Not long after, Lucas, who was a little fat, appeared at the door of the hall wearing a brand-new German uniform, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The eyes of the crowd were hot, cold, disdainful, and fearful, but no one dared to show their true attitude in front of Lucas, and it was obvious that Lucas had a great deterrent power. Zhang Yang and Perez watched carefully, and after Lucas appeared at the venue, a small group of German soldiers stood guard at the door, not letting down their guard because of Lucas.

And by Lucas's side, Colonel Schleier, who was watched by Zhang Yang and Perez all the way in the night two days ago, is honestly following Lucas at the moment, playing the role of a butler.

"It seems that this Schleier is very ambitious, he can actually put down his figure, you see, that person is a subordinate of the Paris Police Department, and his position is much lower than Schleier, Schleier is so kind and pleasant, I will definitely not believe it if there is no other purpose."

Perez kept an eye on Colonel Schleier's actions and saw him shake hands with a French policeman, who was flattered and immediately recognized the other man's identity and explained a few words to Zhang Yang.

"A man without ambition will be able to climb to the colonel? What's more, if you follow someone like Lucas, if you don't have scheming, you will be squeezed out a long time ago. Don't forget who Lucas is. ”

Zhang Yang didn't pay much attention to the other party, and Colonel Schleyer's actions were a little too obvious, unless Lucas was blind. And since Lucas turned a blind eye, it is likely that Colonel Schleier, who is Lucas's confidant, was secretly instructed by Lucas. This is made for the bright side.

Perez quickly reacted, maybe Schleier and Lucas were preparing to put on a show, as for who to show it. You can guess with your toes, naturally these nobles present, as well as other spectators, make them mistakenly think that Lucas and Schleier have each other, maybe their original support object will change, and Lucas will take the initiative in the matter and blackmail each other afterwards. can make the other party obediently spit out the money.

Don't admit it? Well, there are still many places in the prisons of the German intelligence services in Paris, and one has already been reserved for you. You can go in and rest for a few days!

There were still a lot of smart people present, maybe they saw Lucas's plan and covered up the past without a trace, and of course there were some fools who really thought that Schleier had a different heart. That flattering expression made Zhang Yang feel a little sick to his stomach.

"Old fox."

Zhang Yang scolded secretly. At this time, Lucas had already said hello to most of the people in the hall, and Zhang Yang and Perez also got up from the sofa in order to prevent themselves from standing out, but they were always far away from Lucas, and they had no intention of making contact at all.

At this time, a German sergeant walked in and whispered something in Lucas's ear, Lucas nodded and did not speak, but the expression on his face was still happy. Raise your glass to the audience and say:

"Ladies and gentlemen. Everyone is welcome to come here for my birthday party, and we will prepare a lot of food and drinks for you later, so you are welcome, and I hope you don't refuse if you need to ask for anything in the future. ”

Lucas's words were very official, but the last sentence still pointed out his purpose, and everyone present scolded secretly. The people present all took out a generous gift, and the food and wine that Lucas used to entertain were not as expensive as the total value of the gifts received, not to mention that after giving the gift, Lucas had to bite back?

However, everyone dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and said with a smile on their faces one by one: "That's natural, of course there is no problem." ”

Lucas confessed, and then hurried out of the hall, as if something had happened at the moment, and then a group of servants pushed out the food for the guests, and began to set up a long table in the hall, and all kinds of food, red wine, and champagne were laid out.

Perez glanced at the people who began to taste the food, still muttered a little in his heart, and whispered next to Zhang Yang: "Hey, Zhang Yang, are you sure there is no problem with those gifts?" Won't be discovered? ”

"Don't worry, those gold coins themselves are real, and there is no problem with the material, but I don't know if it's not from the time of Julius Caesar." Zhang Yang treacherously like a little fox: "Those jade bracelets are ordinary materials, it doesn't cost much, anyway, not many people understand it now, as long as it's not a fake, it has nothing to do with us." ”

The "ancient Roman gold coins" given to Lucas were actually bought by Zhang Yang from an Englishman for twenty francs, and the lover looked at it, although it looked like the ancient Roman period, but in fact it was just a batch of imitation gold coins, which seemed to have been imitated by a nobleman on the whim of the First World War, and later lost in the war. Maybe it's a special method to make it old, and the mold is also very delicate when casting, and people who don't know really can't see anything at a glance.

