Chapter 563: Didn't expect it? (Update )
Ms. M practically lives in her office now, something she has only done before during the Cuban Rocket Crisis, the Prague Winter, and the Soviet invasion of the Forrest Gump.
The situation is so tense now. The Americans are putting pressure on Britain to transfer the sword to the United States, and Europe is also putting pressure on Britain to send the sword to the rebuilt Strasbourg research base.
Europe is easier to deal with, after all, it has been invaded by Shadow. As long as they express their distrust of them and refuse to send the swords over, they won't be able to say anything.
But the Americans are not so easy to fool.
By the way, the Royal Navy has just received intelligence that the Chinese aircraft carrier and the 9th Squadron of destroyers responsible for escort are passing through the Suez Canal.
Qu Jiuzhi, those Orientals are particularly good at giving very powerful things a bland name.
They actually called this unit a "detachment".
It is clearly a powerful fleet with eight first-class shield ships, eight first-class frigates and 16 second-class frigates. The number of ships has exceeded the total number of the Royal Navy.
The Chinese did not make any claims on the sword that had just been pulled out of the lake, but at this time, such a powerful fleet passing through the Suez Canal and heading towards Gibraltar would make anyone nervous.
Ms. M sighed.
When she was a little girl, although the Royal Navy could no longer rule the waves, it at least shared the world's oceans with the United States Navy.
At that time, the Royal Navy's colonial fleet, composed of mass-produced colonial cruisers, could easily crush the main navies of most countries.
Now, the mass-produced ships, which are classified by the Chinese as second-class frigates and perform tasks similar to those of the Royal Navy's colonial cruisers in the past, are now armed to compete with the Royal Navy's main battleships.
The Chinese have already produced dozens of these ships, with dozens more under construction on the slipways.
As for their main battleships, the Royal Navy could only sigh in despair.
The electromagnetic main gun alone is not something the Royal Navy can afford.
——Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west.
Ms. M was just sighing when the phone on the table rang.
"Ms. M, I think you should take a look at this."
"Send it to my tablet." Ms. M put down the phone, picked up his Warwick tablet, and clicked on the video that just popped up.
The video was shot with a handheld device and shows a woman surrounded by flames that seem to have life, holding a long sword, standing in a field and looking in the direction of the cameraman.
Ms. M picked up the phone she had just put down and asked, "Have you found the location of the person who posted the video?"
"It has been confirmed that the special forces team is rushing to the scene."
"Where's the drone?"
"We are still in contact with the Air Force, but our agents are operating Dajiang's commercial drone to the scene. We will be able to get real-time footage of the scene in a few minutes."
"What does the analysis team think of the video?" Ms. M continued to ask.
The other side also responded fluently: "They think this person is Shelley, and the sword she holds is very similar to the ancient long sword we found in Loch Ness."
"Our sword was stolen?" Ms. M frowned.
"No, the manor said the sword is still safely stored in the vault."
"Get them into the vault right now to check! I want to make sure the sword is there!"
"Yes. By the way, here comes the real-time footage from the scene."
Without waiting for Ms. M’s instructions, the images were sent to her tablet.
This is a bird's-eye view from a drone.
At this time, Shelley raised his head and looked at the drone camera.
"How high is our drone?" Ms. M asked the person on the other end of the phone.
"One thousand one hundred meters. Given the size of the drone, it should be invisible to the naked eye from the ground."
“She saw it.” Ms. M said confidently, “She definitely saw the drone.”
As if responding to Ms. M's words, Shelley, who had been standing with a sword, moved, holding the sword in one hand and raising it high.
The next moment, the sword burst into dazzling light.
Ms. M heard the secretary on the other end of the line mutter, "Wang Defa?"
"Calm down, gentleman, you are a trained professional and you should not lose your composure when faced with something of this magnitude." Ms. M said calmly while staring at the screen.
The sword now looks like a burning torch, except that the flames of the torch are shaped like a long sword.
Shelley slashed his sword downward at the hill directly in front of him.
The hill suddenly exploded, and huge rocks and large amounts of soil were thrown into the sky.
Ms. M continued to calmly watch the screen, and at the same time gave an order to the other end of the phone: "Let the analysis team estimate the equivalent of the explosion. By the way, did the monitoring center detect any fluctuations?"
"Ma'am, no."
Ms. M was looking at the screen. At this moment, Shelley, who had put down his sword, raised his head again and looked in the direction of the drone camera.
——She is looking at me.
Ms. M suddenly had this idea.
—Why? What does she mean?
——Is this a provocation?
While Ms. M was lost in thought, Shelley turned around and walked towards the small bungalow behind him - that house should be a hunting lodge of some rich or noble person, and this kind of house would usually be idle when the owner was not there for vacation.
Ms. M watched Shelley enter the house and asked the person on the phone, "Have you confirmed the owner of the cottage?"
"Yes, Sir Isaac, playing golf at a golf course outside London right now."
"Go and get him. Rangers, surround the cabin immediately."
Despite this order, Ms. M did not think she could catch anyone in the cabin.
After a brief hesitation, she gave another order: "Send additional security forces to the manor."

