Chapter 223: In Great Britain (13)

The title of "Europe's most dangerous man" had not yet spread, and Skoltsny had not succeeded in rescuing Mussolini and arresting Horthy in history, but he was still well deserved to be called the king of German special operations.

Although the leader of the "Sky Thunder Operation" is Ranke, but the real responsibility for doing the "wet work" is all Skorzny and his men, Ranke mainly plays the role of intelligence and confusion, and basically has no special combat capability, in addition, in the defense of the Norwegian heavy water plant operation, Skorzny led the commando team to fight wits and courage with the British and American agents, and after several months of fierce fighting, it also made great contributions to ensure that the water plant was not destroyed. Although the value of heavy water to superbombs has completely declined after Hoffman guided the superbomb project, it has not attracted the attention of Britain and the United States. Just when the United States believed that Germany's technological line was wrong and that it had the advantage or even a unique advantage in the development of atomic weapons, Germany's superbomb project was also in full swing.

In the past few months, Skorzny has led his men to defend the black cat, and he has also worked diligently, without making any mistakes, and has been well received. Now, Hoffman is a pun intended, because he also told Skoltsny about the idea of sabotaging the "Manhattan Project", and if this plan succeeds again, it is not an exaggeration to call him "the most dangerous man in the world", not to mention the most dangerous man in Europe.

The strategy of asking Black Cat to arrange a performance of the opera and watch it together was developed by Hoffman after careful consideration, and it was not a hot impulse, and in Hoffman's view, the benefits were threefold:

First, the explosions and terrorist attacks in the early hours of this morning were so violent that the whole of London should have known about them, and in addition, a large number of military police and gendarmes are now on the streets, and the flag guards are like facing a great enemy, which will further aggravate the doubts and panic of the people in London. I have a dream", by then Great Britain will become another Serbia, not to mention that the German garrison is only 150,000, even 1 million may not be able to suppress it, and the most advantageous means to dispel such rumors is to make a public appearance.

Second, Hoffman just talked about his admiration for British culture and historical tradition in his speech, and it is a natural behavior to appreciate Shakespeare's opera, which not only shows that the head of state really likes this cultural heritage, but also sits with the black cat and appreciates the friendship and mutual trust of the two heads of state.

Third, there is the need for demonstrations by terrorist groups and subtle pressure on the British government. After Himmler's and Bauman's investigations, Germany was fully aware of the organization of the "British Longbowmen", and understood that this was an underground method prepared by the British government for the worst eventuality, and even vaguely guessed that Big C played a role in contributing to it. Now Germany on the one hand expresses its full confidence that the British government will properly handle this matter and will do its best to arrest the terrorists, and on the other hand, it has said that it will make a public appearance at the opera house, and it will not dare to indulge if something happens again.

The prestige and ability of the British government to govern will be completely lost.

On this special occasion today, Hoffmann must appear in person, because Edward VIII himself will be present, he is very familiar with the Führer, and he has been in contact with each other for more than ten years, and it is clear whether the Führer is real or false. Do you want him to accompany the "fake Führer" to the play? This is not only an outright insult to a king, but also raises unnecessary suspicions, could it be that something is really wrong with the Führer?

So Hoffmann insisted on attending in person.

From now on, the British government has besieged the opera house, all corners are being carefully searched, all actors are being screened for background and political leanings to make sure that nothing is lost, and those who can be there to watch are also controlled, the officers and men of the flag guard and the commandos of Skollzny will fill a quarter of the theater in civilian clothes, Edward's personal guards will also fill the other fifth, and the rest of the places are the reliable personnel invited by the British side, On the periphery, there will be British and German security forces to be closely deployed. If an accident occurs in the morning, additional personnel will be deployed in the evening, and heavy weapons (such as anti-tank guns) will not be considered nervous, but the flag team will not place anti-tank guns at Buckingham Palace.

The theater box was also quickly renovated: the largest and most luxurious box will be reserved for the two heads of state, and the other surrounding boxes will be reserved for the high-level of the two countries, and the engineering team will clean up the dead corners on the one hand, and on the other hand, install bulletproof glass on the side, and at the same time, the emergency evacuation and escape routes will also be prepared as best possible, which may affect the viewing effect a little, but the political significance of today's public appearance is extraordinary, "stability overrides everything", and other artistry is a later story.

