"Corsica?" Baron Bertula was stunned for a moment and did not react.

"You should have an impression of this island, right?" Duke Richelieu nodded and asked.

"Of course." Baron Bertula frowned and gritted his teeth and said:

"It would have been England's land if nothing else happened, but it's a pity that Bonaparte... Moreover, our former Prime Minister, Lord Pitt, has been imprisoned on the island with his life and death uncertain, not to mention a Royal Navy battleship and officers and soldiers.

They are all still on the island. I can tell you privately, because the British Foreign Office is going crazy about this."

Duke Richelieu took a sip of wine silently and said calmly:

"I also heard that Bonaparte executed all the officers on the ship. I didn't expect you to be able to bear such a tone."

Baron Bertula waved his hands irritably and said:

"Of course neither the king nor the Royal Navy could bear it, but our Prime Minister still suppressed the matter. If the Royal Navy forcibly landed in Corsica, it would have played into Choiseul's hands. It is estimated that the French army and fleet would have been

It's ready. The intelligence I have even indicates that the Duke of Choiseul may have been contacting the Austrians to form an alliance."

"So you just let this matter go?" Duke Richelieu asked with a chuckle.

Baron Bertula glanced at Duke Richelieu and said helplessly:

"At present, it seems that it will be resolved through diplomatic channels, and it should be negotiated between me and that damn Governor of Corsica. However, when England is ready for war, we will bring up this matter again."

"That's right..." Duke Richelieu nodded, but didn't say anything.

Baron Bertula looked at Duke Richelieu in confusion and asked:

"Why did you mention Corsica? Are you trying to break the treaty between Duke Choiseul and Bonaparte? I think this is still very difficult. After all, King Louis has almost recognized this fact."

"No"

Duke Richelieu shook his head slowly, as if he was still hesitating whether to tell Baron Bertula about this plan. After five or six seconds, he slowly opened his mouth, but in a low voice.

Even the sound of the organ on the stage almost drowned out Duke Richelieu's words. Baron Bertula still pricked his ears to barely hear what he said:

"Don't the Duke of Choiseul want a war? We will give him a war."
