"Your Royal Highness, we have found hidden Serbian independence elements in the city, do we need to change our itinerary today?" The chief of guard said beside the crown prince. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"I am the crown prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the future emperor, how can I be afraid of the bullets of the assassins to back down? Aren't the police and the army all arranged? I believe in your abilities, after all, in the future I will lead you to Belgrade and even St. Petersburg. Ferdinand said.

"I'm going to tell the Serbs today that there is a whole Austro-Hungarian army behind me, ready to crush them to pieces at any moment!"

Austria-Hungary was really ready to take the lead in the Balkans, and deployed a complete army group in the border area of the two countries according to the configuration of the war, and the arrival of Crown Prince Ferdinand made the whole situation even more tense, after all, it was not only the crown prince of Austria-Hungary, but also the second-in-command of the imperial military power.

"Today is March 5th, and in a maximum of two months, we will celebrate our victory in Belgrade. Think of it as a rehearsal today! The crown prince said confidently.

To Ferdinand's surprise, he said that the army and police he trusted could not save his life, and that when a young Serbian armed with a modified Mauser C98 submachine pistol ran out of a full 20-round magazine, the crown prince and his wife completed a cycle of history. And the pace of the war has also entered the final stage! And at this time, there were still 6 months left before the Kaiser went to war!

"War is about to begin!" When Ruprecht received the news, his first reaction was to be nervous, he had been preparing for more than 20 years, and now it was finally time to decide his fate, as for the assassination of Crown Prince Ferdinand, the prince was not very surprised, and even breathed a sigh of relief, if Ferdinand was alive, then Princess Mary naturally had no possibility of ascending to the throne. After all, the former has been a prince for decades. It is not an exaggeration to say that it has deep roots. If he doesn't die, how can his wife be on the throne?

As for his death, the prince was not too surprised, first of all, the assassination of Prince Ferdinand in history was not an isolated matter, there was the support of Serbian ultra-nationalists behind it, this is the so-called Black Hand Society, this organization has actually made a big move before, and the last Grand Duke of the Serbian Obreno Weiqi dynasty died under the guns of this organization, and it was 1903. And this organization even survived to the time of World War 2. If you talk about murder, it's professional.

Secondly, the combat effectiveness of the powerful organs of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is also really problematic, Princess Sisi was assassinated, Ferdinand was also assassinated, and the core members of the royal family died like this, which is also extremely rare in the European royal family, right? To say that the security is okay, it is definitely impossible, plus Ferdinand himself jumped a little, and it is unexpected and reasonable to end up with the same ending as in history.

However, Ruprecht clearly has no mind to pay attention to these things anymore, and he needs to arrange some important things now.

"Mary, you go to Vienna at once, I would like to know the attitude of His Majesty Fritz, whether to go to war or to reconcile? At the same time, immediately ask Count Laura to turn all the funds into supplies, and then purchase the supplies according to the list we have drawn up in advance, and I hope to ship them all back within one month. The prince first turned to his wife.

"Count Schelling, contact Berlin immediately, I need to know the Kaiser's attitude!"

"Calyput, contact Prince Leopold immediately, I need to know the mobilization of the Bavarian and Bohemian-Moravian regiments."

"I will write a personal letter to Tirpitz and ask them to prepare to release the submarine and the camouflaged assault ship, and as for the two battleships ordered by Argentina, my final decision is to implement it according to Plan B, and the specific decision will be made by the Kaiser." In a very short time, Ruprecht gave several orders.

Historically, there was a full period of one month between the assassination of Crown Prince Ferdinand and the declaration of war by Austria-Hungary on Serbia. And in this last month, the prince has so much to deal with!

On the second night, Berlin had already called back, and this time, Berlin was using an Ainig cipher machine made in Bavaria. Before seeing the specific contents of the telegram, Ruprecht already knew what the Kaiser meant, and the war was finally about to break out, and according to the agreement between the prince and the Kaiser, before the outbreak of war, all important departments in Prussia needed to immediately replace the long-sealed Enig cipher machine to prevent leakage. Changing the cipher machine can be seen as a signal for the outbreak of war!

Princess Mary had already left for Vienna with her son, and as an important member of the royal family, Princess Mary and Albrecht, who had the inheritance of the Grand Duke of Bohemia and Moravia, should go to Vienna to attend Ferdinand's funeral.

"Hopefully, everything we do will make a difference." Ruprecht took a deep breath and walked briskly out of his study, which, if nothing else, would be the last time he had lived in the royal palace in Munich in months.

For today, the prince has already made a plan, the last batch of supplies will be handed over to Countess Laura to be transported to Germany, and he will meet with Prince Leopold and other important members of the Bavarian Legion tomorrow, and then have a meeting with the important commander of the Bohemian Legion.

When the mobilization order was given, he also needed to communicate and communicate with representatives of the German General Staff and the Austro-Hungarian Field Marshal Conrad. And participated in the development of the final war plan.

When Ruprecht walked out of the room, he saw his father, now King Ludwig III of Bavaria, standing in front of him. "My child, war is about to break out, are you ready?" The old king said calmly.

"We've been preparing for it for almost 20 years, and if we're not ready now, we'll never be ready. I have decided to take on my duties and obligations to raise the glory of the Kingdom of Bavaria and the Wittelsbach family to a new level. Ruprecht said.

"Go ahead, do your own thing, and the country will be left to me. Whether it's Prussia or Fritz, I can cope with them. I'm sure you can make it. The old king smiled and nodded.

"Father, wait for me and my legion to return victoriously." Ruprecht finished speaking and left. War is finally coming.
