Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

The Prussian intelligence officer who had followed Pierre had originally planned to meet Pierre at the Iron Anchor Bar and wait for the Italian warship to pick him up. They would go directly into the Otranto Strait and then head north to Venice, where they would take the train north to Prussia.

As long as they entered the Prussian-controlled area, Pierre's safety would be assured. The Franco-Prussian War had yet to begin, and France was still the ruler of the continental Europe. The small countries of Central and Western Europe did not dare to provoke France.

Nothing is safe as long as you don't go back to Prussia.

"What?" To the Balkans? Walk within the sphere of influence of the Austria? Sorry, we did not have such a choice in our plan, it was too risky! Although the war between us and the Austria has ended, the relationship between us is still very delicate. We cannot take this risk! "

At the most critical moment, Prussian's stubborn character started to cause trouble again. In the hearts of these Iron-Blood soldiers who pursued order, order came first, and change and randomness were annoying.

At the moment, many other countries in Europe were very popular as a joke about the Prussian. For example, when Europeans greeted each other, the British would say how the weather was today and the French would talk about the red wine and the most popular costumes.

And when Prussian met him, it was as if he was filled with iron will. They would directly ask him, "Is order still in order?" Only the order remained for them to feel at ease.

Pierre, clutching his lifeblood purse, said anxiously, "Now we must take the risk! Since the French have accurate knowledge of my whereabouts and have even set up such an assassination plot in the Athens, it means that my journey in the Suez Canal has already been leaked out! "

"This time's assassination attempt did not use a gun, but a group of rogues. This means that the Athens's side is very anxious to get the information, they do not have time to prepare … Yes, it must be like that, because the actions of those assassins are completely devoid of formality … "

"It should be a temporarily hired rogue killer, not a true French intelligence elite..." The second tier should be arriving soon, do not hesitate, these Frenchmen know the importance of the information in my hands, they already hate us! "

"He will not care about anything else! The French will hunt us down! "Don't count on the Italians. The French are really crazy. The Italians can't take the pressure!"

At this moment, he was in the outer seas of Athens. From where he was standing, he could vaguely see that on the blue high seas above the Acropolis City's Acropolis City's mountains, a serious accident had suddenly occurred.

The destroyer Athlete from Italy was suddenly cut on the starboard side by a French frigate, the Thunder God, who had suddenly changed directions.

The huge sails caught the sea breeze, and the firm teak sides clashed together, causing violent friction. Broken wood flew into the air, and people's ears were filled with miserable shrieks. The entire sea was filled with white stubble and sawdust.

"Damn it!" How did you Italians get on the boat? "Why don't you give way …"

"Go to hell! You Frenchmen who go to hell, it was you who suddenly turned around. Are you going to murder me? "

Both sides were at loggerheads. Some of them even took out their rifles and aimed at each other. The sea was filled with French and Italian curses.

The merchant ships and Greek fishermen in the distance saw this and fled, afraid that the gunfire would hit the city fish.

At this time, the captain of the French battleship walked out, raised her hand to stop her subordinates from cursing at him.

"My apologies, but the blame for this incident lies with us in France. It was due to our wrong driving that caused this. We are willing to compensate you …"

"I will send a report of the accident to the Ministry of War. At that time, the French ambassador from Rome will discuss the compensation with you!" Believe me, how could we French care about such a small amount of money! "

"Now... Can we leave now? Or do you not accept my apology and compensation and insist on starting a further military conflict? "

It was all honorifics, all official honorifics. However, even a fool could hear the contempt and disdain in their eyes. The Italian sailor was so angry that they almost vomited blood.

However, Italy definitely did not have the courage to start a war with France, not to mention the fact that the two battleships got bigger and bigger each time.

After the two ships crossed each other, the people rushed to wake up in fear after seeing the huge scratch on the side of the ship. Fortunately, there was no war because a layer of wood had been hung on the side of the destroyer, leaving behind white stubble.

It was already difficult enough for him to barely ensure that the water wouldn't enter the river. Once the battle started, let alone a cannonball, even ordinary rifle bullets would be able to easily penetrate these broken boards.

War at sea always followed an iron law, a big boat to counter small boats, more cannons and less cannons, the French battleship's body was huge and meticulous with materials. This incident was like nothing had happened, but the thin skin battleship of Italy had damaged its vitality.

Seeing the French battleship in the distance, the Italians could only lower their sails and slow down as they headed towards Rome. The reinforcements on the ship were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, but they could do nothing as they watched the French battleship in the distance leave.

This was the law of the Scarlet Fruit Jungle followed by the navy. In the eyes of the navy, there was no peace or war in the world, no cease-fire or war, and if you saw something annoying in the open sea, you had to do it.

If they were discovered, they could push the blame onto the accident and say that they were careless, that they were mistaken … Because the vast sea was not a lawless place, the vast sea only knew of the strong.

As expected, the Thunder God entered the ship and tyrannically entered the Athens's channel. With countless of merchant ships avoiding her, she approached the pier. Although Greece was a weak country in this era, it was also an independent country. Naturally, they would not allow other countries' warships to land without being notified.

Three small coast patrol boats came up and blocked the Thor's way, demanding that the captain declare entry in accordance with Greek law.

Just as both sides were arguing over the procedures, three small boats were put down at the stern of the Thor's ship. More than twenty French intelligence officer s brought their diplomatic license with them as they forcefully entered the ship before the Greeks could react.

"Quick, stop them! What's wrong with these Frenchmen? I'm going to your embassy to sue you! "

"Inform the military police on the docks to stop these Frenchmen! How unruly. Do you think our country has no sovereignty? "Stop them …"
