King's Landing in France

At least in his own heart, he was ready for a de facto military dictatorship, but he himself did not realize it.

Berthier looked at An Ning with a complicated taste.

Murat and Neyin, who didn't have time to run, were awkward in place, at a loss.

An Ning did not feel that there was any problem, and continued to talk about business: "In order to ensure the safety of the border, we need to strengthen the garrisons of two forts and a series of border cities. The problem of supplies will be resolved by Kano and the local National Assembly. The other is the rebellion. Army, I think that the old Dumas, Kleber and Moreau who have performed outstandingly in recent battles can be promoted to command the counter-insurgency army.”

Berthier: "Kleiber and Moreau are fine, but old Dumas is black."

"What's wrong with black people? As long as they have talent, they can command the army. This is the biggest difference between the army of the Republic and the army of the old kingdom!

"This can be used as an excellent example of publicity!" An Ning said in an unquestionable tone, "I will personally write to Kano and give them a promotion."

Berthier reminded: "The rank of general requires parliamentary approval."

"Do you need the approval of the parliament! Damn it." An Ning cursed, "Okay, then I will personally write a letter to ask the parliament to approve their general appointment."

An Ning paused: "It seems that I need to go back to Paris first."

Berthier: "You have achieved such a brilliant victory in less than half a month since you left Paris. Paris will definitely welcome you warmly."

An Ning: "I believe they will."

At this time, a soldier entered the headquarters: "General, there are envoys from Lyon outside."

An Ning raised her eyebrows: "Leon? That's far enough."

Berthier: "Could something be wrong with your father?"

An Ning frowned. To be honest, he had never had any feelings for his parents in this time and space. He just kept sending them money in order to evade his responsibilities as a son.

It has been safe and sound all the time, because there are not many literate people in his family, and it is very inconvenient to find someone to write letters for him.

Is direct interaction with parents unavoidable?

An Ning didn't think about it, and said to the soldier who reported the message: "Let the messenger come in."

The soldier immediately gave way and said to the outside: "Mr. Messenger, please come in."

A well-dressed gentleman entered the room, followed by a young servant, holding a stick wrapped in oiled paper.

The gentleman took off his hat to An Ning: "Your Excellency, I would like to extend my greetings to you on behalf of Mr. Fouche!"

—It turned out to be Fouché, the chameleon.

An Ning was a little relieved: "I have received his greeting, is there anything else?"

"Well, Monsieur Fouché has a little present for you."

As he spoke, the gentleman took the stick from the servant's hand and carefully tore off the greased paper.

Then a pure gold flagpole appeared in front of An Ning, with an eagle spreading its wings engraved on the head of the flagpole.

Gentleman: "The style of the eagle emblem imitates the Roman eagle emblem in the album. Mr. Fouche thinks you will like it."

An Ning managed to close her mouth: "Yes, yes, I 'like it very much'."

Damn, I'm not Napoleon, I didn't really want an eagle emblem!

Now the rumors are going to become true!

Chapter 277 The Sower Andy

An Ning frowned, and took the golden stick—I mean, the golden flagpole.

An Ning: "The eagle withered pretty well."

"Mr. Fouché found the best goldsmith in Lyon." The messenger said proudly.

An Ning held the flagpole and looked it over, thinking that she absolutely couldn't use this flagpole, because in the European environment, if you use this flagpole, even if you don't become emperor, it will be almost too soon.

But...it doesn't seem to matter?

In real history, the Jacobins killed a lot of enemies for the revolution, and then they killed them all. After the Jacobins fell, one of the Thermidorians who came up was all careerists and speculators.

Apart from making a lot of money for themselves, these people don't do any anthropomorphic things.

In fact, many of the achievements of the law revolution were not fixed until the time when Napoleon proclaimed himself emperor.

Taking advantage of this time to play the banner of the contemporary Caesar and become the first ruler, maybe he can avoid the destruction of the Jacobins?

When An Ning was thinking about this, Napoleon rushed in excitedly, and shouted as soon as he came in: "Andy! That's great, I knew you could do it! The 20 coalition army was just beaten away by you! "

Napoleon wanted to boast a few more words, but when he saw the eagle flag in An Ning's hand, his entire expression changed: "This is the eagle flag! The eagle flag of Rome! Are you finally going to play the eagle flag directly? Great! Yes, all the rout soldiers I caught on the road said that you played the eagle flag, but I didn't expect it to be true!"

