Chapter 1940

He Xi's main purpose of arranging this job for Zhang Qianzhi was just to let Zhang Qianzhi take this opportunity to add credit to his personal qualifications. He did not expect that some emergencies would occur along the way. Zhang Qianzhi also did not expect that.

On this seemingly easy trip, there were special events that required his intervention.

Based on the information currently available, both Zhang Qianzhi and Qiao Zhiya believed that this was most likely an attack planned against the crown prince of Joseon. However, because the preparations were not complete enough, the group had no choice but to temporarily suspend the operation.

But this may not mean that this group of people has given up on their goal, and it is impossible to say that they will look for opportunities to launch other attacks on the Joseon Crown Prince in the future.

In the past two or three years, as Haihan's opponents in the South China Sea have dwindled, the frequency of various hostile actions against Haihan's important figures has become less and less frequent. Even opponents who are unconvinced by Haihan will

Realizing that this country has become a climate, even if one or two political figures are lucky enough to be assassinated, it will not be able to slow down its development momentum. Haihan is still the most powerful country in this region. And once Haihan is angered by this, war is almost inevitable.

As a result, the effect is counterproductive.

As for attacking foreign dignitaries in Haihan, such cases have been rare before. Moreover, North Korea is far away from the South China Sea. Logically speaking, it should have no rivals in the region. How could anyone plan to attack North Korea who visited Haihan?

Crown Prince, this is what Zhang Qianzhi is most puzzled about at the moment - what is the motive for attacking the Crown Prince of Joseon?

"Let's assume that the opponent's action succeeds and the crown prince of Joseon is injured or even killed in the attack. What will happen next?"

Since no one has been arrested yet, Zhang Qianzhi can only speculate on the identity and motives of the other party through hypothetical plans, because there must be huge interests involved behind this, which will drive these desperadoes to complete the task in an almost impossible situation.

He still ventured into the industrial area. In other words, he believed that this was by no means a personal grudge, but that the master behind them was secretly instigating this matter because he was driven by some kind of profit.

Bai Kesi said: "If something happens to the crown prince of Joseon in our country, the first thing to be affected will be the diplomatic relations between our country and North Korea. The two countries currently have many ongoing industrial cooperation projects, which may also be affected by this. Zhang Qianzhi, are you

I don’t mean to say that if this group of people succeeds, who will be the final beneficiary?”

Zhang Qianzhi nodded and said: "Since we have planned such a risky action, it must be justified if there are corresponding gains. As you said, the diplomatic relations and cooperative industries between the two countries may be affected, so who will be in this situation?

Beneficiaries?”

Baikesurong said: "This is hard to say. There have always been objections in North Korea to the alliance with my country and even subsequent cooperation. Even if we send troops to help North Korea win this year's war, its domestic opinions are still not completely unified. . Some people do not want to see these industries appear in North Korea, because it will have a great impact on their vested interests. In addition, although the crown prince’s succession is ranked first, not all ministers support him. There are still two younger brothers below, so there are still variables regarding the succession to the throne."

Bai Kesi pointed out that there are currently two types of beneficiaries in North Korea, one is vested interests that compete with existing industrial cooperation projects, and the other is the two brothers and their supporters who compete with Li Bo for the right to inherit the throne. If Li Bo

If something happens in Haihan, both types of people will directly and automatically benefit from it.

Bai Kesi continued: "This is only what we know about the domestic situation in North Korea. In fact, if something happens to North Korea, including the Ming Dynasty, the surrounding countries will probably be happy to see the consequences. We cannot completely rule out the possibility that other countries will attack North Korea.

, will plan such actions behind the scenes. After all, if it succeeds, it can not only beat North Korea, but also provide us with eye drops, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

As Bai Kesi said, although North Korea won a crucial war with the help of Haihan this year and defeated its old enemy in the north for many years, this result did not actually improve North Korea's international status.

improvement, because everyone knew that the foreign coalition forces headed by Haihan were the main force on the battlefield at that time, and North Korea only played a supporting role in the course of the war.

