Make France Great Again

Chapter 114 Restructuring the General Staff?

The news that Colonel Conrobert became President Jérôme Bonaparte's adjutant was reported by the "Bonaparte Newspaper" and soon spread throughout Paris.

The people of Paris began to be curious about the colonel who was favored by the prince and president. In order to meet the gossip needs of the Paris people, the next few issues of the "Bonaparte" focused on "deep digging" of Colonel Canrobert's life story , Under the description of the pen under the banner of "Bonaparte", one after another short story in the style of romance has swept the entire Parisian circle.

The people of Paris were surprised to find that there was such a "strong general" in France. Rumors about Jerome Bonaparte's "wisdom eye" who recognized talents spread in Paris, and the adjutant Canrobert became the "star general" of Paris. ", Jerome Bonaparte has also become a veritable "Little Napoleon".

This kind of down-to-earth propaganda has once again increased the popularity of Jerome Bonaparte, linking Jerome Bonaparte with Emperor Napoleon, making Parisians lower the threshold for future coups and easier to accept Change.

After all, Parisians' enthusiasm for revolution will gradually disappear with each "revolution" and "failure" again and again.

Not to mention that the current Senna people have gradually become accustomed to the coming and going of the army.

If there are fewer soldiers coming in and out, they may not be used to it.

Compared with the random guesses of the citizens of Paris, the military officers who attended the banquet obviously understood "what happened" better.

In their eyes, Conrobel was the first person to "eat crabs".

The officers criticized Canrobert verbally, accusing him of kowtowing to please Jerome Bonaparte in order to obtain a courtier, and at the same time, they did not envy Canrobert in their hearts for getting such a good opportunity.

Under Jerome Bonaparte's policy of buying a horse's bone with a thousand dollars, more and more people are moving closer to the Elysee Palace in order to gain power.

A warm wind blows away the cold snap of January and February, and at the same time blows away the tense atmosphere in Paris.

Although the vernal equinox has passed, the weather in Paris is still a little cool.

While the citizens of Paris took off their cotton clothes one after another, they added a layer of coat on the inner lining.

Jérôme Bonaparte was no exception. After taking off his slightly bloated coat, he put on a black Flac corset, paired with brown-red kilet trousers and black leather shoes on his lower body, looking like an upper-class gentleman of the bourgeoisie .

At this time, he was sitting in the study of the Elysee Palace. Colonel Canrobert, who had a burly figure but was slightly bald, was standing beside Jerome Bonaparte in a blue National Guard uniform. Sitting opposite him was the French Minister of War Liueli.

Jérôme Bonaparte introduced Canrobert beside Liueli and said, "Minister Liueli, this is my adjutant, Colonel Canrobert!"

Hearing Jérôme Bonaparte introduce himself, Canrobert straightened his back even more.

"Not bad! Like a battle-tested soldier!" Liueli nodded in satisfaction, and extended an olive branch to Conrobel and said, "How is it? Are you interested in visiting our War Department?"

Conrobel did not answer Minister Liueli, he understood why he was able to receive the olive branch of the Minister of War.

In the final analysis, it is because of President Jérôme Bonaparte. The difference between a colonel and the Minister of War is the difference between an ordinary person and a multi-millionaire. Unless he is summoned by the Ministry of War, it is impossible for an ordinary colonel to meet him several times. Secretary of War.

As for determining whether a person is an excellent person by standing posture, it is more of a polite remark by Liu Eli.

If standing upright can gain the closeness of the Minister of War, Conrobel believes that there must be many people who are willing to train day and night to get close to the Minister of War.

When the training is completed one day, the Minister of War may have been transferred away long ago.

Conrobert's silence made the scene look awkward.

Seeing the atmosphere getting increasingly anxious, Jerome Bonaparte hurriedly said: "I wish for it! Minister Liueli,

I remember that your Ministry of War still lacks a secretary of state, right? "

"We..." Liueli, who was about to say that there is no shortage, changed his words instantly. He nodded and said, "Yes! The Ministry of War lacks a responsible and courageous secretary of state!"

Then Liueli looked at Conrobel again and said, "We just need someone like Conrobel!"

"Canrobert!" Jerome Bonaparte said.

Canrobert, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke again: "Yes! Your Majesty!"

"I don't know if you are interested in serving as the Secretary of State of the Ministry of War! This is also a kind of exercise for you."

Since Liueli gave Jerome Bonaparte a chance to intervene in the Ministry of War, Jerome Bonaparte would be sorry for Liueli's "hard work" if he didn't intervene, Jerome Bonaparte tactfully Conveyed to Canrobert that he wanted to control the Ministry of War.

Canrobert, who has been in the army veterans for more than ten years, obviously understood Jerome Bonaparte's meaning, and he immediately stated: "I am willing to follow the orders of the President and the Minister, and go to the Ministry of War to exercise!"

"The Ministry of War welcomes a soldier like you who has made a difference!" Liueli said to Conrobel with a smile.

Afterwards, he turned his attention to Jerome Bonaparte and said with self-pity: "I've had enough of those soldiers in the Ministry of War who are sitting in their corpses. It's better to say that they are a group of politicians than they are soldiers."

"Don't be impatient, Mr. Minister!" Jerome Bonaparte pressed his right hand and said: "The operation of the army cannot be separated from the bureaucracy, and of course it cannot be separated from those wars that really dare to fight! A country without bureaucratic coordination An army that plans logistics will only fall into chaos before the war comes, and an army without a military spirit will also be unable to win a war. We must learn to combine the two, so that they can organize logistics effectively and allow them to have War power!"

"Your Excellency, this is really too difficult!" Liueli complained, then changed the subject and praised: "Only the emperor and those marshals who follow the emperor can take into account the characteristics of both!"

"Mr. Minister, since we still have some gaps in the specific marshals, why don't we use an effective system to make up for our personal wisdom." Jerome Bonaparte crossed his hands on the table, "Sometimes, A mature system is more important than a single talented general! After all, a talented general is something that cannot be found, but a mature system can run smoothly."

"Your Excellency, what should I do?" Minister Liu Eli put on a posture of unintentional study.

"The Ministry of War should plan its powers and responsibilities, and some of them should do political-related work or military-related work. Political personnel should not be allowed to intervene in military work, otherwise it will appear that laymen guide experts. The same is true for political work. "
