readx;? Everything seemed to go as Brion had expected, and Brion's conversation with the royalist governor Calno did not last long, and only after Brion revealed himself as a Bourbon duke and offered a good price, Carno fell to Brion's camp with peace of mind, as if he had not even struggled at all.

To be honest, Brion really admires such a royalist in his heart, doing things for the republic, but he is bent on the benefits of the old master, which can really be described as the French version of being in Cao Ying's heart in Han.

Of course, this is mainly due to the fact that Brion's price is high enough, and the annual salary of 200,000 gold francs is nothing to Brion as a prince of a country plus a senior entrepreneur, but I am afraid that Karno will not be able to make so much money no matter how much he tosses in the position of the Governor. I'm afraid that no one will turn a blind eye to such a big piece of fat, and besides, he still does things for the Bourbon family, and Karno has no heart to refuse.

"Duke of Baden, you are our leader from now on!Please lead us to new glory!" In the end, Carno solemnly swore allegiance to Briand, it seems that it is not a day or two that Carno wants to restore the Bourbon era, and Brion's arrival this time makes him even more impatient. Brion could even see Karno's lips trembling a little with excitement.

It is true that people are different from each other, but those who have not lived through the era of kingship will not understand the allegiance and fanatical royalists of royal power, and Karno is clearly one of them. Of course, Brion also understands that Carno's allegiance may have been more or less faithful, but I am afraid that most of it is due to profit.

If one day Brion's political clique unfortunately went bankrupt, then Carno is not as loyal as he is now. If it's good, it's wise to protect yourself, and no matter how bad it is, you will even bite the owner back. That's why Brion never trusted so-called politicians.

Either way, Karno is the best helper for Briand at the moment. However, if Karno really understood Brion's thoughts, he would probably burst into tears, because the restoration of the Bourbon dynasty is not in Brion's plan at all, and he only has use value.

After a discordant conversation, Brion did not pause to meet with another royalist governor, Le Tourne, under the guidance of Carno, and this time because of Carno's joining, and the generous reward promised by Briand, Le Tourne joined Briand's camp without much thought, and also swore allegiance to Briand with the aim of restoration.

In fact, Brion naturally understood in his heart that Carno and Le Tourne were in the important position of overseer, and they could be said to be the new representatives of the current royalist faction in the republic. Brion received the temporary allegiance of the two, which also undoubtedly gave Brion the power and status to dominate the French royalists.

Although the Bourbon dynasty has been in decline for nearly four years, the royalists in the country are still resurgence and even increasing in power, even infiltrating the House of 500 in large numbers, such as the Directory Carno and Le Tourne. With no successor to Louis XVI, and his own brother, the Duke of Provence, in exile, he had already become a lost dog, and Brion naturally became the last hope for the restoration of the royalists, and it was only a matter of time before Brion won the allegiance of the royalists.

It is no exaggeration to say that on that day, Brion ascended to the Duchy of Baden or Lyon, and there were thousands of royalist supporters throughout France, which is indeed the domineering of the third in line to the throne of the kingdom.

In mid-April 1795, the election of the President of the First Directory of the First French Republic, led by the five Governors of Barras, Carno, and Sières, and under the chairmanship of the President of the House of 500 of the Republic, was officially announced. And this is the battlefield that represents the battle between the various factions and regimes.

As Barras was a representative of military power and had always been in a dominant position in the Directory to suppress the other four, the meeting began with a high-spirited and confident speech that appeared to be an inaugural address. The three governors, Karno, Sières, and Letourne, were unusually silent, and remained silent beside them. It's as if they were united at the beginning.

Of course, it was a good union, and if Barras knew the inside story, I am afraid that he would have vomited blood and died. In fact, after Carno reached an agreement with Le Tourne and Briand, Sières, who had always supported the republics and never crossed paths with royalists, became an alliance with the two because of Briand's ties. This means that, in addition to Siaiers' power in the House of 500, the royalist forces will also fully support Siaiers.

