Fox of France

After Pope made a request for "tactical guidance", Carnot ordered Napoleon to take the Fifth Army southward. And Napoleon had already made preparations. He had studied Toulon on the map for countless times. After receiving the order, Napoleon gave an order, and the entire Fifth Army immediately moved into action. It only took half a day. The Fifth Army left the station and began to march south.

But the army had just set off when an orderly overtook Napoleon.

"General Bonaparte, General Carnot has a new order for you," said the orderly.

Napoleon took the order and thought to himself: "What is Carnot up to? What order is he going to issue, can't it be earlier? It's not too late, but at this time, it can be seen..."

While thinking this way, Napoleon opened the envelope and pulled out the order. He glanced at the order, then put away the warrant, turned around and said to his orderly, "Go and find Commander Davout."

After a while, Davout appeared in front of Napoleon.

"General! Davout reports to you." Davout got off his horse and saluted Napoleon.

"Louis, I just received an order and I have to leave the army for a while. You are now leading the whole army in my place and marching according to the original plan. If there is no accident, I should be able to return to the army early tomorrow morning. If I return tomorrow morning If I don’t come back in time, I will also send new orders from the messenger. Do you understand?”

"Understood!" Davout replied loudly, apparently Napoleon entrusted him with the management of the entire army, even if it was only temporarily, even if it was only for half a day, it still made him very excited.

Leaving the army temporarily in the hands of Davout, Napoleon turned westward with a regiment of cavalry. At sunset, Napoleon led the cavalry to the destination - "Army Technology Laboratory".

After revealing his identity, Joseph drove three carts across the drawbridge and appeared in front of Napoleon.

"It's just such a little thing, and you asked me to travel so far to get it? And bring a regiment of cavalry? By the way, Kano's order is unclear. What's in it?" Napoleon asked.

"Mr. Lavoisier's new toy." Joseph said, "the power is very good, you should use it."

While speaking, Joseph handed an envelope to Napoleon: "This is the instruction manual for that thing. After the test is successful, we will immediately produce this thing with all our strength. But you know, the number of laboratory production is limited. Until now, that's how it is. A lot. You are about to go to war, so you take this thing there, try to use it, and after you use it, give us an experience report.”

"Damn, Lavoisier's things!" Napoleon couldn't help but glanced at the three carriages, "Is this thing safe? It won't be on the way of transportation, right?"

Napoleon knew that one of the reasons why Joseph brought Lavoisier into the laboratory was that Lavoisier invented a lot of explosives. Since this thing is "Lavoisier's new toy", it must be something that will explode. Considering his nitroglycerin, Napoleon felt that it would be better for him to stay away from the three cars.

"Don't worry, it's quite safe. It won't be a big problem if you put it in the fire." Joseph said, "The specific instructions and usage are all in the manual. You will know when you go back and see. In addition, about how With this thing, I also prepared an instructor for you. This is Sergeant Clement, he will go to the south with you, and he will be responsible for teaching you how to use this kind of thing safely."

"General, Sergeant Clement is reporting to you." A tall soldier stepped forward and saluted Napoleon.

"Okay. Clement, you can follow me for the time being." Napoleon said.

After saying this, Napoleon turned to Joseph and said, "Is there anything else?"

"I have been staying in the laboratory for a while, and the news is not very well-informed. Does Lucien have any news?" Joseph asked.

"How could there be any news?" Napoleon said, "What about your brain? If you know the four arithmetic operations, you can easily figure out whether they have reached Corsica at this time. How could there be at this time?" information?"

"Stupid thing, I mean, you go south, and if you have any news, you notify me immediately."

"Come on, you don't need to talk about this kind of thing? Well, if there is nothing else, I will go first." Napoleon stepped on the stirrup with one foot and was about to get on the horse, but he turned around again and said to Joseph: "I heard that Paris is very cold in winter, you have to be careful not to catch a cold."

"Okay, okay, take care of yourself, I still need you to worry about it?" Joseph said disdainfully, but he was slightly moved in his heart.

...

Everyone in the family came to the main room, and the curtains were drawn tightly so that the light in the room would not leak out and attract the attention of people outside.

"Mom, that's it. Joseph and I, as well as Napoleon, think that if you stay in Corsica, there may be some uncontrollable risks. So I will come back secretly and take you to France."

