Chapter 720： Great Emperors Crest (1/2)

At the time of the anxiety in the negotiations between Russia and Russia, another incident that affected the political landscape in Europe happened.

On May 15, 1881, Alexander II was assassinated in St. Petersburg. The time and place have changed, but the ending has not changed.

It's not that Franz's butterfly effect is not strong enough. The key is that Alexander II died by himself, knowing that so many people have offended and still walk around.

A few years ago, Alexander II was given the reputation of ”King of Assassinations” by the media with a three-figure number of assassinations.

Being assassinated at both ends for three days, maybe more experience. Alexander II has become accustomed to this life, still his own way, often appear in public places.

The night went too far, but after all I met a ghost. It was so difficult to win the war, and before it was time to harvest the fruits of victory, Alexander II had to regret to die.

Alexander II died, but the assassination case is not over. Regarding the murderer's question, the tsarist government has been slow to give a clear answer.

Assassin's identity on the surface is a member of the opinion party. This statement does not matter whether people believe it or not, Franz will never believe it anyway.

Being able to survive unscathed in hundreds of assassinations, Alexander II's security work was not bad. Normally, a stranger approaching will definitely be intercepted by the guards.

If the assassin rushes to throw a bomb within tens of meters, does the guard eat shit?

Able to mobilize the guards and create opportunities for assassination, obviously there are internal people involved, even the emperor's cronies.

Which side is this? This is not something Franz can determine. Too many people have been offended by the reforms of Alexander II, and many high-profile families have fallen because of the reform.

According to Franz's knowledge, Alexander II was ready to carry out a new round of reforms after the war to change the Russian Empire from the root.

There is no doubt that this also touches on the cheese of the vested interests, and it is understandable that it has been backwashed.

Even those who originally supported the reform stood at the opposite side at this time because they violated their own interests.

Victory on the battlefield, while bringing prestige to Alexander II, also pushed him to hell. The vested interests are reluctant to continue the reform. A czar with high prestige and who likes reform has become a stumbling block for everyone.

Regardless of the reason, ”King Jun” is the thing that rulers can't tolerate most. As one of the vested interests, Franz is no exception.

”What do the Russians say, have you determined the killer?”

Foreign Minister Weissenberg shook his head: ”Not yet. All evidence now points to the Russian People's Will Party, but the Crown Prince Alessandrovich refused to accept the result and made a threat by refusing to succeed.

Now the Tsarist government is also in turmoil. Many people suspect that it was done by conservatives. The two sides are fighting very hard.

According to the information gathered by the embassy, ​​there are still many doubts about the assassination. For example, the head of the guard responsible for the security of Alexander II committed suicide in his home on the day of the incident.

Guards guarding the carriage of Alexander II, committing suicide in prison.

Also, after the assassination of Alexander II, he did not die on the spot, and the next day he was rescued and died. A traffic accident also occurred when the doctor arrived at the scene, delaying rescue time.

... ”

The father was assassinated and died, and it was natural for the son to give up. It was inevitable that Alexandrovich would pursue the murderer.

The investigation team is just interesting, knowing so many doubts, and putting the killer's hat on the head of the ”People's Will Party”, isn't it doubting everyone's IQ?

The Revolutionary Party has the ability to reach into the Tsar Guard, and has long since rebelled against the flag, using assassinations with no technical content?

The subsequent series of sin-fearing suicides is even more nonsense. Some people consciously commit serious crimes, and Franz can understand it. A group of people committed suicide collectively, clearly telling everyone that this was about to die.

When a person dies, the clue is broken. It will certainly not be easy to continue to investigate.

”The Ministry of Foreign Affairs keeps a close watch and does not comment for the time being. The police are ordered to immediately arrest members of the opinion parties operating in Austria and wait for the further development of the case.”

It is a sensitive time, and Austria must avoid suspicion. Although no one suspects that Austria did it, this is obviously not suitable.

The arrest of members of the Popular Party is the position Franz showed to the outside world. Regardless of the reason, the monarch is severely punished.

The Russian People's Will Party was not wronged, and even if they were shot, Alexander II died in their hands.

The assassins have been arrested and confessed that they pointed the shoot directly at the top of the party. They could not do anything about it.

The last assassination case that shocked Europe directly killed the Kingdom of Sardinia, and the raging Italian coal burning party disappeared. This time it was the Russian Popular Party.

It's okay to hide your identity, exposed on the bright side. If you don't respond quickly at this time, you will be out of luck.

No matter what position they stand in, the monarchs of European countries will not tolerate the existence of ”monarch monarchs”. This is a matter of principle.

In fact, when Franz ordered the arrest of members of the Russian Popular Party, European monarchs also issued similar orders.

It doesn't matter if you can't catch it. The members of the Russian Popular Party are naturally in the Russian Empire, and only a handful of people ran outside.
