Flowers, Swords and France

"Yeah, we all like it here.￠￡Top￠￡Point￠￡Xiao￠￡ said,"

This answer showed that the future field marshal was obviously very smart and understood and grasped the key to everything.

Moreover, this also shows that he does not reject his own wishes-as long as he can prove that it is worth it.

General de Kervi was immediately relieved.

"Yes, the brightest pearl of the civilized world, who would be willing to put it aside easily? I haven't been here for so many years, but when I came back recently, I looked like a foreigner, completely incomprehensible!" The general shook his head! Sighing softly, "When I'm on the street, I feel like an insignificant person..."

"In front of this great city and this great country, each of us is insignificant." Marquis Treville replied seriously, "However, we can make different contributions to the country with our own efforts..."

Hold different positions simultaneously.

This kind of aristocratic and implicit conversation finally began to abandon the veil of warmth before and went directly to the most critical place.

That is - what can you give me? What can I give you?

"Yes, I really hope I can stay here for a few more days!" The general sighed again, "The last time I came back, although it was for a noble purpose, I destroyed this city after all. Now I hope to be able to defend it. Speaking of which, because of professional habits and lingering fears about the last riot, I have been paying close attention to Ba recently. The results of the city defense around Paris are very worrying... The surrounding fortresses are in disrepair, and the guards are also very lax. Needless to say, the city is in chaos! I am really worried if this happens again in Paris. The riots will bring such a heavy disaster to the country and the nation! I really don’t want to see these things again..."

So, his idea was... if he wanted to be transferred back, it would be best to serve as the commander of the Paris garrison?

Both grandfather and grandson understood his thoughts at the same time.

They looked at each other covertly, and then quickly came to the conclusion that it needed to be considered, but it was not out of the question.

"Yes, the capital is the nerve center of our country and should receive the greatest attention." This time it was Charles who spoke, "As a result... under the leadership of General Changarnier, it fell into a chaotic command system. . But the safety situation makes people unhappy..."

Then he looked at the general and said the most important words.

"The president is also very worried about this. He hopes to rationalize the existing city defense structure so that our capital can become an impregnable and strong fortress."

General Changarnier is now responsible for the defense of Paris. This supporter of the Party of Order, who now holds the positions of commander of the National Guard and commander of the Paris garrison, can be said to be Louis Bonaparte's most threatening enemy - and also the biggest obstacle to his and his colleagues usurping supreme power. obstacle. If the position of commander of the Paris garrison can be replaced by a general, then there will be very good news...

Then he fell silent again. Look at each other quietly.

As if questioning the other party - Louis Bonaparte, Changarnier, which side do you want to choose?

Now that he has made up his mind to come here, General De Kervi will naturally have no other choice.

"The president is the supreme leader of the country. We should do our best to serve him and relieve his worries." He bowed slightly respectfully, "If someone opposes him, then he must pay the price!"

"Very good!" The Marquis of Treville nodded approvingly, "If our entire army can be united like this, the glory of France will surely shine on the world again."

Although I waited and watched for a long time, I surrendered very late. But as long as he comes, it will be fine. After all, he is a general and will definitely be useful.

Then, he looked at his grandson again, "Char, Jellal and your father have been good friends since childhood, so he is also considered your uncle. Now that you have obtained such a position, although it does not play a decisive role. , but you must always help your own people? You must help your uncle in the future, do you hear me?”

After receiving such a clear answer from the Marquis of Treville, General de Corvey was obviously a little happy. However, he quickly calmed down his expression again and returned to the calmness before.

"What are you talking about, Uncle Victor?" General de Corvey immediately shook his head, "Of course Edgar and I are good friends, but this is another matter!"

Then, he looked at Charles seemingly sincerely and said, "Charle, your work is very important and hard-won. I hope you can handle it impartially and not show any favoritism because of my relationship with your family. Everyone is bad..."

"Of course I understand this." Charles lowered his head, "When necessary, I will strictly follow the requirements and will never make it difficult for you, sir."

