With loud bangs, several brilliant fireworks suddenly exploded in the night.
fireworks!
These were fireworks to celebrate the ball... Then, one after another, fireworks began to bloom in the sky, accompanied by deafening sounds, turning the entire night sky into day.
Beautiful fireworks always attract people's attention. While people were enjoying the fireworks, more than a dozen trucks drove towards the Presidential Palace. Almost no one noticed the existence of these trucks. It was just an ordinary night.
Outside the Presidential Palace, several guards were on duty as usual, but what was different from usual was that they cast their eyes towards the night sky. They stood there looking up at the night sky, admiring the fireworks in the night sky. Everything was so beautiful.
However, what these guards didn't know was that danger had already arrived.
At the back door of the Presidential Palace, Xu Shaojie, holding a military dagger in his right hand, was moving very slowly. When he climbed over the back door wall, his movements were still very agile. The moment he landed, he noticed that the sentry was not at the sentry post, but in front of him. He had no time to wait for the team members and went straight to the sentry. The guy was admiring the fireworks in the sky with another sentry, but the next moment, his mouth was covered, and then Xu Shaojie stabbed his neck with a dagger, cutting his neck cleanly and neatly, and he fell to the ground and died.
The other sentry seemed to have heard the noise, but before he could even utter a word, Xu Shaojie had already pounced over and stabbed the sentry in the chest.
When everything was over, the other five team members - they were all retired soldiers from the Commando Corps. They participated in this mission as mercenaries and, of course, were the main force of the raid. Unlike the others, their faces were all painted with black camouflage paint.
"team leader……"
Everything seemed to be going better than they had planned.
"Open the door!"
As the back door opened, Ansuo and his men came in with Type 21 rifles. Unlike Xu Shaojie and his men who were calm and composed, they seemed a little nervous. After all, this was their first time participating in such a mission.
"We will proceed as planned. We will charge in directly. Peros, take your men to the guard room..."
Just as Xu Shaojie was deploying the mission, another scream was heard from the gate of the Presidential Palace a hundred meters away, followed by the sound of guns being pulled. It will probably never be clear which side fired the first shot.
The sound of gunfire coming from the Presidential Palace made Xu Shaojie stunned. He immediately took his gun and led his men towards the Presidential Palace. In front of him, several sentries were rushing out. He immediately picked up his rifle, and the flames from the rifle instantly tore the sentries in half.
Although the sentinels reacted quickly, they were still stunned by the sudden attack. Especially the attackers' powerful firepower did not give them much chance to fire from the beginning.
Xu Shaojie ran and fired his gun all the way, and he vaguely realized that his teammates were on his left and right, following him closely. As for those guys, they just kept shooting with their rifles, and whether they could hit the enemy was entirely based on luck. When they attacked the Presidential Palace, the detachment at the front door also attacked - it was a convertible with a machine gun mounted on the car. The machine gunner operated the machine gun, firing all the way, and rushed into the Presidential Palace. Many guards of the Presidential Palace fell under the powerful firepower of the machine gun just as they rushed out.
The scene inside the Presidential Palace at this time was horrific. The archway of the gate ran through the ground floor of the main building and led directly to the backyard. Under the light, the scene that came into view was horrific - corpses were everywhere on the ground. This scene made people feel as if they were in hell.
Looking at the corpse on the ground, Xu Shaojie rushed up without blinking.
"Block with machine guns, don't let anyone go..."
As he rushed in, he heard a scream of terror coming from the presidential palace. The next moment, before the machine gun fire began, he heard bursts of howling coming from the presidential palace.
At this time, the fireworks in the sky were still blooming, and the sound of fireworks continued, cutting through the night sky.
At least at this time, even the citizens of Quito who were enjoying the fireworks did not know what was happening in the presidential palace at this moment. Even those who heard the gunshots thought that the gunshots might just be the sound of firecrackers.
Fireworks and firecrackers, this seems to be nothing out of the ordinary.
Not only did the citizens not know what was going on, even President Xijon and the dignitaries in the dance hall were confused.
They had no idea what was going on, and their first reaction was that the guy wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to sweep them all together and take the stage himself.
That's right, the first thing they thought of was the military coup of their own people. The reason why they had such thoughts was that they had long been accustomed to all this. Not to mention their fathers, even more than a decade ago, military coups and the like were still emerging one after another.
Even now, when their interests are harmed, they will have such thoughts. Now that a military coup has occurred, they naturally think that it was done by "their own people."
"Krerepo!"
Luis Cordero Crespo spoke before Vice President Pedro José Ceballos finished his words.
"Pedro, I just have to wait a little over a year."
Crespo had no reason to do this. He only needed to wait another year to be "elected" as president, so why take the risk of doing such a thing? Similarly, the other local governors present had no reason, at least they had no reason to put themselves in it.
"That guy didn't come?"
"Yes, it must have been started by the guy who didn't come..."
Just as people were looking for the "culprit" and trying to figure out what was going on, the president's secretary hurried over and said to President Xijon.
"Mr. President, our contact with the outside world has been cut off. We can't get through on the phone. Major Lazo..."
The army led by Major Lazo was stationed in the military camp outside the city, and it was the only force they could rely on.
"If Russo knew what happened here, he would definitely lead his troops into the city."
Just as President Xijon finished speaking, there was a burst of rapid gunfire in the corridor outside the door, followed by an explosion, and then another burst of more rapid gunfire.
Instantly, everyone's expression changed slightly, "Yes, it's a machine gun... They actually brought a machine gun!"
With machine guns, the presidential palace guards were no match for the traitors. After all, the guards only had rifles and pistols, so how could they possibly resist the insurgents with machine guns?
In addition to being terrified, people were whispering to each other, wondering who was behind all this.
It seems that none of them have a reason to do this, but it also seems that each of them has a reason for doing it.
After all, power always fascinates people, who knows?
At this time they once again heard the president's words of comfort.
"Don't worry, the troops outside the city will arrive soon."
