The Rise of the European Emperor

"Hurry up and find out how many of the more than 60,000 disaster victims have served as soldiers!" Francois I ordered solemnly. Although he has no enmity with the North Sea country, he is also very wary of this big mercenary leader who once made the previous king of France ashamed. It would be unwise to send good soldiers to such a potential enemy.

Baron Bogur quickly sent someone to investigate, whether there will be any data in a while. And John Lafite is waiting on the ground. As a spy of the North Sea country, he actually already knows the data——Among the more than 60,000 disaster victims, more than 3,600 people have worked as mercenaries or aristocratic territories Conscripts.

Although he reminded that the more than 3,000 people with military experience would definitely be left behind, Beihai Kingdom would not feel sorry. Because, when the North Sea country selects soldiers, it actually deliberately does not choose those who have military experience. Because it is difficult to reform these people after they have acquired the habits of the old army. It is better to choose farmers who have no military experience for training.

Moreover, what Marin wants is only the labor force for farming, not the source of soldiers, and there is no need to select soldiers from the more than 60,000 French men. Besides, Marin is not at ease that these French have force, after all, they are not my race.

Therefore, deliberately asking John Lafite to raise this question this time can not only reassure France, but also reassure Marin. After all, it would be a lot of fun if these strong men with experience in the army had ideas they shouldn't have in the colony and took the lead in an uprising or something...

...

In the afternoon, data came from the minister in charge of civil affairs—out of the more than 60,000 disaster victims, 3,651 had participated in mercenaries or the army of aristocratic territories, and had war experience.

Francois I immediately ordered that these people be removed, and they were simply incorporated into the servant army of the French infantry, that is, the transport brigade responsible for escorting grain and grass or serving knights and lords.

Then, the next one is the one who is willing to give it to Marin. But everyone has been arguing for a long time about how to contact Marin.

In the end, François I made the decision—first, he designed to bankrupt the famous Parisian prodigal son, Baron Adair, and then sent someone to remind him to find a relationship to seek an official position. Then, the post of head of the temporary government agency that manages the disaster victims will fall to him.

At that time, send someone to contact him secretly, and he will send someone to contact Marin, agreeing to recruit the victims and ask for benefits...

Of course, François I will definitely not come forward in this matter, and there will be a trustworthy minister in charge of contacting Baron Adair to make him handle this matter. Even if the money was taken, the minister took it and quietly gave it to Francois I.

In short, Francois I must get out of this matter. Even if someone talks about it later,

It can't get involved with Francois I...

Arranging this matter, today's meeting is over. And John Lafite also received a task - let the three "businessmen" "Giroud", "Trezeguet" and "Griezmann" receive lunch...

When he walked out of the meeting room of the palace, Baron Bogur said to John Lafite in a gloomy manner:

"Master John, why are you in such a hurry to get rid of the little guy 'Griezmann'? Don't you think he is very similar to the original you? I still expect him to grow into the second you..."

These words are both explicit and implicit, accusing John Lafite of being incompetent. A few other people also looked over, but most of them were watching John Laffey's jokes. After all, John Lafite was a very lucky minister, and he was not on the same side as them. Even Count Duert, who is also a lucky minister, is also a veteran French nobleman, which is different from John Rafi, an "outsider" from Germany.

John Lafite is a strictly trained spy, how could he be easily influenced? He looked at Baron Bogur with "clear" eyes and said:

"What are you talking about? Lord Bogul, we are all His Majesty's loyal subordinates, and everything is for His Majesty's sake. Would you like to see His Majesty's reputation be discredited because of the issue of leaking secrets?"

Having said all this, Baron Bogur could only walk away resentfully. After all, he is a diehard loyalist of the king, and the last thing he can do is to see the king's reputation damaged. I stabbed John Lafite just now, purely because I was a little unhappy with John Lafite in my heart, and I felt sorry for a smart young man who was about to die...

...

That night, John Lafite suddenly "fired" in a remote courtyard in Paris. Then, when the scorched ruins were cleared the next day, the charred bodies of 8 people, including 5 maids, were found. Among them, the three charred corpses looked very much like the three guests of Viscount John Laffey. Moreover, it was also found in their guest room...

As the king's confidant, Baron Bogur sent his capable men to investigate, mainly to confirm whether the three people were really dead.

And the person sent by Baron Bogur was the guard who accompanied him to the banquet last night. Although he didn't serve the table, he had seen those three people.

After returning, he reported to Baron Bogur:

"The corpses were all charred black, but according to their body shapes and heights, they all match up..."

But how did they know that from the very beginning, the Beihai State's spy department was fully prepared. Even the "stand-ins" of the three spies were found in the slums of Paris.

At this time, there were more than 100,000 people in Paris. The slums in the city are also home to a large number of poor and beggars. The spies of the North Sea State had already found three "stand-ins" who were about the same height and size as the spies.

On the night of the action, the three "stand-ins" were drunk and sent to the guest room where they were. Moreover, grease was specially applied to their faces. In this way, after the fire, because the oil is flammable, their faces were scorched first, and the ghosts could not recognize it... This is because the fire was put out later, otherwise their bones would be burned...

Therefore, when Baron Bogur's people came to identify it the next day, they would definitely not be able to see their appearance. They could only identify their body shape and height based on the charred corpse. And these, the spies have thought of it a long time ago, and the ones they got are naturally of the same size, without any flaws.

...

After the silence is done, the next step is to guide Baron Adair into the game. For this reason, François I specially sent people to collect several gambling masters who had paid thousands of dollars, and trained them intensively for a period of time, specially training them to cooperate with deception.

When they have practiced their coordination, they will be sent to the gambling houses where Baron Adair often hangs out, and they will be tricked by each other, causing them to go bankrupt and have no way out. Then, a special lobbyist will come to the door and guide him to seek an official position... Then, he will deal with the sale and purchase of disaster victims...

"The next thing we have to do is wait for the other party to come to the door..." Marin said to Kohler with a smile. Once Baron Adair becomes an official in charge of disaster victims as planned, he will definitely send someone to the North Sea Country to contact him. At that time, Marin still plans to take Joe...
