Chapter 1578 Life and Death Sniper (8)

Georgiana finally understood why Napoleoni didn't like to attend the Institute of Political Science at the Collège de France.

So many scholars have been arguing for a long time, but they can't see it clearly as a slave without formal education. Just like fresh water and salt water, although they are both water, because the density of salt water is greater than that of fresh water, fresh water floats on salt water.

The baselines and benchmarks for "equality" are different. The slave owners in Saint-Domingue would never want to be equal to the "untouchables" living in the slums of Paris. When a certain group's survival is a problem, life is humble enough.

When talking about "respectability", the word "decent" has become luxury. These people's clothes are very dirty and shabby, and their living environment is also very bad, because they are eager to get out of here. When they see rich people passing by, the expression in their eyes is not envy.

But it was a greedy gaze. If it weren't for the sword in Feigel's hand, Georgiana would have probably robbed her.

Fantine in Les Misérables finally ended up here, with narrow and dark alleys, muddy roads, and excrement that would fall from the sky at any time. The only few people who were dressed in slightly brighter clothes were also dressed as criminals. They were in a family.

In front of the door, the residents inside were urged to pay back their money, and there was a lot of crying and shouting inside.

People who want to borrow money at usurious rates are sometimes forced to do so, and this is true for individuals as well as for countries. England can issue treasury bonds with an interest rate of 3%, but sells more than French treasury bonds with an interest rate of 5%. This is because the UK has never failed to pay back money and has a high credit rating.

Naturally, it is convenient to borrow money.

The Bank of France has a "debt repayment" treasury, and those who bought French national debt can get compensation from there. As for those who bought real estate in Saint-Domingue, they had to lose everything, such as Seju, Alexandre Dumas's father Lao Zhong

Ma, and Michel's father Robert Chan.

What slave owners want is equality with the aristocracy, but it is a pity that people who have seen the sun can no longer endure the darkness. Most people who know what freedom is like will not go back to be slaves. Slave owners

The foundation of rule and wealth acquisition was shaken, and they were shaken by themselves. They were like a child standing on a shaky tiptoe, trying to touch it on the top of the cabinet. The parents were afraid that it would damage their teeth.

Put the candies so high on purpose that he will fall to the ground before he hits the candy jar.

Once Saint-Domingue becomes independent, the new government will inevitably use those planters as sacrifices. Firstly, it can consolidate the new government's "just" status. Secondly, it can divide their property, housing and land to those who participated in the uprising.

, during the French Revolution, the properties of the church and the nobility were confiscated and auctioned.

There is slavery in the United States, but currently there are more free people than slaves, and they also have armies and firearms. The guns of Saint-Domingue are in the hands of generals who were born as slaves.

Not only will slave owners not get the "equality" they dream of, but they will also risk their own lives. However, people are all gambling, and as long as the government forces win, they can regain everything in the past.

A person's choice determines his happiness. There will be some people who choose to continue to be slaves because they are greedy for a comfortable life. Free workers work more than ten hours a day and live in poverty. They can't even eat bread and fruits. But in the more merciful countries,

The slave owners worked 9 hours a day and provided food and accommodation, dried meat and fruits to eat. They lived a much more comfortable life than those living in the slums.

"Ma'am, there he is!" Gobert's colleague from the intelligence company said, pointing into the distance.

Her contact person seemed to have just come out of a homeless tavern. A man wearing an old vest, old leather boots and a relatively neat shirt was seeing him off. This outfit would be frowned upon in a wealthy area, but many people here

Where barefoot is considered a "respectable person".

Georgiana did not disturb Gobert, but his colleague later ran over to call him.

Gobert quickly shifted his attention to Georgiana.

Georgiana took Figel to a windowless alley, and soon Gobert came over.

"Go find someone for me." Georgiana said. "He served in Egypt before. His name is Alexandre Dumas."

"What are you looking for him for?" Gobert asked.

"I heard that he asked Leon for help?"

"He wrote a letter to the Führer saying that the army owed him military pay, which was not a small sum for a desperate man," Goebel said.

Georgiana had nothing to say.

This is another person who loves to open letters.

"You know he's there?"

"He sold his house in Paris and has now moved to the countryside in Villecotry," Gobert said.

"How much does he want?" asked Georgiana.

