C2574 Target Appearance (2/2)
”The target has finally appeared!” He adjusted the small mirror in his hand and began to send out signals to the back. Very soon, all the spies in the line became extremely nervous!
At the most tense moment, a steam engine whizzed out of the jungle with a loud noise! The leading spy was just about to release the signal that the target appeared, but he ended up forcefully suppressing his own hand.
”Dammit! He's not the target! The target didn't appear! It's a wooden train!”
It really was a train of wagons. The wagons were filled with huge pieces of wood, and like a long dragon, they passed through the mountain valleys and headed straight for the railway bridge.
It was just a false alarm. The spies watched as the train crossed the railway bridge. Only then did they realize that their backs were covered in cold sweat!
Assassinating a country's leader was an extremely exciting mission. How many spies in this world could be lucky enough to perform such an important mission?
If they really succeeded in the assassination, then these spies would be able to live a life without worrying about anything else, and they would become the national hero of the France!
How could he not be nervous? The spy hiding in the treetop secretly wiped the cold sweat on his hand on the tree trunk and said, ”God bless, God bless, let the target appear!”
What was to come would eventually come, and as the assassins watched a wooden train and a coal train whizzing past, the third steam locomotive finally revealed its target.
A special train with the Prussian National Emblem painted on it was rushing over from the south. It was the newest type of locomotive, full of power, and the white smoke it breathed out was abnormally pure. It did not have the black and gray color of an ordinary train.
These were hand-picked coals, and you couldn't find any impurities. These coals were fierce, hot, and could quickly increase the pressure on the boiler.
Furthermore, due to the lack of impurities, burning coal like this was beneficial to the maintenance of the train's boiler. It was not a special train from the kingdom, so it did not have the qualifications to burn such good coal!
The best locomotives were equipped with the best quality coal, and they only had five carriages left. Other than the kingdom's special train, it was impossible to have such a special train!
”The target has appeared, the target has appeared. Prepare to act!”
The hearts of all the spies rose to their throats. They knew if they would be eating meat or drinking soup for the rest of their lives, it would all depend on this one!
The steel dragon was completely unaware of the danger as it continued to rush towards the north. The disguised pathfinder's face was currently flushed red, and a strange look flashed in his eyes!
He looked at the red painted pine tree at the south end of the railway line. That was his signal to wave the red flag, which would be waved as soon as the train approached the pine tree.
”It's here, it's finally here!” His eyes were fixed on the red-painted pine tree and the steam engine with the Prussian national emblem on it!
The train finally passed by the signal tree. Without any hesitation, the French spy waved the red flag with all his might!
