Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

"There are a total of 3000 'Destroyer 3' combat robots in this secret base."

As he spoke, the contact, codenamed "Loach," handed a miniature controller to Yu Hesong.

"Brother Feng specifically instructed that Brother He would be in full charge of this robot army."

"This controller can directly issue any command to these Destroyer 3 combat robots."

Then, Mudfish handed Yu Hesong a USB drive as well: "This contains the plan for the machine offensive."

"Brother Hai, I need to tell you about the specific operational plan for the entire assassination mission separately."

"This was specifically instructed by Brother Feng."

"Brother Hai, this way please............"

“Okay!” Ma Zhihai nodded and followed the contact to a separate room on the side.

-------------------------------------

"You just said that Brother Feng has prepared more than one trump card for this assassination operation?"

"Besides these 3000 'Destroyer 3' combat robots, what other tricks do they have up their sleeves?"

"As the person in charge of this assassination operation, shouldn't I be aware of these details?"

"Of course." The contact nodded with a smile, then inserted a USB drive into the optical computer host.

"Brother Hai, here are the detailed steps of the entire assassination plan."

"As instructed by Brother Feng—Brother Song's side is responsible for the feint attack."

"You are responsible for delivering the fatal blow to the target!"

"We've got the floor plan for the Imperial Hotel ready."

"In addition to these 3000 'Destroyer 3' combat robots."

"The biggest trump card in this operation is that we have an inside man inside the Imperial Hotel!"

"At that time, these inside agents will be responsible for security at the event site."

"With these people acting as inside agents, our chances of success have increased significantly!"

"What?" Ma Zhihai exclaimed in surprise, "We have an inside man at the Imperial Hotel?"

"Are you still in charge of on-site event support?"

Ma Zhihai stared at the contact in disbelief: "How is this possible...?"

"All personnel at the Imperial Hotel have been personally registered and vetted by the Interstellar Intelligence Agency!"

"The vetting process employed by the staff at the Empire Hotel can only be described as 'abnormal'..."

"It would be no exaggeration to say that it would be extremely difficult to place an internal device in the Imperial Hotel."

How did the organization do that?

"Is there something fishy going on here?"

Ma Zhihai then followed up with, "As far as I know, the Imperial Hotel is an officially designated hotel for business purposes."

"The actual controller is the Interstellar Intelligence Agency."

"In other words—all the staff at the Imperial Hotel are actually agents of the Interstellar Intelligence Agency!"

"Before each employee joins the company, they will undergo a deep hypnotic loyalty test."

"Anything that is even slightly substandard will be eliminated."

"With such rigorous scrutiny, are you sure we have an inside man in the Imperial Hotel?"

"Could this be a trap?"

Ma Zhihai asked again and again, utterly shocked.

"Don't worry, Hai-ge!"

The contact smiled and said, "Our inside man at the Imperial Hotel is absolutely foolproof."

"Because we had already replaced these spies without anyone noticing."

"The item was switched?"

"What's the meaning?"

"These informants are all clones that we replaced!"

The contact said to Ma Zhihai with a smug look on his face, "However, these clones, apart from having the memories of the original, are also..."

“We also implanted new conscious imprints.”

"So, in other words, these inside agents will immediately activate a new role after receiving the wake-up command."

"From the moment they were cloned, they were branded with absolute loyalty to the organization!"

"Therefore, their loyalty is absolutely reliable!"

"It seems that Brother Feng's plans are indeed far-sighted..."

Suppressing his shock, Ma Zhihai feigned admiration: "They can even do something like this..."

"No wonder Brother Feng doesn't drink much in any situation; he always drinks only a little."

"So you're worried that drinking too much will cause you to reveal secrets you shouldn't..."

"I've been following Brother Feng for so many years, and I didn't know a thing about these arrangements."

"Crazy Bro is really good at keeping his composure..."

"correct."

As he spoke, Ma Zhihai looked at the contact person in front of him and said, "You guys should also be directly responsible to Brother Feng, right?"

"As Brother Feng's right-hand man, I had no idea that people like you even existed in the organization..."

“That’s right. Long before the Black Army was established, we were already infiltrating the capital under Brother Feng’s orders.”

"I usually only take responsibility for Brother Feng."

"All matters are handled secretly, directly through contact with Brother Feng..."

"However, this time our group is also under Hai Ge's unified command."

The contact smiled and said, "We have a special forces team of a hundred men."

"They are all top-notch 'hexagonal' warriors."

"it is good!"

"It seems that Brother Feng is determined to succeed in this operation."

"So, are we just going to stay here and wait for the operation to begin?"

"If you would like to observe the surroundings of the Imperial Hotel before taking action, we can arrange that as well."

"Really?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Zhihai was immediately delighted: "It would be even better if we could go and check out the surrounding environment of the Imperial Hotel before the official operation."

"Okay! When would you like to go, Hai-ge?"

"The sooner the better." Ma Zhihai said without hesitation, "There's no time to lose, we need to be quick right now!"

"Then let me arrange for you to have something to eat first, and we'll go right away after you've finished eating?"

"no need."

Ma Zhihai shook his head: "Let's take a look around the Imperial Hotel."

"If you're hungry, just grab something to eat around there."

"Alright! I'll accompany you myself."

The contact, Mudfish, said, "It's actually not good if too many people go to this kind of thing."

"Yes! That's right."

Suppressing his joy, Ma Zhihai nodded calmly and said, "Just the two of us will go. Safety is our top priority."

Being able to go out and personally "scout out" the location, with only Mudfish accompanying him, gave Ma Zhihai the opportunity to pass on information to the outside world.

