C266 Pierre the drunkard (2/2)

At this time, Pierre no longer had the cynicism from before, and there was no trace of drunkenness on his face. He once again returned to that strict intelligence officer, and it seemed that seven years of silence did not wear down much of his talent.

”Wrong, you are all wrong. Trying to block off these Chinese people with Gibraltar is absolutely wrong. Our opponents are very cunning, they can't possibly go there. Even fools know that we and the British will seal off the Strait …”

”Oh, Pierre! You're right. Ever since we discovered the wreckage, we've been focusing on Italy. Now that Prussia and Italy are quasi-allies, the Italians will definitely provide cover. ”Guess what we found in the coastal fishing villages of southern Rome?”

”We found dozens of surviving sailors from the frigate Hippopotamus. From their mouths, we played down the entire process of the incident. We believe that these Chinese are moving towards the north under the protection of the Prussian and the Italians …”

”No, something is definitely wrong …” Pierre suddenly shouted, ”You have all been deceived. This group of cunning enemies will not go to Italy. The Chinese think differently than we do. They have accumulated unimaginably many schemes and tricks over the past thousands of years.”

”To fight to the death, to live and to live... I can guess, the group of Chinese are currently in France, and the place where they landed is most likely in Marseille … ”

Xie Lifu was stunned at that time, ”What did you say? He had fallen into a trap! How could that be possible? Even madmen would not choose to cross France? ”Why do you have such a judgment …”

Pierre smiled wryly, ”If I said it was my intuition, you would definitely not believe me. However, all the information that was hidden pointed in one direction, and that was the tense situation between the Austria and Prussia. If my analysis is correct, Prussia had already made their preparations to fight the Austria …”

”Right now, this matter is the focus of European diplomacy. These Chinese are secretly contacting the Prussian, and they can only have one goal, and that is the upcoming war. This means that the Chinese are already trying to interfere in European affairs …”

”The most important thing now is time. They have to get to Prussia before the war, and where is the weakest point of defense? it's not Gibraltar, it's not Italy, it's us, on the French mainland... ”

Xie Lifu was stunned, ”How did you know Prussia was going to fight the Austria? Haven't you been excluded from the intelligence system? How do you know about top secret information? ”

Pierre waved the bag in his hand. ”Isn't it clear?” If I can't analyze the situation in Europe from here, I don't think you would think of me either. ”

Pierre, who could become a gold medallion intelligence analyst, naturally had his own special skills. The intricate information in his mind was woven into a three-dimensional grid, and with every node he touched, all the grids changed. Using all sorts of inferences, the secrets hidden behind the intelligence network began to emerge bit by bit.

”If I were the one to arrange their stowaway route, I would choose this way. ”If I didn't sink the frigate, I would have let them go to Italy or Gibraltar, but after they blew up the frigate, I had to make up my mind to continue on my journey to France …”

”To sneak ashore from Marseille, to sail north along the Rhone River and the Thorn River, then across Lyon to Dijon and disembark in a carriage at Dijon. A few hundred kilometers from here will be German Federation's land … This road looks dangerous, but in practice it's safer … ”

Pierre's analysis thoroughly convinced Xie Lifu. As the carriage headed west to intercept this group of stowaways, one order after another began to fly out in all directions with the help of the messenger horses, causing almost all the telegraph line in the eastern part of France to become busy. Countless temporary barriers were set up, and even the Thorn River began to move about with small armed boats to inspect the boats that were passing by.

This was a secret war between Prussia and France. Countless intelligence personnel were secretly engaged in a war, along the Rhone River and along the line of the Thorn River. Countless Prussian spy's lair were surrounded by them, exposing dozens of high-ranked spies, some died at the scene of the conflict, and some were locked in secret dungeons.

After that, the Prussian's retaliation intensified. They even organized armed intelligence agents to attack the military camps, the gunpowder depots and the police, in an attempt to divert the attention of these Frenchmen.

In just three days, four French barracks were attacked by incendiary bombs, two ammunition depot were destroyed, six police stations were attacked by unknown armed men, and the French suffered heavy losses.

The arrogant Frenchman had already lost his rationality. They started to investigate all the dangerous and suspicious people strictly, preferring to catch a thousand by mistake rather than let it go. As expected, their line of sight was affected by the Prussian.

Thanks to Pierre, who was still calm, he could immediately see through the Prussian's scheme. He knew that all of these were just smoke bomb s. Pierre continued to persevere with his judgement. As he continued to move northwards on the map, one checkpoint after another began to rapidly move northwards. The big net that was trapping Xiao Letian was about to capture him.

”Xie Lifu, my old friend, I wonder if you have heard any information that was sent from the hamburger? Right now, there was a very bizarre piece of news circulating around hamburger. Bismark actually picked a group of Mercenaries from the east? ”I don't know what you think, but I believe there's a 90% chance that this rumor is true …”

”I believe even more that this group of mysterious stowaways is directly related to these Eastern Mercenaries s … ”Right, this is the place. Twenty kilometers north of Dijon, give me three more temporary sentry posts, and investigate all pedestrians …”

”I have a feeling that the big fish will fall into my trap!” She raised her head and took another gulp of wine, but this time she was getting calmer and calmer.
