"The most important thing is that the Propaganda Department should be more careful in the future. Propaganda actions will be exposed sooner or later. It is inevitable. What we have to do is to push this time back as far as possible. The later it is exposed, the better it will be for us.
The bigger one." Adel reminded Piaf, "And the two light infantry regiments have not yet been controlled. If there is a problem over there, Joseph's knowledge and intervention will be much slower and more difficult."
As the person in charge of the publicity plan, Piaf was very clear about the consequences of exposure, and immediately said seriously: "I will immediately improve the publicity plan to ensure confidentiality."
After listening to the conversation of several people, Verak spoke: "This is not a solution. We don't want to be exposed just because we don't want to be exposed. After all, we have to find countermeasures to achieve absolute control over the independent mixers in order to completely eliminate the hidden dangers. I
Personally, I still have a consistent thought. I think the commanders of the two light infantry regiments must be eliminated. They will always be an obstacle there."
"I have the same idea as you, but Joseph likes to win steadily when doing things. He feels that doing so is too risky, and he can't guarantee whether two more indistinguishable people will be transferred after their death.
Endless assassinations." Adel shrugged and expressed his helplessness.
"As long as we can ensure that there is no danger in this matter, and Francois will finally support Joseph in arranging his cronies to take over, will it work? Although it is still difficult, at least our thinking is clear." Verak
According to the previous method, we broke the problem into pieces and solved it.
"Then the question is how to reduce the risk, and how to let Francois support Joseph in cultivating his cronies and complete complete control of the independent mixer." Adel said.
Boyne discovered an important connection between the two issues: "These two things can actually be summed up into one thing, which is to make Francois believe that Joseph is loyal to him. As long as Francois believes that Joseph is absolutely loyal to him
Yes, we will not be stingy in supporting Joseph. Even if we don't assassinate the two regiment leaders, Francois will personally help Joseph solve the problem."
"There is a new problem. How can we make someone as cautious and suspicious as François absolutely trust Joseph? Give him a chance to show off?" Adel spread his hands.
Keating had an idea: "If you want Francois to trust Joseph more, you don't necessarily have to create opportunities for Joseph to perform. Reducing Francois's trust in other people is to increase his trust in Joseph in disguise."
of trust.”

April 27, morning
1st Cavalry Regiment Camp, Joseph's Office
"You want to gain further trust in me by driving a wedge between Francois, Colonel Benson and Lieutenant Colonel Jeffrey?" After listening to the method discussed by Adel and the senior leaders of the Ping An Association last night, Joseph only felt that he was
Got it wrong.
"That's right." Adel nodded.
"This is even more ridiculous..." Joseph even found it funny, "Do you know how many problems this needs to overcome?"
Adel was very calm: "Since we are willing to bring it up with you, we must have considered all aspects."
"Then please tell me the specific plan first." Joseph decided to put aside his resistance and wait until he understood the plan made by the Equality Association before making a formal reply.
"As we all know, there is a fierce confrontation between two major factions in the government. One side is the presidential faction headed by François, whose goal is to restore the monarchy and achieve dictatorship. The other side is the parliamentary faction headed by members of the parliament.
The purpose is to ensure that his power is not occupied by Francois." Adel started from the current background, "The contradiction between these two parties is no less than the contradiction between the Equality Society and the government. After all, there is almost no win-win situation.
situation, we can only
You will fight to the death. What we have to do is to connect Colonel Benson, Lieutenant Colonel Jeffrey and the parliamentary faction and arrange for them to meet. Just a meeting is enough to keep Francois awake. If they can really unite
, that is naturally the best. There is a powerful parliamentary force in your own army. Do you think Francois will sit back and do nothing? He will definitely help you clear these obstacles and complete the independent mixed formation.
Absolute control of the division."
Joseph said: "There is no problem logically, but how do you arrange Colonel Benson, Lieutenant Colonel Jeffrey and the parliamentary faction together? And how do you make Francois believe them?"
"The parliamentary faction had contacted the Equality Society before, trying to reach a cooperation to fight against Francois. The Equality Society did not agree at that time, but there were still channels to contact them. As for how they finally met, and why Francois was suspicious
, it’s up to us.”
