General Tengtu Hok leads German soldiers in a brisk rush toward it, their helmets and rifles filling the crossing with tension.

Hok's Sweep: Soldiers Race the Walkway

The footbridge functions as the immediate tactical objective and structural chokepoint: the approaching sweep is directed toward it, and its narrowness concentrates movement and exposes anyone attempting to cross to the soldiers' control and observation.

Before: Intact and spanning the moat, an obvious single-route connector between palace and museum, currently unoccupied.

After: Remains intact but becomes the focused defensive point ahead of the advancing column; effectively controlled by the approaching security sweep.
