The revolt in Austrian Italy failed, but the repercussions did not end. The Vienna government was furious, and Franz immediately ordered a nationwide investigation.

I don't know if I don't check, and I'm shocked when I check it. From Lombardy-Venezia to Hungary and Galicia, there are traces of rebellion.

Countless people who had been in contact with the Hungarian independence organization had been arraigned, and no one had been arrested at this time, but people were already panicking.

The people who were involved were all greeting Stephen's family at this time. If you rebel, you will rebel, why do you write to us?

If you want to play such a difficult game, do you know the sense of confidentiality? The whole world knows about it, so it's no wonder that the rebellion didn't succeed.

Many people regret it and should have reported it directly. As a result, I missed the opportunity with a thought, but the belief was ruined by their own cleverness, and now the matter is no longer clear.

Did you participate in the rebellion? Do you know? This became the crux of the matter, and without sufficient evidence, the police did not arrest them, but only conducted routine interrogations.

But this is also very troublesome, once it is involved in the rebellion, all the connections are useless at this time.

Atissa was in regret at this time, he knew that the Hungarian independence organization would not work, and severed their contact.

I didn't expect the police to find the door so quickly, as a person who had contact with the leader of the rebellious party, and there were correspondence before the outbreak of the rebellion, he naturally became a key suspect.

Atisa nervously said, "Sheriff Pativat, please believe that I am innocent. I just met Stephen by chance at a banquet, and I didn't know him well at all. ”

He never dreamed that the Hungarian Independence Organization would actually launch a rebellion in Italy.

Don't look at Stephen's invitation to join the uprising, but there is only time on it, but no specific place is written. Atissa took it for granted that the Hungarian Independence Organization was going to launch an uprising in Hungary and had come to him for help.

If the rebellion had taken place in Hungary, the Hungarian police would not have been able to find out that he had contact with Stephen due to the limited communications of this era.

Sergeant Pativat said expressionlessly: "Don't be nervous, Mr. Artissa, no one says that you are a rebel, otherwise it will not be me who is talking to you."

Now you are only suspicious, we are just making routine inquiries, and if we want to clear this suspicion, please answer my question truthfully.

You and Stephen were seen talking happily, and at that banquet at Mark Manor, you had been talking for more than half an hour.

It's beyond the realm of strangers, and as far as I know, there were a lot of your friends at the dinner party, and you didn't talk to them that long. ”

Atissa hurriedly explained: "At that time, Stephen, the leader of the rebel party, hid his identity, ostensibly he was a colonial merchant, and I was very interested in overseas colonies.

You know, Mr. Sheriff. Now if you want to get a knighthood, the easiest way is to go overseas to open up colonies in exchange for military merits, and I am also going to form a colony team to colonize overseas. ”

Dissatisfied, Sergeant Pattivat continued to ask, "As far as I know, Stephen was recruiting mercenaries to cover the entry of the rebels into the country.

Most of these are Italians. Sorry, Mr. Artissa, I did not mean to discriminate against Italians.

However, the Italian mercenaries did not have combat effectiveness and were recognized on the European continent.

The colonial team, which recruited Italian mercenaries on a large scale, paid a terrible price. At present, there are more than 100,000 mercenaries in the entire Austrian colony, while there are less than 1,000 Italian mercenaries.

From the beginning, Stephen was in the form of a laughing stock. It is precisely on the basis of this anomaly that our police can deploy in time to suppress the chaotic party.

However, the leader of the rebel party fled. It has been determined that someone provided them with cover and evaded our police.

Don't be nervous, Mr. Artisa. I didn't say that you gave them cover, but the answer you gave me was problematic.

If you want to form a colony team, there are too many people to consult. It's really not good, you just pull a sailor from the dock, and they will tell you that the Italian mercenaries are unreliable.

Even some of your friends have formed a colony team, why do so many people discuss this topic with someone who is called a fool instead of consulting? ”

Atisa laughed and explained, "Sheriff Pativat believes me, there are not so many reasons, just because it is cheap.

Under the same conditions, the price of hiring one German mercenary can hire two Italian mercenaries, which is a huge labor cost advantage.

What we have to deal with is only the natives, and we don't need too strong combat power. For the same money, I can hire Italian mercenaries, I can get more troops, and I will have an advantage in the labor export business. ”

He was telling the truth, but it didn't dispel Sheriff Pativat's suspicions. The matter of fishing law enforcement was not known to Pattivat's level, so Artisa's explanation only increased his suspicions.

