Rise of Empires: Spain.

Chapter 63 Gram

Cardinal Bruno attached great importance to the task assigned by Carlo, and decided to personally complete the first task assigned by Carlo to make a good start for the Royal Security Intelligence Agency.

In this way, Cardinal Bruno embarked on a journey north to France with several reserve intelligence personnel he selected from the Guards.

Kadir Bruno's first target was Gram, a Belgian-French citizen. The reason for choosing Gram was simply because France was closer to Spain and he could just pass through France to reach his second stop, Germany.

You can't just look for someone blindly. Cardinal Bruno decided to go to Paris, the capital of France, first and look for experts in electricity research in Paris to see if there is someone named Gram.

After the Germans left France, another revolution broke out in Paris, and it almost overthrew the French regime. However, the revolution was eventually suppressed by the French government. The good news is that peace has returned to Paris.

This is also the reason why Cardinal Bruno and his party were able to travel to Paris safely. At least a peaceful and stable Paris would not exclude foreign tourists.

After arriving in Paris, Cardinal Bruno immediately investigated companies and businesses related to electricity and electrical equipment around Paris, trying to find a man named Gram.

Fortunately, they found a generator researcher named Gram in a small electrical equipment company in Paris.

At night, in an inconspicuous house in Paris.

Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door, which quickly woke up Zinab Gram who had just fallen asleep.

Gram was surprised at first, and then a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. When he was considering whether to check who the visitor was, his wife beside him had already woken up.

"Gram?" Gram's wife looked at Gram, who seemed to be in a trance, and called Gram's name softly in confusion.

Gram also came back to his senses, comforted his equally worried wife, stood up, picked up the spear on the wall, and walked carefully to the door.

"Who?" Gram asked.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Gram? Mr. Gram who works in electricity?" asked the voice outside the door.

"Who are you? If it's nothing urgent, please come back tomorrow morning," said Gram.

The chaos in Paris has just ended, but that doesn't mean the streets and alleys of Paris are as calm as the situation appears on the surface.

Gram didn't care whether the government or the revolutionaries won or lost, nor did he want the struggle between the two factions to affect his life.

He just wants to live a stable life, have a certain amount of stable income to support himself and his family, and do the work he loves.

Gram didn't care about other things, didn't want to get involved, and didn't want to get himself into trouble.

"Please forgive my intrusion, Mr. Graham." The voice outside the door said, "I left a letter for you. Please read it first and then make a decision. I will visit you again at noon tomorrow. Goodbye."

Hearing Gram's obvious defensiveness, Cardinal Bruno also realized that the chaos in Paris had just ended not long ago.

It was natural for Gram to be on guard when a stranger suddenly came to his house at night. The best way to be on guard was to leave a letter to introduce yourself, and then visit the next day during the day.

Anyway, we have found the electrician named Gram, so the next things will not be so troublesome.

If Gram was unwilling to go to Spain, in order to complete the task assigned by Carlo, he had to use some means to invite Gram and his family to go to Spain.

Gram heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the footsteps getting farther and farther away. Many revolutionaries had been arrested by the government during this period, and Gram really didn't want to be associated with other strangers.

The group of noble gentlemen in the government were extremely submissive to the Germans, but they attacked their own people with heavy blows.

What's more, Gram is not a genuine Frenchman. He was born in Belgium and immigrated to France only more than ten years ago.

The French government will not show mercy to Gram just because he is a good talent. After all, there are countless talents like Gram in France, and they will not feel bad if one or two are missing.

After waiting for more than ten minutes and making sure there was no sound outside the door, Gram walked out carefully with his gun, and sure enough, he found a letter at the door.

In order to allay Gram's concerns, Cardinal Bruno clearly stated his purpose on the envelope, writing the words "Spanish Royal Family" clearly in French.

After confirming that the letter was not from the revolutionaries, Gram breathed a sigh of relief and took the letter into the house.

"An invitation from the King of Spain? Researcher of the Royal Academy of Sciences? Consultant to the Spanish Electricity Company?" Looking at the words written in French, Gram felt that he almost forgot how to read French.

Would the King of Spain suddenly invite an ordinary commoner like me? And to join an institution like the Royal Academy of Sciences with the word "royal" in its name?
Gram did not feel happy, but felt it was a little unbelievable and felt like he had met a liar.

But the other party seemed to have no reason to deceive him. Gram was just an employee of a small electrical equipment company, with a low income and no real power, so there was no need for the other party to deceive him.

After much thought, Gram decided to meet the man in person tomorrow. As long as he was not a revolutionary, there was no harm in meeting him.

Time passed quickly, and at noon the next day, Cardinal Bruno arrived as promised.

To allay Gram's concerns, Cardil Bruno came alone and brought a brand new check issued by the Royal United Bank of Spain for 5000 pesetas.

Gram had been waiting for a long time, and sitting next to him was his good friend William, who also worked in the electrical industry.

When Kadir Bruno saw that there was another person sitting next to Gram, he realized that Gram's defense against him had not been completely eliminated. However, these were all minor matters, and he believed that the other party would be shaken after seeing the check.

"Mr. Gram?" Kadier Bruno asked tentatively.

"Yes, I'm Gram, who are you?" Gram looked at Cardil Bruno and found that the man looked a bit like an Italian and didn't seem like a Spanish.

"Please allow me to introduce myself. You can call me Kadir, and I serve His Majesty King Carlo of Spain, with the goal of finding experts in electricity for the upcoming Spanish national power company.

If Mr. Gram is interested, on behalf of His Majesty the King, I would like to invite you to join the Spanish Electricity Company and serve as an advisor to the company.

At the same time, the position of researcher of the Royal Spanish Academy of Sciences is also open to you. You can join the Royal Academy of Sciences at any time and are eligible to apply for your own research and development funds.

Do you have any questions?" Kadir Bruno said straight to the point.

"Oh my God, the King of Spain personally invited us? God, this is crazy!" Before Gram could react, his friend William was already very surprised and looked completely unbelievable.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Kader. But I still want to ask, is what you said true? Are you representing His Majesty King Carlo of Spain?" Gram was also a little unbelieving.

Monarchy was still the mainstream in Europe at that time. It was an honor for commoners to receive an invitation from aristocrats, not to mention that the one who invited them was the king of a country?
