Chapter 597: Le Cheng's Harvest (I)
Such vague information is still because Le Cheng's level is relatively high, and he works beside Prime Minister Widman, so he can get so many clues, if it is someone else, he can't even see the suspicions. Because all the yellow employees who work in the government recently, including him, have been deliberately blocked from the news, so that Lecheng has not received accurate information. In order to prove his conjecture, he decided to enter the palace at night and steal secrets from the emperor to see if the Boston Empire was ready for war.
After two days of reconnaissance, Le Cheng has completely grasped the recent alert situation around the palace, and after being sure enough, Le Cheng put on a dress outside his night coat and set off with his full set of equipment.
Taking advantage of the night, Le Cheng drove to a parking lot a kilometer away from the palace, and drove directly close to the palace The target was too big and easy to find, so he had to rely on it from here. Putting the dress off in the car, Le Cheng put on his night clothes, took all the equipment and set off.
The parking lot is very dimly lit, making it easy to hide yourself. After looking around and seeing that no one was paying attention, Le Cheng quickly ran towards the palace by taking advantage of the few shadows between the neatly arranged cars.
The palace is heavily guarded, especially at night, and no one is allowed to approach at all, but these do not stop Lecheng's footsteps.
Years of high society life did not make Le Cheng lose his agility, and with the help of the shadow of the high-rise buildings, Le Cheng soon approached the walls of the palace. It's as quiet as ever, and only those who know the inside story of the road know how many sentry are lurking here, and they will attack their prey as soon as they see it.
Le Cheng knew about the palace guards, and with his agility, he carefully avoided all the secret posts, passed through the gap between the two patrols, and slipped under the walls of the palace. The walls of the palace are only more than three meters high, and seeing that there is no one nearby, Le Cheng took out the three-claw anchor behind him, shook his arm hard, and threw the anchor onto the city.
Le Cheng tugged on the rope twice to make sure that the anchor claw was firmly embedded in the stone, then he closed his breath, with the help of the strength of the anchor rope and the amazing elasticity of the rope, his hands pulled down hard, and his feet in soft-soled shoes only kicked twice on the smooth wall, and his body turned over the city wall like a bottle.
Seeing that there was no one else nearby, Le Cheng carefully retracted the anchor cable, looked around the terrain, and found that an old locust tree in the palace city grew relatively tall, and some branches were close to the city wall, which was really a rare natural ladder. After repeatedly confirming that there was no dark whistle around the locust tree, Le Cheng ran in a few steps, and then jumped forward with his legs, his body crossed the space of several meters, and his legs hung lightly on a thick branch of the old locust tree, and the trees just made a slight rustling sound like the north wind blowing.
Le Cheng, who was hanging upside down on the tree, listened quietly for a while, and saw that no one around was alarmed, so he put his hands on the tree with force on his waist, and his body swung over a distance like a swing, and his hands picked up the trunk of the tree. Clinging to the trunk of the tree, Le Cheng's hands and feet loosened, and his body slid down the trunk silently, with the help of the shadows, he lowered his body and walked towards the interior of the palace as fast as he could.
The main defense force of the palace is concentrated on the periphery, and for the interior, there is not much security force except for the personal guard of the Boston Emperor Washington III. Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Le Cheng walked lightly towards the imperial study.
As the special assistant to the prime minister, Le Cheng is also a celebrity in the Boston Empire, he is no stranger to the terrain of the palace, he is familiar with the way in the palace A few turns, Le Cheng found his destination, the strange thing is that there are no guards in front of the door of the imperial study today.
Le Cheng walked lightly to the door of the imperial study and listened, there was no sound inside, he pushed the door open a gap, and shook it in. The layout in the imperial study is the same as usual, there is no change, and he, who had stolen an action plan a few years ago, naturally knows very well where the emperor's secret grid is.
Le Cheng walked straight to the table, stretched out his hand with black gloves, and was about to dial the password disk, when there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, and the sound came directly to the imperial study.
Le Cheng didn't panic, he glanced left and right, except for this big table and chair in the study, which was a bookcase against the wall, there was no place to hide nearby, he walked to the windowsill and found that the curtains were gorgeous, a total of three layers, which caused the curtain box to be very large, enough for him to hide.
Thinking of this, Le Cheng did not hesitate, he lifted his breath lightly, and lightly touched his toes on the ground, his body had jumped into the air, and his left thumb pressed on the wall to borrow force, and the whole person had been hung in the curtain box. The curtain box is fixed with thick steel bars, and there is absolutely no problem in hanging a person, Lecheng found a comfortable position for himself, and carefully concealed his figure with the folds of the curtains.
