They don't want me to work harder

[And you and Katyusha entered the office early to discuss future plans...]

Richard rubbed his hands together like an Indian bee.

It's time to show the real technology!

[After discussing all night, you and Katyusha sorted out twelve words]

[Establish a program, strengthen the organization, slow down the action, and attract foreign aid]

[The so-called establishment of a program means setting out clear goals for action.Specifically, everyone unites to defend the royal family, drive away the imperialists and their lackeys who oppress Connaught, and restore the country’s independence]

Richard learned that the people of the National Defense Army came from a variety of sources. At first glance, they all seemed dissatisfied with the status quo, but in fact, they all had their own motives and expectations.Some really want to fight against the empire, but some may just want to get their wages back from Standard Fruit, and some simply have a personal vendetta against Zero's party.

Of course, these people can still be used. Richard does not intend to kick people out, but he feels it is necessary to give everyone a clear direction and vision for moving forward.

But just proposing a program is not enough. Organizational construction must keep up, that is, the next three words...

[The so-called strong organization means to reorganize the existing National Defense Army and subdivide it into different functional departments, especially to build an intelligence system and a propaganda system for ordinary people.On this basis, we need to re-educate existing members in terms of their thinking and skills... You decide to take care of this yourself]

Richard knew that this would throw the Protectorate into chaos in the short term, but it would be worth it in the long run.

Otherwise, the chaotic organization, let alone resisting the empire, might let White stab him in the back next month and be punished in one fell swoop.

And since strong organizations take time, actions also need to change.

[The so-called slow action refers to abandoning the violent behavior of assassinating high-ranking officials of the Jero Party and Standard Fruit executives in the past, and instead killing low-level scoundrels, such as plantation supervisors.At the same time, threaten or bribe those who are greedy for life and fear death, and win over those with conscience]

From Richard's point of view, although the status of Jero's gang members and standard fruit directors like Walter was high, they were not very important.In the final analysis, they are just puppets of the empire's big shots. Killing a few people can replace a few. This kind of sporadic assassination is useless.

And the key point is that the security around them is also very strong. There must be sacrifices to assassinate them, which is not worth it at all.

On the contrary, the low-level losers are easier to kill because they are weak, and they prey on the people directly, which is the most hated. After being killed, the people will feel relieved... Then it is better to kill them.

Pick the persimmons that are soft and pinch them. This principle is really useful.

In addition, based on the principle of having more friends, Richard also felt that there was no need to kill those who were currently under Jero who could be won over.

The low-level officials are just making a living, and they may not be dissatisfied with the empire. Severe crackdowns on the die-hards among them, while the rest can show some relief or even simply cooperate, which can bring benefits.

As for the last three words...

[Recruiting foreign aid, as the name suggests, means looking for friends outside of Connaught.On a smaller scale, it was other nearby people who were oppressed by the empire, such as Prince Ram of the Saka Kingdom in the south.Speaking more broadly, it’s Alice, Veronica and Luvia...]

Although because of the missing four years, it can be imagined that the situation of the beauties will not be too good...

But that’s why we need to communicate and help each other, right?

The sooner we get in touch, the sooner everyone can unite.

If nothing else, being able to bring Luvia back would be a big help.

[After clarifying the plan, Katyusha suddenly became enlightened]

[Next, you start to hide behind the maid and gradually implement the new plan]

Chapter 137 Connaught, your prince is back

[Although there was some confusion at the beginning, and many people clearly opposed it, as you used your strength to help Katyusha carry out several major operations and improve your prestige, these noises were quickly suppressed]

[A few months have passed, and the benefits of the reform have gradually become apparent]

[The National Defense Army has become more united and its personnel quality has also been significantly improved.At the same time, you successfully contacted Veronica and Alice. They are currently dealing with their own problems and cannot spare time to see you, but they still gave you certain financial and intelligence assistance]

[Because your action method is more gentle and sinking, the recent personnel sacrifices have been greatly reduced, the success rate of the action has been greatly increased, and your reputation among the people has not declined but increased.]

[Moreover, the sheriffs and the army have secretly expressed goodwill to you, and even paid you protection fees in private to avoid being attacked, or sold the weapons and equipment they received from the empire.Whether they are acting out of dissatisfaction with the Empire or fear of you, this is good news]

When Li looked at this paragraph, he felt like he was facing the puppet army in the War of Resistance Against Japan...

But anyway, after all, most of these people were still his and his father's subordinates four years ago. As long as he regains power, they will be loyal again, and there is no need to kill them all.

[Your development momentum is getting better and better, your manpower has been expanded to [-], and three new secret camps have been established in Connaught]

[In addition, out of vigilance against White, you have been secretly guarding against the Redemption Alliance and even planted spies within them]

Hum hum, it’s rude to not reciprocate!

Spy, it’s only fair that everyone has one-sided, double-sided, and flipped-over beef noodles!

By the way, probably because he watched too much 007 in his previous life, Richard not only arranged for spies to infiltrate his opponents, but also personally designed many high-tech... ah no, high-magic gadgets.

For example, an alchemy equipment that looks like a beetle but can record and record video at the same time.

Relying on it, Richard was able to observe the entire meeting of White and his men within the Redemption Alliance.

then……

[A month later, you received this image...]

