18th century total war

Chapter 153 The Prudent National Salvation Committee
"I need to take my followers and subordinates to leave together, so that I can better win over and rescue the French compatriots controlled by the traitor Dumouriez.

Moreover, in order for my words to be believed by more people, I need a letter of appointment from the Paris National Salvation Committee. I think that the identity of a special commissioner should be enough for the revolutionary officers of the Northern Army Center to obey my orders. "

After hearing this, Commissioner Taylor pondered for a while and replied: "I will pay attention to your request and submit it to the Paris National Salvation Committee. I believe that the National Salvation Committee will not disappoint a revolutionary hero like you.

However, the time left for us by Li Wei's rebels is running out. He has assembled tens of thousands of troops and marched towards Rouen, so I need to take over all the troops now.

Of course, I will not interfere with your followers. I believe they will perform better under your leadership. "

The purpose of Taylor's coming this time was not to capture the followers of Fatis, because the Paris National Salvation Committee knew that those people only recognized Fatis, and forcibly incorporating them would cause dissatisfaction among those people, and even quite To help Fatis mix sand in the revolutionary army!

Yes, Taylor's arrival is because the Paris National Salvation Committee is guarding against Fatis, a revolutionary hero!
"Commissioner Taylor, don't worry. When the letter of appointment of the plenipotentiary commissioner I need arrives, I will immediately leave Rouen with my followers and head to the north to complete the tasks assigned to me by the National Salvation Committee."

Seeing Fatis being so upbeat, Taylor couldn't help but draw a smug smile, patted Fatis on the shoulder, and blurted out a promise of no money: "As long as you let the Northern Army return from the clutches of Dumouriez to the Great Revolution Flag, I promise, you will be the new commander of the Northern Army!"

With such a big pie on the plate of Fatis' big face, Commissioner Taylor felt that Fatis should not lose his mind, and really betray the revolution as the worst outcome speculated by the National Salvation Committee!

No way, the people under Li Wei's hands have too many unreasonable betrayals of the revolution, and the Paris government cannot be vigilant.

After the pleasant negotiation between the two parties, Commissioner Taylor took his entourage to the barracks, held a military meeting, and publicly declared that he would take over the military power.

From this point of view, Taylor greeted Fatis first, indicating that he still regarded Fatis as his own.

Of course, Taylor also had the confidence that Fatis did not dare to make any radical moves in this city where revolutionary armed forces were everywhere.

That is suicidal!
After Taylor left, Wright couldn't help asking: "Fatis, aren't you the person in charge of Jacobin in Normandy?

You were also awarded the military rank of general. Why did the National Salvation Committee in Paris now send a sharp-tongued commissioner to seize your military power? "

Obviously, Wright found Commissioner Taylor very displeased and made exaggerated insults to his appearance.

Taylor just looks a bit shady, not really ugly.

Hooked nose is not a term associated with ugliness here in Europe.

Many European girls also like the hooked nose!
"It's normal, the people from the National Salvation Committee are not idiots, as long as they have the slightest intention to send someone to investigate our background, they will become suspicious.

After all, my subordinates and I were captured by Li Wei's men, and there were not many casualties when we escaped. It must have been a little too easy in the eyes of the National Salvation Committee.

In addition, the city of Rouen we won was previously controlled by the liberal aristocratic generals of Normandy who had just surrendered. Lord Li Wei's tentacles were overturned by us before reaching out.

As a result, Lord Li Wei's power did not suffer any losses, and we also helped Lord Levi clear up unstable factors in advance.

These things cannot be said on the bright side, and the common people below may not believe it, let alone understand the twists and turns, but they cannot hide it from those shrewd politicians.

Too many coincidences to make them suspect us.

At this time, the National Salvation Committee has just stabilized its dominance, and Rouen will soon face tens of thousands of garrison troops from the Kingdom of France. Do you think the National Salvation Committee in Paris is worried that I will sell these armed forces that support Jacobin? ?
This is the northern part of France occupied by Lord Li Wei, all the armed forces loyal to Jacobin!
Without these armed forces, the northern part of France occupied by Lord Livy will completely become the 'mainland' of the Kingdom of France.

The new Kingdom of France can be regarded as completely gaining a firm foothold in the northern part of France.

This is something that the Paris National Salvation Committee cannot tolerate.

Naturally, it is impossible for them to continue to hand over this nail to me, General Jacobin, who is worthy of vigilance.

Alas, in fact, the fundamental reason why we were suspected by the National Salvation Committee in Paris is that Lord Li Wei's personal charm is too strong.

With so many precedents of colleagues who betrayed the revolution before, those of us who have been captured once will definitely be suspected by the National Salvation Committee in Paris.

No matter how well we do, the National Salvation Committee in Paris will take precautions at critical moments. "

Wright heard one head and two big words. He didn't expect that his disguise would be easily spotted by the National Salvation Committee in Paris!
No, it's not peeping, just a suspicion is enough!
After all, there can be no mistakes in military affairs.

"Jacobin had the ability to successfully ascend to power. He was too cautious."

Wright couldn't help complaining.

"The mutiny of Dumouriez, the commander of the Northern Army Group, is imminent, and the people from the National Salvation Committee cannot be overly cautious.

But you don’t need to be depressed and worried. Our direct troops are still sharpshooters trained by those followers and hundreds of Lord Li Wei. The other miscellaneous troops don’t get along well with us. During these days, I don’t know what happened in Rouen and surrounding villages and towns. How many people have been harmed.

It is also good for our reputation in the future to draw a clear line with the armed forces like these bandits.

Fortunately, we have a Jacobin name, so that the citizens of Rouen do not keep hatred on you and me.

Moreover, among the tens of thousands of garrison troops who came to encircle and suppress, there were still some elite Black Dragon Corps supervisors in the battle. Neither the troops nor the firepower were at a disadvantage. In this battle, Master Li Wei's side had a better chance of winning. "

Staff Officer Wright nodded approvingly after hearing this.

"We can't blame those revolutionary armed forces. We didn't pay them. If those people want to eat and drink, they don't eat and drink for nothing in the restaurants in Rouen, and they don't rob the surrounding villages and towns. Wouldn't they starve to death? "

"Hmph, a group of cannon fodder destined to be wiped out, why should I give them military pay and supplies?!"
