Soon the Duke of Braunschweig got the latest information: just opposite, the defensive war devil who organized an impregnable defense, and the nightmare of the same surname Bonaparte, Joseph Bonaparte, was hit by a bullet in the previous battle, and his life and death are unknown.

"We hit another French commander?" The Duke of Braunschweig felt that this news was a bit too nonsense. However, don't talk too much about things on the battlefield, for example, during the Seventy Years' War, didn't the Nordic lion Gu Erye lose his life in the battle of great victory?

In addition, none of the senior officers of the Anglo-Prussian army are willing to go back with a big defeat - although it seems that one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, but it is better than one will fail and ten thousand bones will wither, anyway, ten thousand bones have already withered, right?

But if you don't distinguish between the real and the fake, you will run headlong, and then be ravaged by others by various means, then you really can't even allow your self-esteem. So, everyone decided to stop and take a look. Of course, at the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the defense on your side.

At the same time, Paris was in chaos. Because Joseph considered that he must also hide from Paris at the same time. Because on the Paris side, it is almost a colander, all kinds of news, as long as those guys in Paris know, immediately, all kinds of businessmen will know, and then, there are some military secrets, those bankers know faster and more specific than the generals.

And those businessmen often have the habit of stepping on several boats, and if any secret comes into their hands, it would be strange if the royal party or even the spies of other countries did not know about it. So if Joseph told the Directory in Paris that he was just pretending to be injured, it wouldn't take an afternoon for everyone in Paris who had a little money and a little status to know that he was pretending to be injured. What's the hell with that?

But hiding it from the Directory also brings another problem, and that is that the Directory guys take it seriously. Then this military secret, which was supposed to be highly secret, was immediately known to all of Paris, and even some newspapers published it.

Of course, "Science Pravda" immediately stood up to refute the rumors, and said: "At this time of national crisis, everyone must be calm, and we must not believe or spread rumors!" ”

However, Science Pravda did not produce any conclusive evidence to prove that the legends on the market were all rumors. On the contrary, another news article in the newspaper Scientific Pravda appeared to confirm the rumor: on the Cato front, General Moreau had repelled the British attack and would quickly go to Verdun to support General Joseph Bonaparte.

In everyone's opinion, this military transfer almost confirmed the authenticity of the legend of Joseph's injury. Obviously, if it wasn't for Joseph's injury, what would Morrow do at this time?

In addition to this, other actions seem to confirm this, and according to some newspapers, Mr. Lavoisier, who had just returned to Paris and resumed teaching at the University of Paris, suddenly left Paris for work and returned to Toulon. In addition to Mr. Lavoisier, it is said that many researchers working at the institutes of the "military-industrial complex" urgently went to Toulon "because of the necessities of their work". And Science Pravda did not refute this rumor. Just said: "This is a normal transfer that has been planned for a long time." ”

Of course, this is not the case, but what is worse is that in the Directory, there were all kinds of money running away again, for example, this morning, when the employees of the Ministry of Finance went to work, they found that Garcia, the secretary of the minister, had not come. Then it was soon discovered that Garcia used forged signatures to take a large amount of government funds in the name of receiving government salaries and ran away with his sister-in-law.

This is not an isolated case, there are countless things like this.

In the midst of this confusion, the royal party was once again active, and some of the guys, especially the National Guard of some of the propertied communities, were once again hooked up with them - anyway, now the Red Army, and even the gendarmerie, had been taken to Verdun by Joseph. In some places, the white flag of the royal party was even blatantly hung out again.

This, in turn, added to the chaos in Paris, and on the other hand, the public security department, which had been able to effectively suppress the activities of the royal party, was particularly lazy at this time, and it was rumored that the public security minister, Fouché, was also in contact with the royal party. Paris seems to be about to change again.

Naturally, Napoleon had received news from Joseph, and by this time his army had entered a state of rapid march and was rushing towards Paris as fast as possible.

On the night of March 16, 1798, a rebellion broke out in Paris, and by noon the next day, the opportunists who had fallen against the royal party quickly took over most of the city and began to prepare for another siege of the Capitol. But at this time, the news suddenly came that General Napoleon had arrived in Paris with a large army.

