Chapter 10： The cheapest intelligence organization (1/2)

It wasn't Franz's intention to show up so early, if he could, he didn't mind being remotely controlled behind the scenes.

Unfortunately, this is impossible. As the crown prince of the Austrian Empire, his every move was within the sight of those who are interested.

Recently, Franz has been in frequent contact with the military. If it was not for his young age, he didn't have the right to control, and I don't know how big a storm has already occurred.

No matter how disturbing the line of sight or public opinion, Franz must stand at the front desk. The difference lies in whether someone was pushed to the front desk or he took the initiative to stand at the front desk.

Franz didn't want to make a pawn, he chose to take the initiative at this time. If history did not change, a revolution would break out in Vienna in March 1848, and he would take the throne in December.

In order not to be hacked by the insurgents and to succeed in the throne of the executioner, Franz had to make a move first.

Everyone has a preconceived notion. As long as an image of a benevolent monarch is created, any attack or blackout will be futile. At this time, the popularity of the Austrian royal family has not collapsed.

”How do I let you secretly recruit people, Raul?” Franz asked with concern.

”Dear Grand Duke, the progress is not very smooth. Too few people can meet your requirements. So far I have only dug two people in the secret police. Their ability has only reached your minimum requirements!” Raul was distressed. Answered

Franz hesitated for a moment. He didn't expect that it was so difficult to recruit intelligence personnel. Is his own standard really high?

He only put forward the most basic requirements: loyalty to the royal family, no political tendencies, a certain degree of wisdom, courage, alertness and patience, but also a keen judgment, and it is best to have a certain professional ability.

He didn't even put forward his personal temperament, learned knowledge, keen political sense of smell, and powerful analytical ability.

”Where is the main requirement not met?” Franz asked with concern.

”Dagong, there are many people who meet one or several items alone, but when combined, few people can meet your requirements!” Raul thought for a while and said

Franz was dumbfounded, and it is true to think about it. There were very few professional intelligence personnel in this era, most of them were amateurs.

It is very difficult to establish an intelligence organization. Even if his imperial crown prince can dig the corner of the government, can these people's loyalty be guaranteed?

What if it is a spy sent by someone else?

No doubt, don't say that in this era, even the professional intelligence personnel of later generations have owners. Franz wants to establish an intelligence organization, either to cultivate it himself or to dig the corner of the government.

”What advice do you have, don't hide it!”

Franz asked, frowning at the restless Raul.

”Prince, in fact, you don't need to form a separate intelligence organization. There is an intelligence organization in the hands of the royal family, but these years ...”

Half of Raul's words ended abruptly.

Franz nodded, and he knew the royal intelligence organization. Under normal circumstances, this organization is responsible only to the emperor.

The size of this intelligence organization is small, and its scope of business is relatively single, that is, to monitor the situation in the country, as well as several neighbors.
