2583 Who is the leaker?

In 1870, the original landmark event of this year was the Franco-Prussian War, and any international major event that year could not defeat the limelight of this war.

But because of Xiao Letian's appearance, this year became more exciting.

The assassination of the head of state of the East was full of all kinds of mysteries from the beginning. Not to mention in the late 19th century, even in the 21st century when Xiao Letian traveled through time, the assassination of a country would attract countless speculations, and no one could see the truth clearly.

Rumors are flying all over Europe, some crying, some laughing, some indifferent, and some extremely regretful... With the release of various emotions, people began to subconsciously accept the rumors they loved to hear, and even added fuel to the fire as they continued to spread.

In the end, there were even messages about Xiao Letian and Princess Sissi committing suicide in love, which surprised countless people.

On the one hand, the excessive spread of rumors is because the efficiency of information transmission in that era was too slow, and people could only obtain information by relying on newspapers and rumor on the market.

The gossip has been unreliable from ancient times to the present, and the newspapers of that era were not very good, and they were also full of various types of fake news.

Another very important factor is that since the assassination, the Artemital Forest has been controlled by the Prussian army, and even birds and beasts cannot get close to the area within a radius of more than ten kilometers of the attack site.

The three thousand Prussian cavalry who received the order from the Bsmes ignored the obstruction of the Coburg Fortress defenders. The entire army rushed through the gate of the castle in one assault. At that time, a caravan was transporting food to the Prussian army.

The unexpected Coburg defenders did not even have time to close the gate, but saw the dragon's cavalry passing through the city with great might. The three thousand troops were swaying south.

Without the orders of the king and the military headquarters, these defenders did not dare to stop these Prussians at all. The commander covered his eyes with grief and said, "Anyway, there is a treaty of offensive and defensive alliances. Your king and ministers don't want this country anymore. What's the life of our ordinary soldiers?"

"Everyone is not allowed to resist, let them go... send a telegram to Nuremberg, this matter is no longer something we can control!"

The Coburg defenders did not resist, and the Nuremberg defenders did not dare to resist. Even as they watched the Prussian cavalry forcibly requisition the train, Munich also sent an emergency telegram from the Ministry of War. The order of non-resistance made all the defenders feel extremely disappointed.

The straight line distance from Coburg to the assassinated jungle was only more than 150 kilometers. The horses and trains rushed to the explosion site in just over four hours.

When they arrived, the explosion site was still smoking, and even the cleaning work was not completed. At this time, the Prussian soldiers began to control the people present and blocked the news.

The entire Artemilta Forest became a restricted area, and even the Bavarians themselves could not get close to it.

Three thousand cavalry were just the vanguard, and then more than five thousand infantry arrived at the scene by train, and eight thousand soldiers kept the scene protected.

Now even Ludwig II could not know the latest progress. The frightened king quickly rushed back to Munich and accompanied a group of panicked officials to quickly head north by train.

But unexpectedly, the train could not continue as soon as the king arrived in Ingolstadt.

"What happened? Why did the train stop here!" the king asked angrily.

"Your Majesty, there is a signal of prohibition in front of you... Look, the prince is coming here!"

Through the carriage, Ludwig II saw his uncle Prince Lutpod and his brothers, and was walking over with a serious look on his face.

When the prince got into the carriage, he threw the account on the seat in an atmosphere. "It's too much. These Prussians actually blocked the railway. Even I couldn't get close to the explosion site. Now the Prussians have increased their troops to eight thousand..."

"O God! Is Besmai going crazy? He dares to ignore the sovereignty of Bavaria?" the king said in panic.

Alfred said with a cold face, "Your Majesty, when did the Prussians care about our sovereignty? What can we do if we are unequal in strength?"

"Now there are only two options. One is to mobilize troops to fight these Prussians and drive them out of our land, and another way..."

"The other way is to go to see Besmai in person and give him an explanation! It's just to give in..."

To engage in a military confrontation with Prussia? Ludwig II would never dare, but he bowed his head and gave in. The young king could not hold back his face.

He said with an awkward expression, "Do you want the dignity of our Bavarian Kingdom? Let me bow my head to Pesme, what will European countries think of us in the future..."

"But war is not advisable... We cannot fight with each other. This matter... it's better to get rid of Uncle Wang and go there. You can go to Berlin to explain..."

Alfred didn't want to give this brother any face today. He sternly said, "Does Your Majesty want to shirk your responsibility? Why did my father come to clean up the mess when you come into such a thing?"

Alfred looked around and shouted, "Everyone is out! Your Majesty and I have something to talk about!"

The waiters and civil servants around them shrank and dared not refute, and they all left the carriage in shame, thinking that this was all your own family affairs, and we dare not get involved in the conflicts between uncles, nephews, cousins.

The three of them were left in the entire carriage. The prince and His Majesty sat opposite each other, and Alfred stood beside his father and looked unkind!

"Your Majesty! There are no outsiders here, so I will open the skylight and speak out!"

"Why did you reveal the itinerary of the head of state to the French? Are you crazy? Are you really not afraid of a war between Prussia and us?"

"You are the king of a country, you are not a killer! Why do you do this?"

Ludwig II was completely stunned when he heard this. He opened his mouth and looked at his younger brother in disbelief. "What do you mean? I revealed Xiao Letian's itinerary? You are slandering!"

"Slander? Then I ask you, Your Majesty, how many people in Bavaria can know Xiao Lotte's itinerary?"

"Apart from the Prussian intelligence personnel, there are only three of us left. Even the railway system staff can only receive the order from the special train half an hour in advance, and such as an assassination cannot be organized in half an hour!"

"The Prussians could not assassinate the head of the alliance. Now the suspicion lies with the three of us. Who else can there be except you?"
