Palermo gradually revives in the early morning. In this largest city in Sicily, buildings of various styles can be seen everywhere. There are both the mainstream European Baroque style and Arabic and other styles. The buildings of various styles are intertwined, making Palermo
Lemobie has a unique flavor.
"Ding ding ding..."
The sound of the alarm clock woke up the sleeping Gabrielsi, and he stretched out his hand to interrupt the alarm reminder.
The hard bed made Gabrieli not sleep well, but he was still satisfied with it. After getting up, Gabrieli stood in the mirror and looked at his own image, and couldn't help but frown. His messy hair matched
A sloppy beard doesn't look good at all and needs some grooming.
After washing his face, Gabrielsi picked up a comb and dipped it in water to comb his hair, and then used a razor to hang up his beard. Gabrielsi did all this very seriously, as if it was the most important thing to him.
.
After taking care of himself, he took out his best clothes and put them on. From all aspects, he looked like he was going to a banquet, but then he took out a pistol from the box he was carrying.
Judging from the inscription on the gun body, this is a Colt revolver. Yes, this is the more famous m1873 single-action revolver, and it is the Sheriff type with the shortest gun body. The gun barrel is only 89
mm, it is very suitable for hiding under clothes, and this is what he values most.
That's right, Gabrielsi plans to do a big thing today, and he has already made everyone remember his mission, and this gun is what he relies on.
Gabrielsi's background is not bad at all. His father was originally a businessman, so he was able to provide for him to go to school. Gabrielsi came into contact with anarchism in college, and he very much agreed with it. And he believed that the government was just
The blood-sucking insects on the people have no effect at all.
So after finishing college, he plunged into the embrace of anarchism and publicly advocated anarchist ideas many times. If Tai had not had a relatively wealthy father, he would have been arrested by the police long ago.
But even with his father's protection, no one believed what he preached.
Faced with such a situation, the idea of making a big news and attracting people's attention was born. Doing something big that will shock the world will make people pay attention to your opinions.
There was nothing more shocking to the world than the assassination of a monarch. The one he chose was the new king Umberto I, so these days he was preparing weapons and assassination plans while paying attention to the king's movements.
Fortunately, the new king had only been on board for about a year, and he often inspected everywhere. He was also the focus of newspaper reports, so he avoided a lot of trouble.
On the wall of the bathroom, there is also a photo of Umberto I cut out from a newspaper.
After taking care of it, no one could tell that Gabrielsi was an assassin, and he took off his hat with satisfaction and went out. Today will be a day worth remembering for the world.
The Norman Palace in Palermo was built in 1100. It was originally a newly built royal palace by the Romans. Later, it was built by Byzantines and Arabs, and two different styles were added, making the palace even more exotic, so much so that it is even more exotic in Sicily.
During the Kingdom Era, it was valued by the King of Sicily and became the king's residence.
After the unification of Italy, it was taken over by the royal family and became the residence of the king when he arrived in Palermo. After Umberto visited Palermo, he naturally stayed here.
Umberto, who is now the king, is also preparing to go out. Today he needs to go to the city hall to listen to Mayor Romi's city plan. At noon, he will have lunch with local celebrities. In the afternoon, he will have a parade with the people to let the people of Palermo
The people felt the kindness of the new king.
"Your Majesty, you are ready to go."
The captain of the bodyguard, Baron Filmicchi, walked into the room and reported to Umberto who was reading the information.
"Okay, let's set off now."
Putting away the documents in his hand, Umberto, wearing a formal dress, followed the captain of the guard and walked out.
On the road inside the palace, several exquisite carriages with royal emblems were already waiting here, as were the cavalry guards responsible for security.
After Umberto and his entourage boarded the carriage, the convoy slowly walked out under the command of the coachman. At this time, the Guards Cavalry tightly protected the convoy and escorted His Majesty the King to the City Hall.
The motorcade leaving the Roman Palace was driving on the street, and the streets were lined with people who wanted to see the king's majesty. The police had to block these people to prevent someone from suddenly disturbing the motorcade.
Gabrielsi did not blend in with the crowd, because he secretly bought a copy of the king's itinerary. He would choose the right time and appear in the right place to give the king a fatal blow.
