Extraordinary Rise: Starting Contract with the Silver Dragon Countess

Chapter 236: Special Operations, Move Out!
Faria sat in the office and waited for a long time, but still no one from the Intelligence Bureau came. He was slightly surprised and said to the guard beside him:

"Go ask the gatekeeper. Aren't the intelligence officers here already? Why haven't they come in yet? Is there something wrong?"

The guard bowed slightly and walked out.

Not long after the guards left the house, Faria heard a deafening roar coming from outside the building.

Faria suddenly stood up with disbelief in his eyes. He was very familiar with this sound, it was the sound of a magic crossbow.

This is a standard weapon that only the military is equipped with, a magic crossbow!
Each strike is equivalent to a strike from a third-order transcendent, and is an absolutely heavy weapon. In the entire Yinshuang, only the elite troops in the major war zones, as well as the Chief Police Department, Special Warfare Department, and Grand Duke's Guards are equipped with this equipment.

Why is there the sound of crossbows in Froststar City?

Prime Minister Faria didn't think about his own people at first. He was wondering if Effiin had come to kill him?
impossible!

This is the capital of the Silver Frost heartland. It is absolutely impossible for Aifein's army to attack quietly.

Faria was still in shock from the sound of the magic crossbow when suddenly, the guard who had just left rushed in panic, his face pale, and exclaimed:

"Sir, sir, something bad has happened! The army is attacking the National Guidance Committee building!"

In addition to Chairman Faria, most of the standing members of the Council of Nobles were in the office of the National Steering Committee. When they heard the guards' exclamation, they all stood up, with the same shock on their faces.

Faria was horrified and asked in disbelief:
"Where did this army come from? Are they Shepard's rebels?"

The guard shook his head and said:

"The attack outside is too fierce, I can't see clearly, but there is at least one regiment, a black mass of several thousand people!"

Faria's face showed astonishment and solemnity. He couldn't understand why such a large military force suddenly appeared in Frost Star City to attack the National Command Committee building.

Before he could figure it out, a middle-aged military officer with a solemn and murderous aura rushed in. He was the commander of the Third Guard Regiment of the Chief Police Department guarding the National Command Committee Building.

The moment the Third Guard Regiment's commander spoke, a storm of excitement erupted in the office:
"Those who attacked the building were from the 9th Regiment of the Chief Police!"

The 9th Corps of the First Police Superintendent!

Faria couldn't help but say:
"The 9th Corps?

How can it be?

Why would the Chief Superintendent's army attack the core of this country's political power?"

Aren’t the people on guard outside also the Chief Inspector’s men? Why are they fighting against each other?
The commander of the Third Guard Regiment shook his head:

“I don’t know the specifics, but the opponent’s attack was extremely fierce and clearly carefully planned and prepared.

Mr. Chairman, I now strongly suspect that this is a premeditated coup!"

Faria's face looked extremely ugly. He took a deep breath, gradually calmed himself down, turned on the special communication stone, and contacted the Chief Police Commander Koch.

Koch had not returned home in the past few days and had been staying at the Martial Law Department. After receiving Faria's message, he was also extremely shocked:
"Are you sure it's Dickinson from the 9th Regiment?"

"Confirmed, a soldier has spotted Dickinson's adjutant."

Koch immediately asked the communicator to contact the headquarters of the 9th Corps, but no one answered.

A staff officer nearby said:
"Commander, could this be a...coup?
Dickinson definitely wouldn't have the guts to attack the National Guidance Committee headquarters for no reason. He must have received promises or benefits from higher-ups."

Koch's facial muscles twitched slightly, and he quickly thought of something. He glanced at everyone in the war room and asked:
"Where's Deputy Commander Jose?"

Everyone looked at each other in shock, but no one answered.

Koch took a deep breath, reconnected with Faria, and said:

"Commissioner, we can't contact the 9th Corps here. Dickinson is disobeying military orders and dispatching without authorization!

