Chapter 384： Hotel Information Station System

The situation of the war between the Saxon coalition and the Gede division, Marin's spies and scouts, has been quietly paying attention. Even at a distance from the battlefield, there has been a long period of scout cavalry under Sauer's command, taking turns to observe with telescopes.

On the night of the victory or defeat of the war, the scouts obtained the confident news that the Allied Saxony was defeated ...

Then, early the next morning, East Frisian ’s powerful intelligence machine was activated, and the two signal soldiers drove along the hotel system operated by the North Sea Chamber of Commerce. At some distance, the signal soldiers will change horses at the hotel that hangs the Beihai Chamber of Commerce logo and continue to run.

The hotel messaging system was inspired by the games played by Marin's previous life. In the game, the hotel is a very important place. Generally speaking, the lobby on the first floor of the hotel is a pub and a visit. Behind the first floor is the kitchen.

There is a basement under the kitchen, which is a storage room for various wine barrels and grains. The second floor of the hotel is a place to rest, with multiple rooms.

In addition, on the side of the hotel, there is a stable, which specializes in stopping guests' mounts. Of course, in the game, there are usually flying spots next to the hotel.

However, in the real world, there are no flying mounts for riding, but still have to rely on horseback riding.

Therefore, the area of ​​the stable is very large, not even less than that of the hotel lobby. Moreover, in the stable, there are two or three spare horses all year round. These two or three spare horses were used by Marin's men for communication.

After all, Marin cannot use the communication systems of other countries. Therefore, relying on such inconspicuous public facilities of the hotel as a reserve of rotating mounts to convey emergency news has become Marin's best choice.

In order to prevent the hotel from being targeted by others, it affects the communication system. Marin did not even provide Chinese chefs to the hotel, lest those hotels be too famous and be targeted by local nobles.

Therefore, the chain hotels of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce have no better food and drinks than other hotels in the same era. To say the difference, the food in the Beihai Chain Inn is relatively clean, and there are no expired and spoiled things. In addition, the bed sheets in the rooms are also changed frequently and look relatively clean. Other than that, there are no other features.

After all, the hotel used to pass messages is a strategic communication channel, which should not be too high-profile and attract attention.

In addition, the owner of the hotel is usually a spy under Kohler. They stood in front of the counter in the lobby on the first floor to provide services to guests. At the same time, he also eavesdropped on the conversations of the guests in the lobby to obtain useful information and passed it back to East Friesland.

...

However, the cost of building such a hotel system is very high. Moreover, the profits of ordinary hotels are meager, and the cost cannot be recovered in the early stage.

Therefore, even local tyrants like Marin have only opened a "North Sea Chamber of Commerce Hotel Chain" system from East Friesland to Rome. As for other places, such a system must be established. However, it takes time and investment. In addition, it also needs to train relevant spy talents.

It can be said that the chain hotel is the best source of intelligence in this era. Why? Because the lobby on the first floor of the hotel has the function of a pub!

Where is the pub? That's where people drink and brag. A lot of information is revealed when people inadvertently brag.

Moreover, people who have drunk alcohol have a very poor sense of confidentiality, and their voices are often very loud.

So, the shopkeepers in the lobby of the Beihai Chain Hotel organized by Kohler made all the spies, eavesdropping on the bragging news of the guests, and then pretending to count on the counter to record the news.

For concealment, the counter of the shopkeeper is often semi-closed and has a baffle to prevent guests from seeing the information of the shopkeeper.

However, this also caused a problem-that is, the shopkeeper must be literate ...

This is a bit difficult. In this era, literate people often find good jobs. Who spies you? Therefore, Kohler also took a lot of thought to win over a group of literate people to assume such a role. Therefore, at present, Marin can only open a route from East Friesland to Rome. If you want to open other lines, the biggest problem is not investment, but the spy shopkeeper who lacks literacy ...

Moreover, inquiring news in hotel taverns is easier than ordinary pure taverns. Why? Many of the guests in the hotel pub are hotel guests. These residents, who travel from south to north, know more news and intelligence and are more knowledgeable than locals. Their conversations are also more informative and valuable than those of ordinary pub guests.

Ordinary pub guests often talk about short and new things from local parents. There are more guests in the hotel and pub, and more business people. The topics these people are talking about are all from the south to the north, and there are rumors everywhere, with more information and more value.

At the beginning, when Marin came up with the idea of ​​building a chain hotel, he couldn't help but like it. Especially the idea of ​​a hotel tavern is simply a must.

In general, in this era, the hotel and the pub are mostly separated. Many hotels are simply bungalows, without the second floor. Then, the inn is the inn and can only be used to sleep. If guests want to drink, they have to go to the pub, which is very inconvenient.

Of course, in this era, some hotels have opened pubs on the first floor, but not many. Only large hotels with large capitals, which have different floors or large yards, can do so. However, no one has ever combined the hotel and the tavern, and joined the spy for intelligence investigation. Moreover, using the hotel system to function as a post and provide horses for transfer, the effect is quite good.

Because the chain hotel ’s intelligence system and post system are too good, both Marin and Kohler believe that they should expand their scale and spread it throughout Europe ~ www.novelhall.com ~ to facilitate the collection of intelligence.

However, there was a recent incident that, in the Archbishop of Cologne, when the shopkeeper of a hotel recorded information in a semi-closed counter, he was accidentally seen and caused a great disturbance.

Although the sharp-eyed man was later assassinated, Kohler saw a huge risk. The main risk is that once the owner of a hotel is caught, the entire hotel system may be exposed.

Therefore, Kohler passed this question to Marin through the hotel post system and asked for guidance.

After thinking for a long time, Marin thought it was silly to use a chain hotel. In this way, once an accident occurs in a certain hotel, the entire Beihai chain hotel will be wiped out.

Therefore, Marin made a decision-no longer use the name of the hotel chain in the future, to avoid a bad luck together. However, although those hotels no longer use a unified name, they will use a unified code and mark. In this way, it is also easy to identify with the correspondent who sent the message, and it is convenient to change the mount. As for the secret code? Marin decided to use the Iron Cross logo or the German tricolor flag of later generations. In addition, all hotels under Marin's Inn will hang a huge signboard on the top. There will be small signs of iron crosses or tricolor flags on the signboards, which can be recognized by the communication soldiers who send messages.

In this way, even if the shopkeeper of a certain hotel happened because of the spy problem, it would not involve other hotels. Because everyone is not a family on the surface ...

...

Through the well-developed hotel intelligence post system, Marin quickly received information from West Friesland. After seeing the news of George's defeat, Marin stood up and found Julius II and said:

"I should go home!"
