Expedition to Europe

Looking at the early 20th century from the perspective of the 21st century, international relations were chaotic and countries were barbaric.

But people in the early 20th century did not think so.

We are all civilized people. As long as we have not completely torn our faces apart, countries will maintain a superficial balance. Even if they are dirty in private, they must maintain a friendly situation on the surface and build a harmonious society together.

This is the relationship between Lan Fang and Britain, between France and Britain, and even between Britain and the United States.

In fact, strictly speaking, there are no fundamental differences between these countries. Whether it is Lan Fang or Britain, everything they do is to make their country stronger and make their citizens live better. In this regard, all countries are the same.

But when it comes to individuals, there are always differences.

After all, the total social resources are just this much. If one country gets more, other countries will get less. If this tilt continues, the superficial balance cannot be maintained.

The British have already stated that Huang Fugui is not in their hands, so Lan Fang will choose violent actions.

Similarly, if McTavish and his men were discovered by the British, the fig leaf between Lan Fang and Britain would be torn off. Although it is estimated that there will be no war for a while, the deterioration of relations between them is certain.

So when the searchlight on the British gunboat shone in the direction of Litai Foreign Trade, McTavish was really nervous.

Fortunately, this was probably just a routine inspection. The British searchlight just swept past and did not intend to stay, which made McTavish feel relieved.

Although the searchlight had swept over, McTavish did not dare to be careless and stayed where he was. He waited until the searchlight swept over again five minutes later, and then McTavish began to climb up.

Climbing with bare hands sounds very high-end, but it is actually not the case. As long as the physical fitness is good enough and a little training is received, anyone can do it.

Buildings, unless it is done deliberately, there will always be protrusions that can be used. The window sills, balcony railings, and even the corners of water pipes can all become fulcrums that can be used.

When the building of Litai Foreign Trade was built, it was obviously built for comfort, and defense was not considered much, so there were quite a lot of fulcrums. McTavish climbed up like a monkey, almost without any pause, and it looked even faster than climbing stairs.

When he reached the top of the building, McTavish still secretly poked his head out of the side to observe first, and then he climbed up lightly when he saw the opportunity, and came behind the British patrolling on the roof. While strangling his neck, he stabbed in the gap between the third and fourth ribs.

There was really no reaction. The British just struggled for a while, and then did not move. McTavish had to free his hands to grab the rifle that the British dropped, so as not to make any noise and alarm others.

McTavish practiced pure killing. Once he started, there was no room for maneuver. The heart was between the third and fourth ribs. If he stabbed it from here, there would be no chance of survival.

In order to conceal his tracks, McTavish ordered a commando soldier to put on the clothes of the dead British man, take the Lee Enfield and stay on the rooftop to continue to stand guard, and then sneak down through the small door on the roof.

Foreign companies are things that only rich people can afford, and the interior decoration is naturally perfect. Although it is the early 20th century and electricity is not so abundant, it is obvious that there is no problem of power shortage for Litai Foreign Company. Even if it is more than nine o'clock and it is time for rest, the lights in the corridor are still on, and the bright lights make McTavish feel a little regretful.

This is a bit early, it should be two or three o'clock in the morning.

In this day and age, although movies have been born, there is no entertainment because they are not yet popular. Basically, at eight or nine o'clock in the evening, if there is no accident, people have already gone to bed.

At this time, people's vigilance is the worst.

At two or three o'clock in the morning is when the human body clock is the most tired. If people have fallen asleep, they will also sleep the most soundly. If you launch an attack at that time, of course, you can, but at the same time, two or three o'clock in the morning is also the time when the guards are the most nervous, and it is the most difficult to sneak in at that time.

Many things can be concluded through simple reverse reasoning, just like the current Lan Fang’s arrangement of guards, which is basically a single sentry during the day, and it will become a double sentry at night. In the second half of the night, it is not only a double sentry on the surface, but also a secret sentry, just to prevent someone from taking the opportunity to attack.

Now that I have come, there is no time to regret, and there is no way back now. McTavish secretly peeked into the corridor, then took out a black tube from his arms and screwed it on the pistol.

Yes, McTavish screwed the silencer.

It wasn't just McTavish. Almost all the commandos were screwing silencers onto their pistols, which made Zhang Hanqing and his men dumbfounded.

