I Was a Tycoon in World War I: Starting to Save France

Chapter 250 Lady in White

Lucia poured herself a glass of cocktail, held it with two slender fingers, walked around the bar lightly and walked to Charles, leaned on the table, and looked a little enchanting in nature, holding the wine glass with a smile on her face. He smiled at Charles and said, "Colonel, when you said you would pay for all the expenses, does that include my drink?"

"Of course!" Charles replied.

The surrounding officers booed. Lieutenant Colonel Fernand tapped Charles on the shoulder, leaned closer and whispered in Charles's ear: "You're in luck, Colonel. Many people wanted to buy Lucia a drink but didn't. People do it!”

Ciel just smiled and said nothing.

The officers wisely made a corner for Charles and Lucia, and Lucia sat down in front of Charles gracefully.

Then she suddenly noticed that Charles had vigilance in his eyes, and his hand was even on the revolver at his waist.

"You don't seem to welcome me?" Lucia asked doubtfully.

Charles' voice was cold: "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Lucia was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "I don't know what you are talking about!"

"I accidentally overheard what you just said to Garrel." Ciel stared at Lucia: "You can't refuse a rich hero."

"Is there any problem?" Lucia still had a smile in her eyes. She even looked up and down at Ciel provocatively, like a leopard looking at its prey.

"If I hadn't met Dominic, I would probably believe what you said." Charles replied, gently unbuttoning the holster with his fingers.

Lucia's face changed slightly, she knew what the problem was.

Charles said slowly: "Before this, I could understand that you were a woman who advocated independence. Of course there are some people in this world who are unwilling to give up love for money, and you may be one of them. However, you are generous. Tell people you're approaching me for money."

Lucia laughed, and looked directly at Charles with a pair of beautiful blue eyes without fear, and said with a hint of amusement in her tone: "Maybe, you can have both money and love..."

"You are more like a spy." Charles interrupted Lucia: "Being a bartender in the officers' club can get a lot of the information you need. Dominic may be a good choice, but you can't choose him because You must obey the orders of your superiors, am I right?"

Ever since he saw Harry at the ball, Ciel had become more wary of women.

He had always thought that spies were far away from him, and that they were characters that only appeared in movie plots. Since then, he has discovered that spies are actually around him.

The Lucia in front of her may be one of them.

Charles took out the revolver and held it in his hand, pointed it at Lucia under the cover of the table, and said: "If I arrest you now and send people to your residence to search carefully, maybe I can find something. as evidence."

Then Charles added: "There is no loss even if we can't find it, don't you think?"

Lucia's expression changed again, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes. She glanced around and shook her head slightly: "You can't do this, Colonel!"

Ciel said "Yeah": "You have one minute!"

The reason why Charles didn't take action was because spies in this period were too complicated.

Lucia may not necessarily be a German spy, but may also be British, Russian, or an informant placed by capitalists in the military.

Except for the former, all others can be regarded as "our own people".

"I..." Lucia hesitated and explained: "I don't know how to convince you. I don't belong to any organization you know. In fact, we organized ourselves..."

Charles continued to hold the pistol in his right hand, took a sip from the wine glass on the table with his left hand, and ordered in a cold and expressionless voice: "Go on, you'd better tell the truth!"

"I am originally a Belgian." Lucia looked at Charles with a hint of admiration and sincerity in his eyes: "What you did in Belgium has infected many people! Therefore, we spontaneously organized a team, and we hope to help Do something about this war, and hope to make a difference under your command!"

Ciel raised his eyebrows, it sounded like that.

The Belgians do have such a need. After all, helping the Allies is helping themselves, and Charles has a strong appeal to Belgium. He is almost the embodiment of victory.

But of course Ciel would not easily believe this woman. Spies are good at acting, especially female spies. They are good at using their beauty and even their bodies to make men believe their words. Harry is a living example.

"You mean..." Charles looked at Lucia sarcastically: "You've been here for so long just to have contact with me?"

"You can say that." Lucia nodded slightly: "But you have come here too few times. Last time I thought it was a rare opportunity, but it was ruined by Dominic!"

Charles recalled that Lucia really seemed to want to talk to him through Lieutenant Colonel Fernand, but then Dominic appeared...

Charles smiled and shook his head: "Lie, you don't have any evidence to prove that what you said is true."

"I, how else can I prove it?" Lucia was anxious and angry: "Perhaps, you should prove our guilt first. We did not do anything to endanger the war. On the contrary, we also provided a lot of intelligence to the British!"

"British?" Charles looked at Lucia doubtfully.

"Yes!" Lucia replied: "The British intelligence network is much stronger than that of France. We know some British spies, so we secretly provide them with military intelligence through civilian relations."

Then Lucia seemed to think of something: "You can go to the British to verify. We provided the location and number of artillery positions near the towns of Condos and Anrol, as well as the deployment of Anatole's troops!"

Charles suddenly thought of an organization called "Lady in White".

This organization, as Lucia said, is a spontaneously organized civilian organization in Belgium. They hope to provide intelligence to the Allies, so they contacted the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) and became part of its spy network.

During the war, they made many outstanding achievements and provided a lot of valuable intelligence to the Allies.

And this organization does not need any funds or support. They have only one request: to recognize their identity as fighters instead of spies.

They hope to be regarded as fighters fighting against invaders.

Charles asked doubtfully: "You want to fight under my command? Then, what are the conditions?"

Lucia shook her head gently: "There are no conditions. We just want to be regarded as soldiers and have the same organization as the troops!"

Charles was a little dizzy.

This should be because he had established a reputation in Belgium. The "Lady in White" did not go to the British as in history, but to himself. The establishment time seemed to be advanced!
