Chapter 5 Planning the Sarajevo Incident

After thinking about it for about an hour in the dormitory, Zhao Xiang felt quite irritable, and couldn't help but habitually touch his pocket, and a familiar thing appeared in his hand. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Cigarettes?" Zhao Xiang unexpectedly took out a few packs of cigarettes from his pocket, all of them were Su cigarettes, one of which had been opened, and the remaining four packs of cigarettes had not yet been opened.

After digging out other pockets on the body, lighters, keys, wallets, red envelopes, and photos are all there, but the mobile phone is gone, and it seems that it should have been taken away by Zero, after all, in this era, the mobile phone has not yet come out, if you hold a mobile phone in your hand, someone finds the mystery in it, maybe there will be something moth.

While smoking a cigarette, while thinking about the plan, the very important problem in front of Zhao Xiang now is that he has no weapons, no manpower, if he wants to assassinate Ferdinand, at least he needs a team and weapons, otherwise he can't do it alone.

When Zhao Xiang fell into contemplation, the cigarette in his hand had begun to burn out slowly, and the notebook in front of him was already densely filled with all kinds of plans, but the key question was at a loss, where did the gun come from? Where do people come from?

"Suck!" Just as Zhao Xiang was waiting in thought, he suddenly felt a pain in his fingers, threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground, and gently rubbed the scalded finger with his other hand.

However, when his eyes swept over the cigarette that fell on the ground, his eyes immediately lit up, and a plan was quickly formed in his mind, if it could be successful, at least Zhao Xiang would be able to have a lot of income, and the problem of money and guns could be solved.

It took about an hour, after changing three pens, Zhao Xiang finally stopped the pen, nodded with satisfaction, looked at the masterpiece in his hand, and showed a slight smile on his face.

Tearing up all the failed works he had just painted on the table, and with a pack of cigarettes, Zhao Xiang walked out of the room humming an unknown song.

What was Europe like in the early 20th century? Serbia, located in the Balkans, is one of the more backward countries in Europe, but at the beginning of the 20th century, it was also full of modern civilization, full of chimneys with black smoke.

Princip, who is not yet 18 years old, attends an ordinary university in Belgrade, which is not a Chinese university, but a school similar to a Chinese high school.

The school is located on the border between the city and the suburbs of Belgrade, and several small, run-down buildings make up the teaching building, dormitories and canteens.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, there were already buses in Serbia, but they were not very developed, and although Belgrade was the capital of Serbia, there were no buses to factories on the outskirts.

But fortunately, Zhao Xiang asked in the school just now, the closest tobacco company to the school, Monus Cigarette Company, is only three kilometers away from the school, and Zhao Xiang can walk there.

On the road in front of the school, there was a constant stream of horse-drawn carriages, and occasionally a few steam trucks emitting black smoke made an unpleasant noise and drove slowly by.

Steam trucks were already the most advanced means of transportation in this era besides trains, but in the eyes of Zhao Xiang, a man from the 21st century, he was as slow as a snail.

The Balkan problem in this time and space was not intense, and although Serbia lost its access to the sea, it was regained during the Second Balkan War, and Bulgaria did not take the initiative to attack Serbia.

Although the Austro-German alliance existed, it did not further provoke Bulgaria and Romania, and the situation in the Balkans was relatively stable and had not deteriorated into a powder keg in the Balkans.

History is going in a different direction, Zhao Xiang didn't know how to avoid the First World War, but he came to this world for a few hours to understand that in fact, there are still many war triggers in this world, such as Alsace and Lorraine are still in the hands of the Germans, Bulgaria did not invade Serbia again but still joined the Austro-German alliance, and Romania and Serbia are more inclined to the Entente.

Serbia is also full of hostility towards Austria, and the relationship with Italy is also not friendly, although there is no smoke of war in the Balkans, but the undercurrent is still surging, Zhao Xiang's task is to complete the Sarajevo incident that is not in this time and space.

While walking, while looking at the history books in his hand, Zhao Xiang has a preliminary understanding of some of the history of this space, and the general direction is basically the same as the space he is in, but the direction of some details is a little different.

While walking and thinking, it took about an hour for Zhao Xiang to walk to the door of the Monus Cigarette Company.

Monus Cigarettes is the largest and oldest cigarette company in Serbia, the specific date of establishment Zhao Xiang is not very clear, it is said that it started as a handmade cigarette workshop and slowly developed into the largest cigarette company in Serbia.

In the Monus cigarette factory, several horse-drawn carriages were parked in the open space, several workers were constantly carrying boxes onto the carriages, and several men in suits handed the dinar to the factory management, and several people chatted with each other, and seemed to have a good conversation.

"Hey, little one, we're not hiring workers here!" Just as he was about to enter the gate, Zhao Xiang was stopped by the security guard of the cigarette company.

Zhao Xiang was startled by the sudden angry reprimand, turned his head and saw a white man looking at him viciously, holding a wooden stick in his hand, staring at him viciously, as long as he had the slightest movement, the stick would beckon at Zhao Xiang.

"Sir, I think you misunderstood, I came to the manager for something, I run a small shop at home and need to order a batch of tobacco, my father doesn't have time, so let me come over!"

Zhao Xiang's head spun around, and he immediately thought of a perfect reason.

"Huh? Come to buy? Okay, go in, don't go around, go straight ahead, do you see the man in the suit? He's the sales manager of our company, you can talk to him. The security guard looked Zhao Xiang up and down, saw that he was dressed decently, and he was carrying a mechanical watch in his hand, not like someone who had infiltrated the factory, and agreed to Zhao Xiang's request.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, watches were just popular on the European continent, and most civilians stayed in the era of using pocket watches, mechanical watches were handmade and not yet industrialized, and they were very expensive to carry a mechanical watch with them, which only people with a privileged family environment could do in Serbia.
