    "This Englishman Martin is the leader of the Crimson Tide troops?" Lin Rui felt a little strange, "But I remember that the leader of the Crimson Tide troops should be the Red Baron."

    "You are right to say that. The Red Baron is the direct leader of the Crimson Tide Force, and it can also be said that this force is directly under him. But this Martin is actually the founder of the Crimson Tide Force. Moreover, he is directly responsible to the Red Baron  ." Aladdin said slowly, "Have you ever heard of the Ghost of John Bull?"

    "What?" Lin Rui was a little confused.

    "The Spirit of John Bull is the title of a commando unit, a force with a long and glorious history. The Spirit of John Bull is usually used to describe a pure British man with a high nose and a typical adventurer temperament.

    This British commando force was founded in June 1940 and has a lot to do with the famous Dunkirk evacuation in history.  It was the early days of World War II, before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the United States had not yet entered the war.  In the face of the powerful German offensive, the British and French allied forces were passively beaten at every turn, retreating steadily, and were finally forced to the coast of Dunkirk, France.

    The coalition forces unconditionally requisitioned all vehicles that could be used to ferry people, from large warships to small fishing boats, yachts, and sampans, and tried their best to cross the English Channel and evacuate to the British mainland.  Later statistics showed that a total of 338,000 people arrived in the UK safely.

    But in British military circles, there is a famous saying: The best defense is offense.

    With the financial, material, and manpower of the British at that time, it was not allowed to defend and be beaten, and it was not conducive to improving morale.  A timely, small-scale attack can not only reduce the pressure on defense, but also encourage soldiers and citizens to get out of the shadow of failure as soon as possible and continue fighting.  Soon, the British War Department proposed a plan: to conduct irregular surprise attacks on the German army's long front from Norway to France to strike and deter the German army.

    Soon, the headquarters approved the establishment of a new agency within the Army Department to be responsible for this activity, with Lieutenant Colonel Clark as the person in charge.  Soon, a specific raid plan was drawn up, and the sources and selection methods of the team members, as well as the types of weapons used, were also decided.

    Team members are recruited from veterans who are engaged in service in the Army and Navy Reserves. Supporters must undergo strict review before they can become official members.  The weapons equipped include pistols, Liefeld rifles, American-made submachine guns, grenades, daggers, as well as some military motorcycles and light armored vehicles.  If necessary, they can get help from the navy and use small boats to cross the water for sneak attacks.

    In order to distinguish it from other troops, people gave it a suitable name: commando.

    Under the leadership of some outstanding officers, the commandos are undergoing arduous training.  Training subjects such as personal combat skills, the use of daggers, knives, and thin wires, hand-to-hand combat, loading and detonation methods of explosives, rock climbing, and escape after being captured, were conducted from morning to night, regardless of wind or rain, and never stopped.  Hard training created steel-like warriors. As the number of sorties increased, the name of the commando made the German army tremble with fear.

    In the subsequent Allied counteroffensive operations in Europe, this commando team was present in a series of landing operations such as Salerno, Sicily, and Normandy.  They charged forward, fought bravely and skillfully, and successfully completed tasks again and again.  Many commandos fought until the victorious end of World War II.  They were a truly special operations force during World War II.

    To this day, the British Commandos remain an elite force of Her Majesty the Queen.  "Aladdin said slowly.

    "The British commandos, I know them. But what does this have to do with Martin?" Lin Rui frowned.

    "Martin's grandfather was once the colonel commander of this force. Old Martin joined the commando force as an officer and served as a lieutenant colonel for 20 years. He was also an honorary colonel of the 7th Light Infantry Regiment. British aristocrats have a tradition of martial arts -  ¡ªWhether it is the eldest son or the second son, parents like to send their sons to the army for training. Therefore, their families have been in the army for generations.

    The same goes for the current Martin. He is the 12th Baronet and served in the British Special Air Service Regiment.  On the surface he appears to be an energetic philanthropist.  Many fundraising evenings were held on the estate to benefit charities of the Masonic choice.  He held many roles in local business, community, wildlife organizations, charities, was Honorary Vice-President of the British Red Cross, and was awarded the Queen's Medal of Honor for distinguished service to the country at the highest level.