No no no, I just got the eagle flag!

Napoleon stepped forward, dancing happily: "So it's true! He charged the enemy with the eagle flag himself, even Caesar never did such a thing! Andy, restore the Roman Empire! The Roman Empire around the Mediterranean Sea!"

An Ning looked at Napoleon, a super Roman fan, and was speechless.

Is it that easy to rebuild the Roman Empire?It’s not in the Paradox game, just click a decision to rebuild Rome...

Even in Paradox games, rebuilding Rome is a big goal that is enough to be the end goal of the entire game. Generally, after completing the feat of rebuilding Rome, the game is about to be blocked.

Napoleon became more and more excited: "Then we will restore the Roman military system and form the Roman Legion..."

In order to make him shut up, An Ning stuffed the flagpole of the eagle flag into Napoleon's hand.

This trick really worked, and Napoleon immediately turned his attention to the flagpole: "Oh, it's really great, it's so delicate. Did you ask Andy to order this?"

"No, it was the work of Commissioner Foucher."

Napoleon's expression immediately restrained: "Fouche? Damn, this man is not loyal, and he has absolutely no peace of mind. He is just like Talleyrand. We are going smoothly now, and he will be very attentive. When we get unlucky, he will They will fall into trouble without hesitation!"

An Ning: "I know."

An Ning is of course very clear about the behavior of Fouché and Talleyrand.

Speaking of which, Andy Frost originally wanted to use these two people as role models, but unfortunately he can no longer ride the wall.

Napoleon continued: "I heard that Talleyrand went to England to engage in diplomacy. I think he may have colluded with the British guys again and sold France for a good price."

An Ning: "Not yet, because Talleyrand is very discerning, and he knows that it is more profitable to bet on France now."

Napoleon smiled: "That is, after all, Andy, you are extremely brave, and you have won consecutive battles. No one will bet on the loser's side."

At this time Napoleon turned his eyes to Murat and Neyin.

"Who are these two? Where is La Salle?"

An Ning shrugged: "He got too carried away and got injured. He probably spends drinking and touching women's buttocks every day in Paris."

"That's right, it's really enviable. No, I mean, it's really irritating!" Napoleon said firmly, "Even if you are injured, you still have to go to the battlefield to fight. It's the time when there is a shortage of officers!"

An Ning smiled, and introduced Murat and Neyin to Napoleon: "This is Noachan Murat, a very good cavalry officer, and this is Michel Neyin, who is also very... er, I mean, very Excellent blacksmith."

After all, Murat was a cavalry officer before the Great Revolutionary War, so it's okay to say that he is excellent.

Nei Yin in this time and space was a blacksmith before, so it is obviously inappropriate to say that he is an excellent officer.

An Ning: "Although he is a blacksmith, I feel in him the potential to become an excellent officer."

Napoleon: "Your feelings are always right. Your ability to recognize people is really nothing to say! That Bernadotte, I heard that he played well in Verdun."

An Ning: "Where's Bernadotte? He didn't come?"

Verdun is much closer to the current location of the Tranquility Command than Sedan.

Napoleon: "The enemy on his side has just retreated, and they are probably busy cleaning up the battlefield. The enemy on my side ran early. By the way, I brought Grand Duke Karl."

An Ning: "Didn't you say it earlier? Please!"

Napoleon snapped his fingers, and his soldiers who were waiting at the door immediately went out to invite the Grand Duke in.

As soon as the Grand Duke entered, he stared at the flagpole with the eagle emblem.

Napoleon noticed it and hurriedly hid the flagpole behind his back, but the flagpole was too high and he was too short, which made the hiding more obvious.

Archduke Karl: "It seems that you are ready to declare yourself the current Caesar?"

An Ning: "No, Caesar is the title of Emperor Shinra, and if Shinra is still alive, I won't call myself Caesar."

Napoleon: "You may call yourself Augustus."

Augustus is also the honorific title of the Roman emperor, but I don't know why Byzantium didn't use it, but made Basilius himself.

An Ning: "Don't do this, I know you are joking, but the Grand Duke will take it seriously. I have known you for a long time, the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, Karl Ludwig Johann Joseph Lorenz."

Grand Duke Karl held An Ning's hand: "Don't dare, you are the real and famous General Frost, the savior of France."

An Ning: "Even the Austrians call me the savior of France?"

