Chapter 836 Intelligence
Chapter 836 Intelligence
Winter passed and spring came, and in the blink of an eye it was summer again. Chen Cheng had been busy in the base for half a year.
During the past six months, thanks to the efforts of Chen Cheng and King Pingbei, the base area finally got back on track.
At the same time, the newly formed First Army has now passed its recruit training period. Through more than half a year of recruitment and training, the First Military Academy has also completed its initial establishment.
Here, not only the original cold weapon and magic tactics are taught, but also the latest firearms tactics. At the same time, the training is not only about battlefield command talents, but also personnel management, material allocation, logistics support and so on.
He also established the First School of Political Science and Law.
This college trains administrative management talents.
Of course, in the past two months, when Yurijin saw the construction of the two colleges, one literary and one military, he also reported to the higher authorities, wanting to establish a college of mechanical engineering.
After reading this report, Chen Cheng remembered the new School of Natural Philosophy he established in Huidun City.
At that time, it was just a training to lay the foundation, with the intention of providing qualified workers for factories towards industrialization.
Only a few, like Ximov, the first batch of students he personally taught, were truly out of this category.
Chen Cheng did not want what Yurikin proposed to be the same as what Huidun proposed. Of course, Chen Cheng would also implement the children's education, but for the college that Yurikin proposed to establish, Chen Cheng still preferred the direction of advanced military research.
It would be best if it could be combined with the Luan Bird No. 1 that he had made for Feisili to complete the magical upgrade of the existing weapons.
Because Chen Cheng knew that with the current scale of the base, the First Army of 10,000 people was already the limit of the base, so in order to prevent the upcoming encirclement and suppression, they had to implement the elite route.
Improving weapons and equipment is an extremely important point.
While Chen Cheng and his men were busy building their base, a silent danger was gradually approaching them.
"Can the news be confirmed? Is North City really lost?"
Grand Duke Rusov asked, looking at the spy in front of him.
"The Grand Duke has confirmed that the Lord of Duolong City has indeed been controlled by someone. The person in charge of North City now is a man named Bourne. He is very powerful, but his subordinates cannot see it."
The spy half-knelt on the ground, lowered his head and reported to Rusov.
From his perspective, he could only see the hem of Rusov's robe, and underneath that he could see a trace of something red and white.
Rusov stood up from his chair.
"Can't you see? Then you should know where he came from, right?"
Although Rusov did not use any harsh words, the spy who reported to him was so nervous that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Because what Rusov hated most was people telling him they didn't know the word.
Because he started his career in the military, and he was also known as the undefeated god of war in the army. The reason why he was able to win every battle was because he attached great importance to intelligence.
After making Rusov wait for a long time, the spy could only reply:
"Grand Duke, I haven't yet ascertained the origins of this Bourne, but I suspect his origins are related to Duolong's expedition to the northern desert to siege the empire's orphans a year and a half ago."
"Oh, is it so?"
Just when the spy thought he had passed the test, Rusov grabbed his crown with one hand.
"You mean to say that you want me to fight an opponent based only on your guesses, when the situation is uncertain?"
"Grand Duke, please spare me, Grand Duke, please spare me. I will definitely find out his background when I return. Please spare me."
However, Rusov pinched it mercilessly and said:
"Please spare my life. If this is a war, then my army has already been defeated because of you. So according to military law, you should die."
The spy's head exploded like a rotten watermelon, red and white spraying everywhere in the room due to the intracranial pressure created by his palm.
Rusov threw the body aside, and then looked at his palms which were covered with red and white things.
He put his palm to his mouth, licked it with his tongue, then frowned and said:
"A pig's brain, full of fishy smell."
Then he spat at the corpse and strode out through the door.
Immediately, a servant came in with a bucket and a rag, and quickly began to clean the room.
Rusov came to the next room, where there was also a spy half-kneeling on the ground waiting for his arrival.
"Talk about it, I don't want to hear any more nonsense, because your pig brains are almost affecting my appetite today."
Rusov sat down on the main seat, and the red and white stains on his body had disappeared. Only the hem of his robe could vaguely see some traces.
"The Grand Duke's subordinates have already investigated the situation. Bourne, who controls the Lord of Duolong City, is indeed an orphan of the empire. Moreover, they not only control the Lord of Duolong City, but also all the towns and villages within the northern city are under their control.
In addition, they have been conducting a conscription campaign in the past six months. According to estimates, the number of conscriptions should be around 8,000 to 10,000 people. Combined with their existing armed forces, the strength should be between 10,000 and 12,000 people.
Judging from Lord Duolong's previous defeat and escape, their existing armed forces should be no less powerful than the Grand Duke's two most elite ace legions."
It can be said that this spy has almost figured out the strengths and weaknesses of the base.
Although some of the information was just his guesses and analysis, they were all reasonable and well-founded guesses, so Rusov finally got satisfactory information this time.
"You've done very well. From now on, you will be the captain of the Grand Duke's spies."
"Thank you for your cultivation, Grand Duke. I will repay your kindness with all my heart and soul."
"Okay, get up."
Then Rusov stood up from his chair, patted him on the shoulder, and then he left with his hands behind his back.
However, just as the spy was about to leave with the Grand Duke, he was stopped at the gate.
He was about to frown and ask when the two people who were blocking him pounced on him, immediately covered his mouth, and locked his limbs, preventing him from resisting.
"Deal with this traitor."
Rusov just said this coldly.
At this time, the spy knew that he had been exposed, but he couldn't understand why he was exposed even though he had given him the information.
"You don't understand, huh? Do you really think I'm a fool? I wouldn't have thought you'd take advantage of my need for intelligence and send people to infiltrate me?
And don't you think you know too much and are too smart? With your intelligence level and analytical ability, how could you still be an unknown little spy under this Grand Duke? "
"And I also want to thank you, because you actually sent me detailed intelligence, so I don't have to worry about how to obtain your information."
Then Rusov waved his hand, and the spy was dragged away and dealt with secretly.
