still quite strong. So there are not many young people who can openly dine in this restaurant.
A large meal plate that was obviously inconsistent with the dining table was served on the dining table. The food placed on the dining table was not very luxurious, but the shape of the food was very delicate, and there were even a few on the corners of the dining table.
Petals embellish.
................
After a dinner, William sent Vivian to the edge of the street at the entrance of the Emperor's Palace in Cologne. Then at Vivian's request, William walked beside Vivian and enjoyed the fragrance from the girl beside him.
And the smell of love that fills the air.
The soldiers and maids following behind the two did not follow each other without eyes open. Therefore, when they were about to reach the gate of the palace, only the two were strolling on the street.
Suddenly, at this moment, a huge sound of wheels came toward the gate of the palace. William turned around and saw a carriage pulled by four horses rushing to the level composed of Prussian soldiers.
"Stop it!"
Although the Prussian soldiers were shouting loudly, the owner of the carriage obviously ignored the Prussian soldiers' orders, and saw that he continued to rush towards the gate of the Emperor's Palace without any intention of slowing down the horse.
William was stunned, and then he didn't care about saying anything to Vivian, and hurriedly grabbed Vivian's hand and ran towards the gate of the palace. At this moment, the two were about 100 meters away from the gate of the palace.
distance.
If William ran alone, then this distance of more than 100 meters does not take much time for William, but the key is that William holds Vivian in his hand, how could he throw Vivian away?
An, run away alone.
The reason why William did this was not because William was timid, but because when William was stunned, he heard gunshots. But obviously, the gunshots could not stop the carriage, which made William feel bad.
After the carriage broke through the blockade of the Prussian soldiers, four or five rifles suddenly stretched out from the window of the carriage carriage, and the muzzles of these rifles aimed at William without exception.
The Cologne guards who had noticed something was wrong were also running towards William and the others, but just as the guards were about to arrive by William, they saw the carriage quickly pulling William into William's distance. In just a blink of an eye
In between, when the carriage had reached a parallel position with William, only gunfire sounded from the carriage.
The weapon that had been aimed at William before opened fire at this time.
"Bang, bang, bang!!!"
The carriage did not slow down because the people in the carriage fired. On the contrary, the carriage maintained a high-speed forward speed and did not slow down even when it was around William. After the gunshot, it turned towards the street.
Escape from the side.
William was shot and two bullets hit William. In an instant, blood surged out of William's chest, and William, who was in the running position, fell to the ground!
Seeing William falling, the entire gate of the Emperor's Palace suddenly became in chaos. After seeing William falling, Hornde's pupils suddenly shrank several times after seeing him.
Not only William fell to the ground, Vivian was not spared. The beautiful princess was hit on the back. After William fell, Vivian also fell to William.
Later that day, the entire Cologne was woken up from his sleep, and teams of Prussian troops appeared on the streets of Cologne, and the surrounding area of the Emperor's Palace became the main area for the Prussian army to be martial law. The streets were already
The Prussians have been cleared out, and all the families with carriages at home have been broken into the door and inspected by the Prussian army. As for those who are still wandering on the streets so late, they are even arrested by these soldiers who are anxious and red-eyed.
Entered the prison in Cologne.
Maximilian was going to protest against such extreme actions by the Prussians, but Hornder said coldly to him:
"His Majesty the King was assassinated in the City of Cologne! It is necessary for us to suspect that some people in the City of Cologne are the murderers who assassinated His Majesty the King of our country!"
Looking at Hornd's cold expression, Maximilian understood that the Prussians obviously could not give in to this issue, and although William was assassinated today rather than tomorrow, it was beyond Maximilian's expectation,
But Maximilian must have a ghost in his heart. He was afraid that if he showed his flaws and was caught by the Prussians, he did not continue to stop the Prussians from acting.
Some people may ask, since they are afraid that Prussia will find clues, why did the Prussians make the whole city? You should know that sometimes the more they stop, the more they will be suspicious. If Maximilian firmly stops the Prussians from acting, then
I'm afraid the Prussians' suspicion will immediately become Maximilian.
William was placed in a palace in the palace, and Vivian was also arranged in the room next to William.
