Chapter 65: Recruiting Talents 4
A calm night.
The dim moonlight shone quietly, making the dark sea appear even more mysterious and deep.
"Buzz, buzz."
There were several subtle engine sounds in the distance. These sounds were mixed in with the waves and appeared and disappeared.
Through the moonlight, you can see three assault boats paddling quickly on the sea not far away. These assault boats are like ghosts on the sea. When they fly over the top of the waves, even the front half of the boat is gone. Out of the sea!
There are six black figures on each assault boat, wearing black combat uniforms without any logo, and their faces are painted with black paint.
Suddenly, a big man on the leading assault boat raised his hand and made a gesture. The three assault boats turned off their engines one after another, and the group picked up the oars and started paddling quickly.
After rowing for a while, the big man shouted in a low voice. "Two hundred meters ahead, take your positions." His eyes were full of confidence and determination, and the scar across the left side of his face looked a bit ferocious.
This scarface is none other than Otto Skorzeny, a man recognized by later generations as the founder of modern special forces. Performed and completed many nearly impossible tasks.
On September 12, 1943, he effortlessly rescued Mussolini. On October 15, 1944, he kidnapped the son of Admiral Horthy, the Hungarian Regent, during Operation Mickey Mouse. He easily passed through the Hungarian army defense lines and captured him the next day. Admiral Horthy, the Regent of Hungary, organized the 150th Armored Brigade to participate in the Battle of the Ardennes in December 1944. This unit disguised as the US military caused some chaos in the rear of the US military. In May 1945, he surrendered to the US military under wanted orders and Escaped from prisoner of war camp in July 1948. He lived in Spain and became a legal businessman. He died in Madrid in 1975 at the age of 67.
It can be called the real-life version of "Captain Germany", which also earned him nicknames such as "Europe's No. 1 Villain" and "Scarface".
Because of Yannik's intervention, Skorzeny's life has also been changed. A few years ago, he was taken under Yannik's command early and established a special forces KSK directly under the emperor.
Tonight is their first action, and their target is the luxury private yacht in front of them. In his opinion, this was a small test without difficulty. After all, the yacht was moored there, and they only needed to board the ship quietly.
Under the cover of darkness, three assault boats quietly approached the yacht. A person stood up on each assault boat, picked up the rope-throwing gun that had been prepared, pointed it at the railing of the yacht and pulled the trigger.
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
The grappling hook that was thrown up accurately caught the railing. Although the grappling hook was wrapped around and would not jump, the sound of the grappling hook colliding with the metal railing still attracted the security guards patrolling not far away.
"??" When the security guard who came over to see what was hooked on the railing saw clearly, the first thing that flashed in his mind was that they had encountered pirates!
Since the emergence of the profession of navigation, pirates have also been born.
They rob cargo ships, kill crew members, and do all kinds of evil. However, after hundreds of years of development, piracy has become a respectable profession. In many cartoons and novels, piracy is actually a kind of belief. .
However, with the development of technology, in the 20th century, the profession of piracy almost had no successors.
The reason is very simple. Pirates need to build ships. In the past, wooden ships could be made by hand, so you could become a pirate by finding a small island. But now, with industrialization, there is only one large shipyard. Only then can we create advanced pirate ships.
Although I didn't understand why there were pirates here, who else besides pirates could be so sneaky.
"..." Just as he was about to open his mouth to issue a warning, he felt a pain in his neck, and then heard a crisp sound, and his eyes fell into darkness.
Leaving the security guard's body behind, Skorzeny ordered to all the team members who had climbed up. "According to the plan, one group will go to the bottom cabin, the second group will go to the cockpit, and the third group will follow me to find the target person."
The group of people was divided into three groups and marched quickly towards their respective destinations. Each of them held an MP41 submachine gun with a silencer in their hands. From time to time, they would spit out long tongues of fire, shooting all the enemies they encountered. Fall to the ground.
Skorzeny made his way smoothly to the sitting area, which contained three bedrooms. Just as a team member with a hammer was about to break the door lock, one of the bedroom doors suddenly opened, and a little boy of about seven or eight years old with a sleepy look came out.
