Author: Seven Years Period

Vienna, Lion Pride Hotel.

When Solomon Rothschild got up early and took the newspaper, he almost spat a mouthful of blood on it.

"The principal dancers of the four major theater troupes resigned at the same time and will form a group to debut." This news filled the front pages of major newspapers, especially the gossip newspapers, which added fuel and jealousy to it and made it beyond recognition, but it is even more eye-catching.

.

At this time, the black market business was Solomon's only stable income besides the bank in Vienna, and the theater was the facade. At this time, the facade of the facade was taken away, how could he not be angry?

But one thing alarmed Solomon: the principal dancers of the four major troupes resigned at the same time. If it was just one family, it was most likely the conspiracy of other families.

But the principal dancers of the four major theater companies were poached at the same time, which means that there is a fifth party who wants to get a piece of the pie in Vienna. At this time, although this behavior has earned enough attention for the debut of the fifth party, it also means that at the same time

Declare war on the four great families.

Anyone who does such a thing is either an idiot or has a huge backing.

From Solomon's past experience, this behavior was no different from suicide, but he had an ominous premonition. Maybe the other party really had enough confidence, just like the Bavarian Mutual Aid Association wiped out the underworld forces in Vienna at that time.

No one would have thought that a foreign gang could become the leader of Vienna's underground forces in less than ten years.

Of course, people never expected that this gang would actually be related to the royal family, but insiders dared not say it because the royal family and the government would not admit it for the sake of face.

Then the speaker is slandering the royal family and the government. These are both serious crimes, and the minimum penalty for both crimes is exile.

Thinking of this, Solomon decided to wait and see what happens. After all, the four major troupes have their own forces behind them, and the cake of the Vienna Underworld is so big.

If there is one more person, everyone will be divided less, so it is better to let this new person disappear.

In fact, someone had already tried it, and Franz and his entourage were followed as soon as the carriage left.

Fortunately, he had deployed five hundred spies in advance. The gangsters who were following him were stunned, because suddenly someone made a gesture, and then the whole street rushed towards them as if they were crazy.

Several gang thugs were pinned to the ground before they could react, and then received a severe beating in the interrogation room of the secret police, and then they brought everything out.

These guys come from Bohemia. They are thugs maintained by the local wealthy Winster family, and they are responsible for handling some dishonorable matters in business.

The Winster family does not have much business in Vienna and is the weakest of the four major theater groups.

But he was also the fastest rising among them. It took only a few decades to go from an unknown little nobleman to the Bohemian emperor. Even the governor and high-ranking officials had to visit him first when they took office.

Without the approval of the Winster family, even government officials cannot take office, and even if they take office, they will die violently or be ruined.

Franz did a little research and found out that this person was said to be a king, but in fact he was just a domestic slave in the family of Archduke Karl.

Winster's father relied on bribes to become the deacons of the Casimir family (the family of Archduke Karl's adoptive father) in Bohemia. After that, they bullied the superiors and subordinates for decades and became a local tyrant, but it was not enough.

To be king.

In Winster's generation, on the one hand, he continued to use Archduke Karl's family as a cover to reap benefits; on the other hand, he sized up the situation and became the largest patron and actual leader of the Czech national independence movement.

This made the Winster family suddenly become a force that cannot be ignored in Bohemia. Even if a high-ranking governor wants to live a stable life, he must act based on their family's face, otherwise there will be unrest in his jurisdiction.

.

In addition, Winster also has a so-called 5,000-strong army, named the Czech National Revolutionary Army, which is actually his thug group, and their job is to watch over the place and protect the family business for him.

The purpose of these thugs is to find a few easy targets to tie up, and then demand ransom from their families to teach them a lesson.

But he didn't expect that Franz was arrested when he was well prepared.

It happened that Franz was still worried about having no place to temporarily house the girl group he was planning, so he asked people to continue interrogating those few people in order to collect more evidence.

The secret police are very good at interrogations, especially purposeful interrogations. During this period, a steward of the Winster family in Vienna wanted to come to the secret police prison to arrest someone, and his arrogant attitude was memorable.

This person obviously knew more and more detailed information than those thugs, and then this steward was also sent to prison by the leader of the secret police.

After a "friendly" interaction, the Winster family was convicted of dozens of crimes, including but not limited to human trafficking, forcing girls into prostitution, bullying, kidnapping, assassination, poisoning, colluding with foreign governments, and selling national intelligence.

.

Franz wanted the Winster family's property in Vienna. The leader of the secret police understood what he meant when he heard this, and changed the manager of the Winster family in Vienna that day.

The Winston family crest was thrown to the ground and replaced with the letter "K".

The next day, an army marched from Vienna to Prague.

At this time, there was a French-style building standing in the center of Prague. In the mansion with an area of ​​24,000 square meters, Eric Winter was watching his men twist the noose, and the victim's eyes were rolled up and his mouth was white.

