"Soldier, I'm Captain Bonaparte from Marseille, and I've been ordered to transport a shipment of ammunition to General Carto!" Napoleon stepped forward and gave a military salute to a mustache that looked like a petty officer.

The mustachioed officer looked in very bad condition, with a thick layer of dust on his face, a feathered hat (sāo) wrapped crookedly, and a thick layer of dust on top of it, which was falling little by little as his head shook unconsciously, some of which landed on his beard along his big nose, but he turned a blind eye.

His hearing seemed to be impaired, or the whole person was frightened, causing him to react half a beat slowly, and after half a sound, he said in a distraught voice: "General Carto's headquarters turns left at the second junction ahead, which is the former mayor's mansion in the area, which is easy to identify!" Then he sat down on the ground again, buried his head in his arms, and fell silent with a cross in his arms.

"What's wrong with him?" Han Xing asked in surprise, this guy looks (shēn) burly, and he doesn't look like a fragile person at heart!

"This is war! can destroy the shape of a strong man, maybe he has lost an important friend or relative! Napoleon sighed, crouched down and silently patted the mustachioed officer on the back and gave him a hug.

"That's the only thing we can do for him! Let's go! Napoleon patted the dust on the pie (shēn), and with a little helplessness, smiled and greeted Han Xing.

The mayor's mansion is indeed easy to find, as it is almost the tallest surviving building in the town of Olioure! The exterior wall is made of red brick and is large in scale, and although it is called the mayor's official residence, it actually functions as a city hall, equipped with meeting rooms, banquet halls, and other functions, which is equivalent to the "White House" of the town.

After explaining their intentions, Han Xing and Napoleon were led to the closed door of the conference room, and a straight-bearded guard stepped forward and knocked on the door, "General Carto, there is a Captain Bonaparte from Marseille who has a batch of ammunition to be delivered to you in person!" ”

"Let him in!" The door was opened, and a middle-aged man's voice came from inside, not very majestic, but amiable and predominant.

Napoleon is in front, Han Xing is close in the right rear, and inside is a middle-aged man with long blond hair and a big beard, dressed in the ornate military uniform of a general, who looks like an artist who has put (dàng) uninhibited (ài) freedom. At this time, he was hunched on the map table, looking at the map intently, and from time to time he was talking to another person on the side of (shēn), as if he was discussing tactics. Presumably this is General Karto!

The man next to him (shēn) was a man in his thirties with a severely receding hairline who was about to look like the Mediterranean, and although he had combed his hair forward in an attempt to hide this, Han Xing could see it at a glance. With a large hooked nose, a thin face, and greedy eyes with deep-set eye sockets, this middle-aged man looks like a sinister and selfish capitalist.

"Captain Bonaparte!" General Carto coughed, trying to make his voice sound majestic, but unfortunately it didn't seem to make any sense, and before he could speak, the man next to him (shēn) raised his head and looked up in surprise, "Bonaparte?" Then he saw Napoleon, and he was pleasantly surprised: "Napoleon! I didn't expect it to be you! With that, he gave Napoleon a (rè) (qíng) hug.

"Salichetti, thanks to your help! Thanks to you, I was promoted to a captain by one level! Napoleon said with the same smile (rè) (qíng).

"So this guy is that Mr. Salicetti!" Han Xing suddenly understood, it turned out that the Italian in front of him who looked eagle-eyed and scheming was Salichetti, Napoleon's Corsican fellow + Fuxing in the early stage, who helped him a lot, but later in order to exonerate himself, he threw Napoleon out as a scapegoat.

Of course, this guy is barely righteous, and after clearing his name and feeling that he is safe, he took action to keep Napoleon out, obviously a bad "big brother"!

"You know?" Carto looked at the two hugging (rè) and asked in surprise.

"Napoleon, you have come just in time!" Salicetti let go of Napoleon, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile.

Then he turned (shēn) to General Carto: "This is Napoleon, my Corsican fellow countryman, an artillery officer!" He has a talent for math! I thought, should he temporarily replace Major Maltian as artillery commander? ”

General Carto looked at Napoleon suspiciously, frowned and said, "Is he okay?" ”

Salicetti was a rare sigh of relief, and he patted his chest heavily (xiōng) and said, "Please rest assured, I can vouch for him with my reputation!" He received a systematic military education at the Brienne Military Academy, and later entered the Paris Military Academy! He also commanded the French Revolutionary Army in the Corsica region against the lackeys of the British army, has rich combat experience, and has a very high combat quality! ”

"What a master of distorting the facts and avoiding the important! What a politician! Why don't you tell me that Napoleon's last battle ended in a crushing defeat? Han Xing wanted to laugh after hearing this, and actually beautified Napoleon's "resume" to this point, you must know that the second Corsican conquest led by Napoleon ended in exile in France with his whole family in disgrace.

