C3143 Assassinated General (1/2)
General Prim never thought that the gardener, who had worked at his home for three years, would actually be an assassin!
The bullet hit the general in the back, and the pain sent Prim half kneeling on the ground. Two soldiers attacked the gardener from behind the railing, one blocking the muzzle and the other clutching the assassin's hair.
It was an aboriginal handgun that could only hold one bullet. The barrel was specially sawed, and because of it, it was very small, so it was able to escape the inspection of the guards and blend in with the toolbox.
The gardener was pressed down onto the iron barrier and his face became distorted, but he still shouted, ”Long live the Queen! Long live the Queen! ”
”Capture him alive... ”Intense interrogation …” This was Juan. The last sentence General Prim said before he fainted.
Juan. Prim was the most powerful man in Spain at the moment. His army was in control of the country's order, and his assassination had plunged the country into an irreparable situation.
Prim's ally, General Serrano, hadn't even had his first meal when he received the shocking news. The fork in his hand fell to the plate with a clatter. He was completely dumbfounded!
”My God! Plum was assassinated? Damn it, Spain is finished, Spain is finished … ”
The new king had not ascended to the throne, there were many rebellions and military conflicts in the country, there were mass protests everywhere, the struggle between Prussia and France in the north was coming to an end, and the France, the traditional protector of the country, was finished.
At such a chaotic time, a war had broken out in the Philippines, and the Chinese were about to occupy the entire Luzon!
Looking around, where was the good news? But now Juan. How was he going to live now that Prim had been assassinated again?
Serrano rushed out of the house, not even taking a carriage, riding his horse to see his allies. His guards did not dare to be slow, and they gathered almost all the soldiers they could, a thousand of them to protect the general as he ran down the street.
No one knew if there was still an assassination attempt aimed at General Serrano. No one knew if there was really an assassin's identity, whether it was done by the royalist party or the Chinese, no one knew.
When the people of Madeira saw this scene, they were all dumbfounded. They all shut their doors and did not dare to linger on the streets, and just as General Serrano on horseback ordered for the city to be under martial law, they began to search for the remaining assassins.
By the time they reached the General Prim's official residence, it was already protected by more than two thousand regular soldiers.
Other than General Sano, more than twenty other government officials had also come. Everyone was waiting anxiously outside the General Prim's bedroom as they operated.
”How long has the operation been going on? An hour? You haven't taken out the bullet yet? ”
”What about the assassin's interrogation? Have you confessed? ”
”General, the doctor said the bullet got stuck in his spine and injured an important blood vessel. The operation is very dangerous … As for the assassins, they revealed their identities during the assassination. They are the remnants of royalist party who supported the Queen! ”
”Damn it!” How could that pig-like woman still be supported? What era is this, is there still so many stubborn royalist party s? ”
”Even if he is the king, the people will have to vote for him! Do you really think this is the Middle Ages? ”
At this moment, the bedroom door was pushed open, and a doctor dressed in blood-red walked out. The officials outside immediately surrounded him.
”Gentlemen, please be quiet and let the patient rest!”
”The operation went smoothly. The bullet has been taken out and the patient is currently unconscious …” However, the danger period has not passed yet. One is the risk of blood loss, and the other is the risk of infection! ”
