Chapter 443 looks at the problem from a different angle
Kayla Atkinson plays a young French wife who runs away from Hanoi and takes a luxury cruise to Batavia from Hanoi to Batavia.
The itinerary seems to be aimless and spontaneous, like a little bird escaping from a cage, trying to heal the wounds in his heart during the trip.
Sexual encounters are every man's dream, and Wenbeck is no exception, since meeting Baroness Kayla Atkinson, he has been madly infatuated with this vain French lady.
When France entered the era of the Third Republic, it had long since recognized any aristocracy, and all of them were equal French citizens, regardless of whether they were high or low.
In fact, there are still many old Bourbon nobles who cling to their aristocratic honors, and their titles can also be recognized by other European royal families and win a place in European high society.
Baroness Kayla Atkinson brings together all the traits that fascinate men, authentic French Caucasian women, blonde, noble, young and beautiful in need of gentle soothing from men, the most crucial ...... She was someone else's wife, the wife of a French aristocratic officer.
This satisfies a man's desire for conquest of "I'm better than you", and is as seductive as intoxicating wine and hot power.
Batavia's high society is a forgotten coterie in Europe, and Baroness Kayla Atkinson's aura of her own in this remote rural coterie is so glamorous that a group of upper-class figures "buzz" around her like green-headed flies, which is simply ugly.
After arriving in Batavia, he immediately blended into the white upper class, and was chased by a group of high-ranking people, including the governor Count Hoffmann, and easily heard important information.
Maybe the sperm worm is in the brain, and the Count Hoffmann is completely defenseless against this young and beautiful French lady, and the major decisions of the Doge's Palace can be told as anecdotes, just to make the beauty smile.
A concubine is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is better than a steal, and a concubine is better than a stealer.
It really makes sense that after a dozen days of mingling in Batavia's high society, the unhappy Baroness Kayla Atkinson once again boarded a luxury cruise ship via Singapore to return to Europe, leaving what she called "hot, old and boring clique", and leaving with a large bag of precious gifts, jewelry, exquisite ivory carvings and South Asian-style gold and silver utensils from high society, with the infinite affection of Earl Hoffmann and Sir Wenbeck, without looking back.
Red Fort, Australia
"Hehehe...... You so many experienced intelligence veterans, all of them are not as good as a woman, how can I say you are good? ”
Li Fushou closed the file in his hand indifferently, and looked at Dai Yingcai, the director of political affairs, with a mocking look, and a trace of abuse flashed in his eyes.
"Back to my lord, young and beautiful Caucasian women do have advantages in the field of intelligence that are difficult for us to achieve, and in view of the great success of this operation, we have begun to arrange for the search for some European down-and-out aristocratic women, hoping to replicate such success."
"That's your business, I don't need to report these specific operations, I just need to see the results."
"The subordinates understand that they will definitely arrange a few more suitable back-ups to be ready to use at any time."
"Don't talk about that." Li Fushou's slender fingers tapped the file gently, and said with a satisfied look on his face; "This performance is very good, and hearing such important and hidden news will have a significant impact on future policymaking, hehehe...... Even if the Dutch are so knowledgeable and interested, we can't keep an eye on this fat sheep and wool, cast it with a peach, and repay it with a plum, but what's going on with this Sheng Yeyun, it seems to have the potential to stir up? ”
"Please be clear, Sheng Yeyun can be described as a great traitor, we first noticed that this person was after the bombing of the Moresby Telegraph Office, after investigation, there was a Chinese tea merchant from the Nanyang region with an entourage into the town of Moresby, but after the explosion left alone, it was later proved that the explosion was carried out by Sheng Yeyun's entourage, the destruction of the long-distance telegraph office was aimed at creating conditions for the landing of the Dutch fleet, and its crimes were numerous ......and countless."
The Political Intelligence Department has been monitoring this so-called Batavian "Kapitan" for more than a day or two, and has accumulated a thick stack of information on its hands, from its family business to various operations, its close relationship with the Dutch and the involvement of local Chinese families, almost all of which have been recorded.
Dai Yingcai talked endlessly, and finally said indignantly; "This dog slave who eats inside and outside recognizes the thief as his father, and has committed a lot of blood debts in the Dutch invasion of Lanfang country, and the crimes he has committed are unspeakable, and he thinks that he should send an action team to capture him, and after counting his crimes, he will be punished on the spot, so as to set an example and deter lawbreakers who are ready to move."
Li Fushou listened with a gloomy face, and did not say a word for a long time.
The information collected by the Political Intelligence Department is well-founded, obviously not groundless, this tea merchant named Sheng Yeyun can be described as an accomplice of the Dutch, and the crimes committed are enough to go to the gallows for 100 times, and the harm to Queensland is not small.
Depending on the height of the station, the scenery you see is different.
