Chapter 206: Assassination
Anyone who knows Hu Biao's habits knows that every time he goes out to inspect unnecessary, Hu Biao rarely travels by plane. After inspecting from Shillong, Hu Biao, under the protection of the guards, soon appeared in the lively Yongfu City.
As the colonial situation became more and more stable, this first trading city attracted more and more merchants to gather here. Materials brought from overseas are also continuously transported into Yunnan Province through here.
Correspondingly, various materials exported domestically are also sold to all parts of the world through here. The materials needed by the factories in the southwestern colonies alone were enough to benefit many merchants and ordinary people in the three southwestern provinces.
As a consequence of the prosperity of the trade routes, Vinh Phuc City continued to expand and the number of merchants living in the city increased. For the neighboring people, they don't feel uncomfortable at all when they enter Yongfu City, and there are just a little more foreign devils.
In fact, as there was no more war in the Southwest Colony, many adventurous foreign merchants also began to enter the Southwest Colony, setting up trading houses on the side of Vinh Phuc City, selling all kinds of goods shipped from the country, and earning huge profits.
In terms of commercial trade, Hu Biao has always taken a supportive attitude. Merchants only need to pay a certain amount of commercial taxes, and the rest of the excesses and miscellaneous taxes are not seen here at all. Most of the civil officials in charge of Vinh Phuc appear to be very diligent.
Because these people know that once they accept bribes from vendors, or collect undue money from vendors. So what awaits them, losing their official position is only this time, and in serious cases, they may be imprisoned or even shot in public trial.
Secondly, for the traders who come to the business, the crime of bribery is not light. The penalty is severe, and the penalty is outright deportation. Obviously, you can pay taxes according to the regulations, but you have to go the wrong way. This kind of businessman, Hu Biao is also resolutely unwelcome.
With Shi Qingrou, who accompanied him, wandered on the crowded streets, Shi Qingrou, who grew up in Menia, also said happily: "It's hard to imagine that there is such a lively commercial street in the East, and it is more lively than Chinatown!" ”
"Is it lively? When the war is over, I believe that there will be more and more lively cities like this. In the future, I will also focus on commercial trade in my control area. At least I hope that the future commercial city of the East will appear on my territory. ”
"Hmmm! You can do it! ”
In addition to working, Shi Qingrou looks very dignified and dutiful. Only when she goes out and hangs out does she regain her true nature. And for her, she enjoys this kind of life of going out to shop and play, and she also knows that this is Hu Biao's love for her.
After spending the night in Yongfu City, he set off early the next day, preparing to go to Zhenning Mansion to wait for Brooke's arrival. According to Brooke's itinerary, the envoys sent by Menia and England have also set off for Zhenning Mansion.
Looking at Shi Qingrou who was lying in her arms with sleepy eyes, Hu Biao, who was hugging her, also smiled and said, "Didn't you sleep well?" ”
"Humph! You tell me? Bad apple! Why are you so greedy! ”
Hu Biao, who was complained, could only smile and not speak. Even if Hu Biao felt a little wronged, it was obvious that the other party provoked the war last night. And what Hu Biao did was just try his best to extinguish the fire, but now he is still being complained!
Holding the tired girl in his arms, Hu Biao was also very considerate: "Then you have a good rest!" Anyway, it will take a lot of time to go back all the way! Remember, don't provoke easily next time, otherwise the consequences will be serious! ”
"Humph! You men, you guys like to have different hearts! However, I will forgive you this time! ”
Thinking of last night's madness, Shi Qingrou also felt a little blushing. For her, even some things are already very calm. But she never thought that Hu Biao, who was aroused by interest, also had such a fierce and rude side.
I chose to start early in the morning, but I also knew that there were not many vehicles on the road at this time. The guards who are in charge of guarding the open road are always on the lookout for the situation around the road. These personal guards, without exception, are carefully selected elites.
They have carried out this kind of guard duty countless times, and occasionally encountered attacks. And this time, when the guard car responsible for opening the road just entered a road along the mountain, the guard team immediately said: "Stop advancing!" ”
"What's wrong?"
"Something is wrong! Although there are not many pedestrians on the road at this time, it is impossible not to have one, right? Cars No. 2 and No. 3 carried out reconnaissance in advance. Focus on inspecting the jungle around the commanding heights of the highway! ”
"Yes, Captain!"
As a result, what the vigilant convoy did not expect was that just when the convoy stopped advancing, Hu Biao, who was paying attention to the situation outside, soon saw the flames flying from the top of the mountain. Holding Shi Qingrou tightly in his arms, he kicked the car door and shouted: "Shelling! Disperse! ”
Holding Shi lightly, he jumped out of the car and rolled directly into the grass next to the road. Just when Shi Qingrou was awakened, Hu Biao hugged her and said, "Gentle, lie down!" Don't make a sound! We're in a bit of trouble! ”
"Good! Be careful! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a violent explosion was heard on the road. What shocked Hu Biao and the guards into a cold sweat was that the car in which Hu Biao was riding was directly hit by a shell, and the driver of the car was also killed instantly.
