    As a time traveler who knew the outcome of the First World War, Sun Yuanqi could only express his gratitude to the German minister for his kindness.

    After signing the agreement, Sun Yuanqi began to wait impatiently for the latest news from Sarajevo.  In order to obtain first-hand information, Sun Yuanqi dispatched intelligence personnel to Bosnia in the name of a reporter from the China Broadcasting Corporation a few months ago, with the purpose of detecting the upcoming explosion on June 28.

    In addition to expectations, Sun Yuanqi is more worried.  Because Archduke Ferdinand and his wife, the crown prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, were both shot to death on the streets of Sarajevo, it was originally a series of coincidences that led to the consequences.  According to information obtained by intelligence personnel, the Serbian government had known for a long time that people from the "Black Hand" wanted to assassinate Archduke Ferdinand. Although the whole of Serbia was opposed to the Austro-Hungarian Empire's occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1908, which hindered the national unity of the Yugoslavs,  There is strong hatred, but high-level government officials are strongly opposed to this behavior of the Mafia, because they know that Serbia cannot bear the serious consequences that this incident may cause, so they try their best to prevent relevant personnel from leaving the country.  However, the border guards associated with the "Mafia" opened the door to the assassins, allowing them to successfully cross the border into Bosnia.  This is one of chance.

    After the Serbian government discovered the Mafia's plan to assassinate Ferdinand, it specifically reminded the Austro-Hungarian government through its minister to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, claiming that if Archduke Ferdinand went to Bosnia, his life would likely be in danger.  However, the Austro-Hungarian government ignored this warning and continued to go its own way.  Let Archduke Ferdinand and his wife go to Bosnia for a special visit.  This is accidental.

    According to the true history of another time and space, after reviewing military exercises on the outskirts of the city, Ferdinand and his wife proudly entered the city of Sarajevo in an open-top car at around 10 a.m.  before walking to City Hall.  They encountered their first assassination.  The assassins threw a bomb at the car in which Ferdinand and his wife were riding, but it bounced off the hood of the car, injuring only a few of the entourage.  Archduke Ferdinand was completely indifferent to this and ordered everything to proceed as planned.  This is accident number three.

    Perhaps it was inevitable to escape this fate. After attending the welcome ceremony at the city hall, Archduke Ferdinand and his wife, without knowing what they were thinking, drove to the hospital to visit the entourage who had been injured in the assassination.  It happened that the driver took a wrong turn on the way.  He happened to bump into another assassin who was unhappy because of the failed assassination. He immediately pulled out his pistol and prepared to shoot.  The police not far away also noticed his move and were about to step forward to stop him.  But he was punched to the ground by another assassin who rushed over.  This is accident number four.

    As a result, gunfire rang out, the crown prince and his wife were shot and killed, and the First World War began.

    Since time traveling, Sun Yuanqi doesn¡¯t know how much he has changed the historical trend.  At least now the physical development of the world and the political structure of China have been changed beyond recognition by his butterfly.  Many heroes who shook the ancient and modern times have also had their fate changed by him. For example, the great hero Yuan Shikai left Hexi two years in advance. Comrade Sun Yat-sen, the founding father of the Republic of China, has difficulty returning home. Li Yuanhong, the president of the two dynasties, is now living in the capital with his fingers crossed.  , Prime Minister Duan Qirui could only talk on paper in the Ministry of War, and Comrade Chang Kaishen had switched to sailing to fish in Xinjiang There was also Comrade Kunlun who wanted to compete with God. After Sun Yuanqi privately inquired, he was in  During the Xinhai period, he served as a soldier for several days.  Later, he applied for the police academy, soap manufacturing school, law and politics school, business school, and public higher commercial school, and then disappeared.  Some people say that he went to a remote place in the countryside to become a teacher, others say that he went to Shanghai to collect money to prepare for a work-study program abroad, and others say that he went north to the capital to study and become famous, but the specific circumstances are still unknown.

    China¡¯s political situation has undergone such earth-shaking changes. Who knows that Archduke Franz Ferdinand, who had already tried every possible means to commit suicide, would suddenly wake up after a flap of his wings?  For example, not visiting Bosnia, not stepping into the city of Sarajevo, not visiting the injured entourage?  If Archduke Ferdinand does not die and the European War is postponed, many of Sun Yuanqi's previous plans will come to nothing, and the situation at home and abroad will become passive.

    On June 28, Sun Yuanqi shied away from all affairs and social activities, and hid alone in his room waiting for the final changes in history.  Fortunately, this day happened to be Sunday, so there weren't many people coming to bother us. Soon, Sun Yuanqi was now exempt from fighting?

    Facts have proved that Sun Yuanqi¡¯s current influence on Europe is limited to textbooks and academic journals, and cannot affect Sarajevo, a place whose name is rarely known except by scholars and travelers.  So a scene in history repeated itself again. Several crisp gunshots rang out in the streets of Sarajevo at noon, and then a telegram was sent to Belgrade, the capital of Serbia:

    Two horses sold at high prices!

    Just like Serbia is eager to take back Bosnia and Herzegovina, complete the great cause of national reunification, and form a Greater SerbiaLike the European countries, in fact, the radicals of the Austro-Hungarian Empire have also coveted Serbia for a long time. They have long wanted to annex Serbia, fundamentally curb the national movements that threaten its survival, achieve the goal of dominating the Balkans, and then restore its declining power.  status.  After the assassination of the crown prince, everyone in the Austro-Hungarian Empire was furious. While the militarists were angry, they secretly rejoiced at the arrival of a good opportunity to solve the Serbian problem, shouting "draw your sword and aim it at Serbia."