After receiving Charles's answer of "I will never embarrass you", General de Kervey was completely relieved. He found that the decision he made soon got the answer he deserved.

Then, there won't be any hesitation.

After a few more casual pleasantries, the general quickly offered to meet the president, and then left with satisfaction.

………………

After the general left, the old Marquis returned to his thoughtful look.

Charles didn't understand why his grandfather, who had always taught him to be calm and calm in dealing with difficulties since he was a child, seemed to be so excited and even beaming with joy today.

Is it because of Ciel's career progress?

Even if there is some progress, judging from grandpa's usual behavior, he shouldn't be so excited?

I don’t understand.

However, because this was not a particularly important matter, Ciel just hid this doubt in his heart and stopped asking any more questions.

After standing with his grandfather for a while, Charles felt a little bored and decided to go back to deal with the documents, so he planned to say goodbye to his grandfather.

However, grandpa suddenly spoke.

"Char, you've been focusing a lot on your work lately, which is good."

"This is necessary." Charles replied with a smile.

"So, have you gone to see Miss De Dilion recently?" Grandpa suddenly turned his head and looked at Charles, "Tell me the truth."

"Um……"

Although he was a little embarrassed, Ciel decided to tell the truth.

"I've been very busy recently, and I haven't been looking for her..."

Busyness was one reason, and the other reason was that the recent incident with Mary made him a little confused about how to face Matilda and Charlotte, so he simply filled up his time with official business - but Of course, Charles didn't dare to tell his grandfather about this.

"Oh, really?" Grandpa nodded, and then said nothing more, but his expression became a little weirder.

He was very relieved now that his grandson was not in too deep after all and could still be saved.

Because of the embarrassment, Charles was even more unwilling to stay any longer, so he quickly said goodbye to his grandfather and returned to his room to prepare for processing documents.

If he could follow his grandfather back to the reception room, I'm afraid he would be able to understand the origin of his grandfather's strangeness.

When the old Marquis came in, Mary was already sitting there waiting.

Her face was very pale, but she seemed to be in good spirits.

After seeing the old Marquis, she wanted to stand up and say hello, but the old Marquis directly waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to be formal.

After sitting down, he looked at Mary with interest and remained silent.

Mary, on the other hand, turned her eyes slightly uneasily and did not dare to look at him, as if she was a little embarrassed or shy.

"It seems that your actions are going well..." After the silence lasted for a while, Marquis Treville nodded to Mary, "Congratulations, miss. I knew that your words would definitely work."

"Thanks to you, things went smoothly..." Mary replied with a chuckle.

Although there was not much respect in this smile, the old man could understand her mood at this time, so he didn't take it to heart.

"Oh, no, no, no, this is not my blessing, but the result of your own efforts." The old Marquis waved his hand, "Although it sounds a bit like boasting, the men in our family have always been very picky. It is for this reason that I came to you.”

It was unclear whether this was a compliment or a joke, which made Mary feel a little embarrassed for a moment, and she didn't know how to answer.

"Take a good rest at home recently." He looked at Mary, who was obviously still a little unwell, with great concern. "I will let the servants greet you well."

What he meant was that the previous threat had been lifted and she could stay as she pleased.

"No, I can take care of myself by myself." Mary replied, still smiling, "You don't have to worry about me."

"I thought you would blame me..." The old man nodded, obviously very satisfied with Mary's attitude, "Okay, good, I know you are a smart child."

Mary bowed slightly.

Although she had no respect for this old thing, Mary was naturally able to endure this small discomfort.

Now is not the time to offend him.

Yes, she had already thought about it very clearly. Now that she has reached this step, she must find a way to do it to the end. If we could really find a way to hold that person back, wouldn't that be considered a good thing?

If that day really comes, after this old thing dies, won't she be able to use her influence on that person to really do whatever she wants?

"If you have any requests in the future, just ask me and I will find a way. Of course, I still have the same request for you. Continue to stay with Charles. I wish you good luck, child."

"As you wish, sir," Mary replied with a smile. (To be continued...)
