241 Free Alliance
"Campbell is dead, can you find out who did it?
Now the whole southeast of France is spreading the remarks that I am the mastermind behind the scenes. This must be the work of the anti-French alliance. No matter how you look at it, the anti-French alliance hopes that France will split again. Those French fools do not understand politics at all, so we need evidence!"
Li Wei threw a local newspaper in a large city in southeastern France on the table and looked at Manide, the director of the General Administration of Military Intelligence under his command.
"Sir, the Orleans area was taken over by us from the former governor's government. There has not yet been a mature intelligence informant. Please forgive my subordinates for being incompetent and unable to find the main messenger behind the scenes.
The main messenger behind the scenes is an old intelligence expert. In order not to leave any traces, they dealt with all the killers at the murder scene, and the clues were cut off like this...
But according to my speculation.
On the land of France, the British had the highest spy activity, which was inseparable from the grudges accumulated by the Hundred Years of War between Britain and France. Since the end of the Hundred Years of War between Britain and France, the British government has been not very friendly to France and has secretly sent spies to France.
There are even British spies who have been in business for hundreds of years and passed on the land of France from generation to generation. The foundation accumulated in this time is very terrible, and it is difficult for me to check it out in a short period of time..."
After hearing Manide's words, Levi could understand his difficulties.
After all, the difficulty of arresting spies in this era is much higher than that in Li Wei's previous life. The main reason is that the surveillance equipment is too backward. In this era, there are no cameras all over the streets, and there is no electronic network system that can be supervised. All investigations need to be done by manpower. You can't all spies have the brains of Sherlock Holmes...
Many spies have been living in the cities they live for a long time, some of which are guarantors testify, and some British spies themselves have married and had children in France to form families. With the censorship of this era, no matter how they look at them, they are legal French citizens...
Not to mention that the French Civil War has caused the loss and loss of household registration documents of a large number of local governments. So far, the household registration management records on the French territory collected by the Li Wei government have not been completed.
Naturally, making detailed registration records of household registration was also an attempt made by Li Wei to imitate a certain country in the world in his previous life.
In terms of controlling the people, Li Wei highly praised the system of a certain country in his previous life, and it was really a vast net without any leakage!
Even if Li Wei cannot reach the level of a certain country in the previous life, he will be able to learn some basic knowledge for a long time in the 18th century.
"If you can't find evidence about the killer, just check who is promoting the fire in the southeastern region of France. Both sides must be in the same group. Will it not be possible to follow the clues?"
"Sir, I have sent five waves of investigators to different cities, but they have all been expelled from local governments in the southeastern France.
The mastermind behind the killing of Campbell were well prepared. They were one step ahead of us in this incident. Now Campbell's old subordinates have led their troops away from the border line confronting the Kingdom of Sardinia, and in the major cities in southeast France, they openly boycotted any personnel sent to Paris.
Without the cooperation of the local government, it would be difficult to find the people behind the scenes of the General Administration of Military Intelligence alone in the southeastern France..."
"Hmph, I plan to confront the central government so soon. Campbell trains all good subordinates!
Are they going to fight a civil war?”
“The southeastern France is now preparing to form a local coalition government and seems to want to unite against the Chief Executive.
Behind this, my people have found the shadow of the anti-French alliance.
And my people have also found out in the southeastern region of France that the coalition government intends to take the banner of Burgundy at the necessary moment."
“Burgundy?
What country is this?”
Li Wei, who had a poor history, had a little confusion in his eyes.
"The Chief Consul, the Kingdom of Burgundy was originally a kingdom in the Holy Roman Empire, but was later annexed by France. It first existed as a principality in France, and was not completely controlled by the central government of France in the last century.
Most of the territory of the Burgundy Kingdom is located in the southeastern part of France today. At its peak, the Burgundy Kingdom was even stronger than France!”
"It seems that I overestimated the patriotism of the French people. Some people really want to split France at such a moment."
After hearing this, the cabinet ministers present bowed their heads and said in slander, "Isn't Li Wei also a Frenchman?
Moreover, the local governments in southeastern France boycotted the central government so much that they were forced by Li Wei to kill people by using a knife…”
But soon, the cabinet ministers who had raised this idea lowered their heads in shame, feeling that they shouldn't have slandered Lord Li Wei in their hearts...
Li Wei naturally didn't know the contradictory mental activities of the important officials present. Li Wei never regarded himself as a Frenchman from beginning to end, even though he now had a French face.
People like Li Wei are like the banana people in the 21st century in their previous life. They look exactly like Chinese people, but they never think that they are a citizen of an oriental power, and even discriminate against "compatriots" who are like their own skin with white people!
The reason is just different nationalities!
Li Wei’s current personality is this type. He never thought he was French, so no matter how many French people died, he would not feel heartbroken for even a second...
"Forget it, since you can't find the evidence, don't look for it.
Anyway, the southeastern France does not pose any threat to us, and it is also a good thing to force out the rebels in the southeastern France through Campbell's death.
Things in southeast France have come to an end. As long as the southeast France does not openly raise the flag to rebel, they will do whatever they like, and after solving the anti-French alliance, they will be their next goal!
In our controlled area, it is widely publicized that Campbell was assassinated by the anti-French coalition.
The Propaganda Department made the story better, making it easier for the French people to accept it, and it is the mastermind behind it...
Since the British have the most spies in France, they should bring the British out as the mastermind behind the scenes.
Anyway, the British are our enemies, and the French people have no good impression of the British. The black British will definitely have many French citizens who like it."
"The Chief Consul is wise!"
The cabinet ministers present flattered in uneven voices.
Li Wei, who was holding his ultimate move, did not care about the "clown behavior" in southeast France, but the anti-French alliance regarded the confrontation between the southeast France and the central government of Paris as an opportunity to split France again.
