Chapter 81 The official made a wish
The first meeting with General Saint-Arnaud was much more lighthearted than Charles had imagined.
As history has shown, this general not only had a ruthless iron fist, but also a cool head, able to judge the gains and losses rationally, and most importantly he had enough ambition and was willing to do anything for it.
Perhaps, he was able to talk so happily with each other because we had too much common language.
Feeling satisfied enough, he walked out of the room for a moment and found Carrion.
"How's it going to talk to him? Satisfied? Carrion asked in a low voice.
"Well, quite satisfied. He is indeed a man who dares to turn his head at a large group of colleagues for what he wants. Charles nodded, "Let's arrange it, we'll go to the president right away." ”
"Don't think about it anymore? Charles, you shouldn't be the only one who can recommend him, right? As if he wanted to say something, Carrion looked to the side with some hesitation, and then leaned over to Charles's side and whispered, "Charles, listen to me, this is not a joke!" The president said you were fully responsible for this, and he meant it. Don't think that he will be merciful when he pampers you now, if you think so, you will be bad! So, I advise you to think again...... Don't be in too much of a hurry. ”
"Thank you for the reminder." Charles patted the other party's shoulder with emotion, "However, I have decided now, and I must stay the course." There are times when we have to act quickly, and hesitation will only cost us more. I see that this General Saint-Arnaud is the man we need. So be sure to recommend him to the president. ”
"Good boy! Ruthless enough! Charles, I didn't know you were still so aggressive! "I don't know if it's praise or ridicule. Carrion couldn't help but shout, "Okay. Since you're talking about this, I'll report it to the president, and you give me and so on. ”
"Thank you......" Charles replied with a smile.
He was really confident.
………………
Under Carrion's arrangement, Charles and General Saint-Arnaud soon arrived together in the reception room.
Not long waited, Louis Bonaparte walked in briskly from outside.
General Saint-Arnault immediately stood up and gave a military salute.
"General, I'm glad to see you." Louis Bonaparte waved his hand to the two of them, "I hope my sudden summons didn't bother you too much, I heard that you came back all the way without stopping." ”
"Nope. Mr. President, I didn't bother. General Saint-Arnault replied respectfully, "In fact, I am very honoured to be summoned by you, which is why I have come so quickly." ”
"Hahahaha, it's best if you could think like that." Louis Bonaparte laughed, and then, he pointed at Charles, "Okay." Our time is precious, so we don't say any more polite words. General, you must be very clear by now, right? True, I am now very unhappy with the chaotic state of affairs in the 6th Army. In addition, Count Opple is too strong to hold the position of prime minister and minister of the 6th Army, so he hopes to appoint a full-time minister of the 6th Army. Charles recommended you to me, saying that you were the perfect fit for the role. So I decided to recall you from North Africa......"
"I am very grateful to Mr. Treville for your recommendation and for your favor." The general bowed slightly, indicating that he was fully aware of the situation. "And I intend to repay you with a sincere heart. Mr. ”
"So, are you mentally prepared for this?" Louis Bonaparte's tone became more and more severe, "Sir, I hope you will think it through, for what you will receive is not a fluttering seat, but an unbearable ......."
"I have thought very clearly on the way, Mr. President, I will spare no effort to complete the task you have assigned, no matter how difficult it may be."
"Even if you have to fight against a large group of people?"
"Even if you have to fight against a large group of people." General San Arnault bowed again, "I am a soldier, obedience is my duty, as long as you give an order, I must do everything I can to complete it to the letter." ”
"Very good...... But that's not enough. Louis Bonaparte's face still showed no joy or anger, "I want you to sit in that position, not to be an echo worm, if you want to take on the heavy responsibility, then you need to wield more subjective ability......"
"I will remove one opposition from the 6th Army for you." Because he had been reminded by Charles in advance, General Saint-Arnault's answer was categorical, "You are the supreme leader of our country, and whoever stands in your way is my enemy, no matter what position he is in, no matter how many people he has to protect, I will severely punish him for you." Either they are transferred to the border, or they are transferred to Africa, and if they are die-hards, I can make them take off their uniforms. We can only repay those with an iron fist against those with bad intentions. ”
Louis Bonaparte never answered, but judging from his slight bow, it was clear that he was very satisfied with this answer.