My suggestion is to send troops immediately to suppress them.

I suspect this is a premeditated coup, and a decision must be made soon!"

Faria certainly meant the same thing and immediately replied:

"Okay General, you may give the order now!"

After saying that, Koch quickly gave orders, ordering the headquarters' guard regiment and the fifth and sixth infantry regiments to immediately enter a state of mobilization and set off ten minutes later to rush to the support of the National Command Committee building.

At the Army Military Police Headquarters, the coup team is keeping a close eye on developments.

Soon, the CIA controlled by Akdimon sent intelligence that Koch had sent troops to suppress Dickinson's 9th Corps.

The war room was suddenly filled with noise, and the Ministry of Defense's Quartermaster General Chambers' voice was filled with astonishment:

"They reacted so quickly, sending troops to suppress it so decisively?"

Cohen's voice rang out:
"It seems that this Chief of Police is much more capable than the Army Chief of Staff."

He looked at everyone and asked:

"Hey guys, among the commanders of the troops Koch transferred, are there any graduates of the Army Academy?"

Several people fell into reminiscence, and soon Commander Jose spoke:
“The commanders of the 5th and 6th Infantry Regiments are both veterans who graduated from the Army Academy, but they don’t interact much.

We just met.

The entire direct security regiment, from top to bottom, is composed of Koch's classmates at the National University's War Command College, so there are no acquaintances."

In Yin Shuang's military faction, in addition to those from the Army Academy, the majority are top students from the National Defense University's Operations Command Department.

Cohen said:

“Contact these two group leaders and tell them to delay for a while.

It won't take long. As long as we can hold out until General Redinolz and his men get the signature of the Grand Duke's legitimate son, we can gain legal power!"

At this time, a field army commander from the Silver Frost Northwest Military Region spoke up:
"The commander of the 5th Infantry Regiment is from the same hometown as me. I've taken care of him before, so I'll do his job."

Jose said:

"Then leave the Sixth Corps to me."

The two men acted quickly and directly used the CIA's dedicated communication network to contact the commanders of the Fifth and Sixth Corps of the First Police Department.

The commander of the Northwest Military Region contacted the commander of the Fifth Corps and spoke in his native dialect:
"Little punk, it's me. How are you doing recently?"

The commander of the Fifth Corps heard the familiar voice and immediately became serious. He replied:
"Senior, why are you here? Have you come to Frost Star?"

The commander chuckled and said:

“Little scoundrel, I was your company commander when you were new recruits.

I don’t know if what I say now will have any effect.”

The commander of the Fifth Corps was puzzled, not understanding why an elder from his hometown would suddenly call him in the middle of the night, but he quickly replied:
"Senior, I've always remembered your care for me. Please let me know if you have any instructions."

Army Commander:

"Then I won't waste any more time talking nonsense. Didn't your commander just give you an emergency mobilization order, targeting the National Command Committee building?"

The commander of the Fifth Corps was suddenly shocked. How did the commander of the field army, who was thousands of miles away, get to know such top-secret military intelligence?

"Senior, what do you mean by this?"

The commander's voice remained calm and unhurried:
"If I, an old senior, still have some respect in your eyes, please postpone the execution of this order for two hours."

The commander of the Fifth Corps immediately fell into a state of intense thought, his voice becoming much more tense:
"Senior, can you tell me the reason?"

Army Commander:

"Your Chief Police Commander has misjudged the situation. You can go investigate. The National Command Committee is currently being guarded by your Chief Police Commander's colleague, the Ninth Corps.

He ordered you to attack your own brothers. Don't you think this is a strange order?"

Commander of the Fifth Corps:

"Senior, the orders I received indicate that Colonel Dickinson, commander of the Ninth Regiment, led his troops in mutiny and is besieging the Chairman and the nobles. Commander Koch then ordered the rebellion to be suppressed."

The commander raised his voice and his tone suddenly became stern:
"Can you tell who is rebelling and who is suppressing the rebellion?

