The Third Reich: The Return of the King

Simlin was indeed watching the battle closely from outside.

He originally thought that since Starlin had already decided to assassinate Popolov and Liuannov, they should be very sure of it.

However, when the people sent by Starlin began to act, he immediately overturned this view in his mind.

“These guys don’t seem to be familiar with how to carry out assassinations. Their actions look very amateurish!”

Using infrared night vision binoculars, Simlin could clearly see the situation on the battlefield from a tall building in the distance.

“Captain, will this group of people fail?”

The subordinate asked curiously.

According to Captain Simlin’s previous statement, the Empire seemed to be very happy to see Popolov and Liuannov killed. If this is the case, then now that Starlin’s operation has encountered a setback, the lives of these two people may be saved. In this case, is this outcome not good for the Empire?

“There is a possibility of failure, but Starling is a madman. If he knew that the assassination would not go smoothly, he might turn the assassination into a murder!”

“You mean, they’re going to send out the army?”

“Well, let the people in the east be alert and closely monitor the movements of the troops loyal to Starlin. Once they enter the city, we will retreat immediately!”

Simlin was determined not to take action this time. If the other party wanted to fight, let them fight. This matter had little to do with the empire, and he did not intend to get too involved.

According to the plan of the head of Mainz, he originally planned to encircle Starlin in the Kazan area.

But later, considering that he had to leave an external threat to the Russian bear, he decided to keep Starlin. And in order to check and balance the Russian bear, Starlin’s power cannot be weakened too much, so he plans to provoke conflicts between Starlin and the local factions in the Kazan area.

The reason why he agreed to Popolov and Liuannov was The purpose of getting people to surrender is to let them deal with Starlin.

With Starlin’s character, he will definitely take action decisively after realizing the danger. At that time, the Kazan area will inevitably experience a catastrophe, and the Russian industry in the Ural region will also suffer a heavy blow.

The remaining industrial equipment that has not been destroyed will also be taken to Siberia and the Far East by Starlin. The industrial zone that the Russian bear has built in the Ural region with huge manpower and material resources will be completely destroyed.

And this is the situation Mainz hopes to see.

A half-dead Russian bear is a good Russian bear. Bear!

The Russian bears have such a large territory and such rich resources. If they are given strong industrial capacity, they will sooner or later pose a threat to the empire.

Therefore, weaken their industrial strength, then provoke their civil war, consume a large amount of their weapons inventory, and then force them to purchase weapons from the empire.

In this way, the empire’s control over them will become more solid, and this opportunity can also allow them to help the empire mine those minerals that are located in remote areas, have harsh environments, and are very expensive.

When they are developed, the empire only needs to pay a small price, or directly use military equipment to exchange with them.

Moreover, without industry, the economic development of the Russian bears will definitely not be able to climb up. At that time, the living standards of the Russian bears will definitely lag behind Western Europe, and even behind the Eastern European regions controlled by the empire, which originally belonged to the Russian bears.

In this way, the empire’s plan to suck blood from the Russian bears can be achieved. Therefore

, the civil strife in the Kazan region is what the empire wants to see. It’s better to be in chaos. If it’s not in chaos, it’s boring!

“However, before we retreat, we have to help Popolov and the others!”

“Captain, how can we help them?”

The subordinate who was about to arrange the retreat was immediately confused when he heard his words.

Simlin put down the telescope. He had seen Liuanov disguised himself and quietly left Popolov’s residence.

This made him smile!

The other party left at this time, not to escape, but to ask for help!

And the only ones who can save them are the troops in their own hands in the Kazan area!

Thinking of this, Simlin ordered:

“Tell the people below to keep an eye on Liuanov and escort him to the army. Before he mobilizes the troops, Starlin’s people must not kill him!”

“”Yes, Captain!”

The subordinate immediately went down to make arrangements.

However, it was not enough to just ask Liuanov to ask for reinforcements. If the other party was fast enough and the reinforcements came early, Popolov might survive.

And his survival was not a good thing for the empire. On the contrary, his death would be more valuable!

So Simlin walked to the sniper position next to him and made a killing gesture to the sniper.

The sniper nodded and put the Soviet soldier who was hiding in the sentry post and firing with a machine gun in Popolov’s residence into the target. Star!

Bang!

The sniper rifle modified from the Mauser 98 rifle made a loud noise, and a 7.92mm bullet streaked across the night sky, flew 550 meters in the air, and accurately hit the machine gunner’s head. The machine gun that was firing seemed to be stuck and stopped abruptly!

The assassins who were suppressed by the machine gun fire outside and unable to move saw this situation, and their morale was immediately boosted. They shouted and rushed into Popolov’s residence!

Seeing this scene, Simlin was relieved.

“This time, Popolov should be dead!”

As long as he dies, and Starlin’s army comes again, then Starlin’s use of the army to kill Popolov will be confirmed!

Once this matter is confirmed, it is like putting a shit pot on Starlin’s head, and he can’t take it off!

When Liuannov comes with reinforcements and sees that Starlin killed Popolov, the Soviet army in the Kazan area will definitely fight with Starlin’s troops.

At that time, the war will spread, and the whole of Kazan will be destroyed in the war, and their goal can also be achieved in the war!

“Let’s go, there is nothing for us to do here anymore!”

Simlin patted the sniper and observer on the shoulders, and retreated with his men.
