Hey, have you heard? That thing."

"Of course, keep your voice quiet, I've heard that General Nathan is upset about this."

"I really didn't expect General Poly to step down voluntarily."

......

While the officers in the banquet hall were discussing the dispatch of troops, the soldiers of the Northern Legion were also frantically spreading the news they had just received.

However, for these ordinary soldiers, their information channels are limited, and the versions they have learned are probably as follows:

"The patrol captain Haledt aroused the anger of the people, Lawrence Bonaparte took the initiative to defend the governor's palace, the governor of Poly resigned, the council urgently appointed Lawrence as the new governor, the British sailors suddenly launched a massacre, and the new governor Lawrence led his troops to defend Ajaccio."

Even in the eyes of many soldiers, they saw it as just a normal change of power.

Lawrence, a well-known Wehrmacht lieutenant colonel, was also regarded by the soldiers as a member of the military and embraced him as the new governor.

"Hey, Jack, what are you looking at, why don't you speak?"

Just as the soldiers of a certain company were gathering to talk about Lawrence and Pauly's past, someone noticed that a soldier in the corner was staring at a piece of paper in distraction, out of step with the soldiers who were talking.

Jack in the corner was stunned for a long time after hearing the greeting from others, and then he crumpled the letter paper in his hand and threw it out, lowered his head and whispered:

"My mother... Killed by the British in Ajaccio ... My father was also severely injured and had only one breath left... I..."

Jack muttered in distraction, crouched on the ground with his head between his legs, and sobbed unacceptably quietly.

"Oh my God..."

"Jack, they'll be watching you from heaven."

"What brutes those Britons are!"

"Alas, but fortunately, Governor Bonaparte has sanctioned the British elders, and I heard that the British old officers were slowly burned to death, and the ground was full of human grease in the end, damn, it's really relieving."

With tears in the corners of his eyes, Jack silently listened to everyone's comfort, then nodded and whispered:

"Hmm... If it weren't for Lord Bonaparte, I would have no way to take those brutes in my life... If I had the chance, I would like to thank Monsieur Bonaparte personally."

"There will be." The soldiers also hurriedly surrounded Jack and patted Jack on the shoulder to comfort him.

At this moment, the company commander of the soldiers rushed back from the banquet hall, he walked into the barracks with a shiny face, looked at the soldiers gathered together, frowned and scolded:

"Hey! Why are you so noisy! Listen to me, everybody immediately start packing up their belongings, and we're marching tomorrow."

"March? Company commander, where are we going?" After listening to this inexplicable order, the soldiers couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

The company commander didn't care about buttoning the shredded flesh between his teeth, thinking that he was going to leave tomorrow anyway, so he said directly:

"To crusade against Lawrence Bonaparte, the usurper, of course."

"What?!"

The soldiers couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when they heard this, looked at each other for a while, and then said one after another:

"But Lord Bonaparte is a governor appointed by the council!"

"Aren't we doing this... Rebellion?!"

"That's right, and we're out of here, who's going to defend against the Genoese from the north?"

"God, I've fought the Genoese all my life, are you going to let me shoot my fellow Corsicans now?"

......

Listening to the chatter of the soldiers, the company commander finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted:

"Shut up! This is General Nathan's order, and you just have to carry it out! The whole army will set off early tomorrow morning, and those who delay the fighter plane will be dealt with directly according to military regulations!"

With that, the company commander glared at the soldiers viciously, and then left the barracks without looking back.

The soldiers watched the company commander's back slowly disappear in a daze, exchanged glances with each other, and whispered to each other:

"How so, General Nathan, what does he think!"

"Actually... I have the feeling that General Nathan is trying to usurp the throne."

"That's right, Lord Bonaparte was originally a close confidant of General Pauly, how could he usurp the throne, sooner or later the position of governor will be his."

"Well, this is an order after all, anyway, let's pack up and go."

......

When the company commanders and battalion commanders informed their men of the plan to attack Ajaccio, such conversations took place everywhere in the Northern Corps.