Was your Fifth Legion’s salary for last month paid on time?
General!

I've taken care of you for so many years, and you're not even willing to give me two hours of your time! "

The Fifth Corps' commander's expression became uncertain. He tightly gripped the communication stone and hesitated for a long time before speaking with difficulty:
"Senior, one hour at most. I can only give you one hour.

Please also understand that Commander Koch has also been very kind to me!"

"Okay, one hour then!"

The commander hung up the phone, and a burst of warm cheers suddenly rang out in the coup command room.

Next is the Sixth Corps. Jose contacted the commander of the Sixth Corps.

Jose asked in a deep voice:

"Captain Lauren, is that you? It's me, Jose."

Captain Lauren immediately replied:

"Commander, I'm Lauren."

Jose's tone was extremely strong:
"Did Commander Koch give you an emergency dispatch order?"

Lauren was stunned for a moment and replied:

"Commander, aren't you at the Martial Law Headquarters?"

Jose raised his voice:
"Lauren, you and I are both from the Army, so I'm going to be frank with you. Tonight is the critical moment to choose our side!
The assassination of the Archduke created a power vacuum in the country, and the Prime Minister had no foundation in the military.

National affairs are all in the hands of the military, do you understand?"

Colonel Laurent, commander of the Sixth Corps, shuddered and asked in disbelief:
"Commander, what are you talking about?"

Jose roared:
"Are you still pretending to understand when you don't?

Why did Koch send you to suppress the 9th Corps? Don't you know that Colonel Dickinson of the 9th Corps is also from our Army Corps?

Dickinson was supposed to go to the National Guidance Committee building tonight to change guard, so why was he inexplicably labeled a traitor?

Lauren!

Koch was eliminating dissidents and using the assassination of the Archduke to eliminate the influence of our Lu Shi faction.

Tonight will be the night when the National University faction launches a full-scale siege on our Army and Military faction!

Do you want to be their accomplice?"

At this time, the Defense Quartermaster General Chambers also spoke up and said in a deep voice:

"Lauren, this is DoD Chambers."

Hearing the voice, Lauren trembled and immediately replied:

"Senior, why are you here too?"

Chambers said stiffly:

"I can't just stand by and watch our own people kill each other!

To tell you the truth, after the death of Army Chief of Staff Claude, I have already investigated and dealt with all the military salaries he embezzled. I had planned to pay the brothers the salary they were owed for last month.

However, when the materials were sent to the Minister of Defense, he suppressed them, saying that he would discuss it with Commander Koch before making a decision.
What do you mean by decide after discussion? The Minister of Defense is Koch’s senior classmate at NUS!
It is clear that the National Congress faction wants to take advantage of the national unrest to seize power in their own hands.

If we don't resist, we will all become lambs to be slaughtered!"

Captain Lauren, the commander of the Sixth Corps, felt his scalp tingling. He had unknowingly fallen into such a huge vortex.

Lauren unbuttoned her collar, her voice becoming much hoarse:
"Commander, what should I do now?"

Jose's face was slightly happy, and he immediately said:
"Mobilize your troops, but don't move out. Wait two hours!"

"Okay, Commander, please keep me informed of the latest situation!"

"it is good!"

An excited voice was heard again in the command center.

Jose breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Cohen:
"Two main infantry regiments have been temporarily pinned down, as well as a direct guard regiment.

It will probably take less than 30 minutes to get to the National Steering Committee building."

Cohen asked:
"How long will it take Dickinson to capture the building?"

Jose replied:
"An optimistic estimate would be about two hours."

Windsardler asked from the side:
"Why is it taking so long? Didn't that Military Police Inspector already get him the defense map of the building?"

Jose bowed slightly and said softly:
“The interior of the Noble Parliament Building is equipped with comprehensive defense facilities. The Parliament Building is just a name. It is actually a cluster of buildings covering an area of more than 100,000 square meters, with a total construction area of 500,000 square meters.

