The fortress must be conquered from within, and the enemies around it are the most terrifying. General Prim never expected that the gardener who had been working in his home for three years would actually be an assassin.
The bullet hit the general's back, and Prim was half-kneeling on the ground in severe pain. Two soldiers attacked the gardener one after another through the railing. One blocked the muzzle of the gun while the other held on tightly. Lived the assassin's hair.
This is an indigenous pistol that can only hold one bullet, and the barrel is specially sawn. Because it is very small, it escaped the inspection of the guards and was mixed in the tool box.
The gardener was pressed against the iron fence so hard that his face was distorted by the squeeze, but he still shouted "Long live the Queen!"
"Catch alive and subject to rigorous interrogation" were General Juan Prim's last words before he fell into coma.
Juan Prim is the most powerful person in Spanish politics at the moment. His army firmly controls the order of Spain. His assassination directly plunged the situation in Spain into an irreversible situation.
Prim's ally, General Serrano, had not even taken his first bite of dinner when he received this shocking news. The fork in his hand fell on the plate with a clatter, and he was completely stunned.
"God, Prim was assassinated. Damn it. Spain is finished. Spain is finished."
The new king has not ascended the throne. Domestic rebellions and military conflicts are emerging one after another. Popular protests and marches are also common. The struggle for hegemony between Prussia and France in the north has come to an end, and France, the traditional protectorate, is also finished.
At such a chaotic time, another war broke out in the Philippines, and the Chinese were about to occupy all of Luzon.
There is good news wherever you look, but now that Juan Prim has been assassinated again, how can you live this life?
Serrano rushed out of the house without even riding in the carriage, and rode a war horse to visit his allies. The guards around him did not dare to neglect, and mobilized almost all the soldiers that could be mobilized around him. There were more than a thousand people protecting the general. Running wildly in the streets.
No one knows if there has been another assassination of General Serrano, or even the true identity of the assassin. No one knows whether it was the royalists or the Chinese who did it.
The people of Madeira were all dumbfounded when they saw the scene in front of them. They closed their doors one by one and did not dare to stay on the streets. On horseback, General Serrano issued martial law in the city and began to search for the remaining assassins.
By the time the group arrived at General Prim's residence, the place was already protected by more than two thousand regular troops, and every sight was full of soldiers.
In addition to General Serrano, more than 20 other government officials also came. Everyone was waiting anxiously outside General Prim's bedroom, where an operation was being performed.
"How long has it been since the operation? It's been an hour and the bullet hasn't been removed yet."
"How did the assassin's interrogation go? Did he confess?"
"General, the doctor said that the bullet got stuck in the spine and damaged important blood vessels. The operation is very dangerous. As for the assassins, they revealed their identities during the assassination. They are all remnants of the royalists who support the queen."
"How come there are still people supporting that damn fat pig-like woman? What kind of era is this? Are there still so many stubborn royalists?"
"Even the king has to be elected by the people. I really thought it was the Middle Ages."
At this moment, the bedroom door was pushed open, and a doctor dressed in blood walked out, and the ministers outside immediately surrounded him.
"Gentlemen, gentlemen, please be quiet and let the patient rest."
"The operation went very smoothly. The bullet has been removed. The patient is now in a coma but the danger period has not passed yet. One is the risk of blood loss and the other is the risk of infection."
"I have done my best, and leave the rest to God."
Serrano grabbed the doctor's hand. "You should understand the importance of General Prim to Spain. You must save him, you must"
The doctor shook his head helplessly, "Of course I will try my best, and I will consult with more doctors, but excessive blood loss is a big problem unless"
"Unless something"
"There is a legend in our medical community that Dongya Xiao Letian holds the secret of blood in his hands, and his royal doctor can perform the most advanced blood transfusion techniques."
"None of us have seen it, but many colleagues are indeed rumored that if blood transfusion can be performed on the general now, I think it will provide a lot of safety."
This is just like nonsense. Let’s not talk about whether the blood transfusion thaumaturgy is true or false. Even if it is true, this technology is controlled by the Chinese. How can Spain open its mouth?
No matter how generous Xiao Letian is, he cannot send a doctor, and the proud Spaniards will not beg their enemies.
General Serrano pondered for a moment, "You go down and rest first, and take good care of the general during this time."
"Please don't worry, I will do it." Just as the doctor was about to leave, he suddenly slapped his forehead, "By the way, I forgot something important."
"Before the operation, the general had a moment of consciousness and he said something."
"What words"
"Putting the blame on the Chinese were the general's last words before he passed out."
Everyone knows the meaning of blaming the Chinese, that is, throwing the blame for the assassination on Xiao Letian.
"Juan Prim, my old friend," Serrano Ho's government officials said with tears in their eyes, "In the most dangerous moment, you are still thinking about Spain, and you are still thinking about our current situation."
"Please rest assured, this blame will definitely be thrown on the Chinese Xiao Letian, who is the mastermind behind this."
After a whole night of rescue and observation, General Juan Prim did not wake up. That night, all important cities in Europe received the shocking news, and the sales began early the next morning.
“The Spanish government condemns the atrocities committed by the Chinese after the assassination of General Juan Prim”
"Xiao Letian killed someone. Xiao Letian sent an assassin to kill Spain's General Prim, no one, no one"
Good guy, this is a ladle of cold water poured into the boiling oil pan. Today’s headlines on the 16th were actually snatched away by the Spaniards.
It is simply too easy for a government to produce perjury. Overnight, the Spanish government concocted a whole chain of evidence.
If you want witnesses, there will be witnesses, if you want physical evidence, there will be physical evidence. The assassin's confession is freshly released, and the forged list of entry and exit from the customs is also produced.
Spain insisted that the Chinese assassinated General Prim in the hope that Spain would be in chaos so that it would be unable to dispatch the expeditionary force.
