C465 intelligence officer Pierre (2/2)

The sailors, seeing that they could not wake him by kicking him, had to carry him out themselves, and at the same moment a waxed roll was thrown into Pierre's shirt.

Pierre was thrown onto his hammock, and the people who lived with him were Dragon Lord, Sima Yun and Xiao Hexin, whose knees were injured. However, at this time, Dragon Lord and Sima Yun were all on the deck watching the scenery of the foreign land.

The door was closed, and Pierre was snoring loudly for five minutes, when the Frenchman suddenly opened his eyes like a ghost. There was no sign of drunkenness in them.

”The English version of Hamlet? Can you understand it? There are a lot of ancient English words in there! ”

”Not bad, the general meaning is understandable. If I really don't understand it, I can ask the British captain and first mate!”

”Oh, God! Have you really learned English for more than two years? ”Then you are truly a genius …” Pierre and Xiao Hexin were talking about literature, but their hands were not idle. The wax paper had been crushed, and the two of them memorized all the information inside with a glance.

After reciting it three times in silence, Pierre finally put the scroll into his mouth and chewed on it with all his might. ”Oh …” ”Mister Xiao, the beef jerky you left behind is really too hard. Give me a mouthful to drink …”

After gulping down three mouthfuls of beer, Pierre managed to swallow the horrible roll of paper. He then said in a low voice, ”I didn't expect the situation in East Asia to be so serious. Give me three hours. You can go see the lord now and we will analyze it together …”

After saying that, Pierre acted like a drunkard again, opened the cabin door, and walked out, just in time to bump into the two English sailors he had ”encountered.”

”You … Why did you bump into me... Go away, don't stand in my way, I'm going... ”Go to the deck and bask in the sun …” With that, he left.

At this time, Xiao Hexin who was holding onto a crutch walked out. ”I'm very sorry, Sir. Pierre was drunk, I apologised on his behalf …”

”Oh, it's alright. Is Mister Xiao going to bask in the sun too?” the two sailors asked enthusiastically.

”No, I'm going to go play chess with our Prime Minister. It's such a nice day... Oh, if it's not too much trouble, would you two please send us a piece of tropical fruit? I heard that the fruits in the Sri Lanka are very delicious … ”

As he spoke, Xiao Hexin took out two pound notes from his pocket and stuffed it into the sailor's pocket. Xiao Hexin was an important military officer on the merchant ship, his status was much higher than the two sailors. Giving him a tip was not really an insult.

Each pound could be exchanged for close to 8 grams of gold. If Xiao Hexin were to sell it for 16 grams of gold, it would not be hard to calculate how many things he could buy.

Although the two sailors had complicated identities, they would not reject the chance to get something out of their hands. Without saying a word, they nodded and walked out, Xiao Hexin quickly went to see Xiao Letian.

”My lord, the Prussian intelligence personnel is indeed powerful. All the intelligence in East Asia has been gathered. This bunch of darned Frenchmen have started massacring the civilians …”

Xiao Hexin lowered his voice and started to retell the details of the information one by one, while Ping Er and Hu Niu started to sing a few European operas to cover for the conversation.

Xiao Letian's expression became more and more serious. This piece of information was only released on the first day of the battle, and although it was not complete, it gave people a sense of the severity of the situation.

The rumours flew all over East Asia, and all the people above level 8 thought that Xiao Letian had already died. The morale of the troops were already at its peak, and with the help of the French Fleet's tactical expertise, they managed to establish a landing spot for the Guotou Village in the first battle. This made all the analysts feel that it was even more pessimistic.

Xiao Hexin took 10 minutes to finish recounting the information. In the end, he said anxiously, ”The Prussians hope that you do not advance, the situation in East Asia is extremely dangerous, if you return and the Ryukyu is lost, all the enemies will attack you together. You will be in danger of losing your life!”

Xiao Letian did not answer immediately. He knew what the Prussian meant, if he turned back to Europe now, under the protection of the United States and Prussia, he would be treated very well, even becoming a political advisor in the wilderness.

Being able to keep his life and have some growth in his career was a promise made by Prussia. Xiao Letian did not doubt this promise at all.

If Xiao Letian insisted on returning to the Ryukyu, then things would not be so good. If the Ryukyu was already defeated, the French navy would naturally seal off the ocean. At that time, not even the Americans would be able to face the French directly.

Furthermore, the arch-enemies within the Qing Dynasty would not let go of this chance to beat a drowning dog. At that time, they would definitely roll up their sleeves and personally go up to battle.