"Oh well! Since you are a compatriot of the commissioner, and you are indeed competent for the post of artillery commander, I naturally have no reason to object! Later I will write to Paris and ask them to issue the instrument of appointment! General Kaltor stroked his beard and thought for a moment, then nodded "with difficulty".

The general was clearly less of a general and more of a statesman, and his hardships were merely cowardly in order to make Salichetti owe him a person (qíng). From the bottom of his heart, he didn't care who would be the artillery commander at all, and he regarded the appointment of military affairs as a child's play and a political bargaining chip. I'm afraid that even if there is a second fool, he will also look at Salichetti's face and appoint that fool as an artillery officer!

If Han Xing knew the true occupation of this Karto general, he was afraid that his jaw would fall to the ground in shock! Being a general is just his part-time job, and even being a politician is his part-time job, and his real main business is actually ········· Painter!!!

That's right, he and that exalted Führer of the German people, Mr. Hitler, were a profession, a painter! Obviously, during the era of the Revolution, most of the pioneers of the revolution were lawyers, and yes, Robespierre, Danton, Camille de Moulins, and others, who were in the National Assembly, were lawyers! There is no way, the elite of the third estate is only lawyers!

If lawyers rule the whole country, then who will be the generals? The answer is: painters, artists!

Don't laugh, this is also helpless, after all, the third class (commoners) has a low level of education, there are few intellectuals, and the military and clerical schools are monopolized by the aristocracy, and the quota allocated by the Napoleonic brothers is an example!

Therefore, the third class did not have decent officers at all, and the aristocracy could not be trusted, so they had to pick some people with a relatively high revolutionary consciousness and loyalty to the revolution! After all, the most important thing for them is loyalty, and combat effectiveness is secondary!

So our penniless third-rate painter (who did not have any heirlooms), Mr. Carto, completed the inter-industry employment of the century (xìng)! Became a glorious division commander general of the French Revolutionary Army Alpine Army!

If that German comrade Hitler had heard the astonishing deeds of the man in front of him, he would have scolded him angrily!! Then complain about why he didn't have (shēn) France during the Great Revolution, so that he could at least take a lot of detours! With his superb oratorical talent and madness (rè) radical (qíng), maybe he can be directly elected as the supreme leader, and it will save him from running to prison to write a book to "raise hope", right?

This general Carto's inter-bank employment commission is really amazing, and it can be called a magical legend in the industry! However, his military talents were no different from his talents in painting and politics, and it turned out that he was not only a third-rate painter, but also a third-rate politician, plus a general who could not be talked about in the third rate!

Now that the matter was settled, and there was a mixture of harmony and joy between the three of them, Napoleon, after smiling imperceptibly and proudly, suddenly saw Han Xing after (shēn), so he came to Salichetti's ear and said: "Mr. Salichetti, I have a request for no (qíng), this second lieutenant Segaed is my friend, and he has been very happy with me on the way to transport ammunition!" I don't know if I can leave him behind and help me? ”

Originally, Salichetti frowned slightly when he saw that Napoleon had something to do, and his face was displeased, but when he heard that it was just such an innocuous trivial matter, his brows immediately relaxed, and he said with a pleasant face: "Of course it's no problem!" Napoleon, what is our relationship? Own! No problem! He touched Napoleon's head like a big brother.

Napoleon's eyes sank, but a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded as if he were a little brother. Napoleon was a very arrogant man in his bones, and the reason why he had few friends was because he was arrogant and disdained to deal with the French! Moreover, Napoleon's (shēn) high commission is really a hard wound, and Salichetti's "touching the head to kill" is simply "breaking ground on Tai Sui's head"!

Salicetti was very satisfied with Napoleon's appearance, so he walked towards General Carpor (shēn), and then muttered a few words in his ear, General Carto nodded, and Salichetti walked back with a smile, patted Napoleon on the shoulder and said, "It is finished!" ”

Napoleon said a few more words to Tào, and then said, "I want to see the cannons!" Salicetti understood and let him go, and the moment Napoleon turned around, Han Xing could see his smile melt as quickly as snow met with sunshine.

"Hanschel, I'm out for you!" Napoleon smiled wryly, picked up his hat, looked at it, and patted it.

"This Salichetti, what did he think he was? But a self-righteous fool! Napoleon touched his hair hatefully on the road, as if disgusted with Salicetti's dirty hands.

"Aren't you and him pro (rè)? Hug again, kiss again? Han Xing asked in surprise.

"Phew, come on! I worked with him and took care of each other, after all, there are not many Corsicans in France! He needs me, a fellow in the army, as a pillar, I need him as a political umbrella, that's all! But he looks like a big brother everywhere, which makes me really angry! Napoleon hated to throw his hat on the ground, but finally stopped.

"Let's look at my cannon!" Napoleon suddenly put his hat straight, his spirit was shocked, he took a few steps forward with his head held high, and then suddenly turned back to Han Xing and said.