"I hope you'll be able to follow through on that when the time comes."
"I have no doubt about it." General Saint-Arnault's expression was very determined, "I have seen it when I was in North Africa, and the soldiers on the front line have great respect for you, and they generally believe that only under the leadership of the Bonaparte family can the country be stable and the army can pursue its glory...... Sir, you are the natural leader of the army, and anyone who doubts or opposes this will be spurned by the vast number of officers and soldiers, and I will naturally show no mercy to them! ”
Although he knew that the general was picking up nice words, Louis Bonaparte couldn't help but laugh, "Good, good! ”
"Mr. President, I told you that General San Arnault is the best candidate for the post of Minister of the 6th Army." At this time, Charles also interjected at the right time, "He will be able to purge you of those dissidents with ill intentions in the 6th Army with an unwavering will and an iron fist that will not forgive. Of course, before purging the 6th Army, we must purge the 6th Army itself so that it can become an institution purely for your use. ”
"Well, that's right, if we want to comprehensively reorganize the personnel of the 6th Army, we must first hold the 6th Army Headquarters in our hands." Louis Bonaparte immediately nodded to the general, and then pointed at Charles, "Regarding this, you can listen to Charles's opinion more, after all, he has been serving in the 6th Army Department before, and he is very familiar with the situation inside, you have to find a way together to purge the dissidents inside." ”
Although he knew that Charles must have some plans in private, he was not a person without energy, so he could tolerate Charles's careful thoughts, of course, provided that Charles had to come up with a result that would satisfy him.
"I know I'm going to work well with Mr. Treville." In front of these two men, General San Arnaud did not show any condescension, "In the affairs of the 6th Army Department, I will refer to Mr. Treville's opinion in detail. ”
Louis Bonaparte nodded, seemingly pleased with his answer.
"As long as you two can work together, I won't worry much about the rest." He smiled slightly, "If you have any problems, you can discuss them when the time comes, and tell me if you encounter any difficulties." I will consult with Count Opple as much as I can to make this appointment happen as soon as possible, and you will prepare well......"
Although he still looked extremely calm on the surface, General San Arnault still couldn't help but feel a wave of ecstasy in his heart.
"I will not fail your trust, Mr. President." He subconsciously straightened up and gave another military salute to Louis Bonaparte. "You'll soon be able to see what I'm going to do for you."
"I hope so, too." Louis Bonaparte held out his hand and shook it with the other. "General, I understand how important and difficult the task is entrusted to you, so I am not going to leave it to you alone. As long as you are able to complete these tasks, I can reward you with enough rewards. ”
"It is enough that you can trust me so much, and entrust me with such a task, sir." The general hurriedly replied.
"No, no, no, I can't just throw difficulties and troubles at you without giving you anything in return." Louis Bonaparte smiled and shook his head, "Everyone knows that we Bonapartes have always been very generous to our own people. ”
The general bowed his head, pricking up his ears to hear what kind of reward the Bonaparte leader planned to give him in the future.
"If you are able to accomplish this arduous task, you will receive the title of marshal, and the corresponding reward." Louis Bonaparte looked at him calmly, "And, after this, you will be able to continue to lead the 6th Army in your new organization." ”
"New institutions?" The general looked up in some surprise.
"Yes, I intend to separate the military administration and military order affairs of the 6th Army in the future, so that the 6th Army Department can concentrate on only the political affairs of the 6th Army, and establish a department dedicated to military planning and operations to be responsible for military operations, so as to improve the efficiency of the 6th Army." Louis Bonaparte's voice became calmer, "As long as you prove that you are a general with sufficient ability and skill, then you should stay in that position and become the chief of the general staff of the 6th Army......"
"Yes......" After receiving the president's promise, General San Arnault unconsciously responded, and the blood in his whole body seemed to be about to coagulate.
"Congratulations, General." Charles also patted the general on the shoulder. "When the time comes, you will become the supreme commander of the entire 6 Army."
"I ...... I am very honored. The general bowed again to Louis Bonaparte, "then, no one can stop you now, sir." We will crush them. (To be continued......)
