Just as Egron welcomed Princess Teresa to Monte Cristo with grand courtesy, the representatives he sent to Greece also ushered in a breakthrough in his mission.

On this day, Egron's cousin Louis came to a small coastal city called Leonigeon, located at the eastern end of the Peloponnese Peninsula, and met with representatives sent by the Greek government.

——The Peloponnese Peninsula is currently the only remaining territory controlled by the Greek independent government.

The Ottoman Empire cooperated with the Egyptian army to move south, sweeping almost the entire Greek territory. The Greek independent government, which was trapped in internal strife, was unable to resist and directly retreated step by step. In the end, relying on the geographical advantage of only 6.5 kilometers wide isthmus of Corinth, barely defended this last territory.

Because of the previous war consumption, the Ottoman Empire was a little tired, so it temporarily stopped its attack, and both sides were in a temporary truce.

Although the most terrifying day has just ended, you can still feel the despair and withering brought by this war of independence that has lasted for several years.

The country and its people have paid a heavy price to be independent, but until now, there is still no light or hope. They long for God's favor, but God is still completely helpless as the centuries before.

After arriving in Greece, Louis followed Egron's order and tried his best to contact the Greek independent government. After a period of operation, he finally achieved his goal.

Soon, through his own contact channels, he dressed himself up as a wealthy and ideal foreign businessman, and released his desire to assist Greece's independence cause.

His request did not arouse suspicion from the Greek government, because since the outbreak of the Greek War of Independence, there have been people full of ideals across Europe who volunteered to help the Greek independence cause.

After a period of contact, the Greek government agreed to send a representative to meet him in Leonigion and discuss the details of the sponsorship.

So Louis sneaked into the place with his own guards.

According to the information provided by the contact person, they came to the mansion of a wealthy local businessman.

As soon as he arrived here, he found that a group of people were already waiting here.

It seems that the Greek government is indeed hungry for external aid, so that he will be so serious when he sees a little hope.

The leader was a middle-aged man who looked in his forties, wearing a turtle-necked shirt and a double-breasted vest, which looked quite elegant.

He was a little surprised to see Louis so young, but soon he recovered his composure and looked at the helper with a smile.

"My name is Damian Andino, a member of the Greek Parliament, and the representative of the President, I am very happy to meet you, Mr. Riddle." The middle-aged man stretched out his hand to Louis friendly and said his pseudonym.

The MP seems to have received a very good education and has been in other European countries before, so he is very skilled in French, so he also avoids the trouble of language.

"I'm glad to see you, Mr. Councillor." Louis reached out and the two shook hands.

Then they sat together on the backrest chairs next to each other.

"I heard you want to help our independent cause." After a brief greeting, Damian Andino quickly got to the point, "How do you plan to help us? Of course, no matter how much help you give us, we will be very grateful for your support for our cause."

"We are willing to do our best to help you at all costs," Louis replied with gale. "We will organize a volunteer army to fight for your cause, and even be willing to invest tens of millions of francs to achieve this goal."

"Ten millions... tens of millions of francs?" Such a huge number quickly triggered a commotion on the court. Almost everyone, including Damian Andino, looked at each other and did not believe the news.

They can't imagine anyone willing to help them with such huge assets.

"Is it true?" Damian Andino calmed down and asked.

"I'm here all the way to you, isn't it just to joke with you?" Louis asked back, "Tell me the truth, we are already forming a volunteer army and are expected to arrive soon."

Damian Andy Nor immediately fell into ecstasy.

In this difficult environment, it would be extremely lucky if an independent government could receive such huge support.

However... he was still a little confused. After all, he had never heard of such a big support before.

"If this is true...then this will be a great encouragement and help to us. You will leave your name in history in the history of our nation. In thousands of years, someone will be praised by you, Mr. Riddle." Damian Andino was silent for a moment, and then replied, "So, how do you plan to invest your assistance, and what do you want from it?"

When he heard this question, Louis knew that his mission had reached a critical moment.

At this time, there is no need to hide it anymore, and you should make all your requests to them.

"Sir, now I think we should be open and honest." He looked at each other calmly, and then said word by word, "First of all, my surname is not Riddle, but Bonaparte. My name is Napoleon Louis Bonaparte, and I am Napoleon's brother, the eldest son of Louis Bonaparte, the former Dutch king."

Such unexpected news made Damian Andino stunned with surprise, and the same was true for the people around him.

Before they could react, Louis continued to speak.

"In addition, it is not my decision to aid you, but my cousin. I was entrusted by him to come as his plenipotent representative - I don't think I have to introduce you, who should you be."

His words caused a silence.

Damian Andino looked at the people around him. Although they were in a remote location, they still had information exchanges with the European continent. The news that Duke Lechstet had escaped from Vienna had naturally reached here.

But no one of them expected that they would have any relationship with that young man.

"The son of Napoleon."

"No wonder..."

The group whispered in a low voice in Greek.

When they mentioned that person, their tone was respectful - after all, unlike other countries that were deeply invaded by the French Empire, the Greeks had a good impression of Napoleon because he once beaten the Turks in Egypt.

"I understand...so that's it." After a long silence, Damian Andino sighed, "So, what is the request of that high prince?"

"He has no demands, only passionate blood." Louis replied with his head raised, "He cannot bear to see your great nation fall into disaster, so he hopes to help you accomplish the great cause that a Christian should accomplish. He does not pursue any reward, because salvation itself is the greatest reward."

