"Your Excellency, we are indeed preparing to negotiate trade in Stavropol, but I still have an identity"

"Oh?"

"Do you know Schwarsel?"

"Isn't he the Prime Minister of your country?"

"Unfortunately, he was just dismissed by the king"

"Why?"

"I don't know much about this, but I'm honored that Your Excellency Shuvasel trusts me very much, and he asked me to bring a message to the king of your country"

"How do I trust you?"

"This..., well, there is a herald from the Shuvasel family in my jacket liner. The herald is made of gold and has been passed down for more than a hundred years. The Herald of Shuvasel has never left her. Your country's Minister of Bayar and Ambassador Yesmu should know and see it"

"Well, I'll take you to see Lord Yesmu, but what I want to know is when did the men in black leave and how many of them?"

"You left an hour before you came in. There were more than a dozen people who came to this cave. When they came, they avoided the avenue and walked on the mountain paths, so..."

"What do they all look like? Who do you think they are?"

"It should be an Islamist, and he looks similar to the Caucasians here"

....

Omubu took the three people out of the cave. After returning to Stavropol, Yesmu also confirmed that the family emblem that Etienne Schwarser was often worn by Athos.

Because of Etienne's relationship, Truchen has always had a good relationship with France, because the former Governor of East India Du Bres was also Etienne's man. Now he was suddenly dismissed by Louis XV, which obviously affects the relationship between the two countries, so Yesmu brought him to Rostov.

Shen Muhua from Cuban City dispatched a mountain camp to start a comprehensive search near Goria City.

....

Rostov.

The war has been going on for almost a month.

The scene is a little distance from what Qitad imagined.

With the help of the scheming Minnech, Peter III did not arrange a large number of serf soldiers to consume the Truchens' ammunition from the beginning.

In addition to using tunnel excavation, they did not deploy much attacking troops every day. So after a month, the Truchens consumed a lot of ammunition, but his army only suffered less than 10,000 casualties.

This is completely within an affordable range for Peter III.

Qitad also knows what they think.

"It's just waiting for the rear, the second line of defense, the regular army and serf soldiers near Moscow arrived in large numbers"

"But they will not abandon Moscow and the ones they can mobilize are the serf soldiers in the forest area. According to the information from our country's Intelligence Bureau, they can mobilize at least 50,000 serf soldiers in Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod and Yaroslavl"

"I guess I'm on the road right now"

"My ammunition and grain supply in our country can be transported here continuously through the city of Batsque opposite the Don River. What role can these 50,000 serf soldiers play if they come?"

....

In early April, the earth officially woke up from the freezing.

The Don River and the Sea of ​​Azov are also thawing rapidly.

At this time, Yesmu also brought Athos to Rostov.

King's tent.

The king took all the people out and met Athos alone.

Today, Qitade only wore an ordinary winter uniform of the Truqin general, made of yellow-brown wool velvet. If it was colder, a woolen coat would be added outside. Although the temperature has not yet risen to a comfortable level, the coat obviously does not need to be put on again.

Since it was a tent, Qitade could not have moved tables, chairs and other things that he had used to. In front of him was a small square table with some documents and a cup of steaming coffee. He sat cross-legged behind him and stared at the man opposite him in a daze.

Athos was dressed in a typical French aristocrat, with a boat-shaped hat, a black coat, a white top and tight trousers, and a pair of calfskin boots on his feet, with a bow tied on it.

He sat on a stool, holding a cup of coffee that Harach made for him.

It's strange that Athos was not afraid of Qitad's eyes, but looked at him with the same gaze.

Qitade is forty-one years old this year, and there is no trace of the carvings of time on his face. Apart from the neatly trimmed beard on his lips, his face is slightly thin, with a prominent outline, and his eyes are quiet and shining.

"Do you know why I stared at you?"

"I know, it's probably because of my skin color"

"Can you talk?"

Athos thought to himself: "When he saw me, this person didn't ask Etienne's message immediately, but instead came to talk about these useless people. He is really a calm person."

"Of course," he said, "Although my family also has a foreign trade industry, in most cases, I don't have to come forward in person, but my housekeeper..."

"That Claude?"

“Yes”

"I am a devout monk who likes to pray in the darkness. Only then can I realize the existence of God. I invested in the building of a monastery on the hills near Ausselle, which was isolated from the world, and I actually spent much more time there than outside"

"Well, you can now tell the message from His Excellency Etienne"

"Okay, your Majesty. But before I speak out the message of Your Excellency Etienne, one thing I need to explain, this matter is not a glorious thing for our country. You probably already know that the reason why Your Excellency Etienne was deeply trusted by the king was because of Madame Pompadour"

"After Madame Pompadou's death a few years ago, the status of His Excellency Etienne was much worse than before. Nowadays, Mrs. Dubari is the one who can influence the king, and His Excellency Etienne is obviously not very harmonious with her"

"But Mrs. Dubari has a great appreciation for the cosmetic kits produced in your country, which is one thing"

"In addition, unfortunately, our king seems to have contracted smallpox. Although his condition is not serious, it is a terrible thing after all"

"Looking at the world, it seems that only your country can truly cure smallpox"

"So, the message that Your Excellency Etienne asked me to bring is..."

