After coming out of the minister's office, Kong Ze did not waste time at all, and directly called all the important subordinates who were still working in the department today to his office.

After these months of working together, the subordinates have already understood that their boss is by no means a fool who can be easily fooled, so they are all respectful, and for a while, the office is obviously crowded with people but it is very quiet.

Obviously, everyone has arrived, but Kong Ze still did not speak, and still sat quietly in his seat, he wanted to enjoy this feeling of "I don't speak, no one dares to speak", and he wanted to enjoy the pleasure brought by his exercise of power.

Looking around at his subordinates, his expression was haughty and indifferent, his pale face was shaved clean, and his eyes were stiff as if he were wearing a delicate mask. The man who was extremely humble in the minister's office had changed his face at the moment.

He was entitled to treat his subordinates in this way, because he was a capable man and an extraordinary man, and he firmly believed in that.

And his subordinates thought that this shrewd boss was thinking about some major issue, so they didn't dare to come out and waited for him to speak.

After this silence lasted for a while, Kong Ze finally felt that it was almost over.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Your Excellency has just summoned me, and he is very pleased with our work at this stage, and he wants me to convey his gratitude."

This opening sentence loosened the atmosphere in the office, but still no one spoke.

"But ......"

With this word, the atmosphere is tense again.

"Your Excellency the Minister thinks we should do better. And think we can do better. Kong Ze glanced at his subordinates again, "The republican radical organization we discovered recently, the minister attaches great importance to it. Directly instruct us to do everything we can to get to the bottom of these people and thwart any conspiracy of them......"

Then, Kong Ze waved his hand, very majestic.

"Pierre, this is what you investigated, you can tell everyone in detail."

"Yes." One of his men standing at the front nodded in agreement, then turned to the people behind him to explain in detail what he had recently invoked. Regarding the situation of the newly emerging republican militant organization called the "121 Comrades Association".

Because of the short period of time and the fact that the informants he has developed have not yet gained the trust of the other organization, there is still very little information about it. But even that was enough to surprise the others. Exclamations and whispers slowly broke the silence in the office.

After letting his subordinates discuss for a while, Kong Ze coughed lightly. Then everyone returned to silence.

"As you have just heard. What we are seeing now is a sinister political group bent on destabilizing the rule of the dynasty by force, these traitors hate any existing order and do not want to make peace with the government, so any moral persuasion is meaningless, and they can only be solved by force. ”

The subordinates nodded their heads one after another, indicating that they understood what the chief meant.

"Of course, wait until they make a big deal -- like they did before -- and then crack down on them. In fact, they have already caused immeasurable damage to the government, so our job is to prevent it from happening. Smash the hands and heads of these radicals before their plot succeeds. That is exactly what the Prime Minister and His Excellency the Minister expect us to do...... Ladies and gentlemen, is there anything you would like to say? ”

The subordinates looked at each other secretly for a few moments, then whispered to unify their opinions, and then one of the oldest and highest-ranking spoke.

"Sir, may I take the liberty of asking, is it your lord's intention to let us men deal with these vicious bandits and scoundrels?"

"Yes." Kong Ze nodded slightly, "Are you afraid?" ”

"The rats who hide in the gutter are now thinking all day long about causing trouble and plunging the king into blood and fire. We must thwart their plot and bring them all to justice. Kong Ze looked at his subordinates expressionlessly, "King Bixia needs us to be loyal to our duty, and we must not let him down." ”

Sure enough, as soon as he heard Kong Ze's instructions, the faces of his subordinates instantly became ugly.

"Sir, of course we won't be afraid of those criminals...... although the answer was very high-sounding, but the other party was obviously a little hesitant, which greatly reduced the credibility of this kind of statement, "Compared to the safety of the dynasty, our personal lives are of course insignificant, and we are also happy to sacrifice our lives for Bixia." But...... Wouldn't it be a senseless sacrifice if we paid with our lives and still didn't strike a blow to the traitor? ”

This kind of thinking of his subordinates had long been expected by Kong Ze, so he was not surprised.

This radical republican organization, at first glance, intends to follow the example of its predecessors, and insists on rebellion with open fire, how can it be afraid of the police? If a single or small group of police officers come to the door, I am afraid that they will be shot to death directly by people as an appetizer before the rebellion.