Umberto, who had no idea that someone outside was thinking about him, was familiarizing himself with the information in his hand in the carriage. Although his eyes showed fatigue from many days of continuous inspections, this was also his responsibility. He needed to understand today's work.
In particular, the celebrities who had lunch with him at noon were related to the development of Palermo, and he needed to have a full understanding of these people.
Although these things can be understood by the captain of the guard, and he can wait for the captain of the guard to give hints, for Umberto, the effect of being introduced by the captain of the guard is different from saying it himself, and it can bring closer the relationship with these celebrities. This is very important for Umberto.
Very important to the kingdom.
When the motorcade arrived at the city hall, Mayor Narsh was already waiting at the door with officials.
"Welcome to Palermo, Your Majesty."
The mayor and his people came forward to greet Umberto who got off the bus.
"Thank you for the welcome ceremony, which impressed me deeply."
Umberto said thanks casually, and then entered the city hall under the leadership of the mayor.
After the king entered the city hall, the welcoming crowd dispersed, revealing the figure of Gabrielsi.
Yes, he is here, mainly to get familiar with his target, King Umberto. After all, the photo of him in the newspaper is too blurry. Only by seeing it with his own eyes can he ensure that there are no mistakes.
Now that he had seen his goal, Gabrielsi left with satisfaction, and he would not come back until the afternoon.
The sun is gradually rising, and the heat it emits is already making people feel uncomfortable.
But the crowd in Palermo was not affected at all. At noon, some people gathered in the Town Hall Square. Some of them held the flag of the Kingdom of Italy, and some held the portrait of His Majesty the King. They were waiting for His Majesty with lights and colorful decorations.
of travel.
Gabrielsi was also among them, and in order to conceal his identity, he also held a flag of the Kingdom of Italy and squeezed to the front, even though his back was wet with sweat.
He didn't have to wait long before the police came to maintain order. What made him even more delighted was that a white open carriage appeared at the city hall. It seemed that the target was about to appear, which made him even more excited.
The same goes for the waiting crowd. They are also shouting excitedly to see the king.
No one had to wait long before Umberto appeared at the door and waved to the waiting crowd with a smile.
"Mayor Narsh, please take the same car as me."
Beside the carriage, King Umberto's words made the mayor ecstatic.
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty."
The excited mayor waited until King Umberto got on the bus, then sat down opposite the king excitedly, and also squeezed the captain of the guard to the other side, which made the captain of the guard, Baron Felicius, frown slightly. But when he saw
He said nothing more to the mayor who apologized to him. Afterwards, he regretted it very much.
After everyone got on the bus, the parade started under the protection of the Guards Cavalry. The people of Palermo showed great enthusiasm for the new king and waved to salute the king. Facing the enthusiastic people, Umberto
The king also responded, everything seemed so natural.
"It's close."
"Closer."
Gabrielsi, who was in the crowd, watched the carriage approaching with great joy. He quietly lowered his flag on the way and waited until the carriage arrived. At this moment, he had no sense of excitement about taking action. Instead, he was unusually calm, calm enough to observe.
The movements of the target’s fellow passengers.
The person sitting opposite the king is the mayor of the city. He is waving to people with the target, and the person blocked by him should be a security guard because he is looking around vigilantly, but because of the mayor's blocking,
He saw some difficulties on his side.
After the carriage arrived beside him, Gabrielsi pretended to be tripped due to excitement and appeared on the road as if he wanted to regain his balance. This move made the cavalry guarding the side stunned for a moment, and he took advantage of the opportunity.
The cavalryman was stunned for a moment and quickly took out his pistol. He was very proficient in this action because he had practiced it thousands of times before. He knew that his time was limited and he had to draw his gun and shoot in the shortest possible time.
At this rare moment, he did the same thing. What's more important is that the target in front of him just turned his head to the other side, knowing nothing about his sudden assassin. There is no better opportunity than this, old man
Help yourself every day.
"Pah, pah, pah."
Before anyone else could stop him, Gabrielsi fired three shots at close range, hitting the king all the time.
The sudden shooting stunned the scene. Before Gabrisi could shoot again, the guards who responded had already swarmed up and subdued him.
It's just that the blood stains on the king's body are so eye-catching.
