"As last time, it seems that this somewhat reckless Prussian general has been deceived again. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "MacDonald walked over quietly.
"You've been busy lately, and you haven't been back for a long time. Brion looked back and smiled as the mystery continued to rise.
Brion is also very knowledgeable about MacDonald's whereabouts. The top management of the largest spy organization in Europe has been busy sending capable officers to important French departments during this time, and there are countless spies lurking all over Europe, and now it is the fourth batch of undercover personnel.
Driven by these factors, MacDonald's prestige is also getting higher and higher in Skynet.
"We selected nearly 500 agents a few days ago, and now we are estimated to be lurking all over Europe. MacDonald nodded.
Brion smiled knowingly, "I appointed you to be the leader of Skynet because I fancy your honesty, rigor, and most importantly, loyalty. Apparently you have already qualified. β
MacDonald was stunned, but quickly calmed down. He really didn't expect that Brion had such a powerful force to easily get his whereabouts, and looking at this calm young nobleman, MacDonald couldn't help but secretly marvel.
In an instant, he seemed to understand the first condition for working under Brion, and that was absolute loyalty. Even if you can climb to the top, don't forget who sent you there. If Brion can make you, he can easily destroy you.
Brion seemed to see through the fear in MacDonald's heart, and nodded in satisfaction when he understood that he had come to his senses.
"General, do you need me to arrange your trip?"
"Of course. β
MacDonald obediently pulled out a notepad: "We will rest in the fiefdom for five days, and we can basically reach the naval base in Marseille on August 29." β
"We're going right away, and I don't want to waste time here. Brion was still as resolute as usual: "It was still announced that we would arrive at the naval base on the 28th. β
"Butγγγγγγ β
Brion glanced at MacDonald: "Nothing, just do it!"
"Understood. β
On 22 August, Brion led a cavalry convoy to the Marseille base after blocking the news from the outside world.

"Your Excellency, why are you here in person?"
After Braunschweig pulled the carriage over a grove, Ferdinand, dressed in a royal cloak, stepped out.
And judging from Braunschweig's surprised expression, he was both excited and a little worried about Ferdinand's arrival. As far as the original plan of the Prussian government is concerned, the main purpose of Braunschweig's trip this time is to find out the truth about the loss of Alsace province and, by the way, to obtain some benefits from the French side again. After the mission was completed, the carriage had to travel to a grove on the border between France and Germany, where an emissary would soon arrive to meet Braunschweig.
However, judging from the present situation, the Prussian government had already expressed great dissatisfaction with this matter, otherwise it would not have sent Prince Ferdinand himself.
"Well, this time the Kingdom of Prussia has already suffered a great disgrace. Ferdinand indifferently got into the carriage: "The king has entrusted me to help you solve it. β
Braunschweig gasped at this, and with the sound of footsteps, a group of soldiers with rifles approached. The scale is not small, at least two to three hundred people. However, Brunswick grew terrified at the soldiers, who were all members of the royal family's guard.
In terms of combat effectiveness, they were definitely the strongest army in Prussia.
He instantly understood that there were two ways to solve the current problem, the first was to have the Guards secretly attack the Baden region and use force to force Briand to submit. The second was Brion's agreement to give Prussia a large amount of compensation.
Braunschweig thought to himself, "Brion was so clever that he was able to get away with it." β
"How?" asked Prince Ferdinand, "has there been any progress in matters concerning the interests of the kingdom?"
"General Brion has agreed to try to recover our losses in the industrial region of Alsace, and has granted us the right to act on the Kingdom of Westphalia. Braunschweig respectfully handed a document to Ferdinand: "This is our new treaty. β
"What if the French government doesn't agree?"
The corners of Braunschweig's mouth raised: "I believe that after the Franco-Prussian War three months ago, the power of our Prussian regiment has been shown to the French." I swear Louis XVI would have signed this clause. β
"What are they asking for. β
"Report to the Prince, his purpose is simply to keep us safe from his territory. β
"Territory?" Prince Ferdinand snorted, "I can't believe that such a brilliant general would have such narrow intentions. β
In fact, after the last parting, Ferdinand felt more and more Briand beyond the wisdom of ordinary people. From Ferdinand's heart, Brion must have made some important plans.
