18th century total war

Chapter 152 Seizing Military Power
When the National Salvation Committee of the Jacobin dictatorship established the Public Security Committee, large-scale riots began in all areas of the country that were not occupied by Li Wei.

Occupying the city of Rouen and about to complete the first step of Lindenwan's plan, Fatis unexpectedly welcomed Aldington Taylor, a plenipotentiary commissioner from Paris.

A civilian politician with a hooked nose and sinister eyes who fanatically follows Robespierre.

In the French Republic at this time, civilian politicians are not a derogatory term. On the contrary, among the civilian class whose population base far exceeds that of the nobles, becoming a politician itself shows the ability and talent of the other party!
In the French Republic at this time, almost none of the civilian politicians who could get into office came from the sans-culottes class. After all, the vast majority of people in that class were illiterate and did not know the words. No matter how smart you were, you would not be able to get into office...

Therefore, the politicians of the French Republic today, in terms of knowledge level, are no worse than those noble children who have received aristocratic education since childhood, and they have more perseverance and stronger ability to do things (if they are not strong in doing things, it means that they have the ability to fool people has broken through the horizon).

"Commissioner Taylor, why did the National Salvation Committee send you here this time?"

In the former mayor's office of the Rouen city government building, Fatis and Wright personally met with the plenipotentiary commissioner from Paris.

The status of these plenipotentiary commissioners was quite high in the areas controlled by the French Republic at this time. They were the people in power sent by the central government to the local areas, and they had great control over the military, government and finance!

The people under Fatis' command were all rabble-rousers from all over the world. These people were not just looking for Fatis's face (at this time, Fatis didn't have such a big face, and it was impossible to rely on his personal charm to make a powerful statement). The call), the main reason is Fatis' status as a veteran in the Jacobin branch of the Normandy region.

The Jacobins' reputation in the French Republic at this time was at its peak. Even the Girondins, the ruling party, were defeated by them. The main members fled to death, and there was no hope of a comeback...

With the outbreak of Marat's assassination, Girondin supporters no longer even dared to show their faces in France.

Li Wei's New Kingdom of France will certainly not forgive the hostile Girondists, and Jacobin's National Salvation Committee is also arresting Girondist traitors everywhere, even abroad, as the ruling party that established the First French Republic Party Girondins, but also the status of wanted criminals!

It can be said that the Girondins in this world are completely dead. Even the home province that supports the Girondins the most is being pressed to the ground and rubbed by the Black Dragon Legion...

Even the black dragon army can't stop the mopping up, let alone the cripples who support the Girondins?

The higher the reputation of Jacobin, the more resistance forces Fatis can gather here. However, now the Jacobin National Salvation Committee in Paris has sent an airborne plenipotentiary commissioner. As a person with keen political sense and military ability, How could Fatis, who regarded Captain Wright as his teacher, not guess the deeper meaning of the Paris National Salvation Committee?

The visitor is not good!

"General Fatis has worked hard and meritorious service. If it weren't for your heroic uprising, the Germanic region would have been captured by the reactionary traitor Li Wei.

A talent like yours is really too underwhelming to be placed in a city like Rouen.

The French Republic has a more important mission that needs to be entrusted to General Fatis. The Northern French Army, which occupies the Austrian Netherlands, fell into chaos under the betrayal of the traitor Di Mouriez. Mouriez, the traitor, is gone!
However, the grassroots of the Northern Army Group are composed of us French people after all. Even if they were temporarily suppressed by the high-pressure policy of Dumouriez and the Austrian army, they still longed for the light of France's revolution to guide them.

And you, the only well-known Jacobin general who escaped from Li Wei's hands and captured a capital city, will definitely be able to take back the Northern Army Group from Dimouriez!
This is the trust of the National Salvation Committee in you, and it is also the expectation of the French nation!
answer me!
As a glorious French citizen, are you willing to accept this glorious and difficult task! "

Commissioner Taylor (in Europe, ordinary officials, outsiders and subordinates, are respectfully addressed by their surname and position, and only close relatives and superiors will call them by their first name.) looked at Fatis with a solemn expression.

Captain Wright on the side...oh no, it's Staff Officer Wright now. He has been trying to wink at Fatis, for fear that Fatis will refuse!

It's not that Wright was afraid of the plenipotentiary commissioners sent by the Jacobin National Salvation Committee (he was indeed afraid, but he didn't say it!), but now Wright has been enlightened by Levi's administration. No matter how afraid he is, he has chosen politics. position!
We must not let Fatis fall into the hands of Commissioner Taylor, who looks like a sinister villain in front of us.

You know, after Commissioner Taylor arrived in Rouen, he did not meet with Fatis immediately. Instead, he went to the resistance camp composed of guerrillas and resistance forces from all over the world!

Because Commissioner Taylor knew very well that these gathered guerrillas and rebels were not direct troops of Fatis. They were more willing to follow the French Republic under Jacobin's dictatorship than to be a general under Jacobin.

This is actually the name of righteousness. With the help of Jacobin's great justice, Fatis easily gathered tens of thousands of Jacobin rebels, but when the Jacobin National Salvation Committee above sent people, these Jacobin rebels immediately There will be a new backbone.

After all, it is impossible for Fatis to have enough money to bribe them, and there is no need to do so...

Commissioner Taylor's actions were aboveboard, how could Wright and Fatis not know that?
The strength of the rabble-like Jacobin rebel army far exceeds that of the army following Fatis and even the hundreds of brainwashing sharpshooters assigned to him by Li Wei (all of whom were brainwashed and trained by Fatis' subordinates who were originally captured. identity will be revealed).

Once a conflict broke out between Fatis and Taylor, and even triggered armed internal strife, Fatis may not be able to win the fight, and it will completely destroy Li Wei's carefully laid out long-term plan.

Therefore, Wright is really afraid that Fatis will be angry at Taylor's behavior of seizing military power, and then completely explode...

The next moment, Wright let out a long sigh of relief, because Fatis smiled.

"Commissioner Taylor is very reasonable, and I am grateful to the Paris National Salvation Committee for giving me this mission and opportunity.

But going to Dumouriez alone would be tantamount to death, so..."