As soon as Le Cheng found a comfortable place to hide, the door of the imperial study was opened, and four people walked in. Le Cheng listened attentively and found that two of them walked neatly, obviously with formal training, this must be someone like bodyguards, and the only one who could take bodyguards in the palace so late was Washington III.
After a while, the men spoke, and an old male voice said, "Marshal Pershing, do you think this battle is very difficult to fight?" ”
Another equally old voice said: "Yes, Your Majesty, we all know very well the strength of the Chinese Empire, if we want to attack, we must defeat the other party in the shortest possible time, and if the Chinese Empire is given a chance to breathe, they will rely on their powerful industrial capacity to crush us to death." "Marshal Pershing has had many contacts with the Chinese Empire over the years, especially in the last World War, but he saw with his own eyes the strong combat effectiveness of the Chinese Imperial Army, which he has never forgotten.
The conversation between the two made Le Cheng understand the identity of the other party, this is the Boston Imperial Emperor Washington III and Boston Secretary of Defense and Commander of the Supreme Command Field Marshal Pershing, but at this time Le Cheng only dared to listen, but did not dare to make other moves, for fear that he would be discovered by the other party, so he could not see the target clearly.
Washington III sighed and continued: "But now that the Chinese Empire has begun to rearm for war, I am afraid that if we don't attack now, we will lose the opportunity." At present, at least our navy and army still occupy a numerical advantage, and judging from the fighters produced by the Chinese Empire purchased by the Allies, there is still a certain gap in performance compared with our naval fighters, and our army fighters are even more powerful than them. ”
Marshal Pershing said: "Your Majesty, you can't say that, think that the Chinese Empire has been leading the world in science and technology for 30 years, how can it suddenly fall behind now?" I think what they sold to the Allies was nothing more than the planes they had obsolete, and this is also very much in line with their habits, have you forgotten the last World War? The main battle weapons of the Chinese Empire have never been revealed, not to mention that according to the people who fled back from Russia, the planes of the Chinese Empire are quite strong, and there are no propellers at all, and the planes guarding the capital of the Yaman Empire are also well known, although the whereabouts of these planes are unknown, so we cannot study them, but according to my estimates, this should be comparable to our jets, so Your Majesty must not take it lightly. ”
Washington III said angrily: "It's also to blame Prime Minister Wiedman for falling for someone else's strategy and stealing those useless weapon ideas, which cost the country a lot of money and delayed time, but in the end, it was found that there was no possibility of completing it at all, and the other party did not come up with relevant products, obviously we were deceived." ”
Marshal Pershing was also aware of this matter, and he defended his old friend with some embarrassment: "Maybe it's not the prime minister's fault, these designs were all unfinished and latest designs when they were stolen by our spy officers, and the research was not completed after the most difficult time, maybe they also thought it was not feasible in the test and gave up." ”
Listening to the words of the two, Le Cheng remembered the time when Fang Xiaoyu was Prime Minister Weideman, and he couldn't help but want to laugh, but he didn't dare to make a sound, so as not to alarm the few people nearby. Le Chengzhi forced a smile and continued to listen to their conversation.
Washington III sighed and said: "According to General Dewey's analysis, the advantage of our navy is still very large, if the imperial navy can launch a surprise attack, quickly occupy the island group in the eastern ocean, and then threaten the interior of the other party's eastern continent, and quickly occupy its industrially developed areas, I believe that the war will end soon." ”
Marshal Pershing said: "Why did Your Majesty forget that there is still China Island?" Although they rarely show their military strength, I think that no matter how many troops defend Zhonghua Island, their equipment is definitely more advanced than that of the regular army of the Chinese Empire. ”
Washington III said: "But I heard from the merchants who came back from the outer islands trading area of the island of China that the other side has a lot fewer patrol ships and patrol planes near the coast, and maybe there is something wrong with them." ”
Marshal Pershing muttered: "This information needs to be further verified, not to mention that our operational plan has already been determined?" If you want to surprise the Chinese Empire from the sea, you must first gather the land forces of all the allies, press the opponent from the direction of the Central Continent, and attract the main force of the Chinese Imperial Army in order to succeed. ”
Washington III nodded and said: "That's fine, wait for me to have a meeting with the heads of the various allies, let's take a look at the latest revised plan of the General Staff with me." ”
Marshal Pershing also knew that this kind of decision was a matter of national policy, and he needed to be cautious, and it was impossible to think that his own words would be decided, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, Your Majesty, let's study it first and then decide, I'll open the safe." ”
