The Rise of the European Emperor

A few days later, the spies of the North Sea State stationed in Paris completed the acquisition of the tavern. This is a tavern that specializes in cheap beer and wine. After all, the consumption targets of taverns are the big soldiers in the barracks, and they can't afford good wine.

After Kohler's spies bought the tavern, they simply renovated the tavern. Then, bide your time...

During the renovation process, the tavern did not stop selling wine, but opened a small counter outside the door to continue selling loose wine. As for the price, there is no change. After all, it's not time to open yet.

At the same time, a 20-member special forces team led by Nicolas Cage was also on the way to Paris, and was responsible for the assassination.

The team of assassins led by Cage is very special because, except for Cage, everyone else is an authentic Englishman...

These English special forces were recruited and trained by Marin three years ago. Their mission was to assassinate Margaret of Tudor who fled to Paris.

Their origins are very special, they are all survivors who were once persecuted by the Tudor dynasty. Their families were all killed by Tudor kings or nobles, and they were the only ones left alive. So these people hate the Tudors more than anyone else.

Among the 20 people, there are actually a few whose physical fitness does not meet the requirements of special forces. However, because they had the highest hatred for the Tudor royal family, they made an exception and were approved by Marin to join.

In addition, Marin also sent a batch of hydrochloric acid and nitric acid to Paris. This is to prepare aqua regia on the spot and use it to corrode the sewer outlet under a city wall not far from the military camp.

Once the operation begins, a small team will start wearing gas masks and corroding the iron gate of the sewer. Then, after the assassination is completed, send the special forces who have completed the mission to evacuate. Then, send them to the speedboat on the Seine to escape...

In addition, Marin also asked the Beihai National Military Factory to manufacture a batch of iron-cased grenades and smoke bombs that were detonated with detonators to help assassinate.

In fact, hand grenades in this era were pretty poor. Because the power of black powder is small, the power of this kind of grenade is similar to that of the earthen grenade made by small workshops in Balu during the Anti-Japanese War. If the craftsmanship is poor, the iron shell can only be blown into two pieces, which will scare people at most, and it will not cause much damage at all.

Even if Marin asks the craftsmen of Beihai State to study hard and produce a bullet case that is not easy to crack, it can explode and hurt several people. At the same time, it scares people.

But that's enough! Because, Marin used the grenade this time, not to kill the enemy, but to scare the enemy!

The assassination must have been in the middle of the night,

Once it happens, it will definitely alarm the Paris City Defense Force. But no matter how important Margaret of Tudor is, it is not as important as François I himself.

At this time, as long as someone detonates a batch of earth grenades near the Paris Royal Palace, the sound will definitely startle the Paris City Defense Force. In the middle of the night, they must have suspected that someone had attacked the palace. At this time, protecting the king must be the priority, who cares about an exiled foreign nobleman?

In other words, the purpose of this low-power black powder grenade is to make a big noise, and then attract the Paris city defense forces to the palace. Taking advantage of this opportunity, people from the assassination team can also escape...

As for the smoke bomb, this is a bit powerful...

In addition to the main white phosphorus (extracted from human urine in the simplest way, Marin arranged for an alchemist to extract it), Marin also added chili powder to it...

In this way, when the smoke bomb burns, it will also ignite the chili powder, releasing a stimulating gas that can make people cry...

Such a smoke bomb is actually a composite of a smoke bomb and a tear gas bomb. Used to block chasing soldiers, the effect is absolutely first-class.

...

However, on the day Cage and his team arrived in Paris, Memphis, the spy chief of the North Sea State in Paris, suddenly discovered an important situation—about a hundred English assassins sneaked into Paris and lurked near the barracks. It seems that England has also sent assassins over. Moreover, they sent hundreds of people...

Memphis hurriedly sent a letter to report the situation. After thinking about it, Marin quickly ordered Memphis to contact the assassins in England, so that they would not help the good deeds.

The assassins in England did not have the detailed plans of the North Sea Kingdom, let alone so much preparation. If they forcibly launch an assassination, they may not necessarily be able to kill Margaret. Moreover, if the assassination fails, the French will definitely increase their vigilance. At that time, there will be no chance at all...

Therefore, in order not to let the English do bad things, Memphis can only send someone to contact the English assassins...

Johnson, the leader of the Assassins sent by England, was taken aback by the news of their discovery. But after learning that the person who came was an ally, he breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was dubious in his heart, he knew that if he was an enemy, as long as he notified the Paris City Defense Army, they would be dead. Therefore, he decided to trust Memphis and the others.

Memphis did not expose the background of the North Sea country, but claimed to be the descendant of the enemy of the Tudor family. Although Johnson didn't believe it, as long as he could kill the target, he didn't care.

In fact, the team brought by Johnson was a death squad, and they didn't plan to go back alive. But they were naturally happy when they heard that the people from the Beihai Kingdom could open the iron gate of the sewer and lead them to evacuate safely. After all, no one wants to die in vain.

In addition, I was even more happy to hear that Memphis and the others could guarantee to drink most of the defenders down on the night of the assassination. However, Johnson's opinion is more ruthless:

"Why use hypnotic drugs? Wouldn't it be better to just inject chronic poison? Anyway, it's the French who died..."

Memphis was taken aback for a moment, but soon realized that it made sense. So, this opinion was fed back to Marin.

Marin was also stunned-yes, why can't I bear to kill those French soldiers? Or is it too heavily influenced by the humanistic thoughts of later generations...

He remembered - the French are enemies, so don't be so merciful...

Before, he was still worried. Even with the addition of sleep aids, if there were shouts of killing in the middle of the night, these people would easily wake up. No matter how bad it is, they will be pushed to wake up by their companions.

However, according to what the British guy said, he would be more ruthless and inject a slow poison that was delayed for several hours, directly poisoning those French city guards. At that time, no matter how loud the commotion is, the assassins will not be afraid of being besieged...

...

Therefore, Marin adjusted the plan again and changed to direct poisoning. Moreover, this kind of chronic poison that delays the outbreak for several hours is easier to find, and it is found quickly. Even the imperial doctor from the Ming Dynasty didn't use it. Because, a native European alchemist can make it...

In addition, Marin also made adjustments to the hands-on plan. Since the English sent hundreds of assassins, Cage's men didn't have to take risks. Marin intends to let Cage lead his men to carry out the harassment plan. It was to detonate a grenade near the Royal Palace in Paris, making a big noise and attracting the attention of the City Guards. Then, they will hide in the underground secret room of the pre-prepared house...

What? You said you were worried that they would be searched out by the French afterwards? In fact, with the cover of the sewer exit, the French would have thought the enemy had fled the city. With the English assassins diverting the attention of the French, Cage and the others will be much safer.

Moreover, the spies of the Beihai Kingdom have not been operating in Paris for nothing these years, hiding dozens of people is not a problem at all...
