When he saw the checkpoint in front of him, Zhao Yu felt that his teeth were constantly knocking together, and he could even hear the clicking sound, which was very rhythmic.
"Stop!" the checkpoint commander issued a stern order from afar: "This place is closed to traffic...Stop!"
But the team had no intention of stopping. Instead, the driver stepped on the accelerator, causing the vehicle to reach extremely fast speeds.
"Stop!" the checkpoint commander who noticed the problem shouted loudly, and the surrounding soldiers also took off the guns on their backs. But at this moment, a clear sound suddenly came from the building not far away.
Gunshot.
A bullet directly penetrated the checkpoint officer's head, and blood spattered. All the soldiers around the checkpoint were immediately frightened by the sudden attack and became confused. They all looked for bunkers and raised their heads to check where the sniper might be hiding.
At this moment, the leading luxury car directly smashed into the temporary wooden barricade, breaking the wooden stick as thick as a forearm into two pieces.
The cars behind them whizzed by without any intention of slowing down. The last car actually threw hundreds of gold coins out of the car window, and they fell to the ground with a nice tinkling sound.
"Is it possible for us to break through like this?" Zhao Yu was shocked and looked at the young mastermind sitting next to him.
The young plotter chuckled: "Don't worry! We have carefully selected the areas around here. They are all civilian areas. There are no telephones... They want to send out the news that someone has broken into the card, and they can't do it in less than twenty minutes.
.”
In order to delay the reporting time of the soldiers, they also scattered hundreds of gold coins on the ground. After the soldiers picked up the money and then went to find the phone, it would be delayed for more than ten minutes.
During this time, their convoy had already arrived at the destination, entered the tunnel, and began to move out of the city. By the time Li Mingshun found the tunnel and knew the direction of Zhao Yu's escape, Zhao Yu was probably on the plane.
By the time they got on the plane, the pursuers behind them would not be able to catch up. The reason why they took the risk of taking the plane was because the train had been prepared in advance and there was a risk of being intercepted along the way.
There were a few local officials whose loyalty was questionable. In order to ensure nothing went wrong, they had no choice but to escape by plane. After all, no matter how brave the intelligence department of the Tang Empire was, it was impossible to cover more than a thousand kilometers of the Great China Empire.
The bribe was flawless.
】
As long as Zhao Kai ordered an interception, there would still be many places where Zhao Kai's orders would be carried out, threatening Zhao Yu's safety. So in desperation, he finally decided to leave by plane and bear some risk of a plane crash.
As for whether the Great China Empire will take off planes to intercept - pilots who are qualified to fly advanced fighter jets that can catch up with the C-47 transport aircraft, which one has nothing to do with the Great Tang Empire?
Datang has already made arrangements. At a passing field airport, four fighter jets will take off to perform escort missions. These pilots will protect the C-47 aircraft when it arrives at Fengjiang. In fact, it is tantamount to following
Zhao Yu rebelled together.
Sure enough, it took Li Mingshun more than half an hour to get the news that someone had broken into the card. When he rushed to the scene with his people, there was no shiny gold coin visible on the ground.
Looking gloomily at the blood on the ground and the body of the checkpoint commander lying in the middle of the road, Li Mingshun immediately began to pursue him.
What makes people desperate is that the imperial capital of the Dahua Empire is very big, very, very big. A dozen cars are really easy to hide. After sending Zhao Yu away, these cars quickly dispersed and disappeared without a trace.
No trace.
The Rolls-Royce that had crashed through the checkpoint had long been burned by a fire. The flames also attracted Li Mingshun's attention, and he searched nearby for a long time, but could not find a secret passage out of the city.
Luxury cars of this type are everywhere in the imperial capital. No one even knows the exact number. The license plates of the cars were removed before ignition. It is estimated that they can be installed on any car and continue to be used. There is no way to tell.
Any flaws.
In the end, Li Mingshun could only report the situation, and then led others to assume that Zhao Yu had escaped from the imperial capital and began to search the surrounding area.
At the same time, the DC-3 passenger plane from the Tang Empire, which no one dared to detain or ask any questions about, had already taken off and headed far away in the direction of Fengjiang.
In a country like the Dahua Empire that does not have a radar air defense system, it is not easy to find an aircraft that has already taken off.
From time to time, a plane passes by in the sky. If you just observe it with the naked eye, it is just a small black dot. Who can identify whether this plane is the one you are looking for?
You can't shoot down all the same type of aircraft in the sky, right? Your Dahua Empire has hundreds of DC-3 aircraft, including those from Shu, Qin, Chu, and the Tang Empire. You can shoot them down.
