Under the building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, more than 100 people gathered and took out the slogans that had been prepared long ago, shouting: "protest" and "protest......

There were also journalists from all over Europe waiting for the results of the meeting in the building, and they all looked lively at this time. Photographers are busy adjusting their cameras, preparing to record this historical scene.

Without any hesitation, Wesenberg immediately ordered a crackdown. After receiving the name, the police who rushed to hear the news rushed forward with batons without politeness, and dealt with the demonstrators as quickly as possible.

The protesters were gone, and Austria lost face. This premeditated demonstration made the international conference awkward.

The protests of the Italians did not affect the outcome of the congress. With the same position of France and Austria, the General Assembly soon adopted a new international law based on cultural traditions.

In a way, this law is also beneficial to the British. They can use this as a basis for bringing the Anglophone region into their sphere of influence.

The great powers usually don't have much face. Even in this international convention, there are many versions of interpretation, which is a loophole deliberately left by everyone.

When needed, they can interpret it according to the aspects that are most in line with their own interests to obtain the maximum benefit.

International conventions are inherently double standards for large and small countries. If it were far-fetched, it could become one of the bases for the legalization of the colony.

The goal was achieved, but Wessenberg was not at all happy. The sudden appearance of the protesters tarnished the reputation of the Vienna government.

Secrecy is impossible, and representatives of so many countries, as well as journalists from major European newspapers, are not obliged to keep it secret for Austria.

Wesenberg could only hope that the people under him reacted quickly enough and did not let the reporter take the photo, otherwise the trouble would be even greater.

Everything has happened, and the lid will definitely not be able to cover it. It was impossible for Wesenberg to send someone to inspect the photographic equipment of the journalists, which the Vienna government still had to have.

Of course, if there are no diplomatic representatives of various countries present, it is impossible to say. Watching people serve the food is the code of conduct of the great powers.

Seeing off the guests, Wessenberg's smiling face was gone. With a gloomy face, he said: "Send someone to ask the Vienna Police Department what is going on, why did a group of people suddenly appear to stir up the situation?" ”

The investigation has nothing to do with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but when it comes to diplomacy, Wesenberg has to intervene.

He didn't think that the Vienna Police Department would approve today's march, and that there must be something wrong with the fact that it was able to hide from the police system and gather such a group of people.

The Italian states also sent representatives, and none of them jumped out to oppose it, so there was no point in planning this farce.

Even a tenfold increase in the size of the protests would have no effect. Austria could not terminate the plan just because the Italians objected.

In the end, it was only the international reputation of the Vienna government that was damaged, but reputation was not equal to strength, and as long as it was strong enough, no one would dare to provoke it, even if it was notorious.

Now the reputation of Austria among the major powers is quite good, with Britain, France and Russia as a backdrop, no matter how bad it is, it will not be rotten.

It's a big deal to be scolded by international people for "tyranny", anyway, they don't count, no matter how you say it, the Austrian government also has official media, it's a big deal to fight a war of words.

Tomorrow in the newspapers of Vienna, there will be news that lawless elements have colluded with foreign forces to attack international conferences.

A middle-aged security guard immediately replied, "Yes, Minister!" ”

Wessenberg did not stop and drove directly to the palace. In addition to such a big matter, it still needs to be reported to the emperor.

This Franz has received the news and is catching the police minister on the phone and scolding.

No matter who the opponent is, the enemy was able to organize hundreds of people to do things in Vienna, and the police knew nothing?

What is this not malfeasance? As long as you are a little more vigilant, you can intercept it in advance, and you won't make jokes.

Franz didn't think the other party was willing to send hundreds of spies to do things. The value of a spy lies in the hidden shadows, and once exposed, it is dead.

The group that came out to protest now obviously cannot have a core figure, and most of them are fools who have been fooled.

Austria is not France, and unreported demonstrations are illegal, and the crime of exile is sufficient.

It is strange that the Viennese government is disgusted and not exiled to the land of poor mountains and bad waters. Maybe they will be thrown on an uninhabited island in the Arctic Ocean, where they will spend their days with ice and snow.

Of course, it is more likely to be frozen to death. The glacial world, where it is more or less than tens of degrees below zero all year round, is not something that ordinary people can survive, and we must not underestimate the revenge of the bureaucrats.

Smart people are hiding in the shadows and remote control, even if it is to submit a petition to the Vienna government, it is better than to go directly to it.

The former is a lawful act, and even if the Viennese government does not accept it, they will not be in trouble; The latter is a crime, and it is impossible for the bureaucrats who have been affected to their careers to let them go.

Franz didn't care about the life or death of these people. He was angry that the police did not have enough control over Vienna, and that this obviously unusual situation was not detected.

Hundreds of people can suddenly appear under the building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs today, so does it mean that there may be a sudden rebellion of hundreds of people one day?

The number of "100 people" is not small, and most of the revolutions in Europe did not have 100 people at the beginning of the uprising.

With so many people, if it suddenly erupts at a critical moment, the damage caused is simply immeasurable.

"There are always people who want to harm me", this kind of thinking is shared by many people, and it will be even more serious as an emperor, Franz never dared to take it lightly.

By the time Wesenberg arrived at the palace, things had almost come to an end. Those arrested have confessed under police interrogation.

Italians were not the only ones involved in this illegal activity, after all, there were not many Italians in Vienna, and it was not easy to gather hundreds of people.

