The hand holding the handle of the revolver was covered with sweat, and Princip had to wipe his hands on his pants.

My heart skipped a beat! I took out my revolver and pointed it at Archduke Ferdinand and pulled the trigger repeatedly.

"Bang" "bang" "bang" "bang" "bang" "bang"!

Six gunshots were heard, like a rapid succession of cannons.

Although the distance was only five meters away, Princip's marksmanship was too bad. Only two of the six bullets hit Archduke Ferdinand.

One shot hit the chest, and the other bizarrely hit Archduke Ferdinand in the head.

The crowd suddenly seemed to have entered a weasel's henhouse. The crowd exploded and everyone screamed and fled.

People in the distance didn't know what was going on. Driven by curiosity, they crowded here instead.

For a moment, some people wanted to run out, and some wanted to squeeze in. People were crowded into a pile on the street, and they couldn't move.

This was very painful for the guards around Archduke Ferdinand. They saw that Prince Prins was unable to catch him just a few meters away.

Fortunately, they couldn't catch Princip, and Princip couldn't escape. Because there were people around him, they squeezed him hard.

The guards struggled to pull the man away, trying to catch this daring assassin.

Suddenly, a black object was thrown out of the window facing the street. People with sharp eyes could even see that the black object was actually smoking.

The guards were shocked. They knew what it was, but the dense crowd on the street made it impossible for them to escape and hide.

The black thing hit Princip about one meter away. An unlucky woman was smashed to death.

Everyone screamed, and then... "Boom!"

A huge explosion set off a storm. Many people were blown up as high as a five-story building, and all the glass facing the street turned into broken glass in an instant.

The news across Europe today is that Archduke Ferdinand, the Crown Prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, was assassinated in Paris. It is reported that the murderer was a Hebrew.

The whole of Europe immediately exploded, and various countries condemned the assassination. Prussia, which had close relations with the Austro-Hungarian Empire, simply condemned the Hebrews directly.

"It will do us no good if the war breaks out early. Why do you want to assassinate Ferdinand!" Albert looked at the old Rothschild with some annoyance.

"We were not prepared, and Austria-Hungary was even more unprepared for war. They had more people and needed more things.

The arms fleet shipped by the Ming Dynasty to the Austro-Hungarian Empire will not arrive in Bucharest until July 10th at the earliest.

If they can attack Israel at this time, I dare say that we are 80% sure that we can win." The elder Rothschild had full confidence in Israel, or in his son Rothschild Jr.

"I hope so! I have received reliable information that the Austro-Hungarian Empire will declare war on Israel tomorrow. If this war is lost, the huge amount of money we have invested will be in vain.

The thousand-year dream of the Hebrew people will also become fragmented. And you will become a sinner of the entire Hebrew people.

There will be no place for your Rothschild family in the Hebrew world." Albert glanced at the old Rothschild, and he felt that it was very important for the old Rothschild to understand the consequences of the matter.

"I know the consequences, Albert! You don't need to remind me." Old Rothschild smiled slightly.

The Rothschild family motto is that risks and opportunities exist together.

This time, I fully support Israel. Although the risks seem high, the benefits are equally great.

As long as this war with the Austro-Hungarian Empire is victorious, the Rothschild family will be able to control the entire Hebrew world. The benefits here can no longer be described by money.

Sure enough, early the next morning, the Austro-Hungarian Empire declared war on the State of Israel. The reason was to assassinate Archduke Ferdinand.

Relying on the Ming Dynasty's telegraph system, the heads of state of European countries received the news as soon as possible.

War! Begins!

Ben.\nGurion received news last night that the Austro-Hungarian Empire was preparing to go to war. The Israeli army had already gathered at the border and entered the trenches.

Although war was declared, the Austro-Hungarian army only conducted sporadic shelling throughout the day. It did not launch a large-scale attack as imagined.

"Has the reconnaissance airship returned?" Because anti-aircraft guns have become commonplace, airships cannot move during the day.

However, at night, relying on the cover of darkness, the airship can still play some role. At least, you can tell how many troops are gathering by looking at the lights on the ground.

"Just came back! In front of us, there are at least 100,000 Austro-Hungarian troops gathered. Such a narrow terrain is very suitable for our attack. Don't hesitate!" Victor served as a major general in the Polish army and can be regarded as an Israeli army.

The oldest and most experienced person in the military.

"No! We can't attack. Who knows what kind of fierce battle we will face in the future. The life of every Hebrew soldier is precious!" Ben.\nGurion thought for a while and shook his head firmly.

"Could it be that we just wait for the enemy to be ready to attack? Then there will be no casualties?

The airship has conducted reconnaissance and found that the Austro-Hungarian Empire has a very dense army, which is very suitable for our assault. After today, I am afraid there will never be such a good opportunity again." Victor was a little annoyed. He felt that this commander did not know how to fight.

.

With the Israeli army in his hands, the final result can only be destruction.

"No! We will not give up today's opportunity and fire out all the chlorine bombs." Ben.\nGuri smiled sadly.

