Chapter 23 The fog over London (7)

Captain Ross obviously didn't quite understand Nelson's words. He nodded slightly out of recognition of his boss' character, and then said: "General, there may not be another confrontation. The cabinet has agreed to get rid of the butcher, no, it's Andrew." Captain Ross reiterated the Oriental.

"Ha, you are too naive. My adjutant, Andrew, is not so easy to deal with. According to the information I just learned, the remaining French nobles also planned a carefully planned assassination operation, but the result was that the entire army was wiped out. None of them escaped alive. Tani, the French nobleman who had studied with you, the major guard of Louis 16, and the commander of the assassination operation, also died at Andrew's hands." Nelson said.

"Then, how can you defeat that Andrew?" Captain Ross asked, not because he was sad for the school year, but because he was anxious for the interests of the country.

"Haha, we will discuss this topic later. You should talk about what General Andrew is busy with." Nelson smiled and pulled the topic away.

"Of course, I'm rushing to Paris and accepting a new appointment." Ross replied without hesitation.

"This is just the surface. His main purpose of returning to Paris is to choose his own power. I am a soldier and not a politician. From the conversation with your father, I learned that Andrew seemed to have both. We have learned in military terms. In politics, his actions were even more extraordinary. He used victory to cater to the poor. He won over Dandong and others. He used a lot of money to bribe members of Congress. He treated all the rebels with cruel massacre. Therefore, the power in Paris only cared for this Oriental comrade.

Double, at least for now, his military rank is higher than mine now." Nelson said, feeling a little bitter here, and continued the topic: "And my intuition told myself that Andrew's energy has not been completely released, and no half has been achieved. If no accidents occur, the fate of France will be combined with the yellow-skinned general in the near future. At that time, a more terrifying revolutionary war will create the collapse of the entire European monarchy, and may also include Britain."

"How can I defeat that Andrew?" Ross said the thoughts in his heart again.

"Defeat? How to fight? This is not a simple military confrontation, but a comprehensive exercise of politics, economy and military strength among countries. I don't understand politics and economy, that's what politicians are worried about. But in military terms, is it the British Empire army going ashore or waiting for Andrew to lead troops into the sea. The former is not very reliable. It is not that the Wang Navy slandered the British Army, it is that they themselves do not have this ability, nor is it the established national policy of the cabinet. There is no good commander yet, Wellington? That Playboy

Zi seemed good, but he was still obsessed with the luxury of India; the latter was even more impossible. France's elite fleet had been wiped out in Toulon. For at least five years, a huge fleet that threatened the interests of Britain could not be built. Andrew would not act as a fool. Of course, he understood the absolute strength of the British Royal Fleet at sea. It could completely fight against the joint fleet organized by countries in the continent of Europe." Nelson said, and his confident tone also made the adjutant feel the supreme glory of being a naval officer.

"Isn't this a fight?" Captain Ross asked strangely after hearing the general's statement.

"Haha, of course we have to fight, otherwise, the honor of the Wang Navy and Nelson's reputation will not be gone. More importantly, Britain's interests on the European continent cannot be monopolized by the French. However, before this war, we must be prepared, fully and carefully understand the enemy, and understand the mysterious Oriental man, and someone needs to be..." He stopped here, and Nelson stared at his adjutant, as if he was looking forward to something.

"For national interests and military honor, Ross obeys any orders of the General!" Captain Ross noticed General Nelson's voice-over and said extremely firmly.

"Okay! You are proficient in French, studied in France, are familiar with local things, and have registered members with the Jacobins, sympathized with the French Revolution. Therefore, after my secret discussion with your father, I decided to send you to perform this very important task, which is to go to Paris, get in close contact with Andrew, record his words and actions in detail, understand his inner thoughts, strategies and tactics, find out his weaknesses and flaws, and try to make friends with him as much as possible and become his good friends. Before the next battle between Britain and France, we should try our best to ensure the safety of General Andrew and prevent him from being by any politician or assassin.

The harm will be long. This period will be relatively long. 6 months, 1 year or 3 or 5 years. During this period, you must become a sympathizer of the French Revolution again. Of course, deep down in your heart, British interests are above everything else. When lurking in France, I will send someone to keep a single line of contact with you, and you are not allowed to continue to communicate with your family, friends and couples. The task is arduous and full of danger. You are facing the threat of death at any time, or even the spy sent by the kingdom. Can you accept it?" Nelson said his true thoughts after conspiring with the Minister of the Navy, which was also something hesitant just now.

"No problem. Actually, I also want to really know the Oriental people that the general advocates, when will they set off?" Captain Ross replied without hesitation.

"Just tomorrow, the new commander of the Mediterranean Fleet left Britain, and then found an opportunity to sneak into France secretly. Then, you took this token and a note. The token was used when you were looking for Mr. Gandufle of Paris. He was a Swiss banker and a businessman protected by the British Empire. He has been engaged in speculative business in France in recent years and has maintained close contact with many members of Congress. With this token, you can get his full help; in addition, the note records his contact information and immediately destroyed after reading it." As he said, Nelson handed the two things to Rose.

After memorizing it twice, Rose rubbed the note, swallowed it into his stomach, and kept the token, a not-so-special old French silver coin in his arms, and asked casually: "Can I absolutely believe that banker?"

"Well, absolutely, he is the highest intelligence liaison officer sent to France by Britain. Most of the various French information we have is derived from his transmission channels, not to mention that Ganduflai is your father's brother and your uncle..."
