The documents Joseph showed Lucien were some weapons development plans. These weapons already have specific blueprints, and there are more than one kind. To say that they were made by Joseph after seeing Lucien’s plan in just over a morning, Lucien is absolutely Won't believe it. And Lucien is sure that in such a short time, not to mention that Joseph could not produce so many things, even if Leonardo was dug out from the ground to resurrect him, he would not be able to produce so many things in such a short time. .

　　 Therefore, the appearance of this file bag only means one thing, that is, his brother has already been preparing for this.

　　 But this idea really overestimated Joseph to some extent. Because these designs are actually just some things that Joseph copied from later generations. The relevant design drawings were actually drawn long ago, but it was too late to use them. I saw Lucien's suggestions now, so I just turned them out, so as to scare Lucien.

　　 Among these designs, the first one that fits Lucien’s vision is the revolver.

　　In this era, the so-called pistols are all flint-haired pistols. This type of pistol, like the rifles at the time, has the problem of loading difficulties. Each pistol can only hold one bullet at a time, and it may take more than a minute to load another bullet after the shot. The pistol's range is inherently very limited. When it comes to fighting with the pistol, there is definitely no time to load the bullets.

　　 The hit rate of the pistol is compared to the rifle, because of the gripping method, it was originally a tragedy. There was only one bullet, so in that era, many people felt that a swift sword was much better than a pistol. Even those who are prepared to carry a pistol, generally speaking, will bring at least two pistols. Just like the two friends of Kano when he went to clean up Golio.

　　 Therefore, a firearm that can shoot continuously is simply a rule-breaker. Imagine when you are holding a revolver and you fire a shot at a guy but miss it. That guy must think you have no bullets, there is only a dead end. So the guy drew his dagger and forced him towards you with a smirk, and then you made him several holes in a row. In an urban environment, a few people, each with two revolvers, can easily do the deeds.... This is really... really a must-have item for home travel and murder and arson.

　　Moreover, the structure of the revolver is relatively simple, and it is not particularly difficult to manufacture even with the technological level of this era. It's a pity that the metal shell bullets are still under development and are temporarily unusable. (Actually, even if it succeeds, Joseph didn’t plan to use it on the revolver right away. Wouldn’t it be okay to first release an old version and let everyone buy it once, and then release a new version and let everyone buy it again? ?)

　　 Therefore, the first version of the revolver designed by Joseph still needs to be filled with primer, gunpowder, and projectiles. It's just that compared to ordinary pistols, it can load six bullets at a time. As for reloading after six bullets, it is still terribly slow.

　　 In addition to revolvers, there are also some special cold weapons. For example, a small detachable crossbow, when there is no ability to develop a silencer, such a crossbow is a weapon for assassination. However, this thing did not sell well afterwards, and the one that sold better was actually another cold weapon-folding knife.

There are two types of folding knives designed by 　　 Joseph, one is the switchblade knife with side opening, and the other is the butterfly knife popular in later generations. In a sense, these two things are actually just a deformation of the dagger. But unexpectedly, the gangsters of various countries applauded after using it. Although they are more expensive than daggers, they quickly replaced conventional daggers and became the standard equipment for gangsters in various countries.

　　 This is because these two things have two obvious advantages compared to ordinary daggers:

　　First, easy to carry. You can easily put the switchblade and butterfly knives into a small pocket without worrying about hurting yourself. The dagger is almost twice as long as these two kinds of knives. With the addition of the scabbard, it is not convenient to fit it into a normal clothes pocket. Remove the scabbard, it can be slightly shorter, but you If you want to carry it in your pocket like this, you might accidentally fall and kill you.

　　Secondly, it is highly concealed when attacking. A dagger, held in the hand, is naturally less noticeable than a swift sword held in the hand, but in any case, when holding a dagger, the blade always has to be exposed and others can see it. But the butterfly knives and switch knives are held in your hand, and there is no blade at all. People never think you have a knife in your hand. The blade was not exposed until just before the attack. When dealing with a person with a knife in his hand, and a person without a knife in his hand, people's defensive actions are completely different. Once a misjudgment occurs, it is very difficult to correct it, and this naturally greatly increases the chance of a successful attack. Therefore, switchblade and butterfly knives are more insidious and dangerous weapons than daggers. Perhaps because of this, in later generations, in many places where guns cannot be controlled, these two things are strictly controlled.

　　 Of course, when he first saw this design, Lucien didn't think about it, he just felt that these two knives were very special. In addition, he immediately understood why these designs should be kept strictly confidential—because these designs are so simple, as long as people see them, they will get pregnant.

　　 So Lucien got busy in Joseph's office, and when it got dark, he worked out the basic budget. Joseph was also very satisfied with it, but he passed it directly without deliberately provoking it.

"Well, regarding the establishment of related institutions, I think the first thing to do is to gather talents. Well, you'd better do it yourself. I'll write a letter to Kano, and you will take it with you. Kano’s status today is not as good as before, but in his capacity, it’s not difficult to get a list of the most recently resigned personnel from the Paris police system. In addition, you can also contact Fouché, but this matter, Try not to get too involved with Fouché. Because in the long run, you will be competitors. To be honest, I think his ability is not a little bit stronger than yours. Especially in this respect, our family No one can compare to him. When dealing with him, be careful not to be sold and help them count the money."