Needless to say, the Qing Dynasty and Japan had long-standing grievances with Korea. Even the Ming Dynasty, the former suzerain state of Korea, was somewhat resentful because of the change in Korea's position and its defection to Haihan. It can be said that the relationship between the two countries has dropped to the lowest level.

The lowest point in history. If there is a suitable opportunity, it would not be surprising to Bai Kesi if Ming Dynasty wants to put some obstacles in the way of North Korea and deal with its vacillating younger brother.

Zhang Qianzhi was quite emotional after hearing Bai Kesi's analysis: "In this way, North Korea's situation can be described as internal and external troubles. I don't know how many people expected something to happen to Li Bo... But when Li Bo was originally arranged to inspect the island, the top and bottom were not

Are you all optimistic that the trip will be safe?"

Bai Kesi said: "The main reason was that at that time we believed that North Korea had no enemies in the South China Sea, and we did not think that countries hostile to North Korea or certain forces in North Korea could come to our country to cause trouble. But now it seems that we may have underestimated it.

The opponent's capabilities. Fortunately, our security measures are quite effective and we have not left any opportunities for our opponents."

Zhang Qianzhi had some objections to Bai Kesi's statement. He still believed that the other party had actually found the opportunity to take action, but was just a little bit unlucky in terms of timing. If the other party had taken action just a moment earlier, he might have really threatened Li Shu.

's personal safety.

Qiao Zhiya said: "I would also like to add that the beneficiaries you just mentioned are all about North Korea, but in fact if something happens to the crown prince of North Korea in our country, it will also have a certain impact on our country's international reputation. I think

There will definitely be more people who see this situation than those who want to deal with the Joseon Crown Prince."

"That means that the targets with motives must also include our country's opponents." Bai Kesi frowned and said: "Then there are too many forces that may take action. Probably only after these people are caught

, can we confirm who is the mastermind behind this matter."

If foreign forces were involved, the arrest would undoubtedly require the intervention of the Ministry of Security. However, since the incident occurred in the area under Qiao Zhiya's jurisdiction, Zhang Qianzhi did not dare to overstep his authority and take over the arrest. Moreover, after the incident, the relevant areas were

Search operations are almost always carried out by the garrison, and even the local police are only auxiliary. The local arrests naturally have to wait for Qiao Zhiya to take the lead.

Qiao Zhiya was obviously not satisfied with the efficiency of his men's actions. More than two hours had passed since the incident, but he still could not find the group of people who pretended to be porters and sneaked into the industrial area. Although there were various traffic in and out of Changhua

The hubs have begun to set up checkpoints, but apart from creating a little chaos and tension in the local area, there is no other gain.

Of course, this is also related to the professional functions of the local garrison. It is okay to temporarily dispatch troops to perform security tasks, and low-difficulty tasks such as road closures and checkpoints are not out of the question, but if they are required to analyze intelligence and track and arrest suspects, it is really difficult.

It was a bit difficult for these soldiers who had never received specialized training. There was a serious lack of experienced professionals like Zhang Qianzhi in the local area. They basically followed the orders given by the superiors, and the results of the operations were not ideal.

In fact, Qiao Zhiya was also very aware of the shortcomings of his armed forces, and he took the initiative to admit his responsibility: "Since they would choose to temporarily suspend the operation and evacuate the industrial zone, they must have prepared an escape route before the operation. After the incident, we are still here

The reaction was delayed for a moment. We should immediately order the sealing of the land and sea passages in and out of Changhua, and then slowly investigate the whereabouts of these people. It is not easy for more than a dozen people to hide. It’s just that the delay is too long, unless they

I’m still taking chances, otherwise I’m afraid I would have left Changhua by this time!”

As Qiao Zhiya said, Xue Zheng did not take any chances after ordering the evacuation of the industrial zone. He did not dare to underestimate Haihan's security force at all. He knew that the coke of the three abandoned cars on the roadside would inevitably trigger a follow-up investigation.

If they don't leave Changhua as soon as possible, they are likely to be trapped here. And the identities of their group will definitely not withstand strict interrogation. Therefore, after leaving the industrial zone, Xue Zheng did not dare to spend a moment in the county town.

Stay, and ordered everyone to return to the port at full speed to board the ship and leave the port.

