In the tavern outside the Coburg Theatre, even the opening hours have been extended for tonight's concert.

Arthur sat in a walnut chair, propped up the bar with one hand and spooned the beer foam in a white glass with a silvery metallic sheen.

Tony and Pinkerton sat beside him, one left and one right, and there was still a look of horror on their faces.

Tony pinched his hat on the bar and took a sip from his beer glass, his hands shaking under the influence of the alcohol.

"Arthur, you just don't know how thrilling it was today. If it weren't for Fiona's cover, we'd almost be exposed. ”

When Arthur heard this, the action of stirring the wine glass suddenly stopped: "Is there something wrong?" ”

Tony spoke, "Everything is fine, we follow the original plan, let Aaron and this kid climb in through the vents, and Fiona will open Madame Levine's bedroom for him and let the wind outside." But no one expected that Count Levon, who had been out for a while ago, suddenly returned from vacation.

Perhaps the Earl of Levin was too tired from the journey, and when he returned to the embassy, he went straight to his bedroom and fell asleep. Fortunately, Aaron, this kid was clever, and he suddenly rushed under the bed when the other party didn't enter the door, so there was no problem. ”

"Under the bed?" When Arthur heard this, he suddenly remembered the magical experience that Dumas and Tom had just described to him: "Perhaps I should have glanced under the bed tonight before going to bed, it seems to have become a hot area." ”

"Arthur, what do you say?"

"Nothing, I just feel that I seem to understand a little bit of the reason why Madame Levine is in a hurry to leave tonight, and it turns out that her husband has returned. I thought that these upper-class aristocrats didn't care about these gossips, but it seems that I thought too much. ”

Tony shook his head when he heard this, "Maybe Lady Levine left early not because of this, because Aaron told me that Count Levine was woken up by the servant after he slept for a while. Listening to the meaning of their words, it seemed that there was a messenger from afar who wanted to see him, and Miss Fiona took advantage of the opportunity to serve tea to the messenger and leaned over to listen for a while, but because their German accent was too strong, Miss Fiona listened for a long time, and only locked on one or two key words, one was Warsaw and the other was Poland. ”

"Poland?"

As soon as Arthur heard about this country, he immediately felt that something was wrong.

The current Kingdom of Poland was founded on the basis of the Duchy of Warsaw after the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815.

At the Congress of Vienna, which divided the fruits of Napoleon's victory, in order not to arouse the excessive jealousy of Britain, Austria and other countries, Russia patted its chest and assured everyone that the newly established Kingdom of Poland was only a co-confederation with the Russian Empire, that Poland could still have an independent army, parliament, currency and laws, and that the Russian Tsar would swear allegiance to the Constitution of the Kingdom of Poland in accordance with laws and regulations while accepting the Polish throne.

But in fact, within a few years, Russia began to engage in censorship in Poland, and the secret police of the Imperial Office soon wreaked havoc in Poland.

Batches of Polish underground organizations were uprooted in the Third Hall of the Imperial Office, countless political groups were banned, and Poles who were shot and exiled were able to line up from the east to the west of Warsaw.

And when the current Tsar Nicholas I succeeded to the throne, he even intensified. Not only did Nicholas I refuse to take the oath of obedience to the Polish constitution, but he also constantly limited the rights of the Kingdom of Poland under the confederation, and government and parliamentary officials were no longer elected, but were directly appointed by Nicholas I.

The Catholic Church in Poland is banned, and the Orthodox Church in Poland is not much better.

All edicts issued by the Polish Orthodox Church had to be approved by Tsar Nicholas I. Whatever is not stamped by Nicholas I is not counted as God's will. He also proved with practical actions what it is called - I know God better than God.

Russia treated Poland in this way, and the Polish people naturally would not be too satisfied.

Although the British people did not care much about the Poles who were thousands of miles away, Arthur could occasionally see a few brief comments on the recent situation in Poland in the corner of the Times.

All in all, the Kingdom of Poland has a large number of cases of small-scale riots.

It's good that Tony doesn't mention Poland, and when he says this, it really reminds Arthur of the day.

Although he did not care much about European history in his previous life, he always knew that the relationship between Poland and Russia was mainly about having you and not me.

It is well known that Poland, known as the Spear of God, had a natural adversary and enemy - the Ottoman Turks.

However, in order to deal with Russia, the Poles do not mind learning from France, uniting with Turkey, and being filial sons of God.

Thinking of this, Arthur's clues in his mind gradually became clear, and he hurriedly asked: "Did Count Liven meet with Count Orlov of the Russian delegation after talking to the messenger?" ”

When Tony heard this, he immediately looked at Arthur with his mouth half-open, and looked at Arthur with a shocked expression: "...... How do you know? I was about to tell you this, when Count Orlov left the embassy by car as soon as he saw Count Livin. Sheriff Field decided to go along and take a look, he hadn't come back yet. ”

When Arthur heard this, he suddenly had a conclusion in his heart: "Nine times out of ten, Orlov went to the docks. It is estimated that there has been a lot of change in Poland, and at least in my opinion it was a large-scale uprising, and it is even possible that there was a direct uprising like in Belgium. Something so big happened, Nicholas I must have been in a hurry to summon a few of his good buddies back to discuss the problem, after all, he couldn't trust most of the people in the Russian court. ”

Hearing this, Tony couldn't help but ask, "But...... Does this have anything to do with us? ”

"Of course it does! Tony, that's all we can count on for our LPS's office expenses. ”

Arthur smiled and took out a pen and paper from his jacket pocket, sat down at the bar of the tavern and wrote a note and handed it to Tony: "You immediately take this thing to the Duke of Wellington's mansion, and tell His Excellency the Duke in person that if the Russian Count Orlov is not seen at the meeting tomorrow, and the Russian side is eager to finalize the relevant agreement on the issue of Belgian independence as soon as possible, then according to the information collected by the LPS so far, we have reason to suspect that they are on fire in the backyard and there is a large-scale uprising in Poland." ”

When Tony heard this, he asked with some weakness, "Arthur, I know you've always been right. Can...... But what if there was no uprising in Poland? Wouldn't the Duke of Wellington blame us for the mistake in the information? ”

Arthur smiled: "That's okay, it doesn't matter if the information is right or wrong, we just need to provide a possibility to His Excellency the Duke." Anyway, postponing the meeting for a few more days would have no effect on Britain, and the intelligence was wrong, that is, the matter of entertaining foreign missions for a few more days. But if the intelligence is right......"

When Tony heard this, he finally came back to his senses: "If the intelligence is correct, then even if we bite off a piece of meat from the Russians at this meeting, they will have to hold back, because they are in a hurry to solve Poland, so they can't give it?" ”

"That's right." Arthur slowly stood up and drank the beer in his glass: "Tony, try to be as decent as possible when you see His Excellency the Duke in a while, maybe he will be happy to reward you with the Marshal Root." ”

Tony also had a smile on his face, and he joked, "That's right, the marshal has eight for him anyway, and it's actually okay to divide one with me." ”