“＊x&*$……”

"What do you say? I can't hear clearly"

"Your Majesty, OK, I'll sit closer"

"His Excellency Etienne's message is, 'The king seems to have become more and more enthusiastic recently. This is obviously not good for your country and not good for me. I was dismissed by the king because I supported the recovery of North American colonies from the British as soon as possible. Please support me for 500,000 Ducart to bribe Mrs. Dubari'"

"You..., ah!"

Athos took advantage of the opportunity to approach Qitad and suddenly took out a thin and long knife from the bottom of his boot, and suddenly burst out with lightning-like speed that was inconsistent with his body that seemed a little weak!

Qitad fell.

....

White tills rose in Qitade's camp!

There were also cries from time to time in the camp. At first, it was a small array, but in the end it spread throughout the camp!

The crying sounded for dozens of miles!

The news soon reached Peter III's camp.

Peter III's command was obviously not as simple as Chittad. He lived in a manor outside the city and sat by the fireplace to hold a meeting.

Minnech, Spiden, Salticov, Goldz, Stoybn and others are all here.

It was obvious that it was the secret police chief Spiden just finished reporting, and Peter III all looked excited.

Except Minneh.

The leader of the Guards, Stoybn, a Prussian, had poured a glass of brandy for each person. Peter III had already finished the cup, and the second one in his hand was already there.

Peter III raised his wine glass, and the exquisite glass from Bavaria shone with strange brilliance under the fireplace fire.

"My dear old marshal, please speak your concerns for God's sake"

Minnech hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, everyone, is the news of Qitad's assassination true? This matter is still uncertain."

Peter III shook his head, and he looked at Spidon: "Tell me"

Spiden nodded, "You have also seen the battle in the past month. Our country has almost lost a division's strength, while the Truchens' losses are minimal"

"But other large army in our country is accumulating, Truchen has the CIA, I believe that it will not be unaware of this. Their firepower is obviously superior, and it will soon be a wet, cold, muddy rainy season. For them, it is not cost-effective to confront our country under the city of Rostov for a long time."

"It is best to defeat us with all our might before our new wave of troops arrives"

"If Qitad was not assassinated, but pretended to be like this, let's see what the benefits are"

"First, from our perspective, because of the assassin's identity, even if they can think of us, they won't think too much"

"Because the assassins are at least French on the surface, the French actually assassinated the Truchens. Whether or not Qitad was assassinated or not, it would have a great shock to them."

"If Europe's only true ally also leaves them, you can imagine their shock and disappointment"

"Second, they would not know that the coalition forces of Prussia, Austria, Britain and Denmark have been waiting there for a long time, of course, the leaders of these countries obviously do not know about the assassin"

"So, taking this opportunity to invade Ukraine and then siege the Truchen army, which was still in Vinnica, was naturally confronted by the Austrian coalition."

"According to the secret agreement between our country and other countries, once this war is over, the entire Polish Kingdom will be completely divided up"

"Prussia has completely obtained Silesia, the west bank of the Vistula River, and our country has obtained the east bank of the Vistula River and the entire Ukraine"

"The British and Danes got several ports in the Baltic Sea. Of course, the British obviously took revenge"

"The real situation of the assassin is unknown to these countries, so they will not think that Qitad is pretending to be dead"

"Qitad, what a smart man, don't he know this? He still had to take risks and deliberately attract the army in Lviv and Lublin. Does he really believe in his Techi's army so much?"

"Impossible, completely impossible. Besides, the serf soldiers mobilized by our country in Kirov, Perm, Kazan and Ufa are also heading south, and they only have one division near Orenburg. With one division from Ulianghai, they will definitely not be able to withstand the 50,000 serf soldiers in this direction in our country"

“What is the most critical now?”

"Qitad wanted to use his superior firepower to consume us a lot, but he was seen through by the Grand Marshal. As time goes by, our country's army will gather more and more, which is not good for them. If I were Qiitad, I would completely defeat our country's army before the official arrival of spring."

"But the problem is that they don't want to fight our army in the wild, they just want to rely on the trenches to consume us"

"Also, once the Azov Sea is frozen, the secret fleet that our country has deployed in Taganrog Bay should come in handy. Most of the time, Qitad knew about this, but he still dragged it to the present."

"There is no better explanation except that he is really dead"
