Episode 3 I have to go without conditions and create conditions
Episode 3: Even if there are no conditions, we have to create conditions
Although Xiang Xiaoqiang knew that Fourteenth Princess was one of the largest princes in the Northern Qing Dynasty and had businesses and real estate properties all over the country, but he really didn't expect that she even had property in a place like Northern Xinjiang. And it was in the Altai Mountains.
Next to a certain lake. In Xiang Xiaoqiang's impression, in this era, Kanas Lake should still be a little-known place, a place where birds don't poop.
But Shi Shi Ge Ge briefly explained the situation to him, and Xiang Xiaoqiang was immediately relieved. Yes, isn't it normal to build villas for powerful people in scenic spots? And Shi Shi Ge Ge was also one of the most powerful dignitaries in the Qing Dynasty at that time.
First, she is a "Heshuo"-level member of the clan, and she also holds such great power in the Sticky Branch. There are really not many people like her in the Northern Qing Dynasty who occupy both sides. If the governor of Altay really builds a few villas, he will
If you want to give it to the dignitaries in the capital, as long as you have eyes, you must have a set of fourteen squares.
Xiang Xiaoqiang tentatively asked:
"So, um, you...have been there?"
Fourteen Gege nodded:
“Only been there once.”
Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled in surprise and said:
"Ah, when did it happen? You didn't even tell me!"
Fourteen Gege laughed angrily and said:
"You didn't ask, what did I say?"
"You didn't mention it last time we came to Northern Xinjiang!"
Fourteen Gege stopped laughing and just said:
"There's nothing to mention."
Xiang Xiaoqiang saw her indifferent expression and immediately understood why. The first time she came to Northern Xinjiang was to visit Kanas Lake as a princess of the Qing Dynasty, and the second time she came to Northern Xinjiang was as a "Gege" who rebelled against the Northern Qing Dynasty.
"Princess of Nanming", who came to help Nanming occupy the last piece of Northern Qing territory. Comparing the two, things are different and people are different. This is what Shi Shigege wants to avoid deliberately. There is really nothing to say.
…
In any case, now that Guangwu's hiding place has been roughly guessed, and there is another person who has been to that place in person, everyone feels that there is hope and they have cards in their hands. Of course, as for how to play these cards now
, there are no clear plans yet.
Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at everyone and said without any doubt:
"No need to ask, if Guangwu is there, we have to make a plan to kidnap him or kill him."
Fourteen Gege smiled and said:
"Obviously, Guangwu moved to that place just to make it more difficult for us to kidnap him or kill him."
Xiuxiu interjected:
"The key is to find out whether Guangwu is really there, and if so, how many Soviet guards there are."
Deputy Director Zhang looked at Xiuxiu and said hesitantly:
"Your Highness the Princess means...that we send a commando to attack?"
Everyone was silent for a while. Obviously, the difficulty is not that high. Let alone how to fight after entering, how to enter in the first place is a problem. If the commando team can do it, it would not be much more convenient in Altay City earlier.
Qiu Qiu suddenly said:
"What if...we do a bombing?"
Several people looked at each other, and then all looked at the Fourteenth Grid, meaning to ask: How is that place? Is it suitable for bombing?
Shi Shi Ge Ge understood what they meant. She recalled it and said:
"There is a Western castle by the lake, which is the emperor's palace, and there are five villas scattered along the lake. One of them is mine. I have only been to my villa, not the castle. I have only looked at it from the outside.
Yes. That castle is very narrow, very high, and built on a cliff by the lake. It feels like this..."
She picked up a box of cigarettes on the table and put the cigarette box upright on the table:
"That's what it feels like."
Several people looked at each other. Everyone understood that this kind of target is the most difficult to bomb. Not to mention horizontal bombers, even dive bombers would be as difficult to hit this kind of target as throwing a soybean on the tip of a needle.
Deputy Director Zhang was hoping for luck again and asked:
"Your Highness, do you remember what material this castle is made of?"
Fourteen Gege shook his head and said with a smile:
"It's definitely not made of bricks and concrete anyway. It's impossible to transport bricks in from outside the mountain."
Zhu Yourong knows the best about this issue. She has lived in castles in England and visited mountain castles in continental Europe. She said:
"As long as it is a mountain castle, it usually uses nearby materials - stone and concrete. It is normal for the walls to be more than one meter thick. Some interior parts, such as stairs, are sometimes made of wood. But the load-bearing structures are usually made of stone strips.
The arch structure is made up of little arcs on both sides, and finally the top part in the middle is plugged and fixed with a 'keystone'. It is very strong and has stood for thousands of years. Even the castle at Kanas Lake... because it is modern
It was built, maybe reinforced concrete components were used inside.”
Zhu Yourong's professional explanation completely disappointed Deputy Director Zhang, who was hoping for a chance.
Xiang Xiaoqiang sighed:
"Yes, so what if we hit one or two. A one-meter-thick strip of stone and concrete is the same as a permanent fortification. Besides, our purpose is not to blow up the castle, but to kill a person inside. This
It’s even more difficult. As long as they move him to the basement, or simply move him to the nearby forest, what if we blow up the castle?"
Everyone was silent again for a while, and they all realized what Shi Shigege had just said - "Guangwu moved to that place just to make it more difficult for us to kidnap him or kill him."
Xiang Xiaoqiang thought for a while, looked around the crowd, and clapped loudly:
"Okay, let's think about the path of the commando first! There are definitely difficulties, but there are always more solutions than difficulties. From today on, our goal is to kill Guang Wu! Our slogan is - to go to the army if conditions permit.
, even if you don’t have the conditions to create conditions, you have to do it!”
Everyone in the room looked at him with expressionless faces.
Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled and said:
"Okay, for the first question, let's think about how the commandos will get in."
Xiuxiu touched him lightly and reminded in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, should we conduct aerial reconnaissance first to make sure?"
"Huh? What are you investigating? Are you investigating whether Guangwu is in the castle?"
Xiuxiu glanced at others and whispered:
"Investigate the Soviet defenses in the lake area. If the Soviets have deployed there, or we are attacked by anti-aircraft fire, it means that important people are living there."
Fourteen Gege nodded and said:
"Xiuxiu is right. We need to do some reconnaissance first, and at least take some photos. Whether we use bombing or commandos, we need to know the general environment of the place and the location of the castle. In the case of commandos, the height of the castle
, the window position and so on must be included. These all require photos. Also, Xiao Wu, write it down..."
She turned around and gave an order, and Xiao Wu, who was sitting next to her, immediately took out a small notebook.
"Immediately order the Dongchang and People's Guards in Nanjing: First, find out who the designer of that castle is and where he is now. Second, the Altay governor was the one who funded the construction. Find out where he is now and what he is doing.
.If we find him secretly on our side, it seems. Third, go to the Archives Office of the Forbidden City in Beijing immediately and check if there are any drawings of the Kanas Lake Palace."
