12th of June, Rabat City, Morocco Province.
The news that Mohammed VI had appeared in Algeria and established a kingdom in exile made Ouyang Shuo hastily end his inspection of Morocco Province and return to Rabat City.
At the governor's office.
Mulanyue, the governor of Morocco Province who had returned with Ouyang Shuo, held her first political meeting since taking office. The four county governors and the four directors of the governor's office were all present.
Ouyang Shuo sat at the side and listened, making all the officials present feel pressured.
On the way back, Ouyang Shuo and Mulanyue had a detailed discussion on how to eliminate the influence of Mohammed VI establishing a kingdom in exile and ensure the stability of Morocco Province.
Mu Lanyue had directly given the order for this meeting to be held.
"The offices at all levels must strengthen their patrols. Once they find someone spreading rumors, they must be arrested immediately. They must not be tolerated. At the same time, pay attention to the direction of public opinion and expose the absurd behavior of Mohammed VI during his reign. Let the people realize under whose rule they can live a good life. "
"The resettlement work of the counties and counties must be expedited. Before the immigrants arrive, we must make preparations to accept them. Do not be negligent. This work will be included in the governor's office's annual key assessment. If it is done well, I will report it to the imperial court for merit. If it is not done well, prepare to lose your job. "
When the officials heard this, they replied in unison, "We will obey the governor's orders!"
Ouyang Shuo nodded to himself. Although Mulanyue was young, she could still hold her ground in a big situation. This little girl already had a hint of the demeanor of a feudal official.
With a little more training, she would become a good helper. Ouyang Shuo had not misjudged her.
…
After the meeting, Ouyang Shuo summoned the Black Snake who had rushed over.
When he saw the king, the Black Snake immediately apologized, "The Black Snake Guards did not do their job well. Please punish us, Your Majesty!"
Ouyang Shuo waved his hand and said, "This matter is not your fault."
The overseas intelligence network established by the Black Snake Guards was still very weak. They did not have a foundation in the eastern mountains of Morocco and the Algerian region. It was normal that they could not find Mohammed VI.
Another point was that Mohammed VI and his party had appeared in Algeria's capital, Algiers, so they must have passed through an official courier station.
In that case, after Mohammed VI entered the country, the Algerian royal family was involved.
Algeria was also an important member of the Mediterranean Sea. Ouyang Shuo had reason to suspect that the Mediterranean Sea was behind this series of events, including the Sirius Pirate Group's attack on Friendship City.
It could even be said that it had the shadow of the [Silver Hand]. Without the coordination of the Silver Hand, they would never have been able to come up with such a comprehensive plan.
His purpose was simple. Firstly, he wanted to disrupt the Great Xia Dynasty's global strategy and sow discord between the Great Xia Dynasty, the Mediterranean Sea, and the African Continent. Secondly, he wanted to increase his bargaining chips in the negotiations with the Great Xia Dynasty.
In such an important negotiation, whoever had more bargaining chips would have more confidence and chances of success.
A further consideration would probably be the conflict of interest between the two sides in the African colonization. If the Great Xia Dynasty were to gain a firm foothold on the African continent, the European and American members of the Silver Hand would be uneasy.
The Silver Hand had never given up on restraining the Great Xia Dynasty.
"Our opponents are very difficult to deal with." Ouyang Shuo sighed.
Hearing that, the Black Snake nodded with a solemn expression. It was only when they arrived overseas that the Black Snake felt the difficulty of carrying out intelligence work. There were traps and obstacles everywhere.
Most of the time, problems could not be solved with money.
Especially when they were out of Asia, the difference in race made it difficult for the Black Snake Guards to move around. The fact that the Black Snake Guards' overseas intelligence network could develop to its current scale was due to the Black Snake's brilliant methods and good leadership.
It was precisely because he realized that the [Silver Hand] might be hiding behind the scenes that Ouyang Shuo was very cautious about Algeria. If he were to go to war with Algeria at this time, he would undoubtedly fall into the [Silver Hand]'s trap.
In that case, not only would the negotiations with the Mediterranean Sea be forced to stop, but the African continent's suspicion of the Great Xia Dynasty would also reach its peak. It would be impossible to talk about cooperation, and it would be exactly what the other party wanted.
To say the least, Algeria was not a pushover like Morocco. Once the war started, if the Mediterranean Sea countries and North African countries were to participate, the Great Xia Dynasty would definitely be dragged into the quagmire of war.
Otherwise, how would the Algerian royal family have the confidence to make such a declaration?
A murderous look flashed in Black Snake's eyes as he said, "Your Majesty, I have arranged for someone to kill Mohammed VI."
Ouyang Shuo waved his hand and said, "Mohammed VI naturally has to die, but this matter cannot be rushed. We need to have sufficient patience. The other party is being so high-profile. Perhaps they have already set up a trap and are waiting for us to take the bait. "
"…" Black Snake fell silent.
Ouyang Shuo said, "When Mohammed VI left, didn't he bring a team of imperial guards with him? Let's start with the family members they left behind in Rabat City and patiently set up a trap to catch a big fish. For now, Morocco Province is not in chaos, so we still have time. In addition, the Black Snake Guards have to cooperate with the governor-general's office in the near future to clean up Morocco Province. With Mohammed VI's words, This King thinks that those rats hiding in the shadows are probably very happy, right? This King can use this opportunity to clean them up. "
"Your humble servant understands!"