Sergeant Pativat frowned and said, "Mr. Artissa, you should know that now is the last chance. If you still refuse to tell the truth, the consequences will be very serious if you are found out. ”

Atissa hurriedly assured, "I can swear in God's name that everything I say is true." ”

Sergeant Pattivat asked in a cold tone, "Mr. Atisa, according to intelligence, you received a secret letter before the outbreak of the rebellion, which is written by Stephen. If you've only met once, why did he write to you?

Don't tell me that you are not a beauty and do not have such a strong charm.

As the leader of the rebel party, Stephen has always been cautious and minimizes contact with the outside world as much as possible, so why should he risk writing to you?

Could it be that as a felon who has been on the run for more than ten years, he would not know that any unusual behavior will attract everyone's attention and increase the risk of exposure? ”

Atissa knew what was going to happen, and Sheriff Pativat was suspicious of him. Normally, Pattivat should have asked about the contents of the letter, rather than pursuing why Stephen had written to him.

As a big capitalist, Artisa has a very wide range of connections, and in normal times he does not take a small sheriff in his eyes at all.

But now it was different, when it came to rebellion, no one dared to speak for him.

If you say the wrong thing at this time, if you don't do it well, you will be charged with harboring a disruptive party. The bureaucrats were not fools, and the Vienna government had always had zero tolerance for anything that involved party disorder, and the lessons of the Revolution were still there.

Atisa replied with a frown: "This question, you should ask Stephen, I have the right to refuse to answer this question." ”

Sergeant Pativat sneered and said, "Of course, it's your right. Now I ask for this secret letter, the contents of which are related to whether you are involved in the rebellion. ”

Atissa began to scold her mother in her heart, the letter has been burned, how can she provide it? Besides, if the contents of the letter were really exposed, he wouldn't have to leave today.

"I'm sorry, but I get a lot of letters every day, and I don't even read them. It's usually treated as scrap, and I can go back and look for it, but I'm not sure if I can find it. ”

Instead of dwelling on the issue, Sergeant Pativat threw out a new question: "Mr. Artissa, there have been reports that you have links to the Italian Independent Organization.

The art and culture training institute for young people you and your friends set up was a propaganda arm of the Italian Independence Organization in an attempt to divide the great Austrian Empire.

Now could you give a reasonable explanation as to why Lombardy-Venetia is included in the curriculum of the training institution? ”

Atisa was shocked, this was a big trouble. If this problem is discovered in normal times, you can also let the teachers of the training institution take the blame and expel them.

Now they happened to bump into each other, which became a reason to suspect him. Being targeted by the government will definitely not be a good thing.

As a big capitalist, Artissa has too many shady things, and if anything is found out, he can be sent to prison.

In normal times, things that can be easily settled by using personal connections can now become a talisman.

If the suspicions of the sheriff in front of him could not be dispelled, his tragic life would almost be certain.

The Vienna government has never been soft on dealing with rebellious parties suspected of rebellion, and if they are convicted of crimes, they can be sent to prison.

Atisa hurriedly explained: "Sheriff Pativat, this is all a thing. The curriculum of the youth art and culture training class never involves politics, you can send someone to investigate, our teaching materials are all professional courses.

If anyone dares to propagate separatist thinking, we will be immediately expelled as soon as we find out, and this is all slander. ”

The charge of separatism, Artissa could never afford to bear. If this is confirmed, then he is dead.

Even if he has an independent tendency, he can't say it! In this regard, the Vienna government is absolutely strict, as long as it shouts an independent slogan, it will be explained for the rest of its life.

Sergeant Pativat sneered and said, "Mr. Artissa, given your lack of cooperation, there is no way for us to clear your suspicions. So officially inform you that from now on you are detained.

In the future, you may face charges of conspiracy to start a rebellion and secession. Please explain your problem clearly as soon as possible and cooperate with the Government's actions. ”

Atisa's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly said: "I want to see a lawyer, I want to complain, you are illegally detained." ”

He really panicked, and now he is being detained by the police. Even if it is proved that he is innocent in the end, he has nothing to do with the rebels, and if the police find out his other crimes, he will also be convicted.

Convict according to law, and no one can find fault with it. Especially at this critical time, I was also involved in the rebellion, and I couldn't use my personal connections, and I couldn't find someone to help.

Sergeant Pativat said indifferently, "Of course, it's your right. However, you are suspected of two major crimes: conspiracy, rebellion and separatism, and we have the right to prohibit you from having contact with the outside world for the next week. ”

Atissa's face was like ashes, and a week was enough to change a lot of things. Without him personally presiding over the overall situation, God knows how many problems will be exposed.
