Section 3 Captain Earl

In this way, Brion and Napoleon studied at the luxurious Royal Military Academy in Paris for about a year, and their military literacy was also unprecedentedly improved. In this year, in order to keep up with Napoleon's progress, Brion desperately studied the biographies of ancient military strategists, and worked hard to complete this life that did not belong to him. Over time, he adapted to life here. And Napoleon had already studied at a military school, which was nothing more than a pedal to jump his life.

One day in 1785, the arrival of a royal carriage changed the lives of Brion and Napoleon.

As soon as several foreign royal officers entered the military academy, they walked into the principal's office with a high spirit, as if there was some important task, which also aroused the curiosity of many noble students in the military academy.

Of course, the old students who have been in school for three years are particularly familiar with it, after all, this is an unwritten unspoken rule of this military school for more than ten years. That is, the family is rich and powerful, as long as you spend a lot of money to contact the military department, you can ask the royal officer to take a student away on the pretext of recruiting the guard, and let him graduate early and enter the army. Moreover, the starting point of entering the army is much higher than that of other military cadets, and the military rank is at least a captain.

"You said whose son-in-law is going to graduate. "Whatever, our family doesn't have any money anyway. ”...... The foreign officer's move immediately attracted the discussion and attention of all the students, and even Napoleon and Briand came to join in the fun with disdain.

It is also very common for such recruitment techniques to appear at the Royal Military Academy, so the secret recruitment in previous years has not received the attention of military cadets. But this year is different, because the king perceives that he is in danger and examines corruption to the death, as well as the nobles**, so this year the embezzlers have not dared to take action. And this time the operation is the first to graduate with bribes this year, and it is clear that the government is hopeless.

After the lead officer chatted with the headmaster for a while, the officer walked out of the headmaster's office, but with a dozen more bills in his hand. It is estimated that he was afraid of what others would say, so he put the money in his pocket as soon as he came out.

"Noble dog!" Napoleon spat disdainfully.

Brion looked at Napoleon next to him and felt a little funny, his own capitalism actually completely occupied Napoleon's heart. This sixteen-year-old boy is so innocent, and it is no wonder that he is a twenty-year-old prospective college student, so of course it is convincing to talk to the young man.

The major officer who took the lead straightened the dark blue military uniform very gentlemanly, and then strode in front of the students, glanced around, took out a letter of appointment tied with a bow, and read it in style: "Now the royal family is in urgent need of military talents, and now considering the will of Count Mark, Brion is appointed as a captain officer of the French Rhine Legion, and Mr. Brion is invited to take up his post immediately!"

After reading the letter of appointment that he had spent a lot of money on, the major officer immediately respectfully rolled up the paper.

"You mean Count Mark's will?" Brion looked at the major in surprise, and looked back at Napoleon, who seemed to have been betrayed, and a sense of guilt felt in his heart.

I would have known that Brion would have understood his life experience and then crossed over! Well, Napoleon made a revolution, but it was his own life that was revolutionized!

The officer was also quite clever, and when he saw Brion, he quickly nodded and handed the letter of appointment to him, and then respectfully saluted: "Presumably you are the young master of the earl's family." The Count died of illness, and on his deathbed he instructed you to be given an official position! By the way, when you arrive at the Rhine Legion, go to the commander of the Rhine Legion, General Pisgru, who is your father's protΓ©gΓ© and will take care of you!"

"I don't see it, Brion!" Napoleon sneered, "so you're their kind!"

"Who are you!, dare to speak to the Count!" the officer immediately raised his palm, ready to whip this poor boy who did not know the height of the sky.

"Stop, he's my friend!" Brion quickly pushed the officer away, "Okay, it's okay, please hurry up." ”

The officer gave Napoleon a contemptuous look, then gave Brion a respectful military salute before turning away triumphantly.

After seeing the officers leave, everyone also departed, leaving only Napoleon and Brion where they were.

"Napoleon, you listen to me. ”

"Hmph!" the little Corsican man suddenly changed his attitude towards Brion, and he really looked like a stranger.

"Please believe me, I am in line with your wishes!"

"Why should I believe you, I'm just a Corsican freak, but you're a prince of the Bourbons. ”

Brion: This is called a repentance! This officer has to come at this time if he doesn't come early or late, and he has to dress a little more accurately when he crosses the troubles, so why should he pass it on to a nobleman's son? Isn't this a deliberate attempt to ruin my image? I have to spend a long time explaining this to this kid.

"Please really believe in me, believe in my friendship with you!" Brion sincerely took Napoleon's hand: "We are all fighting for capitalist democracy." If I were to shoot King Louis XVI now, I would kill him without mercy!"

Anyway, this poor king has to die sooner or later!

"Really?" Napoleon's exterior faltered.

In Napoleon's mind, Brion always regarded Brion as a friend, a brother, a teacher, and a guide on the path of politics. It can be said that Brion at this time gave him the confidence to reach the pinnacle of power in the future.

"Don't worry, I wouldn't have left if it weren't for this damn appointment. You believe that I will gain support in the army, and when the time comes, the two of us will unite and form a party of our own, and we will be invincible in the world!" Brion said, slowly letting go of his hands.

Napoleon suddenly felt a trace of the pain of parting, and gradually even his eyes turned red, this feeling is probably like the ancient Chinese literati when they were separated.

"Brion, let's work together!"

"Okay, it's a deal!" ......

Soon after, Napoleon relied on his strong memory to complete all the courses on his own, and in a shocking way, he passed the early completion exam and received the rank of second lieutenant. But the facts did not give Napoleon his wish, and the military department assigned him to the Valence corps. No way, this may be fate. Napoleon thought so and went to the legion station. Brion, on the other hand, got into the carriage early and came to the Rhine Legion station.

When Brion arrived at the station, he knew that the Rhine Legion really had the incomparably terrifying strength as in history.

There were countless well-made muskets in the army, and there were thousands of them that were basically equipped with all the soldiers. As for the bullets, they are even more numerous, and the entire ammunition depot has at least tens of thousands of boxes of bullets, which is estimated to be enough to equip the two front armies. Coupled with the hundreds of field guns outside the station, this firepower can be described as the most powerful in the French army. But after understanding, you will find that these cannons are only the tip of the iceberg, and there are actually thousands of field cannons in the warehouse.

As for the soldiers, food, and materials, there is definitely nothing to say, but in general, the French royal family is estimated to have regarded the Rhine Legion as a treasure in their hands.

When you get to the barracks, you can't mess around in it, and after watching it for a long time, Brion always thinks that the headquarters is there.

"Brother, where is General Pishglu's headquarters?"

A soldier with the rank of corporal happened to pass by, and Brion hurriedly grabbed him.

"You ......"

"The newly reported captain officer. ”

"Hello sir!" the corporal immediately saluted as soon as he heard Brion's rank: "The headquarters of the corps commander is in front, go straight ahead, and then turn right for three hundred meters." ”

"Thank you!" Brion nodded and walked towards the command post.