[In the video, White summoned all the cadres of the Redemption Alliance to discuss how to annex the National Defense Army]

[Except for a few close associates, most cadres expressed opposition and confusion about this. They believed that the Protectorate Army was an ally against the empire just like themselves, and the two sides should help each other rather than attack each other]

[But White claimed that the Protectorate Army had betrayed the path of justice, saying that you had recently stopped frequently assassinating high-level enemies because you were afraid of sacrifice and were greedy for life and feared death. I am afraid that you have secretly made peace with the empire]

[He made up a series of lies to slander you, and even lied that Katyusha fell in love with an imperial officer]

[At the end of the meeting, he also vaguely proposed that no matter what, the growth of the National Protectorate Army will take away their power and influence to redeem the alliance. If they win in the future, I am afraid they will be overpowered by you... Not now. Annexing you, maybe they will be annexed next year...]

[At this point, most people changed their minds. Only two people insisted on opposing, then left the meeting angrily, and were subsequently deprived of their positions]

Oh my god, what kind of insects are these?

Now that the situation has reached this point, you still want to fight for power, right?

No wonder no one can see anything wrong with White. Birds of a feather flock together, right?

also.

Everyone saw it, they were the ones who made the move first!Then it is only natural for me to fight back!

[You always pay attention to the movements of the Redemption Alliance and remind Katyusha to be vigilant]

[You cleverly avoided two proactive provocations from the Redemption Alliance]

[However, at the end of the month, White still locked down one of your strongholds and personally led a team to surround it on the grounds that he suspected that there was a traitor on your side.]

[The person in charge of the stronghold went to negotiate, but they insisted on searching the entire stronghold for evidence, and also tried to disarm the members of the national defense army at the scene]

[The Protectorate Army, on the other hand, thinks that the two sides are still allies and is unwilling to intensify the conflict. They are tolerant in every possible way and fall into passivity]

The old way.

The evidence was all hidden on his body, and he put it in every corner during the search. In the end, the frame-up was successful.

It's boring and I don't know if I can think of anything innovative.

[Having long understood the Redemption Alliance plan, you led your team to arrive and stopped White and others]

[In the face of their provocation, you did not hold back at all and slapped White in public]

[White was shocked for a long time, then became furious and wanted to take action, and then...]

[I was overthrown by your strength.The rest of the Redemption Alliance wanted to take action, but they were suppressed by the elites you brought]

[White shouted, falsely accusing you of being a master of the Empire. Your existence is evidence of the collusion between the Protectorate Army and the Empire in making peace!Many members of the National Defense Army were a little suspicious after hearing this]

[You took your time and released all the magic images you had accumulated before.With the live broadcast of the conspiracy within the Redemption Alliance, White's face became increasingly ugly]

[Although he still claimed that you were a traitor and a spy, you then ordered someone to search you. When the props prepared to frame the National Guard were found, he was completely speechless]

[Just when you were about to capture the members of the Redemption Alliance, White suddenly took out a firework from his pocket and shot it into the sky, exploding into the shape of a sword]

[Then, a sentry alarm came from the distance, saying that a large number of Connaught soldiers and sheriffs were coming towards the stronghold]

[But White laughed loudly and shouted that once the imperial army arrives, you rebels will definitely fail!He also said that the Imperial Sword Luvia has returned to the army, and Connaught will be transferred soon. If you don’t let her go now, you will all die under the opponent’s sword.]

【Everyone panicked】

Wuhu.

Now it was clear who the traitor was.

But Brother White, you are a bit unwise. Aren't you afraid that we will chop you down on the spot if we get excited?

As for the Imperial Sword... Well, I won't scare you with the truth.

[You didn’t panic at all and calmly asked the National Guards to escort the prisoners and retreat in batches]

[You yourself lead the remaining warriors into the dense forest next to the only way, and let the summons move back and forth, creating a scene of flying dust and scattered magic power, successfully making the enemies think that there is a large army ambushing here, and they dare not go ahead】

[In the end, White's "Cloud-Piercing Arrow" did not produce any effect. All the National Protectorate troops covered it step by step, retreated in an orderly manner, and successfully reached another stronghold]

[This aspect proves the current high level of the National Defense Army and proves that the previous rectifications are effective]

[However, everyone is still in a low mood. Firstly, they are shocked by the fact that their allies are traitors, and secondly, they are also worried about the news about the Imperial Sword mentioned by White]

Damn, what's so scary about this.

Just when Richard was about to say something to boost morale, new text popped up:

[As soon as you returned to the office, you saw a figure waiting in the corner for a long time]

【It's Luvia】

what?

Okay, this is kind of scary...

[Before you could say anything, she came close to you and occupied your mouth with her pink lips]

["Richard, I miss you so much."]

Luvia is different from Veronica. As an imperial officer, she is generally a decent person.

But under unusual circumstances...

She will express her love passionately.

[Tonight, you and Luvia spent an unforgettable night]

[Because of her identity, she left quietly at dawn the next day. With her gold-level strength, no one else in the camp could detect her]

[She left a box of gold coins and a bag of tonics for you on the table. The former can help you develop the National Defense Army, and the latter... After you wake up, your weak body tells you that you need these now. medicine】

[The next day you officially learned that Luvia was transferred to replace the promoted Albert and serve as the deputy commander of the Gulf Army, and will visit many small countries in the south under the pretext of visiting in the near future]