If it weren't for the detailed defense map, Dickinson's troops alone might not have been able to capture the city."

Cohen said:

"Two hours is too long. We must send reinforcements, and we must also find a way to stop this direct security regiment."

Everyone turned their attention to Jose.

He currently has three infantry divisions, a mage regiment, and a knight regiment available for deployment.

Moreover, he has recently transferred them to the vicinity of various core state agencies.

Jose said in a deep voice:

"The combat effectiveness of the direct-affiliated guard regiment is extraordinary, approaching 'conventional level'.

To stop them completely, an entire infantry division must be sent.

But once a division-level unit is dispatched, the commotion it causes will definitely be quite significant.

The other party will soon know that I was involved in the coup, and then Faria and his men may directly mobilize the Special Warfare Division to join in."

The Special Warfare Division, composed entirely of "conventional-level" troops, is Faria's last trump card and will not be used easily.

But if Faria, Koch and others were sure that the person plotting the coup was a lieutenant general with a large number of armed forces in the capital, they would definitely play this trump card.

Once the Special Operations Department gets involved, the situation will immediately escalate.

The entire Frost Star City will be engulfed in war in an instant.

After a brief thought, Cohen gave the order directly:

“We are not afraid of the situation escalating, what we need to do now is to be faster than the other side.

General Redinoz and his men have already gone to the Grand Duke's Palace to get the warrant. Time waits for no one, and a quick victory is necessary.

General Jose, send one infantry division to rescue Dickinson, and one infantry division to intercept the direct guard regiment.

The rest of the troops will march towards the Special Warfare Division headquarters!"

After hearing Cohen's order, everyone felt a sense of solemnity.

Things have come to this point, so we have no choice but to use any means necessary!
Jose quickly followed Cohen's orders and began to mobilize his trusted troops.

……

Inside the National Steering Committee building, the sound of the attack outside was still incessant and rumbling.

All the standing committee members who remained in the building, including some cabinet ministers and members of the Council of Nobles, gathered in the office of Chairman Faria.

At this time, this is the safest place.

Someone asked:

"Chairman, what's the situation?

Have you figured out who is behind this?

The counter-insurgency troops have not arrived yet.”

Facing the uneasy looks of the crowd, Faria shook his head:
“The specific situation is still unclear, but don’t worry. The building was built according to the highest level of military fortress. A single infantry regiment cannot break in within a short period of time.

In addition, Commander Koch has already dispatched three security regiments to provide immediate assistance, and the crisis will soon be resolved."

A minister sighed:
"These are truly turbulent times. First, the Grand Duke was assassinated, then the Western Region Empire refused to mediate, and now even the troops of the Capital Garrison Command have begun to mutiny.

What happened to our Yinshuang?"

Everyone's mood suddenly dimmed. All signs showed that Yin Shuang was on the verge of extinction.

Time passed minute by minute, and suddenly, a deafening roar sounded from afar, and then an emergency call from Commander Koch of the Martial Law Department came from the communications office of the National Command Committee.

Faria answered the call, and Commander Koch's angry voice came from the other end:

“It’s Jose!

It was the Deputy Chief of Police, General Jose, who sent troops to besiege the National Command Committee!

He has even mobilized the mobile forces of two infantry divisions. The direct guard regiment I sent to quell the rebellion has been stopped by one of the infantry divisions.

Now another infantry division is heading towards the building!"

Commander Koch's voice immediately caused a storm of discussion in Faria's office.

The deputy commander of the first police station, who has a large military force in the capital Froststar City, has rebelled!

This news made everyone feel shocked and frightened.

Faria's face turned pale. He grabbed the communication stone and asked loudly:

"This bastard, do you know who else is involved in the rebellion?

How dare he do that with just a deputy commander?"

Koch:

"He is the only one involved at the moment, and I am not sure if he has other accomplices.

Chairman, we must now ask General Mendes to send troops.

