Chapter 13 Tracking
Before Zhao Xiang could speak, Aunt Cather continued: "These damn black dogs have always bullied the soft and afraid of the hard, they just bullied and bullied you as a foreigner, I guess I want to extort you a sum of money, but after I told him that you are a painter, he left."

After speaking, he glanced at Princip very meaningfully, obviously the word painter is still a representative of the poor in this era, but it is also a fact that most of the painters who are alive are poor, and they will not be discovered until they die, as if they painted well, and then became famous.
Aunt Cather chatted with Zhao Xiang for a long time, and then slowly left the room after explaining some precautions, obviously in the eyes of this aunt, those black dogs are the real villains, and Zhao Xiang is a good person.
This is a characteristic of this era, with the revival and emergence of freedom and democratic consciousness, more and more people began to resist dictatorship, and in order to maintain their rule, a large number of dictatorships used violent repression and other means.
This led to the creation of violent law enforcement agencies, of which the police were one of the representatives, and it is clear that in Sarajevo the police were synonymous with villains to the common people, one of the least popular after thieves.
In the next few days, Zhao Xiang did not leave the room an inch, and he was alone in the room tinkering with some things, and from time to time he dragged the landlord and aunt to buy some things, of course, these things looked very plain, and no one could think that these things were used to make bombs.
Hardcover wine bottles, although glass has been popularized in recent years, but the price of glass wine bottles is still a little expensive, and it has not been rotten to future generations, only some medium or above wine will use glass bottles, of course, the price is not cheap.
In addition, there was kerosene, and some coarse cloth, so that a simple incendiary bomb was successfully developed, and of course, the most important thing was the grenade purchased by Zhao Xiang.
Originally, it was planned to make a simple remote-controlled bomb, but in this era, radio was still in its infancy, and it did not have time to be popularized at all, and only some laboratories had research, so this road was blocked.
Next, Zhao Xiang thought about it, and finally decided to make two more incendiary bombs, and add some gunpowder to the incendiary bombs, so that the power would become greater.
Assassinating Ferdinand, Zhao Xiang has carefully studied Princip's assassination plan in history, and in general, it was by luck that he succeeded, and God favored him, so that he could kill Ferdinand so easily.
He did not want to put his fate in the hands of God, nor did he think that in the West, God would help a person who had an Easterner, although his current identity was a Westerner.
However, he still found the crux of the problem in the previous Sarajevo incident, that is, in the first wave of attacks, the bomb was dropped on the canopy of the car and landed on the third car, while Ferdinand was not injured, and the debris from the explosion injured General Portiocre's deputy and Sophie's maid.
After that, Ferdinand and his wife attended the welcome ceremony held at the town hall, then took a short break and drove to the hospital to visit the injured entourage, and it was on the way to the hospital that the driver turned in the wrong direction because of the temporary decision to go to the hospital, and met Princip, who was waiting there, and Princip shot Ferdinand directly.
There was also an element of luck when the shooting was fired, and if it weren't for another young Bosnian member who knocked out one of the policemen closest to Princip, Princip would not have succeeded at all, so later generations evaluated the assassination as God's will.
It seems that all of this is composed of a series of coincidences, but Zhao Xiang keenly grasped one of the very fatal places, that is, after the explosion retinue was injured, Ferdinand would go to the hospital to visit the injured entourage.
Because it was a hastily modified route, there was no time to take security measures, which was especially important to Zhao Xiang, if he could grasp this point and make good use of it, he could complete the assassination of Ferdinand.
Even if the weapons and equipment of this era are still very backward, Zhao Xiang is still not sure that he can kill Ferdinand on the pre-arranged route, even in later generations, the CIA, FBI and other departments in the United States want to kill Kennedy, they have to modify the route in advance, after all, the security route inspection of a country's head of state is very strict.
Of course, although Ferdinand is not the head of a country, there is not much difference, and it is still very difficult, but if he changes his route temporarily, then he is sure to kill him, after all, it is not in vain to be a soldier for a few years.
Zhao Xiang, who had the manuscript, stood up with a smile on his face and began to prepare for the next things.
Although Princip's assassination of Ferdinand in history does not have much reference value, they still provide Zhao Xiang with important information, that is, Ferdinand's tour route.
Obviously, Zhao Xiang didn't believe that he had the luck of Princip, and he could find this route in a random newspaper on the street, and he had checked the information from No. 7, and there was no record of that newspaper in history, not even the date.
Ferdinand is going to inspect Sarajevo, and now the entire people of Sarajevo already know about it, and Zhao Xiang does not buy newspapers every day, after all, Sarajevo is a Bosnian down payment, and there are more than a dozen large and small newspapers, as well as all kinds of foreign newspapers.
There is no date, there is no name, this is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, this era is not like the later generations, a newspaper stops selling all newspapers, generally speaking, the people who need newspapers in each part of the city are different, so the newspapers sold are different, plus the means of transportation are not very developed, and it is impractical to buy all the newspapers.
According to the data found on the Seventh, the first assassination site of Princip and his companions was when a man named Norwich dropped an explosive bag as the convoy passed the Chumurya Bridge over the Milyatska River in the center of the city and drove into the Appel pier.
When Zhao Xiang saw this, he quickly found the map and found the location of the Chumurya Bridge, which is a north-south bridge, and Humulali Road connects the two ends of the bridge.
As long as history does not deviate, Ferdinand should have passed on this bridge, and for the sake of safety, Zhao Xiang once again checked several routes from the suburbs to the town hall, and found that this route was the closest and the route with the fewest corners.
