Chapter 606 There seems to be a big conspiracy

It is common for two countries to send envoys to each other when they are at war.

Archduke Suarez had sent envoys to Prince Moritz several times before, all of which condemned the Kingdom of Gaul for interfering in the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Tarragona and demanded that the Kingdom of Gaul withdraw its troops and that the affairs of the Kingdom of Tarragona be resolved by its own people.

Everyone knew that the condemnation by Archduke Suarez's envoy was of no use and was just a political gesture.

After work, the envoy had a meal, and then went to Archduke Suarez, chatting and laughing with the envoy of the Kingdom of Gaul. The envoy of the Kingdom of Gaul sternly refuted, had a meal, bought some local specialties as spoils of war, and went back.

The envoy who came today was Count Sampaio, the cousin of Archduke Suarez. Old Louis thought that this was just another routine matter, so he asked Prince Moritz to receive him.

As people get older, their brains easily become tired after thinking at high speed.

Old Louis finally understood why Ferdinand wanted to drink happy water before his death. Drinking it can indeed replenish physical strength and refresh the mind, and it tastes much better than the stimulants made by pharmacists.

People have discovered that happy water tastes better when it is chilled.

In the past, old Louis would use his own aluminum cup to fill a glass of cold happy water and sip it slowly.

But one day he saw young people blowing directly into the bottle, which looked very enjoyable. Out of curiosity, he learned it once, and he no longer used aluminum cups.

Old Louis had just drunk half a bottle when the attendant reported that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had arrived.

"Let him in," said old Louis, "and give him a bottle of happy water."

A large number of medicines are needed on the battlefield, especially those for treating wound inflammation and gastrointestinal diseases.

Today, the pharmaceutical industry of the Principality of Wessen is one of the leaders. Allicin capsules are extremely effective in treating gastrointestinal diseases, and the Gallic Army also purchases large quantities of gauze and other products.

Little Louis did not make any achievements in the army, so he was stopped and sent to purchase medicines.

Today, little Louis just came back from purchasing a batch of medicines and came to report on his work.

"Father," Little Louis took out two plastic bottles as big as his fist, "This is the latest disinfectant wine produced by Wesson Works. It is suitable for cleaning wounds and will not fester."

The two bottles contained iodine and cotton balls soaked in iodine respectively. The labels had instructions on the front and "Do Not Drink" written on the back with patterns and various words.

Old Louis picked up a bottle of iodine and studied the instructions carefully.

At this time, the servant came to him in a hurry to report an unexpected news: "The envoy proposed to Prince Moritz the marriage between Baron Moritz and his cousin Medello."

Old Louis was stunned and asked, "Which Baron Moritz?"

The next moment he knew who it was: "Eugene?"

The attendant replied, "Yes."

Little Louis had a good relationship with Eugene. He laughed and said, "Haha, it seems that Eugene can't be as free as before. He has to be tied up."

At first, old Louis was still wondering whether this was a plot by Archduke Suarez to alienate himself and Prince Moritz.

In the army, discord between the king and the commander-in-chief is a taboo.

However, little Louis' laughter made his heart skip a beat.

Old Louis waved his hand and said, "I know."

"I'm tired, you all can leave, I'll go back to my room to rest."

Little Louis didn't think much about it, thinking that his father was really tired, so he stood up and said, "Father, I will take my leave first, you have a good rest."

He didn't know the identity of the envoy and thought it was a nobleman from his country who came to propose marriage. He thought Eugene might return home because of this, so he was naturally happy.

He knew that the Principality of Wessen had sent troops, but he had previously remotely controlled the purchase of medicines in the royal capital, and some people who stayed in the country were very secretive about Eugene's success, so they did not mention it.

Until now, little Louis still didn't know that Eugene was the commander-in-chief of the Western Front Corps of the Wesson Army. Old Louis sat alone in the room, his face terribly gloomy.

Little Louis' laughter made him alert. He thought back to what happened today and realized something was wrong.

The large-scale attack proposed by Prince Moritz earlier seemed to be fine, but what if there was another hidden agenda behind it... for example, little Louis, Prince Moritz, Archduke Suarez, or even Frederick were colluding with each other.

According to Prince Moritz's plan, the further the army moved forward and farther it was from the rear, the larger the gap would become.

If Eugene led his troops to appear behind them at this time, cutting off their supplies and attacking them from both sides, the army would undoubtedly be defeated.

Just now, Prince Moritz suggested sending an envoy to win over the nobles in the plateau area, but those who lead the troops certainly do not want to give up the opportunity to earn military merit on the battlefield. At this time, little Louis came, and no one would object to letting him preside over the envoy to show sincerity.

What if the delegation went there to ask the nobles on the plateau to open a path for Eugene, or even send guides and provide supplies?
Isn't it too coincidental that the envoy of Archduke Suarez and little Louis arrived on the same day?
Such a big thing requires someone who can speak to both sides to act as a liaison, or even such a person to plan such a conspiracy.

No matter how you look at this person, left or right, up or down, he looks like Grand Duke Wesson.

The more old Louis thought about it, the more frightened he became. He found that it all made sense, and he couldn't help trembling.

Anything can happen in a chaotic army, so it would be easy for something to happen to you.

By that time, I would be gone and little Louis would naturally succeed me. What else could others say?
Everyone involved in this matter is a winner.

Louis the Younger succeeded to the throne.

Prince Moritz assisted Louis the Younger in ascending the throne, further increasing his power.

Archduke Suarez could "drive away" the Gallic army, win over the domestic nobles, defeat Duke Aransati and ascend the throne of the Kingdom of Tarragona.

Grand Duke Wesson...

Old Louis shuddered again as he thought of him.

Everyone knows that Grand Duke Wesson loves his regular lover so much that he even gave the Queen's mistress a city.

Old Louis already knew that Frederick had found poison in a vase in Antonia's old house in Paris. If he found out that he had instructed Antonia to poison his lover Françoise...

More and more sweat appeared on old Louis' forehead.

He felt a little regretful. He just wanted to stir up internal strife between Antonia, who became the Queen of the Rhine Confederation, and Frederick. Who could have thought that this would become the stick that sounded his death knell.

Old Louis was glad that he had seen through the huge conspiracy in advance and began to think about countermeasures.

He wanted to return home, but the idea was quickly dismissed, as allowing Louis the Younger to win over and control the army would have more serious consequences.

There are many factions in the Gallic army, and now Prince Moritz's faction is the main force in the army of the Kingdom of Tarragona.

If he wants to survive, he needs someone to restrain Prince Moritz.

There is another big faction in the Gallic army, Duke Rollo in the north.

It was just that a few years ago, Duke Rollo suffered a great defeat in the Kingdom of Lisenburg and lost his power, so he was unable to send troops to the Kingdom of Tarago to gain military merit.

It was Duke Rollo who put the blame for the defeat on Eugene and made enemies with Prince Moritz, so he used him to balance things out.

Old Louis was about to call his servants, but then he immediately thought, what if those people realized that their conspiracy was discovered by him, would they become desperate and do something desperate?
So he went to his desk and wrote several long letters, one to Duke Rollo, one to Frederick, and another to some great nobles in the country.

Saving lives is important, so all kinds of promises are made without any charge.

On the one hand, he ordered Duke Rollo to organize a large army to come to the Kingdom of Tarraco, and asked the senior officials left behind in the country to cooperate and try to keep it secret, under the pretext of not letting Archduke Suarez know.

On the other hand, he could keep Frederick steady, put the blame on Antonia, and distance himself from the matter.
