Chapter 1792: The Assassination Plan

At this time, Australia.

Tasmania.

Li He was framed by Delu and had his official position as Commander of Tasmania stripped away by Xie Fang.

Now he is idle at home, and as for his brothers, they were also implicated and all dismissed from their posts.

In Xie Fang's view, this result was already showing mercy to Li He, but for Delu, it was far from enough.

As long as Li He and his men are still alive, they are a threat.

Li He has not given up on investigating Delu; although he was dismissed, he still possesses a large amount of evidence.

Although there is no one left on Tasmania now to hinder Delu, and the entire island is currently under his control.

Yet the evidence in Li He's hands still makes Delu feel fear.

This concerns France's grand plan, and there absolutely cannot be any mistakes.

Li He must die, but their plan must not be exposed; that is the key.

He found General Huo En to discuss this matter with him.

Now, French troops have arrived on the island one after another, but it is still somewhat difficult to clash with the Longyan garrison on the island.

Moreover, once the war begins, they need to maintain their supply lines well.

The supply lines rely on sea transport, and France does not yet fully control the security of these coastlines.

If they act rashly and someone notices something, then this operation plan will very likely collapse completely.

He would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen.

"General Huo En, I would like to ask the soldiers under your command to assassinate someone," Delu said, his left hand placed in front of him, his body slightly bowed, with extreme respect.

General Huo En sat in the room and lit a cigar.

He glanced at Huo En, took a puff of the cigar, exhaled smoke, withdrew his gaze, and said in a neither cold nor indifferent tone: "How is it that the task given to you has not been completed yet?"

"Is there still anyone on this island who can threaten us?"

Delu did not mind General Huo En's attitude and said in a deep voice: "Yes."

"Li He is not dead, and he is still investigating us."

"He may already possess some evidence in his hands; although he was dismissed, I am still uneasy. After all, Xie Fang is a sentimental person."

"Perhaps at some point he will restore Li He to his post, or perhaps at some point he might obtain the evidence in Li He's hands."

"Our supply lines are not yet fully constructed, if"

"they were constructed, none of this would be a problem."

"Therefore, I am worried..."

Huo En took the cigar from his mouth, no longer looking at the respectful Delu, and snorted coldly: "I told you long ago that Li He cannot be kept; we should have killed him. At the time, I wanted to have my men do it, and now you know to come and beg me."

Delu expressed his apologies and said again: "This matter is my mistake; I did not expect Xie Fang to be so merciful."

"General, we have reached a critical period now, and I hope to receive your help."

General Huo En extinguished the cigar, stood up to look at Delu, who was still bent over, gave him a cold look, and said indifferently: "He will die; he will die silently in his home."

General Huo En left.

Having received this reply, Delu breathed a sigh of relief.

General Huo En has an assassination unit under his command that has now arrived on Tasmania, and with their help,

Li He must die this time.

As long as Li He is dead, their plan will be safe.

That night.

At Li He's residence.

To ensure safety, Li He had already transferred all his family members to the Australian mainland.

They would be very safe there.

Ever since he was dismissed by Xie Fang, Li He knew that losing his position as Commander of Tasmania would surely become very dangerous.

Delu would not let him go.

To take precautions early, Li He also gathered his brothers at his home.

This was to prevent any accidents.

Regarding such an arrangement, his brothers accepted it readily; after all, Li He is no longer a commander, and his status now is merely that of an ordinary person.

Delu is a businessman, but in reality, he has already controlled the entire island; if the slightest accident occurs, they will be doomed.

They knew Delu would not let them go.

But they did not expect this day to come so quickly.

In the dead of night, General Huo En's assassination unit infiltrated Li He's residence.

Because they had been prepared for a long time, Li He knew immediately that outsiders had entered his residence.

"Someone is here!"

"Shh, be quiet, let's see what they are going to do."

Everyone was alert; without their positions as commanders, their service pistols had also been confiscated, and now they were all holding blades.

In the dark of night, Huo En's assassination unit crept into the master bedroom.

Raising their hands to strike with a blade, they intended to put the Li He"

on the bed to death.

But the blade stabbed into the quilt, and no blood spilled out.

Just at this moment, Li He struck out from the shadows.

The two groups fought together, and by relying on the surprise attack, Li He and his men took out many of the assassination unit members.

However, Li He and the others only held cold weapons in their hands; they had no Muskets. Read the full content on the Aiyue app.

These people had Muskets in their hands.

At such a close distance, being hit by a Musket would definitely mean death.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After a series of gunshots, some people fell into pools of blood, while others were still alive.

The sound of gunfire alerted the patrolling Dragon Flame Army, who had always stepped up patrols around Li He's residence.

The reason was none other than the fact that Li He was once their Commander.

Although he had been dismissed, they still considered Li He to be their Commander.

Therefore, upon hearing the gunshots, the Dragon Flame Army immediately became alert and rushed to Li He's home at the fastest speed.

At this moment, lamps were lit inside Li He's residence, looking at the corpses all over the ground.

Li He looked at the sky with vacant eyes; beside him lay the corpse of his brother.

Xiaolaizi was dead.

The others were also dead.

The assassination unit had long since left.

"General, rest assured, we will definitely avenge our captain!"

Li He looked at the arriving Dragon Flame Army and shook his head, his eyes filled with fury.

The death of his brothers made him even more determined.

"No, I will take revenge with my own hands. Investigate, find out who was behind the raid tonight!"

"Yes!"

The Dragon Flame Army was filled with fury, not knowing which bastard dared to kill their own people.

If they found them, they would absolutely kill this person completely!

They must not let this person go.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the French unit that failed the assassination escaped back.

"General, the operation failed; the other side was prepared long ago!"

Upon hearing this, Huo En stood up abruptly, the chair behind him jolting in surprise.

"What?"

"Failed?"

He simply could not believe his ears; this unit was an elite force he had spent so much time and energy building, specifically for carrying out assassinations.

They had executed many special missions and had never failed once, but this time they had actually failed.

General Huo En looked at the remnants of the assassination unit that had escaped back; ten people had been dispatched this time.

But only seven had escaped back.

"The other side even killed three of your men!"