William's situation is not optimistic at this moment. Two shots hit William's bullets, one shot hit William's waist and the other shot hit William's chest directly. It is obvious that he can shoot in a high-speed carriage so accurately, it is obvious that
These people are good at it.
Hond and Carlo stayed by William's side all night, but although the doctor stopped the bleeding from William's wound and fed William some medicine, William still couldn't wake up.
"Carlo, do you think we need to report the situation here to Brandenburg?"
To be honest, except for such a big thing, Horned was really unsure. As the royal chief, Horned was the last line of defense guarding William's side, but now William has someone to assassinate him, which means Horned has not
Be responsible for what you should have taken!
If this incident was passed back to Brandenburg, then it is conceivable that Horned would have to bear all the anger of the entire Hohenzollern royal family and the Prussian government!
Carlo, who was standing beside Hornd, looked also tangled. Because William and Vivian were dating, Carlo was not with William. After all, no man would bring his own when he was dating another woman.
Brother-in-law. Even if this brother-in-law’s sister is just his mistress.
It was precisely because of this consideration that Carlo was very sensible these days and did not follow William. But now looking at William lying on the bed, Carlo felt that all his strength seemed to have been drained.
The medical officer has diagnosed that if William suffered a serious gunshot wound, the bullet could almost hit the center. Whether William can survive now can only depend on God's will, and because of the limitations of the times
The mortality rate of such serious injuries even reached 90%.
Thinking of William's death, Carlo's body covered in cold sweat. The cold sweat was not only for William but also for Carlo's own family.
As early as last night when I was staying in front of William, Carlo had already thought that if William really died, it would be no less than a bolt from the blue for the Hans family! William died, then Anna was born to William.
The boy would definitely become the king of Prussia, and there was no doubt that William's younger brother Ludwig could not threaten the status of the child.
Just think about this question carefully and you will understand that the people who are now at the Prussian top management obviously will not want the Prussian crown to fall on Ludwig's head. After all, William already has a successor, even if this successor is still
Small, but for those politicians isn't this what they want to see the most.
If William's children ascend the throne, their power will reach its peak within at least a decade before the child's personal expedition. If Ludwig is allowed to become king, then it is obvious that the adult king will not be so easy to be merciless.
.
If that child becomes the king of Prussia, Anna, who is noble by her mother, will inevitably gain great authority. It is not impossible to become the regent of Prussia. After all, in Europe, the monarch was temporarily regent by his mother before he became a minor.
It has become an iron-like law.
It can be foreseeable that once Anna gets a high position, Karina, Du Li and others, who are currently in Anna's competitors, and their family will inevitably become the targets of Anna's killer. Facing the regent Queen Mother, Karina,
What can Du Li and Lilisa fight against each other? Although Hans and Locks are deeply rooted in the Prussian intelligence and government departments, don’t forget that the Prussian army is only loyal to the Hohenzollern royal family! Even
It was impossible for Hans and Locks to reach into the Prussian army.
"Mr. Hornder, I think it is better not to inform Brandenburg for the moment, otherwise, if the fear of the people and the panic of the army will be a disaster for the whole of Prussia!
Forget that our country is still in the war!”
Why did Hond ask Carlo if he would send the news back to Brandenburg? The reason is actually very simple. Although Carlo has now left the Prussian intelligence service, and after arriving in Cologne, Carlo was even more popular with William.
He personally appointed as the commander of the First Infantry Regiment of the Royal Guards.
In terms of position, Carlo is Hornder's subordinate, and Hornder, as a superior, didn't need to ask Hornder at first, just need to make up his own mind. After all, Hornder is currently in Cologne except William.
Supreme Leader of the Prussian Army.
As William divided the royal intelligence agencies and the national intelligence agencies, the royal intelligence organizations in Horned only monitored the internal Prussia. All intelligence tasks for Prussia were handed over to the Prussian Intelligence Department under Hans.
In recent years, the Intelligence Department, which has received considerable attention from William, has set up intelligence branches in more than 90% of cities in Europe. Although William has not told Hornder, it is obvious that there must be branches of the Intelligence Department in Cologne.
