Chapter 310: Spy School
Marin sent a speedboat and soon delivered the news to Edinburgh in the name of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce. King James IV of Scotland was shocked www.biquge.info that if the 10,000-strong army was really wiped out by the English, Scotland would be basically finished. Because, the main force of Scotland is 15,000 people. The 10,000 men are gone, and Scotland is waiting to be unified by England.
At the same time, James IV agreed to the poison scheme offered by Marin in the name of "Mr. Edison" without even thinking about it. In the eyes of James IV, he had already offended Henry VII to death by sending troops to England. Therefore, when the other party's army returns home, it will definitely not let go of itself. It is better to follow the advice of "Mr. Edison", not to kill people, but to rob all the grain, destroy all the crops, and kill all the livestock, and take away the meat of the animals into jerky and bacon.
As a result, the northern counties of England will inevitably fall into famine. When the time came, his own army withdrew to the Scottish defenses and left the mess to England. You know, the northern counties of England, although the population is very small. There were 3 million people in England, and only 300,000 in the north. However, more than 300,000 refugees are definitely enough for the English court to drink a pot.
At that time, it will not be a question of war between the two countries, but a problem of more than 300,000 hungry people in the northern counties of England. If one is not handled well, it will cause an armed riot of the hungry.
So, King James IV of Scotland decisively sent his cavalry south, and gave an order to the 10,000-strong army to stop the siege of York, and then divide the army into two lines. 3,000 people all the way, directly to the west, arrived at the port of Liverpool, without attacking the city, directly forcibly drove the local people, and demolished the Liverpool dock. Then the passers-by began to loot the countryside near Liverpool, and the small towns without walls, taking all the grain, and killing all the livestock, and making jerky and bacon, even the ploughing horses and watchdogs.
After sacking the area around Liverpool, this force did not have to join the main force, but went north along the west coast, grabbing grain, killing livestock for jerky, and destroying all the docks along the way, even the fishing village docks. In this way, the possibility of the Scottish army being outflanked by the Great Army of England was minimized. Because, the other side has no landing point on the west side.
As for the remaining 7,000 main forces, James IV ordered that after the main forces of the army abandoned Yorktown, they went directly south and sacked the countryside of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. Then, head back north and sack the Yorkshire countryside again, making sure not to leave any local food behind. However, he did not kill anyone. Moreover, they did not rob their hoes, sickles, and other iron farm tools. Because that is the weapon they will use to make trouble and rebel in the future......
Because of the looting of the countryside in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, James IV estimated that more than 400,000 people in England would go without food this time. When the time comes, England will definitely have to bear it......
At the same time, the Margaret Lord of London received the suggestion of "Mr. Edison, the owner of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce" to kill the palace guard, but pushed back the task of killing to the North Sea Chamber of Commerce. The reason for this is that Lord Margaret does not have a dedicated assassin under his command. After all, she is the key surveillance target of Henry VII, and it would be good to be able to engage in intelligence work. If you dare to raise assassins, you will be discovered, and you will definitely be dead.
In desperation, the London branch of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce completed this task. However, after receiving simple training from Marin, they also know how to use the method of planting and blaming the blame.
They sent a French-speaking intelligence officer, disguised as a Frenchman, to find the underground forces in London and offer a reward for the head of the palace guard. But as soon as he turned his head, he sent his own killer to assassinate the off-duty palace guard with a dagger engraved with a French inscription. In this way, when the British investigate afterwards, they will point the finger at France and withdraw themselves from the matter.
Moreover, in London in this era, there were no Sherlock Holmes detectives. As long as this is planted, the British will believe it nine times out of ten. Anyway, Marin has always been lurking, even the London branch of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce is in the name of the Danes. Obviously, Denmark and England are not in conflict, and even have frequent exchanges and good relations. Therefore, it is difficult for the British to suspect the head of a "Danish Chamber of Commerce". After all, in Europe, spy warfare has not yet arose. Marin, a half-guy, has enough spy movies and novels on TV and the Internet......
……
Probably in this incident, feeling the great usefulness of spies, Marin suddenly decided to go to the spy school in the east of the city on a whim to inspect it.
This spy school was established at the beginning of this year. Its purpose was to train spies and infiltrate the three countries of Denmark, the Electorate of Saxony and the Electorate of Brandenburg to find out each other's military movements.
After all, these three countries are currently Marin's biggest hostile countries, and Marin needs to guard against their joint attack. Therefore, Marin plans to train a group of spies to infiltrate these three countries to find out each other's military movements.
It was not difficult to train spies for the Electors of Saxony and Brandenburg, as they were also German-speaking countries. And it is very difficult to train spies to go to Denmark. Because, the other party is a Danish-speaking country.
