Chapter 1301: European Storm (7)
When night falls, in the concession of the Song Empire, located in the western suburbs of Marseille, France, it is already the beginning of the lights. On the clean and tidy streets of the concession, pedestrians have become scarce.
There are a total of 12 straight and criss-crossing avenues in the concession, and the three-storey European-style buildings on both sides are full of baroque styles.
After more than two years, half of the land in the concession has been developed and put into use.
The entire concession, compared with European cities in this era, is still very well done with greening and sanitation.
At least not like those cities, where the manure is flowing everywhere and stinks.
It is precisely because of the cleanliness and tidiness that all the French aristocrats like to come to the concession to have nothing to do.
Located in the concession of Marseille, it belonged to an outpost of the Song Empire to control Europe.
What happens here in Europe is constantly being collected, summarized, and then reported here. Then, the Imperial Intelligence Agency in the concession fed back to the Song Empire.
It can be said that as long as the concession existed for a day, then the empire could master the dynamics of Europe.
Therefore, the concession was still very important to the empire.
At the beginning, Zhao Hongyu's idea can be said to be a stroke of genius, and now it really has a lot of effect.
But who knows that when Zhao Hongyu came to the European rental industry, all he thought was to export his evil anger.
Even he didn't expect that the role of the concession would be so great now.
With the passage of time, the concession has now begun to play its role.
Through bribery, coercion and inducement, many greedy low-level European people will become the eyes and ears of the Empire, providing information for the Empire, big and small.
The Song Empire was rich, and the economic strength it displayed simply blinded the eyes of the European turtles.
In front of the shining silver coins. The Europeans of this period had little resistance.
Therefore, there is not much resistance at all for the empire to buy the people at the bottom to do the eye-catching.
There are almost no people who can make the Imperial intelligence personnel use coercion and inducement.
At the beginning of the Age of Discovery, Europeans were full of gold and silver. Although more than 100 years have passed since the Age of Discovery, the eyes of Europeans at this time still value gold and silver, which have not changed a little.
Of course, this has to do with the fact that Europeans are too poor.
So, the intelligence services within the concession. The strategy of using money to open the way for European turtles is simply invincible. There are very few people who can not be 'knocked out'.
Even if there were a few special exceptions, they were cleared up by the Imperial Intelligence Department and disappeared into this plane, so they would not be an obstacle at all.
Even for the sake of silver coins, many times the Imperial Intelligence Department does not need to make a move, and those eyes and ears who have been bought by the Imperial Intelligence Department will eliminate these unstable factors by themselves.
It can be seen that using money to open the way in this era is really a very effective measure.
Of course, the magic of money. Even in the 21st century, the effectiveness is very strong. Not to mention the beginning of the 17th century.
Although the European countries of this era also had spies and agencies related to intelligence, they obviously did not attach much importance to this.
At least, it's not as important as the Song Empire.
Usual times. Most of the intelligence services under the command of these European countries are idle. At most, it is to inquire into the privacy of other people's homes for various nobles, or some lace anecdotes or something, in exchange for some nobles' rewards to live.
They were like the intelligence agencies of the Song Empire. It's very important to have intelligence.
It was during this period that European countries began to use intelligence services that had been idle for a long time because of the war.
Pity. These guys, because of the long period of idleness, many of the skills of intelligence officers have been wasted.
Therefore, as peers, the intelligence department of the Song Empire despised and looked down on the intelligence departments of European countries.
Compared with the Song Empire's Intelligence Department, which has another modern thinking in time and space and has mastered cutting-edge intelligence skills, the European Intelligence Department and its members in this era are really out of the stream.
Who made many things in the Song Empire stand on the shoulders of the 'giants'.
However, because of the communication technology, the Imperial Intelligence Department also has a little trouble in obtaining intelligence.
At the same time, the activity of the Imperial Intelligence Department also aroused the vigilance of the allied forces of the Church vassal states.
Besides, the Song Empire's support and assistance to Portugal and France in large quantities of materials was obviously on the side of Portugal and France.
Then, for the side of the vassal states of the church, the Song Empire can now be regarded as their enemy.
What else is there to say about the enemy.
Strike, destroy, both in the past and in the future, that is a very effective means.
Therefore, in recent times, members of the Imperial Intelligence Department have been secretly attacked by the power of the church.
Although the casualties were not large, it made the intelligence agencies in the Marseille concession very unhappy.
In addition, the coalition forces of the Church vassal states have recently stopped their offensive and changed their attitude of frenzied attack. This has no sign at all, and it is very confusing to everyone.