"What? I thought it was something like a title..."

"Nope." An Ning waved his hand, "I'm just an ordinary citizen of the Republic. I received the order of the National Assembly to lead the army to fight, that's all."

While An Ning was humbled, an idea came to mind.

—Wait a minute, maybe it would be interesting to plant a seed of republic here for Grand Duke Karl?

In history, the Archduke Karl carried out a series of reforms in Austria after seeing everything in the Republic with his own eyes, especially the power of the new National Self-Defense Force.

Although the reform is mainly military, maybe if you work harder, you can push Grand Duke Karl back to an unimagined path?

Of course, this does not refer to that road, but the bourgeois revolution, after all, the time is limited.

So An Ning was about to speak...

At this time, Grand Duke Karl turned his gaze from the eagle flag to An Ning, his eyes sparkling with curiosity: "Your Excellency Frost, can you tell me carefully about your views on the advantages of nation-states?"

An Ning was taken aback: Yo Ho, are you asking yourself a question?

Napoleon said as if boasting: "Since I told him about your views on the nation-state, he has been thinking about it, asking me questions and debating with me from time to time! I tried my best, but I still can't fully The answer to his question is up to you!"

Chapter 278 Praise from Bernadotte

On this day, An Ning talked with Grand Duke Karl all day long.

His own feeling is that the door to a new world has been opened for Grand Duke Karl, and the rest depends on his creation.

The reform cannot be carried out, and there is still the possibility of being knocked off by his brother Franz, but taking a step back, Austria has knocked off the only famous player it can fight, Karl, and that is a good thing!

Maybe it will be processed at that time, and it can be advertised that Frost's three words will make Austria abolish its martial arts.

That night, until late at night, Grand Duke Karl returned to the guest room prepared for him contentedly.

The next day, Bernadotte also arrived at the headquarters from Verdun.

As soon as he entered the door, Bernadotte, like Napoleon, saw the eagle flag placed in the corner against the wall at a glance, and was stunned.

An Ning immediately remembered that Bernadotte was a die-hard republican, and hurriedly said, "This is a gift from Fouché. I don't intend to become a dictator."

Bernadotte was even more puzzled: "Ah? What dictator?"

Well, people didn't think about it at first, I didn't ask myself.

An Ning hurriedly made amends: "Aren't you looking at the eagle flag? When you see the eagle flag, you will think of Caesar and the emperor. I am a die-hard republican, and I will not be a dictator."

Bernadotte: "Of course you are, you are even the founder of the republic. Why do you say that?"

An Ning: "It's okay, it's fine if you don't think about it. I'm afraid you might misunderstand. Please report the situation of Verdun Fortress!"

Bernadotte nodded: "The fortress has been defended for nearly four months in total. The enemy's best attempt was to hit the north wall of the fortress, but we recaptured it. However, the long-term fighting made the outer wall of the fortress somewhat damaged. The bunker in Trench Lee has also been destroyed by the coalition forces, in order to prevent the enemy from making a comeback, the location of the bunker needs to be readjusted.”

In the fortresses of this era, apart from the fortresses, there are also some specially set dark rooms and dark forts. For example, there are several such things hidden in the trenches of the Fortress of Verdun. There are cannons in the dark fortresses. Sometimes, solid bullets can be used to sweep through the enemy's queue, causing huge damage.

Because it is impossible for these dark forts to leave secret passages leading to the fortress-this is tantamount to giving the enemy a passage to bypass the strong walls of the fortress and attack the interior.

Therefore, the entrances of these dark forts are all outside. Once exposed, people will quickly find the entrance and break into it.

The death squads stationed in the bunker of Verdun Fortress have probably all died heroically.

An Ning: "You will get the military engineering experts you need. In addition, list the names of those who are stationed in the bunker, and I will reward their families."

Bernadotte immediately took out a stack of documents: "Here. It should be all. I mean, all of my troops."

An Ning took the list solemnly, and said solemnly: "These people have made outstanding contributions to the Republic, and the Republic will never forget them!"

Seeing this, Napoleon patted his head in embarrassment: "Uh, I didn't bring any staff, I just ran here with a few guards, so...Sorry, Andy, I don't have any documents for you here."

An Ning glanced at Napoleon: "I know."

Napoleon was not good at handling these detailed matters. In real history, Berthier was basically responsible for daily affairs and splitting his battle plan into several parts.
