2811 Sold the master

As the base camp of the French emperor, there are more than one telegraph machines here, with a total of 25 telegraph machines performing their own duties and sending and receiving important military information from different regions.

The least conspicuous one in the corner is actually the highest level, because this telegraph machine connects to the imperial intelligence department, and all spies' operations are transmitted through this telegraph machine.

The operator handed over the coded message to a special decipher. When the top-secret message gradually turned into a string of French words, the decipher's face turned pale and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

"God...O God!"

As soon as he screamed, he blocked his mouth with his hands. After looking at him, no one on the left and right, the intelligence officer quickly ran to the prince's side.

"Your Highness! Major intelligence! Berlin sent great intelligence..."

Prince Eugen snatched the telegraph and just glanced at him and became dumbfounded, "This...is this...is this true?"

"I don't know either. Anyway, all the code words of this password telegram are in line with each other. The six code words can only be known by the highest-level spies..."

"Even if the Prussians can detect one or two code words through channels, it is impossible to detect six!"

"And...and how could the Prussians use this man as bait? Besmer definitely dare not!"

Prince Eu Ren suddenly reached out and blocked his mouth, "Don't say it, forget all this immediately..." After that, the prince turned his head and walked straight to the lobby of the city council.

Pushing open the door of the conference room of the city hall, the prince suddenly shouted loudly regardless of the eyes of the people around him, "All commanders below the military level at the scene will withdraw..."

"All the stenographers also withdraw, and everyone's secretary and adjutant withdraw!"

"What are you doing when you stand there! Execute the order! Immediately!"

Never saw the prince so harshly, his eyes were like fire-breathing, and everyone who was targeted by him quickly packed up and left the conference room.

In the end, only Marshal McMahon, Marshal Bazan, Marshal Lebuff, Chief of Staff and the Supreme Military Leadership Group, were left in the conference room.

Chief of Staff Lebuff rubbed his numb temples, "Your Highness, what happened? We have no time to delay. This morning the vanguard of Prussia had exchanged fire with our defensive forces. They are constantly increasing their troops..."

"I know, please give me some time...Father, all the loyal marshals and generals of the empire! Berlin sent important information..."

Prince Eu Ren obviously felt his voice trembling. Such a disobedient behavior made the Emperor, who had endured the pain in his appetite, raise his head.

The crown prince put the telegram on the table, "Father! Our intelligence officer in Berlin has contacted Emperor Tongzhi! That little emperor offered a offer... He has our important information in his hand!"

"What? Emperor Tongzhi had contact with our people? What did he say..."

"Emperor Tongzhi offered 20 million gold francs in cash, and there were also a large amount of lost treasures from the Qing Dynasty! As long as we could agree to his conditions, he would have the important information we needed..."

"By the way, he wants another steel plant! After the war is over, we need France to fund a steel plant!"

"There is absolutely no problem with intelligence. The Prussians cannot use the emperor of the Qing Dynasty as bait! Moreover, the spies sent this time are the highest-level in our system, and all the six code words are in line with each other!"

With a bang, whispering sounds came from the conference room. Marshal Bazan said quietly, "Didn't there be any specific information? Could it be Prussia's strategic deployment map?"

"What if Emperor Tongzhi wants to blackmail us? If we don't see the goods, how can we promise him?"

Marshal McMahon shook his head, "I feel like there is a way, listen, he asked France to give a steel factory after the war... In other words, the information he gave must be able to reverse the situation!"

"Otherwise he wouldn't have spoken so much! I've never heard of blackmailing and forward futures!"

The Emperor endured the pain of his appetite and looked at his son and said, "What do you mean? I want to hear what you mean..."

"Father! We have no choice now. We can play a bet of more than 20 million yuan! As long as we overcome this difficulty, we can earn ten or a hundred times from the Qing Dynasty trade in the future!"

"My opinion is to take a gamble!"

"Okay! Then call back immediately, let's bet this, let's see who can use the emperor of the Qing Dynasty as bait?"

The crown prince didn't need his subordinates, and ran all the way to the telegraph room, and left and right. A group of soldiers from the prince's guard built a wall of human beings with their bodies, and isolated other transmitters.

Just in the corner, the crown prince sent the latest instructions to the female spy in Berlin!

"I go to the conference room and send it to you immediately if there is a call back... During this period of time, no one can get close to here and dare to spy on it... Kill without mercy!"

The Emperor of the Dharma and his son and several marshals and generals never felt that time was so difficult to survive. Everyone's hearts were like grass growing, either looking at the pocket watch or the door of the conference room.

One minute, two minutes, five minutes...A full eight minutes passed, just as the person in the room was about to lose patience, the door was suddenly knocked open, and the decipher rushed in like the wind.

The telegram he held in his hand was his life, and he raised it high above his head!

"Return...Return...God bless the Empire...Return..."

"Damn it! Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and take it...what happened?"

The prince snatched the telegram and took a look, and his feet became weak and almost fell to the ground. If the commander Frosard beside him hadn't been helping him with quick eyes, the prince would have really kneeled down.

"Father... Emperor Tongzhi... Emperor Tongzhi sold his teacher... his teacher Xiao Letian!"

"At this moment, Xiao Letian is not in France and is not with the Prussian army... Xiao Letian is in Belgium..."

"Hahaha... God bless us... Xiao Letian is just north of Sedang... The small town on the south bank of Semuwa River... is only fifteen kilometers away from Sedang!"

When the Emperor heard this, he stood up from his seat!

"What did you say? Xiao Lotte is in Belgium? How many troops are there around him?"

"There are not many, only his own guard. It is estimated that Belgium will provide certain military protection, but there will be not many..."

"Father! The opportunity is here, send cavalry! As long as we can capture Xiao Letian alive, we will have room for negotiation!"

"Even if Prussia gave up Xiao Letian's life, this victory can still stabilize the hearts of the people in Paris!"

"Kill Xiao Letian and capture him alive! We can bring the situation back from the brink of the Great Revolution!"

"The morale of the military and civilians has been boosted!"

The entire conference room was full of excitement. Everyone said excitedly, "That's right! Use the lives of these Chinese people to stabilize our morale and morale! This is the only way now!"
