Well? What's going on? Why are the old British guys disembarking?"

"Yo, they're all carrying knives."

"What are you doing?"

In the port of Ajaccio, the workers shuttling through the docks soon noticed the strangeness of the Reasonable and began to talk about it.

I saw a large group of British sailors gathered on the deck, lining up in an orderly manner to climb down the gangway.

Although it was not uncommon for British sailors to be seen on the docks during this time, it was the first time that the workers had seen so many sailors appear at the same time.

The sailors gathered in a formation on the docks, silently watching Captain Morris, who was at the forefront, roaring for the final mobilization for them.

The sailors were nervous when they learned that His Excellency Pete was in danger, fearing that they would also be jointly and severally responsible.

"Do you understand?! You!"

Captain Morris roared angrily, venting all his anxiety and uneasiness on the soldier in front of him, and shouted:

"If anything goes wrong with Your Excellency Pete, let's all wait to be court-martialed!"

Listening to Captain Morris's roar, the sailors couldn't help but touch the scimitar and pistol at their waists, knowing that a fierce battle awaited them next.

At this moment, several dock workers carrying wooden boxes passed by, and the phalanx of hundreds of sailors undoubtedly blocked their way.

"Hey, old Englishmen, let me go."

The cynical dock workers only thought that the English were making a collective speech, and they clamed out to make their way through the phalanx, regardless of whether they understood it or not.

Seeing this, Captain Morris's face suddenly turned pale, and he directly drew his saber and walked towards the workers.

"Huh? What are you going to do?"

One of the workers at the head saw Captain Morris walking towards him, and was about to ask a question, puzzled.

However, before his words could be fully spoken, Maurice's knife was already sinking into his heart with a pop.

"This! This! Murder, blatant murder!"

As the worker's body slowly fell, the rest of the workers immediately took a few steps back in horror, directly threw the goods in their hands on the ground, turned around and ran away.

They simply did not understand why the British would suddenly kill the killers.

Even the sailors of the Reasonable looked at Captain Morris in disbelief as he disdainfully pulled out his handkerchief and wiped the blood from the tip of his knife.

"All of you, listen up, there is no need to be merciful to these Corsican monkeys, they are no different from the and the Indian savages."

Captain Morris put his cleaned saber into his sheath, turned back and shouted to the sailors:

"As long as anyone stands in your way, swing my sword and cut it down!" Whoever cares about women, old people, and children, do you hear me?! Today I'm going to make Ajaccio bleed!"

......

Meanwhile, in the Doge's Palace, in Lawrence's study.

"I heard you were looking for me? Governor Bonaparte."

A burly man stood in front of Lawrence with a blank face, saluted Lawrence calmly, and then said.

Although his tone and actions are impeccable, there is no respect for Lawrence, but a sense of perfunctory everywhere.

Lawrence looked up and squinted at the man, who was the captain of the cuirassiers, Captain Matic.

Two years ago, in Bastia and Ajaccio, Lawrence had dealt with him twice, but those two encounters did not end very happily.

Coupled with the fact that Captain Matic is a completely Pauli officer, it is not surprising that he has such an attitude towards Lawrence at this moment.

"You may be seated, Captain Matic."

Lawrence smiled and stretched out his hand to signal him to sit down, saying:

"Ajaccio has an enemy situation, and I need you and your men to temporarily take the command of Major Trefali."

After hearing this, Captain Matic did not even ask what Lawrence said about the enemy's situation, but waved his hand and said:

"I'm sorry, Governor Bonaparte, all the cuirassiers, including me, belong directly to General Pauli, and this will not change because he is out of office as Doge of Corsica, and you have no right to transfer us."

Lawrence's smile still hung on his face, and he thought to himself:

"This Captain Matic has a good sense of politics, and he knows that I can't attack him as soon as he comes to power, and he probably relies on this to have such a tough attitude."

After all, the essential source of power is the subordinate, not the superior.

