Joseph arrived in Paris, the first thing was to go to Kano.
Entering the building of the Ministry of War, Joseph went straight to Kano’s office along the familiar road. The office door was hidden, and Joseph knocked gently on the door twice.
"Come in, the door is not closed." Kano's tired voice came from inside.
Joseph opened the door and yelled while walking inside:
"Lazar, I'm back, I am not surprised...Ah, Lazar, your complexion is not right... Are you sick?"
"It's okay? Just be angry with those stupid monkeys... Ah, don't talk about this, why are you suddenly back?" Kano asked with two panda eyes.
"I heard that Robespierre is dead. I thought that Paris might be a bit turbulent, and I was worried that something would happen to the institute, so I ran back without waiting for the order. Well, Lazar, you will help me in a while Send a replacement order so that I don't run back privately." Joseph pulled a chair and sat down in front of Kano.
"Joseph..." Kano's expression was rather weird, "You don't know... Ah... I can't help you, I failed to keep the institute... The institute was closed by that bunch of bad stuff! Now I really want to pull Robespierre from the grave so that he can chop off the heads of those guys!"
"The research institute is gone?" This news really exceeded Joseph's expectations. He had expected that without Robespierre's suppression, some people would jump out to show off the lower limit, and would move the institute. But he also didn't expect that these guys had such a low lower limit and moved so fast, they actually didn't use their hands to tease first, but directly...
"What's the matter?" Joseph asked quickly, and now he must understand the situation immediately and hurry up to recover the loss.
"It's not that bastard, scum!" When Kano thought of these messy things, his anger couldn't be suppressed, and he angrily threw the quill in his hand on the ground, "Scum! That group of hindering us. Scum! All should be dragged out to feed the guillotine! This period of time, they will steal more than thieves! When they see that our institute is great and great, they all ran to steal and rob..."
"Lazar, don't be excited, don't be excited,... Lazar, things have happened, now we have to recover the loss as much as possible, be calm, come, come, Lazar, drink this glass of water and talk... Joseph quickly got up and poured Kano a glass of water, and handed it over, "Lazar, it's time to drink."
Kano took the water and drank it all in one sip. He calmed down for a while, and then told Joseph about the matter in detail. Finally, he lowered his head and ended his statement with such a shame: "Joseph, I'm sorry, I couldn't keep ours. ..."
"Lazar, cheer up." Joseph said, "we still have a chance to make up for the loss. That bunch of scum is scum! You can't get any idea for sabotage! What is the most precious research institute? Talent! Those talents , They were actually used by them to give back to the society! We have to quickly bring them back... Well, Lazar, you know, I made some money, I count, I now add up to more than ten Wan Livre, you know where you come from. You may be less here, you spend a lot of money, and then, um, then Napoleon... Damn, I also want to apologize to you, I didn’t take care of this guy, this guy is in the south , Involved in smuggling, (Joseph’s smuggling ship was given priority to Napoleon) and got more than 300,000 livres. We cooperated, brought those people back, and rebuilt our research institute and military factory in the south. At present, this is almost the way to minimize the loss."
Kano thought for a while and said: "Now it can only be like this! Joseph, you are amazing! In such a short period of time, you can calm down and immediately think of a way. In fact, you are more suitable than me to get an overview of the situation. If you were in my position..."
"Come on, Lazar." Joseph shook his head. "Are you not ignorant of me, you can't stand it, hope I can stand it?"
"Well, let's not talk about these. First deal with the immediate problem." Cano said, "Napoleon's smuggling must be carried out quickly. What is he smuggling now?"
"Of course it is caustic and saltpeter." Joseph said.
"The scale of his smuggling needs to be expanded and further expanded, because our plan will definitely cost a lot of money in the initial stage. We need more money. Well, don’t be limited to the scope of legal smuggling. Just smuggle whatever comes. What, including weapons, of course we only sell to real Americans. Anyway, if we don’t smuggle, the scum will do it!"
"In addition to Americans, we can actually sell to Indians." Joseph added.
"Okay, get ready to act!" Cano said, "Well, from the Naval Research Institute, quickly let Napoleon control it, lest those guys reach out. There are valuable things there!"
