This made Lin Daxin, who watched the game very happy, and ordered all the players and coaches of the Chinese Imperial Football Team to be rewarded with a wave of his hand, and Lin Daxin also promised that if the Chinese Imperial Football Team can win the championship in the finals, not only the gold medal athletes who were previously stipulated will be rewarded with 500,000 yuan, but Lin Daxin will also come up with a huge bonus to reward players and coaches.

In the football competition of this Olympic Games, a total of 16 countries sent football teams, which were divided into 4 groups for round-robin, the top two in each group entered the quarterfinals, the Chinese Imperial Football Team was divided into the second group, and the Spanish football team, the Belgian football team and the South African football team in the same group, after 3 group games, the Chinese Imperial Football Team won all three games and entered the quarterfinals.

Later, the Chinese Imperial Football Team encountered the stubborn resistance of the Italian football team in the quarterfinals, and finally at the end of the game, the number one striker of the Chinese Imperial Football Team took advantage of the opportunity of a set-piece to kick a world wave straight to the far corner of the goal, and scored a valuable goal, and the Chinese Imperial Football Team also relied on this golden goal to advance to the semi-finals.

The semi-final opponent British football team is also a European powerhouse, as soon as the game opened, the British football team and the Chinese Imperial Football Team started to attack, and also created a lot of opportunities, but unfortunately the British team's forwards did not grasp it, only in the game There were 3 minutes left, the British team's forwards finally seized an opportunity and scored, but at this time, the Chinese Imperial Football Team had already attacked the door of the British football team 3 times.

Another semi-final was between the Russian football team and the Austro-Hungarian football team, which started 2 hours after the end of the Chinese imperial football team and the British football team.

Russia and Austria-Hungary learned that their national football teams had entered the semi-finals, and the ambassadors of the two countries to the Chinese Empire came to watch the semi-finals in person, and both called on the people of the two countries in Beijing at this time, as well as other athletes and coaches of the Olympic sports delegations of the two countries, to cheer for their football teams on the spot.

As a world-famous metropolis, large enterprises from many countries have set up branches in Beijing, so that many foreigners are currently working and living in Beijing.

Lin Daxin did not go to watch the semi-final between the Russian football team and the Austro-Hungarian football team, but he also paid close attention to the game to see which country's football team would be the opponent of the Chinese Imperial football team in the final.

In the semi-finals, which Lin Daxin paid attention to, there was an unexpected situation, and even the game had to be suspended.

In the semi-finals between the Russian football team and the Austro-Hungarian football team, at the beginning of the game, the actions of the players on both sides were very large, but the Greek referee of this game was not strong in law enforcement, so that the actions of the players on both sides became bigger and bigger, and finally a Russian player shoveled behind the back, and directly shoveled the ankle of an Austro-Hungarian player deformed, and another Austro-Hungarian player next to him immediately rushed over and kicked the Russian player who tackled, so the players on both sides who were already emotional, Immediately in the stadium to fight.

Immediately afterwards, the players and coaches on the benches of both sides also rushed into the stadium without hesitation and joined the team, and there were many fans from the two countries at the scene, who also rushed into the stadium when they saw this situation, making the entire stadium almost a pot of porridge.

After the security personnel of the Chinese Empire in the stadium finally stopped the scuffle on the court, they found that the Russian ambassador and the Austro-Hungarian ambassador on the VIP stage also practiced boxing with each other.

It turned out that the two ambassadors saw the conflict on the court, and they accused the opposing players of being rude, and then the accusation turned into abuse, and then the two ambassadors, who were very angry, started a fierce boxing match, and the entourage of the two ambassadors also fought each other.

This semi-final clash caused many injuries in two countries, and even more serious was that one Austro-Hungarian player was seriously injured and died and stopped breathing just after being sent to the hospital.

In the Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City in Beijing, Lin Daxin, the emperor of the Chinese Empire, said angrily to Wang Yan, the prime minister of the Chinese Empire, and Cao Hongtao, the minister of sports: "What is this! A football match also killed people, isn't this a discredit for our Olympics? A good Olympics may leave a stain because of this football game! ”

Cao Hongtao, Minister of Sports, said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, now the International Olympic Organizing Committee has decided that because of the bad impact of the brawl between the Russian football team and the Austria-Hungary football team in this semi-final, the Russian football team and the Austria-Hungary football team will be disqualified from continuing to play, and our Chinese Imperial football team will win the championship without having to play the final, and the British football team will win the runner-up, and the third place will be contested by the four teams that lost in the quarter-finals." ”

When Lin Daxin heard this, the anger on his face suddenly disappeared, and he said with a smile: "The International Olympic Organizing Committee is decisive enough, but I like it, so saying that our Chinese Imperial Football Team is equivalent to winning without a fight!" ”

Cao Hongtao shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Maybe this is the only good news!" ”

At this time, Wang Yan, the prime minister of the cabinet next to him, said: "Maybe it's not just this good news, you must know that the current relationship between the Entente and the Allied countries is very tense, and this football game is likely to exacerbate the contradictions between the Entente and the Allied Countries, which is definitely good news for our Chinese Empire!" ”

Lin Daxin continued to say with a smile: "If Russia and Austria-Hungary fight because of this football, it will be interesting!" ”

Lin Daxin is just talking about it casually, Lin Daxin knows in his heart that Russia and Austria-Hungary, as the world's two major military powers, of course it is impossible for a war to break out because of such a small matter!

However, the next series of changes in Russia and Austria-Hungary made Lin Daxin, the emperor of the Chinese Empire, stunned.