"Two thousand francs."

"You're not going to give it to him?"

Gobert stared at her strangely.

"How is Poitevin doing in Spain?" she asked, avoiding his eyes.

"General Junod didn't believe him. Now he and Sophie live a leisurely life in Madrid. They are married." Gobert said. "Catrin-Dominique de Perignon retired because of a head injury, but he

He is familiar with the customs and customs of Spain, and now as a special representative, he stays in Madrid to assist Juno."

"Two guys with head injuries serving as ambassadors in Spain? Sounds great," Georgiana teased.

"That's all you want to tell me?" Gobert asked.

"Do you know what the conflict is between Alexandre Dumas and Leon?"

Gobert was silent for a while and then said, "It was about the suppression of the Cairo riots in 1798. General Dumas did not support the way the head of state dealt with it, so he refused to execute the order, so the head of state dismissed him from the military."

"No wonder he said not to mention that person," Georgiana whispered.

"Why don't you be honest and ask me that question directly." Gobert said rudely, "You are here to see what I did with the 600,000 francs you gave me?"

Georgiana said nothing.

"Isn't this why you came all the way here?" Gobert sneered, "This is not a place a lady should come to."

"What are you doing here?" she asked directly.

"Led by Joseph's confidant Rodray, Fouche was removed from his post and the power of the police department was transferred to the Ministry of Justice under the control of Chancellor Rainier, who left behind a vast intelligence network that required millions of francs a year to keep secrets

To maintain it, it has been divided into several pieces, and I plan to buy one of them for 600,000 francs."

"You are playing a very dangerous game," Georgiana whispered.

"I know." Gobert said calmly, "But I have no family, and I have nothing to lose."

Georgiana was stunned.

"Are you scared?"

Don't trust the spies who collect information in the tavern, and don't trust the king who would abandon his capital.

"I heard Poitevin said he planned to do smuggling. Have you two found anyone to partner with?"

"No," Gobert said.

"I don't want to get involved in this matter. If the anti-smuggling police catch you, I won't help you."

Gobert said nothing.

"Do you have a gun?" Georgiana asked.

"No."

"I will get you a gun license and find Fournier. A living person will not disappear out of thin air." She said with a cold face.

"There are many people looking for him, and he will be arrested soon." Gobert said casually.

"Didn't you understand what I said? Any attempt to subvert the republic is not allowed. You can use extraordinary means if necessary. Fournier's case happened during the referendum and Fouche handled it in a low-key manner. You must try your best to

Let Fournier surrender and don't let him be bribed by the royalists and Jacobins. If he attacks you, you can fight back with the gun I got you. Protect yourself and make good use of the money you bought.

Those spies, they can’t just collect money and not work.” Georgiana said, “Send another 2,000 francs to Alexandre Dumas, and you can go there in person.”

"Why?"

"The three-year constitution of the Republic stipulates that the Republic cannot be divided. Anyone who attempts to separate Saint-Domingue will be tried by the people's court. The new Governor of Saint-Domingue has the power to approve the death penalty. I need

A fair, honest and virtuous man, if Alexandre Dumas is a man who is blind to money..."

"He has a family to support." Gobert interrupted her. "You also plan to imitate Robespierre and implement a reign of terror in Saint-Domingue?"

"Think about it, Gobert, if you don't use iron fist, how can you restore order in Saint-Domingue?" Georgiana said coldly, "That's why republicans are not reused."

"I don't understand..." Gobert asked confused.

"You are a human being, Gobert. Don't be like mud. You are engaged in a very honorable profession and you are protecting homeland security in another way."

Gobert was stunned.

"You, like her, are the defenders of the Republic." Georgiana pointed at Figel and said, "You must have a mission in your heart to bring order and justice to this land."

"You are very good at speaking." Gobert said expressionlessly, "But do you bring justice and order to France?"

"I don't know, Gobert, the scene hasn't ended yet. We won't know until after it ends." Georgiana said, "You also suspect that I am a British spy?"

"I really want to know what can be done to make you completely loyal to France. The Scottish engineer you introduced has already become a French citizen."

"Do as I just told you," said Georgiana, and left the alley.

She didn't go far when she couldn't help laughing.

She really hoped someone could see if her behavior just now looked like Mrs. M, 007's boss.
