Munitions Empire-Chapter 969 - 892 Zhao Yu’s Wait

Chapter 969: 892 Zhao Yu’s Wait Chapter 969: 892 Zhao Yu’s Wait When he heard the harsh siren, the agitated Zhao Yu put down the curtain and walked back to his desk. He flicked a glance at the young strategist sitting there, hesitated, wanting to say something.

But he opened his mouth for a long time and couldn’t say anything, because he didn’t know what he should ask; he was just purely irritable and didn’t know what was best to do.

He had been in this state ever since the beginning, because he didn’t know whether the operation would be successful or what would happen next.

He didn’t know whether the people he had sent out had completed their task, nor did he know why the sirens outside were incessantly blaring.

Even if Crown Prince Zhao Ji wasn’t assassinated, outside it would still be chaotic at this moment and it wouldn’t quiet down for a long time.

Yet, this matter was indeed massive, so Zhao Yu was still very nervous; it wasn’t his fault for not being able to remain calm, it was just that everyone needed an emotional outlet. When Adolf advanced into the Rhineland demilitarized zone, he too clung nervously to the radio waiting for news. But to say the leader’s psychological quality isn’t strong would indeed be too demanding.

After walking back and forth for a long time, the young strategist at the desk finally stopped daydreaming, looked up at Zhao Yu, and curiously asked, “Your Highness, what is the rush? Isn’t everything already prepared?”

...

Of course, he didn’t need to worry because he knew everything that might happen today: including that Zhao Ji probably wasn’t dead and was still hiding in the Imperial Palace.

In reality, the entire mission was risk-free for the Tang Empire: whether Zhao Ji got the note or not, or even if he went home after getting it, it didn’t matter.

If Zhao Ji died in his residence, then the Tang Empire would activate a contingency plan, waiting to raise Zhao Yu to the throne of the Dahua Empire, and the Tang Empire would suffer no loss.

Even if Zhao Yu’s assassination plan failed, then everything would proceed as originally planned: Operation Tianping would start, and Zhao Yu would be safely transported to Fengjiang City, the split of the Dahua Empire would become inevitable.

In any case, under the current circumstances, whatever development occurred was no longer controllable by the Dahua Empire. So this young dandelion was not anxious at all, instead, he was very composed.

This demeanor, in the eyes of Zhao Yu, appeared very profound and mysterious —— being able to stay composed under such circumstances revealed an extremely strong psychological quality.

“I don’t know why, but I always feel uneasy,” Zhao Yu thought admiringly of his strategist, continuing his pacing back and forth.

Ha, of course, you would feel uneasy — if things went as usual, the assassination squad you sent out is probably clashing with the City Defense Army right now.

By now, they would nearly have run out of ammo, and given your people’s abilities and willpower, it’s likely a few would be left alive. Zhao Kai wouldn’t need three hours to learn everything, and he would carefully consider how to handle this matter.

Despite thinking this, the strategist still spoke up, consoling the Crown Prince, “What’s there to fear? The escape route is ready, a tunnel leads straight outside the city, there won’t be any issues.”

He spoke of the previous arrangements, which were indeed foolproof: “As long as they follow the original plan and shake off pursuit, they can quickly hide beneath the tunnel and then escape to a safe cellar to take refuge.”

After breaking out, they shake off the pursuit with the aid of snipers, then change cars at a pre-designated location, soon arriving at a safe house.

The safe house has a tunnel leading directly outside the city, to a basement in a farmhouse that has long been standing idle outside the city, escaping the subsequent search.

As the strategist spoke, he reiterated the entire process to Zhao Yu: “There, provisions for thirty days have been stored, including even playing cards, as long as they endure three to five days, the inspection won’t be so strict.”

Just enduring the initial ten days, from any perspective, the intensity of the pursuit would begin to falter. Then hand these people over to Tang Empire’s intelligence officers to get them into Tang Country, and the matter would be completely concluded.

The reason why so much effort was taken not to kill these individuals once and for all was mainly because Zhao Yu couldn’t bear it: these were almost all the elite he could trust around him, and it wasn’t easy to train such capable individuals for such tasks.

Regrettably, in the Tang Empire intelligence officers’ script, these people were supposed to die today, and die with significant value.

Finally, the young strategist confidently concluded the entire matter: “My people handling it, there won’t be any problems.”

“Ah… my worry is for my men,” Zhao Yu sighed, half-exasperated, half-amused.

In the two years of collaboration, he had come to know what kind of efficiency those tough individuals from the Tang Empire possessed. He certainly knew that if the matter was handled by his strategist, the possibility of failure was almost non-existent.

Regrettably, on this matter, the strategist adamantly refused to interfere. Indeed, after hearing Zhao Yu’s sigh, the young strategist explained with a look of helplessness, “There’s no way around it, Your Highness, you know that this matter must be handled by your people, if mine intervened, then it would become an issue between states.”