Send out the special forces to quickly suppress the rebellious army, otherwise if the stalemate continues, the entire Frost Star City will be destroyed!"

Faria only thought for a few seconds and immediately gave the order:
"Okay, Commander Koch, I authorize you to immediately contact Special Warfare Commander Mendez and have him dispatch the Special Forces to quell the rebellion."

"Yes!"

The call reached a secret facility located in the northwest suburbs of Frost Star City. Receiving the order, Mendes didn't hesitate. He consulted his adjutant, looked at the battle map, and immediately gave the order:
"Have a special forces unit, Roman, dispatch immediately to the National Command Committee building to quell the rebellion."

At the headquarters of the First Special Operations Regiment, Roman looked at the order sent from the communications office and casually threw it to the ground. He swept his eyes over the officers in front of him, drew his sword, and said coldly:

"Special Operations, move out!
Target... the Grand Duke's Palace!"

"Yes!"

As time passed, the situation in the city changed rapidly.

The Chief Police Superintendent's direct security regiment met Jose's infantry division directly on the street. The two armies belonged to the same battle sequence an hour ago, but now they had to confront each other with real swords and guns.

The grassroots soldiers on both sides found this unacceptable.

The commander of the infantry division shouted towards the opposite side:

"Retreat, we are all comrades, why kill each other?"

The commander of the direct security regiment was also filled with rage, and shouted in a trembling voice:
“Why did you attack the National Guidance Committee building? Are you trying to stage a coup?

What orders did Commander Jose give you?

The teacher replied angrily:

“We should ask what Chief Koch is doing?
Captain Dickinson was clearly following normal procedures to change guard, so why was he accused of treason by Commander Koch?

The head of the security regiment was taken aback, gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice:

"We are soldiers. Soldiers should not be involved in politics. Get out of the way!"

The commander sneered:
"To put it bluntly, it's the National University faction's complete liquidation of our Lu Shi faction!
Our Commander Koch is planning to use the assassination of the Archduke to eliminate dissidents!

If I get out of the way, I'll be the next one to be labeled a traitor!"

The commander of the security regiment's expression turned extremely ugly. To be honest, he didn't know how true the other party's words were.

He now also has some doubts about Commander Koch's motives. After all, no matter from which perspective, the possibility of a deputy commander launching a coup is too low.

Could it be that what the other party said was true, and that his superiors really wanted to launch a crackdown on the Lu Shi faction?

The head of the group shook his head and suppressed his guess. As Koch's closest confidant, he must resolutely implement all of Koch's instructions.

Since we can't get the job done, we have no choice but to resort to force.

There was no room for maneuver, and the two sides immediately started fighting!

……

On the streets of Frost Star City, under the leadership of Roman, the special forces that had been mobilized long ago were marching at an extremely fast speed.

They soon arrived near the Grand Duke's Palace, and after meeting up with Redinolz and other military seniors, they launched a direct attack on the palace!
The Grand Duke's Guards who were originally guarding the palace were temporarily relieved of their duties not long ago because of Sheppard and were transferred to the gendarmerie headquarters for centralized management.

Therefore, the troops guarding the Grand Duke's Palace are also the Chief Superintendent's troops, which are two independent brigades under Koch.

Although they are loyal enough, their combat effectiveness is definitely not as good as that of the "regular-level" Royal Guards, and they are also not as good as the special operations forces under Roman.

The attack signal was given, and the entire Grand Duke's Palace was immediately thrown into terror.

Immediately afterwards, a surge of momentum rose from the ground.

The Grand Duke's legendary personal guard, Valan, was shocked and angry:

"Army Military Police Inspector!

There are also the Third Field Army, the commander of the Southeast Military Region, and the president of the Army Officer Academy...

There are also people from the Special Warfare Department!
You...what do you want to do, rebel?"

Before he finished speaking, another legendary aura burst out.

Prince Hauge faced Varan again, and the two started a shocking showdown!