"Then I just need to provide a channel to contact Colonel Benson and Lieutenant Colonel Jeffrey?"
"No need." Adel smiled confidently again, equality would give him too much confidence, "Assassination is not a problem, and it is not difficult for us to get in touch with them. The less you interfere with this operation, the better.
If you succeed, you make a profit; if you fail, it has nothing to do with you."
"Okay...then when will you take action?"
"tonight."
"Tonight? So early? Is it possible to make arrangements in time?" Joseph had already seen the efficiency of the Equality Association, but trying to resolve his biggest obstacle in one day still made him uneasy.
Adel took a cigar from Joseph and lit it: "This matter actually doesn't take much time. One day is enough to arrange everything. The main reason why it is set today is because it happens to be that we have to get rid of the publicity thing in the evening.
Those two officers. Their deaths can serve as a cover in Francois’s eyes, making him deepen his suspicions.”
"But it was the Equality Association who got rid of them. Doesn't this involve the Equality Association as well?" Joseph was a little unable to follow his train of thought.
"Whether Francois will take action when he thinks he is truly equal, or whether Benson, Jeffrey, or the parliamentarians are pretending to do so, it will be good for us. Of course, the more chaotic the situation, the better. The more chaotic Francois will be, the more likely he will be.
It's hard to judge, so the safest choice left to him is
Transfer Benson and Jeffrey and let you have complete control over the independent mixer." The Equality Society has figured out Francois's suspicious character. They don't have to do everything to the extreme, they only need to give Francois
Planting a seed in Wa's heart is enough to stir up the storm.
Francois's cautious character allowed him to reach this point and met most of the conditions for restoring the monarchy.
But his character is precisely the door to his death.
"As long as we associate them with the parliamentary faction, from Francois's perspective, many things will make sense. For example, there are so many regiments stationed and patrolling and searching day and night, why have they never been able to
After wiping out the Equality Society. Obviously, because the two group leaders are from the parliamentary faction, they hope that the Equality Society will exist and pose a threat to themselves, so they have been secretly providing convenience to the Equality Society." After Adelian learned the news, Fu
Everything Francois could think of was clear.
Joseph was silent for a moment, and finally smiled bitterly.
"What's wrong?" Adel blew out a puff of smoke.
"Your layout is not complicated, but it can make Francois dizzy." Joseph gradually accepted this method, which was much more feasible than directly assassinating the two regiment leaders to help him control the independent mixing division.

noon
7th Light Infantry Regiment camp, in the office of Colonel Benson, the regiment commander
Benson just went out for lunch, and when he came back, an envelope appeared on the table for no apparent reason. After asking all the guards, they all said they didn't see anyone unusual coming in, he closed the door and opened the envelope in confusion.
[Dear Colonel Wright Benson:
Although you and I have never met, it seems to me that our fates are closely intertwined.
Gu Hao
Francois, the current president of the Bressy Republic, is planning to restore the monarchy and become the emperor of the republic. You must be very aware of this matter. Perhaps as an important member of Francois's direct army, you think that after the restoration of the monarchy,
There will be countless benefits, but I think the day will come when our situation will fall into an abyss.
It can be seen from the fact that the President ignored the protests of Your Excellency and Lieutenant Colonel Jeffrey, vigorously supported Mullen Joseph, who has a civilian background, and helped him strengthen his control over the independent mixers. He is equally vigilant towards you and me.
, holding hostility...
...Based on the consideration of many factors and the understanding of Mr. President's behavior, if he really restores the imperial system and becomes the emperor of Bressey, it is foreseeable what kind of impact we will face.
I hope to meet with you, Lieutenant Colonel Jeffrey, at 51 Heller Street in the West End at ten o'clock tonight to discuss the future of us and the family behind us...
Wilbur Flynn]
After reading the letter, Benson's hands trembled uncontrollably.
Who is Wilbur Flynn?
No one in the whole of Lezein does not know it.
He is the speaker of the parliament and one of the leaders of the parliamentary faction currently fighting with Francois.
Benson read the letter carefully again in disbelief, and then immediately burned the letter to ensure that no one would know that he had any contact with Wilbur Flynn.
