Chapter 134: Paranoia

Ruhl, who had already fallen into the paranoia of persecution, picked up a Colt revolver with the help of alcohol on this day, ready to give the "persecuted" Archduke of Luxembourg a little color. He was lucky enough to stay outside the Grand Ducal Palace and soon discovered the whereabouts of his target.

Downing was not so obsessed with Marlena that he had to see him every day, this time, he was just going to the barracks to see the newly arrived Desert Fox and Desert Eagle, because it was getting late and his assistants were already off work, so he went on his way alone.

Downing wasn't a fool, even if he hadn't noticed anyone tailing while he was in the city, and there was no reason why he hadn't spotted a botched stalker as he drove his SMART down the empty road to the Hessian.

Tang Ning continued his trip quietly, and even after arriving at the barracks, he did not take the initiative to tell the guards of the barracks that there was a small tail behind him, and the military police naturally noticed the suspicious vehicle following the Grand Duke, and asked: "Your Royal Highness, the car behind is ......"

Tang Ning said lightly: "I don't know, it seems to have been following me." ”

He spoke lightly, but the military police suddenly cheered up, and the FN-1855 rifle was quickly loaded, and a fellow soldier went to interrogate him.

Ruhr has a ghost in his heart, seeing that the situation is not good, he slammed on the "accelerator", of course, this is a figurative statement, fuel cell vehicles have no accelerator, only "electric pedal".

The little leader of the Hessian regiment was almost hit by a car, so he quickly flashed to the side, cursed in a thick Hessian accent of German, and turned back to beckon a military vehicle painted with camouflage to go in pursuit. The little boss came to the Grand Duke and reported: "The suspicious vehicle has escaped, please rest assured, we will definitely catch him!" ”

Tang Ning nodded slightly, didn't say anything, only said: "It's hard work." ”

When the Grand Duke walked away, the little boss scratched his head and muttered: "Damn, the Grand Duke is so calm, aren't you afraid that person is here to assassinate?" ”

Of course, Downing is calm, he knows that the other party is non-professional at a glance, and besides, his SMART is a bulletproof version, I'm afraid that only FN-1855 can penetrate his seemingly inconspicuous SMART when shooting multiple bullets, and the amateur suspicious elements obviously can't have any big killers, and the chance of shooting is minimal, so what's there to worry about?

Several high-ranking generals, including the head of the Hessian Regiment, Broadrucker, and the commander of the Satsuma Regiment, Saigo Takamori, watched the two newly invented firearms and marveled.

Saigo was a more perceptive person, and asked in broken English, "Grand Duke, it was a little noisy outside just now, did something happen?" ”

Tang Ning said indifferently: "Someone followed me just now, and after being interrogated, he ran away. ”

This is the territory of the Hessian Regiment, and Brodrouck hurries to raise the alert level with his men.

Downing didn't stop Broadrucker, and after he left, Downing, as a weapons expert, examined two new weapons made in Belgium, hundreds of kilometers away. This is Downing drew a mechanical drawing and then made it by a very mature gunsmith who came out of his ****, which basically met his expectations.

For weapons, reliability is the most important thing for Downing, firearm failure is more fatal than any failure, and has a huge impact on the morale of the army and police, so he first has to visually inspect the workmanship of these new guns, whether they fit tightly in key places, listen to the sound of triggers, locking mechanisms, safety bolts and other activity mechanisms is crisp and pleasant, and feel whether it is smooth and whether the frustration is in line with expectations.

It is worthy of being a good guy in CNC machine tool processing, coupled with the steel smelted by the open-hearth method of Eurosteel, these munitions are absolutely the most accurate and reliable in the world. Saigo Takamori and Broadruck are still sighing, fortunately, they are following the Grand Duke, if anyone is a big enemy like the Grand Duke, it is really terrible, and he has another title - god-level gunsmith. This semi-automatic pistol's clever use of recoil is like a masterpiece.

Next, it's time to actually fire it to test the real performance. In order to practice marksmanship at all times, the Hessian regimental barracks were equipped with an underground shooting range.

Downing's biggest concern was the reliability of the Desert Eagle, because in order to obtain a long range, the rifle used the pneumatic mechanism, although a large number of tests have shown its reliability, Downing still has to fire a few shots to feel it.

In order to achieve the reliability required by Downing, the current Desert Eagle has a shorter range of 200 meters than the original design, and a precise range of 160 meters, but it can still fire much more harshly than the eagle's scream in the sky, and it is the only thing that displeased Downing.

"How's this gun?" Tang Ning asked Takamori Saigo beside him.