Silencers were the latest product produced by the Lan Fang Military Factory. Not to mention Zhang Hanqing, even ordinary Lan Fang soldiers had not been equipped with them. This was the first time silencers were used in actual combat.

Zhang Hanqing still understood battlefield discipline. Although he felt itchy as if he was being scratched by a cat, he still managed to hold back and not ask.

McTavish had no intention of explaining. He tightened the silencer and pushed the door into the corridor without any hesitation.

Infiltration is actually espionage. All commando members are not protected by the International Convention. If they are discovered, they will basically die.

Since it is so cruel, McTavish will not hold back. He would rather die than his fellow Taoists. So a bloody storm immediately began.

Starting from the fourth floor, McTavish and his team prepared to search room by room until they found Huang Fugui.

Although the information provided by Richard confirmed that Huang Fugui was here, it did not confirm the specific details of Huang Fugui. From the first moment they entered Litai Foreign Trade, McTavish and his team cut off their support. Everything depended on McTavish and his team.

In fact, all military targets, whether they are guarded or not, are basically tight on the outside and loose on the inside. There are also many people who want to be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, but that is not easy. There is only a thief who can steal for a thousand days, but there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. If the nerves of the security personnel are always in a tense state, I am afraid that before the enemy launches an attack, the security personnel will collapse.

The same is true for Li Tai Foreign Trade Company. On the surface, there are more than a dozen security personnel, but when you enter Li Tai Foreign Trade Company, there is really no defense. There is not even a single person in the corridor. It is so quiet that it makes people feel palpitating.

The original text is in Liu # 9 @Book/Bar!

There are still human figures. There are portraits of people hanging in the corridor. Some are smiling and refreshing, while others are serious and meticulous. Whether they are smiling or serious, you only need to look at those portraits. Those portraits are staring at you with big eyes and bright eyes. To be honest, it is a bit scary to look at them for a long time.

At this time, don't scare yourself anymore. McTavish ignored it and walked forward along the carpeted corridor.

It's good to be rich. Even the corridors are covered with hand-woven carpets from Turkey. You don't need to deliberately cover up when walking on them. It's silent. McTavish walked so briskly, just like he was going to see Su Mo.

This is a structure similar to a tube building. The stairs are in the middle of the floor. There are more than a dozen rooms evenly distributed on both sides, about five or six on each side.

The commando team led by McTavish is still quite a lot of people. Five or six rooms can be assigned to each of them. Seeing that the manpower has been assigned, McTavish made a gesture, and then the commando member in the same group with McTavish turned the lock of the door next to him.

Breaking into the room is really a technical job. In fact, there was no effective means of breaking in until World War II.

In the Battle of Stalingrad during World War II, Zhukov still summed up a set of combat methods for breaking into the room, but that method is not applicable in the current situation.

Zhukov's method is only suitable for use on the battlefield. It is a pure violent intrusion. Whatever weapons are available are used without any reservation. The noise is as loud as demolition. It is really not suitable for special operations.

McTavish's method is more "tactful". In fact, it is not shooting if you can avoid shooting. Try to use knives to solve the problem. But if the intrusion is discovered, don't be polite. Use guns when necessary. Anyway, silencers have been installed, and there is not much noise.

Just after another commando member turned the door, the door just opened a gap for people to enter and exit, and McTavish immediately rushed in with a pistol. It was a perfect match.

There is also a science to holding a gun.

It is not the posture of stretching the arm and poking forward as much as possible in the 21st century film and television works, but the posture of placing the pistol between the chest and abdomen, with the arm close to the body, forming a stable triangle with the body.

This posture is actually the most convenient for action. Basically, the gun can point to wherever the gunman sees. This way, the people in the room will not see the gun first, then an arm, and finally the gunman.

In fact, life and death really only take a moment to break into the room. One of the favorite games of American cowboys in the West is to see who takes less time from drawing the gun to firing. Of course, the British are not lacking in good players. An excellent shooter takes about 0.2 to 0.3 seconds from drawing the gun to firing, which is almost the blink of an eye. Life and death have been decided.

At this time, of course, you must do everything you can to kill the opponent, leaving no room for maneuver.