Hearing this, Lucien didn’t feel uncomfortable because Joseph felt that he was inferior, and because he was far inferior to Fouché. Instead, he couldn’t help but come up with such an idea: “It’s great. I went to Paris, and finally it's a holiday! Hahaha..."

　　 Thinking like this, a smile appeared on his face. Joseph saw it naturally, but he didn't take it to heart. He felt that this should be the yearning for the future of Junior Two. However, after he arrived in Paris, he talked about various things that need attention with Lucien in detail late at night.

　　 Although Joseph is very ambitious, he is still very efficient in doing things. That night, he had written the letter, and early the next morning, Lucien took the letter and took two entourages into the carriage to Paris.

　　 It was already evening when Lucien arrived in Paris. He also did not go to Joseph’s residence in Paris. (The original owner of that house guillotineed the house in Robespierre’s time, and Joseph bought the house from the government at a relatively low price.) But Go directly to Kano's house. Founder is really familiar with it.

　　 When Lucien arrived at Kano's house, it was just before dinner. This time when he could smooth the meal, made Lucien feel particularly cordial. He got out of the carriage and went up to knock on the door.

　　……

A day later, Kano gave a list to Lucien and said to him: "Lucien, this is the list of people who were cleared from the police force in Paris after Thermidor. I suggest you focus on these. Personal. Well, the first is Sheriff JaVale. This person is very capable. He has destroyed many conspiracies of royalists. His work has guillotined at least 20 nobles. Therefore, he was also affected by those The royal party hates it. Ha ha, after the Thermidor took power, some of his colleagues accused him of being a Jacobin, which led to his expulsion. He had a son and a daughter, and he lived at 25 Peacock Street before being expelled.

　　 followed by Maniere, similar to Javier, he is also a good detective, but in an operation to capture speculators, he was shot in the leg and became a lame man. Well, you also know that after the Thermidians came to power, they were injured by arresting investors. Not only was it not an honor, but it became a crime. Therefore, he was also expelled. And his situation is probably worse than that of JaVale. JaVale is at least a healthy person, but he is a disabled person. His current residence is not clear, but Henry Durand on the list is his friend, and you can find Maniel through him. Henry Brand lives at 45 Bernard Avenue. and also……"

　　 After Carnot introduced a few people to Lucien in general, he began to complain about his current situation. According to him, in Paris, royalists are now publicly active everywhere. What's more terrible is that because of the knowledge of the Jacobins, the National Guard in various districts was seriously infiltrated by the royal party.

"Now nearly half of the National Guards in Paris are on the side of the Royal Party, and half of them are unclear. Of course, they may not be on the side of the Royal Party, but most of them will not be on the side of the Republic. In order to avoid appearing immediately The government plans to hold elections, but the prospects for the elections are equally not optimistic."

　　 "What the government needs is time. Maybe they think that as long as the time is delayed and the economic situation and front-line situation change, their approval rate will rise?" Lucian said.

　　 "How is it possible? How can there be such a change in such a short time?" Kanuo disapproved.

　　 "My brother Joseph felt that they could use technical reasons as an excuse to declare this election invalid and re-election next time. Use this method to delay time." Lucian said.

　　 "But their various measures will not turn the country in a good direction at all, and will only lead to more and more serious problems."

"Then they will change some of the rules. Just like the 1991 Constitution divided citizens into active citizens and passive citizens, they deprived some people of political rights in a disguised form, or simply stipulated that in elections, the Thermidor must have a majority. "

　　 "This is subverting the sanctity of elections and fundamentally shaking the foundation of the republic. Even Robespierre would not dare to do this. If the Thermidians do this, then there will be an immediate rebellion."

"So, Joseph believes that the government has another way, that is, they may take a military risk and launch an offensive operation from Italy. And Napoleon is very confident in winning." Lucien handed Kano here. A bottom.

"Joseph also said that although he dislikes the current government very much, no matter how incompetent and corrupt the current government is, it is after all a republican government, even if their lower limit is higher than the upper limit of autocracy. If a victory ~ www .lightnovelpub.net~If the republic can continue to be stable, then such military actions are still valuable. I only hope that the things brought about by such military victory will not be wasted by them in vain." Said again.

　　 "Oh!" Kano sighed, "Yes, they still support the Republic after all. However, it is hard to say whether they will waste their victory in vain."

　　 "This is not something we can decide." Lucien said, "Joseph said, do what we can do, and the rest depends on God's will."

　　 Kano nodded, and then said again: "Are you going to find those on the list tomorrow?"

　　 "Yes, the faster this matter is handled, the smaller the variables." Lucien replied.

　　 "Well, it makes sense." Kano nodded, "But Peacock Street and Bernard Street are not particularly stable now. Would you like me to send a few more people with you."

　　 "No, no need." Lucien said, "Too many people can easily attract attention. If the royal party notices us, a few more people may not be safer. I will bring Jacques and Pierre."

　　 "If it were Joseph, I would definitely be willing to take more people. At this point, you might be more like Napoleon." Kano smiled.

　　 Lucien lived with his two entourages, Jacques and Pierre, at Cano’s house that day. The next morning, after they had another breakfast at Kano’s house, Kano went to the Ministry of War, and the three of them also went out and got on a public carriage on the street to Peacock Street. Go in the direction.