"Xiao Wang! Damn it! Flare up and order the guards to block the surrounding jungle and get out of the attackers to avenge their brothers. I also wonder who wanted to kill me like this! Hum! ”
In the face of waves of shells, when Hu Biao gave orders to the approaching guards, he quickly took out an extended version of the body armor, ignored Shi Qingrou, who was stunned, and put the body armor on it.
Then he whispered, "Gentle, you stay here, I need to fight!" Don't worry, I'll be back soon! ”
"Hmm!"
Although he was reluctant to leave, Shi Qingrou knew that at this time, he would definitely not be able to stop Hu Biao. What's more, her name sounds very squeamish, but her actual combat effectiveness is not weak. Individual combat ability, ordinary guards may not be as strong as her.
As three flares were fired into the air, one of the attackers, who was at the top of the road, said with a slight panic: "Quick! Keep shooting the shells, we don't have much time left, we must complete the mission! ”
"Yes, sir!"
Hu Biao, who also wore body armor, began to use tactical sign language to direct the remaining guards to disperse and dodge the shells coming down from the mountain.
Not long after, Hu Biao, who found the vacancy, threw out a few mortars and said: "Build an artillery position on the spot and start a counterattack!" Snipers, start infiltrating, create chaos and buy time for the artillery! ”
"Yes, wolfhead!"
Faced with the mortar that appeared out of thin air, some veteran team members instantly calmed down and said secretly: "I haven't seen this scene for a long time!" These attackers are waiting to be slaughtered! Dare to assassinate the wolf's head, the courage is really boundless! ”
The guards who were responsible for following up and protecting heard the sound of shelling coming from the front and realized that the situation was not good. When I saw the three flares that flew into the air, I realized that the situation was critical. The commander who led the team immediately gave the order to speed up.
At the same time, after receiving an urgent call from the guards, Sun Erxi and Liu Shixing, who were located in Zhenning Mansion, also looked extremely shocked. Sun Erxi even said: "Immediately connect the air team, let the combat readiness team attack immediately!" ”
"Yes, Captain!"
Liu Shixing, who felt that he had been slapped in the face, said: "Send a report to the garrison of Yongfu City, and order it to immediately block the traffic arteries and track down all suspicious people." The nearest garrison began to encircle the highway area, and not a single living person was allowed to be spared! ”
"Yes, Bureau!"
If it weren't for the telegram, Hu Biao was told that he was still safe, but I was afraid that Sun Erxi and Liu Shixing would go crazy. Everyone knows the importance of Hu Biao to the Wolf Army. Once Hu Biao has an accident, I am afraid that the consequences will be catastrophic!
The garrison of Yongfu City, which was going out for exercises, received a telegram from Liu Shixing, and the commander of the garrison also felt a loud buzz in his head, and immediately shouted: "Adjutant, pull the alarm!" Level 1 Combat Readiness! Grandma, some people are really tired of living! ”
As the terrible sirens sounded, the garrisons of the barracks looked sluggish. The commanders of each regiment also rushed to the division headquarters with their hands and feet. They all knew that the alarm was unusual, and something big must have happened.
At this time, the guards, which had already established several counterattack positions, began to launch artillery fire on the attackers on the top of the hill. Looking at the shells flying from the bottom of the mountain, the attacker was also stunned and said: "Impossible! How do they have mortars? ”
If the mortar shocked them, then the next scene was even more unacceptable to the attackers. Looking at the quickly erected and adjusted honeycomb cylinder, Hu Biao sneered: "You are very fortunate to have the opportunity to see this secret weapon!" ”
With the rapid development of the research of the Wolf Army's rocket artillery, Hu Biao also instructed the military research and development department to imitate a light rocket launcher that Hu Biao loved in later generations. In previous lives, it was also known as an assault rifle best suited to fight guerrilla, rocket artillery families.
Press the launch button, and the rocket launcher loaded with twelve rockets will fly out of the barrel in a few breaths. In the face of the surging rocket artillery, the attackers who participated in the ambush also had a feeling of complete shock.
"Rocket artillery! How is this possible? ”
Without explaining to them, with twelve rockets, covering the area where the hilltop attackers were. The surviving guards said without saying a word: "Assault!" Fight to catch a few live mouths and attack! ”
Originally, Hu Biao wanted to participate, but was stopped by the guards around him and said: "Wolf head, leave the rest of the battle to us." If the regimental commander knew about involving you in battle, we would have been skinned by him! ”
"He dares! Okay, let the brothers be careful, I'm here to watch! ”
"Yes, wolfhead!"
A wave of rocket artillery was fired, and the artillery set up by the attackers on the top of the hill was almost destroyed. Even if there are surviving attackers, facing the outflanking guard commandos, waiting for their fate to die without surrendering!
Listening to the attacker's words of 'Long live His Majesty the Emperor' before he died, the guards also cursed, "Damn little devil! ”
Only Hu Biao listened to the report of the guards, but felt that things were far from as simple as they seemed. Let people take off the pants of the attacker, look at the big pants that the attacker is wearing, and the guards also know what it means!
If the attacker was not sent by the little devil, then who instructed the attacker?