Victor shuddered, there was almost no wind today. The air pressure was very low, and the weather was still a bit hot.

If chlorine bombs are fired in such weather...!

I didn't realize that this young commander was really ruthless.

At two o'clock in the middle of the night, there was a roar of artillery on the Israeli position.

The Austro-Hungarian army on the opposite side was extremely nervous, but after the roar of artillery fire, they found that it did not cause too many casualties.

Just when I was confused, a voice suddenly shouted: "Chlorine bomb, put on a gas mask."

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

On Changxing Island, Li Xiao is inspecting the results of diesel engine downsizing.

Li Xiao got up extra early today, and the sky was a little gloomy. Li Xiao walked on the beach and watched the waves crashing on the beach.

After five years of research and development, there has finally been a breakthrough in the downsizing of diesel engines. Last night I had dinner with Dr. Newton, and this naive old guy also said that he planned to go back to England in a few days.

God is fair, the scientific giant actually has an innocent childlike heart.

You can guess with your buttocks that Ming Dynasty will never allow people like Newton to leave.

They carry too many secrets with them. Letting them return to England will only pose a threat to Ming Dynasty.

At yesterday's dinner, Li Xiao smiled and promised that as long as Dr. Newton completes the last finishing work, he will let his team return to the UK.

Dr. Newton has stayed in Ming Dynasty for seven years since he was captured in India. Even a scientific giant still misses his hometown.

"Commander, the man has been dealt with!" The garrison commander Wang Guohua came over and gave Li Xiao a deep salute.

Li Xiao nodded and said nothing, just looking at the chimney emitting black smoke in the distance.

This is the last relic of Dr. Newton in this world. I hope people like him can enter the Kingdom of Heaven. After all, he also made his own contribution to the scientific cause of Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, it also trained more than twenty top talents for Ming Dynasty.

"We Ming people are very particular about fallen leaves returning to their roots. I don't know what the British say. Put the ashes in a porcelain altar and ask someone to send them back to England. Just say he died of illness!"

After a long time, Li Xiao withdrew his gaze. He sighed and gave instructions to Wang Guohua.

"No!" Wang Guohua hurriedly went to deliver the order.

Just now, he ordered that the ashes be scattered directly into the sea of ​​gold. Now that the commander-in-chief actually wants to put them in a jar and send them back to England, he must definitely obey them.

When I came to the crematorium, I saw workers throwing Dr. Newton's assistant into the furnace.

"Where are the ashes?" Wang Guohua asked quickly.

"According to your instructions, it will be thrown into the sea as soon as it comes out of the oven."

"Uh...!" Wang Guohua was speechless.

"Keep this guy's ashes and find a fine porcelain jar to put them in." Wang Guohua quickly thought of a way.

Anyway, they have all turned into ashes, who can put them together again? If they are put in a jar, who the hell knows who is who.

Li Xiao was remembering the giant of science on the beach and watching the sunrise at the same time.

It's a pity that the sky is getting more and more cloudy. After watching it for a while, I didn't see the sun showing up. I guess I won't see the sun today!

I turned around and returned to the villa. After breakfast, I was ready to take a nap. Maybe I could have a chat about life with the great scientific giant in my dream.

He couldn't sleep well after returning to the cage because Li Xiao received the latest battle report from Europe.

"We were attacked by chlorine gas and more than 10,000 people died?" Looking at the battle report, Li Xiao didn't understand.

It stands to reason that chlorine gas bombs are also considered conventional weapons on the European battlefield. This time, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was also specially equipped with new gas masks.

Unexpectedly, a chlorine gas bomb attack at night could cause more than 10,000 casualties. Damn it, no wonder they jointly attacked Kiev with the Ottoman Empire and Poland, and were beaten to pieces by the Russians.

Just this fighting power...! For the first time, Li Xiao was worried about the outcome of the war.

"The Austro-Hungarian army put new recruits at the front, and most of those recruits had not received such training. Many of them had never even seen a gas mask, let alone how to wear it.

Moreover, the Austro-Hungarian Empire's front line was too dense, and the front of a division was only two or three kilometers.

They were squeezed into a lump like this, and the wind was very light last night, which was just right for the chlorine bombs to form aerosols.

Due to multiple reasons, it was a fluke that the Austro-Hungarian Empire lost more than 10,000 people." replied Shi Dewei, Chief of Staff of the newly established General Staff.

Li Xiao glanced at Shi Dewei. This guy is really good. It was right to promote him to chief of staff.

"Old Shi! Tell me, which side do you favor in this war?"

"this……!"

"The responsibility of the General Staff is to plan the military operations of the Ming Empire. It is also the responsibility of you, the Chief of General Staff, to analyze the war situation!"

"Since you said so, Commander, I will tell you the truth. Based on the intelligence, the General Staff conducted actual deductions on the sand table.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire will win the final victory, but the prerequisite is that the Austro-Hungarian Emperor can withstand a large number of casualties."

"Oh, how many casualties do you expect?"
Chapter completed!