So there was a very interesting scene, although Napoleon's army did not appear, but the National Guard that surrounded the Reichstag suddenly disappeared in large numbers. When General Augereau's cavalry appeared in the square outside the Capitol, the entire square and around the square was empty enough to be used for the filming of "I Am Legend".

In short, at the most critical moment, our General Napoleon Bonaparte once again saved the Republic and saved the revolution. And what is even more rare is that in this counterinsurgency, General Napoleon Bonaparte and his troops showed amazing restraint, and not a single rebel was killed, and the rebellion was quelled very peacefully. It fully demonstrates the style of the mighty division and civilized division of the Italian legion.

After successfully suppressing another rebellion of the royal party and recovering all the parliamentarians who could still be found, (some of whom had already run away before the riots began, and now they don't know where they had gone, and naturally they could not be found) for the sake of the country's future, General Napoleon personally went to the Reichstag to give a speech.

On the way to the speech, Lucien said to Napoleon: "Napoleon, are you ready for the speech?" I'll tell you, what about the speech, you have to ...... first."

"Come on, Lucien." Napoleon waved his hand, as if to drive away a buzzing fly, but fortunately he did not mean to tie a bow around his neck with Lucien's intestines, "I am in the army, I don't know how many speeches have been made, what is a speech?" Still use you to teach me? Just wait and see! ”

Then Napoleon entered the parliament hall in a majestic manner and addressed the parliamentarians.

In his speech, Napoleon said that the current French government is really too unreasonable, weak, corrupt, incompetent, inefficient, full of all kinds of liars, scum, traitors, and actually made a good situation to such a point, which is completely ruining the efforts of the revolutionary soldiers, and if this continues, the French revolution will be completed sooner or later. In order to save the revolution and save France, he suggested that the government should be reorganized immediately and a strong, incorruptible and efficient new government should be established to defeat all the enemies of the revolution.

Napoleon had expected the parliamentarians to cheer at him like his soldiers, but the parliamentarians questioned him:

"General Bonaparte, are you going to establish a military government?"

"General Bonaparte, are you going to be a poisoner?"

"We overthrew a tyrant, and now you want to be the second?"

Later, the shouts of "Down with the tyrant of poisonous vegetables, long live democracy" simply rang out.

The actions of the parliamentarians were completely unexpected by Napoleon, and Napoleon did not prepare for this, and for a time his face turned pale and he was at a loss.

Perhaps it was Napoleon's actions that encouraged the parliamentarians, who simply left their seats and gathered around Napoleon, who had already begun to look around and find a place to escape.

"Damn it, I didn't even have a gun when I came in!" Napoleon thought.

At this moment of great urgency, a group of soldiers and policemen, led by Lucien and Fouché, rushed in.

"Bang bang!" Lucien fired two shots into the air.

The menacing councillors immediately returned to their seats, just like elementary school students who saw the head teacher.

Lucien gave Napoleon a wink, motioned for him to hurry out, and then he went up to the podium, looked around the crowd viciously, and said: "I know that some of you have betrayed the revolution, betrayed France, and become lackeys of Bourbon!" Do you still want to murder the heroes of the revolution and the saviors of the republic? Don't be deceived by these guys, be vigilant, be vigilant! ”

There was a slight commotion among the councillors, but when they looked at the soldiers with loaded guns, they were silent.

"Now I propose that the immunity of those parliamentarians who collude with the royal party be removed. Everyone voted by a show of hands. Lucien said, raising his hand first.

Then, one by one, the councillors raised their hands.

"Very good, vote passed!" Lucien Road.

Lucien then gave up his place to Fouché, who took out a small notebook from his side and began to read his name. Every time he pronounced a name, one person was pulled out by the police, and Fuche didn't pronounce many names, only five. But these five people were the ones who had just taken the lead in attacking Napoleon.

When these people were dragged out one by one. Lucien added: "Now, shall we ask Monsieur Napoleon Bonaparte to come back and give speeches?" ”

So Napoleon was invited back, and his speech became very brief: "You have heard what I have just proposed, and now we will vote by a show of hands, who will approve and who will oppose?" ”

As a result, all the members of the Council of 500 voted in favor of the revolution and for France and history in the spirit of being responsible.
