Section 94 Assassination Warrants
readx;? Brion's words had apparently taken the Inspectorates by surprise, but Languedotte, though a little confused at first, immediately understood Brion's intentions. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Indeed, the most powerful people in France now are none other than Brion and Sières, plus the help of the Governors Carno and Le Tourne, even if Barras is powerful, he also has no capital to compete with it. Not to mention that Languedot operated in the dark in the courtyard of five hundred people and secretly co-opted him.
Based on his many years of knowledge of Briand, Languedott naturally understood that he meant not to stay in the central power at all, but in the domineering and incomparable military power. After all, Brion is fundamentally different from politicians like Sières, who speak purely on the lips. Brion was born in the military, and he was shot out of a rain of bullets, and in a certain sense, political rights were both needed and extremely disdainful for him.
Because for a country led by weak politicians, it only takes a good time to easily overthrow it, and Brion has exactly the strength, but it is still a little bit short.
"I'm afraid the Duke is joking, the disparity between our strengths can be seen from the crushing defeat of Barras in this election. Letourne was just a joke and took a leisurely sip of wine.
Karno also nodded in agreement, and couldn't help but smile: "By the way, a few days ago, His Excellency Governor Lebel secretly expressed his intention to join our alliance, I'm afraid that Barras will really have a hard time when he is isolated in the future." ”
"Have you forgotten that Barras was a representative of the military, and how could such a large monopoly of power be tolerated by the character of such a man? Brion looked at the crowd and said very seriously: I think Barras will definitely win over the army next, and who will this candidate be?"
"Pishglu. Siaiers said it without thinking, and the name was well known to everyone.
Because the most despised by the Parisian politicians was the habitual betrayal of Pisgelou, the commander of the regiment was notorious in the upper echelons of France. Immediately after the fall of the king's regime, he changed his position and followed the leader of the constitutional monarchy, Lafayette. I am afraid that when Pishglu took over as defense minister a few years ago, Siaiers should still remember it vividly.
After the fall of the Lafayette government and the Girondist leader Brissot, he took power, and Pisglou immediately went to curry favor with the Girondins as if he had betrayed the royal family. Because of the elite troops of the Rhine Legion at his disposal, coupled with his sycophancy, the Girondists did not treat him as a remnant of the constitutional monarchists, but kept the position of Pishglu Minister of Defense.
Two years later, however, the Jacobins seized power in France in a coup d'état, and Pisgru voluntarily resigned after expressing his obedience to Robespierre in order to protect himself. When the Thermidorians seized power, Pisglou was the first to support the opposition to the Jacobins, and after the re-formation of the government, he became Minister of Defense again.
Is this still human? Infernal Affairs. Brion is indeed a little unbearable for such a shocking political experience as Pishglu.
It was precisely because of his habit of moving between the various parties that he was able to protect himself during the previous period of revolutionary terror of the Jacobins, and even remained firmly in the top of the cabinet. I'm afraid that Brion will never be able to learn the essence of this ability in his life.
"It seems that we need to act. ”
"And what do you mean?" Sières looked Brion in the eye, and before he could wait for Brion to answer, he continued, "I think we can talk to this general, and make him our general, and his army will be our army." ”
As the conversation between Sières and Brion continued, Languedot clearly felt the growing smell of gunpowder in the room, and Sières's words had clearly caused Brion's face to look displeased. Although the two are allies, they cannot tolerate two tigers, and the differences between the two leaders are destined to be inevitable.
In fact, Sières was not a fool, and he certainly understood that Briand's sudden targeting of Pisglou was intended to seize the power of the 100,000-strong army on the Rhine side by the hand of Sières. He knew this madman nobleman all too well, and Brion usually had only one modus operandi, and that was to kill.
In other words, however, as soon as Pisgru died, Brion could quickly and legitimately take charge of the Rhine. This is also a double-edged sword, and it will be fatal because Sières has no power to restrain the expansion of Brion's power. This was Sières' greatest concern, but he had enough capital to bring Pisglou to his knees, and to keep him alive would allow Brion to restrain his actions in the future.
Without his own people, Sières would sooner or later become a puppet controlled by Brion.