It is very important to come to Carlo.
If the information that William was stabbed and seriously injured was sent back to Brandenburg, then the quickest way was to use the channels of the sub-branch of the Prussian Intelligence Department in the city to send a message to Brandenburg, and if it was not to Brandenburg
If the message is sent by Fort, Hornder must obtain Carlo's approval, otherwise Hornder's agreement will be useless. After all, if Carlo wants to send the news back to Brandenburg, he can use the information.
The department will conduct it through channels without the consent of Hornder.
Hearing Carlo's words, Hond was a little relieved. Hond actually didn't want to pass the news back to Brandenburg, because once Brandenburg learned that William was seriously injured and unconscious,
Then the first one who was unlucky must be Horned. William would be able to wake up. If William had been unconscious and even Long Yuguitian, then Horned would definitely be the one who would be seriously dealt with!
So Hornder hopes to delay for two days. If William can wake up in these two days, it is God that bless him Hornder and Prussia. If William does not wake up, then Hornder has to accept his fate!
However, before this, Horned had another very important task. It was to capture the real murderer who assassinated William and the mastermind behind the scenes. Thinking that it was this damn assassin that might even change his destiny, Horned became
Gripping his teeth, he wished he could tear the murderer into pieces!
Looking at the ferocious expression on Hornder's face, Carlo actually felt quite sympathetic to Hornder. If William was really unfortunate, then Hornder was definitely the first person to be responsible, and the entire Prussia would never let Hornder go. Not only
Hornd himself, and even his family, will be the target of Prussian anger!
"Carlo, I need you to communicate with the intelligence agencies in Cologne. I need them to help me find the murderer who assassinated His Majesty the King!"
After searching for a night, the Prussians did not find any clues except for the unidentified carriage, which made Hornder feel anxious and had to ask Carlo for help.
The royal chief's rights care about the king behind him, and now William is in a coma, so Hond can only turn to the son of the head of the Prussian intelligence agency.
"His Excellency Hornder, I have contacted the intelligence personnel in the city, and I also ask them to find the murderer with their best efforts. Please rest assured of this!"
Hearing Carlo's answer, Horned nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Since that's the case, I'll leave it to you first, and I'll take people to conduct a careful search!"
After saying that, before waiting for Carlo's answer, Hornder walked out quickly.
On July 8, 1794, the whole Cologne was uneasy. The entire Cologne had been martial law. Countless Prussian soldiers patrolled the streets of Cologne, but those who were suspicious were all subject to the Prussian army.
The arrest was then escorted to prison for torture.
Thousands of Prussian soldiers went door to door along the streets of Cologne to inspect the household registration information provided by the Cologne government. Anyone who did not have a Cologne household registration was treated the same as those with suspicious whereabouts and were arrested in prison.
.
In addition, the Cologne Gate is not allowed to enter or exit, but in fact, this order has been issued by Horned last night.
Maximilian was not sure what purpose he was for, and sent all his forces to assist the Prussians in searching the suspects. All the exports of Cologne were blocked, and all the people guarding the exports were Prussians.
Earl of Schwarzburg Ferrede stood at the window and looked at the Prussian soldiers walking through the streets, smiling on his face
"Palaude, you did not disappoint me! This time the arrangement was good. You were able to plan such an assassination in such a short time. Your ability really makes me feel very trustworthy! By the way, Papa
Lauder, have those guys dealt with?"
After standing at the window for a while, Ferred walked elegantly to the sofa and sat down and asked Palaud.
Hearing Ferred's question, Palaud said quickly;
"Your Highness, I have dealt with those people. According to your instructions, all of these people have been thrown into hidden ditches. I think even if the Prussians find the bodies of these people, there is no clue!"
As the number one hawk under Ferreid, it is not the first time Palaudes has done such a thing. He is familiar with it, but in his heart he still feels a little sorry for the elites who have chosen one in a hundred in the Schwarzburg army.
In order to complete this task, Palaud personally selected six people from the Schwarzburg army outside Cologne. These six people can be said to be the elites in the army, each of which is an excellent warrior and sharpshooter.