In the royal palace in Vienna, the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz? Ferdinand I looked gloomy at the Austro-Crarian Prime Minister Franch? Coman and the Minister of War, Zoltan? Sile said: "In the semi-finals of the Olympic football game, our Austro-Hungarian players were brutally treated by the Russian players, so that a large-scale conflict broke out on the field, and people were angry that one of the players of our Austro-Hungarian football team was beaten to death by the Russians, this is a provocation by the Russians to our Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Russians must apologize to our Austro-Khalinarian Empire for this incident, and hand over the murderer and compensate the victims!" ”

Minister of War Zoltan? Silai then gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, although Russia is still strong, with the world's second largest army, but our Austro-Hungarian Empire, under the leadership of His Majesty, is no longer the same, at present, our Austro-Crarian navy and air force, completely suppressed the Russian navy and air force, even if it is the army, relying on our Austro-Hungarian elite Wehrmacht and 2 local defense forces, we are not afraid of the Russian army, our Austro-Hungarian army in terms of unit combat effectiveness, far surpassing the Russian army!" This time the matter must not be easily forgotten, and the Russians must apologize to our Austro-Hungarian Empire! ”

In the Second Balkan War, Serbia, which Russia supported behind the scenes, became the largest country on the Balkan Peninsula, which was equivalent to preventing the expansion of Austria-Hungary to the Balkan Peninsula, which caused strong dissatisfaction among Austria-Hungary.

In order to curb the expansion of Austria-Hungary in the Balkan Peninsula, Russia then came forward to support Serbia, even if it was defeated by Lin Daxin many times, Russia's policy towards the Balkan Peninsula has not changed.

Austro-Hungarian Prime Minister Franch? Koman frowned and said: "Your Majesty, that Tsar Nicholas II of Russia is an unusually impulsive person, it can be seen from the last time Russia suddenly declared war on the Chinese Empire, if our Austro-Hungarian Empire is too tough on this matter, the minister is worried that Tsar Nicholas II will be reckless!" ”

Emperor Franz of the Austro-Hungarian Empire? Ferdinand I sneered and said, "Reckless? I want to see how Tsar Nicholas II was reckless! Are we still afraid that Austria-Hungary will not succeed in Russia? Even if war really breaks out, it is not certain who will kill the deer! ”

Prime Minister Franky? Koman swallowed his saliva and said: "Your Majesty, now between our allies and the Entente, there is a lot of gunpowder, and it is simply a matter of touching the whole body, and it is better to use the words given to the Russians to be more euphemistic." ”

Emperor Franz? Ferdinand I waved his hand and said: "There is no need for any euphemism, the Russians must apologize!" The murderer must be handed over! Compensation must be paid to the victims! All of these conditions are indispensable! ”

Minister of War Zoltan? Xilai immediately said excitedly: "Your Majesty is wise! "And Prime Minister Frankie? Coman suddenly looked helpless.

In the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg, the capital of Russia, Tsar Nicholas II of Russia angrily shouted at Russian Finance Minister Witte, Minister of the Navy Makarov, War Minister Gorrosky, and Air Force Minister Lekovich: "Bastard! Bastard! Bastard! Franz of Austria-Hungary? Ferdinand I is a bastard who does not know the height of the sky! Who does he think he is? Dare to threaten our Russian Empire, do you really think that this tsar will not dare to declare war on Austria-Hungary? ”

Air Force Minister Lekovevich immediately shouted: "Your Majesty the Tsar, Austria-Hungary is obviously playing on the topic, it is simply trying to on the neck of our Russian Empire, and our Russian Empire must not agree to such insulting conditions!" ”

War Minister Korrowsky said categorically: "Your Majesty the Tsar, this telegram of Austria-Hungary has been equated with an ultimatum, this is contempt for our Russian Empire, and it is also contempt for His Majesty the Tsar, we must not act as if nothing happened, the minister suggested that a serious warning be issued to Austria-Hungary immediately, once Austria-Hungary does not change its current attitude, our Russian Empire does not mind using the means of war, so that Austria-Hungary can taste the price of contempt for the Russian Empire!" ”

Admiral Minister Makarov hesitated at this time and said: "Your Majesty, it is better not to use war methods, after all, the biggest enemy of our Russian Empire now should be the Chinese Empire, if we declare war on Austria-Hungary, it will become a war between the entire Entente and the Central Powers, then Lin Daxin, the emperor of the Chinese Empire, should be secretly happy." ”

Tsar Nicholas II heard the words of the Chinese Empire, gritted his teeth and said: "Let's take a look at the attitude of Austria-Hungary first, you can't let a country like Austria-Hungary, riding on the head of our Russian Empire, just because you are afraid of the Chinese Empire!" Tsar Ben would definitely not put up with such a thing! Absolutely not! ”

Chancellor of the Exchequer Witte has not spoken, he knows Tsar Nicholas II very well, and he can see from the tone and demeanor of Tsar Nicholas II that Tsar Nicholas II was really angry this time, and now he can only look at the attitude of Austria-Hungary.

What a pity for the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz? Ferdinand I, with a very tough attitude, has been biting the three conditions put forward by Austria-Hungary, so the anger between Russia and Austria-Hungary is getting bigger and bigger, and both sides have begun to mobilize troops on a large scale to the border line between the two countries.

At this time, Britain and France of the Entente powers, as well as Germany, Italy, the Ottoman Turkish Empire and Spain of the Central Powers, were unwilling to let Russia and Austria-Hungary break out into war.

The Entente and the rest of the Central Powers immediately called on Russia and Austria-Hungary to remain calm and not to provoke a major war in Europe because of a football match. (To be continued.) )
