Lucien blotted the ink from the plans in his hand with blotting paper, and then read them carefully from beginning to end, and then said to himself with satisfaction, "It should be good." At least, there won't be a ridiculous mistake that can be seen at a glance. Although the language is a little verbose, and there are a little more adjectives and adverbials, which makes the text seem less concise, the meaning is quite clear, even precise, and I think it should be able to pass with Joseph. ”

He sat there, closed his eyes, and imagined Joseph's eyes widening, and his face full of disappointment, and finding nothing on his face, and he felt extraordinarily happy.

"So be it!" Lucien said, "That's it, if Joseph can find out the problem, I'll ...... I did all the math homework for Louie! ”

So Lucien opened his eyes, stood up, stretched his long waist, and blew out the candles on the table, and prepared to spend the night with his dear pillow, but to his surprise found that the faint morning light had been reflected through the curtains. Then, from the playground opposite, there was the sound of a wake-up call.

"Hell!" Lucien said. He knew that it would not be long before Joseph would knock on his door, call him, and go for a run in the playground together.

"The body is the capital of the revolution, and running is the most effective way to exercise the body." That's what Joseph said, and that's what he demanded of himself and his brother. In the past, when he was in Paris, he would take Lucien and Louis to the training ground of the "Paris Military Academy" in the morning to run with the other cadets - in Paris, the students were generally loose in other aspects, but they were quite attentive to the practice of running. It is said that this is because the school believes that good running ability is the most important quality of the French army. Later, Joseph would also drag Lucien to run on the playground here, and every morning he would run a 3,000-meter run.

After such exercise, Lucien's long-distance running ability is quite good, in case of going to the battlefield and our army is defeated, Lucien will run away, and there are definitely few people who can catch up with him. As for Joseph, well, if one day he went to Paris to have a tryst with Fanny, and suddenly news came that Robespierre had been resurrected, he would have been able to run from Paris to the New World in one fell swoop, and he would not need much breathing.

The opportunity to spend the night with the dear pillow is gone. Lucien began to count in his mind: "1, 2, 3......" He was sure that before he counted to twenty, Joseph would appear at his door.

Sure enough, when he counted to fifteen, there was a knock at the door: "Lucien, get up quickly, go for a run!" ”

Lucien opened the door, glanced at Joseph, and said, "Let's go." ”

Joseph stood still, and said to Lucien, "What time did you go to bed last night?" ”

"What's wrong?"

"You don't think you haven't slept all the time, have you?" Joseph looked at Lucien and said, "Your eyes remind me of some kind of animal. ”

"What animal?" Lucien rubbed his eyes.

"Yes, of course...... It's a raccoon, the kind of dark-eyed animal that Steven Girard mentioned. At that time, we also said that when we had better boats, we would be able to bring animals from the Americas that people had never seen before...... Well, you were able to come out with the plan last night and one night? ”

"How do you know?"

"I can see the smug look in your eyes. Okay, you go get something to eat first, and then you'll come back to catch up on some sleep. As for the running thing, well, we'll make up for it at night before we go to bed...... By the way, show me that plan of yours first......" Joseph said with a frown, after all, this is his younger brother, not one of the coders in the future who can change it if it is broken.

Lucien slept until the afternoon, and even missed lunch. It wasn't until his stomach protested against him that Lucien reluctantly got out of bed and went out the door.

Go to the cafeteria first and call a small stove, after all, the leading secretary, this privilege is still there.

Having eaten and drunk enough, he thought back to the plan he had come up with, and then went to Joseph's office.

When I opened the door and entered, I saw Joseph sitting behind his desk leisurely drinking coffee, with a book spread out in front of him, and he was smiling.

"Joseph, what are you looking at?" Lucien walked over.

"Oh, there's nothing to do, take out Don Quixote and watch it again." Joseph looked up with a smile on his face.

"Do you have time to look at this?" Lucien was surprised.

"Originally, I didn't have time, but after you came over to help, there was time." Joseph replied.

Seeing that Lucien's face did not seem to be very good, Joseph said: "Okay, Lucien, this means that you have been able to help me and Napoleon and take on some of the responsibility." Okay, have you slept well now? ”

"Hmm."

"First of all, don't stay up late at work anymore. This will lower your shelf life – making you age early. Our brothers still have to carry the family for decades. Moreover, even in the short term, it is very uneconomical, because the fatigue caused by staying up late requires a longer rest than normal to eliminate. Of course, there are exceptions when inspiration comes in. Well, you should be recovering well from the looks you look like, right? ”

"Completely ......restored," Lucien stretched out his arms and bent his legs, and was about to continue to show off his physical condition, when it suddenly occurred to him what if he said this, the guy immediately burst out and said, "That's good, there is a glorious and difficult task for you". So he stopped halfway through his speech.

Joseph did not notice his brother's thoughts, but continued: "In that case, let's talk about your plan. Well, there's a lot of sparkle in your plans......"

In Joseph's view, the first shining point of Lucien's plan was the ability to analyze the problem from the very root.

Lucien begins by pointing out that the underground order is not fundamentally different from the above-ground order, and that they are essentially rules based on violence. In the final analysis, such rules are based on violence. The fundamental reason why the underground order can exist is that the power of the above-ground order is insufficient, and many places cannot control it. This gives room to these underground orders. And to establish an underground order that is beneficial to oneself, in the final analysis, it is necessary to have a violent organization of one's own.

