"General, General!"

Just after bidding farewell to Prince Ferdinand, Desai immediately left the venue to catch up with Brion, who had already left. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What's the matter?" Brion asked with a smile and looked back.

At this time he seemed to be in a good mood, first of all, because this meeting did indeed strengthen his friendship with Ferdinand, and at the same time secretly recovered the only lost territory of France and ensured the territorial integrity of France. This time, the action of the empty glove white wolf is absolutely unprecedented, and there is no one to come.

MacDonald, who controlled some of the newspapers, also assured Briand that he would contact other French newspapers to try to increase Briand's popularity in the country and gradually raise his image in the eyes of the people.

"General, have you been too ostentatious lately?"

"What do you mean?"

Desai carefully saluted: "There is an old Chinese saying that you are so openly contemptuous of the government, general, I am really worried about you." ”

"Worried about me?" Brion was stunned as soon as he sneered scornfully.

He recalled the "Biography of Napoleon" that he had read before, and after Napoleon became emperor and achieved meritorious deeds, wasn't he just acting as recklessly as he is now? Moreover, the current situation cannot be compared with Napoleon's time at all, and he is now only a small general of the Bourbon dynasty, a nobleman who has just achieved a little success, and his power has not reached the peak at all. To put it bluntly, if it came to the French Revolution, he would not even be able to protect his own life!

If he was a horse of the Bourbons, then the people who controlled the horse were Louis XVI and the great men of the state.

There's really no benefit to falling out with these backers so early.

At the same time, in the royal chamber in Paris, France, Louis XVI sat on the throne, and his ordinary ministers did not say a word, the most special thing was that Mopp, who sat in the first row, turned his pen and held a pamphlet in his hand.

Louis XVI looked around and was the first to break the deadlock: "Today is a good day for our Bourbons, at least we have now regained control of Paris and all of France! ”

As soon as the fat man's words came out, people still didn't make much movement, everyone look at me, I look at you, it seems that Louis XVI's words were not taken to heart at all.

However, Louis XVI did not care, scratched his head and continued: "The most important thing is that the peasant rebellion in France has been successfully quelled, and if it is not suppressed, then the royal government of the whole of Europe will be dealt an unprecedented blow. A few days ago, Tsar Katerine II sent a congratulatory letter like me. The empress has been exhausted by the peasant uprisings that have raged one after another, so the victory in France has boosted the morale of the Russian imperial family!"

"Really good, King. Maybe it's time for us to talk about something practical. Said an old gentleman with blond hair in third place.

This man was Louis XV and the Count of Morpa, who was in power during the reign of Louis XVI, and he followed Louis XV as a nobleman when he was young, and later became a court minister and secretary of state because of his intelligence, and was later appointed secretary of the navy to take charge of the kingdom's navy, even though the strength of this fleet was not even one-fifth that of England.

Because the Count of Morpa had many important positions, many important ministers had a lot of dealings with him, and Marshal Philip, who was in charge of the army, was also a good friend of his.

Count Molpa, who is now the Minister of Finance, took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth and said: "Because of these three months of continuous war, the French economy has been devastated, and the local government has lost a large number of officials due to the riots, which is really impossible to remediate. In addition, the city of Paris has been burned and looted by the rebels, and its economic capacity has regressed for more than ten years. And please let the king make it clear how we can remedy it?"

"This。。。。。 Louis XVI looked helplessly at the stern Count of Morpa, and then turned to look at his teacher, the Minister of Justice, Mopp.

"As for this issue, I think it should be a matter of the Ministry of Finance, and the king is not obliged to help you share it. After being stunned for a moment, Mopp suddenly spoke.

By this time, it was clear that the king had been overpowered by Count Morpa. Although Mopu looked down on this timid and cowardly king in his heart, as the king's chief minister, in charge of the country's justice and royal government, he had to fight for the king. Although this sentence was very embarrassing for him, he said it anyway.

"What do you mean?" Count Morpa turned his eyes to the wrinkled Mopp, "Is it true that His Majesty was not responsible for the Marais rebellion? ”

"Count Morpa, the priority now is not to take care of this mess. Mopp handed the pamphlet in his hand to Louis XVI.

"What is this?" asked Louis XVI.

