043.Prime Minister's Assassination Plan (6)
Cosmic Century U.C0078 December 30
Flynn and others assassinated Darcia two days before
Earth Tokyo
The man known as an agent keeps an eye on the situation on the moon, and although he sends a killer to von Brown through Ethan Lea, he also has other plans in mind, always ready to make up for possible crises.
On this day, he received a piece of information from the moon, and a transport operator with a contract with the Agricultural Association had found a batch of weapons entering the country from SIDE3, including various light weapons and some bombs.
Perhaps it was just a small oversight, but such a situation is not uncommon in history.
The transporter was undoubtedly the Zeon Army, and the target was Darcia Bajaro, Prime Minister of the Principality.
After careful consideration, the agent understood that the Zeon side wanted to do the same thing as himself.
After thinking about it for a moment, the agent contacted the assassination force who had already dived to the moon.
"It's me, the mission has changed," the agent said calmly, "we don't need to assassinate our own representatives." β
"Now there is a better option, and Zeon has also sent an assassination unit."
"Let them do what they want to do and wait until they're done."
"Catch them and let everyone know they exist."
When he hung up the phone, his heart was filled with the joy of being favored by luck, and it was not only riskless to catch the other side's assassination force than the negotiator who might be exposed and assassinate him, but also politically more convincing than the original plan.
When Zeon appears as a victim, it only takes the fact that Zeon has sent an assassination force to show it.
Not only will Zeon's credibility be dealt a terrible blow, but it will certainly have internal turmoil due to the government's assassination of its own people.
My luck was so good.

Shutana Hardy watched as his men secured a high-yield bomb on top of the ventilation ducts in the underground tunnels.
This is the subway tunnel under Von Brown's Central Avenue, and for some reason, the line was blocked, but with the help of Von Brown's supporters, Shutana found that not only was it not sealed, but it was also an excellent assassination location, just need to put a bomb here and press it when Darcia passed by.
Their work is over.
As for whether this plan is the same as that of another group of people, and whether there is a copyright issue, it can only be said that this is an unfortunate coincidence.
Shutana is a special operations unit that belongs to the former commando team of the Ministry of the Interior, and is now directly responsible to the commander of the Tactical Assault Force, Cecilia Zabi, not only him, but also all the members of his squad 'Cyclops', most of them are mercenaries, even now, although they are in the establishment of the Tactical Assault Army, but because they have been performing some shady tasks for a long time, they do not have a military status on the surface.
There are a total of four people in the Cyclops squad.
Captain Shutana Hardy, a 40-year-old veteran with a strong skill and tactics, said that the mission success rate was among the highest among all the special ops units under the command of Cecilia.
It is precisely because of his outstanding ability that he was entrusted with this mission that is enough to shock the world.
The vice-captain, Mikhail Kaminski, is the oldest in the team, but also the most experienced and powerful fighter.
Acting as the core of the troops, whether in combat or day-to-day management, this veteran's wealth of experience can surprise people.
Team member Cabriel Calcia, a rare Indian-African hybrid in SIDE3, although his skills and tactics are excellent, but because of his character flaws, he is somewhat uneasy.
Although there are some shortcomings, he is still an outstanding fighter on the whole.
and the last team member, Andy Stroth, a handsome blonde guy with a bold personality and especially popular with women, although his skills and tactics are not as outstanding as the above three, but he can help the team in various aspects, and is a very average lubricating warrior.
These four people form the 'Cyclops' squad of the special operations force, the best special ops squad under the command of Cesilia.
Cabriel handed various tools to Michael who planted the bomb, and complained about the Federation uniform on his body: "Head, why do we have to wear Federation dog skins?" β
He wasn't really complaining about anything, just distracting himself from his nervousness in this way, he wasn't a newcomer who had just joined the army, on the contrary, he had followed Shutana on many missions.
But none of the tasks of the past are as important as they are today.
Shutana sat on the stairs, he looked at the map again to confirm Darcia's route, and at the same time took out a cigarette and put it to his mouth, he did not light the cigarette, but simply held it, and when he heard Cabriel's words, he took the cigarette from his mouth and said, "Capri, why are you talking so much nonsense." β
"This is the request of His Excellency Cesilia, and we will just obey it honestly."
"Yesβ" Cabriel said with some frustration.
"There's no way we're wearing the Zeon uniforms," Michael, who raised his head into the ventilation duct above and tried to fix the bomb inside, said sullenly, "and think about what to do if we fail and get caught." β
"That's why they arranged a fake identity for us in the federal army, all so that they can pretend they don't know us when necessary."
"Tsk!" Cabriel was blatantly staggering.
"What do you mean! How could we fail! Cabriel boasted loudly: "There is a head, and there is me, how can it fail?" β
"Hey, Capri," Michael pulled his head back from the ventilation duct and tilted his head to look at Capriel, tilting his head and squinting, "Did you forget about me and Andy?" β
"No? It's perfect if this mission 'only' requires me and the head," Cabriel said casually, "Andy, in particular, is here to make up the numbers." β
"Bastard." Michael laughed and kicked Cabriel.
