Time passed minute by minute, and Lu Ming, who was squatting in the corner, seemed to have fallen asleep, without any sound.
Merkel sighed inwardly, thinking that her good friend was really generous.
Outside, the sky was gradually getting dark.
The music on the radio also changed to a relaxing "Serenade".
The red telephone on the table suddenly rang rapidly.
Looking at the time, Rommel was slightly startled. Then he picked up the phone and listened to the person talking on the other end. His expression changed immediately.
He suddenly stood up and walked out, and several guards hurriedly followed him.
The directors who remained in the meeting room looked at each other in confusion, totally confused as to what was going on.
Merkel looked at Lu Ming who stood up and walked to his side, "I'll ask General Dönitz if we can disperse." He said to Lu Ming, "Bit, you don't look well, go to the hospital for a check-up!"
Lu Ming nodded slightly, understanding that Merkel should have guessed that something went wrong with the Reston plan, and it was a big problem, so he had to keep a low profile, or even pretend to be sick and go to the hospital, so as to avoid being taken out on.
After Merkel asked for instructions, Dönitz adjourned the meeting.
The directors left, talking among themselves.
Not long after Lu Ming returned to 508, he received a call from Deniz, saying that the car had arrived downstairs.
There was a row of military vehicles, and in the black sedan in the middle, besides the driver, there were only Dönitz and the office director Ewing.
"Do you know where Bai Ta Village is? Is there any report from the railway police station over there?" asked Denitz.
Lu Ming shook his head.
At this time, the convoy had slowly started.
"The Reston train had an accident at the Baita Village section!" Denitz snorted coldly, "What do you mean by seeing the future? You are kidding!"
Ewing, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, handed over two gas masks.
"Go on, this is a protective shield. Okay, wear it like this." Denitz taught Lu Ming.
In fact, it was very similar to the previous life, and Lu Ming knew what it was as soon as he saw it.
"The Reston Project is a biological weapon developed by the Kingdom Laboratory. It has two types of poison gas, which are carried by poison gas shells, mortar shells, etc. There are also canned ones for battlefield use, but that has very high requirements for wind direction. No matter which method is used, as long as it is operated properly, it can destroy the enemy on a large scale." Denitz said with a sigh, "In addition to various poison gas bombs and gas canisters, the Reston train also transports our newly built biological and chemical troops, a full biological and chemical brigade. I don't know what the losses are now, but they should be very serious."
Seeing Lu Ming fiddling with the gas mask in his hand, Denitz said, "We'll put it on when we get to the end of the field."
Lu Ming nodded silently.
…
The bright moonlight shines on the earth and the weather is very good today.
At about 40 to 50 kilometers from the accident site, everyone in the car put on their gas masks. At 20 to 30 kilometers, Dönitz would stop the car.
There were people from the Western Regions walking along the railway line, including men, women, young and old.
"The 232 Railway Police Station should be in front. Shall we go there to ask about the situation?" Lu Ming said.
Dönitz nodded: "Then let's drive a little further."
232 Railway Police Station is located next to the railway line in a small courtyard. There were originally more than a dozen railway police, but now they all seem to have run away.
There were a few skinny old men from the Western Regions inside. They probably couldn't walk anymore, and their families had no choice but to leave them here.
The translator who got off the military vehicle went to ask.
They were from Bai Ta Village and said that a few minutes before the explosion, strangers with Central Asian faces told them to flee and shot them away.
However, some of them went back to watch the excitement after the violent explosion. It is said that they saw particularly horrific scenes and the terrible yellow-green gas.
The villagers then fled frantically.
Of course, these old people did not see those scenes, they only heard about them.
Lu Ming was here a few hours ago and saw the train crash into the mountain stream, so the impact of these poisonous gases on the local area should be minimal.
Of course, if there is no mountain stream, the bombing must still be carried out.
While the old people were telling the story with fear on their faces and trembling, Lu Ming went to get the phone, but there was no sound. Naturally, the phone line had been destroyed long ago, and the 233 Railway Police Station near Baita Village could not be contacted.
Of course, Lu Ming was just pretending. The 233 Railway Police Station was raided by Black Sparrow at the first opportunity. Several people were shot dead and the others were taken prisoner.
"Can't contact the police station in Baita Village?" asked Denitz. He didn't know the specific numbers of the railway police stations in these places.
Lu Ming nodded slightly.
Dönitz thought for a while and said, "Let's wait here for the biochemical experts to arrive." He then ordered Ewing to send the accompanying military police to set up guard posts and cordon off anyone from approaching.
Lu Ming nodded slightly. In fact, it would take at least a day for the biochemical experts to arrive. All the biochemical experts on the train had died, so they had to wait for Sonya to send experts from the capital.
However, Dönitz was not quite sure what had happened on the train, nor did he have enough knowledge about biological and chemical weapons. He was only deeply terrified and was unwilling to enter the dangerous area.
The next afternoon, the investigation team and biochemical experts from Sonia arrived at Police Station 232.
Lu Ming did not participate in the conversation between them and Denitz, and kept a distance from them. However, the telephone line between the 232 Police Station and South Fornia was reconnected, and he issued several orders to the Police Guard Corps, requiring the public security police in each town to be vigilant, arrest those who spread rumors, and maintain market stability.
After hanging up the phone, he saw Denitz standing beside him, nodding to him with satisfaction.
Lu Ming smiled, found a chair in the corner and sat down. He looked very tired and soon fell into a doze.
At this time, in the magnificent office of Shengjing Tianshan Palace, Lu Ming was looking at the special edition of Shengjing Times.
It was a report on the White Tower gas attack in the Western Regions, with photos showing many Sonya soldiers struggling in agony.
Although they were a biological and chemical unit, their protective equipment were concentrated in a freight car. The incident happened suddenly and the entire biological and chemical brigade was almost wiped out.
Various scenes were also photographed by the Montenegrin troops' military journalists.
This morning, the morning papers in Donghai, Imperial Capital, and other places were almost all filled with this horrifying news.
An analysis and description of the Sonia Kingdom's development of biological weapons, how cruel they are to the human body, the long-term impact on the environment, the cruel and far-reaching consequences that such gas weapons will cause, etc.
The Shengjing Times realized this later and added a special issue in the afternoon.
"Send a telegram to the Eastern Alliance Secretariat and request an emergency summit meeting for consultations."
"Send a telegram to the Imperial Capital, suggesting that the Kingdom's Cabinet condemn the actions of the Sonyans in the strongest terms."
"Well, in the imperial capital, send another private telegram to William V, and discuss using this opportunity to exert the greatest pressure on the Kingdom of Sonya to force it to withdraw from the Western Regions. My personal opinion is that we should do this even at the cost of starting a war!"
Lu Ming issued a series of commands from this magnificent office, which quickly turned into radio waves and spread in all directions.
