After Mark Fernando turned off the radio, he stood up from the table. The breakfast on the table was almost untouched. He kept smoking, one after another. He walked to the window, stared at the city outside the window, and lit another one.
cigarette.
"Bastard, damn the empire."
He muttered the word softly, full of resentment, and then cursed under his breath to express his hatred for the Ming Empire.
As a spy, Mark came to this city three years ago. As a Latino exiled in the United States, his hatred for the Ming Empire is unforgettable. After all, under the invasion of the Ming Empire, he not only lost his father and
Brother, he also lost the property that he should have inherited.
When the Ming Dynasty invaded Peru, as a teenager, he - the son of a lieutenant colonel - fled Peru with his mother on a merchant ship. Leaving behind their prosperous life, they came to the United States and became an exile.
Six years ago, he became a member of the U.S. Naval Intelligence Service. Three years ago, he came to Mexico. Why did he come here?
Not only to collect intelligence, but also to instigate an uprising against the royal family by local powerful factions.
Smoking one cigarette after another, Mark said to himself after smoking the last cigarette.
"It seems that this is the only way!"
…
After knocking on the door, voices came from inside asking:
"who?"
Mark put his face to the crack of the door,
"It's me, Mark."
Mark tried to lower his voice as much as possible. The door was opened a crack, Daniel looked outside, and then opened the door.
"Mark, didn't I tell you? We should try to avoid meeting each other."
As soon as he entered the door, Daniel said bluntly,
"I am not Latino. I am very conspicuous here. It is also very dangerous for you to come to see me."
"Daniel, you are not usually so cautious."
"This is not for myself,"
Daniel said.
"I can take care of myself under any circumstances, but I don't want to harm you because of me. After all, our mission has not been completed yet."
He pointed out the window and said.
"What is the purpose of our coming here? Isn't it just to complete the mission and cause chaos in Mexico?"
"However, this work does not go very smoothly."
"Those guys are all cowards. They complain that the royal family is robbing their property, but they dare not use force to resist the royal family."
He took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, lit it and took a puff, while Daniel continued talking.
"Maybe they have their own militia, but they are afraid of the army in the hands of the royal family, and even more afraid of the empire, so they just complain with their mouths. Now this is the current situation we are facing. Without the participation of those people, we would not be able to
Mission impossible."
The people he refers to are those powerful local factions who control a large amount of land, but those people are very realistic and they clearly know their own strength.
"This is not 20 years ago. Now the Mexican royal family has established a foothold here. Not only has they won the support of the people bit by bit, but they also have hundreds of thousands of troops loyal to the royal family, and they also have the support of the Ming Empire. It is undeniable.
, Those local powerful factions may be full of complaints against the royal family, but they will never take risks easily when faced with such a situation. If we don't face it, it will be purely self-deception."
In fact, it is very simple to win the support of the people. After all, those local forces have never treated people as human beings.
Mark looked at Daniel and said.
"The way I see it, if we want to accomplish our mission, there is only one option that is feasible. This option is to provoke conflict between them and make them fight! This way we can achieve our primary goal - to plunge Mexico into civil war. I
Think we should assassinate the Prince of California!”
Assassination of the Prince of California!
who is he?
He is the husband of Princess Sofia, Crown Prince of Mexico! The prince of the Ming Empire.
Daniel quickly raised his head. The room was completely silent, and he could only occasionally hear the slight sound of wind outside the window.
"Indeed, this sounds risky, but if it can be implemented, Mexico will definitely fall into civil war..."
Mark continued,
"In the past few years, the land survey in Mexico has been presided over by the Prince of California. The local nobles in various states have long been dissatisfied with him. However, no one dares to challenge him. After all, behind him is the Ming Empire."
Land surveying used to be a magic weapon for Mexican powerful people to plunder people's land. But now? It is the basis for the princes of California and Mexican officials to take back land.
"Yes, in that case, who dares to assassinate him?"
Daniel said bluntly.
"Assassinating him will only trigger Ming's revenge, and may even give the Mexican royal family an excuse to carry out radical land reform."
"Isn't this exactly our purpose? In fact, it doesn't matter whether the assassination can be successful or not. What is important is that we have to draw clues to those local powerful factions and give the Mexican royal family a reason to attack them. Of course, it also gives those local families a reason to attack them.
A reason to rebel against royal rule and restore the republic."
Daniel looked at him in astonishment. After a while, he slowly understood, nodded and said.
"Indeed, we need to destabilize their internal turmoil and use their internal instability to create turmoil. So what should we do?"
Over the next half hour, Mark explained his plan, while Daniel was lost in thought. Mark's plan gradually took shape in his mind.
"... Our only way is to hire an outsider, and what about this outsider? It must have direct contact with a certain local family. In this way, when the Mexican authorities investigate, they will find that the assassination is related to
There are close ties among local families."
This is indeed a very good method. Whether it is success or failure, you can get corresponding rewards.
"Is there a suitable partner?"
Finally, Daniel asked.
"As long as there is money, there will be someone willing to sell their soul to the devil. The only problem is..."
Mark said.
"We need someone to back us up."
…
"I don't care how you plan to do this."
When MacArthur was speaking, he once again looked at the photo in front of him, and then cast his gaze on the Navy Lieutenant Colonel, a strange look flashed in his eyes.
"As long as it can plunge Mexico into chaos, for California, that's the most important thing!"
While speaking, MacArthur looked out the window with an indifferent look.
"Yes, sir, but this operation will cost a lot of money."
"How much?"
MacArthur asked.
"cash,"
Lieutenant Colonel of the Navy, after thinking for a while he said,
"Pay half in advance and pay the other half later."
"How many?"
"Two hundred thousand."
"You'll get everything you need, Lieutenant Colonel."
MacArthur said bluntly.
"Okay, go and do your thing, now..."
Standing up and walking to the map, MacArthur stared at the arrows on the map that symbolized the movements of the Ming army, and then said.
"Where is their attack direction? North? Or south? Otherwise, let's give it a try..."
