Wang Huaiyuan really made the biggest mistake. For the sake of safety, he deprived Pierre of his intelligence analysis rights, preventing him from receiving the latest situation intelligence for more than two months in a row.
He had no idea what changes had taken place in the situation in Europe in the past two months. Like ordinary people, he could only see some clues through newspapers, but he had no access to the real core intelligence.
For example, during this trip to Bavaria, if Pierre had been following Xiao Letian, Pierre would have reminded him before departure.
Napoleon III now hated Xiao Letian so much that he wanted to eat Xiao Letian alive. In the British base camp and the Prussian territory, the French would definitely have no chance to take action.
Even if they want to assassinate, they don't have the ability, but Bavaria is different. It is a German kingdom that is unstable.
Moreover, the country's martial spirit is still relatively weak, and French influence has penetrated very widely here. If the French want to play dirty tricks, the only choice is Bavaria.
The telegram from Hamburg flew to Munich. When the Prussian intelligence officers received the telegram from Hamburg, they were all frightened.
Of course, these Prussian intelligence officers had concerns about France, but due to different business levels, these Prussian intelligence officers believed that the possibility of French assassination was unlikely.
The key point is that all the head of state's itineraries are kept secret, and even senior officials of the Bavarian Parliament do not know. Therefore, Prussian intelligence officers and CIA intelligence personnel lowered the threat to France.
However, Pierre's status in the world is not ordinary. He clearly raised the threat level of France and directly determined that the ambush must be on the railway. This can't help but make people worry.
But it was too late now. Xiao Letian had already boarded the special train heading north. In this era, there were no radios or mobile phones, so they could not communicate with the moving train at all.
"Quick! Hurry and find out where the President's train is. Send a telegram to the nearest train station in front of the train and ask those stations to stop the President's train!"
"Quick, quick, quick...notify Bavaria immediately and let him send troops to block all railway arteries leading to Berlin!"
"Check the railways and have the Bavarian road guards and engineers inspect the railways immediately, especially the bridges, which must be focused on!"
"Inform Ludwig II, inform Prince Liutpod... Tell them clearly that if nothing happens to the head of state, nothing will happen! Once something happens, their Kingdom of Bavaria will never be able to live with it!"
Another intelligence officer reminded in a low voice, "Sir! Maybe the situation is not as urgent as Hamburg said. After all, the time and route of the head of state's trip are all confidential..."
"When will the Führer return to Berlin? What time will it be? Which railway line will he choose to return? The French will never get this information..."
"How could they sabotage the railway without solid intelligence?"
"Stop talking, I understand what you are saying, and I understand the truth, but things are not going to work just by being reasonable. How can you guarantee that there are no traitors in Bavaria?"
"What if someone at the top of Bavaria secretly leaked information about the head of state? What if the French now have the detailed timetable and route of the train?"
Those words made everyone present fall silent, and their faces turned pale with fright. They knew that if the head of state of the East died in Bavaria, the situation would become unimaginable.
…
Bavaria is one of the kingdoms in the German Federation, second only to Prussia in terms of comprehensive national strength. Ludwig II's father was not as mediocre as his son.
He was a monarch who attached great importance to industrial power. Under his advocacy, railway construction in Bavaria was in full swing.
The special train flew between the mountains of Bavaria, on the shining railway tracks, with beautiful lakes and mountains on both sides of the carriage. The Chinese officers and soldiers were completely immersed in this beautiful scene and could not extricate themselves.
But they didn't know that there was a huge trap right in front of them. They were fully prepared and were waiting for the head of state to fall into the trap!
The special train will pass through the Danube River, a famous river in Europe! There is a very important small city on the Danube River, Ingolstadt. After passing here is a very dense virgin forest, which the locals call the Altmittal Forest.
It is sparsely populated, densely wooded, and full of streams and valleys. The abundant water is an important supplement to the Danube River. Deep in the dense forest, a group of French spies are busy nervously.
This is a railway bridge built in a valley. The railway bridge is not long, only thirty or forty meters long, but the valley is very deep, as high as five or six stories high. A small stream flows slowly at the bottom of the valley!
Important railway bridges like this have road guards on duty all year round, but at this moment, this road guard was cut into a naked pig and thrown into the bushes far away, and his throat was slit. There was a deep wound and the blood had drained away, leaving the body with a bluish-white sheen.
A French spy wore the uniform of a road guard. He stood in a small wooden house beside the iron bridge with a sinister smile on his face, quietly waiting for the special train from the south to arrive.
At the bottom of the valley, under the abutments of the railway bridge, four French sappers were installing a large number of guns.
"Tie it tighter, tie it tighter, and check* for any damp spots?"
"Bring a candle here! The iron beams here are wet with the morning dew. I want to wrap them with a layer of wax!"
"Hurry up! Hurry up! Move the * to the hiding place..."
The hidden hiding place is behind a sudden rock. A dead soldier is waiting there quietly, and several veteran intelligence officers around him are explaining the detailed steps of this mission to him.
"Listen... After you ignite it, it can only burn for 20 seconds before it explodes. That means you only have 20 seconds to escape!"
"Always pay attention to the wooden house on the iron bridge. The brother disguised as a road guard will give you a signal at any time. He will wave the red flag in his hand!"
"Whenever you see a red flag waving, light up your gun immediately, then ignore everything and run as fast as you can for 20 seconds in the direction of the stream. You can run as far as you can..."
"Did you see that rock across the creek in the distance? Within 20 seconds, if you can run behind that rock and hide tightly underneath, then basically you will not be hit by the falling steel beam. Hit with a train!"
"I have estimated that as long as your legs and feet are fast enough, you have a 70% chance of surviving!"
"Sir, you don't need to say it. You have to do something for your life after receiving the money to do it. Even if I can't escape alive, I will definitely complete this mission!" The dead man rubbed his hands and looked at the iron head above his head with a ferocious expression. bridge.
The surrounding intelligence officers patted him on the shoulder, "God bless you! Don't worry, we will not deduct a single cent of the pension left for your wife and children. The empire will always remember your contribution!"
"Of course, I want to wish you good luck! Maybe God will favor you and let you escape this disaster. By then, the good days of promotion and wealth are still to come!"
"We have calculated everything. 20 seconds is enough to *ignite* the fire, and 20 seconds is also the moment when the train reaches the railway bridge!"
"Even if the bombs can't kill the Chinese, falling into such a deep valley can still kill them alive!"