And, not to mention the rebellion of the most vicious people, it was still a very dangerous task to go into the lair of the bandits and be loyal to the king.

In the European cities of this era, the lower blocks were often densely populated and crowded, so the sanitary conditions were very poor, so that epidemics such as plague, cholera, leprosy or scarlet fever and other strange and unnamed diseases occurred from time to time. And the poorest and dirtiest neighborhoods are clearly the ones with the most rebellious sentiment – the two are directly proportional.

And the medical conditions in this era are quite regrettable, once accidentally infected with this epidemic in those neighborhoods, there will definitely be a fear of life at that time.

As a result, for the sake of their own safety, the police are rarely willing to enter these neighborhoods, even with orders from their superiors, and no one likes to risk their lives.

Mr. Kong Ze, who came up step by step from the bottom, was completely aware of the thoughts of his subordinates, and also knew that if he forced them, he would definitely be disobeyed by the yang and the yin, so he was thinking of countermeasures from the beginning, using other strategies to deal with those dynastic enemies lurking in the shadows, some more effective strategies than casting a wide net.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not telling you to go straight to the rebels' lair, you are not familiar with the terrain there, and there are not many of them, and even if you go, you will only die in vain."

Although no one spoke or showed a happy expression, Kong Ze keenly sensed that everyone was relieved.

Hmph, you think too simply, it's good to have you, he laughed secretly in his heart.

"We need to broaden our thinking and not just think about that." He deliberately slowed down his speech, and his subordinates better understood what he meant, "Think about it, since these outlaws are planning to launch an armed rebellion in the royal capital, then they will definitely need to hoard weapons and a large amount of money to prepare, so we need to start from these two aspects to cut off their plans before they cause trouble." ”

"You mean ......?" Some of his clever subordinates seemed to understand what he meant.

"Yes, I'm going to draw some dangerous areas, and then set up some secret sentry posts on the alleys or bridges that are the only way to enter them, and seize them as soon as I find anyone trying to bring a large number of guns or ammunition into them." Kong Ze slowly spoke his thoughts, "This way we can curb the speed and scale of their weapons hoarding, and buy time for our next investigation." If someone wants to come out and destroy these posts, so much the better, and the rats themselves send themselves into the sun, and they lose their greatest reliance on the convenience of our disposal of them, and then they will be nothing. ”

"But if you just set up some isolated sentry posts, it will play a very limited role, huh?" One of his subordinates raised his own question.

"Yes, so we need to create an agitated patrol team to intensify patrols in various areas, especially at night, in order to deal with all kinds of emergencies. As soon as they hear gunshots or other unusual situations, the patrol will run to the sentry post where the accident occurred to provide support. Kong Zechong nodded approvingly at the subordinate who thought of the problem, "Your Excellency the Minister and Mr. Prime Minister have agreed to my suggestion and are ready to send personnel to organize some patrols. ”

Then he looked at his men, "These patrols are newly formed, and they need smart and capable people who are familiar with the situation in the city to lead them, and I think you are very suitable for this duty......

After hearing his words, some of the ambitious subordinates' eyes lit up, and they obviously saw the benefits; Others, who were more lazy, were visibly discouraged - once they had accepted the appointment, they would obviously have to work the night shift for a while, and they would not be able to return home until the early hours of the morning.

Kong Ze pretended not to care about the reactions of his subordinates on the surface, but in fact he kept them in mind, and he secretly blacklisted those subordinates who were lazy in his heart, and was ready to replace them all when he had free time one day - he absolutely couldn't tolerate subordinates who had no ambition and just wanted to live comfortably, and he liked those who were willing to temporarily abandon comfort for Xiangshang, just as he liked himself.

After explaining this arrangement, he said another consideration of his own.

"In addition, not only do we have to block their access to weapons, but we also have to try to block the source of their arming themselves. Therefore, during this time I am going to carry out an inspection of all the large weapons stores in Paris, and if you find any abnormal business conditions, you all have to report to me, no family will have nothing to do with buying guns for themselves, if there are often people who buy weapons in large quantities, it must be unscrupulous, as long as you catch one or two, things will be easy to do, understand? ”

"Got it!" (To be continued......)
