Chapter 633: Attacking the Arsenal
At this time, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, people in Daxia are enjoying the New Year, but the calendar in the Western continent is completely different, and they are still working.
Overseas colonies of the Lionheart Kingdom.
Compared with ten years ago, the size of the colony has expanded seven to eight times, and more than 300,000 Westerners have immigrated overseas, which is almost the population of a province.
Overseas local councils still control this land, and even the local nobles have been assimilated.
Interest, interest is the most powerful weapon after all.
Sanger is an important force in the parliament. With the support of the Great Xia Empire, he has bitten off a piece of fat.
Although many people are not ashamed of this traitorous behavior, it does not prevent him from living comfortably.
Even after Sanger left the colony, they still did not dare to erode his property.
This is the intimidating power of Daxia, which makes people envious, jealous and hateful.
But recently, the atmosphere in the colony has been a bit strange.
The reason is simple, a powerful dragon has arrived.
Prince Charlie's story is no secret and many people sympathize with him.
But sympathy is sympathy, and sympathy does not mean that you can tolerate him sharing your flesh.
But Prince Charlie didn't just decide to cause trouble in the colonies on a whim. Senator Joy, who controlled the colonial navy, was a member of his wife's natal family.
Because of this relationship, Councilor Joy fell to Prince Charlie's side very early on.
This deep-rooted relationship was so strong that it was too late for Congressman Joy to jump ship in advance.
Once he abandons Prince Charlie, he will definitely not be welcomed by the royalists, but bitten by a pack of hyenas.
The winner will devour everything from the loser.
Fortunately, Prince Charlie got back on his feet. When the production lines from Bactria were shipped to overseas colonies, Senator Joy was very excited.
Although Prince Charlie had other people here to take charge of this matter, he was heartened by what it represented.
The two production lines were put together on land not far from the naval port.
This is for easy care, and it happens to be blocked by a small hill, so the factory will not be bombarded by ships.
On this day, Congressman Joy habitually climbed up to take a look.
Although his view was blocked by the hill, he would feel at ease just by looking at it.
After watching for a while, he asked his subordinates with satisfaction: "There have been no suspicious persons coming in or out recently, right?"
As the first line of defense deployed by Prince Charlie, Councilor Joy was very concerned.
The navy controlled the sea passage in and out of the colony, and large-scale flows of people and weapons could not be hidden from his sight.
"No, General, our people are keeping an eye on all the land passages, and there is absolutely no large-scale movement."
Councilor Joy is still worried. Sometimes it is not necessarily outsiders who take action.
The colony is not monolithic, especially since Prince Charlie is an outsider. I am afraid many people want to see him leave in disgrace.
"Didn't the factory send a batch of new guns? Starting today, we will double the manpower for patrolling.
After the new recruits are trained, I will add more manpower to you. "
Congressman Joy gritted his teeth and increased investment. If Prince Charlie's arms factory hadn't recently started construction and sent a batch of weapons and ammunition, he would not have dared to expand the army like this.
His subordinates immediately responded and arranged for a group of people to work overtime.
The sight came to the arms factory behind the hill. With two production lines brought from Daxia as the core, plus some imitation semi-mechanical production lines, it can manufacture rifles, pistols, grenades and 57 infantry guns.
For overseas colonies, it is already a large military factory.
Sanger has been struggling for so many years, and the output of rifles may be more, but he cannot make infantry cannons himself.
Such an important place is naturally heavily guarded.
Not only does the factory have its own guards, but ten kilometers away is a private military camp in Sanger.
Five kilometers away is the Navy's port, and there are Marines patrolling day and night.
For outsiders, it's almost impossible to sneak in.
Unless... someone leads the way.
Today, a group of people happened to be lurking nearby.
They skillfully avoided the patrol range of the Sanger private soldiers, and then inserted themselves near the arsenal.
In the distance, searchlights shone back and forth, looking for possible enemies.
The officer leading the team looked around and found no obvious flaws. He could only say bitterly: "Mader, these guys are quite cautious. It seems that they can only attack by force."
"Wait a little longer and attack later in the night."
According to the body's biological clock, the second half of the night is when you are most tired, and you have the highest chance of winning in a strong attack.
They are all experienced soldiers and have no problem lurking for several hours.
Before coming, they mentioned that they had obtained detailed information, including the number of people on duty, the scope of the patrol and the general route.
They even considered how long after the attack there would be support.
As for the navy...it's just a decoration.
It's not a war. Would the navy's artillery shells dare to hit the military factory?
If the cannon was fired, they would have the navy to thank.
The sneak attackers were full of confidence, and they had considered their respective situations.
With sufficient intelligence support, the success rate of the operation is very high, and it may be possible to safely withdraw with most of the people.
At this moment, a night owl suddenly called three times.
This is their code, indicating that something is going on.
"Everyone get down and don't make a sound."
At this time, it is not ruled out that some patrols may deviate from the direction, but generally they will not deviate too far.
And they are still fifty meters away from the safe zone and will not be discovered.
The sentry thought so too, and then saw the patrol team from the navy turned a corner and got closer and closer to the main force.
"What are they doing? Deserting?"
The sentry was confused, the intelligence showed that the patrol team's route would not extend here at all!
They never thought that Councillor Joey would change the plan temporarily.
But even if the plan was not changed temporarily, this attack would not have any results.
Prince Charlie knew how his family had taken the rebels' arsenal, so how could he not be prepared.
If they rushed into the wall, they would find that some small rooms in the arsenal had been transformed into machine gun barriers.
The "scrapped" machine guns picked up from Daxia would make them realize what great mercy is.
Of course, when the patrol team came to the front of the lurking team, the two sides stared at each other for a second, and then they didn't even have the chance to rush into the courtyard wall.
A gunshot broke the silence of the night, and then the crackling battle completely attracted the attention of the arsenal.
The fleet on the sea was also alarmed and began to move.
Councillor Joey was still on the boat, and he immediately sent more people to support him.
However, he turned back inadvertently, and was immediately frightened to death.
He saw a warship made by the Lionheart, turning its guns and aiming at the shore.
This was the real killer, and the ones on the shore were just cannon fodder to attract attention.
