Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 518
Three days ago, a secret base in western China.Jian Dao has just completed today's training mission and returned to his tent. Before leading Jian Feng, the only special force in the world, he was a hot-tempered, simple-minded ordinary soldier, but time has quietly passed His edges and corners are smoothed, so that people who like to be lively are willing to endure loneliness.Five years have passed since the last rescue operation in Europe. He lost one brother that time, and the whereabouts of two others are still unknown.

Loneliness can make people numb, especially the strict discipline of the special forces, who will never have the right to ask, and can only silently wait for the next mission, which may be five years, ten years, or 20 years later .

He thought of the emperor, this is a charismatic monarch, sometimes he would write all his emotions on his face, cute like a child, sometimes so hidden, everyone I don't know what he is thinking, but it is such an emperor that Ling Jiandao has never weakened his respect for him for so many years.In his heart, the emperor is the best superior, and sometimes even the best friend. In this world, he is the only one who knows himself and everyone in the vanguard best.Jiandao often wonders, does the emperor also feel lonely and lonely?Maybe.

He looked at his watch, it was time for rest, and there was a new training task tomorrow, so he turned over and prepared to sleep peacefully.

At this time, the team member Zhanlang hurriedly pushed the door open, came to Jiandao, and whispered to him: "Captain, the base command is looking for you everywhere. The emperor wants to meet you in Beijing. I heard that there is an urgent mission. The plane has already arrived." Ready."

The sharp knife immediately became excited, and the crazy feeling when the beast smelled the blood came back again, and the drowsiness disappeared immediately. He hurriedly greeted several of his subordinates, and drove straight to the airport. The clerk said: "Quick! Beijing!"

In the middle of the night, in the Forbidden City, Beijing, in the underground chamber of the Qianqing Palace.This is not the heavily guarded underground fortification that people imagine, but a very simple underground palace, surrounded by only some camouflaged fortifications and simple bunkers, there is only one company of guards, and there are only a few heavy weapons. It's just a machine gun.

When the sharp knife stepped into this secret room, Guan Xuqing had been waiting for a long time.Besides the emperor, Feng Xianghua and Xu Shichang were also present.

Without exchanging pleasantries or greetings, Xu Shichang immediately introduced the current fighting situation in Singapore and the situation of the hostage incident to Jian Dao.

"Your mission is very clear." Guan Xuqing turned around, his elusive eyes fixed on the sharp knife, "the 238 hostages must be rescued from Singapore unharmed. Otherwise, Yuan Shikai will take these people Bargain with me, but you know I will never compromise on this kind of issue. Now, I just ask you one thing, can you do it?"

After listening to the emperor's instructions, Jiandao's heart trembled. He did not expect that his army's first mission in five years would be so important and difficult. You must know that the difference from the last time was that it was just a hostage last time, but this time There are 238 hostages, and it seems that this is another impossible task to be rescued unscathed.But Jiandao, who has always been conceited and adventurous, did not show a trace of fear, and immediately stood at attention and said, "Of course it can be done! Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Xu Shichang handed a drawing to Jiandao: "This is a map of the Singapore area. You can add it up after you go back for details. The local terrain and the situation of the enemy's garrison are marked in detail."

"Teguang Island?" The sharp knife glanced at the map and said the place name casually.

"That's right. Yuan Shikai is really old and cunning. After spying by the Imperial Security Bureau, it turns out that Yuan Shikai arranged 238 hostages in the back house of the Governor's Mansion, and even stationed a regiment of troops to guard them. Later, he went back and forth several times, but where are they currently being detained?" I don't know yet." Xu Shichang said with a frown.

The sharp knife gritted its teeth: "Don't worry, the sharp-pointed troops guarantee to complete the task!"

'good! "Guan Xuqing finally said: "First transfer you to the air force, and you will follow the arrangements of the airborne commander for details.Apart from you, there are only 4 people who know about this matter. You can use any method you think is feasible to rescue the hostages. The key is not to cause any casualties to the hostages.go! "

"twitter!"

After leaving the Forbidden City, Jiandao immediately got in touch with the commander of the Imperial Airborne Forces.Afterwards, 7 people selected by the 60th Airborne Regiment and 10 intelligence experts appointed by the Security Bureau, together with 20 members of the vanguard unit, formed a capable rescue team. Ling Chengcheng arrived in Singapore that day. The secret contact point, but it did not alarm Cai E's Huwei army, because the operation was required to be carried out in complete secrecy.

The hostage rescue operation was full of difficulties. The most urgent and troublesome thing was that no one knew where the hostages were being held.Perhaps Yuan Shikai had fully considered the possibility of taking hostages, so the place of detention was not only highly confidential, but also kept moving.