However, due to the constant attacks on intelligence officers, the intelligence agencies of the concession were greatly affected during this time, so that until now, they have not been able to grasp the intelligence information of the allied forces of the church vassal states.
In order to solve this problem, the head of the intelligence agency of the Marseille Concession sought out the people affiliated with the Imperial 'Interception' organization and asked for their help.
Therefore, Jenny, who was sent to Europe more than a year ago, appeared in front of the head of the concession intelligence officer.
Jeanne, of French and Roman (Italian) descent, aged 20, was an early killer who belonged to the Vatican Inquisition. The assassination of all classes of people who are dissatisfied with the Church will also be used by some powerful bishops as their personal tools.
However, when Jenny fell into the hands of Zhao Hongyu, and after a series of blows and brainwashing, she was completely transformed and thrown into the camp of the Song Empire.
Moreover, he also became a believer in the 'interception of religion' supported by the Song Empire.
Because he used to be an Inquisitionist. So it's no stranger to killing.
And the 'Interception' also needs people like her.
Therefore, Jenny is still doing her old job, but with a different owner.
Although she belonged to two different organizations from the Imperial Intelligence Agency, Jeanne still came to the Marseille Concession for the sake of everyone's relationship.
At this time, Jenny was wearing a black puffy skirt, her long blonde hair was coiled behind her head, and her white shoulders were exposed, making her look very skinny and lazy.
It's her way of dressing, and no one can associate her with that kind of existence that kills people without blinking.
But in fact. The head of the intelligence agency of the concession, who was sitting opposite Jenny, knew very well that Jennifer was a ruthless person, and there were no less than three digits of people who had died at her hands in the past year or so.
Moreover, they were all tortured and killed by her.
Looking at that delicate and fair little face, Jenny, a girl who anyone would admit to be a beauty, is an out-and-out murderer.
It may be that the life and training of the early Inquisition led to the fact that this violent factor was planted in Jenny's body.
Although she hides it well, it will still be frightening once it erupts.
"Lately, our manpower has been under inexplicable attack. Although the losses were not significant, there were no deaths. However, this has created a small obstacle for us to gather intelligence, and even the eyes and ears that we have developed with great difficulty have been severely damaged......"
Retracting his thoughts, he sat opposite Jeanne to the head of the intelligence agency of the Marseille Concession. Tell Jenny about the difficulties they are facing today.
"These informants have been assassinated or assassinated, and we can't find an opponent and are completely passive, which is a naked provocation." , the head of the intelligence agency of the concession. The more he talked, the more excited he became, and his whole face turned red. "Even yesterday evening, our intelligence officers were attacked in the concession. Although he did not die, he was seriously injured. It can be seen that the enemy is becoming more and more unscrupulous. ”
Speaking of this, the head of the intelligence department of the Marseille Concession gritted his teeth 'squeaked!' creaked, which showed how resentful he was about this matter.
But think about it, now those opponents in the shadows actually dare to make a move in the concession.
So, after a while, wouldn't they be even more bold when they saw that there was no reaction here?
Once that happens, the concession will be a mess here.
Jenny kept a smile on her face, and sat there lazily listening to the intelligence chief's excited talk. But she didn't say anything about it, and she couldn't see her attitude at all.
"You also know that this is Europe, and our people can't hide their tracks when they go out to do business. No matter where we go, we are so conspicuous. As he spoke, the head of the intelligence department couldn't help but start to feel a little depressed. So if we want to deal with those who are secretly attacking us, we have no way to do it for the time being. So I can only ask for some help from you. ”
Jenny nodded, and she knew that this guy was telling the truth.
The people of the Imperial Intelligence Department are indeed a bit of a disadvantage in Europe.
The reason is very simple, black hair, black eyes and yellow skin are indeed as outstanding and distinctive as a group of blonds and blue eyes.
It's hard for you not to be noticed.
Therefore, once violence occurs, especially if the opponent still makes a secret move, it will appear a little passive.
"I think it's not hard for the opponent to guess, it should be someone from the church side. I can even tell that the assassination was carried out by the assassins who were privately trained by the Church, or by the Inquisition. Jenny's beautiful blue eyes flashed with a bewitching luster, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and a chilling smile appeared on her face.
"I'll solve this matter, so don't move here." , Jeanne said to the head of the Marseille intelligence service.
At the same time, Jenny's heart was secretly excited.
Inquisition?
Interesting!
The thought that she might have to confront the Inquisition, and that she could brutally kill them, made Jenny feel that her body became hot...... (To be continued......)