How do you explain to others if you are wrong?
It's fine for other countries, but the worst they can do is pay money and apologize... The Tang Empire is eager for some reason to fall out...
There are three airports around the imperial capital of the Dahua Empire. One is a military airport used internally, which is used to mobilize public supplies and park and maintain fighter jets and military transport aircraft. The other two are civilian airports.
At this moment, in the control tower of the civil airport to the east, the person on duty responsible for dispatching was holding the phone and answering the questioning call from the city defense army headquarters in confusion: "Yes, a plane just took off...
...More than one, yes, can you provide the exact time? If it is not accurate, I will not send you an answer..."
"Yes, within half an hour... uh... there were six planes taking off... one was from Shu, one was from Qin... yes, there were two more domestic flights, and one was flying to China.
Tang. If it takes forty minutes, there will be two more planes...both heading to Datang." He answered clearly because there was a timetable.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Put the rest of the planes on the ground! Check again!" An angry voice came from the other side of the phone. Then without asking any more questions, the phone call
It was hung up.
Immediately afterwards, in the military airport, more than a dozen pilots rushed to their planes amid the sound of sirens. The ground staff were busy for a while. Although there was little hope, the Dahua Empire was still preparing to dispatch aircraft to intercept those planes that had already taken off.
It's a pity that their pursuit like this is destined to be fruitless: compared with the tattered fighter jets of the Dahua Empire, the DC-3 transport aircraft is actually not too slow, so pursuit is not a very good choice.
What's more, if the other party deliberately yaws by one and a half degrees while flying, and then relies on the eyes to find an airplane in the clouds... then there is little hope.
But Dahua really has no other good solution - if the power of the imperial capital is not used, only God knows how much the local power can do its best.
In Xifengjiang City, after seeing the telegram from the Imperial Capital in his hand, the city lord complained with a solemn expression: "Are you kidding me? Why did the situation suddenly become tense? What's going on?"
The content of the telegram was to order civilian officials to refrain from interfering with troop movements and to be ready to receive new military commanders sent by the empire.
The officer who came to deliver the telegram said that he did not know the truth: "I don't know either. The news from the imperial capital said that a fight suddenly broke out, and an order was received here to raise the alert level.
"
"If something goes wrong here, who will be responsible?" He threw the telegram aside, and as a local official who supported Zhao Yu, the city lord asked disdainfully.
The officer glanced at the other party and reminded him: "Sir, is it too late to take responsibility at this time? Are the troops outside the city under your control?"
The city lord, who knew what the other party was talking about, pondered for a while, and then asked: "Most of the commanders of the troops outside the city are our own people. There is no problem in this. What I am afraid of is that if we move now, there will be no one in the imperial capital.
When chaos breaks out, aren’t we committing chaos on top of committing crimes?”
Because the message did not clearly state what happened in the imperial capital, they were still in a state of ignorance. If they act rashly at this time, they may cause trouble.
The officer thought clearly, and sneered: "How long have you been, and you still want to sit on the fence? It will be too late if you don't express your position! If we are not prepared, when His Highness Zhao Yu needs it, we will
If we can’t find anyone, wouldn’t you and I have to die?”
"You mean..." The city lord was shaken when he heard what the officer said. He had already boarded Zhao Yu's ship. He was in Fengjiang and had close relations with the Tang Dynasty. It was simply a dream to break away from the relationship.
.
His hesitation just now was not because he was not firm in his position, but because he was afraid that he would cause trouble first and would not be easy to explain to Zhao Yu.
But the officer didn't think so. He was already from the Tang Empire, so he simply said: "If His Highness Zhao Yu succeeds, then it doesn't matter if we make some noise here. If His Highness Zhao Yu does that,
If our side fails, no matter what we do or don’t do, won’t we die together in the end?”
"You're right! Order the troops to be put on alert! Follow me across the river... to the Dongfeng River, meet the people from the Tang Kingdom, and think of a solution!" The city lord nodded and immediately made a decision.
"That's all! Let's go!" Pretending to be reluctant, the officer followed the pace of the city lord and walked out.
Almost at the same time that the DC-3 transport plane took off, the intelligence department of the Tang Empire received a telegram. The telegram was encrypted and the content was very simple: "The prey has been taken, and nothing can be reversed."
"Operation Balance has achieved a staged victory!" Leo, who got the note, smiled and looked at Loew, who was sitting aside and also waiting for the news: "The next step...it depends on you."