Although General Nathan also learned from his subordinates what the soldiers thought of his actions, he didn't care.

"Hmph, let those people talk about it if they want to, anyway, my two thousand people have the advantage over Lawrence's one thousand people, and I have the advantage. When I become the new governor, they will shut up."

General Nathan only replied so carelessly after receiving the report of the army's unsteady, and then continued to fantasize about what it would be like for everyone to bow down when he entered the Governor's Palace.

And at the same time, inside the Doge's palace in Ajaccio.

"You've all read this letter."

Lawrence picked up a piece of letter paper on his desk and asked the group in front of him.

At this moment, all of Lawrence's cronies were gathered in the study, the old Sean, Yaan, and Grosso of the patrol, Major Trefali and Lieutenant Seth in the army, Lawrence's brother Carlo Bonaparte, and Anna, who had just been appointed secretary by Lawrence.

These people are also one of the few people who know Lawrence's complete plan.

They all looked at the letter in Lawrence's hand with solemn faces at this time, and nodded in unison to indicate that they had read it.

"As you can see, it was sent by the Duke of Choiseul of France."

Lawrence put the letter aside, held his chin and said in a deep voice:

"We are well on our way to seize power in Corsica, so the next step is to pacify the whole of Corsica."

Everyone nodded in understanding, they also knew that the only unstable factor on Corsica now was the Northern Army, which controlled most of the army, and its commander, General Nathan.

Lawrence continues:

"On the 1st of April, I wrote to the Duke of Choiseul in the name of the Corsican government, asking him to begin the fulfillment of my contract with him."

In the contract between Lawrence and the Duke of Choiseul, when Lawrence seized power in Corsica, the Duke of Choisell would send troops at the invitation of the Corsican government, one army pressed Genoa to force Genoa to withdraw from Corsica, and the other army was stationed in Corsica to help Lawrence pacify the island.

"But in reply, the Duke of Choisell estimated that the earliest arrival of the French army in Corsica would be a week later."

Lawrence's face was also extremely solemn, and he looked around at everyone and said:

"And General Nathan should be able to hear about Ajaccio today, that is—"

Major Trefali frowned and continued:

"From what I know of General Nathan, he's certainly not going to be indecisive about this news, and if I'm not mistaken, it's likely that the Northern Army is going to be on the move now. And the French army will definitely not be able to catch up, which means that we will have to fight the Northern Army alone."

The atmosphere in the study room became more solemn, this was not only a civil war related to the fate of everyone present, but also a battle with a huge disparity in power.

"How about we quit Ajaccio on our own initiative?"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Major Trefalli took the initiative to propose:

"There is a lot of room for strategic manoeuvre in the south of Corsica, as long as we preserve our strength, avoid fighting, and drag the French army in."

Lieutenant Seth nodded, and added thoughtfully:

"That's right, the strategic depth of the southern region is enough for us to pull with the Northern Army."

"This... I'm afraid not."

Carlo Bonaparte shook his head with some hesitation and said:

"Ajaccio, and especially the Doge's Palace, is an important source of legitimacy for the status of Governor Lawrence. Once we have ceded Ajaccio, it will be very difficult, at least in law and public opinion, to prevent General Nathan from proclaiming him the new governor."

Grosso also agreed with Carlo's point of view, sighed and said:

"And this place in Corsica is a little richer than Ajaccio, if you give it to that... General Nathan, he has captured thousands of strong men in Ajaccio, and the gap between us and his strength will only widen."

Even Anna, who was hiding behind Lawrence, said carefully:

"Also, the people of Ajaccio have finally settled down... If it is occupied by that general, I think the people will be very sad..."

Major Trefarli couldn't help but smack his lips and said:

"But if we fight head-on with the Northern Legion, not to mention my resistance to the civil war as a soldier, what are our chances of winning even if we fight?"

......

After another argument, they did not reach a unified result, so they had to focus on Lawrence, who was silently listening.

Everyone knows that in the entire Ajaccio, he is the only one who can decide everything.
