Chapter 65: Recruiting Talents 4

A calm night.

The dim moonlight shone down quietly, making the dark sea surface seem more mysterious and deep.

"Buzz, buzz."

A few subtle engine sounds came from afar, and these sounds were mixed in the waves, appearing and disappearing from time to time.

In the moonlight, you can see three speedboats passing quickly on the sea not far away. These speedboats are like ghosts on the sea. When they fly over the crest of the wave, even the front half of the boat body leaves the sea!

There are six black figures on each speedboat, wearing black combat uniforms without any logos, and black oil paint on their faces.

Suddenly, a big man on the leading speedboat raised his hand and made a gesture. The three speedboats turned off the engines one after another, and a group of people took up the paddles and paddled quickly.

After paddling 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 his left face looked a little hideous and creepy.

This scarred man is Otto Skorzeny, the man who is recognized by later generations as the founder of modern special forces. He has performed and completed many almost impossible tasks.

On September 12, 1943, he rescued Mussolini effortlessly. On October 15, 1944, he kidnapped the son of Hungarian Regent Admiral Horthy in Operation Mickey Mouse. The next day, he easily passed through the Hungarian army's defense line to capture Hungarian Regent Admiral Horthy. In December 1944, he formed the 150th Armored Brigade to participate in the Battle of the Bulge. The troops disguised as American soldiers caused some chaos in the rear of the US military. In May 1945, they surrendered to the US military under the wanted order and escaped from the prisoner-of-war camp in July 1948. He became a legal businessman in Spain and died in Madrid in 1975 at the age of 67.

He is simply a real-life version of "Captain Germany", which also earned him nicknames such as "Europe's No. 1 Villain" and "Scarface Star".

Because of Yannick's interference, Skorzeny's life has also changed. A few years ago, he was recruited by Yannick and established a special forces KSK directly under the emperor.

Tonight is their first action, and the target is the luxury private yacht in front. In his opinion, this is a small test without any difficulty. After all, the yacht is anchored there, and they only need to board the ship quietly.

Under the cover of the night, three assault boats approached the yacht silently. One person stood up on each assault boat and picked up the prepared rope throwing gun, aiming at the railing of the yacht and pulling the trigger.

Snap! Snap! Snap!

The thrown grappling hook accurately hooked the railing. Although the grappling hook was entangled and did not jump, the collision sound of the grappling hook and the metal railing still attracted the security guards patrolling not far away.

"???" The security guard who came over to investigate saw the thing hooked on the railing. The first thing that flashed in his mind was that they encountered pirates!

Since the emergence of the profession of sailing, pirates have also been born.

They robbed cargo ships, killed crew members, and did all kinds of evil. However, after hundreds of years of development, pirates have become a respected profession. In many cartoons and novels, pirates are actually a belief.

However, with the development of technology, in the 20th century, the profession of pirates was almost unsuccessful.

The reason is very simple. Pirates need to build ships. In the past, wooden ships could be made by hand, so they could be pirates by finding a small island. But now, under industrialization, only a large shipyard can build advanced pirate ships.

Although I didn't understand why there were pirates here, who else would be so sneaky besides pirates.

"..." 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 body of the security guard behind, Skorzeny ordered the team members who had all climbed up. "Act according to the plan. Group one will go to the bottom cabin, group two will go to the cockpit, and group three will follow me to find the target person."

The group was divided into three groups and moved quickly towards their respective destinations. Each of them held an MP41 submachine gun with a silencer in their hands, and from time to time they would spit out long flames and shoot all the enemies they encountered to the ground.

Scorzeny successfully came to the rest area, where there were three bedrooms. A team member holding a hammer was about to smash the door lock, when one of the bedroom doors suddenly opened, and a little boy about seven or eight years old with a sleepy face walked out.

Scorzeny quickly stepped forward to cover the little boy's mouth, and the two team members behind him rushed into the bedroom swiftly, and after a careful search, they shook their heads at Skorzeny.

Scorzeny let go of his hand, but the little boy seemed to be scared and dumb, with a dull face and no sound or movement.

A team member next to him whispered with some concern. "Captain, isn't this target number three? Are they scared out of their wits? The order is to bring them back safely."

"..." Skorzeny smacked his lips and slapped the little boy on the head. The little boy trembled as if he had been electrocuted, and cried loudly, instantly echoing 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 guns standing at the door, and stepped back suddenly. Unexpectedly, he lost his balance and fell to the ground, trembling. "You, who are you?!"

Skorzeny made a few gestures, asking two people to take care of the last bedroom, and he stepped in. There was a middle-aged woman sleeping soundly on the bed in the room. Skorzeny saw that it was the second target, the wife of the middle-aged man.

Skorzeny reached out and helped the middle-aged man on the ground up. "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 that you are lying? But he didn't dare to say it out loud, and asked tremblingly. "You, who are you and what do you want to do?"

Skorzeny smiled slightly, but this smile moved the scar on his face, which made Richard William shudder. "We are the German Crown Prince, and His Royal Highness Yannick sent us to take you to Germany as a guest." As they spoke, two team members brought a little girl in her teens 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 shook her awake desperately.

The middle-aged woman who woke up was shocked to see so many ferocious 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 German crown prince? Why does he want to see me? I don't know him?"

Skorzeny shrugged and didn't hide it. "Of course it's because of your profession." Just now I 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" aircraft engine!

As for how awesome the Merlin aircraft engine is, as the best aircraft engine during World War II, it not only made the Mustang, but also was the common heart of dozens of Allied aircraft in World War II, such as the Spitfire fighter, the Mosquito fighter-bomber, and even the Lancaster heavy bomber. In the UK alone, 50 improved models were produced, with a total of about 150,000 units, not including the approximately 50,000 units allocated to the Mustang. Later, Spitfire fighters equipped with the Merlin improved Gripen engine could even catch up with the V-1 missile and knock it down.

Yannick spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to grasp Richard William's whereabouts this time, and immediately sent his most capable general to bring him back to Germany.

"Your Highness promised that as long as Mr. William was willing to go to Germany, his family would receive the highest treatment and would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. However, His Highness also said that if Mr. William was stubborn, his family would only return to the sea."

Looking at Richard William, whose face became extremely ugly, Skorzeny said coldly. "How have you considered it? Mr. William, the lives of your family are all in your hands."

Looking at his wife and children who were trembling in his arms, Richard William looked desperate. "If I agree, I will be a traitor and it will be sooner or later that I will be hunted down!"

Scorzeny said with a relaxed look. "You can rest assured. We will blow up this ship and no one will know how you disappeared. When you arrive in Germany, His Highness will change your name and surname, your identity will be classified as top secret, and you will be equipped with a group of guards to ensure the absolute safety of you and your family. You can think of it this way. If we can't guarantee your life, who will dare to come to us in the future?"

Richard William opened his mouth but hesitated. He hesitated for a long time and sighed deeply. "It seems that your country's crown prince has made thorough preparations." He walked up to his wife and children, comforted them, changed clothes, and the family followed Skorzeny to leave the yacht.

They were greeted by a submarine, and just as Skorzeny said, once everyone was aboard the submarine fired two torpedoes at the yacht and slowly dived amid the sound of explosions on the yacht.