First, the major cities in southeastern France formed a loose freedom alliance, and then the freedom alliance unilaterally signed a truce treaty with the anti-French alliance.
Following this routine, it seems to be a matter of course for the Liberty Alliance and the Anti-French Alliance to wear a pair of pants, but the Anti-French Alliance proposed to let Louis XVIII, who had always been protected by the Holy Roman Empire, return to Geneva and restore the throne there!
Restore the rule of the Kingdom of France!
The Anti-French Alliance used a large amount of arms, food and other materials to buy the Free Alliance formed in southeastern France, but it hit a wall here!
Two factions were clearly divided in the Liberty Alliance. One faction rejected Louis XVIII's return and restoration because of its adherence to the political concept of freedom, equality and fraternity. It was called the revolutionary faction.
Another faction was bought by the anti-French alliance and became a supporter of Louis XVIII, and was called a conservative.
Without Li Wei taking action, these two factions in the Free Alliance have a fierce conflict over whether to welcome Louis XVIII!
Even the former General Campbell's former subordinates were divided into revolutionaries and conservatives...
The Paris government's laissez-faire attitude towards southeastern France made the Liberty League think that the Livi regime has no energy to manage the affairs of southern France, and the Liberty League relaxed its hands and feet to attack its political enemies.
Seeing that the Liberty Alliance, which had finally joined forces to confront the Paris central government, was about to break apart due to the confrontation between the revolutionaries and the conservatives, returned to the original political situation where various cities and provinces were sweeping away their own snow. The Anti-French Alliance took action to mediate and held an internal meeting of the Liberty Alliance in Geneva, and decided whether Louis XVIII would return through debate and voting.
The emergence of the Free Alliance and the revelation of Louis XVIII and the revival of Burgundy were made public by the Propaganda Department of the Levi regime. For a moment, the French people's appreciation for General Campbell's defense of the country was immediately reversed!
Those old leaders of Campbell who supported Louis XVIII were specially marked on the front page by newspapers of the Paris Central Government. Campbell's reputation that he had been maintaining until his death was destroyed by the Paris Central Government...
If General Campbell was really willing to give everything for the country, how could he cultivate a group of subordinate officers who tried to help Louis XVIII restore the reign?
Very simple language logic has allowed the French people to form a preconceived concept, which is the terrible way to control public opinion!
No matter how good the person does, as long as the other party makes a mistake, public opinion can be magnified and smeared from point to surface until the good impression of this person is completely reversed.
This human nature just confirms the proverb - as long as a good person does something bad, he will be scolded by people, and as long as a bad person does something good, he will be praised as turning back to justice!
The dead General Campbell personally confirmed this proverb. No matter how much General Campbell made or made any contribution, it was completely reversed in the public opinion offensive controlled by the Levi regime. All French civilians and even intellectuals saw were Campbell's old subordinates all wanted independence and split France!
Even the revolutionaries among them wanted to establish an independent revolutionary government in southeastern France, not the Kingdom of Burgundy, but the Republic of Burgundy!
Not to mention the conservatives...
Although there are people in the southeastern part of France who do not want to split, these people are either civilians who have no say or too few people, which are easily crushed by the public opinion of the local society.
Of course, General Campbell is already a dead person, and dead people are of no value to Levi, so Levi needs to make Campbell's reputation bad. As long as Campbell's reputation is bad, the Paris central government's next suppression of military operations in southeastern France will be justified!
At this time, no one cared about General Campbell's reputation in the convention hall in Geneva. Political and power had already lost their eyes to the former purest generals and officials.
"Even people like Livi have recognized the achievements of the French Revolution. You actually want to welcome Louis XVI to restore the kingdom. This is simply a rebellious act!
Most of you are from civilians. If there were no Great Revolution, would you be today?
As a human being, you should know how grateful you are. Look at what you are now. Apart from money and power desires, what are you left with?”
A revolutionary politician was enthusiastically criticizing the conservatives standing opposite him in the chamber.
Even if the anti-French alliance has been involved, it cannot change the people in France who respect the achievements of the great revolution at this time, and naturally occupy the moral commanding heights.
Naturally, the revolutionaries have also become the first party to launch speech attacks.
However, the conservatives will not show weakness. After all, they have all received a lot of benefits, and they believe that without the help of the anti-French alliance, the Free Alliance could not withstand the attack of the Li Wei regime.
The establishment of the Burgundy Republic, which has been disappearing for more than a hundred years, is a joke!
"France was only in the rule of the Bourbon royal family that it was to become brilliant. Louis XVI was incompetent and incompetent, which meant that all members of the Bourbon royal family were foolish. Louis XVI was much better than his brother.
What's more, how many troops do we have now?
How to resist Li Wei's Black Dragon Legion?
You know, the revolutionary army of the Robert Spear administration who saved the country before was defeated by less than 10% of the Black Dragon Legion!
The current Free Alliance, even if it includes militia, can it gather 100,000 people?
Without the help of the anti-French alliance, how can we fight against Li Wei's Black Dragon Legion?!
Not to mention, the recruit training camps in Paris are almost full. In less than a month, the French Defence Force adapted by Levi was initially formed. The French Defence Force was Li Wei using his Black Dragon Legion as the backbone!
Li Wei took over all the military power of the French Republic so legitimately, but the Parliament of the Republic is as blind as a blind man. Do you still expect the Parliament of the Republic in Paris to help you cooperate with the outside world?
Think carefully about what Li Wei did after becoming the Speaker of the Republic’s Parliament!”
Conservative politicians did not speak about the great name, but directly brought out the bleeding reality. Although the words were not nice, every sentence hit the revolutionary faction!
