240 The Assassinated Hero
"Prime Minister Peter, in the latest information, Campbell, who was regarded as a heroic leader by the military and civilians in southeastern France, accepted the Parisian government order and was ready to go to Paris alone to report his work."
Prime Minister Peter of the London government frowned after taking the documents handed over by his subordinates for a quick brows.
The British intelligence leader next to him thought the Prime Minister was going to blame him for his disadvantages, so he quickly explained:
"Prime Minister, my people have been in contact with Campbell many times and have used all methods, but Campbell has a great prejudice against the British Empire. He would rather die than accept our conditions.
Even if Campbell knew that he was going to Paris to meet Li Wei, he would probably have no life and would go to Paris without hesitation..."
The Prime Minister put the document back on the table and slowly spoke: "Since the outbreak of the Great Revolution, nationalist ideas have prevailed. Campbell was a general promoted during the reign of Robert Spear. It is normal for his love for France to exceed our expectations.
But we cannot watch Li Wei use the knife of the anti-French alliance to help him cut off the last hidden dangers of the French revolutionary regime.
The Pu'Austrian coalition hated the French revolutionary regime very much and launched retaliatory killings in France many times. As allies, we cannot interfere with this. After all, the French revolutionary government did too much.
The Italian coalition was a group of greedy villains who completely regarded this war as a feast. They had to rob each place they occupied. They did not have enough combat power, so they were driven out of France by the French.
Now the barracks around Paris are filled with new recruits. It is said that Li Wei only needs one month to train to get those new recruits on the battlefield.
Once the war is delayed for too long, it may be very unfavorable to the anti-French alliance.
If Campbell had brought the army gathered together in southeastern France to the north, it might not have been able to defeat the Pakatans and Austrian coalition, but it would definitely delay their offensive and ensure that a large number of new recruits in Paris completed military training.
Therefore, we must never let the southeastern France, represented by Campbell, ease the conflict with the Levi regime.
This time we finally found the opportunity to split France, and we must not let Li Wei break the deadlock easily!"
After hearing this, the intelligence leader turned his eyes slightly and immediately understood what Prime Minister Peter meant.
"Prime Minister, please rest assured. Campbell only brought a few servants on the road. I will never let him arrive in Paris alive!
As soon as Campbell died, our people immediately promoted Livi's assassination in southeastern France.
The military and civilians in southeast France have complained about the Paris government's failure to support it. Campbell, who was at its peak, was assassinated again. We only need to do a little bit of work. The military and civilians in southeast France will definitely be disunited from the Paris government.
By then, Li Wei will not only not be able to receive assistance from the army in southeastern France, but will also have to divide his troops to guard against the army rebellion in southeastern France.
Campbell is a man who is loved in his army, and his subordinates will definitely not let Levi go."
Prime Minister Peter looked at his intelligence chief and warned cautiously: "Can you make sure that Campbell's assassination will not be exposed?"
"Prime Minister, please rest assured that during the chaos of the French Revolution, I developed many French natives, who had no idea that they were serving the British Empire."
"Then I'll leave it to you. I don't want to see Campbell enter Paris, nor do I want to hear the news that Campbell was assassinated by the British Empire!"
"Yes, Prime Minister!"
Prime Minister Peter thought about it and asked his intelligence leader: "How many new recruits have Li Wei gathered in the barracks in the Paris area?"
"The specific number is difficult to count, but at least there are tens of thousands of people. Until now, there are still many recruits entering Paris.
Levi’s Paris recruit training camp adopts a fully closed management, and outsiders cannot enter at all. The spies we sent in cannot get out before completing a month’s training period. The entire recruit training camp is controlled by the Black Dragon Legion loyal to Levi, and the supervision is very strict.
However, according to our intelligence personnel, the shooting bodies were carried out from time to time in the boot camp in Paris, and there were even spies we sent in to inquire about the news.
Those spies were not shot because they were found during training, but were unable to bear the rules during training, and wanted to escape and were caught and shot. Many of the bodies were shot in violation of the military discipline in the training camp with serious circumstances.
The rules in the recruit training camp in Paris are very strict, and this is probably why Li Wei can train in one month to form a military."
"Well, it is indeed necessary to govern the military strictly. Li Wei learned the military practices of the British Empire."
Prime Minister Peter shamelessly gilded his country's army...
Of course, in the London government, praising the country's army to belittle the French army is no longer just a consensus, but has become a "political habit".
"There are so many recruit training camps in Paris. Even if they do not have the combat effectiveness of the Black Dragon Legion, it is an important threat to the anti-French alliance. Summarize this news, tell our allies, urge them to step up the offensive, and don't give Li Wei time to complete the French Wehrmacht reorganization plan.
Oh, by the way, the number of Paris recruits training is exaggerated, just saying that Levi is training a 200,000 army. I believe our allies cannot figure out how many people there are in Paris recruits training.
Their intelligence system in France is not as good as ours.”
…………
In a small town under the jurisdiction of Orleans, France, Campbell walked down from a carriage under the service of two servants.
Ironically, Campbell, who has always claimed to be a revolutionary general, has no equality in his servants, and has even become accustomed to the attitude of being superior to others.
Neither Campbell nor the two servants serving him felt that there was anything wrong with this. This was the revolutionary masses who shouted the slogan of "freedom, equality, and fraternity" every day!
So, Li Wei from the 21st century can see through it. All equal and free Balabala are fooling the people. In the harmonious society in the 21st century, there are injustice everywhere, and there are huge gaps between people everywhere. A dog in a wealthy family is more expensive than the lives of ordinary people...
That is, the French common people in the 18th century had never enjoyed a true "harmonious society", so they were fooled by the shallow slogan of freedom, equality, and fraternity to go to the battlefield to fight desperately.