It is impossible to train a German to speak Danish fluently in a few years. Therefore, in desperation, Marin had no choice but to send people in the Danish area in the north of the Duchy of Schleswig, select a group of Danish young people who are willing to serve him, as his intelligence officers, and send them to Copenhagen to find out the news.
This spy school was completely established by the layman Marin and the half-knowledgeable Kohler. However, the traditional intelligence system established by Kohler is, in Marin's view, simply full of loopholes.
For example, many of the intelligence officers selected by Kohler were rogue gangsters. It's okay for such a person to make a bag and inquire about some information that is not very confidential. If you want to find out very confidential information, you need very professional people.
Moreover, the traditional intelligence personnel, such as some street gangsters and bag inquiries, Marin has seen it, and at a glance, he is not a serious person. If you are more alert, you can be suspicious directly.
For example, let those traditional intelligence officers keep an eye on them, those guys look at them like thieves, not like good people, and they don't meet the appearance conditions of intelligence officers at all. If the police come, they will be arrested and questioned first. Moreover, their staring eyes are too straightforward, and the thief's eyes can't help but scan. People who are a little more sensitive can easily spot that they are watching.
So, Marin, a half-bucket "spy expert", asked Kohler to recruit those who looked good, but were not really honest. Such a person is very deceptive in appearance. Even if he stands in front of you, you won't think he's an intelligence agent. Like Silly Root standing in front of you, would you think he's a spy?
Ma Lin is also the director of those anti-Japanese dramas, and he picks an actor with whatever stuff. One by one, the men are handsome, the women are beautiful, and they are the focus wherever they go, can they be intelligence officers? Moreover, one by one, they are also washed, cut and blown, all kinds of cool shapes. If it is really seen by the devil, the woman must be caught by the devil and taken to the wheel, and the man is also caught by the ** flower...... After all, devils also have......
Only those who have a popular face that is not remembered by others are suitable intelligence officers. Of course, in some occasions where beauty tricks are needed, beautiful spies are also needed. However, that is relatively rare.
Entering the spy school, Marin began to observe the "drills" of the cadets. After all, they rely on performances to eat, and spies also need acting skills, and they are more demanding than actors.
The actor's acting skills are poor, and he is sprayed by the audience at most. And if the spy has poor acting skills, he may die. Therefore, the acting requirements of spies are much higher than those of actors. For them, acting is the guarantee of life safety.
Seeing the wonderful performances of the spy students, Ma Lin seemed to have come to Beiying and Chinese Opera to watch the stars playing......
It's just that there are some lines that make Marin feel very shocked and embarrassed when he listens to them - because those lines are what he compiled into the textbook......
For example, two spy cadets over there are rehearsing a secret street scene:
"Heavenly King Gaidi Tiger ......," a spy student whispered a code in strange Chinese.
The other person who connected the "Pagoda Town Law Demon" immediately answered in strangely pronounced Chinese.
Then, the two of them put my hands together:
"I've found you, comrade!" Of course, this is said in German.
There are also spy students who use such a joint code:
"Boss, come to a box of 'Old Knife Brand' cigarettes......"
"The 'old knife' is sold out, and only the 'big front door' ......"
……
The reason why Chinese is used as a code is because of a whim of Marin. At that time, Marin believed that no one in Europe understood Chinese, and the use of Chinese as a joint code was definitely a scorpion baba - the only one. Therefore, at that time, he added a few Chinese ciphers to the espionage introductory textbook, and also annotated the phonetic transcription.
However, watching the spy trainees perform on the spot, Marin had an urge to cover his face. Because, he feels too two......
But the spy students didn't know that these two stalks had been used up in later generations, and they were full of interest in the drill, and their faces were full of seriousness and solemnity......
Marin had no choice but to resist the urge to laugh, continue to watch their rehearsals, and applaud and encourage from time to time. Because at the end of this year, this cadet will go to his job to serve Marin. For these young people who are risking their lives to work for themselves, Marin believes it is necessary to give them enough respect.
Moreover, for their families, Marin will also give preferential treatment. Their families would stay in the rear, fed and fed by Marin. Of course, while receiving preferential treatment, these family members also became hostages in disguise to avoid the rebellion of these spies. As long as these spies have served him for a long enough time, or have made enough contributions, Marin will transfer them back to serve as teachers in the spy school, and they will be given preferential treatment in their old age. At the same time, he also helps himself to train young spies. In the unfortunate event of a Spy's death, their families will continue to receive preferential treatment, knowing that their parents are dead and their children are adults and have the ability to support themselves......
