Chapter 184: To the South, or to the East
What is the little Tang Grand Duke afraid of?
To be honest, even he couldn't answer this question himself. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Philip II is indeed a masterpiece of his generation, and it can even be said that he is the protagonist in this era, he can shout 'I will go against the sky', slaughter gods and demons all the way, slaughter immortals and ghosts, row boats without oars, and this life depends on the waves - but that is also ten years later.
Historically, it took almost ten years for Philip II to gradually integrate the interior of France and begin the first steps of the great revival of his dreams.
And ten years later, if you follow the plan step by step, no matter how you think about it, the little Tang Grand Duke is stronger: one is France, which has been war-torn and has just obtained a substantial unity, and the other is Ireland, which has been recuperating for ten years and has a rich country and a peaceful people.
In addition, there is a gap in science and technology, give Xiao Tang ten years of time, God knows what he can come up with, Desmond's research institute is specially established in a deserted place, and everyone who has been there says that it is a ghost domain, the fire and thunder are continuous, and there are special elite soldiers guarding it all the time. What is in the research institute, even Klein is not clear, and Grand Duke Tang has never been silent.
In this case, what is the little Tang Grand Duke afraid of, so he is so impatient that he even has to use despicable assassination methods?
"Probably because of low self-esteem, after all, the opponent is the one who will go down in history...... It's a matter of course to be afraid that you won't be able to beat it, and to be afraid that you'll lose everything in this era. ”
The Grand Duke of Xiao Tang secretly said, from a certain aspect, this is also a proof that he further agrees with this era, if it were not for the attention, he would not have resorted to such radical means.
"Therefore, I think a glass of poisoned wine is more appropriate, convenient, safe, and silent, and even if the matter is revealed, it will not involve us, after all, wine does not speak."
At this moment, it was Insider Leiss who was speaking, and was pulled into the study by Klein, and suddenly heard that he was planning to assassinate a king, and Insider Leith was naturally surprised.
But Insider Liss is Munster's spy chief, take 10,000 steps back, even if he is not a spy chief, he is also a slave, a carefully cultivated dead soldier, as long as the little Tang Grand Duke has a request, then Insider Liss has no way to refuse.
"Or, we can buy off Philip II's personal bodyguard and push him down while he patrols the heights, and he has no wings to fly in the sky."
"Buy the guards, poisoned wine, these two, how can I sound that this is not reliable?"
"If it is a simple pursuit of success rate, one hit will kill, naturally it is more appropriate to hand out a dagger in the shadows, but this proposal of yours is too sudden!"
Hearing the whispered complaint of the Duke of Xiao Tang, the insider spread his hands and said helplessly:
"We don't have any spies in France, and we don't know anything about Philip II's habits, what he likes and hates, what the defenses around him are, and who his enemies are. Even if you are now transferred from your own country, there are inexplicable faces, language barriers, and strange behaviors, which will only make people suspicious. ”
It's not a complaint, it's a matter of telling the truth, and as a good spy, Insider knows best the two good qualities that a spy possesses, one is loyalty, and the other is telling the truth.
In addition, the fact that there are no spies in France is also true.
Insider Leith has only been in charge of the post of head of spies for two years, how can there be so many dead soldiers for him to squander. The French spies mentioned earlier by the Grand Duke of Xiao Tang were just businessmen in France, and the Grand Duke of Xiao Tang paid them a sum of money, and they immediately passed on the information whenever a major incident happened in France according to the agreement - the only function of the whole mechanism was to ensure that the Grand Duke of Xiao Tang would not become illiterate and would not be ignorant of major European affairs, as for counting on these businessmen to kill people...... Even if Xiao Tang Dagong believes it, the insider Lisi doesn't believe it!
"Okay okay, let's be simple, is there a foolproof, conclusive, certain, plan to use that can determine his death with your own eyes?"
The little Tang Grand Duke also knew that he was really a strong man, but he couldn't help it, he had to see Philip II die with his own eyes to feel at ease, so he could only continue to make demands; And his request obviously stumped the insider.
"If you have to...... Then we will have only one way to kill. ”
The so-called open killing, in fact, is the assassination on the street, from the beginning to the end, there is a good example of the four great assassins in ancient times - Nie Zheng.
When Nie Zheng was tired of assassinating the man, he didn't use any means from beginning to end, just a person with a sword, white rainbow through the sun, and stabbed the hero to death.
"Are you sure?"
This kind of open killing thing sounds very cool, but it is impossible for the little Tang Grand Duke to agree easily, first, if the assassination fails, Philip II will definitely raise his vigilance, so that the next assassination is almost impossible; Second, if the assassin fails and the assassin is still caught, then he laughs out loud.
Duke Tang didn't expect the assassins to keep their secrets at all, even if these assassins had undergone professional training, as long as they didn't die on the spot, France was also a generation of big countries, the overlord of Western Europe, and the methods of torture were as many as possible.
In the final analysis, assassination is not very reliable, a spy is a spy, and it is enough to collect intelligence honestly.
“……”
Insider Lisi didn't say a word, and the little Grand Duke Tang immediately understood what he meant.
Nature is uncertain.
"It's my fault...... I pushed too hard. Insider, you shouldn't have heard what I said. From now on, think long-term, send people to infiltrate little by little, and strive to succeed in the assassination within a year, how about this? ”
"We're about 70 percent sure of what we've done."
Insider Liss honestly replied, seventy percent, for a plan like assassinating the king, it is not low. To be honest, he was relieved when the Grand Duke of Xiao Tang gave up the original plan just now, if the Grand Duke of Xiao Tang insisted on killing openly, then he could only risk his life to go in person, just like that, the success rate would not exceed forty percent.
Klein was equally relieved.
Just now, the state of the Grand Duke of Xiao Tang was very abnormal, very abnormal, as if he had fallen into a magic barrier, Klein knew very well that dealing with this kind of person was like dealing with a donkey, and he could only follow the hair. Therefore, he proposed a plan to assassinate, and also called the insider Lis, just to let the little Tang Duke know the difficulty and retreat. And now, although the plan is still going on, the little Tang Grand Duke is calmer after all.
However, in order to prevent the little Tang Grand Duke from going berserk again, Klein still has to find him a punching bag.
"Lord Daduke, strength, in this troubled world, the only thing is to strengthen your own strength. I don't know why you insist on assassinating this Philip king, but I guess he will be very useful in the future, and even pose a threat to us, right? ”
"But you didn't think that in this world, there are more people in power than us, so many emperors and kings, and even popes and bishops, can we still kill us all one by one? You know better than I do that this is impossible. ”
"Making money is to increase strength, and training is also to increase strength, as long as our own strength grows and our strength becomes stronger, no matter how powerful this Philip King is, he can't trouble us, can he?"
Grand Duke Don Jr. stared into Klein's eyes without blinking.
"Makes sense, Crane, you make a lot of sense, go ahead, I know you already have an idea in mind."
"To the south, or to the east."
Klein took out a chart from behind him, which he had prepared improvised, and found it on the way to find Insider Leith, and he did have a draft.
"Breton, which is of the same origin as us, or Scandinavia, where we have conflicting interests, and Scandinavia, which is the birthplace of the most elite warriors on the European continent, these two places, no matter which one we master, will be very helpful to your hegemony, the question is, which one do we swallow first......"
