C1842 A mighty Frenchman (1/2)
The Prussian intelligence officer who had followed Pierre had originally planned to meet Pierre at the Iron Anchor Bar and wait for the Italian warship to pick him up. They would go directly into the Otranto Strait and then head north to Venice, where they would take the train north to Prussia.
As long as they entered the Prussian-controlled area, Pierre's safety would be assured. The Franco-Prussian War had yet to begin, and France was still the ruler of the continental Europe. The small countries of Central and Western Europe did not dare to provoke France.
Nothing is safe as long as you don't go back to Prussia.
”What?” To the Balkans? Walk within the sphere of influence of the Austria? Sorry, we did not have such a choice in our plan, it was too risky! Although the war between us and the Austria has ended, the relationship between us is still very delicate. We cannot take this risk! ”
At the most critical moment, Prussian's stubborn character started to cause trouble again. In the hearts of these Iron-Blood soldiers who pursued order, order came first, and change and randomness were annoying.
At the moment, many other countries in Europe were very popular as a joke about the Prussian. For example, when Europeans greeted each other, the British would say how the weather was today and the French would talk about the red wine and the most popular costumes.
And when Prussian met him, it was as if he was filled with iron will. They would directly ask him, ”Is order still in order?” Only the order remained for them to feel at ease.
Pierre, clutching his lifeblood purse, said anxiously, ”Now we must take the risk! Since the French have accurate knowledge of my whereabouts and have even set up such an assassination plot in the Athens, it means that my journey in the Suez Canal has already been leaked out! ”
”This time's assassination attempt did not use a gun, but a group of rogues. This means that the Athens's side is very anxious to get the information, they do not have time to prepare … Yes, it must be like that, because the actions of those assassins are completely devoid of formality … ”
”It should be a temporarily hired rogue killer, not a true French intelligence elite...” The second tier should be arriving soon, do not hesitate, these Frenchmen know the importance of the information in my hands, they already hate us! ”
”He will not care about anything else! The French will hunt us down! ”Don't count on the Italians. The French are really crazy. The Italians can't take the pressure!”
At this moment, he was in the outer seas of Athens. From where he was standing, he could vaguely see that on the blue high seas above the Acropolis City's Acropolis City's mountains, a serious accident had suddenly occurred.
The destroyer Athlete from Italy was suddenly cut on the starboard side by a French frigate, the Thunder God, who had suddenly changed directions.
The huge sails caught the sea breeze, and the firm teak sides clashed together, causing violent friction. Broken wood flew into the air, and people's ears were filled with miserable shrieks. The entire sea was filled with white stubble and sawdust.
”Damn it!” How did you Italians get on the boat? ”Why don't you give way …”
”Go to hell! You Frenchmen who go to hell, it was you who suddenly turned around. Are you going to murder me? ”
Both sides were at loggerheads. Some of them even took out their rifles and aimed at each other. The sea was filled with French and Italian curses.
The merchant ships and Greek fishermen in the distance saw this and fled, afraid that the gunfire would hit the city fish.