Black Snake nodded with a murderous look. Morocco Province was about to have another bloody storm.
Ouyang Shuo rubbed his forehead and leaned back in his chair. He waved his hand and said, "Go make the arrangements. Tell the men below not to be discouraged. This King still has great trust in the Black Snake Guards. "
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty!"
Black Snake cupped his fists as a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
The appearance of Mohammed VI in Algeria had put the secret agents of the Black Snake Guards in charge of tracking Mohammed VI under great pressure. With the King's words, they could die without regrets.
In the large study, Ouyang Shuo leaned back in his chair alone. He closed his eyes and pondered. He looked a little tired. Recently, things had happened one after another, making Ouyang Shuo feel a little tired.
After a long time, Ouyang Shuo opened his eyes and muttered to himself, "It's really getting more and more interesting!"
Although he was tired, he had to continue fighting when it was time to fight.
Ouyang Shuo reinvigorated himself and wrote a letter to Violet. The negotiations in the Mediterranean Sea had to continue. If the negotiation team gave up halfway or acted on impulse and did not want to talk anymore, then it would truly fulfill the wishes of the Silver Hand.
In the letter, Ouyang Shuo urged Violet to do a good job of appeasing the members of the negotiation team. He told them to calm down and withstand the pressure. At the same time, he asked Caria to mediate and find a way to continue the negotiations.
Among the Mediterranean Sea lords, there were still a large number of lords who did not want to shed all pretense of cordiality. As long as they used their brains and diplomatic wisdom, Ouyang Shuo believed that the current difficulties could be overcome.
The key was not to be thrown into confusion.
In dealing with such thorny problems, China's wisdom could often break the ice.
At the end of the letter, Ouyang Shuo wrote, "If the negotiations are successful, all of you will be greatly rewarded when you return to Shanhai City. I won't be stingy with the title of nobility."
At the moment, the greatest reward of the dynasty, and also the highest honor, was the title of nobility.
With such a generous reward, there was no need to worry that the members of the negotiation team would not do their best.
…
The next morning, Ouyang Shuo packed his luggage and prepared to return to Shanhai City.
With Mulan Lanyue and Shi Dakai, two big shots in the Moroca Province, Ouyang Shuo was very relieved. If Ouyang Shuo continued to stay in Labate City, it would instead arouse suspicions and suspicions among his allies.
If Ouyang Shuo left just like that, those who coveted him would not dare to act rashly.
Before leaving, Ouyang Shuo gave Mulan four words: "Suppress with calmness." At this point, Ouyang Shuo's calligraphy had a solid foundation, and it had the sharpness of a king. It could barely be classified as "calligraphy".
Ouyang Shuo gave Mulan Lanyue these four words not only to remind her to handle the matter of Muhammad VI's kingdom in exile, but also to teach her the way of an official.
As a high-ranking official, she had to handle matters calmly and without any ripples in her heart.
Mulan Lanyue took the calligraphy and said with a smile, "I want to mount this calligraphy and hang it in my study."
Ouyang Shuo pointed at his heart and said with a smile, "It's useless to just hang it. You have to remember it."
"I will remember Brother's teachings!"
Mulan Lanyue bowed. She would naturally remember her brother's advice and care.
Ouyang Shuo nodded and turned to enter the teleportation array.
…
At ten in the morning, Ouyang Shuo returned to the Summer Palace.
The matter of Muhammad VI's kingdom in exile only caused waves in the Mediterranean Sea and Africa. The China region did not have much of a response and remained calm.
As soon as he sat down in the imperial study, Ouyang Shuo said to Qingyi, "Tell Pei Yun and Meng Zhida to come see me."
"Yes!"
After a while, the two officials rushed to the imperial study. "Your humble servant greets Your Majesty!"
"Have a seat!"
Ouyang Shuo called the two of them over mainly to supervise the immigration. With him mentioning it, things could be done faster and lessen Mulan Lanyue's burden. He said, "Official Pei, how is the progress of the immigration in Morocco?"
Pei Yun's heart tightened. Although the King's tone was calm, the tactful Pei Yun immediately realized that the King was dissatisfied with the progress of the immigration work. She replied carefully, "The Civil Affairs Department has already compiled a booklet introducing the Morocco Province and the immigration policy. It has been distributed in all the major cities. In view of the dynasty's prestige, there are countless applicants. Currently, the Civil Affairs Department is speeding up the examination of the immigration qualifications. "
Ouyang Shuo did not deny it and said, "The immigration matter needs to be resolute and decisive. This time, the examination conditions for the immigration can be loosened. The Civil Affairs Department also needs to increase the number of examiners. If there are not enough people, we can temporarily transfer people from the yamen of Zhili Province or the local yamen. We must complete the immigration work within half a month. "
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Pei Yun bowed while secretly wiping the cold sweat on her forehead. "Although the wrath of the Emperor is not shown on his face, it is still as powerful as a thunderbolt. We do not dare to be careless."