After nearly an hour of voting, the five legitimately nominated candidates for the presidency of the Republic stood in front of the podium, and it was clear that the results had already been made. And the chairman of the House of 500, who was biased towards the Barras faction, could not believe his eyes when he saw the results, and the result of such an election was completely unexpected.

"Gentlemen of the Republic, the first President of our Republic has been born. The president of the House of Five Hundred almost trembled and announced: "The Governor of Sières has officially assumed the post of President of the Directory of the First French Republic." ”

As soon as the results were announced, the parliamentarians sitting around Karno stood and applauded loudly, chanting the name of Siaiers in unison. However, what is a little strange is that these councilors seem to belong to the Karno faction, how can they 。。。。。

But no one paid any attention to this at this time, and it was Barras who suffered the biggest blow. What made him most difficult to accept was that in the next two years, he would be under the jurisdiction of Sières, a little man who had not been able to hold his head up in front of him. This failure is probably enough for him to reflect for a lifetime.

However, it was undoubtedly a crucial victory for Brion and Sières. Both men took what they wanted, with Sières getting the power he coveted, while Brion was given a solid political alliance and Sière's trust.

"Now is the time for me to deliver on my promise. Sières said to Brion with a smile after the election.

Two months after Sières became president of the government, it was suddenly announced that the former president of the House of Five Hundred would be removed and that Brion's aide Languedotte would take over as chairman of the House of Five. In fact, Brion's purpose has been understood, and the installation of Languedot in the position of chairman of the House of 500 is to better control the internal forces of the House of 500.

Brion still vividly remembers that Napoleon, when he was in power, placed his younger brother Lucien in the position of chairman of the House of 500, and it is clear that this choice was the right one. At the time of Napoleon's coup d'état, Lucien's position did give Napoleon a number of shortcuts.

However, as a result of this directive, there was a sensation throughout France. Naturally, people are not concerned about the content of this directive or its consequences. All that has been paid attention to is the appearance of Languedot, which in a sense means that Briand will change his seclusion and return to France. For a time, the gossip that Brion had set foot in the political circles again spread in France.

。。。。。。。

In Sière's mansion, Briand, Sières, Carno, Letourne, and the new president of the House of 500, Languedotte, were raising a glass to celebrate the first victory.

On this occasion, however, Brion and Sières are in a somewhat similar situation. First of all, although Languedot was the new president of the House of 500, he had always been a loyal follower of Brion, otherwise Brion would not have promoted him to such an important position in Siaiers. And Carno and Letourne, although they are not really loyal to Briand, they are undeniably part of Briand's disciples.

As for Briand's relationship with Sières, it was just an equal alliance deal. None of them belong to each other's subordinates, nor do they turn to each other's forces.

It's just that Siaiers is a little sad, and he hasn't seriously supported any forces in his role until now, so that this gathering that should have brought together the forces of both sides has directly turned into a celebration party exclusive to the Brion faction.

Thinking of this, Sières was just drinking to himself, and Brion only smiled and didn't say anything more when he saw him like this. On the contrary, Languedotte next to him chatted and laughed with Carno and Le Tourne, after all, Languedotte had previously served as a court official of the Bourbon dynasty, and he was Briand's right-hand man in politics, so he had a bit of a comrade taste with the royalists.

And Letourne drank a few more glasses, put down the wine glass, slammed the table, and shouted with a flushed face: "Now that Sières has become president, coupled with the strength of the Duke of Baden and the House of Five Hundred, we have no opponents in France!

As soon as these words came out, the other four were really startled, and Letourne seemed to know that he had said something wrong and suddenly became nervous. After all, the country is already a republic, and although it does not have the revolutionary horrors of the previous Jacobin rule, it is indeed a great rebellion to say such things at this time, let alone the powerful governors.

But Sières seemed to acquiesce, and did not say anything, and I am afraid that what Letourne said would be true in the eyes of all the French.

"I'm afraid we have another threat. Brion shook his glass, his eyes showing a rare ferocity.