"Go to France? Great, I've wanted to go to France for a long time." A girl lowered her voice. Although the voice was lowered, the excitement couldn't be suppressed no matter what.

"Polina, pay attention to your words and deeds, you are no longer young, and there are guests at home!" Letizia lowered her face and said in a low voice.

The girl stuck out her tongue mischievously, then quickly lowered her head, making a demure look. The light from the candle cast a faint halo on the bangs on her forehead.

"Lucien, do you have to go? We still have a lot of things here, and we can't deal with them for a while..." Letizia said.

"Mom, don't worry about these things. Joseph and Napoleon's income is good. In comparison, these things in Corsica are nothing. The key is everyone's safety. You have to know, the current identities of Joseph and Napoleon They are all important, maybe the British... Joseph said that the most shameless person in the world who can do everything is the British..." Lucien said.

As Lucien said, he quietly kicked Chrysler under the table with his foot, hoping that he would also help to say a few words quickly, so as to persuade Letizia to agree to leave for France immediately.

Chrysler, however, did not move at all. Lucien turned his head and saw that Chrysler was staring at Paulina with his eyes wide open, with a silly look on his face.

In fact, since Paulina appeared, Chrysler's brain has been in a state of shutdown. He never expected that in such a rural place, he would meet such a stunningly beautiful beauty (later, Polina was once called the number one beauty in Europe. And her statue became a famous art treasure), so all the data processing power of his entire brain is now used for aesthetic purposes. The result of this is naturally that other threads are closed one after another to save computing power and storage space to support the most important task in front of them - looking at beautiful women.

Because Chrysler sat relatively back, and his face was just hidden in the shadow of the candlelight, others didn't notice his appearance. Only Lucien was annoyed in his heart: "Why did Napoleon send such a person here!"

Although just now, when Paulina came down the stairs, even Lucien was suddenly a little dazed when he saw her for the first time. However, Lucien felt that the reason why he was like this was entirely because he hadn't seen Paulina for several years, and Paulina was so different from before.

After returning to Corsica, Lucien always had a feeling that time here seemed to be frozen, and nothing changed. It's the same at home. Everything in the house is the same as when he left a few years ago, there is no difference. Even the mother Letizia is just older, but there is not much difference. Polina alone shattered this impression. The mother is still the mother in the impression, but the younger sister is no longer the younger sister in the impression.

Now in front of his eyes is a long, beautiful, most attractive person with a woman who has reached adulthood but still retains the most innocent and innocent figure of a girl, coupled with amazing chestnut hair with golden streaks , a forehead as smooth as jade, cheeks as bright as a rose petal, and the neck of the nymph in the forest engraved by Jean Goujon and the face of Mary depicted by Raphael.

The naughty little girl in Lucien's impression has now turned into a young girl of cardamom age, that's all. This phenomenon is actually very common. There is a moment when the girls seem to be buds that burst forth suddenly and become roses in the blink of an eye. Yesterday people ignored them as children, but when we meet again today, they feel that they are disturbing people's minds.

While thinking this way, Lucien stepped on Chrysler hard.

This suddenly made Chrysler sober. He didn't yell like in those TV scenes in later generations, but lowered his eyelids without saying a word.

"Major Chrysler is Napoleon's battalion commander. Napoleon entrusted him with the responsibility for this matter. Mom, you can ask him about some things," Lucien said.

"Ah, that's right." Chrysler hurriedly said, "The general believes that you are all in great danger, and any delay will multiply the danger. Therefore, you must leave Corsica as soon as possible, the sooner the better." , it is best to leave tonight."

"Tonight? How is it too late? We still have..." Letizia said.

"Just someone is enough," Lucien said. "We will go out quietly in a while. Our ship is in the place where Napoleon used to hide. Well, Mama doesn't know, but Pauline does. On board, It’s safe. As for things, you’ll have everything in France. Joseph and Napoleon have already bought you a manor in France.”

"Really, a manor? This is really wonderful!" Paulina couldn't help but speak again.

After saying this, Polina quickly glanced at her mother, then quickly lowered her head and continued to pretend to be a lady.

"Okay then, but at least I need to pack my luggage, bring the title deed, a change of clothes, and..." Letizia said
