"Joseph, do you hope to be transferred to manage military production?" Kano looked up from the documents and looked at Joseph.

"Yes, Lazar." Joseph said, "Now, other military affairs are slowly getting on the right track, but our military production is still completely in chaos. Cut corners, poor quality, and various problems are emerging one after another. It has seriously dragged our army down. Although the National Salvation Committee has sent some special commissioners to supervise military production, most of these special commissioners know nothing about technology and production, and it is difficult to help any big things..."

"It's not just that I can't help much? If I don't help, I'm thanking God. What else would they do besides catching sabotage elements and killing people?" Kano said. His character is more straightforward and dared to tell the truth. However, Kano said this for a reason. Just a few days ago, the National Salvation Committee sent a special commissioner to a certain artillery factory. As a result, as soon as the guy got there, he began to investigate the sabotage elements, and then hung up the engineers in the artillery factory in one breath. Before more than half of the special commissioners were sent, the problem with this artillery factory was just slow production speed and unstable quality. After the special commissioners were sent out, the artillery factory simply stopped production. Of course, it would not be fair to say that the special commissioner did nothing. At least, after he went there, the artillery factory never produced any bad-quality cannons.

"So what do you think about this kind of thing?" Kano asked.

"I want to set up an institution like this," Joseph said, handing a document to Kano, "this institution consists of the 'Military Technical Laboratory' and the 'Military Technical Inspection Department'."

Kano took the document and looked at it carefully. Joseph then found a chair next to him and sat down, and signaled to pour him a cup of coffee.

Kano always looked at the documents very quickly, so when Joseph slowly finished drinking the coffee, Kano raised his head from the documents.

"The idea is good." Kano said, "setting up an 'army technical laboratory' is responsible for technical research and setting standards, setting up an 'army technical inspection department', sending special technical representatives to military production enterprises, tracking and supervising production throughout the process. All products must be signed by representatives of the technical inspection department before they can be sold to the army. This idea is good, very good! It is much better than sending those stupid commissioners to military factories who don't know anything! But... Joseph, have you ever thought about it? Our army also lacks enough people who can do these things."

"It's not impossible," said Joseph. "We can recruit and train some people who can do this job." Joseph said. "There are so many students at the University of Paris. With their level of knowledge, just a little training is enough to do such a job. The more important thing is to supervise them. Lazar, I heard that anyone with power will automatically try to expand the boundaries of their power, or in other words, tend to abuse their power. It is a huge power to judge whether the product is qualified, and there are also many economic benefits involved. Therefore, we still need to be able to control those technical representatives."

"They are soldiers. If the technical representatives do not find quality problems and are discovered by the troops, they can only be engaged in military law." Kano said, "Does there be enough researchers in the laboratory you mentioned?"

"Not yet, but we can go and pull some people in. Well, Lazar, you know, the Academy of Sciences has been dissolved, there are some academicians from the Academy of Sciences, and the situation is not very good now..."

Kano stared at Joseph for a while, and then said, "Joseph, your sense of smell is very sensitive. Did you notice that Lavoisier's situation is not good? Haha, he may not even notice it himself. I know Mr. Lavoisier is your friend. But there is an economic case involving Mr. Lavoisier. Now the newspaper "Daddy Dushen" is attacking him. You know the background of this newspaper..."

The newspaper "Daddy Dushen" is the newspaper representing Ebert, the extreme left-wing indignation faction. After Mala died, Ebert replaced Mala, and this newspaper replaced the original "Friends of the People" and became the most important mouthpiece of the bottom-level unpopular trousers.

Compared to Mara, Eber's ability is much worse. Although Mara is a person who is extreme and mean and unpopular, Mara has profound insights and a keen sense of politics. And Eber is not sure how much worse he is from Mara in these aspects. So if he wants to replace Mara, he can only be more extreme than Mara.