They were indeed lucky. Not long after leaving the port, cavalry rushed to the port and announced that from now on, all ships leaving the port would only need to be boarded and inspected by the military before they could leave. If they had left the port just a moment later, it might have been too narrow.

The entry and exit channel is blocked by other large cargo ships, so it will probably be difficult for them to leave here calmly.

"We can't stay in Changhua any longer, otherwise everyone will have to stay in this hellish place!" After going out to sea and confirming that no ship was following, Xue Zheng explained with lingering fear the reason why he ordered to suspend the operation and evacuate Changhua.

If they had taken action at that time, the chance of breaking through the cavalry defense line outside the workshop would have been slim, and it was very likely that they would all be trapped there and unable to evacuate. But even if they had not taken action, they would have been on the verge of being exposed, and the two evils were at odds with each other.

Whichever is easier, suspending the operation and evacuating immediately is undoubtedly the wisest choice. In this way, at least they can preserve their strength and have the opportunity to plan the next operation.

"Boss, where should we go now?" One of his subordinates asked him for instructions. Previously eager to escape Changhua, Xue Zheng did not specify a destination. He just left the port and sailed to the sea first. But at this time, it was confirmed that there were no pursuers.

Then you need to consider your next course of action.

Xue Zheng quickly made a decision: "Go to Danzhou! If the Joseon Prince's inspection was not interrupted because of this, he would definitely go to Danzhou. Let's go there early and have more time to prepare, so as to plan a complete action plan.

!”

Compared with Yinggehai and Changhua, Danzhou is the real large-scale seaport city on the west coast of Hainan Island, and it is also the cultural industry center of Haihan. The prince of Joseon will not miss this if he wants to investigate the local customs and customs of Hainan.

Station. And Danzhou is much more prosperous than the previous two stations, so perhaps you can find more opportunities to get closer to your target there.

As for whether his appearance would be exposed due to previous actions, Xue Zheng was not very worried. They still managed to disguise themselves before pretending to be porters, trying to cover up the distinctive parts of their appearance. Xue Zheng

They also specially glued a dirty beard on their face. As long as they changed their appearance and outfit, no one would associate them with the coolies who transported coke.

Rush to Danzhou now. That way you can arrive at least one day earlier than the Koreans and have more time to get familiar with the local environment. Moreover, some of the people on the ship have been to Danzhou before and don’t know much about the local area.

People like Yinggehai and Changhua who have a black eye will be more confident in their actions.

And Xue Zheng also has a secret method to hide this group of men. There may be some local manpower in Danzhou at his disposal. These hidden stakes lurking in the local area may not be able to directly participate in the assassination operation, but they should be able to report to them.

He provided some useful intelligence information. This is obviously much more beneficial than the isolated operation in Yinggehai and Changhua.

Of course, he could not completely determine the North Koreans' itinerary. He could only make such speculations based on what he knew. If he failed to find the North Koreans when he went to Danzhou, it would most likely mean the failure of the entire operation.

When the North Koreans return to Sanya, it will not be so easy to find new means of attack.

"If something like this happens, do we have to temporarily stop the rest of our itinerary?"

After communicating with other accompanying officials, Tian Zheng, who was in charge of Li Bo's inspection trip, raised concerns about Zhang Qianzhi and Gai Liangcai. Although the trip was arranged by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, security problems have arisen. The person in charge of security

Officials have the power to modify the itinerary. And Tian Zheng understands that these two people have very strong backgrounds. It is best to actively seek their opinions on this kind of matter, so as not to have to do it himself if something goes wrong with the itinerary.

Taking the blame.

Gai Liangcai took the initiative to give Zhang Qianzhi the opportunity to make a decision: "Brother Zhang knows the situation better, so it's up to Brother Zhang to make the decision!"

Zhang Qianzhi said: "The information we have currently cannot predict the next move of this group of people. We can only strengthen security measures first. But if the inspection trip is interrupted, I am worried that the North Koreans will have bad thoughts about it. In addition,

To say hello to Hong Jingwen, don’t mention today’s events in his press release. Before this case is revealed, it’s best for everyone to remain silent and try not to talk about it in front of North Koreans.”