Nowadays, almost all of Corsica's military and political officials are single-handedly promoted by Pauli, and if Lawrence takes office, Yin Shi will attack them, which will inevitably cause a strong backlash.

So, Lawrence asked almost without changing his face:

"Captain, I want to ask you a question, Corsica and Paulie, which side are you loyal to."

Captain Matic shook his head and replied:

"The two sides are not opposed, and we owe allegiance to both General Pauli and Corsica."

"What about priority?" Lawrence then asked.

Captain Matic was stunned for a moment, thinking that Lawrence was going to use the name of Corsica to blackmail himself into sending troops, so he replied directly and truthfully:

"I don't hide it in front of Governor Bonaparte, General Pauly has a higher priority."

However, Captain Matic did not realize that he had fallen into Lawrence's trap when he said this.

"I see..."

Lawrence chuckled and nodded, Captain Mattic's words had long been expected by him, so he immediately said:

"Does that mean that after the death of General Pauli, you will be completely loyal to Corsica?"

"You, what do you mean?" Captain Matic opened his mouth and was stunned for a moment before he asked Lawrence.

Lawrence didn't speak, just handed a piece of paper in a drawer to Captain Matic.

This document had just been drafted by Lawrence, and only Lawrence's signature was needed to issue it as an executive order.

Captain Matic frowned and took the paperwork and glanced at it, but after reading the title, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his back and stare at Lawrence in disbelief.

I saw that the title of the document read:

"An urgent order for the execution of the traitorous Pasqualai Pauli."

"You! Lawrence, how dare you?!"

Captain Matic almost jumped up in his chair, slapped his hands the table, and asked Lawrence in a loud voice:

"You despicable usurper! You still want to kill General Pauly?! Do you know the consequences of this?!"

In Captain Mattik's view, Lawrence's so-called coup d'état was nothing more than a farce, and he believed that Lawrence had no foundation and confidence to control the whole of Corsica.

Because at this time, General Nathan still had 2,000 troops in his hands in the Northern Army, and as long as he moved south, he could easily drive Lawrence out of Ajaccio and re-support Pauly to restore the throne.

That's why Captain Matic dared to tear his face with Lawrence so hard at this moment.

Now that the two of them have torn their faces, Lawrence stopped talking nonsense, looked directly at Captain Matic, and said coldly:

"You don't have to think about the consequences for me, you just have to make a choice, either follow my command or let Poly die."

"You madman, damn it!"

Captain Matic couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, the idea he had just conceived had an absolute premise, that is, General Poly must live.

Once Pauly dies, his old subordinates will inevitably not remain monolithic, and the consequence of that is almost certain is that General Nathan will be in power alone.

If this were to happen, Captain Matik would instead be ostracized and liquidated by General Nathan because he did not belong to the Northern Corps.

And Captain Matic also understands that although Lawrence has no reason to attack him, he has every reason to execute Pauly.

After all, Paulie announced the treaty with the British in front of so many representatives in Parliament, and the treason charges that Lawrence gave Paulian are absolutely undeniable.

"Don't hesitate, Captain."

Lawrence clasped his hands on his abdomen, looked at Captain Matic and said in a deep voice:

"All this order needs to be my signature is for it to take effect, and at that time I will appoint you as the executioner and have you personally shoot Paulie."

"You! You're threatening me!"

Captain Matic clenched his fists, his teeth crunched, and pointed at Lawrence and whispered.

"That's right, I'm threatening you."

Lawrence shrugged indifferently and raised the paperwork in his hand in front of Captain Matic.

"You!"

Captain Matic was already furious and trembling uncontrollably, but he also knew in his heart that General Poly must not die at this time, let alone by his own hands.

Thinking of this, Captain Matic took a deep breath, suppressed all his anger, sat back in front of Lawrence, and asked through gritted teeth:

"Doge Bonaparte, what's going on in Ajaccio?"

"Captain, you're a smart man."

Lawrence didn't answer immediately, looked at Captain Matwick, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and then held the unsigned document to his chest and tore it to shreds in front of Captain Matik.
