Although the change from Your Excellency to Your Majesty is only a change of title, it means that Stowell's recognition of Napoleon's identity. Everyone knew that there was no resurrection from death, but Storwell's deep contact with Napoleon subtly connected him to the monarch of the empire.

Stottwell took the order from Napoleon and bowed slightly. He was about to say something, but the door to his office was suddenly opened, and Lourew, as Minister of War, rushed directly into Napoleon's office in a rage, despite the dissuasion of his assistant. Slap the crumpled telegram in his hand onto Napoleon's table.

There was a loud "snap", and Stowell's whole hand was numb, and he didn't care at all, but looked at the other party with an indignant gaze.

There was silence in the office, and the scene overwhelmed everyone else present. Captain Stottwell looked at Napoleon, and then at the warlord with an angry face, and for a moment his eyes met.

Napoleon pretended to be at a loss and asked rhetorically, "What's the matter?" Lord Loughlow. ”

He raised the crumpled telegram in his hand and retorted angrily, "Are you forcing the French army to surrender to Prussia, swearing to hold on not to take a step back, and specially sending a political commissar to the front to supervise the battle?" Knowing that our strength is not as good as theirs, we still insist on fighting to the end? ”

Listening to Loewloon's ridiculous remarks, Napoleon did not show anger, looked at the other party calmly, and retorted, "The strength is inferior to the Prussian army, which is the reason why you led the people to surrender?" So should Napoleon III surrender directly to Bismarck from the start? It is not even possible to lead the army over Saarbrücken at all. ”

Leflow was stunned for a moment, not expecting Napoleon's reply to be so neat.

Napoleon had long seen through the nature of this group of incompetent generals, and his nephew, the commander trained by the Second Empire, was the same as Louis Bonaparte, and could only win the battle in the midst of absolute superiority, but could not come up with a complete countermeasure when danger was imminent.

"I did not want you to fight to the death with the Prussian army, but only wanted you to hold the fortified cities of France and stop the advance of the Prussian army. But what have you fools done? If you choose to surrender if you can't break through, for you, the government can be changed, but the commander of the army can't be changed, right? ”

Leflo did not speak, because it was an irrefutable fact.

"I, Napoleon, want to tell you today that France will not fall because it is missing one or two commanders. The commander-in-chief of the Rhine Corps, General Bazin, had been removed from his post because of his poor command of the operation. Stottwell took office as the new commander of the Rhine Corps. ”

Nahuang's hand pointed to Levlow, who was caught between the two of them, in a dilemma.

"You...... Are you ready to change your manager? ”

Levlo was so angry that he couldn't say anything, and he said angrily, "Do you know that this is the last elite field army unit in France?" ”

Captain Stowell looked at Napoleon uneasily. However, the other party was unusually calm, and he retorted, "If you have any objections to my orders, even if you bring them up, I will not listen to them anyway." You can choose to resign. I will have someone else fill in the General Staff position. But if you still want to stop the advance of the Prussian army, forget about the old ways of fighting the French army. ”

Levoro took off his hat, slammed it on the ground, and pointed at Stovwell through gritted teeth, "You know that General Bazin participated in the Battle of Solferino, the Crimean War, and the Aid to Mexico Campaign, and his combat experience is far better than the Stowell you promoted, don't forget that you are just ......"

"The incompetent commander should be directly replaced, and it is already merciful to him if he is not dealt with by military law on the spot."

Napoleon interrupted the other man's roar succinctly and straightforwardly, and directly picked up the collar of the War Minister.

"Imposters? My God, can you change the tone to a new one, I'm tired of the endless preaching of you fools. If it is true, as you say, that you are an experienced commander-in-chief, why the Franco-Prussian War was fought like this is simply a shame in the history of French warfare. ”

Once again, Leflo was silenced by the other party's rhetorical question.

Napoleon let go of his hand and pushed Leflo back, completely ignoring his face.

Napoleon would not have been awarded a medal for his participation in the Algerian colonial war, as a member of the Parliament of the Second Republic, or as the French ambassador to St. Petersburg.

Moreover, Bazin's fool surrendered to the Prussian army without getting in touch with the national defense government, which led to the loss of the last elite field army in France, and also caused Bismarck to raise the war reparations from 200 million to 5 billion francs. On this basis alone, these so-called respected marshals should be dragged to a military court for trial!

Napoleon slowly opened his eyes, and he made a gesture to shut up, and at that moment, Lefelot's retort turned into a chill.

It was a pair of eagle-like sharp eyes, with a gloomy and intense killing intent.

At that moment, he suddenly thought that the other party was the First Imperial Marshal who commanded a million-strong French legion.

It's not because of the difference in status, but because of pure spiritual awe.

Leflo straightened his collar and said no more.

Napoleon stood up, walked around his desk, walked straight in front of Le Flo, and said in a deep voice, "Listen, I don't want to send the French army to the front because of the stupidity of any of your high-ranking people." So if I hear any more complaints from the Blennes, I will send all the top officials of the General Staff to the front to fight Prussia. ”

"Interim President Trochu has the power to change ......"

Napoleon interrupted impatiently, and he opened his arms, and the light passed through the curtain from behind, and the metal buttons on his sleeves shimmered in the light.

Stand against the light and cut out a floody outline.

Like a monarch on high.

"This is my France, and I am a symbol of the approval of the whole people of Paris."

Hearing this, Leflow looked at the relief figure of the god with a pale face.

Napoleon stepped forward, whispered to Levlo, and said, word by word, "Remember to run fast when the time comes, and don't forget that the commissar is staring at your back with a pistol!" ”

The era of universal conscription has passed, and Prussia's system of compulsory military service will become the new mainstream in Europe.

"Because from now on, the army is no longer a mercenary for the highest, but an army of the people."