Given the right opportunity, Ma Zhihai could find a way to inform the Interstellar Intelligence Agency of the Black Army's assassination plan.

-------------------------------------

after an hour.

Disguised, Ma Zhihai and Mudfish arrived near the Imperial Hotel.

The two sat down at an open-air cafe.

"The nearest police station is just one street away from the Empire Hotel."

"To be precise, it's less than 500 meters."

Mudfish whispered to Ma Zhihai, "There is a clock tower opposite the Imperial Hotel."

"That's an excellent sniping position."

"However, that clock tower has long been turned into a secret guard post of the Interstellar Intelligence Agency."

"The security level is increased whenever there is a major event."

“For any event attended by His Highness the Crown Prince, all high-risk locations around the Imperial Hotel will certainly be pre-positioned.”

"Therefore, long-range sniping is definitely not feasible."

"Next to the Imperial Hotel is the military police station."

"In the event of any emergency, the military police and the nearby police station can come to provide support immediately."

While sipping his coffee, Ma Zhihai observed the surrounding environment: "Even without the military police and the public security bureau, there will be no shortage of security personnel on the day of the event."

"The security forces, both overt and covert, protecting His Highness the Crown Prince will certainly surround the entire Imperial Hotel in layers upon layers..."

"Therefore, the 3000-strong fighting machine army led by Brother Song became the biggest weapon to restrain the defending forces!"

"Not only that, but before we launch our operation, someone will set fires all over the capital to create chaos and distract the capital's security forces."

Mudfish's gaze flickered in the direction of the Imperial Hotel, a glint of cunning flashing in his eyes: "We have an inside man among the Imperial Hotel's security personnel..."

"At that time, they will all cooperate with our actions."

"This time, in order to successfully assassinate His Highness the Crown Prince, Brother Feng has used every trump card he has!"

"So—if we fail this time, wouldn't we be letting down the entire Black-Clad Army...?"

Ma Zhihai joked on purpose.

"As long as nothing goes wrong internally..."

Mudfish said with a serious expression, "There is almost no chance of failure in this operation!"

"Everyone in the Black Army knows that you are Brother Crazy's most trusted and capable lieutenant."

"For the success of this mission, Brother Feng even sent you here."

"With Brother Hai personally overseeing things, I feel there's even less chance of failure this mission!"

"Wow!"

"You're quite the smooth talker..."

Ma Zhihai smiled and said, "No wonder you were chosen by Brother Feng to infiltrate the capital."

"My role as his right-hand man is merely nominal..."

"If we're talking about true right-hand men, then it's definitely you direct subordinates!"

"If it weren't for this operation, I wouldn't have known that our Black-Clad Army had so many trump cards up our sleeves in the capital..."

“Brother Hai is joking,” Mudfish interjected. “We’re all working for Brother Feng.”

"It's just a difference in roles..."

"Just a joke."

Ma Zhiyuan joked, "You can't even tell that?"

"I have no complaints about Brother Feng."

"If Brother Feng asks about it, you won't tell on me, will you?"

"How could that be! Brother Hai!"

Mudskipper immediately said in a serious voice, "Who in the entire Black Army doesn't know that Brother Crazy trusts you the most, Brother Hai!"

"I would never dare to speak ill of you in front of Brother Feng..."

"It's an honor for all of us to be able to carry out this mission with Brother Hai!"

"Alright, stop flattering me."

Ma Zhihai smiled and shook his head: "Have you finished drinking?"

As he spoke, Ma Zhihai glanced at the half-full cup of coffee still in Niqiu's cup: "Don't waste it..."

"Hurry up and finish it. After you're done, let's go take another look over there."

"Okay!" Upon hearing this, Mudskipper immediately picked up his coffee and was about to gulp it down.

"Hello.............."

"Drink slowly, there's no need to chug it like that."

"Look around at everyone drinking coffee, none of them are chugging it like you..."

Ma Zhihai then offered a reminder.

"It really is Brother Hai..."

Mudfish scratched his head: "Brother Hai still has a better grasp of these details."

"No wonder Hai-ge has always managed to escape unscathed from every mission over the years..."

"Oh? You know about the mission I was on?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Zhihai's heart sank: "You even know about this kind of thing?"

It turns out that, according to the Black Army's regulations, all operations are kept absolutely secret except for those involved and the high-ranking officers who issue the orders.

Therefore, Mudskipper's words just now made Ma Zhihai's heart skip a beat.

"That's not it..."

"It's just that I've always heard Brother Feng mention Brother Hai's amazing deeds."

Mudfish then explained in a low voice, "You don't know—Brother Crazy has mentioned you a lot in front of us."

“Every time Brother Hai is mentioned, Brother Feng speaks highly of him.”

"We all regard you, Brother Hai, as a role model..."

"Crazy Brother has said more than once—if it weren't for Brother Hai, our Black-Clad Army wouldn't be in this situation today..."

"Wow! Is this true?"

Ma Zhihai looked doubtful: "Did Brother Feng really say that?"

"You're not exaggerating in front of me again, are you?"

"Crazy Brother has never said anything like that to me..."

"It's true! That's really what Crazy Bro told us..."

"I swear!"

"Don't take it so seriously, relax." Ma Zhihai smiled and said, "I was just joking with you."

"Finished drinking?"

Seeing that the other person's coffee was almost empty, Ma Zhihai immediately pressed a banknote under the coffee cup.

"Let's go, coffee's on me."

"You'll have to treat us to dinner later....................."