So Mara said that to save the Republic, one would have to cut off the heads of 100,000 profitable merchants; Ebert said that the entire merchant class was the parasite of the people, and all merchants should be hung on the street lamp poles. Mara said that among those with higher education, the proportion of bad people was relatively high (because at that time, the educated people were all rich people); Ebert said that those with knowledge were bastards, and revolutionary France did not need scientists!

So Lavoisier became their target. He was famous and could become famous if he fell down. At the same time, he did not have much influence in politics. Moreover, because of his imprudent style, he left a lot of footprints when he made money, so that if he attacked him economically, he was covered in holes. It is said that when Mara was alive, many people had already encouraged Mara to deal with Lavoisier. However, Mara, who had a personal grudge against Lavoisier, did not take action because he knew the value of Lavoisier. But now, Eber, who was eager to inherit Mara's legacy, pointed his gun at Lavoisier.

"I do this not only because Lavoisier is my friend. Lazar, you know, Mr. Lavoisier was once our enemy in politics. He was a Brissots, and even among the Brissots, he was a relatively conservative group. I also know that Mr. Lavoisier is still a very rich man, and in the chaotic market, he has also participated in some troubled things. But... But Lazar, Mr. Lavoisier is the greatest scientist in France. It may only take a second to cut off such a head, but I want France to grow this again.

A head like this may not be able to do it for a hundred years! Mr. Lavoisier is so valuable! Think about it, if his explosives can be further and can be loaded into shells, then the feudal lords of Europe will tremble under our muzzles. If this can be done, even if he has more problems, he will be a treasure of France. What's more, even now, if Mr. Lavoisier's contribution is calculated as a positive number and his crimes are counted as a negative number, I dare say that the total number is also a huge positive number, a positive number much larger than most revolutionaries!"

"Joseph, don't be excited. I know what you mean, and I agree with your thoughts," Kano said. "But do you really think that if we hide him in the 'Military Technology Laboratory', we can save him? Do you think that once the guys from the Public Security Commission issued an arrest warrant, the door to the 'Military Technology Research Institute' can block those people?"

"Then let Mr. Lavoisier die in an experimental accident, and his body remains unrealized!" Joseph said. "Anyway, it is easy for such results to be found in explosives."

Kano knew that what Joseph said about letting Lavoisier die in an experimental accident and that the bones were gone was not really meant to let Lavoisier die. Instead, he had to use this method to turn him into an iron-faced man without a name and thus protect him.

"Joseph, I know what you mean. But you have to know, what you can think of, Eber... That guy Eber probably couldn't think of, but after you do this, he was not so stupid as to be unable to understand. At that time, he will hate you to the core." Kano thought for a while, lowered his voice and said.

"Then let him hate him! A man is a real man, and he will do things all his life. If he doesn't even have someone to hate you, then how failed he will be!" Joseph replied firmly.

Kano stood up and stared at Joseph with his eyes tightly. The light in his eyes made Joseph unable to help but doubt his sexual orientation.

"Well said, Joseph. Compared to you, I am too cowardly. A real warrior does not show off his courage everywhere, like a fierce fighting dog, and will never be crazy like Ebel! Haha, as long as I am still in this position, a mad dog like Ebel, don't try to put his paws into the army!"

In fact, this is that Kano overestimated Joseph. Because the history I knew in my previous life was limited, Joseph was afraid of Robespierre, Danton, and Mara, but he was not afraid of Saint Just (I haven't heard of it before), nor was he afraid of Eber (who are you?).

After saying this, Kano took a few more steps in the room, then he stopped, turned around, and said to Joseph: "Hurry and find a suitable place and arrange the laboratory, preferably a little further away from Paris. In addition, find an opportunity to arrange for Mr. Lavoisier to meet me secretly. He is afraid that he has become someone else's target."

"Thank you, General. I can't say much about my gratitude to you!" Joseph hurriedly saluted.

"Joseph is so grateful to me because of other people's affairs. This is such a moral and trustworthy person!" Kano thought so, but said, "Joseph, I remember you said that the thing you most hope is to stay in the laboratory. Now your conspiracy has succeeded! You are a bad guy who pretends to be a public and uses his power to seek personal gain!"