Mo, his limbs were struggling weakly, as if he was trying to catch something, or as if he wanted to kill someone.

The victim was originally the son of a wealthy businessman. He was originally from a wealthy family, but as the Austrian Empire joined the German Customs Union, orders increased significantly.

It was originally a great thing, but the family property was attracted by Baron Winster. His father was unwilling to sell the family property, and the price offered by Baron Winster was too low, so he refused.

This proposal.

But he also suffered a sudden disaster. Baron Winter called the wealthy businessman and his family the lackeys of the Austrians. After that, a large number of Czechs came to beat the wealthy businessman to death and robbed all his family's belongings.

His heart bleeds as he looks at his disheveled mother, blindly searching for his father's remains in the ruined home.

He wants revenge! But unfortunately, the power of the Winster family is so huge that no lawyer is willing to redress his grievances.

In the end, even if an upright judge risked his career and life, he only received a pension of one hundred florins and a very reluctant "Sorry".

It took him three years to finally get the chance to assassinate Baron Winston, but he failed.

Baron Winston was neither surprised nor afraid of such an assassination. On the contrary, he liked it very much, especially the public execution of the assassin.

Every public execution can shock Xiao Xiao, and every public execution can make him feel that he is one step closer to the peak of power.

Baron Winter swayed his red wine glass lazily, thinking, "This is not the first assassin, and it will not be the last."

Suddenly someone stumbled in.

"Mr. Winter! Someone asked you to get out." The man looked very panicked.

Winston likes to be called sir, because it makes him more approachable and progressive. Of course, there is another aspect, that is, he feels that the baron is too young and does not match his status.

What Winster wants to do is to be president, Grand President of the Republic of Bohemia

"Who? Let him wait, didn't you see that I'm busy here?" There was already a third of anger in Winston's words.

Winster usually has a lot of authority. Usually when he talks like this, the other person will shut up and be in panic all day long.

But the man still said.

"Mr. Winter, please get out quickly. There are many people outside, and they all have guns."

"Gun?" Winster snorted coldly, and thought to himself, "What's a gun? I still have fifty artillery pieces in my manor outside the city! I don't have many war horses, only two thousand. I can get them tomorrow if I want.

Getting to Prague is not a problem either.”

However, someone coming to the door with a gun aroused Winster's interest. For many years, no one dared to challenge his position in Prague.

Of course, he was not afraid, because there were more than two hundred gunmen in the mansion at this time, and these people were not ordinary people, but elites of the Czech Republican Army who had undergone long-term training.

"Who is this blind person who wants to challenge me?" As soon as Winster said this, the key members of the surrounding family all laughed. They all felt that there was nothing to be afraid of in this world.

No one except God can do anything to Mr. Winster, but seeing that he often goes to and from the church without being punished by God, it may be that God has acquiesced in his behavior, and their subordinates are naturally more unscrupulous.

After a while, the subordinate ran back again.

"He said his name was Albrecht Friedrich Rudolf."

Winster's men tried hard to search in their minds whether there was a big shot in Bohemia with this name, but obviously there was not.

Then, someone stood up.

"Mr. Winter, how dare this man be so rude, I will arrest him now to make amends to you."

Before the man could finish his words, Winster picked up a pistol and shot him in the head.

Others may have never heard of this name, and may not know this person. But it is impossible that Winster has not heard of it, that is the name of the future head of the family.

This head of the family is not from the Winster family, but from the Casimir family. No matter how lawless Winster is, he does not dare to have any contempt for Archduke Carl's family. Every year, he bribes Archduke Carl's housekeeper with a large amount of money so that he can continue

Borrowing his name is not a crime.

Franz has the ability to completely eliminate the Winter family, but he still hopes to let Archduke Karl's family handle the matter. After all, it would be much more honorable.

Archduke Karl went to Switzerland, and Albrecht was the de facto head of the family. This time he brought his family's guard to Prague, as well as the Vienna city defense army directly under him.

Eric West, who usually looked like an emperor, ran out in a panic.

He saw the guards of the Archduke Karl's family. Their neat military appearance and resolute eyes seemed to have returned to when he was a child.

Thirty-four years ago, Archduke Karl rode a white horse and led his army to the front line for a decisive battle with Napoleon. When the army passed through the manor of Eric Winter's family, he was extremely envious.

Eric West also wanted to be that kind of person. His father, Old West, told him that he must be rich and powerful.

Winster had the urge to worship, but at this time Albrecht was riding on the horse and said with a dark face.

"What have you been doing all these years?"

"It's nothing. I pay full profits to the Grand Duke every year. We, the Winster family, will always be your servants."

Winston said these words very naturally, and his attitude immediately changed, as if nothing had happened before.

Albrecht raised his hand and threw the notebook recording the crimes of the Winster family towards Eric Winster.

Eric picked up the paper on the ground and looked at it and said calmly.