The interrogation revealed that the protest was organized by five Italian students, most of whom were hired at temporary high salaries, and that they were given information by a middle-aged man named Robinson.

The clue is broken here, and these secondary and second teenagers don't know anything about "Robinson", and they accidentally met them at the "Feike" bar.

These unlucky people who were in a daze were fooled by the people they just met. In order to guarantee the territorial integrity of Italy, they decided to fight hard.

The participants were all hired on the day of the event, and the Vienna police naturally did not have time to receive the news, and before the enthusiastic people reported the case, the matter had already happened.

Franz was very dissatisfied with the results of the survey. Not even knowing who was behind it, the Vienna government was so embarrassed that it was a shame.

Franz frowned and asked, "Taryn, haven't you received any news either?" ”

Intelligence leader Taryn immediately replied: "It is preliminarily judged that this Robinson is a pseudonym, and the first appearance was at the Feike Bar, which is where I first met these idiots.

They had a total of three encounters, all of which were at this bar. We've had contact with the staff at the time, and a bartender provided clues that Robinson's beard was glued on.

Now, with the portrait described by the person concerned, I am afraid it is difficult to find this Robinson. There are too few leads at the moment, and we need time. ”

Professional spies are not easy to deal with, and in the absence of surveillance, it is a place like a bar, and it is too difficult to find someone.

Even Robinson appeared above board, and everyone didn't know who he was. Under normal circumstances, this kind of spy has work cover on the surface, and it is difficult to develop abnormalities on the surface.

In such a short period of time, it is not easy to get preliminary clues.

Franz said fiercely: "Continue to investigate, don't let go of any clues, this hidden danger is not cleared, sooner or later it will be a scourge." ”

Who is behind the scenes, this is easy to guess, anyway, there are only two or three. In terms of style, the enemy is very cunning, leaving no valuable clues, very much like John Bull's handwriting.

Fao had agreed that the British were powerless to prevent the Italian region from being redefined, and it was normal for them to come out and wreak havoc at this time.

Only one spy was dispatched, and it was all by flickering to provoke this incident, and it is estimated that the masterminds behind the scenes are crazy. Almost at no cost, Austria was plunged into the whirlpool of public opinion.

"Like" is not the same as "yes", international politics has always been true and false, false and true, and many times what the eyes see will deceive people.

Now it can only be said that the British are the most suspicious, they have both the motive and the strength to commit the crime, and they have many criminal records.

This does not rule out that other countries deliberately planted the British, and as a fellow believer, Franz often did similar things.

Until "Robinson" is caught, this question is difficult to judge accurately. Franz doesn't like to follow feelings, he always follows interests.

Whoever is responsible for this has the greatest interest in Austria, then to whom the murderer will be directed. This is also the reason why it is basically easy for Yang Mou to succeed, but it is difficult for Conspiracy to do this.

As long as the benefits obtained are large enough, even if they are calculated, Franz is willing. In international politics, Austria, like the British, is all about interests.

……

The case is not over yet, and a sudden change has once again made the case confusing.

British Foreign Secretary Maclean's official diplomatic note to Austria proposed that Britain, France, and Austria form an alliance to jointly safeguard world peace and stability.

The latter sentence can be directly skipped, the British have never had anything to do with peace, as long as they don't do things, the European continent will be much more peaceful.

The focus was on the "alliance", and Franz's first reaction when he received the news was: the Franco-Austrian alliance was exposed.

What can make the British pull down their faces and take the initiative to draw France and Austria together to form an alliance, apart from the "Franco-Austrian Secret Treaty", Franz does not think that anyone else is qualified to give them this pressure.

The Franco-Austrian alliance was already full of contradictions, and now that an Englishman has been added, how long this alliance can exist is a question worth pondering.

In hesitation, Franz asked directly: "What is the attitude of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, do you think we should form an alliance with the British?" ”

This decision is difficult to make, the interests involved are too wide, and the pros and cons must be carefully weighed. Especially in alliance with the British, it is even more necessary to be vigilant and add three points.

Wessenberg, who was under great pressure, said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs thinks that this matter should be discussed with Britain and France in detail, to see how much benefit we can get, and then decide whether to form an alliance." ”

The alliance between Britain, France and Austria obviously has a lot of benefits, at least on the issue of dividing up the world, everyone can discuss it behind closed doors.

There are naturally advantages and disadvantages, and the contradictions that exist among the three countries are important factors hindering the alliance.

These contradictions are not resolved, or temporarily suppressed. Then even if it is an alliance, everyone will make this alliance exist in name only because of differences of interest.

Sincere cooperation, Franz never looked forward to it. Britain, France and Austria are all protagonists of this era, and there is no foreign enemy that can make the three countries align.

Everyone is the existence of the hegemon alone, and there is no realistic need for an alliance at all. This made Franz not have high expectations for an alliance, and presumably Britain and France were similar.

If there is no conflict of interest between them, then it is not impossible to build an alliance. On the contrary, the mainstream contradictions in the world in this era are: the Anglo-French contradictions, the Anglo-Austrian contradictions, the Franco-Russian contradictions, and the Anglo-Russian contradictions.

It is not so simple to reconcile the contradictions between Britain, France and Austria, unless the British are willing to make major concessions and not make trouble on the European continent.
