Chapter 299: The Opportunity of the Great War

Alexander III meant to think so, but unfortunately many people in the Stanya League didn't think so. The Baku region was a colony seized by the Cossack Empire, and in the eyes of these people, Alexander III's move was clearly a demonstration to the Stanya Union and had the intention of annexing the entire Union, so the Kazakh government in the Union decided to send someone to assassinate Alexander III privately without going through the Union Parliament.

The Kazakh Assassin was named Haq, and he was a dead soldier secretly trained by the Kazakh royal family, who had ever undergone the most rigorous training. The weapon was chosen by the assassins themselves, and originally Huck preferred the Beretta automatic pistol produced by the Chinese Empire, but unfortunately this weapon was used by the Chinese Emperor, and the control was very strict, and a Beretta pistol could be sold for 200,000 yuan on the black market.

Huck was a very frugal man, and although he knew that the Dauberetta pistol was his best choice, he chose the Manning pistol of the Nantes Empire.

The Manning pistol is a complete imitation of the Beretta pistol from the Scott Light Weapons Factory of the Nantes Empire, the Manning pistol is very similar to the Beretta pistol in appearance, but because the technology of the Nantes Empire is more backward than that of the Chinese Empire, the weapon processing accuracy is not high, so the Manning pistol sometimes has some glitches, but the price of the Manning pistol is only 5,000 yuan, and the cost performance is definitely very high.

Huck is very proficient in both firearms and assassination, and he knows very well that the best way to assassinate is to assassinate at close range, which has a high hit rate, is easy to succeed, and has a second chance to remedy if it fails.

The downside was that it was difficult for the Assassins to escape, but death wasn't terrible for a dead man like Huck, and he didn't want to make it back alive. The best weapon for close-range assassination is naturally a pistol, because the pistol is easy to hide, and the attack ability is not weak, and the success rate is very high.

After receiving the news of Alexander III's imminent arrival, Huck chose an inn facing the street on the way into the city, and opened a room on the second floor.

Alexander III's entry into the city was naturally very grand, and not only the military and political commanders at all levels personally greeted him at the city gate, but also organized many people to welcome him. Of course, the security measures are also tight, not only the garrison has opened two blockades on both sides of the street, but a large number of plainclothes military police are also flooded with the procession, monitoring the abnormal situation around at any time.

Huck was sitting by the window facing the street, dismantling the pistol into pieces, carefully wiping the various parts with a cotton cloth stained with oil, and then assembling them back in turn.

Seven 9mm pistol bullets were also taken out and carefully examined, and after careful wiping, they were pressed back into the magazines one by one. These preparations were necessary for a good Assassin to ensure that his weapons were in good working condition before the assassination, as well as to appease himself in the midst of his uneasy feelings.

Huck shoved the magazine into the grip of his pistol and loaded it with a clatter, just as the carriage carrying Alexander III had just turned the corner. Huck smiled slightly, reaching out and touching the dagger strapped to his leg, which was his backup assassination tool and self-killing equipment.

As the carriage drew nearer, Huck could already see Alexander III clearly, and saw him leap onto the table, his gun in his right hand, and his left hand pushing open the window and jumping straight out.

The guards around him never thought that the assassin would fall from the sky, not to mention that Huck had already calculated the distance and jumped directly into Alexander III's open carriage.

As soon as he jumped into the carriage and stood firm, Huck raised his Manning pistol, and at this time, due to the momentum of Hulk's fall, the carriage sank suddenly, and the abnormal coachman subconsciously pulled the reins, and the two horses were strangled and stopped upright.

The inertia of the carriage made Huck unsteady, and with a crooked hand, the shot aimed at the head was missed due to a crooked body, and only hit Alexander III's left arm.

The Manning pistol was an automatic pistol that could be reloaded automatically, and Huck immediately shot Alexander III in the head again, but the pistol did not come with a crisp sound of gunfire, and the Manning pistol, which was not well made enough, jammed.

Seeing that the pistol jammed, Huck didn't hesitate for a moment, and threw the pistol directly in the face of the guard who rushed up, and with the speed of the guard dodging the pistol, he reached out and grabbed the dagger on his leg.

Unfortunately, he had no chance, and the guards who rushed up from the other side pulled him out of the carriage, and Huck was then pressed to the ground by several big men and disarmed. Seeing that Alexander III had been assassinated and wounded, the local military governors turned white with fright, and they immediately declared martial law throughout the city and searched for the Assassin's accomplices.

Although Haque had come alone to assassinate him, the local military governor captured more than 100 'accomplices', and most of these innocent men were summarily executed by the Cossack army in order to appease Alexander III's anger.

Although the assassination did not cause much harm to Alexander III, it directly angered him, and although Huck was tortured and refused to tell the truth, and was tortured to death, Huck could not hide his obvious Aberdeen characteristics.

Annoyed, Alexander III immediately ordered the Imperial Government to send a note to the Stanya League, demanding that it hand over the mastermind behind it. For the Cossack Empire, a powerful country bordering on itself, the Stanya Union did not dare to offend, and the parliament immediately began to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes, and it turned out that the head of the Kazakh royal family was actually found after checking.

The Union Parliament was in trouble, the Kazakh state is the largest country in the Stanya Union, and if the parliament demanded that the Kazakh royal family hand over the murderer, it would probably cause a split in the Union, so the Union Parliament proposed to the Cossack government with money as compensation.

Alexander III, who had long been coveted by the Stanya Alliance, naturally did not give up, and in the name of the refusal of the Stanya Alliance to hand over the mastermind behind the scenes, he declared that the Cossack Empire had entered a state of war against the Stanya Alliance, and issued a national mobilization order on the same day.

The armaments of all countries have become a burden on the government, and when they see someone lighting a fire, all countries will naturally not let it go, and the Yaman Empire was the first to jump out and ask the Cossack Empire to maintain peace in the region and immediately stop the general mobilization, otherwise the Yaman Empire will not sit idly by.

With the support of the two allies of the Saar Empire and the Nantes Empire, Alexander III naturally ignored the threat of the Yaman Empire. Three days later, Emperor Wilhelm II of the Yaman Empire announced the national mobilization order of the Yaman Empire on the grounds that the Cossack Empire refused to stop the general mobilization order and undermined the peace and stability of the world.

Taking advantage of the announcement of the national mobilization of the Yaman Empire, the Saar Empire suddenly announced a national war preparation order, and at the same time demanded that the Yaman Empire immediately stop hostilities against the Cossack Empire and stop the national mobilization.
