Genius remember the address of this site in one second: (apex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! Time is not changed by anyone's thoughts, it moves along its own footsteps, and the crown prince of Austria-Hungary also changes with time Twilight began to prepare to visit Sarajevo, but there was a group of people who didn't welcome him at all.

At the end of March, the news that Archduke Ferdinand was going to visit Sarajevo in the "Spolblan Daily" had already been noticed by those who were interested. In Sarajevo, there is a group called "Young Bosnia" that is keen on national unity. One of the members of this group saw the news and sent it to Nedrico Chabrinovic in Belgrade.

After receiving the letter, Chabrinovic handed it over lunch to Gavrino Prinship, a Serbian nationalist living in Bosnia and attending school in Belgrade. He looked at the clipped news and pondered, and finally, in the evening, he met with Chabrinovic in a coffee shop called Kranz, and proposed the idea of ​​going to Sarajevo to assassinate Archduke Ferdinand together.

Chabrinovic was only 19 years old, and he was more of an anarchist than Prinship, preferring to assassinate the Austro-Hungarian governor of Bosnia, Oskar Portiorek. According to his words, it was because the governor was a servant of the Habsburg dynasty and was sent to Bosnia to torture the Serbs. In the end, however, Prinship persuaded Chabrinovic by faith.

Prinship's suggestion is very positive, although they have no weapons, but they all have links to Serbian black hands. This can be done by the two of them with their help. Prinship once participated in the National Self-Defense Forces, an organization founded in 1908 with the main purpose of resisting the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina by Austria-Hungary. In 1912, he was trained in the National Self-Defense Forces, and the instructor was Major Voya Tankosevich.

This is also a fierce man who killed the Queen's brother with his own hands in Serbia's 1903 coup, and is also a Greater Serb. After the outbreak of the first Balkan war, he hoped to smuggle Prinschip across the Ottoman border to destroy its railways and bridges, to cooperate with the army's operations. However, Prinship, who was only 18 years old at the time, was eliminated from the competition due to his thinness and illness, but he still maintained contact with the National Self-Defense Force.

Later, a more radical organization was split from the National Self-Defense Forces, called the "Unity or Death" organization, which is known as the Black Hand Society. And Princip continued to keep in touch with the Black Hand.

The leader of the 'Black Hand Society' is the Serbian intelligence chief Colonel Dragutin who appeared earlier. And this organization is very mysterious, with heads, bones, daggers, dynamite and a bottle of poison printed on the banner of the Black Hand. This means that their members will kill themselves after completing the assassination operation.

Prinship and Chabrinovic are not Black Hand activists, but know some of them, Milan Siganovic being one of them. He had previously trained with Prinship under Major Tankoswich, but did better than Prinship in training subjects. And Siganovich stole 6 grenades during the Balkan Wars.

After listening to Prinship's plan, Siganovich was willing to provide hidden grenades, and suggested that the two carry pistols in case the grenades didn't explode. At the same time, it is best to ask the former instructor Major Tankoswich for help.

Later, Prinship approached Major Koswich to explain his plan, so the former instructor asked Siganovich to train the two so that they would not miss someone.

After a brief training session, Major Voya Tankoswich provided them with 4 Browning pistols and ammunition, 150 dinars in cash and potassium cyanide, which they could use to commit suicide after assassinating the Archduke. Obviously all of this is supported by the Black Hand.

During the training, Prinship found another person who was willing to go to Sarajevo with the two to assassinate the Austro-Hungarian crown prince. Graberge was also a peripheral member of the Black Hand Society.

After talking with Prinship, he said that he wanted to go too, and Prinship agreed with him considering that Renduo would be assassinated.

On May 26, the three arrived in the border town of Shakba, where Serbian Army Major Popovic waited for them, prepared a plan for their smuggling and provided them with forged documents. Among them, Chabrinovic will be borrowed to enter Zvornik on the Bosnian border. There will be another there will be another reliable person who will drive him to Tuzla and then take the train to Sarajevo.

As for Prinship, the pair will cross the Drina River near Lejesnika with weapons, and a Serbian customs officer will help them sneak across the river. In order to meet Chabri Nord in Tuzla, the two had to pass the police checkpoint in Lupa. Bold and clever, they took advantage of a farmer to leave weapons and ammunition in his car and passed by themselves. The weapons were retrieved at the checkpoint.

The three then met in Tuzla, where they handed the package containing weapons and ammunition to another accomplice, Mishko Ivanovic. This man is both a good citizen (he owns a bank and a cinema) and a member of the Serbian National Guard. Ivanovic kept the weapons and ammunition in his attic, while the others continued to Sarajevo.

While Prinship and others were still in Bosnia, other helpers were already busy. Danilo Ilyich was a school principal, a bank clerk, and a full-time radical nationalist. He took Prinship and Chabrinovic back to his home, where he and his mother were the only ones.

Ilyich met the two when he last went to Belgrade. Prinship wrote to Ilyich in April, roughly speaking about the plan to assassinate Archduke Ferdinand, and suggested that Ilyich recruit a few in Sarajevo. a local assassin. So Ilyich was deep in it before the four came, and now he is getting deeper and deeper.

After Ivanovich got the weapons and ammunition, he hid them in a box of white sugar, wrapped them in white paper and trapped them with hemp ropes. He left the box of sugar in his friend's car for a while, unattended. Later, after receiving a message from Prinship, Ivanovic took the weapon to Sarajevo and gave it to Ilyich.

After Ilyich took over the weapons and ammunition, he locked it in a small box and hid it under the couch in his mother's bedroom.

Now the Assassins from Serbia are ready in Sarajevo, waiting for the visit of Archduke Ferdinand.
