"That damn old man has quite a few plans against me, but the basic method is to make Madame Du Barry have some confidence in King Louis, and to use his bastards to slander and attack me."

Lawrence could probably guess these methods. After all, Duke Richelieu's focus must be on Louis XV within the palace, so the methods used basically had nothing to do with political methods.

However, this time the English Ambassador to France actually joined the Duke of Richelieu, which still made Lawrence vaguely aware that something was wrong:

"That may be the case, but Baron Bertula doesn't have much influence on the court of Versailles, but the Duke of Richelieu takes the initiative to win over him. There must be something wrong here."

"What you said makes sense." Duke Choiseul pondered for a moment and nodded before admitting:

"But since they just got together, it means that the plan is in its infancy. We can't see any clues for the time being, so let's put it aside for now."

"But your negotiation just now surprised me. I thought you would use Pete to replace other resources. Moreover, even if it is to replace the colony, the St. Kitts Island you proposed is too conservative, right?"

Although Duke Choiseul did not understand Lawrence's approach, he still believed that Lawrence had his own plans, so he did not interfere with the negotiations between the two.

Facing Duke Choiseul's inquiry, Lawrence just smiled and said:

"I think one island of St. Kitts is enough, and even if it is such a small island, the current Corsicans are not capable of developing it."

"Oh? Then you still insist on asking for this island?"

Duke Choiseul frowned and asked:

"Even if the British issue a formal transfer agreement to transfer the sovereignty of St. Kitts to Corsica, I estimate that the Corsicans will only be able to plant a few flags on the island."

Lawrence looked up at the sky. The sunshine was already much softer than at noon. In a while, the banquet hosted by Louis XV for himself would begin.

"I'm going to see King Louis soon, so I'm a little nervous."

Lawrence suddenly smiled and said.

"Huh? King Louis? What do you mean...wait"

Duke Choiseul was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what he was doing and couldn't stop laughing and said:

"I see, that's why you specifically asked Ambassador Bertula to issue a transfer agreement immediately. This is really a good trick."

Facing Duke Choiseul's compliment, Lawrence just shrugged and said:

"I hope our King is as happy and generous as the rumors say."

See from Corsica to the Fourth Rome.
