After French Intelligence officer, Indiana Jones brought in Princes Xavier and Sixtus of Bourbon-Parma to Vienna, Austria to sign a secret treaty with France and Britain.[1] After the Emperor wavered before signing the treaty, Czernin drafted a document that would have allowed the Austrians to deny knowledge of the treaty in the event that the German Kaiser learned of it.[2]