    But in fact, he joined the secret society very early and single-handedly selected and trained the initial Crimson Tide troops.  It can be said that he was once the founder of the Crimson Tide Force.  And it can be said that he is the most radical and loyal person in the secret society.  I admire their career immensely.  ¡± Aladdin explained.

    "It seems that people with prominent status are indeed difficult to deal with. There are many intricate relationships that make CIA find it difficult." Lin Rui nodded.

    ? ?Manchester was a pioneer in the Industrial Revolution.  Nowadays, it has long been far away from the "steam and sweat" years, but has entered the youthful period of dressing up fashionably and partying everywhere for fun.  The main culture of this city is pop music and football.

    In order to avoid attention, Lin Rui and others chose the area surrounded by Charlotte Street, Portland Street, Oxford Street and Mosley Street.  Manchester's Chinatown is the largest Chinatown in the UK and the most concentrated Chinese community in the north of the UK.  Chinatown grew out of the redevelopment of the area's cotton warehouses in the 1970s.

    They will continue to collect and wait for intelligence here and plan an assassination operation.

    Linda¡¯s information was delivered only one day later than them.  Martin, the target of their assassination, is currently at Field Manor.  This is a traditional old manor house.  In terms of architecture, there are obvious examples of the various styles of post-medieval England, such as the architecture and interior decoration styles of the Regency and Victorian eras, which can be found in this building.

    After inheriting his father¡¯s title, the 12th Baron Martin began to repair the manor.  The manor is in the Victorian style, which is quite rare in Britain. Baron Martin spent 5 years overhauling it, renovating the silk damask wall panels, curtains and trim in strict accordance with the style of the 1850s.

    Currently, this private estate is also used as the headquarters of the Enoch Foundation.

    "It seems that this manor is the target's lair. It is not easy to penetrate into the manor to work. The security of this place is very tight. Although the target opens the castle, courtyard and gardens every summer, and holds various activities in the park, including  Concerts, country fairs, entertainment days and rallies. But in reality, security at the estate can be described as watertight.

    We have to sneak into the manor, which will take a lot of effort and is very risky.  Lin Rui said slowly.

    "Within one kilometer around the manor, there are various hidden sentries, and they are protected by nearly a hundred guards. At any time, all the soldiers in the manor are fully armed and alert to any movement around them. There are also various kinds of secret posts.  Various surveillance probes. The security personnel are composed of ordinary security guards, Martin's personal bodyguards, and special security members.

    Ordinary security guards wear white short-sleeved uniforms, black trousers, and black leather shoes.  The responsible areas are the terrace, the reception area, the entrance delivery area near the reception entrance, the private passage entrance of the north hall, the fourth floor entrance of the south hall, the roof of the reception area, and the security room on the second floor of the north hall.  The entrance to the lounge, the south delivery area, and its security room.  Equipped with p229 pistol.

    The bodyguard wore sunglasses, a black suit and leather shoes.  Responsible for the personal protection of targets and the safety of the team.  The responsible areas are around the target, around or near the team, the delivery area, the entrance from the third to fourth floors of the north wing, the target's office, the fifth floor, and the rooftop garden.  Equipped with P229 pistol and MP5 submachine gun.

    ?Special security members, wearing black tight-fitting tactical uniforms and tactical pants.  Responsible for the areas around and near the Enoch Foundation Building, mainly on the fifth and fourth floors.  It is initially suspected that these special security guards are the combat elites of the Crimson Tide.  Equipped with German P229 pistol and M4A1 assault rifle.  Members on the roof are equipped with American mk12 sniper rifles.

    Based on the information we have received so far, their security measures are quite strict.  The frequency of security personnel and patrols is not fixed, but it is tight.

    It is very difficult to sneak in and kill the target.  "The actuary frowned.

    "What about long-range sniping?" Eric asked.

    "The manor is very large and the distance is too far. Moreover, the dense vegetation around the entire manor is enough to block the view. There is basically no possibility of long-range sniping." Lin Rui shook his head.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
