Chapter 359: Trainee Spy
East of Orich, the capital of East Frisia, the first cadets of the spy school have finally graduated. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Then, they're going to come out for an internship......
Originally, Marin planned to train these 100 students to become super spies like 007. However, reality is impossible. Why? Because these students are uneducated, uneducated!
After all, they are all selected from the common people, and almost all of them have no culture. At most, it's just talented. But because of their civilian origins, these people are likely to be poorly educated. Therefore, all the 100 students, there are only a dozen or so, although they have never gone to school, but later when they were apprentices, they learned to write and calculate, and they did not even have the level of graduating from primary school, at most the level of the second grade of primary school.
Even so, the dozen or so spy cadets who were in the second grade of primary school were also trained by the spy school as top students......
Therefore, it is impossible to make these uneducated students proficient in several Chinese languages like 007. Proficiency in Frisian (which can be taken as English) and German as a Frisian cadet is considered to be strong.
Moreover, the first batch of spy cadets had the main areas of mission, namely Denmark, Saxony and Brandenburg. Therefore, the students selected this time are mainly Danish-speaking students and High German in the eastern region. The Frisians, who were naturally fluent in Frisian and German, were trained by only a handful of people. The direction of their mission is also the Netherlands and England.
At the graduation ceremony, Vice-Chancellor Kohler (who was in Rome and couldn't make it to the graduation ceremony) gave an enthusiastic speech and presented the students with certificates of completion......
Why is a Certificate of Completion? Special meow, only one year of training spies, eligible to get a diploma? It's almost enough to give a certificate of completion......
Under normal circumstances, these guys need to be cultivated for at least 5 years. Of these, at least 3 years are spent studying cultural classes. Because, the cultural foundation of these people is too poor...... Have you ever seen an illiterate spy who can't read information?
So, strictly speaking, this batch of spies is not qualified. At best, it's just a little better than Kohler's traditional group of "bag inquiry" level spies.
After all, when these people were selected, they were carefully selected by Marin according to the requirements of later generations. First of all, in terms of appearance, it must be absolutely ordinary, not too handsome, nor too ugly. Because, whether you are handsome or ugly, it is easy to attract the attention of the enemy. And an ordinary-looking public face that is not easy to be remembered is what spies need the most.
The second is to look like an honest person, so that people are not easy to suspect you. Like the "bag inquiry" spies recruited by Kohler, many of them are thieves, or have a pair of eyes that are sneaky, and they don't look like good people at first glance. This kind of person is easily spotted by enemy counterintelligence professionals.
And the spy students selected by Marin are all honest and look like stupid roots, you will suspect that they are spies?
Moreover, the spy doors of the spy school are specially trained. That is, when staring, the eyes must not be erratic, but natural, so as not to be noticed by the target.
Under such strict training, the students of the spy school are stronger than Kohler's "bag inquiry" level spies, so it is a matter of course.
It's just that the cultural level of this group of spy students is too poor, and whether they can understand complex intelligence is a problem. Therefore, when they graduate, the title is not a spy, but a trainee spy...... Anyway, that's what Marlin prescribes......
Coincidentally, these trainee spies had just graduated and got an internship - George, Duke of Saxony, had gathered his army into East Friesland, didn't this give the trainee spies a chance to intern?
In addition to the more than 30 Danish spies, who were excluded because they were not good at German, the remaining 60 or so trainee spies were sent to find out the intelligence of the Saxon coalition forces.
What are you doing to find out information? Naturally, it was passed on to Charles II, Duke of Geddes......
This time, Marin was determined to hope that the Saxon coalition army would be defeated, so when he secretly provided weapons and armor to the Gedse army, he also planned to reveal the information of the coalition army to the Duchy of Gedus.
As for how to get spies into the coalition forces? This is too simple - aren't there 4,000 Flemish warriors belonging to the Habsburgs in the coalition army? As a subordinate of the emperor, Marin sent people to provide food and various services to the Flemish legions, right? Even George had to look up at these 4,000 Flemish legionnaires. Because, it was the man sent by the emperor.
Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the Flemish Legion is indeed high, and it will definitely be arranged by George to an important position. For example, when the main force of the flanks or something......
Having learned the lesson of the last defeat, George, Duke of Saxony, did not rush into West Friesland this time, but rehearsed a battle formation in East Friesland. At the same time, it is also to unify the organization of all teammates and arrange tasks. For example, how many people are in this force, and should it be arranged in the center or on the left flank, or on the right flank...... Or, to be used as a reserve......
Because the Flemish regiment has good combat effectiveness, it must be put into the main battle unit, either the main force of the left flank or the main force of the right flank. In the name of condolences to the Flemish Legion, Kohler frequently sent trainee spies into the Flemish Legion's garrison to secretly inquire about the news.
In the face of the East Friesian lazy people who could not stop delivering bread and meat, the Flemish legion was also welcome. After all, the food consumption of 4,000 people is also terrifying. The East Friesian lazy were willing to bear part of the expenses, and the generals of the Flemish legions were happy to see it happen.
It's just that they don't know that there are many spies who send them bread and meat, and they are quietly keeping the information of the coalition forces, including the Flemish Legion, in their hearts, intending to pass it on to Charles II, Duke of Geddes, as intelligence.
For this reason, Marlin sent a secret letter to Charles II, Duke of Geddes, telling them to take it easy after the start of the battle, and it was best not to beat the Flemish legions belonging to the Habsburgs too badly.
Why? The defeat of the combined Saxon forces by the Geddes army was not too much of a problem. After all, the Saxons came from the southeastern part of Germany, spanning most of Germany, and it was not easy to come to the northwest to fight for hegemony. Therefore, if the Gedes army defeated the Saxon army, it was defeated, and if it was killed, it was killed, and there was no big problem.
However, the Flemish Legion is different...... That was the elite of the Habsburgs in the Netherlands, and if they were beaten badly by the Duchy of God, it would be tantamount to offending the emperor fiercely.
Offended the emperor fiercely, and the emperor would definitely take revenge. The Habsburgs controlled the Netherlands, close to West Friesland and the Duchy of Geddes. If you offend this evil neighbor, just wait and continue to be beaten.
And, most importantly, Marin is the emperor's younger brother......
If the emperor decides to take revenge on the Duchy of Gedes, as the emperor's hardcore younger brother, Marin will most likely need to send troops to the war.
This time, Marin evaded the emperor and refused to help the Duchy of Saxony fight, which is understandable. After all, George's Duchy of Saxony had a grudge against Marin, and Marin refused to send troops to help the Saxons, which was also a matter of course.
But when it was the turn of the Habsburgs to officially lead the troops, it was different. Marin, the "ironcore" of the Habsburgs, was obliged to send troops......
So, Marin told Charles II that it was okay to crush this coalition army, but it was best to avoid causing too much damage to the Flemish legions. Otherwise, once Maximilian I decided to take revenge on the Duchy of God, Marin and his East Frisian land, he would have to send troops to help......
And Kohler sent trainee spies into the coalition camp to investigate, also in order to get the layout of the coalition battlefield. At the very least, it is possible to know which wing the Flemish legion will be placed on. In this way, after sending the information to the Geddes, Charles II could also get his army to avoid the side of the Flemish legion and attack the other. In this way, even if the Duchy of Gedes was victorious, it would not be offensive to the emperor and die, causing revenge from the Habsburg army. And Marin doesn't have to send troops to fight each other with the army of the Duchy of Gedesi......
