The bigwigs of the revolutionary government had to make the greatest concessions in the face of the surging tide of the rural revolution and the aggressiveness of Lin Haoda, and the autocratic rule of King Louis XVI had collapsed, and the spread of the new rural revolution was the primary problem that the bourgeois revolutionary government had to face.

In the face of the rural revolution that taps into the vested interests of the bourgeoisie, it becomes a matter of course to cooperate with the king's first line and Lin Haoda!

On the evening of the 25th, Meunier once again brought the good news of the Marquis de Lafayette, the absolute good news for Lin Haoda!

"Congratulations, Your Excellency Lin Haoda, soon you will become a member of the French aristocracy, and you will also become the first Asian-yellow-skinned foreign honorary baron in the history of France!

At this afternoon's meeting, the Revolutionary Government has adopted an armistice agreement with a majority vote, except for the democratic radicals of the minority Robespierre line, who oppose the armistice with you, the other members of the Revolutionary Government either support or abstain, and the glory of the French Foreign Legion will be awarded to you in the future, but before that can be done by His Excellency Lin Haoda to do something that will be recognized by the Revolutionary Government. “

Meunier deliberately paused at this point, waiting for Lin Haoda's answer.

In this situation, what else does Lin Haoda not understand?

By this time he had gained the righteousness, and it was justified to suppress the unpopular peasant revolution, and the more people he killed, the happier the revolutionary government and King Louis XVI became, oh yes, the happier the feudal lords would be!

This kind of war, which does not interfere with his own interests and can please the French upper class, what reason does Lin Haoda have to refuse?

Of course, the revolutionary government certainly does not know the reason why Lin Haoda is satisfied as long as there is war and can kill people, and the benefits that should be demanded are still indispensable!

"It is naturally my duty to suppress the peasant uprising that I don't know how to do and have no king's law, but this military expenditure is ......."

Lin Haoda looked at Meunier with a teasing expression, he was blatantly knocking on a small bamboo pole.

Seeing that Lin Haoda was shamelessly opening his mouth to ask for benefits, Meunier couldn't help but argue: "You and your legions have been recognized by the state, and the suppression of the revolution has also had countless benefits for the king Louis XVI whom you support, what more do you want?!" ”

Lin Haoda yawned unhurriedly: "I'm not asking for benefits for myself, I'm just making arrangements for the future of the French Foreign Legion, I only need the expansion of the French Foreign Legion of 50,000 troops, as well as the advance of all kinds of materials for the 50,000 troops in advance for a year, as long as the letter of appointment and materials arrive at the Bastille, I will immediately set off with my army, of course, the Bastille will be officially converted into the garrison barracks of the French Foreign Legion after the establishment of the revolutionary government, It's a waste of this military fortress to be a political prisoner prison, and when I came in, there were no more than 10 prisoners in a huge prison, hehe......"

Meunier's eyes immediately widened, and his face twitched, and he repeated, "What did you say?!" 50,000 !! Oh my God, are you going to station 50,000 troops in Paris, the capital of France? What exactly do you want to do? Do you want to be the king?! ”

"Oh, Your Excellency Meunier, I think you misunderstood, I won't be so ignorant, 50,000 troops naturally can't all be stationed in the city of Paris, France is so big, and the world is so chaotic after the revolution, I think it is necessary for me to contribute to the consolidation of the royal power of the Kingdom of France, didn't my third article say? As long as there is a danger to the interests of the country and the power of the king, I will lead the army to suppress it with all my might, except for the necessary guards who remain in the barracks of the Bastille, and the rest of the soldiers will be outside in the areas of perennial instability, and I do not think that the Marquis de Lafayette will want his government to be overthrown by another revolution.

Isn't it enough for me to assure me that the future French Foreign Legion will be a loyal foreign aid to the King and the Marquis de Lafayette, both in and out of Paris? “

Lin Haoda said softly with an expression that everyone is an ally, even Meunier began to believe in Lin Haoda's promise a little in his heart, and from a rational analysis, Lin Haoda, who has no foundation, really needs the support and support of the government led by the Marquis de Lafayette, and King Louis XVI, who has lost most of his rights, can canonize Lin Haoda, but he can't come up with enough materials to support Lin Haoda's legions, let alone support him to expand his army!

Lin Haoda, who has long stood on the opposite side of the people, has a natural political position with the king and the liberal aristocracy of the Marquis de Lafayette, and Lin Haoda, who cannot participate in politics, seems to be able to get mixed up in France only by relying on the two politically.

With such an analysis, Lin Haoda really has no possibility of betraying his allies, what Meunier ignored was that if Lin Haoda did not have 50,000 troops, but expanded to 100,000, 200,000 or even 500,000, would he still recognize them as allies?

Of course, the recruitment and training of the army is not as simple as having money to talk about it, without the support of a full-scale war system, the expansion of the army is easy to be detected by all forces, not to mention, Lin Haoda does not have such extensive financial support at all!

No one would think that Lin Haoda was expanding his army through war and killing, not through wealth......

"But, 50,000 troops, Your Excellency Lin Haoda, can you recruit them? You must know that the revolutionary government will only provide 50,000 foreign legions for support and wartime supplies, and will not pay for the recruitment and training of troops! ”

Meunier looked at Lin Haoda suspiciously, the bulk of the formation of a large army is not the cost of maintaining the legion, but the cost of forming a recruitment training!

Recruitment and formation need to send a large number of officers and personnel to set up recruitment points in various places, and civilians in this era will first get a lot of 'settling-in allowance' before they will carry guns and follow the recruited officers and personnel, and military uniforms and weapons have to be borne by Lin Haoda, which is not a small amount, much more than the military salary issued later!

Moreover, the cost of recruiting and forming an army not only costs a lot of money at the source, but also a huge amount of military expenses must be paid during training, not a few hundred, but tens of thousands!

Obviously, the revolutionary government will never take out the recruitment cost of the 50,000 French Foreign Legion, and the minimum standard of military pay and materials can be given to Lin Haoda, which is already worthy of this private armed corps hanging in the name of the state.

Of course, the premise of paying military salaries is that Lin Haoda will take his people to really suppress the rural revolution that endangers the vested interests of the bourgeoisie, and only then will the local tyrants of the revolutionary government pay for it, purely to hire a foreign mercenary to serve as their own thugs......