In fact, Masha did not wait on the top of the castle all the time, because he found that the most convenient way to bury so many explosives was for him to do it himself.
So, after showing off to Shelley, he had to put on his tool man's crown, take a small pickaxe, and go to the place chosen by Shelley to dig a hole for the explosives.
He returned to the castle just before Shelley began his "performance".
——If you think about it carefully, it’s a bit too unfair for me to be a tycoon who stirs up the world. I have to do most of the dirty, hard and tiring work myself.
——I also want to just sit here, drink tea, fan myself leisurely, and deal with all the opponents.
——I don’t want to dig holes or move TNT!
Masha was just amusing himself when a fleet of helicopters appeared on the distant horizon.
--coming.
—Hehe, let me see where the reinforcements landed.
Masha picked up the telescope and stood up.
Then he discovered that the plane was flying towards the castle where he was staying.
--yeah?
Then he heard the sound of machinery running in the inner courtyard of the castle. Turning back, he saw that the roof of the main tower inside the castle was opening to both sides, revealing a helicopter landing platform.
--yeah?
----
There are still 7 hours left! I still have to struggle!
Chapter 564 Sword (Part )
——I am also limited by inertial thinking.
Masha thought.
He reached the top of the castle twice, and both times he went up directly through the door without using a cart because the cart could not climb stairs. He pinned his hopes of discovering the enemy's base on the enemy exposing themselves voluntarily.
So he didn't think of using the car to explore the castle under his butt first.
——This is a valuable lesson. All lessons are wealth. I will keep this wealth well.
Masha warned himself silently.
Although Masha acts recklessly all day long, he is actually very good at summarizing his own experiences and lessons. He has read a book on the history of science, and the author of the book said: In the process of scientific exploration, mistakes are also a kind of success.
Masha always uses this sentence to remind himself to seize this kind of "success" when he makes mistakes.
After a thorough self-criticism, Masha thought of another thing: It's strange, I neglected it, but did the British also neglect it?
——I was squatting on the roof of the castle for so long, didn’t they notice at all?
Thinking this, Masha began to look around for the camera.
At first he didn't find anything that looked like a camera, but suddenly he had an idea and bent down to check the eaves of the tower under his butt.
——The case is solved! This tower is the tallest, so the British installed all the optical cameras for air defense in the room at the top of the tower!
——They didn't expect me to run directly to the roof of the tower.
Marsa would open the door and go up to this tower directly because it is the highest point, and the British obviously think so too.
——Is there a hidden attribute of luck besides my strength, agility, constitution, perception, intelligence and charm? I should have extraordinary luck, right?
——Or is it that the "luck" that some people often talk about is real, and I am a person with great luck and good fortune?
Masha thought about it and felt that since the spiritual energy had revived, this was indeed a possibility.
Masha, a man of great luck, glanced at the League Secretary who was wrapped up as tightly as himself, opened the door and returned to the fairyland, then opened the door and came out of the nearby forest and summoned the little car.
——The joyful infiltration and reconnaissance begins!
Masha got in the car, hid in the shadow of the earth, and drove towards the castle.
Baiquan, who had just returned from the hunting lodge after completing a mission, pouted: "You are the only one who can see what is outside again! This is not fair, I want to play stealth too!"
"If you want to sneak in, you can only turn into a crow and look inside through the castle window. There's no point." Masha said, while operating the car into the castle.
As soon as he entered, he found the slope leading downwards, so he happily slid down the slope into the underground.
Below is a large parking lot with an attached unloading center. It seems that all supplies for the base are transported in from this ramp.
Masha went straight through the partition door between the unloading center and the cargo sorting center. After entering the sorting center, he thought he was going to fall down again, but surprisingly, the ground was the real ground.
——Could it be that the British had no money, so they didn’t build multi-story underground buildings, but just dug a single-plane underground structure?
——It’s very possible!
——After all, this is a “backward” country that is only now starting to install 4G in its subways!
——Their navy, because they can’t afford to fire live ammunition, has changed their live ammunition training to using their mouths to shout “bang” to simulate firing!
Shelley: "I know you must be complaining about Britain now."
"It's okay, Shelley," Masha temporarily turned his attention from reality back to the world in the car, "We will help you modernize it again."
"My Lord, the foreigners are here to build a railway for us." Chihiro shouted.
Baiquan: "Is Britain already so miserable?"
Shelley: "A country that can't even eat watermelon should stay out of this, right?"
"You talk as if you British people can eat watermelon as much as you want." Baiquan retorted.
Masha turned his attention back to the real world.
He was now driving forward without any obstruction. It seemed that the British had really built a flat structure at a depth of less than ten meters underground, which they used as a secret research institution.
"Shelley, didn't you say that this place has been built for decades?" Masha couldn't help but ask the British representative in the harem, "Why is this base only a single-floor building underground? Has the British Empire been...financially short of money for decades?"
"You don't know much about British history after the war. According to the conditions attached to our loan from the United States during the war, we ended the free trade system of the Commonwealth countries. Everything started from here. That's why the Labour Party destroyed the Royal Navy. There is really no money."
Baiquan: "That sounds miserable."
"The defeated nation shuts up."
"I'm going to say it!"
