Paris.The second floor of the Industrial Planning Bureau.Joseph looked at the six men before him with a smirk that was not quite a smile, "It seems that you are not too saddened by Mr. Bouvarandere's sudden suicide."The Marquis of Ludo quickly put on a sorrowful expression, "Your Highness, we are indeed very heartbroken, but in order not to affect your mood, we refrained from showing it.""Is that so?" Joseph nodded, "What do you know about Necker's death then?"A middle-aged man, with sunken eyes and a sallow complexion, hastily said, "Your Highness, it was all Bouvarandere's doing, we know nothing about it."He was Viscount Reclixian, the owner of the Dauphine Credit Bank."Is that so?

The ministers, upon hearing this, immediately showered the King, the Queen, and now the Crown Prince with compliments once more.They all remembered that it was the Crown Prince himself who had proposed this cost-free plan to tackle piracy, and now it indeed began to show initial signs of success.Joseph, intrigued, took the report from the Marquis of Castries and started to read it, quickly discovering that it was an American named Charles who had obtained intelligence on the pirates from Algiers, enabling the successful ambush.When he saw Charles mention that his information might have come from a former Tunisian Pasha named Eunice, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.A former "Crown Prince" of Tunisia, still influential there? If this were true, perhaps his North African plan needed some adjustments.Previously, he had planned to follow historical trajectories, starting with an attack on the pirate strongholds on the northern coast of Algiers, followed by purging pirates across