"Hey, it's dangerous!" Cabriel, who was on the ladder, couldn't dodge and was kicked in the shoulder, almost falling off the ladder.
He was in a cold sweat, his feet were a little weak, and he looked at it with fear, although he was only eight or nine meters away from him, and it was impossible to fall to death with the low gravity of the moon, but looking down from a high place made people feel palpitations, he scolded: "Are you going to kill me?" β
"This is a punishment for your unscrupulous words," Michael was not to be outdone, his voice slightly distorted through the ventilation duct, "If you fall to your death like this, our team doesn't want such a disgraceful guy." β
"You!"
"Enough of you, hurry up!" Shutana roared impatiently.
After yelling at the two of them, he turned on the radio and tried to contact Andy Stroth, who was in charge of the operation to reconnoiter the surrounding situation, and Andy was not with them on the tower with the best view nearby.
"Andy, where is Prime Minister Dalcia?" Shutana asked.
The three of them are underground, and they can't grasp the situation on the ground, which requires Andy to communicate with them, and Andy is responsible for when to evacuate and when to detonate the bomb.
βγγγγγ There was still some distance, ah, he stopped, waving to his supportersγγγγγ "Being underground, the radio signal is not very good, but it doesn't prevent each other from understanding what each other means.
"Michael, how long will it take you over there?" Shutana asked, turning to Michael Hell.
"Wait a little longer!" Michael's words could be heard: "This thing is too troublesome to install!" β
"Then you as soon as possible."
At this moment, Andy's surprised voice came from the other side of the radio: "Hey, head, there's a car coming over your side!" β
"What!?" Shutana frowned, "Are you sure you're coming from us?" β
"I don't know, but they're heading in your direction!"
Speaking of this, I have to mention the location of this hidden line, I said before that the backup maintenance channel of the hidden line is built in the sewer, and the entrance of this sewer is on the side of a secondary road, which is a building similar to the entrance of the subway, not the kind of sewer manhole cover that we usually think, the sewer on the moon is different from the traditional sewer on the earth, not the same structure as the underground water canal, but a huge pipeline to transport wastewater to the wastewater treatment plant, It will not directly expose the wastewater to the air, if the classical sewer is used, only one-sixth of the earth's lunar gravity will make the sewage float everywhere, so it can only be transported by pipes, and the so-called sewer entrance is just the relay node of these sewage pipes, the platform for maintenance workers, so it will be put together with the maintenance channel of the subway, so that the same platform can provide a maintenance platform for the wastewater pipeline and the subway at the same time, and the cost is reduced by half.
Of course, such an entrance cannot be placed next to the main street, which not only affects the aesthetics, but also may affect trust in case of failure, so this entrance is placed on the side of a secondary road, which is not a particularly crowded place in the first place, and now because of the entrance ceremony of the peace negotiations, people are concentrated on both sides of the central avenue, and there are almost no people here.
That's why it's so surprising when a car comes in this direction.
"What kind of person is it?" Shutana immediately stood up and jumped hard, stepping directly over more than ten steps.
"Wait a minute," Andy replied after a moment, "looking at the sign, it looks like a work car from the Colonial Satellite Commune!" β
Tsk, this is a bit troublesome, as mentioned before, the maintenance of lunar cities like von Brown is the responsibility of the colonial satellite commune, such a group of people suddenly came to this sewer site, probably to come down and do something, although there is also the possibility of just passing by, but Shutana does not dare to bet this.
We'll have to convince them to quit here.
"Cabriel, you and I!" Shutana immediately decided: "Michael, you keep working, load the bomb as soon as possible!" β
"Yes!" "Okay!" Both Cabriel and Michael knew that now was no time for jokes, so Cabriel placed his kit on the ladder at Michael's side and slid down quickly.
He picked up the Federalist M72 assault rifle and followed behind Shutana, and loaded the rifle very easily, which is a good habit for mercenaries who may face battle at any time, but Shutana still said, "Hey, Capri, we're not here to kill!" β
"Put your gun down."
"Huh?" Cabriel paused for a moment: "Head, don't we want to kill those people from the satellite commune?" β
"Don't come up and try to kill! Killing is a last resort, and we're not murderers! Shutana reprimanded.
"Although there should be no one in the vicinity, who knows, if we shoot and lure the real Federation Army over, I don't know how much trouble it will be!"
This is of course the most important reason, but there is another reason why Shutana is reluctant to shoot and kill, although they are mercenaries and do a lot of dirty work, but killing soldiers and police for the sake of the mission and harming innocent civilians are two different things, Shutana is not an unprincipled murderer, he will consciously restrain himself and his subordinates from similar behavior.
It would be nice if the other party was really an ordinary worker and was willing to follow the persuasion to leave.
"Ah, yes! I see, I won't shoot without instructions from the head! Cabriel also understood the seriousness of the matter and said seriously.
"Ah, it's good to know." Shutana said.
And made up his mind not to shoot until he had to.
I hope he gets his wish.