Compared with the common people in the 21st century, the civilians in the 18th century are no longer simple, and it is no exaggeration to describe them as lack of brains.
The only equal reform of the French Revolution was to ban the privileges of the nobles and the church's top leaders. After the ban, the wealthy capitalists immediately took the lead and replaced the position of superiors. The lives of ordinary people did not improve much.
It is precisely because of this that after the end of the French Civil War, many French civilians were discouraged by the revolution, especially after Li Wei, the original largest rebel leader, entered Paris, many French civilians learned to accept power and injustice in the real society.
This is actually the same as the principle that when young people in the 21st century first entered society, they were not afraid of heaven or earth, and immediately bowed to their leaders after wasting their lives in society for a few years.
The only difference between the 21st and 18th centuries is that the cost of selling dignity in the 21st century can be slightly higher than that in the 18th century.
"Now we are standing on Li Wei's territory."
General Campbell looked at the town that was no different from his hometown, and for some reason he suddenly sighed.
The two servants looked at each other, not knowing how to respond. They were just illiterate people who served people, but they did not have the "knowledge and insight" of General Campbell.
Campbell did not expect his servant to reply. After asking the groom to set up the carriage, he took the two servants to head towards the only small hotel in the town.
The sky had become drizzling, and this town was where General Campbell chose to rest.
At this moment, a sloppy young man suddenly walked out of the hotel. He walked straight towards General Campbell. Under his puzzled eyes, he stepped forward and grabbed Campbell's right hand with excitement.
“May I ask, are you the great General Campbell?
That is the hero who led the southeastern French war zone and successfully repelled the Italian coalition invasion?!"
After hearing this, General Campbell's vigilance suddenly dropped by half. Campbell had seen such ordinary civilians who admired him in the southeast of France. Once, in a big city, he was surrounded by excited people and threw them back and forth into the sky.
It was from that time that General Campbell felt that dealing with enthusiastic people was more laborious than fighting a war…
The reason why General Campbell has such a high reputation is closely related to the numerous crimes committed by the Italian coalition in southeastern France.
Although the feud between the Italians and the French is not as serious as that of Britain and France, the relationship between this has never been good for neighbors. The Kingdom of Sardinia is always worried that it will be annexed by France next door, and has been conducting anti-French speeches and propaganda in China.
In fact, whether in ancient times or modern times, the people's will of a country is closely related to government propaganda.
Isn’t the white European and American anti-Oriental powers in the 21st century just guided by government public opinion?
The Russians are friendly to the people of the Eastern powers because the governments between the two countries have close strategic cooperation!
The Turks have been supporting a terrorist organization in the Eastern power to carry out a major independence movement. To put it bluntly, it is because the Turkish government has been constantly targeting American political opponents in order to please the big brother of the United States.
In addition, the Turks have become unfriendly to the people of the Eastern powers. There are many Turkish immigrants in European countries. The thing these Turkish immigrants like to do is to rob tourists and settlers of the Eastern powers in European and American countries!
This is actually the result of government propaganda.
It is not difficult to understand why the Italian coalition forces did everything they did when they entered France.
Of course, robbery is also the military feature of this era. European governments only pursue victory and do not pay much attention to other binding forces of the military.
Even in World War II, it was nothing new for invaders to massacre foreign civilians in the occupied areas.
It can only be said that war can easily reveal the bad natures in human hearts.
"Thank you for your support, I am fighting for the French Republic, this is me..."
Puchi~
General Campbell's words were immediately swallowed by the blood spurted out of his mouth. The young man was obviously a veteran of murder. At such a close distance, the other party gave up his vigilance and stabbed General Campbell's heart with a short and easy-to-hide dagger!
When the two servants behind saw the huge wound in front of General Campbell, they couldn't help but feel stunned and stiff in place.
The two servants were not soldiers at all. Their long-term service life also developed a cowardly and fearful character. At this time, the two servants not only did not come forward to save their master, but instead retreated in horror. In order to avoid attracting the attention of the murderer, they also covered their mouths to prevent themselves from screaming because of the fright...
This behavior gave the murderer plenty of time to release the dagger that was too deep and take out the flintlock gun hidden in his chest.
The admiring smile on the young man's face had long disappeared and turned into a full of malice.
He calmly pushed the gun against General Campbell's chin and whispered softly: "I'm sorry, they have given too much money. May you go to heaven, my French hero."
Bang!
General Campbell's head suddenly leaned back under the piercing power of the lead bullet, and his whole body lay on the ground in an irregular shape, his eyes wide open with his eyes open, as if he didn't believe that he would die so cowardly until the moment of death.
The killer glanced at the panicked crowd around him, stepped on General Campbell's body without any haste and pulled out his dagger, wiped it casually and put it away. When he turned around and left, he did not forget to load ammunition on his flintlock gun while walking.
It seems to be warning the crowd around.
At this moment, a gunshot suddenly appeared on the roof of the hotel. The killer looked at the blood hole in his chest in disbelief and fell to the ground with a soft body.
When the town police arrived, they saw only the body of a killer, and the person who shot in the small hotel was no longer visible.
Compared to the killer who killed people in the street, no one even saw the person who killed the killer!
When the police found the room where the small hotel was shooting, there was only a used long flintlock rifle inside, lying quietly in the corner.
The documents of Campbell's assassination were sent to Levi's office as fast as possible.
The day after the news of Campbell's assassination was heard back to southeastern France, conspiracy theory that Li Wei eradicated dissidents and sent people to assassinate Campbell in the major cities in southeastern France appeared in major cities in southeastern France.
Well, this conspiracy theory coincides with Li Wei's strategic plan that has not been made public...
