At 3:20 a.m., accompanied by more than 200 guards, Desai rushed to Manresa Railway Station to transfer to the "Courtes of the Courage" special train to Barcelona Harbour. This sister steam locomotive of the same model as the "Courtes of the Courage" is the same type. Although the former carries only 30 tons, it has a faster speed and stable performance. It only takes one hour and 20 minutes to get directly from Manresa to Barcelona, ​​which is very suitable for passenger transport between the two places.

When the Regent stepped into his exclusive carriage, the "Nine-Man Regiment", cabinet officials, parliamentary majority leaders, and foreign ministers in Manresa, and religious representatives were waiting for a long time. Desai smiled and hugged them warmly and had a cordial conversation with them one by one.

After 80 minutes, when the "Courager" drove directly into the harbor dock, everyone said goodbye to the Regent and then got off the train and left. Only members of the "Nine-Man Regiment" continued to stay in the carriage. Outside, the guards and military police did not allow anyone to approach the train.

On the other side of the dock, a special advance team consisting of all the Guard Brigades, two military corpses, one artillery battalion, one engineer battalion, nearly 7,000 officers and soldiers, as well as dozens of doctors and nurses from the battlefield hospital. Under the guidance of the naval inspection team, the naval inspection team used the spiral ladder passage or rowing a raft boat to board more than 20 warships or transport ships in an orderly manner.

Whether it was officers, soldiers, doctors and nurses, the above-mentioned people voluntarily followed Prince Desai to the Grand Duchy of Warsaw, more than half of them were former Polish nationality. In addition, Desai's former intelligence officer, Major Adam Korol, once reported to his monarch that due to the acquiescence or condolence of Marshal Davu and Prince Eugen, and the financial assistance of the Mediterranean Bank, Count Koshichushko had formed and trained three Polish (cavalry) divisions for the incoming Crown Prince of His Royal Highness, and successfully persuaded the two divisions of the Jacobins to join the Desai Group.

Not only that, Prince Eugen, Governor Ze and commander of the Prussian Legion, also wrote to friends in Paris. Prince Eugen made it clear that he would give Desai enough political support and military support in Poland, provided that it would not endanger France's interests or violate the emperor's orders. Obviously, this was Prince Eugen begging Desai to give up the food smuggling trade with the British.

Desai directly chose to ignore his close friend Eugen's last advice.

Because this increasingly intense grain smuggling trade no longer belonged to Andrew Desay and the British after it developed from October 1810 to May 1811, it was no longer a bilateral issue between Andrew Desay and the British, even if he wanted to stop. Many participants in this case, including more than 200 Polish nobles and large estate owners, and nearly 80% of the middle and senior officers of the French Prussian Legion. After all, in the face of a huge profit of 1.5 billion francs, few saints could always stick to their original professional ethics without being confused by money.

To take a step back, if the wealthy food of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw was not smuggled to the British mainland, its huge market would be cheaper than Poland's mortal enemy and allow Russian farmers to reoccupy. Just after April this year, former British Foreign Secretary Richard Wellesley, who had resigned, secretly visited St. Petersburg, Stockholm, Berlin and other places in his private identity.

According to the intelligence analysis of the Military Intelligence Agency, the British are preparing to organize a new round of anti-French alliance negotiations with Russia, Sweden, Prussia and other countries. However, it should be noted that at the strong request of the Minister of War and the Colonial Minister and the Earl of Lords, the Downing Street Cabinet insisted that the hostile countries clarified by the anti-French alliance should not include the Kingdom of Poland and the United Kingdom of Catalonia. Unless these two Catholic countries under Desay control have done serious matters that endanger the interests of the British Empire.

...

In the train carriage, Desai, dressed in military uniform, sat upright in the only seat, which was the throne that symbolized the supreme monarch. He looked at the eleven important officials of the kingdom and military generals standing neatly in front of him, and gave everyone a last lecture.

He said: "Gentlemen, I cherish the joyful days of working with you. Victory, flowers, wine, wealth and honor always accompany us. However, just as my feet move towards the warships anchored at the docks, a large-scale war in European history that was unprecedentedly set off in a year.

The end of this war not only determines the ultimate fate of France and Russia, but also for Poland. So I must devote all my enthusiasm, hard work and reason to meet this unprecedented huge challenge. When I fight with hundreds of thousands of European troops on the Eastern European plains, the land under my feet will be my greatest reliance and source of strength.

...You must ensure the political stability of the country, economic prosperity and technological prosperity, and ensure that my heirs grow up healthily under the bath of the light of civilization and will not go astray;

…The cooperation with the British has been steadily strengthened, and relations with France have always been maintained, but please be careful not to be too biased towards either party. We must adhere to a flexible foreign policy based on the principle of ** autonomy and always put the interests of the country and the monarch first;

...In March 1812, when General Derny led a large army of 50,000 to Poland, the number of guards must reach more than 60% of the total organization, and the total strength shall not be less than 80,000;

...We must always pursue a tolerant religious and ethnic policy. I never expect everyone here to become a nobleman who is pure and desireless, but I ask you and your family to enjoy happiness and keep an expected upward path for ordinary people;

Finally, what I want to say is that from the next moment, all the fate of the United Kingdom of Catalonia in the next 15 years has been completely handed over to you. Gentlemen, please do not let down Andrew Desai’s most sincere expectations!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Regent stood up from his seat and was accompanied by an adjutant to walk towards the car door. The "Nine-Man Regiment" dodged on both sides and bowed. On the dock, just as Desay was walking towards the spiral ladder connecting to the warship, General Shener, the Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, was entrusted by the "Nine-Man Regiment", hurried to the Regent and whispered to tell a unhappy thing.

"In the various secret documents carried by the former French minister, we found direct evidence of his betrayal of the Nock Creek secret agreement to the outgoing Aristide. In addition, the Paris Intelligence Station also confirmed his loyalty to the emperor." Earl Shernell reported.

Desai frowned and pondered for a moment and said, "Part all your considerations together and then go and ask Mrs. Litisia for the opinion. If there is no objection, it will be handed over to the Ministry of Military Security. No, your Military Intelligence Bureau is fully responsible and you don't have to report to me."

"In addition," Desai called the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau again, and continued to instruct him: "The cleaning scope cannot be expanded without limit, but once a final resolution is made, it must be clean and neat without any hidden dangers!"

General Shener nodded and left, and he understood in his heart the meaning of the Regent's words: he must not be ruthless to all rebels, and must be strangled before the crisis breaks out.

Two months later, news came that General Bonai, the commander of the Fifth Infantry Division, was unfortunately hit by a grenade in a practical demonstration with friendly forces and was killed on the spot, along with several lieutenants.
