In a dilapidated building near Han and Tang Street.
At this time, the soldiers of the Chinese Corps Guard Brigade and the First Corps Security Brigade deployed the entire building and closely protected the Foreign Minister of the First District Military and Political Council.
The foreign minister himself was standing in a room, changing into the uniform and bulletproof vest of an ordinary soldier with the help of several soldiers. Lu Zhen was standing next to him, holding a phone in his hand, communicating with someone non-stop.
"Damn it, are you sure you want to let a man in his sixties wear equipment weighing dozens of kilograms? Do you want to murder me?" The blond and blue-eyed foreign minister was sweating profusely, and was using anger to suppress his inner fear.
"Mr. Foreign Minister, we are not sure how many snipers are out there. If you are very resistant, you can go out in your general uniform. I don't mind."
“…Damn it!”
At this moment, Kong Zhenghui hurried to the entrance of the building.
"Sir, you can't go in there!"
The soldiers at the door stopped him, and one of the white soldiers reminded Kong Zhenghui in English in a firm tone.
Kong Zhenghui took out his ID and said anxiously, "I am Kong Zhenghui from the Security Council. I have already communicated with Secretary-General Lu. Please let me in."
"No, no one is allowed to enter this building now." The white soldier said, and pushed the safety on the automatic rifle with his finger: "Please return to your position immediately."
“Crash!”
The other soldiers around also raised their guns and pulled the bolts.
Kong Zhenghui frowned and could only stand outside the door, shouting at the top of his voice: "Secretary-General Lu, Secretary-General Lu! It's me, Kong Zhenghui!!"
The shout resounded throughout the first floor of the building. After hearing it, Lu Zhen in the room hung up the phone, waved to the person next to him and said, "Let him in."
"Let them go." The officer next to him picked up the communicator and gave an order to the outside.
At the door, the soldier lowered his gun and turned to make way. Kong Zhenghui walked in in a somewhat embarrassed manner, escorted by two guards.
He walked to the front of the house and instinctively glanced inside, and saw the Foreign Minister standing inside, changing his clothes. At the same time, there were some officers nearby, holding communicators and constantly contacting the headquarters of the First Corps.
Lu Zhen stepped out, glanced at Kong Zhenghui, closed the door, frowned and asked, "Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Kong Zhenghui paused for a moment and said very confidently: "Secretary Lu, I know who planned this assassination."
Hearing this, Lu Zhen was slightly startled, and then asked: "Who is it? How did you know?"
"It's like this..."
Kong Zhenghui confidently told Lu Zhen his guess. After listening to him, Lu Zhen frowned and had a complicated expression.
Seeing his expression, Kong Zhenghui immediately said, "Think about it. Commander-in-Chief Wang was killed as soon as the gunshots rang out. Immediately afterwards, the whole Longcheng artillery sounded. Obviously, they planned this in advance. Their purpose was to destroy the internal unity of the Chinese Corps and cause a series of chain reactions. Secretary-General Lu, now that there is such chaos outside and there are exchanges of fire all around, there must be someone inside us trying to fish in troubled waters and attack the Foreign Minister. We don't know who the devil is. It would be very dangerous to evacuate normally now. You can't let two armies protect the Foreign Minister, right?"
Lu Zhen lowered his head and thought for a long time, and felt that what Kong Zhenghui said made sense. It was precisely because the current situation was very chaotic that the foreign minister changed clothes in the house and wanted to blend into the troops and evacuate quietly.
Thinking of this, he raised his head and asked the other party: "What do you think?"
"We can do this..." Kong Zhenghui immediately lowered his voice and said something in his ear.
After hearing this method, Lu Zhen did not answer immediately, and there was still some hesitation in his eyes.
Kong Zhenghui looked at him and said hurriedly, "Secretary Lu, believe me, this is the only way to find out how many people are mixed in the army. Even if we can't find out, we won't lose anything, and it can also increase the safety of the Foreign Minister's departure."
Lu Zhen thought about it for a while, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, let's do as you say."
Then, he waved to the commander of the nearby security brigade, and when he came over, he said to him, "The situation is like this..."
The two sides communicated in a low voice.
…
At the same time, the edge area of Han and Tang Street.
In a spacious courtyard, more than eighty soldiers in special combat uniforms were squatting here, holding weapons.
Yuan Biao was like an ant on a hot pot, restless. After he met up with Yu Mingyuan, he originally wanted to sneak into the escort team as planned and complete the task of capturing the foreign minister alive.
But he didn't expect that the guard brigade's reaction would be so quick. Now the entire Han Tang Street is under martial law. They have control over the inside, and the troops outside have no way to get close at all.
Not only Yuan Biao, Yu Mingyuan was also very anxious at this time. He was wearing headphones, listening to Dai Quan's report on Yao Doudou's situation, and at the same time he was worried about whether the task of arresting the foreign minister could be successfully completed.
After waiting for a while, Yu Mingyuan couldn't help but turned to Yuan Biao and asked, "What's the situation over there?"
"Stop making noise for now." Yuan Biao sat on two stacked bricks, waved his left hand at him, held the communicator in his right hand, and listened to the voice on the public channel.
After five minutes, there was still total silence in the public frequency communication system, and no one was speaking anymore.
Seeing this, Qiu Ge, who was wearing the same special combat uniform, couldn't help but ask, "Why is there no activity on the public channel?"
Yuan Biao put down the communicator, thought for a moment and said, "They must have noticed that someone had sneaked into the team, so they locked all channels. I guess they have changed to a point-to-point communication method now... We should have been dragged to other sub-channels and cannot get in touch with other troops. We can only passively accept the information given to us by them."
Brother Qiu frowned and said, "They reacted much faster than we expected. If this is the case, this matter will be difficult to handle."
After the words fell, everyone fell silent, and everyone lowered their heads to think about countermeasures. At this moment, the communicator suddenly rang, and then a voice came out: "Special Operations Team 1, are you there? Please reply if you hear me!"
Yuan Biao was stunned when he heard the voice, because he recognized it as Lu Zhen's voice.
He thought for a moment and immediately replied, "Special Operations Team One received this. I'm Captain Yuan Biao. Please go ahead."
Lu Zhen immediately ordered: "You lead the troops to the intersection of Sanhe Street and Tiandi Street immediately, and clean up and guard the area within a one-kilometer radius."
Yuan Biao paused for a moment and asked, "Are there any cooperative units?"
Lu Zhen replied: "No, you are the only ones responsible for this area. Remember, don't let any unit get close to that area except you. Clean it up quickly and report back when you're done. You are very close to the target location, so I'll give you ten minutes."
Yuan Biao hurriedly said, "But the guards won't let us in."
"I've already communicated with them, and they'll let you pass. Go ahead, that's it!"
"yes!"
After saying that, the communication was hung up. Yuan Biao turned to Yu Mingyuan and the others and said, "There is a new mission. Let's go."
…
At the border between Lao Mo and Longcheng, the coalition's 300,000 troops had already begun to move, heading straight for Longcheng. However, the main force's marching direction was slightly different.
In the command vehicle, Su Tianyu held the communicator and shouted to Tan Mingchao, "Your mission is to get to the connection area between Longcheng City and the First Corps Base. Stay there at all costs and wait for the main force to arrive."
Tan Mingchao answered loudly: "Yes!"