Damian Andino's mouth bent a little bit, obviously he didn't believe Louis's words, but he didn't say it out loud.

"I have already explained the basic facts to you, and I have expressed His Majesty's sincerity to you, so it will be up to you, sir." Louis looked at the other party and asked, "I hope you will convey my words to your President. I think this selfless help is very valuable in your current situation."

After listening to Louis's words, Damian Andino did not make a statement immediately, but hesitated.

After a moment, he asked.

"Then I wonder, how did the respected His Highness plan to use his money and strength? If he formed a volunteer army, under whose banner, and under whose name would he command?"

"Of course this is commanded by him. Since it is his money and his people, why can't it be like this?" Louis replied naturally, "We support your independent cause in the name of the Bonaparte family."

"I will report your conditions to the president." Damian Andino hesitated for a long time and finally replied. "But I think these conditions are difficult to get the president's permission."

Although he said it more tactfully, it was obvious that this was rejection.

"Why, you actually gave up such obvious kindness?" Louis frowned and looked at each other with incredible eyes. "Is there anyone else who is willing to help you with a bigger hand?"

"Of course we need help in urgent need, but we have to face reality and avoid facing greater disasters, sir." Damian Andino replied with a wry smile.

"Oh? What is reality, sir?" Louis frowned slightly and asked the other party, "Are you not satisfied with these conditions?"

"It's hard for us to be satisfied." Louis' attitude made Damian Andino not want to be polite now and answered bluntly, "We are very reluctant to see ourselves tied to the name of the Bonaparte family, which will be a disaster for Greece. Although I personally respect your family, I believe you know that the Bonaparte family and European countries have very bad relations. They were fighting each other just ten years ago, and this hatred has far remained far from dissipated. Once we hear the news of our government's cooperation with the Bonaparte family, European countries are likely to withdraw their support for us, which will cause our independent cause to suffer a disaster that will never be restored-"

Damian Andino knew that his words were very unpleasant, so he was ready to get angry.

But beyond his expectations, the other party not only did not get angry, but laughed.

"Interesting! Your words are really interesting!"

"What are you laughing at?" asked Damian Andino. "Is there anything funny about this?"

"Yes, I'm just laughing at you!" Louis laughed for a while before he replied loudly.

Since he had already talked about this, he was too lazy to use respectful words to the other party, but instead looked at the other party with a slanted eyes and contemptuous look, "You are afraid that the cause of independence will never be restored? Are you on the verge of doomed life now? Open your eyes and see that the Turks have hit your doorstep! Where is the support of the European countries you are counting on? Does it really exist? Even if they exist, can they have time to save your precarious and inauspicious regime?"

Louis's questioning with a gun and a stick made Damian Andyno speechless immediately.

Everyone can see the dilemma facing the independent government at the moment. Even if he closes his eyes and sings high-profile, it is useless.

"To be honest, you are now in name only, people are lost, and all the rest is just an inconspicuous sign. My cousin and I want to help you because we love the land of Greece and its great people. We cannot bear to see it fall into a disaster, so we want to help, not because we like you, the incompetent and useless wastes!

When the situation is good, you, a group of bastards who say they betray the interests of the people for the sake of the nation, waved the butcher knife at the soldiers who have great military achievements. As a result, when the situation is in danger, for the so-called "sense of various countries", you must refuse the help that is close at hand in life and death! Tell me, what are you afraid of?"

Louis did not give the other party any breathing space, and asked the other party step by step, "As far as I know, those who want to drown will not care about anyone's help. They will try their best to grab any life-saving straw. Even if the devil's hand stretches out, they don't care as long as they can get them out of danger! And your situation is similar to those who are about to drown, right?

So what else do you need to be afraid of? What situations are worse than the destruction of your independent cause? Is it more terrible to offend a foreign government than destruction? I can't find any reason to refuse such valuable help from us - unless you act not for the cause of independence, but for yourself, you treat yourself as agents of a foreign government, you are completely discouraged and just want to protect yourself, so you are afraid that if you work with us, it will make the foreign master unhappy and make you unable to escape from their country before destruction, right??"

Louis's question was purely a slap in the heart, but it was indeed extremely lethal, so Damian Andino was so angry that his forehead was bulging.

"How can you say such rude words?" he almost shouted, "Your Highness, on behalf of the President and the Greek Independent Government, I ask you to apologize!"

"Then how should I treat you? You took away the helping hand we extended, but in the end I asked me to respect it?" Louis looked at the other party with a sneer without any intention of apology, "I hope to respect you, but what you did in the face of national crisis made me unable to respect it no matter what."

"I am sorry that although I have full respect for the Bonaparte family, I do not see the decent you should have in you." Damian Andino stood up and shook his head. "Sorry, your Highness, it is indeed difficult for you to agree with your request from our standpoint."

asshole……

Louis cursed in his heart, and then tried to restrain his anger.

Before internal considerations, his request was directly rejected. Obviously, the Greek independent government valued the impression of Western powers, so he did not want to have anything to do with the Bonaparte family.

Although this was expected, Louis couldn't help but feel angry when he saw that his family was treated like this.

Fortunately, His Majesty had never expected their kindness and support from the beginning, so he had already ordered to prepare for both hands.

I will make you pay the price you deserve, please wait for me.

Looking at the other person's face, Louis thought viciously.