"I told him before I came." Joseph said.
"Well, then we don't waste time. I suggest that we can divide the labor like this. First of all, are your money ready?" Kano asked.
"About three hundred thousand livres are ready." Joseph replied.
"Very well, if you can trust me. You give me one hundred and twenty thousand livres, and I still have eighty thousand livres here. I immediately go to La Paz and try to buy the Naval Research Institute immediately." Nuo said, "As for the personnel, I have a roster of all the personnel here, but these people are now scattered. It takes time to find them one by one. As for you... It's a pity, Joseph, if you can change Two are enough. I can let one of you go back to Toulon, the Institute of Stability, and the other here to help me with some things." Kano said with a frown.
Joseph knows why Cano frowned, because things in Paris involve running around and walking through the back door. Kano is really a little bit shameless to do this kind of thing, so it would be great if Joseph could do something like this instead of him in Paris. But he was also worried about whether there would be any loss in Toulon without Joseph.
"Many things in Paris do not actually require us to come forward in person." Joseph said, "Lazar, there is someone who can be our white glove."
"Who?" Kano asked.
"Joseph Foucher. I heard what you just said, this guy is in a bad situation now. I think he should be willing to help us." Joseph replied.
"I know your impression of this person is not very good." Seeing Kano frowned, Joseph knew that he had a bad view of Fouché, so he said, "But Fouché is still very capable. Including the things of finding people, going through the back door, and letting him do it, um, Lazar, I don’t underestimate your talents, but different people are suitable for different things. I think Fouché does these things efficiently. Will be much taller than you."
Kano nodded. Although he is a little proud and stubborn, he is not the kind of person who closes his eyes and does not recognize the reality of the world: "You are right, Joseph, these things are indeed more suitable for Foucher than me. However, I was still a little worried. Do you know? Soon after Robespierre's fall, Fouché came to me-I was still in the National Salvation Committee. He pointed out that at that time. I may face the danger, I hope to join hands with me. But I rejected him, do you know why?"
Before Joseph could answer, Kano continued: "Because I'm a little afraid of him. This guy did a great job in bringing down Robespierre. He is too good at those conspiracies. Robespierre He said that he is a poisonous snake, which is all right. If he is allowed to stand firm on the top, I am worried that he will be more terrible than Robespierre if he is not done well. I think that La Paz and others are so intentional Suppressing him, there may not be such an idea. But I did not expect that there is no need for Fouché, La Paz and the others will directly make it more terrible than Robespierre..."
Hearing this, Joseph could not help but remembered the comment of Mrs. Wang from the ancients he saw when he watched "Dream of Red Mansions" in his previous life: "You cannot be talented. If a person is talented and self-reliant on his talent, he must kill more; Don't be incapable of being incompetent. If you are incapable of using your talents, you will kill more people." Now I look at it by contrast, and this is really justified.
"Because he is dangerous ~EbookFREE.me~, it is better to put him under our noses. Lazar, do you know where to find him?" Joseph said.
"Well, this also makes sense." Kano nodded, "I know where he lives. After get off work, shall we go find him together?"
"Okay." Joseph nodded.
At the end of get off work time, Kano and Joseph got into a carriage together and took a dozen cavalry to the Saint-Antoine district.
The Saint-Antoine district is the largest slum district in Paris. The streets are narrow and chaotic. Especially in these days, because of the soaring prices, the life of the people at the bottom has become more difficult, so the security in these places has naturally become more and more chaotic. A stable person like Joseph, without a few people, really dare not come here.
The carriage stopped outside a crooked laneway. Fouché’s residence was in this lane, but the carriage could no longer get in.
Joseph and Kano got out of the car, Joseph put his hand under his jacket and held the handle of the musket hidden there. The cavalry also got off their horses, and surrounded Joseph and Cano to walk into the lane.
Walking for a while along the roadway with cross-flow of sewage, I came to a crooked, dilapidated house. A soldier leading the way said: "That's it here."
Joseph nodded, glanced at Kano, then stepped forward and knocked on the door.
