Chapter 1714: Cooperate with the English

A few days later, the spies of the North Sea Kingdom in Paris completed the acquisition of the tavern. It's a bistro that sells cheap beer and wine. After all, taverns are consumed by the big soldiers in the barracks, and they can't afford to sell good wine.

After Kohler's spies took over the tavern, they renovated it briefly. Then, wait for your moment......

During the renovation process, the tavern did not stop selling liquor, but opened a small counter outside the door and continued to sell loose liquor. As for the price, there is no change either. After all, it's not yet time to open.

And at the same time, a team led by Nicholas. The 20-member special forces team led by Cage himself was also on the way to Paris and was specifically responsible for assassination.

Cage's team of Assassins was special because, with the exception of Cage, everyone else was an authentic Englishman......

This group of English special forces was recruited and trained by Marin three years ago. Their mission was to assassinate Marguerite of Tudor, who had fled to Paris.

They come from a unique background, as they are survivors of persecution by the Tudors. Their families were killed by the Tudor kings or the great nobles, and they were the only ones left alive. Therefore, these people hated the Tudor royal family more than anyone else.

Among these 20 people, in fact, the physical fitness of several people does not meet the requirements of special forces. However, because they have the highest hatred for the Tudor royal family, they were made an exception and were approved by Marin to join.

In addition to this, Marin also sent a shipment of hydrochloric acid and nitric acid to Paris. It was intended to be prepared on the spot to corrode the sewer outlet under a city wall not far from the barracks.

As soon as the operation begins, a small detachment will begin to put on gas masks and corrode the iron doors of the sewers. Then, when the assassination is completed, send the special forces who have completed the mission to evacuate. Then, put them on a speedboat on the Seine and escape......

In addition, Marin also asked the Beihai State Military Factory to make a batch of iron-clad grenades and smoke grenades that were detonated with fuses to help assassinate them.

In fact, grenades of this era were very poorly powerful. Because the power of black powder is small, the power of this grenade is similar to that of the earthen grenade made by the small workshop of the Eighth Road during the Anti-Japanese War. If the process is poor, you can only blow up the iron shell in one or two pieces, which is at most terrifying, and it is not too lethal at all.

Even if Marin asked the craftsmen of the North Sea Country to study hard and come up with a bullet casing that is not easy to crack, it can explode and injure a few people. At the same time, it scares people a lot.

But, that's enough! Because, Marin used the grenade this time, not to kill or injure the enemy, but to be scary!

The assassination must have been in the middle of the night, and if it did, it would certainly alarm the Paris city defenses. But Marguerite of Tudor was no more important than François I himself.

At this time, as long as someone detonates a batch of earthen grenades near the Palais de Paris, the sound will definitely startle the Paris city defense army. In the middle of the night, they must have suspected that someone was attacking the palace. At this time, the protection of the king must be a priority, who cares about an exiled foreign nobleman?

In other words, the purpose of this small black powder grenade was to make a big move, and then attract the Paris city defense army to the royal palace. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the assassination team can run away......

As for the smoke grenades, that's a bit awesome......

In addition to the main white phosphorus (extracted from human urine in the simplest way, Marlin arranged for the alchemist to extract it), Marin also added paprika to it......

In this way, when the smoke bomb burns, it also ignites the paprika, releasing a pungent gas that can make people cry......

Such a smoke grenade is, in fact, a complex of smoke grenades and tear gas. It is used to block the pursuers, and the effect is absolutely first-class.

……

However, on the day Cage and his team arrived in Paris, Memphis, the leader of the North Sea spies in Paris, suddenly discovered an important situation - about 100 English Assassins had infiltrated Paris and lurked near the military camp. It seems that the English side also sent Assassins. Moreover, hundreds of people were sent......

Memphis hurriedly reported the situation by flying pigeons, and Marin thought about it, and quickly ordered Memphis to contact the Assassins in England, lest they help and spoil the good thing.

The Assassins in England did not have the same detailed plans and preparations as the North Sea Nation. If they force the assassination, they may not necessarily be able to kill Margaret. Moreover, if the assassination attempt failed, the French would certainly be on guard. When the time comes, there will be no chance at all......

Therefore, in order to prevent the English from doing bad things, Memphis had to send someone to contact the English Assassins......

Johnson, the leader of the Assassins sent by England, was shocked to learn that they had been discovered. And after learning that the person who came was an ally, he was relieved. Although he was skeptical, he knew that if it was an enemy, he would only need to inform the Paris city defenses, and they would be dead. So, he decided to believe Memphis them.

Memphis does not reveal his background in the North Sea Kingdom, but instead claims to be a descendant of the Tudor family's enemies. Although Johnson didn't believe it, as long as he could kill the target, he didn't care.

In fact, the team Johnson brought with him was a death squad, and none of them planned to return alive. But when they heard that the people of the Beihai Kingdom could open the iron gate of the sewer and take them to evacuation safely, they were naturally happy. After all, no one wants to die in vain.

In addition, he was even happier to hear that Memphis was able to ensure that most of the defenders would be drunk on the night of the assassination. However, Johnson's opinion is more ruthless:

"Why use hypnotic drugs? Isn't it better to take chronic poison directly? Anyway, it's the French who died......"

Memphis was stunned for a moment, but quickly felt that it made sense. So, I gave this opinion back to Marin.

Marin was also stunned - yes, why can't I bear to poison those French soldiers? Or is it too heavily influenced by the humanistic ideas of later generations......

He remembered - the French are enemies, so there is no need to be so merciful......

Before, he was still worried, even if he added sleep aids, if there was a shout of killing in the middle of the night, these people would easily wake up. No matter how bad it is, it will be pushed awake by his companions.

However, if you follow the British's words, you should be more ruthless, and you will directly poison those French city guards with a delay of several hours. At that time, no matter how loud the movement is, there is no fear that the assassins will be besieged......

……

Therefore, Marin adjusted the plan again and changed to direct poisoning. Moreover, this chronic poison, which delays the outbreak for several hours, is easier to find, and it is quickly found. Even, it didn't use the imperial doctor from the Ming Dynasty to help. Because, the alchemists of Europe can figure it out......

In addition, the hands-on plan Marin has also been adjusted. Since the English had sent hundreds of Assassins, Cage's men didn't have to take any chances. Marin plans to let Cage and his men carry out the harassment plan. It was to detonate a grenade near the Palais Royale in Paris to create a big movement and attract the attention of the city guards. Then, they will hide in the underground chamber of the pre-prepared house......

What the? You say you're worried that they'll be found out by the French afterwards? In fact, with the cover of that sewer exit, the French would have thought that the enemy had escaped from the city. With the English Assassins to distract the French, Cage would be much safer.

Moreover, the spies of the North Sea Kingdom have not been operating in Paris for nothing all these years, and it is not a problem at all to hide dozens of people......
