My Italy

Palermo gradually recovered in the early morning. In Sicily's largest city, 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, giving Palermo a unique flavor.

"Ding ding ding..."

The ringing of the alarm clock woke up the sleeping Gabrielsi, and he stretched out his hand to interrupt the alarm reminder.

The hard bed made Gabrielsi not sleep well, but he was still satisfied with it. After getting up, Gabrielsi stood in the mirror and looked at his own image, and couldn't help but frown. Messy hair and a scraggy beard don’t look good at all and need to be taken care of.

After washing his face, Gabrielsi took a comb and dipped it in water to comb his hair, 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's type with the shortest gun body. The barrel of the gun is only 89 mm long, which is very suitable for hiding in 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 business, and this gun is what he relies on.

Gabrielsi's background was not bad at all. His father was originally a businessman, so he was able to provide for him to go to school. Gabrisi was exposed to anarchism in college, and he was very sympathetic to it. Moreover, he believes that the government is just a blood-sucking insect on the people and has no effect at all.

So after attending college, he plunged headlong into the embrace of anarchism and publicly advocated anarchist ideas many times. If Tai Tai didn't have a relatively rich 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 this situation, the idea of ​​making big news and attracting people's attention was born. Do something big that will shock the world and 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 Period, 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, it was natural that he would stay 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, we 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. 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 after many consecutive days of inspections, this was also his responsibility. He needed to understand today's work, especially the celebrities who had lunch with him at noon, which were related to the development of Palermo. He needed to understand these. People have full understanding.

Although these things can be understood by the captain of the guard, and he can wait for the captain of the guard to give him a hint, for Umberto, being introduced by the captain of the guard has a different effect than speaking out himself, and it can bring closer the relationship with these celebrities. This is 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 car.

"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, his photo 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 saw his goal, Gabrisi 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 colors. 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.

There was no waiting for long before Umberto appeared at the door, waving to the waiting crowd with a smile.

"Mayor Narsh, please ride in the same car as me."

Beside the carriage, King Umberto's words made His Excellency the Mayor ecstatic.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty."

The excited Mr. 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 Filmicchi, frown slightly. But when he saw the mayor apologizing to him, he didn't say anything more about it. Afterwards, he regretted it very much.

After everyone got on the bus, the parade began under the protection of the Guards Cavalry. For the new king, the people of Palermo showed great enthusiasm and waved to salute the king. Facing the enthusiastic people, King Umberto also responded, everything seemed so natural.

"Close."

"Closer."

Gabrielsi, who was in the crowd, watched the carriage approaching with great joy. On the way, he quietly lowered the flag and waited for the carriage to arrive. At this moment, he didn't feel excited to take action at all. Instead, he was extremely calm, so calm that he could still 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 stumble 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 cavalry's dazed moment to quickly take 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.

In this rare moment, he did the same. More importantly, the target in front of him turned his head to the other side and knew nothing about his sudden assassin. There is no better opportunity than this, and God is helping you.

"Pah, pah, pah."

Before anyone else could stop him, Gabrielsi fired three shots at close range, hitting the king each time.

The sudden shooting stunned the scene. Before Gabrisi could shoot again, the guards who reacted had already swarmed up and subdued him.

It's just that the blood stains on the king's body are so eye-catching.