Skorzeny quickly stepped forward and covered the little boy's mouth. The two team members behind him quickly rushed into the bedroom, searched carefully and then shook their heads at Skorzeny.
Skorzeny let go of his hand, but the little boy seemed to be frightened and remained silent and motionless.
A team member next to him whispered worriedly. "Captain, isn't this target No. 3? Isn't he scared to death? The order is to bring them back safe and sound."
"..." Skorzeny smacked his lips and lightly slapped the little boy on the head. The little boy trembled as if he was electrocuted, and let out a loud cry that instantly echoed in the rest area.
"Harry, what's going on?" A few seconds later, the bedroom door opened and a middle-aged man in pajamas walked out.
"!!" The middle-aged man saw several strong men with loaded guns standing at the door, and he suddenly stepped back. Unexpectedly, his feet were unsteady and he fell to the ground, trembling. "You, who are you?!"
Skorzeny made a few gestures and asked two people to take care of the last bedroom, while he stepped in. There was also a middle-aged woman sleeping soundly on the bed in the room. Skorzeny knew that that was the second target, the middle-aged man's wife.
Skorzeny stretched out his hand to help the middle-aged man on the ground. "Designer Richard William? Don't be afraid. We have no ill intentions and will not harm you and your family."
The middle-aged man's expression clearly said you were a liar? But he didn't dare to say these words, so he asked tremblingly. "You, who are you and what are you doing?"
Skorzeny smiled slightly, but this smile affected the scar on his face, which made Richard William tremble. "We are the Crown Prince of Germany, sent by His Highness Yannick to take you to Germany as a guest." As they spoke, the two team members brought a teenage girl into the room. "Captain, target number four has also been found."
The little girl ran to the middle-aged woman's bed with a panicked look on her face and tried her best to shake her awake.
The middle-aged woman who woke up was shocked to see so many vicious strangers in the house, and she couldn't help but scream hysterically.
After hearing the origins of these people, Richard William's face was full of confusion. "The Crown Prince of Germany? What does he want from me? I don't know him?"
Skorzeny shrugged and made no secret of it. "Of course it's because of your profession." I just said that Richard William is a designer, so what kind of designer is he?
He is the chief designer of the British Empire's Rolls-Royce "Merlin" aero engine!
As for how awesome the "Merlin" aero engine is, as the best aero engine during World War II, it not only made the Mustang, but also the "Spitfire" fighter, "Mosquito" fighter-bomber and even the "Lancaster" heavy bomber The common heart of dozens of World War II Allied aircraft, 50 improved models were produced in the UK alone, with a total of about 150,000 units, not including the approximately 50,000 units allocated to the Mustang, and later jets equipped with Merlin's improved Gripen engines. Fire fighters can even catch up with V-1 missiles and knock them down.
Yannick spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to grasp the whereabouts of Richard William, and immediately sent the most capable officers to bring him back to Germany.
"His Highness promised that as long as Mr. William is willing to go to Germany, the Mr. and his family will receive the highest treatment and have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. However, His Highness also said that if Mr. William is stubborn, the Mr. and his family will have no choice but to die in the sea."
Looking at Richard William, whose face turned extremely ugly, Skorzeny said coldly. "How are you considering it? Mr. William, your family's lives depend on your thoughts."
Looking at his trembling wife and children, Richard William looked desperate. "If I agree, then I will be a traitor and I will be hunted down sooner or later!"
Skorzeny said with a relaxed expression. "You can rest assured that we will blow up the ship and no one will know how you disappeared. When you arrive in Germany, His Highness will change your names, your identity will be listed as top secret, and you will be equipped with equipment. A group of guards will ensure the absolute safety of you and your family. You can think of it this way, if we can't guarantee your husband's life, then who else will dare to come to us in the future? "
Richard William opened his mouth but hesitated, hesitated for a long time, and sighed deeply. "It seems that His Excellency the Crown Prince of your country has made all preparations." He walked to his wife and children, comforted them, changed his clothes, and the family followed Skorzeny and left the yacht.
What greeted them was a submarine. As Skorzeny said, when everyone entered, the submarine fired two torpedoes at the yacht and slowly dived amidst the explosion of the yacht.
