Chapter 279: Assassination
In the long history of human civilization, assassins and skilled women are definitely two long-standing professions. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info At the beginning, these two professions were engaged in by men, which has nothing to do with this book, skip it. In the history of both the East and the West, there have been many assassinations that shook the world and changed the direction of the world. Those famous figures are remembered in history along with their assassins.
At this moment, Zhang Cheng, as the ruler of the Ming Empire, the most powerful country on the earth, to say that no one wants his life is nonsense. On the contrary, there are many, many people who want him to die.
Therefore, it is normal for someone to want to kill Zhang Cheng at this moment. Only this time it wasn't a secret service to do it, but an elite army. This elite army was not the American rookies who were discovered when they infiltrated the battle lines, but by George Brown, who managed to escape from the island of Malta. Feng. GSG-9 special forces under Colonel Norman.
There are many smart people among the Germans, and they can naturally see that the Ming Dynasty has begun to gradually gain an advantage in the war, and at the same time, they can also see the importance of Zhang Cheng to the Ming Dynasty.
Compared with the strong Zhang Cheng, if Zhang Cheng is allowed to disappear, maybe the successor of the Ming Dynasty will change his tough attitude at the moment, so as to give the countries that have long been frightened a chance to come to the negotiating table.
If Zhang Cheng really dies violently, causing the Ming Dynasty to fall into the infighting for power and profit, they may still have the possibility of winning this war. In any case, Zhang Cheng, who has an extremely tough stance, is definitely the enemy of all of them.
Just look at what happened to Japan, and now after the defeat of the war, there is no country left. There is no such thing as land reparations at all. The whole country was annexed and became the Eleventh District, what the hell is that?
No country at war wants to be the next Japan. Zhang Cheng, the hardline leader of the extreme main battle faction, has become a thorn in the side of countless people. Not only the allies, but even within the Ming Dynasty, many people regard Zhang Cheng as a thorn in the side. They took a risky way to facilitate the Germans, and this risk was deadly.
The Americans' special operations capability is very poor, because for a long time, there is no strong enemy to train them on the safe road of the Americas, and the threat of the Ming Dynasty is to be resisted by the navy.
The Germans are different, the European continent was once full of colonies of the Ming Dynasty, in order to fight against the Ming Dynasty to recover the country, the Germans have always been fighting on the front line. Their combat experience is far from being comparable to that of the Americans. Moreover, because of the previous self-isolation and burying themselves in the development of economy and industry, the Americans and the Ming have little to do with each other. The Germans, on the other hand, were able to get help from some of the forces of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, the rookies of the Americans were caught when they infiltrated the Line of Control, while the Germans were able to sneak into the hinterland of the Ming positions with the covert help of some Ming officers.
After Zhang Chengzhi became the ruler of the Ming Empire, he stayed in the imperial capital for a long time. There is almost no chance of success in launching an assassination attempt against Zhang Cheng in the imperial capital. In times of war, it is very difficult to even infiltrate the imperial capital, let alone assassinate a head of state.
This time Zhang Cheng came to the North African theater to inspect and cheer up the army, which was a very rare and good opportunity. The Germans, unwilling to miss this opportunity, sent one of their most elite troops on the mission. They had the covert support of certain high-ranking officers of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhang Cheng will go to the front line to inspect the troops, and his itinerary is all top secret. However, the people who had access to the itinerary were all high-ranking people, and some of them leaked this top-secret information to the Allies.
Zhang Cheng will go to the 2nd Panzer Division, which is deployed on the front line, and he has two options for his trip. One is a convoy heading through the coast road, and the other is by airplane. As for which way to choose, Zhang Cheng will only make the final decision when he sets off.
In order to seize this rare opportunity, the allies first sent a rookie army to take the initiative to attract the will of Zhu Daming. After all, Zhang Cheng's visit to the North African theater to inspect this kind of thing has already been publicized, and if the allies have no reaction at all, it will seem too weird. Sending a rookie to scare the snake also allows Zhang Cheng to let down his guard, believing that the Allied forces have been successfully stopped.
As for the real means, it was the elite pilots and the elite ground units of Colonel Norman, who were carefully selected from all over the army. They will be responsible for air attacks as well as ground attacks, respectively. In order to eliminate Zhang Cheng, the biggest stumbling block to the Allied victory, with a single blow.
Zhang Cheng stayed in Tripoli for two days, inspected the troops stationed there, and then set off for the front line to inspect the Second Armored Division. Instead of taking a fast plane, he chose to set off in a convoy. Of course, in order to ensure safety and increase concealment, the air route also departs at the same time.
......
"Your Excellency, everything has been arranged." Because Wang Dexiang wanted to stay in Tripoli to preside over all the work in the North African theater, he did not accompany him on this inspection mission. And the person who appeared in Zhang Cheng's car now was a person who should not have appeared here, Xiao Hongbao.
