The original plan of the Prussian intelligence officers who picked up Pierre was to connect with Pierre at the Iron Anchor Bar and wait for the Italian warships to pick them up, enter the Strait of Otranto and head north to Venice, and then head north to Switzerland to take the train to Prussia.

As long as he entered the area controlled by Prussia, Pierre's security would be worry-free, and now that the Franco-Prussian War had not yet begun, France was still the hegemon of the European continent, and the small countries of Central and Western Europe did not dare to provoke France at all.

As long as you don't go back to Prussia, it's not safe anywhere.

"What? Take the Balkans? Take Austria's sphere of influence? I'm sorry, we don't have this option in our plans, it's too risky! Although we have an armistice with Austria, our relationship is still very delicate, and we can't take this risk!"

At the critical moment, the stubborn character of the Prussians began to make trouble again, and in the hearts of these iron-blooded soldiers who pursued order, order came first, and change and randomness were very annoying.

At the moment, there is a joke about the Prussians in many other European countries, such as Europeans meeting and greeting, the British saying what the weather is like today, and the French talking about seasonal wines and the most fashionable clothes.

The Prussians, on the other hand, were iron-blooded when they met, and they would ask directly, 'Is order still there?' and only when order was still there could they feel at ease.

Pierre said anxiously with his life-like purse: "Now we must take a risk! Since the French can accurately grasp my whereabouts and arrange such an assassination plot in Athens, it means that my itinerary has been leaked in the Suez Canal!"

"The fact that the assassination was carried out without the use of pistols but by a group of hooligans shows that the Athenian side was very anxious to receive information and did not have time to make adequate preparations...... Yes, it must be so, because there is no regularity in the actions of those assassins......"

"It should be a rogue killer hired temporarily, not really a French intelligence elite...... The second echelon should be coming soon, don't hesitate, these French people know the importance of intelligence in my hands, they already hate us!"

Don't expect the Italians to come to the rescue, the French are really crazy, the Italians can't withstand the pressure!"

Pierre was not wrong at all, at this moment in the open sea of Athens, on the blue sea where you could faintly see the high mountains of the Acropolis, a serious navigation accident suddenly happened.

The destroyer Racing, which had arrived from Italy, was suddenly slashed on the starboard side by a French frigate that suddenly changed direction.

The huge sails caught the breeze, the sturdy teak sides crashed against each other and rubbed violently, the splinters of wood flew in the ears with a tooth-aching scream, and the whole sea was filled with white stubble sawdust.

"Damn, how do you Italians get on the boat? Why don't you get out of the way......"

"Die, you French people who go to hell, you suddenly turn around, do you want to murder?"

The sailors on both sides suddenly became tense, and some even took out their rifles and began to aim at each other, and the sea was full of French and Italian swearing.

Seeing this, merchant ships and Greek fishermen from afar fled one after another, for fear that they would misfire and harm the fish in the city.

At this moment the captain of the French battleship stepped out, raised his hand to stop the insults of his soldiers, and looked down on the Italians with contempt for the frigate's superior hull.

"We are sorry that the responsibility for this unfortunate accident is in our France, and it was our wrong driving that caused such a bad result, and we are willing to compensate you......"

"I will then send the report of this accident to the military department, and then the French ambassador in Rome will negotiate compensation with you! Believe me, how can we French care about such a small amount of money!"

"Now...... Can we leave? Or do you not accept my apology and reparations, and you have to provoke further military conflict?"

It was all honorifics, all polite official honorifics, but the contempt and disdain in his eyes could be heard by a fool, and the Italian sailors were about to vomit blood one by one.

But Italy definitely didn't have the courage to start a war with France, not to mention that the two warships were one big and smaller, and it was not cheap to do it, so in the end the Italian captain could only nod indignantly and admit it.

After the two ships staggered, the people looked at the huge abrasions on the side side and rushed to their senses one by one in horror, but fortunately there was no war, because now the side of the destroyer had been hung up with a layer of wood, and the whole thing was exposed with white stubble.

It's not easy to barely guarantee that there won't be water now, and once the war starts, let alone the shells, I'm afraid that ordinary rifle bullets can easily penetrate these broken wooden planks.

Naval warfare always follows an iron law, big ships overcome small ships, many cannons overcome few guns, the French battleships are huge and the materials are exquisite, this scraping accident is completely like no one, but the Italian thin-skinned battleships can be injured.

Looking at the French battleship in the distance, the Italians could only lower their sails and slow down and slowly sail towards Rome, and the intelligence officers on the ship were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, but to no avail, they could only look at the French warships in the distance.

In the eyes of the Navy, there is no peace and war in this world, there is no ceasefire and war, and if you see something you hate on the vast sea, you have to do it, and if you sink the enemy, if you are not discovered, then there is nothing.

If it is discovered, it can also be pushed up to the accident, and it is said that it is not careful, and it is said that it is wrong...... Because of the vast sea, it is not a place with law, and the wild ocean only knows power.

The Thor really entered the ship, rushed into the channel of Athens domineeringly, and approached the dock under the circumvention of countless merchant ships. In this era, although Greece was a weak country, it was also an independent country, and they naturally did not allow warships of other countries to dock without notification.

Three small coastal patrol ships approached and blocked the Thor's path, demanding that the captain declare his entry to the port in accordance with Greek law.

While the two sides were arguing over the formalities, three dinghys were lowered in the stern of the Thor, and more than twenty French intelligence officers forcibly entered the customs directly with diplomats' licenses, and before the Greeks could react, they had already forcibly landed.

"Stop them! What's the matter with these French? I'm going to your embassy and sue you!"

"Tell the military police on the docks and tell them to stop these Frenchmen! It's so unruly, when our country has no sovereignty? Stop them......"