"What else did he say?" Ferdinand continued.
"It seems that the Bourbons appointed him Minister of the Admiralty, and he has already gone to the Marseille base. β
"No wonderγγγγγγ Ferdinand stroked his tiny beard.
γγγγγγγγγ
Blowing in the sea breeze, a group of cavalry was rushing at full speed towards a more conspicuous gate. Brion looked at the naval base in the distance and immediately turned over and dismounted.
Just as he was watching a group of heavily armed soldiers approaching here, one of the guards guarding the gate immediately stopped him: "What are you doing? This is a military place, and you are not allowed to enter!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers who followed him were all loaded. In the blink of an eye, the pitch-black muzzle of the gun was aimed at Brion's chest.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?"
"Tell me honestly, or we'll be unwelcome!"
The guards slowly approached Brion's group with their guns in hand, but since it was not clear what the situation was, no one dared to shoot at will.
Brion smiled and walked forward slowly, as if he didn't care about the guard's guns.
"Who the hell are you? β
"Charles Briand Bourbon, the new Minister of the Admiralty here. The corners of Brion's mouth furled, and he was just a few creeps who had never spoken of the world.
"Duke of Baden, General Brion!"
Sure enough, as soon as he heard the name Brion, all the muzzles trembled and he lowered them. This is inevitable, because now almost all the army knows the name of this resourceful general. There are countless soldiers who have idolized Brion, and judging from these soldiers, they should also be Brion's followers.
"Still not giving way?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
MacDonald stamped his foot impatiently, and all the soldiers reacted and hurriedly made way for the group.
Led by one of the guards, Brion led MacDonald to the naval headquarters, while the twenty cavalrymen followed the other to the lodgings, where there were still a dozen beds that no one had occupied.
"Hello everyone. β
Inside the naval headquarters in Marseille, Brion walked in with MacDonald. However, this young man didn't look like a navy at all, and the blue military uniform looked very awkward on his body.
"Who are you?" a naval officer with the rank of lieutenant colonel stepped forward and gave a military salute.
"Charles Brion Bourbon, now Vice Admiral, is in charge of taking over the Marseille base. Brion replied with a straight salute.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of the audience instantly froze. Most people were stunned for more than ten seconds before they reacted in a hurry, and it turned out that the unpretentious man in front of them was the new Minister of the Navy who had just been appointed by the royal family!
Many people here know about the glorious deeds of this general in front of him, who sent troops to the German region, won the Baden War, and repeatedly played Austria between applause. What they didn't expect was that this famous general was so young, and he didn't have the immature nature of his peers at all.
Before the soldiers could recover their senses, Brion happily introduced his personal entourage: "He's my secretary, Colonel MacDonald." Although he is not very good at combat, he did contribute a lot to us in the rear. β
Before Brion could finish speaking, MacDonald nodded in favor to the crowd. However, every officer here did not notice the soldier at all, as if they were still quietly surprised and exclaimed at the sight of Brion.
"So you are our new Chief of the Navy. The lieutenant colonel was the first to react, and shook Brion's hand excitedly: "I have heard of your name for a long time, let me introduce myself, I am Lieutenant Commander Vernave." β
"Wernerve?!"
Looking at this unattractive young soldier, Brion always felt a little inexplicably familiar. And at that moment, Brion realized that this was the admiral of the later Napoleonic era, and he was indeed good at naval warfare. However, he later led the Combined Fleet in Trafalgar in one of the largest naval battles of the 19th century with the British Empire. Because of tactical problems, the army was basically wiped out.
Brion nodded, but he really didn't know what the point of the heavens letting him meet this future admiral, was it to let him reuse him?
Just as he hesitated, Werneuve respectfully pulled out a document from the table: "Report to the general, this is the basic information of our Marseille base, I hope the general can take a look." β
Brion took the information and flipped through it, and there was dense text on every page, which gave Brion a headache after not reading a large document for a long time.
Werner also seemed to see Brion's embarrassment, and hurriedly laughed: "Otherwise, let's go to various places in the base to familiarize ourselves first." β
"You lead the way. β
"Of course. β