"This..." He slumped down on the chair, looking confused.
Wilbur Flynn actually contacted me!
If Francois knew about this, the consequences would be disastrous!
But the most important thing is, what should I do next? What Speaker Fulin said in the letter is not unreasonable. Both himself and Jeffrey can accept that Joseph will be in the position and be a target to attract the firepower of the Equality Society, but Fran
Sauva suppressed their dissatisfaction and vigorously supported Joseph's cronies to become the commander of the cavalry regiment. This made it clear that he wanted to reuse him, not to take advantage of him.
He and Jeffrey had strong backgrounds, and both firmly supported Francois, but Francois was wary of them at such a critical juncture, and would rather make them dissatisfied than reuse a pariah.
What will happen if he really becomes the emperor in the future?
Benson did not dare to judge easily.
"Dong dong dong." There was a knock on the door, and the soldier outside the door said, "Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Jeffrey of the 15th Light Infantry Regiment wants to see you."
"Let him in quickly!" Benson remembered that Speaker Fulin said in the letter that in addition to himself, he also invited Jeffrey, so Jeffrey should also have received such a letter!
Soon, anxious Jeffrey strode in: "Close the door!"
"Yes!" The soldier closed the door and stood guard outside.
Jeffrey and Benson looked at each other and immediately confirmed that the other had received the letter.
"You received it too?" Benson confirmed.
"Yes." Jeffrey lowered his voice, went to the desk and took out the letter for himself.
Benson took it and looked at it. The content was basically the same as what he had given himself: "Mine is exactly the same as yours. It was just burned."
"What do you think?" When Jeffrey heard that Benson destroyed the letter, he quickly followed suit.
"I don't know." Cold sweat broke out on Benson's forehead.
"I think what Mr. Flynn said makes sense. Francois doesn't take us seriously at all. He is just using us. When we lose our value, our fate will be no different from that of the Parliament. This matter will never happen again with him."
You can see that they value us and intend to let Joseph control the independent mixer." Jeffrey was emotional. He was already extremely dissatisfied with Francois's actions, and Speaker Flynn's letter today triggered his anger.
"You mean we surrender to the Parliament?" Benson did not expect Jeffrey to be so decisive.
When Jeffrey heard Benson clarifying his intention, he calmed down a little: "...I just think this may not be an option. If they can give more benefits, why should we suffer humiliation here?"
"But Mr. Fulin didn't say in the letter how to cooperate and what benefits we can gain," Benson said.
"This should be what we're going to talk about when we meet tonight."
"Once we meet them, this matter will never be clear." Benson reminded, "You know how suspicious Francois is. Let him know that we have contact with people from the parliament. None of us will
Don’t even think about staying in the military anymore.”
Francois's suspicion was also one of the reasons why they were left out. Jeffrey immediately snorted coldly, and the idea of meeting Fulin became stronger: "Even if we have never met Fulin, Francois should be suspicious.
He will still doubt us. If he didn’t doubt our loyalty to him, why would he leave our people unpromoted and support the common people?”
Benson was speechless.
"Since Fulin is willing to come to us, he must have prepared enough benefits. The current situation in the parliament is not optimistic, and our help is extremely important to them." Jeffrey was preconceived, and when Fulin appeared in their sights
Finally, he took the initiative to prove his importance, "If they can get the support of our two corps, they will have at least a 20% chance of winning in the battle with Francois."
"This incident is too sudden. I think we still need to wait until Fulin reveals the benefits." This incident will determine their future and even life and death. Benson does not dare to act rashly, "You have never thought about it."
, Why didn’t Fulin just explain everything clearly in the letter? Instead of having to meet in person to talk about it?”
"He must be wary of us too. There are too many things revealed in the letter. If we expose him directly to Francois, their situation will become even worse," Jeffrey said.
"Then have you ever thought about it, what if the benefits they offer after meeting are not enough to impress us? How will we get out then?"
Jeffrey didn't think this was a problem: "I am responsible for the defense work in the West District. If they don't offer many benefits, we can arrest him and hand him over to Francois. Just say that we met with him, just
