The assassination team nodded.
This time's action plan should have been extremely perfect. They could never imagine why these people could predict their action plan in advance.
You can even kill them back.
And this time they were carrying muskets.
The other party just had some cold weapons. In this situation, they still killed people and did not kill the target of this mission.
General Horn said in a deep voice: "You should lurk now, destroy all the muskets and equipment used, and leave here immediately."
"Remember, no one can discover it."
"The mission has failed. You cannot expose any traces."
"Remember, our next plan must not be disrupted."
After receiving the order, the assassination troops immediately retreated into the shadows, just as General Horn said.
It is absolutely impossible for them to get ahead during this period of time.
General Horn sat down, tapped the table, and began to think about how to deal with the following matters.
"Call Drew, hurry!"
General Horn ordered again.
That night, while Drew was still lingering with a call girl, he was called to General Horn.
Looking at General Horn's serious and dull expression.
Drew instantly realized that something bad had happened. He did not estimate the etiquette and hurriedly asked: "General, what happened."
"It's so late. If you called me over, something must have happened, right?"
Drew felt uneasy, but there must be no flaw in the assassination of Li He.
He has dealt with Li He many times and knows what kind of person this guy is.
If this matter is exposed, it will most likely affect the layout of his entire plan later.
When he thought of this, Drew felt dizzy.
General Horn said in a deep voice: "The assassination of Li He failed. Three of our people died."
Upon hearing the news, Drew was stunned, and his whole body felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
What he worried about most happened.
Oh Lord...
Drew shakily found a chair and sat down.
The air fell into silence for several seconds. He needed time to digest this matter, and he needed to think of an excellent way to deal with it.
But his mind is blank now and he has no idea how to deal with it.
General Horn said calmly: "Don't worry, I have told those assassination troops to hide, so no one will know they exist."
"No one will think that you assassinated Li He."
"This will pass."
Drew's expression was terrifyingly gloomy, and he didn't know whether to laugh, cry, or curse the arrogant General Horn.
He underestimated Li He too much.
This assassination will definitely make Li He furious.
Although he is no longer the leader of the Longyan Army, this is not important to those Longyan Army.
They only know one fact.
Their former leader was assassinated, and it would be better to say that he was dead. If he was not dead, there would be absolutely no chance of assassinating him a second time.
And this will also anger those Dragon Flame Army.
Now that their people are still dead at the scene, this is tantamount to throwing evidence into the hands of the other party.
If this matter is exposed, it will definitely cause an uproar.
Drew's whole body was numb.
He had a deep conflict with Li He, and Li He was dismissed because of him.
He will be the number one suspect regarding Li He's assassination.
Originally, Drew wanted General Horn's assassination team to kill Li He quietly without attracting anyone's attention.
Who could have imagined that it would cause such a big movement.
"It is impossible for General to calm down the situation now. We must act as soon as possible."
"The assassination has exposed our plan. I believe it won't be long before Li He may lead a team to investigate here. By then we will all be in danger."
General Horn frowned, it could be so serious.
In his opinion, Li He was just a dismissed commander. How could he still have such energy?
"If you act now, you know what it means. We are sure to capture the island, but what happens after that?"
"The supply line has not been successfully constructed, and we will be short of supplies, which will put us in a very passive situation."
Drew held up his hands and stared at the stubborn old man.
"General, you should understand that this is our last chance."
"If I am arrested, then we will lose the biggest advantage in Tasmani. At that time, it will affect not only me, but also the entire French plan."
"All the time and energy we spent in Australia will be in vain!"
"You should know what a serious price this is, for which you will stand on the judgment stand of France!"
Horn looked at Drew calmly.
After this outburst, Drew also calmed down a lot. Horn was the general in charge of this operation, and the power of action was in his hands.
He is a sharp-headed soldier and is inferior to General Horn in terms of status.
This time, General Horn should be in charge.
After thinking of this, Drew calmed down a lot.
General Horn lit a cigar. He had to think about what Drew had just said.
Indeed, as Drew said, if Drew is captured, they will lose a huge advantage in Tasmania.
Drew holds the economic lifeline of the island and controls almost everything on the island.
He controlled the port, and after the war broke out, Drew was even able to temporarily keep Xie Fang from knowing that the war had broken out.
That's what he's capable of.
If he is arrested, the next action plan will be seriously hindered.
Even paralyzing the entire action plan.
This was the reality that Horn had to face. After thinking of this, he took a deep breath.
"I need to get in touch with the French soldiers on the island as soon as possible."
"Drew, you're responsible for this."
Hearing these two words, Drew felt happy. He looked at Horn's face, which was frighteningly calm.
"Yes, General, I will contact the French soldiers on the island immediately."
Horn lit the cigar again, and he said as if he was talking about a trivial matter: "Once the action starts, Drew, you know what you need to do."
"This is a sudden action. Many things were not prepared in time. I need you to conceal the outbreak of the war for at least forty-eight hours."
"At least during this period of time, the Longyan Army on the island will not receive support from mainland Australia."
Hearing these words, Drew's face suddenly became heavy.
Hiding news of the war for forty-eight hours was an impossible task.
"Drew, you should know that this must be done. The war is too hasty. We need these forty-eight hours to complete the basic deployment."
"Otherwise, our plan will still fail as soon as the battle begins. You should know the result."
Drew nodded heavily: "I will complete this task, absolutely."