After understanding and investigation, the hostages were first taken to the back house of the Governor's Mansion, detained for about two days, and then sent to the patrol barracks of the Public Security Bureau on the edge of the city.Later, Duan Qirui asked the Governor-General's Office to transfer the place of detention to Malaysia, but Yuan Shikai flatly refused, considering that Malaysia's defense capability is relatively weak, and the possibility of assassination and kidnapping of hostages is relatively high. Duan Qirui's request.Later, the sharp knife found out that on June 6, the hostages were transferred to the Bukit Panjang area by five military vehicles.The next day, he was secretly transferred to a disguised brothel in the Serang area. There was no reception at all, and it was located in a hidden area, so it was not easy to leak the news.

But there will be no further news.Jiandao used various channels and tried every means to find out the news. In a blink of an eye, two days passed and still found nothing. Even Zhao Bingjun, the director of the security bureau with great powers, felt hopeless. He sighed and said: "I can only go to fortune telling. "

Feng Xianghua was worried all day long, and came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to see the emperor every day. Guan Xuqing seemed calm and calm, and said to Feng Xianghua: "Xianghua, you are the highest officer of the Imperial Military Command, and you must first learn to sit down when you encounter problems. kind of air."

"Cha." Feng Xianghua said respectfully.

"It's not a big deal. Yuan Shikai didn't dare to attack the hostages before the Tigers took further action. Otherwise, he would be too stupid. He knows very well what he wants now. What he wants is nothing more than a way to survive. He also knows that What I want, what I want is that those 238 people can leave Singapore safely. Yuan Shikai is sure to die, and now it is nothing more than waiting a few more days. Besides, the sea area around Singapore is blocked by our warships, and the Singapore airport is also blocked. Our army is in control, and Yuan Shikai will not escape even if he spreads his wings." Guan Xuqing had a clear judgment on the whole situation.

"However, what I'm worried about is whether the vanguard troops can fulfill their mission and successfully complete the rescue mission. If the operation fails and the hostages are threatened, the lives of those hostages will be lost!"

Guan Xuqing didn't go to see Feng Xianghua again, sat down and began to review the memorial, and after a long while, he casually said: "I am not afraid, what are you afraid of!"

Another day passed, and a spy sent by Jiandao rushed back excitedly, and said to Jiandao: "There is news, there is news!"

But Jiandao asked calmly: "What news, please tell me in detail."

"In the past two days, I have been in charge of visiting the northeast of Singapore. Today, according to a fruit seller in a small town on Ubin Island, the maid of his big customer's family has an appointment with a soldier who is on duty on the island. I got married, but for more than 1 days, my boss has neither allowed soldiers to visit the island, nor allowed my fiancée to date on the island. According to some residents on the island, many soldiers were stationed on the island suddenly more than 20 days ago. It is said that it is to protect the property of the governor. They also put up barbed wire and set up a military observation area. Residents on the island are strictly prohibited from approaching this area, otherwise they will be killed. Moreover, some people have seen with their own eyes that military doctors often go there, and sometimes in the mansion late at night. There will be a call or two. I think this news may be related to the hostages, so I hurried back to report."

"You mean more than 20 days ago?"

"Yes, I must remember correctly, that's what the man said."

The sharp knife's eyes flickered, and he quickly calculated in his mind that more than 20 days ago happened to be around the time of Yuan Shikai's birthday. Based on such an inference, the island must be related to the hostages.

"By the way, didn't Yuan Shikai station two brigades of troops on Ubin Island and Tekong Island? When the Huwei Army attacked Singapore, they bypassed these two islands, and the troops on the islands did not go to the various places. There must be something wrong with this island!" Bingfeng said suddenly.

Jiandao took a breath: "Fortunately, Cai E didn't notice the abnormality of these two islands at the time, otherwise, once he attacked there, Yuan Shikai might have solved the hostages at that time."

Based on this, everyone speculates that important political prisoners must be held on this island. The soldier is performing an extremely important security task, and it is very likely that he is holding 238 hostages.

In the afternoon, another spy sent back news that a young officer of the Singapore Navy accidentally revealed an important inside story after being drunk. The target of the pick-up was an island in the northeast. This important news can already prove that the hostages are definitely in Ubin Island.

After determining the target location, the sharp knife did not dare to delay and immediately reported the situation to Xu Shichang.Soon, Xu Shichang received an urgent order: "Use warships to take back the hostages if necessary!"

But when the sharp knife was about to implement the rescue plan, news came that the target had been transferred again, and the specific whereabouts were unknown.
