"You've got it in mind?" Lawrence suppressed the joy in his heart and asked in a deep voice.

Poly closed his eyes, and today he seemed to have more wrinkles on his face, and said:

"I will order the army to retreat south in the near future."

Right now, Lawrence's eyes sharpened, and he had calculated everything he had done until now, just to be able to insert his hand into the army, and now he was only half a step away from achieving his goal.

"With all due respect, Governor." Lawrence stared at Pauly's tired eyes and said seriously:

"I don't recommend a direct rebellion against the Parliament."

Pauli also understood that the existence of the parliamentary system played a huge role in the internal stability of Corsica, and if the decision of the protest council was blatantly defied, it could be the root of the unrest.

If it weren't for Corsica's survival, Paulie wouldn't want to make such an outrageous move.

Paulie and Lawrence looked at each other and asked, puzzled:

"What do you want to say?"

"We need a reason to have to withdraw."

"You mean... Directing and acting in a play? Let a part of the army pretend to be Genoese and attack us and then force us back? ”

Poly frowned and asked, he had thought about this method before, but because it was too risky and it was very likely to leak the news, Poly quickly vetoed it.

Lawrence shook his head, he also understood the many drawbacks of this plan, and continued:

"We are indeed directors, but the actors are not only Corsicans."

Paulie was suddenly a little surprised: "You're going to drag the Genoese in?" ”

Lawrence nodded firmly, wanting to make a fake show for the truth, and if the deputies of the parliament were to be unable to grasp anything, he had to find a way to attract the Genoese army to take the initiative to advance towards Corsica.

"What are you going to do?"

Poly cautiously asked, when it comes to military affairs, Poly can't afford to be sloppy. In particular, it is necessary to take the initiative to attract the Genoese to attack, and if it is not handled well, the northern part of Corsica will inevitably be plundered.

Lawrence, who had already prepared a plan, replied:

"Send people to lead a small group of men and horses, take the initiative to launch a feint attack on the fortress of Genoa, and retreat as soon as they are counterattacked, disguised as a situation of heavy casualties, and so on many times, to induce them to pursue."

"It's a little possible..."Paulie nodded slightly, his eyes narrowed into a line, glanced at Lawrence, and said:

"But you want to do it yourself."

Of course, Lawrence's calculations can't hide Paulie's thoughts, but Lawrence has no intention of hiding his desire to enter the army until now.

Because he knew that if Poly approved the plan, the person sent to implement it would have no suitable person except himself.

Whoever picks the others runs the risk of exposing the entire plan to a risk that Poly cannot bear.

Although the intention to meddle in the army was quite obvious, Lawrence, of course, would not directly pick it out, so he said with a smile:

"It's up to you, Governor, to make arrangements, and I'm willing to take the risk if no one else is suitable."

Poly also knew that even if he sent his most trusted officer, there was still the possibility of the plan being exposed, and after some hesitation, he decided to take a step back and acquiesced to Lawrence's request:

"Sending you there is the safest option, and I will give you a military rank in the near future. However, I will also send an adjutant to accompany you. ”

Lawrence nodded to understand that although he would only lead a small part of the troops in the army, it did not mean that Paulie could let Lawrence act arbitrarily, and it was reasonable to send an adjutant as a containment.

Subsequently, Poly and Lawrence discussed and polished the details of the plan. Although Lawrence has a quick mind and a lot of intrigues, after all, he comes from the peaceful 21st century, and he knows nothing about marching and fighting.

Therefore, Lawrence had to listen to the advice of Poly and the future lieutenant on how to implement it.

After deciding to withdraw from Parliament, Pauli was visibly relieved that as the founder and leader of Corsica, he had so many factors to consider. After making up his mind to withdraw the army, he let go of a big stone in his heart.

Just when Paulie thought that Lawrence was going to say goodbye and leave, Lawrence suddenly said:

"By the way, Governor Poly, I need to request a new batch of equipment regarding the expansion of the patrol."

Poly nodded in agreement, which was a very reasonable request, so he asked:

"What do you need?"

"Eighty muskets."

"Eighty? Okay, I'll send someone to your station. ”

Paulie wanted to refuse, but with eighty muskets and twenty of the original team, Lawrence was able to form a small army. However, thinking that he and Lawrence would work together for a considerable period of time, he also agreed.

In his eyes, Lawrence was still just a hairy boy who had just arrived in Corsica for a month, and Paulie was confident that he would be under his control.

In addition, Poly also saw from these eighty guns that the Xicheng District in the next period of time may not be peaceful.

Watching Lawrence's back disappear into the doorway, Paulie muttered to himself:

"Boy, I hope you really have the ability to rectify Xicheng District."

......

When he walked out of Paulie's study, it was already evening, and the afternoon council was in full four hours, which really made Lawrence a little exhausted.

Lawrence had just walked to the door of the governor's palace, but he saw that there seemed to be a commotion at the gate, and a small old man of short stature was being pushed to the ground by two guards, one of whom was putting the locks on the wrists of the little old man.

"Wait..."Lawrence frowned and glanced at the little old man, and immediately recognized it as his subordinate Old Sean, but because he was dressed in civilian clothes, he didn't recognize it at first sight.

"What's wrong?!"

Lawrence stepped forward quickly and asked sharply.

"Bonaparte!" Old Sean, who was pressed to the ground, shouted excitedly and anxiously.

The two guards looked at each other, and one of them said, "Monsieur Bonaparte, this man has been sneaking around in front of the Doge's palace for a long time. ”

"He didn't act out of the ordinary, let him go." Lawrence waved his hand and personally squatted down to help old Sean up.

"However, according to the rules, he is to be imprisoned." The guard said, standing still, not unshackling old Sean.

Lawrence's face sank, his sharp eyes stared directly into the other party's eyes, and he whispered:

"This is my people."

The guard trembled, as if he was being targeted by a prime-aged African lion, a layer of cold sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead, and he hurriedly said:

"Hold... Sorry, I didn't know it was your men, Monsieur Bonaparte. ”

With that, the guard wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, hurriedly unhandcuffed old Sean, and bowed again and again to apologize.

It was not until Lawrence and Old Sean were far away that the guard was about to recover, and he touched his chest and said to his companions:

"Oh my God, this is Monsieur Bonaparte."

"It's so protective of his own men, if our captain does the same... Alas"

"That old cucumber who eats inside and out? He's not trying to squeeze a few silver coins out of us one day, don't count on him. ”

"What a blessing God is to have such a chief as Monsieur Bonaparte."

At the same time, old Sean was panting heavily, and the push he had just had with the guards really made his old bones a little unbearable, and said intermittently:

"God, Bonaparte, really, I've been waiting for you for two hours, something big has happened."

Lawrence frowned slightly, thinking that something had happened in the patrol:

"Speak slowly, not in a hurry."

Old Sean took a deep breath, his expression was full of panic and self-blame, and said in a trembling voice:

"One-Eyed has escaped from prison."
