C318 reunion on the platform (1/2)

The train to the north puffed steam, the steel wheels clanged against the rails, and in the rickety carriage Pierre was staring out through the slats at the forest and the fields.

This was a freight train that was transporting the copper ores. Inside the carriage were all high quality copper ores, and Pierre and the two Prussian intelligence officer who were protecting him were sitting on top of a pile of ores.

”Take a sip …” A intelligence officer handed over a silver flagon filled with strong whiskey. ”You didn't say a word throughout the whole trip, isn't this not like you in the information?” What, have you thought it through? ”Join us Prussians. France is good, but you've got a tyrant on your hands. Do you still want to be loyal to him?”

Pierre took the jug and took a long, deep sip. His gaze then fell on the gauze covering his wrist. A thick layer of gauze wrapped around his wrist, making it look like a pig's hand.

Pierre still did not want to speak. Along the way, after the Prussian spy had bought him from the warden for a large sum, the Prussians had invited him to join them and continue his intelligence work. But Pierre had not responded.

France was his Home Country, but everything he had encountered in the past few years was so dark and gloomy. The pursuit of the general's daughter was eventually avenged, and after seven years of hiding behind ice and snow, she finally managed to return with the help of her friends, only to encounter a troublesome Chinese opponent.

It seemed like it was a coincidence for him to be framed and be imprisoned, but there was also certainty in his actions. Under the hands of that tyrant Napoleon III, he could only succeed and not fail.

The two Prussian intelligence officer looked at each other and shook their heads. It seemed that Pierre did not want to talk anymore.

Just then, Pierre, who was observing the scenery outside through the gap in the metal plate, suddenly spoke up, ”Are we going to reach the hamburger soon? I have roughly estimated the distance between us and the carriage, and we are still on the road. I can feel that we are getting closer and closer to hamburger … ”

The two Prussian intelligence officer left excitedly, ”Yes, we will reach the hamburger in two hours. This is the hinterland of Germany, you are absolutely safe here …”

Pierre did not even look back, he just stared at the scenery outside the carriage and whispered, ”Can you tell me? How much did you spend on me? ”

intelligence officer was a little hesitant, but in the end, he still told the truth. ”When I saved you, I spent a total of 300 thousand Gold franc, half of which the Warden took away, and the other half was split between the prison police …”

”Hahaha, there's no need to say anymore. My life is not worth this price, I can't afford to pay it back …” If I'm not wrong, this money isn't from Prussia, is it? It should be that Chinese Prime Minister... ”

The two intelligence officer s immediately became embarrassed, but Pierre did not want to look at their faces at all, and continued, ”Three hundred thousand Gold franc, if it is converted into Qing Country's currency, it would be more than forty thousand silver taels, and if it is converted into a metric system, it would be fourteen hundred kilograms of silver taels … Haha, is my life really worth that much money? ”

”How much money does Prussia still have in the treasury? All those years of preparation for the war, I'm afraid? These three hundred thousand francs are enough to exchange for a new Gun for a brigade. I don't believe that Bismark would be so generous … ”Even if he wanted to, he might not have the ability to do so …”

”Only one person possessed such wealth, and that is Xiao Letian. For him to be able to become a VIP in Prussia, Bismarck definitely brought a lot of wealth with him … ”Hmm, if my analysis is correct, this wealth should enter Prussia as a loan. This amount of money is definitely not small. It might even be worth millions of silver taels …”

”Hehe …” ”You have a good plan. Spend Chinese money to recruit people for Prussia?”

Pierre's sarcasm caused the two intelligence officer s' faces to turn red. It seemed that although this French had been cheated by his own people, he still had some enmity towards Prussia from his point of view.

”Enough! Remember, although the Chinese provided funds, the one who took action was our German. Without our cooperation, you think you can be saved? ”No wonder you're so unlucky in France. Just based on your stinky mouth, everyone will probably offend you …”

Pierre said desolately, ”Yes! What right do I have to mock you? ”It's just a fallen dog, it's not worth your trouble …” After saying that, Pierre turned around and leaned against the carriage, actually closing his eyes and resting his mind.

The two intelligence officer s sighed in their hearts, as expected, it was a sorrow greater than death! The blow to Pierre this time was so great that it seemed difficult to recover.

The train continued to move forward, and the clashing sounds of the train tracks made people drowsy. Seeing Pierre who was resting with his eyes closed, two intelligence officer s walked out from the earlier anger.

Though Pierre's mouth was stinky and annoying, his skill was absolutely admirable. He seemed to have a natural talent for digging his way through the mists to find the truth, and of all the complicated intelligence he could find out the closest thing to the truth.

With just a few simple words, he had already guessed most of the secret cooperation between Xiao Letian and Prussia. If this kind of person gave him sufficient clues, he would not be able to find any secrets in this world.

”Talent, it's a pity we can't use it for ourselves in Prussia. What a pity!”
