Chapter 9 Sarajevo
History is really different, as a military fan, how could you not have heard of the name Guderian? When I first saw it, I felt a little familiar, and when I knew the name, I felt shocked.
Guderian? Shouldn't it be in the German Army at this time? How did you end up working as a train attendant here?
After a short period of surprise, Zhao Xiang did not rush to disturb this famous military strategist in later generations, his mission here was to assassinate Ferdinand, complete the mission and go home, this is what Zhao Xiang was looking forward to, as for anything else, he never thought about it.

Twelve hours later, the train slowly drove into Sarajevo, and before getting off the train, Guderian came to the box again, took Zhao Xiang back to the civilian car, and then waited slowly with the crowd to get off.
The gap between Sarajevo in this era and Sarajevo in later generations is still very large, Sarajevo in later generations as a national capital, the level of economic development is not bad, now it has just experienced the war, although the war has passed for six years, but there have been people fighting for independence, so entering the city, Zhao Xiang can feel a breath of hatred in the air.
When people think of Europe and the United States in the early 20th century, the first thing that comes to mind is the towering chimneys, the roads crammed with vintage Fords, and so on.
When Zhao Xiang walked out of the Sarajevo train station, he found that these were all deceptions in the film, and when he walked out of the Sarajevo train station, he was full of all kinds of unemployed vagrants, staring at everyone who came out of the station with all kinds of eyes, and all kinds of beggars wandering around the station, dilapidated stations, potholed roads, and all kinds of vulgar language.
If it weren't for the fact that these people didn't have long braids, Zhao Xiang thought that he had traveled to the Qing Dynasty, although it was not the Qing Dynasty, it should also be the same period, Europe in this period was actually not much better than China, and the people at the bottom also lived a hot life, and even surpassed it.
Walk through the square, where you can buy a newspaper from a newsstand and stroll through the streets of Sarajevo while watching.
Unlike the ruined cities that Zhao Xiang saw, the newspapers of this era were completely the mouthpieces of politicians, and the reporters did not yet have the consciousness of the so-called uncrowned kings.
Freedom of speech, human rights, etc., advocated by Europe is completely a joke in this era, whether it is Austria-Hungary or Germany, they are doing the same thing, constantly brainwashing their subjects, wanting them to unconditionally information the state, support the emperor, as long as the king gives an order, he can carry weapons to the battlefield.
However, the newspapers are not all useless news, and there are some useful things, such as the recent visit of Crown Prince Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary to Sarajevo in order to promote peace and stabilize the situation in Bosnia, and a very high-profile newspaper occupies two whole pages.
Ferdinand visited Bosnia, with two legions, preparing to conduct a military exercise on June 28, the anniversary of the conquest of Serbia by Turkey, and taking Serbia as an imaginary enemy, and spent half a page on the history of Serbia's conquest, insinuating that Serbia would definitely be conquered by Austria-Hungary, in addition to this news, there was some food rhythm in the corner of the newspaper, and some news about China was found near the end, Oh, this era should be called the Republic of China.
He folded the newspaper and put it in the briefcase he was carrying, and turned around and walked into a family hostel not far away.
It is now 1914, the world's first commercial hotel has not yet appeared, and in China, the place called inn is called an inn, which is similar to a family hotel in Europe.
In Sarajevo, there are now three currencies circulating in the market, the first is the Austro-Hungarian koruna, which is the official currency issued by the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1892, the second is the dinar, which is still very popular in Bosnia due to the border with Serbia, and the third is the mark of the German Empire, which is also a common currency.
The confusion of the currency also reflects how chaotic the region is now.
Just now on the street, Zhao Xiang had already caught four thieves who wanted to steal from him, and also beat away a person who was tailing him who might be preparing to rob.
Some of them were patrolling policemen not far away, and the thieves turned a blind eye to them, and still chose to attack Zhao Xiang, if it weren't for Zhao Xiang's vigilance all the time, he would have been looted now.
The family hotel looks old, the decoration in the house is very old, a middle-aged woman received Zhao Xiang, 30 dinars a day, if you want to live in a room with electric lights, the price needs to be doubled, 60 dinars a day.
Electricity, in this era of Europe is also an expensive luxury, although the electric light has basically covered most of the European cities, but the price of electricity is very expensive, the average family will still use the traditional kerosene lamp as a lighting tool.
After paying a deposit of 1,000 dinars in advance, Zhao Xiang stayed here, which was less than a kilometer away from the Sarajevo Council Hall, and the site of Princip's assassination of Ferdinand, the Chumurya Bridge on the Milyatska River, and the Appel Pier were less than 500 meters away, which was a perfect assassination location.
These things are all news that Zhao Xiang got from No. 7, and Zhao Xiang found some functions of No. 7 on the train, such as being able to consult some information, as long as there is information recorded in books in another world, it can be found, of course, the information that can be found is only information related to the mission, and Zhao Xiang can't find anything else if he wants.
With this information, Zhao Xiang was reassured in his heart, in history, Princip's assassination of Ferdinand was inadvertently discovered Ferdinand's procession route from a newspaper, and some Serbs thought that it was under the guidance of God that he successfully assassinated Ferdinand, otherwise so many newspapers, why did he buy a road map? And after he decided to assassinate Ferdinand?
While thinking about things, he slowly walked up to the room on the third floor of this small family hotel, which was the largest room in this family hotel and the only room with electric light.