In terms of the overall value alone, it is about two hundred francs, of course, this is the price of normal transactions, after all, although it is not an antique, but it is also a batch of well-made textiles, and it is also made of gold, but now there are many wars, and it is a problem for each family to eat, and the Englishman is peddling around with gold coins, and has not been able to sell it at the price he likes.

Sold to the bank, the bank only gave a price of 10 francs, apparently the miserly vampires also saw the value of the gold coin, and then pushed down the price fiercely, and finally, in desperation, the Englishman met Zhang Yang and sold the few gold coins for twenty francs.

This little money is really not valuable, so even if it is given to Lucas Zhang Yang, he is not too distressed, who makes him not bad money now. The legacy left by Uncle Ma made Zhang Yang an upstart overnight, eating wontons with one bowl and one bowl of pouring.

As for the pair of jade bracelets, this is not collected, but thrown in the warehouse left by Uncle Ma, everyone knows that Southeast Asia and Myanmar produce jadeite, Uncle Ma also has a few properties in Southeast Asia, and asked someone to get a few good jade jewelry for Aunt Ma. And there was also a pair of bracelets made of ordinary materials, which was considered a tie-in, and it was given away for free.

In the eyes of Uncle Ma and his wife, they naturally didn't look down on this pair of free gifts, and they were embarrassed to give it away, so they simply threw it into the warehouse, until it was turned out when Zhang Yang cleaned it up, and after expert identification, this bracelet was about a few dozen dollars, not more than a hundred dollars in total value.

However, judging from the appearance, it is still quite bluffing, and Zhang Yang does not know whether Lucas has the leisure to identify the authenticity of the gifts one by one, so he used these gold coins and bracelets as a meeting gift. It's just that Perez is a little worried.

"Take it easy, you see how you look like an officer now, it's a big deal to be discovered, and when the time comes, I will suddenly sweep a shuttle, I see who dares to come and find fault."

Zhang Yang's words were domineering, and Perez rolled his eyes and stopped worrying about this problem, and then got up with Zhang Yang to find some food, and then looked at the watch in his hand and counted down silently.

"It's 12:23 p.m." Zhang Yang glanced at his watch and looked at Perez, tacitly acknowledging each other.

Probably because he felt that it was likely to be taken advantage of at night and not safe enough, Lucas did not set the banquet in the evening according to the traditional rules, but placed it at 12:30 noon, when the hours before and after the entrance to the end of the venue were in the daytime, which was not good for the intruders.

Zhang Yang and Perez found out about this, so they had already made an appointment with the rest of the third group and set the time for the attack at noon.

After arriving in Paris, Zhang Yang and others had already surveyed the terrain and architecture around Lucas's manor, which was originally owned by a French nobleman, and later escaped with his family after the Germans came, and Lucas unceremoniously occupied the mansion.

Around the mansion, there are several old-fashioned stone house buildings, about three stories high, from this angle, most of the Lucas manor can be seen, but the weakness is that it is too close to the manor, once something happens, the Germans can surround this place in the shortest possible time, and the surrounding roads are blocked, and the chance of escape is too small.

Zhang Yang naturally had no intention of letting his subordinates be dead soldiers, and with the help of the Allied underground intelligence, they found the builder of this building, and learned from the other party that there was a passage under the building leading to a mill a few kilometers away. After finding out the situation of the passage with others, he went back and forth several times to confirm that there was no problem, and Zhang Yang approved the assassination plan.

Zhang Yang and Lucas infiltrated the manor posing as guests, while the others were scattered around, each looking for a vantage point, and a specially modified sniper rifle from Howard Stark was enough to bring Lucas Manor into the range of shooting.

Three minutes to go!

As the official start time of the banquet approached, Lucas finally appeared in front of everyone again, apparently after temporarily dealing with what happened before, he quickly returned to the banquet scene, as the important day of his 44th birthday, Lucas naturally would not miss it.

The priest from Notre-Dame Cathedral served as the master of ceremonies for the birthday banquet and enthusiastically read out the speech that had been prepared long ago.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let us welcome the great General Lucas with the warmest applause to the ......"

The priest read it carefully, for fear that he would eat a bullet if he mispronounced it, so his forehead was slightly sweaty, while Lucas walked along the red carpet surrounded by a group of guards, smiling.

Under the gaze of everyone, the German Major General Lucas, known as the butcher, was raising one arm and preparing to perform the German Nazi salute, when a gunshot rang out in the corner of a building, and then the head of the Major General Lucas burst directly like a watermelon, and the people standing next to him were almost drenched.