Brion said coldly, "However, I want him to die." Leaving Pishglu behind is tantamount to raising a tiger, and killing him is, I think, a solution once and for all. ”
Indeed, Brion was right, Pishglou was always playing the role of a wall-to-wall grass. He's like a bomb, never knowing when he's going to detonate. But compared to bombs, I am afraid that Siaiers is most worried about the new threat from Brion to him, and confrontation is a matter of time, and he has to guard against it.
"I'm afraid your offer isn't something I'm going to accept. Sières firmly rejected Brion, and it was clear that he had endured Brion to a certain extent. But in a certain sense, he showed a helpless weakness. After all, both sides are allies, and besides, Sières doesn't have much reason or strength to start facing Brion directly.
In terms of strength and weakness, Sières can now be said to be extremely measured in such a position as the Overseer. He must also accept the reality that he must now maintain his current shaky alliance with Brion for the sake of his interests.
Brion and Sières no longer had a verbal exchange, and they were at such a stalemate. And Carno and Letourna on the side really couldn't sit still, a good celebration banquet turned into a cold battlefield, and the change was only these ten minutes. Of course, they didn't want this short-lived alliance to break, after all, they had common interests, and it didn't do them any good.
"By the way, there are still some affairs on the part of the Duchy of Baden that are waiting for the duke to deal with, and I am out of company. Taking advantage of the fact that the situation had not yet developed into a serious situation, Languedot hurriedly pulled Brion away to break the deadlock, and said humbly as he left: "As for the question of the Rhine Legion, I have yet to discuss it with His Excellency Siaiers. ”
And Sières just nodded in response, he naturally understood that what Brion had decided would never change, and asking for Pisgeru's life was an extremely simple matter in Brion's eyes, and he couldn't even find the slightest evidence against Brion.
Now that the matter is settled, why bother to be bored?" Sières thought secretly, but one thing was certain, he had to prevent Brion from growing up as much as possible.
True to the old saying, there are no eternal allies, only eternal interests.
However, on the way back, Brion found MacDonald, who had been secretly following him to his left and right. Due to the growing power of the Skynet spy group under Brion's cultivation, its power could already cover the whole of Europe. Of course, its function is not just as simple as the original intelligence gathering, MacDonald, as the leader of the Skynet agents, naturally took on additional defense tasks and assassination missions.
In fact, the assassination mission of the Skynet spy group had already begun during the revolution a few years earlier, but at that time it was only to get rid of some revolutionaries who opposed Brion. Now, however, Brion is going to ask MacDonald to get rid of the thorn in his side that has risen to the pinnacle of power.
"Duke, what's the instruction this time?" said MacDonald, in a gesture of submission in front of Brion.
Brion looked out the window and said slowly, "I want you to kill Pishgru, and you have to be quick, don't show your feet." ”
"Secretary of Defense?" exclaimed MacDonald, who had followed Brion for a long time, and naturally understood how terrible the ambitions of this ruthless aristocrat were. It's just that he didn't expect Brion to be crazy enough to assassinate the current Minister of Defense this time!
However, MacDonald had no objection, because Brion was his master, and he had no reason to disobey the monarch as a courtier. Even if it was death, he could only accept it gladly. Moreover, even if outsiders see Brion as a hopeless madman, it is such a madman who has led everything to glory.
However, Languedot on the side said worriedly: "Duke, please forgive me. I understand that you want to replace Pishglu in the Rhine, but this must not be rushed, and Mr. Siaiers will never support you in doing so, and there is a certain amount of risk involved. In case of....... ”
Languedot's fears were justified, if Brion wanted to become commander-in-chief of the Rhine Legion with his strength, it would be sooner or later, but it was completely different from assassination. If the assassination is revealed, not only will Brion fall short, but Sières, who was already vocal of opposition, may also fall short. The two royalists, Carno and Le Tourne, who had just followed Briand, seemed to be loyal, but they could not afford to fly separately in the face of disaster. At that time, Brion will really be alone.
However, this clearly did not shake Brion's determination to continue his actions. It's not just Brion's natural single-minded character, but he also has to fight hard while he still has the capital.
"Give Skynet three months, Pishglu will not die, just give me your head. Brion looked at MacDonald and said, his eyes showing a chilling but indescribable kind of city.