It's just that the underground order still has its own unique characteristics. There is also a difference between the way it is used and the violence of the earthly order. It must be secretive, small-scale, easy and quick to use. Such violent organizations should be organized and trained differently from the number one violent organization on the ground, the military. In some senses, though, they have a lot in common with the police agencies on earth. Now, due to the lack of funds and the purge of the former "Public Security Committee", the police system in Paris has been severely weakened, leaving a huge power vacuum for all kinds of underground forces. This also made it possible for the Bonaparte family to establish their own underground power in Paris.

After arguing the possibility of the Bonapartes establishing their own underground power, Lucien made suggestions on how to establish it.

First, with regard to personnel, Lucien argues that there are a number of unemployed ex-police officers in Paris, who are unemployed either because they have been implicated in the purge of the "Committee of Public Safety" or because of financial reasons. They have a certain level of ability and a good understanding of the situation in Paris, and they are still inextricably linked to the Paris police today. In addition, because of financial difficulties, the life of the Paris police has also declined relatively. It also gave us the opportunity to infiltrate the police system in Paris. Therefore, if we can co-opt these people, it will be of great help to our cause.

Secondly, there must be a difference between underground violence and above-ground violence, and as to what this distinction is, Lucien believes that he does not know about it, and lacks investigation, and without investigation and research, he has no right to speak, so he cannot give specific advice, but only advises Joseph to consult more people who know about it when dealing with this matter. But he believes that technological progress will have a very big impact on both above-ground and underground violence. Therefore, Lucien suggested that targeted research should also be carried out in the institute. Lucien suggested calling this type of research "civilian weapons studies."

Of course, it is not economically economical to develop specialized weapons for a limited number of underground forces of one's own. So Lucien suggested that these weapons could be sold outside of France at all. Both Poland and North America are good markets for this type of weapon.

"I'm not sure what the new weapon will look like, but it's certainly stealthy and portable, just like our little melon. The Polish resistance was destined to be unsustainable, and in the future guerrilla warfare in the countryside and cities would become an important mode of warfare, as would the assassination of 'traitors' and high-ranking officials of the invaders. Such a weapon should also be suitable for their use.

In North America, there are no restrictions on weapons, and there is a lack of order there, so people should also have a great demand for portable weapons. ”

When he saw this paragraph, Joseph couldn't help but nod his head, and at the same time, this sentence popped up in his head: "Free America, shoot every day." ”

Finally, Lucien also suggested that this organization should be modeled after the police department, and should be divided into three parts: the investigation department, the planning department, and the execution department, and the investigation department and the enforcement department should be divided into multiple groups in parallel, without the control of each other. It is controlled by the consent of the planning department.

"Your suggestions on the organization of personnel, the structure of the organization, and the study of weapons are very good. But how can your writing be so verbose? Originally, I thought you still had a good feeling in terms of words......" Joseph said with a frown.

"I'm not worried about your comprehension, I'm worried about whether you'll misunderstand what I mean." Lucien said in passing.

"Hehe......" Joseph said he did not share his knowledge.

"Lucien, I think your suggestion is still very feasible. This organization, we call it the 'Market Research Department', and it is said to be engaged in market research. I'm also a division chief here, but how about handing over the general work to you, do you have the confidence to do this well? ”

"No problem, no problem! I promise not to cause any more trouble for you this time. Lucien was overjoyed.

"Well, although I don't like your style, it at least shows one thing - you are much more detailed than before. Remember, the devil is in the details. Especially in this matter handed over to you now, it is even more important to pay attention to all kinds of details. Joseph confessed again.

If it had been before, then Lucien would have said, "Got it, don't turn a sentence over and over again countless times, like a broken-mouthed old girl." But now, Lucien replied, "I understand, I will be careful." I'm going to write down what you just said and stick it on my desk. ”

"Well, if you're going to take care of this, I have so many things here, can you keep busy?" Joseph asked.

"It's okay, am I strong? That's not a problem. In the process of becoming a confidential secretary, Lucien had begun to feel a little bit of power, and now that he had the opportunity to be in charge of the daily work of a department, how could he let it go? It's just that if you're tired, a man should be cruel to himself.

"Stupid, you see, I have too many things to do, I can't finish it alone, so don't I find a confidential secretary? You're not going to find yourself a confidential secretary? Joseph said.

"Ah, yes!" Lucien slapped the fist of his right hand in the palm of his left hand: "Now that Louis will be eighteen years old soon, he can cultivate it for a while!" Well, that's it! Hehe......"

Lucien smiled strangely, as if just thinking about how to train his brother would bring him great pleasure.

"Alright, stop giggling." Joseph said, "I have a plan here, you go to make a budget, see how much money this plan will cost, how much time. Then tell me the results. ”

As he spoke, Joseph handed Lucien a bag of papers.

"This is top secret, just watch it here, don't take it out. If you can't remember the key figures, make that budget right in my office. ”

Lucien opened the file bag, pulled out the file, looked at it quickly, and then raised his head in surprise and said, "Joseph, it turns out that you have been prepared for these things for a long time!" ”