Saigo Takamori sighed: "Don't talk about FN-1855, even if there is only the help of the Desert Eagle, my Satsuma Province will quickly pacify the world and move towards the path of reform to learn from the European powers under the leadership of the Shimazu feudal lord." ”

Tang Ning smiled: "It seems that this gun can really be used as the main weapon of the army, especially against the enemy who is still using flintlock pistols at most." Oh, how is the health of the lord of the Shimazu domain? ”

The Zunshoku faction headed by Ii Naobi and the Satsuma Domain, the Choshu Domain-based Emperor Constitutionalist faction are incompatible, Shimazu Qibin has ordered the 5,000 troops of the Honda Domain, and wants to go north to attack Edo, but the feudal lord suddenly fell ill when reviewing the army, and now there are only two places in Nagasaki and Edo in Japan with Windsor Hospital, and when he learned the news that Shimazu Qibin was critically ill, the attending doctor of Nagasaki Windsor Hospital hurriedly led the medical team to Kagoshima, and then the doctor diagnosed it with cholera, which is not a big deal in the eyes of Windsor Hospital, Although Shimazu Saibin's condition was severe at that time, and after the alleviation of oral rehydration salts and the treatment of antibacterial drugs, the feudal lord gradually recovered his health, but he himself no longer had the pride to go to war in person, and it is said that when he was seriously ill, he missed Saigo Takamori very much, and urgently summoned Saigo back to Satsuma, and not long after Saigo got on the ship, the news of Shimazu Saibin's condition improved came from the ship, and the feudal lord informed Saigo to continue to serve in Luxembourg in order to obtain the support of the Grand Duke of Luxembourg, so Saigo was still in Luxembourg.

Hearing Tang Ning's question, Saigo said sincerely: "Thanks to you, the domain lord's health is recovering well. ”

Of course, Tangning is clear about what happened in Japan, and Saigo has been verbose many times, and at this time he feels that he no longer needs to say much, so as not to be unhappy with the Grand Duke.

Saigo's big face was five big and three thick, but it was as sincere as a child, looking at Tang Ning.

Tang Ning sighed: "It seems that the two factions are going to make an end...... I'll give Ii an ultimatum. ”

Saigo was overjoyed, as long as the Grand Duke nodded, the probability of success of Satsuma's Northern Expedition was almost 100 percent, and with Saigo's understanding of the military of the Western powers, no country's weapons were as advanced as the Grand Duke's army, and the Grand Duke's influence on the foreign policy of Britain and France was also quite huge.

This battle could not be without Saigo Takamori's participation, otherwise even if he won, the credit would not be Saigo's, so Tang Ning sent half of the Satsuma regiment to return to Kagoshima with Saigo Takamori "King Qin", 1,000 people, as for how to fight, Tang Ning did not have any instructions, he was not familiar with Japan, so how to toss with Saigo.

These 1,000 men were the elite of the army who had gone through the Luxembourg counterinsurgency campaign, and they were proficient in using the FN-1855, and they were quite sure that they would be able to deal with the shogunate's outdated troops.

At this time, the barracks guards had already arrested the suspicious person and brought people back with a car, and escorted him to the Grand Duke. Is that you, do you want to follow me? ”

Ruhr's drunken smell was smelled by Tangning from afar, and the guard in charge of the pursuit reported the situation: "Grand Duke, this man has a revolver, and after our preliminary interrogation, he confessed to wanting to assassinate you!" ”

Downing was taken aback and asked, "Why?" ”

Ruhl repeatedly shouted: "I want to prove myself!" ”

Alas, Tang Ning shook his head, this bear child, the firearms were confiscated and handed over to the police for disposal. Tang Ning did not explain anything to the police department, neither said severe punishment nor leniency, but this was a prisoner handed over by the military, and the police station attached great importance to it.

Under the interrogation of the police, Ruhl confessed his plan to assassinate him, and this man was very kind, and he actually went to the police station and was still clamoring for a duel with the Grand Duke. What a big feud this is, the Grand Duke is jealous because of the Kangkang dancer and the second generation of local tyrants.

The next day, when Ruhl came to his senses, he didn't realize the magnitude of the crime he had committed, and it wasn't until his father and lawyer arrived that they learned that the prosecutor had applied to the court for a felony without bail. Intended to assassinate the head of state, and he was also the equivalent of the emperor's dictator, the lawyer looked very stern. Old Builong asked to see the Grand Duke three times and twice, but he didn't get it, and the family felt that the situation was serious.

The prosecutor also visited the Grand Duke and said that the suspect would be prosecuted for treason, and as for the sentencing, it was possible from several years in prison to the death penalty, depending on the Grand Duke's intentions.

Tang Ning read the prosecutor's transcript, it was very strange, he was jealous and not so strict, he actually wanted you to live or die? It's a little too godly. (http：／／.）。 He is still hesitating here to teach this kid a lesson, the public opinion has spread the scandal between the Grand Duke and the second generation of local tyrants competing for female stars, and the traditional anti-Windsor force of The Times is even more tiraform and spares no effort. In the past, most of the scandals in Tangning had no evidence, but this time it was different, and they all made you die. Tang Ning couldn't help but be angry when he saw it, this must be the rumor released by Ruhr in order to win the sympathy of public opinion, slandering the reputation of the Grand Duke for bullying people.

In any case, it is certain that you will kneel the cactus in front of the Grand Duchess. That Ruhr is such a reckless psychopath.

The police have found Marlena to record a statement, and at this time Marlena knows that she is the heroine of this global turmoil, ah? The Grand Duke is jealous of me? No, I haven't seen it at all...... Although my mother said that the Grand Duke was sitting in the audience that day, she was too low-key to see it.