Li Fushou did not say anything about this, as a superior person, he would not order the killing of an important member of the enemy camp, even if his crime was extremely heinous and he was innocent of death, he would not do so.
This kind of assassination method seems to be very relieving, but in fact it is completely irresponsible.
The rise of the Red Fort as an influential power is by no means relying on assassination to eliminate dissidents, but relying on economic development, immigration, and military development to develop and expand itself through open war, and will never do these things that go beyond the bottom line.
Today's Red Fort has the real name of government but not government, and although there are many things that can be done in the name of Queensland, it cannot actually cover the growing territory, and credibility is especially important at this time.
If you want to establish a fair, just and responsible image, you must do less or no dirty things in private.
Even if Sheng Yeyun is assassinated, there will still be Wu Yeyun, Chen Yeyun, and Wang Yeyun who serve for the Governor's Office of the Dutch East Indies, and willingly drive and kill their compatriots for them, will they all be killed?
It is obviously neither realistic nor possible and will not solve anything.
Considering Sheng Yeyun's influence as the leader of the Chinese in Batavia, a rash assassination would only make things worse, completely undermine the weak foundation of mutual trust between Queensland and the Dutch, and make them more hostile and wary of Queensland.
This kind of situation is obviously what Li Fushou does not want to see.
From another point of view
Sheng Yeyun raised a butcher's knife in Lanfang Kingdom to slaughter his fellow Chinese people, and his blood debt was hard to write, this was his loyalty to the new Dutch governor, and it was indeed enough to kill a hundred times.
On the other hand, the Red Fort, as the biggest beneficiary of the retreat of the Dutch forces, was able to push the administrative order unimpeded in Lan Fangguo, where the middle and upper Chinese forces were swept away, saving countless troubles, and Sheng Yeyun could not be blamed.
As for the bad role played by Sheng Yeyun in the previous war, it has been swept away after the signing of the "Singapore Peace Treaty".
The Red Fort won the war, got the territory he wanted, and occupied a large piece of territory in Borneo, and obtained a rich war dividend...... I can't figure out the situation!
"There is no need to mention this matter, Sheng Yeyun is a figure valued by the Dutch Governor's Palace, and any ill-conceived action will have a huge damaging effect on the relationship between the two sides, do you understand what I mean?"
Li Fushou's two eyes pierced Dai Yingcai's heart like blades, which made him feel excited, and he responded in a panic; "I understand that I will never dare to act rashly and privately."
"Well, the role of the Office of Political Intelligence is to gather more valuable intelligence, and keep a close eye on the white conservative forces in the South, which is a problem for our henchmen."
"I understand my humble duties, and when I go back, I plan a careful plan of action, and use European noblewomen to break into Victoria, the stronghold of white conservative forces, and try to obtain as much valuable information as possible, so as to live up to the high expectations of the master."
"That's right, don't look at the Southerners for a while, but after losing the Liberal government election, and now London is governed by the Conservative Party, Prime Minister Robert Cecil is a tough old thing, a white rightist in the out-and-out way, this is not good news for us, and we should be cautious in our words and deeds, and be less showy."
"Humble duty understands."
"Okay, you can go down, and if you have any other important matters, feel free to report it."
"The lord is auspicious, and he has retired from his humble position."
Looking at the back of Dai Yingcai's departure, Li Fushou retracted his gaze and refocused on the file in his hand.
This is a confidential document on cabinet changes in London, which is much more detailed than the public report, and contains the old family history, origins, family composition and political history of the people involved, political tendencies, including statements on some major issues in the world.
From here, it can be seen that a lot of things outside the information are the intelligence collected by the European branch of the Political Intelligence Department through various channels, including gossip circulating in the upper class, relevant monitoring and detection, and information learned through neighbors, and even details about how many cats and dogs are raised at home, and what their names are.
Information on which clubs, pubs and salons you like to frequent, mistresses and hobbies in private, etc., can be said to have done a lot of work.
This is a top-secret document personally sent by Dai Yingcai of the Political Intelligence Department, and the topic of Sheng Yeyun is just a passing topic, not the focus of concern.
Li Fushou felt bored after reading it for a while, closed the file printed with the words "Top Secret" and stood up, walked to the window and looked at the railing, and relieved the depression in his heart.
It's annoying!
The British Empire cabinet is replaced every five years, and all cabinet members have to be refamiliarized, and if a short-lived cabinet collapses in half a year, then all the hard work done in front of it will be in vain.
According to the virtues of the British cabinet in the last two or three decades, very few people who are really capable of serving a five-year term, either six months and one year, or two or three years, because the impact of a major event collapsed and the cabinet was re-elected.
This is an invisible torture for Li Fushou, who always pays attention to London, but he does not dare to take it lightly, any misjudgment will lead to a huge disaster, which is a price that Queensland cannot afford.
As long as Queensland is not strong enough to ignore London, there will be no end to such hard times.