    However, the old and dying Emperor Joseph I of the Austro-Hungarian Empire - he was 84 years old at this time. He fell ill last winter and has not yet recovered. Many people are worried that his life may be in danger at any time.  This is also the first fundamental reason why the Serbian Mafia dared to assassinate Crown Prince Ferdinand - he initially opposed the use of force, because as the ruler of the empire for decades, he knew that although the country seemed to have a vast territory (Europe)  Second), with its huge population (52 million, third in Europe) and impressive industrial strength (especially the military industry), it seems that it is one of the great powers in Europe and even the world. In fact, it is actually like the Qing Empire in the Far East and the Ottoman Turkey in the Middle East.  Like the empire, it has long been hollowed out by moths.  Becoming too weak to withstand any big storms (this is the second fundamental reason why the Serbian Mafia dared to assassinate Crown Prince Archduke Ferdinand).  In addition, there is an increasingly powerful Russian Empire behind Serbia.  The two countries not only belong to the same Slavic nation, but are also allies. It is obviously impossible to allow the Austro-Hungarian Empire to bully Serbia (this is the third fundamental reason why the Serbian mafia dared to assassinate the Crown Prince Archduke Ferdinand).  To be honest, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was barely able to torture Serbia, but it had no chance of winning against Russia, so Joseph I planned to endure the pain of losing his son.

    If things continue to develop like this, perhaps the situation in Europe can barely maintain itself for a while.  But the tree wants to be still but the wind doesn't stop.  At the request of the radicals in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Germany intervened!

    Germany was hungry for war, especially in 1914.  Because at this time, the Allied countries were constantly moving.  First, Britain and Russia began naval negotiations, and then Russia and France began new military expansion plans. All countries continued to accumulate strength; but on their own side, the seemingly powerful Austria-Hungary Empire was declining day by day.  Moving backwards through time.  The gap in strength between the two major military alliances will become wider and wider.  So in early June this year.  Moltke, the German Chief of Staff, openly stated: "We are ready! For us, the faster the war, the better."

    In Europe, where wireless telegraphy was already very developed, German Emperor Wilhelm II received intelligence on the afternoon of the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand.  He was so excited that he immediately stopped the tour and reported on the intelligence: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" When he later met with the Austro-Hungarian secret envoy who came to seek support, Wilhelm II even used all the military power of the German Empire to  Strength served as a guarantee, giving the Austro-Hungarian Empire a blank check that could be used at will.

    With Germany¡¯s endorsement, the Austro-Hungarian Empire immediately became tougher.  At this time, diplomats, leading figures from various countries, and friendly people promoting peace and anti-war were all running around.  Actively seeking peaceful solutions, on the surface the hope for peace still exists.  However, because Wilhelm II of Germany privately patted his chest to express his full support, the outbreak of war was actually a foregone conclusion.

    When history was rushing across Europe with strong inertia, Sun Yuanqi also raised his heart in his throat and immediately began to prepare for the war.  The divisions and brigades in Shandong are of course ready to go, from the Beiyang Army in the northeast to the newly recruited troops in the central provinces, and to Cai E's Yunnan Army in Yunnan, they have all entered a state of first-level combat readiness.  This chilling atmosphere soon spread to every corner of the country. The most direct manifestation was that the price of food on the market suddenly increased by 30%!

    Just when Sun Yuanqi was extremely busy, Kobata Yukichi, the temporary acting minister of Japan in China and the first secretary of the legation, suddenly came to visit.  Sun Yuanqi knew that he came into the house as a night owl - he came for everything. After meeting him, he was too lazy to talk to him. He went straight to the point and asked: "I wonder if Minister Xiaobata is here this time. What advice can you give me?"

    Obata Youyoshi did not answer the question: "Recently I heard that your country privately sent a note to the US government through Mr. Xia Kaifu, Minister to the United States, stating that your country will maintain absolute neutrality from August this year and will not participate in any national alliance. And requested that the United States  I hope to obtain the consent of European countries that no war will be allowed to occur on Chinese territory or leased areas for any reason in the future. I wonder if the news is true?"

    Sun Yuanqi admitted in a bachelor's manner: "It is indeed true. Why, does your country have different opinions?"

    Obata Youyoshi immediately turned harsh and rebuked: "China's attitude in the war is a major event related to the situation in the Far East. It should be discussed with our Japanese government in advance and decided together, so as not to undermine the stability of the Far East and  harming the interests of all countries. Why did China directly raise the issue to the United States? And did not communicate with Japan in advance?Japan exchanged information, but did not report the situation to Japan afterwards. What exactly does China intend to do?  "

    "What? What attitude does China hold in the war? Should it be discussed and decided jointly with the Japanese government? On all diplomatic matters, it is necessary to exchange information with Japan in advance and inform Japan of the situation afterwards?" Sun Yuanqi could hardly believe his ears, and even  It is suspected that there was a mishearing, or that Kobata Yukichi is still hungover and talking nonsense at the moment.

    But Xiaobata Youji had a serious face: "Hai, that's right!"

    Sun Yuanqi was so angry that he almost laughed. If he hadn't been scrupulous about diplomatic etiquette, he would have stepped forward to smear Xiaoban Youji: "What attitude China takes in the war and what views it holds in foreign affairs are China's internal affairs, so why bother?"  Guoyue's agent?"