Mopp nodded respectfully, "I think you've all learned about the young general who saved our Bourbons, Charles Brion Bourbon. Before the Baden War, he became famous in World War I and exiled the powerful Saxony. I think General Jurdang here has a first-hand experience of the talent of this young royal man. ”

As soon as Jourdan looked up, he met Mopp's eagle-sharp eyes, which seemed to have both blame and some compulsion.

"Uh... Yes, that's right... This.. He is a very good young man. Jurdang hesitated for a moment, and after understanding Mopp's intentions, he gave Mopp an intermittent answer, but it sounded perfunctory.

Mopp didn't say a word of nonsense, just glanced at Jurdang and returned to the original topic.

"This pamphlet is full of material that I have collected when I sent someone to follow the Duke of Baden, a young man who turned out to be a major general of the army, and after the Baden war, he became a retired soldier and should return to Lyon as a senator. But isn't it doubtful that he is miraculously commanding 60,000 troops now?"

Mopp's remarks were really very contradictory to what he had said before, how could Brion liberate the whole country without the support of two divisions?

"Honorable Minister of Justice. Field Marshal Philippe, who had been silent, spoke: "Do you think that a mere 2,000 guards can defeat a mob of tens of thousands? Have you forgotten how the 400 Guards resisted desperately when the rebels attacked Paris, and where you were at that time?"

This rhetorical question immediately blocked Mopp's mouth, and he clearly remembered that he had already prepared the carriage luggage before the rebels arrived.

"But what about Brion signing a contract with Prince Ferdinand of Prussia without authorization?" The corners of Mopp's mouth raised: "The signing of the contract must be approved by the king, could it be that General Brion, who put down the rebellion in front, never took the king in his eyes?"

Sure enough, he was a veteran of the political arena, and Marshal Philip secretly said in his heart that Mopp's words seemed to be plain, but they contained a killing move. If one verbal attack after another succeeds, Brion is likely to be ruined, and as his boss, he can't escape his involvement.

As for why Philip helped Brion speak, the reason is very simple, first, since Brion's Titan plan was implemented, the old marshal was very optimistic about this plan to gradually increase the strength of the army. And Brion, the creator of this plan, was naturally concerned and recognized by the old marshal.

Secondly and most crucially, Brion has gained prominence since the Baden War, mainly because he is a member of the royal family. Now the bureaucracy at all levels is corrupt and incompetent, and the royal family members are lazy, and this young nobleman is indeed a pillar of the road. Because Brion visited Philip, there was a rumor that "General Brion was born and Philip II was born." ”

In short, France urgently needed a generalist who was not only a descendant of the dynasty, but also a good soldier.

Marshal Philippe also secretly said to Briand: "You will be the future famous general of France, and now the political situation in France is chaotic, corrupt and incompetent, and everything needs to be taken care of by you." Afterwards, he sighed and uttered a shocking remark: "If you could have been born thirty years earlier, the throne of France would be yours." ”

Thinking of this, Marshal Philip turned his pen calmly: "I remember that the king once granted the Duke of Baden the post of commander-in-chief of counterinsurgency, since he is a military commander appointed by the king, he has the right to sign a contract with the enemy. β€œ

"But。。。。。 β€œ

Before Mopp could finish speaking, Philip continued: "General Brion did not disappoint us, at least we saved the territory along the Rhine. ”

He looked at Foreign Minister Tahlellan next to him: "By the way, you must not go to Prussia to negotiate on your own initiative, the last time the Saxony Treaty was clearly written in black and white, it was the best lesson." If there is any more trouble this time, we will lose not German territory but the interior of France. ”

On August 13th, Brion led his team south to Paris after taking care of his political affairs, where there was a founding ceremony waiting for him. However, just as he arrived, Marshal Philip preemptively stopped him and took him back to the residence.

"What's the matter? Brion politely followed in the marshal's footsteps.

"I said Brion, you're in big trouble right now. ”

Brion smiled, "What's in trouble with me?"

"There is an old Chinese saying that when a rabbit dies and a dog cooks, the bird hides the bow. Now you don't have a lot to do. Philip sighed and patted Brion on the shoulder.

"Rabbits and dogs are dead, and birds are gone。。。。。 Bow 。。。。。。 Brion muttered the old phrase he had remembered in his previous life with some alarm, and he now realized how dangerous his situation was.