"Hmm." Zhang Cheng, who closed his eyes and recuperated, nodded, opened his eyes, turned his head to look at the endless desert and Gobi outside the car window, and asked with a cold expression, "When?" ”
"Half an hour at most." Xiao Hongbao, who appeared here inexplicably, responded: "Those Germans are all ambushed in an oasis supply point half an hour ahead. Moreover, news came out from our internal line that all the Allied fighter units preparing to block the air route had taken off. ”
Zhang Cheng was not at all surprised that the Allies would launch a large-scale assassination plan against him, because he had already known the whole story!
The Ming Dynasty has been rampant in the world for hundreds of years, and all kinds of power and tentacles are almost all over the world. The intelligence department adapted from Jinyiwei back then is far from being comparable to those rising stars in Western countries.
Although the details of the Allied plan are not known, the Allied forces planning an attack on Zhang Cheng have been known by the Ming intelligence system. After a brief inference and a few small tests, the experts of the intelligence system quickly understood that there must be an internal ghost. As for who the inner ghost is, a small intelligence test is enough to track it down.
"Are you all ready?" Zhang Cheng sighed lightly and asked out loud.
"It's all ready." Xiao Hongbao answered: "Colonel Zhang Da has personally led the troops to make preparations. The army aviation group has already set off, and now it is waiting for your order. ”
"Is that him?" Zhang Cheng didn't give any orders, but asked a little inexplicably.
Xiao Hongbao paused slightly, nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Zhang Cheng slowly opened the window and leaned against the backrest, feeling the scorching hot wind in the desert area. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke, "The convoy stops moving forward and calls him over." Send a signal to Zhang Da and he can start. ”
Mu Feng, the descendant of Mu Ying, the Duke of Qianguo of the Ming Dynasty, is the contemporary Duke of Qianguo. Mu Feng, who is only over 50 years old this year, is the chief of staff of the North African Theater of the Ming Army, and he holds a high position. During the turmoil in the imperial capital, he did not participate in the actions of the Saga Foundation against Zhang Cheng, so he was transferred from the position of the training department of the army headquarters to the post of chief of staff of the large theater after the war.
In the morning, when Zhang Cheng's adjutant suddenly informed him and asked him to accompany Zhang Cheng to the Second Armored Division to inspect the station, Mu Feng's heart became nervous. That's right, he was the one who tipped off the Allies and made it easy for the elite German troops who came in submarines to sneak into the war zone.
Mu Feng, who had been working in the Army Command for decades after graduating from Lu University, was very uncomfortable with the battlefield, and he himself did not have much guts. After all, he was a character from a wealthy family who was born with a golden key, and Mu Feng, who had a ghost in his heart after learning that Zhang Cheng asked him to accompany him, was terrified all the way.
Which person can face this kind of thing calmly? And it's the kind of calm face that puts yourself in? Maybe someone can really do it, but it definitely does not include a person like Mu Feng who has been pampered all his life.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the ambush site predetermined by the Germans, Mu Feng trembled nervously, kept grabbing his hair with his hands, and even his lips began to turn blue.
And when the convoy suddenly stopped, and Xiao Hongbao, who was supposed to be in the imperial capital, appeared in front of him, knocking on the window to let him get out of the car, the fear in Mu Feng's heart reached its peak.
He even jumped out of the car and fled, but where could he escape to in the vast Gobi on the coast? In addition to his adjutant and driver, the convoy was full of Zhang Cheng's henchmen and guards. Mu Feng estimated that his chubby figure would be beaten into a sieve if he couldn't run ten meters.
opened the car door with difficulty, Mu Feng, whose legs were trembling and was almost unstable, came to Zhang Cheng's car with the support of the expressionless Xiao Hongbao. When Zhang Cheng's eyes with an indifferent gaze swept over, Mu Feng, who was sweating profusely as if he had been watered, trembled his lips and wanted to say something, but he couldn't speak.
'Gotta ~~~' Looking at Mu Feng whose teeth were constantly trembling, Zhang Cheng grinned at the corners of his mouth, but that smile was similar to the devil's smile in Mu Feng's eyes.
When the imperial capital was in turmoil, Zhang Cheng killed many people, and many more people were sent by him to the bitter cold land of the far north and never wanted to come back for the rest of their lives. Moreover, Zhang Cheng also issued an order during the war against Japan that he could deal with Japanese prisoners of war and civilians at will. In front of a person like Zhang Cheng, how could Mu Feng, who had never encountered much wind and waves in his life, not be scared and was about to pee.
"You," Zhang Cheng's words were interrupted by Mu Feng as soon as he spoke, "Your Excellency the Supreme Commander!" I confess! I ask for leniency! I ask for pardon! ”
Mu Feng, who couldn't stand the pressure anymore, already cried in his voice. (To be continued.) )
