I'll Come Clean! I Am The King Of Lolan!-Chapter 91 - Setting Up Spies?
Chapter 91 Setting Up Spies?
When Lorne brought up this example, Kyle immediately reacted with vigor.
Lolan often did such things as publicizing the country’s prestige. It was just that only recently did the establishment of the country stabilize, so he had not planned to expand the scope to such a large extent.
This was the most basic and most common reason for the six benefits. Moreover, when he combined it with what Lorne had told him about the arrival of the envoy from the Spartan Kingdom, the matter of gathering the army in the name of the suzerain country and placing stations around the other places could be equivalent to showing the status of the Lolan Empire. Lolan could say that they are spreading the prestige of the country. This could mean attracting the smaller countries in India to seek refuge so that they could become the suzerain of more countries.
Furthermore, they could also send out some troops to subtly suppress and manipulate these small countries.
Yes, this was a real benefit, and it was mentally recorded in Kyle’s mind. However, Kyle did not interrupt Lorne’s words, because Lorne had said that he wanted to say the last two benefits at the same time.
Sure enough, Lorne walked around on the spot for a few rounds before suddenly standing next to Kyle.
“Actually, this last point has some hidden meaning behind it. It’s similar to the map drawing benefit.”
Kyle raised his eyebrows and could not help but turn his head.
“Could it be that this point is also aimed at the Indian region?”
Lorne nodded.
“Other than sending people to draw the map of the Indian region in private, some people can be left behind to live in India for some time before returning.
“Some loyal soldiers of Lolan can be left behind to conceal their identities and be treated as common citizens and live there.
“In this way, I, Lolan, will have countless spies of all capabilities around India.
“This will be even more useful than the Spartan Kingdom’s fort that I mentioned before. If I, Lolan, want to fight with India one day…
“These spies who have been lurking in there for more than a decade, or even decades, will immediately come in handy.
“When the time comes, whether it’s to pass on information, cooperate with outsiders, or other greater functions you can think of… There’s nothing that they can’t do!”
As Lorne finished speaking, Kyle’s hand could not help but tremble, and he slammed it against the table. He could not care less about the pain in his hand. He only said in an abnormally shocked tone.
“Lorne, you mean to say that only 4,000 people will return from the 5,000 people I will be sending? Some of them will remain anonymous and live in India for a long time. Isn’t this the same as setting up an undercover spy?”
Lorne patted Kyle’s back.
“What you said is absolutely right. They will be undercover spies, and they have to be brilliant at this because they need to hide for a decade or even more.
“Unless the country has an order, they will never expose themselves. Once the order is passed on to them, they will immediately reign like a thunderstorm, sweeping the others through the entire sky!”
Kyle immediately smiled and looked at Lorne in a daze.
This was a long-term thing that he would never think of. Not only would they have to draw a map of the Indian region, but now they would even plant spies that will be undercover for decades.
Now Kyle completely believed that Lorne really had such thoughts and was prepared to dig out the roots of India and put it in the palm of the Lolan Empire’s hand.
Poor India. He did not know how that country managed to offend Lorne, but he had dared to talk about taking over India to this extent.
After thinking about it, Kyle could not help but ask with some difficulty, “How sure are you that there will be a war between Lolan and India?
“There are so many countries in India, and among them, there is even the vast central India. Even if I, Lolan, push the border there, I’m afraid that this war will not be an easy one to win in.”
Lorne immediately made a sound of disdain.
“You really don’t get it, do you? As long as there is a border, there will be a battle! f𝔯ℯe𝓌ℯ𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵel.c𝚘𝐦
“You might think that they’re strong, but in fact, they’re not as strong as you think.
“They’re just putting on a show. If there really is a border between the two countries, I’ll use one or two of the methods I mentioned just now to ensure that there won’t be any casualties.”
Lorne knew this very well. The middle Indian country looks quite big and might even look strong because of that, but in fact, it is a weakling.
The so-called divine general who destroyed a country by himself was stationed in the middle of India.
As long as Lolan could really get close to the middle part of the country, there would be no need for such an amazing person like the general to come out. The few methods Lorne mentioned would be more than enough to make the country crumble like ashes.
However, when he thought of the few good suggestions he had come up with, there was no way to implement them.
Lorne suddenly became excited again. After letting out a long sigh, he returned to his seat
“Forget it. All this talk is just a casual conversation between you and me.
“You, a businessman, won’t understand too much. The king and all the courtiers who really need to hear these suggestions will not be able to stand on the same side as me for who knows how long that will take.”
Kyle saw that Lorne’s mood soured from the hard truth. He almost could not help but expose his identity. He almost stood up emotionally and announced that he was the King of Lolan.
However, in the end, Kyle endured it. His identity could not be exposed now. From the bottom of his heart, Kyle did not want to change the relationship between the two of them so early on from being good friends and good partners who called each other brothers to being different rulers and subjects in terms of etiquette.
If that was the case, the relationship would have a 180-degree turn. He could still disregard the etiquette and put his arms around Lorne’s shoulders without restraint. If he was called an old friend, Lorne would be considered his brother.
Therefore, Kyle did not want this change in dynamic to happen.
Of course, Lorne would one day find out. His identity as the king would be exposed one day.
However, according to Kyle’s plan, he had silently memorized every piece of advice Lorne gave and every major thing that might happen.
When the time was right, he would uncover all the contributions and directly promote Lorne to a high position.
In that case, the communication between the king and the minister would probably be smoother,
it would go from cautious to intimate.
This could be considered Kyle’s painstaking effort as the king, so he had to endure it no matter what. Fortunately, Lorne only grumbled, and then closed his eyes. The expression on his face relaxed again. 𝒇𝘳𝐞𝚎𝓌𝑒𝑏𝒏𝑜𝙫ℯl.c𝚘𝒎
Kyle’s tense heart relaxed as well.
Then, his eyes rolled for a moment, and an idea flashed in his mind.
“Lorne, tell me the truth. Your real goal is only these six benefits, right? You might as well tell me the truth. Do you favor Buddhism or not?”
