Chapter 446 Paris Night
Paris, France.
In a deep alley, two people were dragging corpses. Upon closer inspection, there were seven bodies.
The two men searched the corpses for everything they could use, including clothes and boots, expressionlessly. One of them was injured, but he was still on guard against the other. The scene was indescribably weird.
In fact, both of them were prisoners serving sentences in Siberia, Russia, living in the cold hell in the dark.
But suddenly one day someone came to them and said that a great man needed them to do something. As long as they succeeded, they would be pardoned. Even if they died, their families would be pardoned and leave this bitter cold land.
Just like a drowning person will hold on to a straw, desperate people like them will naturally not let go of a ray of hope.
Soon they were hooded and loaded onto a carriage. They bumped all the way. When the hood was removed. Each of them found themselves taken to a room with five people and a whole table of food, but only one chair and a set of tableware.
In fact, the people in the room understood everything without the people outside saying anything more.
The bloodiness, violence, and desire for survival of human beings were fully revealed at that moment. Rogerm Kaslev personally killed three people, including a tall but thin child, but he survived.
Suddenly, he heard an urgent bell outside, and Rogerm Kaslev thought it was time for him to go out and meet the big man.
Rogerm Kaslev didn't like the way of this big man, but he had to live to the end and let his family return to the warm southern Russian grassland.
But when Rogerm Kaslev opened the door of the wooden house, he was dumbfounded because there were many similar wooden houses around, and those doors were slowly opening.
After that night, only twenty of the five hundred prisoners survived. After that, they were sent to the Special Third Department for emergency training. In the end, only ten people came to Paris, and the others were "eliminated".
Their mission was very simple, which was to kill one of them at the meeting between Queen Victoria of England and King Louis Philippe of France. It didn't matter who it was.
If the assassination succeeds, they will be heroes, and these heroes and their families will be pardoned, whether they are alive or not.
If the assassination fails, they will not be recognized. If their identities are exposed again, their families and themselves will be wiped out from this world.
Whether the mission is successful or not, there will be a boat waiting for them beside the canal. This boat is a British merchant ship with immunity and can freely pass on the Seine.
Of course, Duke Liubai also gave them the opportunity to withdraw and return to Siberia as if nothing had happened.
But although these people did not know the specific identity of the other party, they all knew very well that choosing to withdraw at this time was tantamount to suicide.
After that, these ten people were arranged to Paris in different identities, with the purpose of approaching and killing the target. Most of them were arranged in the crowd with ordinary people, and some were given the identities of reporters and attendants.
The person closest to the target that day was only about 50 meters away, but the sudden attack disrupted the entire arrangement.
The chaotic crowd and a large number of soldiers completely separated them from the target. After that, a large number of patrolmen drove them and ordinary people away from the scene, and could only watch the plan fail.
In fact, in Franz's opinion, the Russians' one-time deal was too primitive. The Dutch would at least deliberately find someone with a Russian accent to bribe Adolf Fitzclarenz, even if it failed, they could still lead people in the wrong direction.
Adolf Fitzclarenz was the captain of the "Victoria and Albert" and the illegitimate son of the former British king.
But in fact, the Russians' approach often has the highest success rate, but Franz disrupted the plan.
The assassination failed before it was implemented, which also disrupted Duke Liubai's plan. These people are very dangerous desperados, including very cruel political prisoners and members of cult organizations.
He couldn't let these people return to society, let alone let the French help him. In addition, the assassination failed, and Duke Liubai could already imagine Nicholas I's furious look.
He now had to solve the mess he had created, so a real-life Paris battle royale began. In fact, there was a little shadow of the violent neighborhood. After all, Duke Liubai had asked the local gangsters to help in order to increase the success rate.
None of the ten killers returned to the pre-arranged boat, because those killers also knew who they were working for, at least who that big shot was working for, and Nicholas I would not allow these losers to live.
The gang members joined forces with the agents under Duke Liubai to launch a raid on the killers, but the battle was not fierce, there was no fierce gunfight, and there was no crazy racing.
Although Russia had obtained a mature set of technology for manufacturing revolvers at this time, in fact only the dignitaries were equipped with this weapon.
Even officers could not have one per person, and the equipment rate of the Tsarist Guard was less than 50%, not to mention the non-staff members such as the Special Third Section.
This was not because the cost of the new revolver was high, nor was it because Russia's industrial strength was not good and the output was insufficient. It was just that this weapon was too cheap and excellent, which affected the interests of many people.
So this kind of standard weapon became a "rare commodity", after all, at this time, no one in Europe could compare to Russia in terms of corruption.
The agents under Duke Liubai did not have it, nor did the local gang members in Paris, but it did not mean that the assassins who were supposed to assassinate the king did not have it.
After a day and a night of hunting, six of the ten assassins were confirmed dead, two had left Paris by boat, and two were hiding in some corner.
Most of Duke Liubai's men had been killed. This was not because those assassins were really super soldiers, but because the French police were a little embarrassed.
After all, Louis Philippe was very annoyed by the fact that the alliance proposal was shelved. He felt that this was a problem with the security work of the Paris police, so he had replaced several police chiefs.
At this time, the newly appointed police chief even led people to fight crime on the street in person, which had never happened in France before and after hundreds of years, so the effect was extraordinary.
After all, it was on the French territory, and it was not easy to end such a big thing.
Duke Liubai was still thinking about how to do a good job of post-processing, and the Paris police helped him a lot.
The assassination of Queen Victoria and the continuous violent incidents were all said to be terrorist acts of the insurgents.
What's more, the next day, the new police chief Chopper ordered his men to tie the bodies of the criminals who were shot last night to the back of the carriage and drag them.
What the chief never expected was that this move once again greatly affected the image that Louis Philippe had worked hard to create in front of the public.