Black Cat and Attlee also understand that this opera at night is the key to saving face and rebuilding confidence, in any case, the British government cannot shirk the responsibility for the terrorist attack on a head of state living in Buckingham Palace, and it is inevitable to further strengthen the purge and improve the security level. Aiden said very clearly: "Since the 'longbowmen' do not give face to the government so much, they are a cancer of society, and they must be eradicated mercilessly!" Otherwise, in the future the government will certainly not be reduced to a puppet of the Germans, but may become a puppet of Canada or the Americans! ”

Big C himself has nothing to say, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, MI5 and MI6 are working at full speed, and they arrested nearly 100 people in one morning, some of them are members of the longbowmen with conclusive evidence and records, some are fellow party members, some are suspicious hidden elements, and some are actually just reporters and public intellectuals who have always spared no effort to criticize the government, Black Cat, Attlee and others are annoyed when they see them, why not use such a good excuse? It's a big deal to leave a file of "insufficient evidence, release first, and internal control" at that time, so that these "mouth cannon politicians" who are inward-looking can eat in prison for a few days and feel that a life behind bars is more effective than any persuasion, and there will be no other adverse consequences.

Just as the two sides are in full swing to prepare the conditions for the evening "opera appreciation", an escape is also unfolding against time

James Bond dragged his scarred body, under the cover of others, to a secret stronghold of usual activities, as soon as he arrived at the destination, he had lost too much blood and fell to the ground, unconscious, the entire raid operation even he dispatched a total of 23 people, 1 person served as a peripheral guard, 2 people were responsible for answering, and the remaining 20 people launched a surprise attack, and agreed that Bond was responsible for the final slaughter of the demon king.

I thought that this was a fairly successful and grasped raid, but I did not expect that the frightened guard flag team did not mess up, and the firepower of the on-the-spot counterattack was very fierce, and in the case of being caught off guard by the British commandos knocking out 2 armored vehicles, this group of elites who retreated from the Eastern Front did not panic, but used all available weapons to launch a counterattack.

The main reason why the overall casualties of the Guard Flag Team were greater than those of the Commandos was that in the end, the British used Dodge trucks to launch suicide rammings and explosions, which caused at least half of the German casualties.

In the opponent's dense return fire, Bond couldn't rush into the house at all, let alone "lore", there were more than 20 meters away from the closest, and then it was suppressed by a string of bullets, some of which were shot by Laura, although the lethality of FG44 is not strong, but it is very useful to close the hand-to-hand combat, Laura while covering the retreat of the second Führer, while suppressing all the commandos who dared to rush over, the style is very fierce, even the Waffen-SS who has always been brave was stunned. Seeing that nothing could be done, Bond had no choice but to retreat. Only 3 people ran out including him, and 5 people were added to pick up 2 people, and the remaining 17 commandos were all killed, and 1 person on the perimeter was killed by the British guards who rushed to hear the news.

On the way to escape, although the Germans did not pursue and kill due to the lack of people and land, and the British police were afraid of causing other conflicts, and the search and arrest response was slow, but even so, the remaining 2 commandos still died one after another due to their injuries, and one of the response team members died in order to lead the pursuit, and the only commando team involved in the operation was Bond, a scarred survivor and the last responder.

It is still unknown whether these two people will survive, the military, police, and gendarmes have just begun a large-scale manhunt, and the streets of London are under full martial law and an atmosphere of solemnity, and the difficult days are still to come.

As the afternoon approached evening, Wright Phillips went to Terry's grocery store again.

"How dare you come? The Southgate brothers have just been arrested" Terry was surprised to see each other coming, "The safest thing you can do is to give up the operation immediately and go to Canada"

"No, the mission isn't complete yet, I want to know more news."

"You are still unwilling to die so many people?" Terry glared, "How many people are you going to die for ambition and unrealistic hopes?" ”

"Is it so easy to do things without victims?"
