Chapter 114: Reorganizing the General Staff?

Colonel Conrobert became Jérôme. The news of Bonaparte's adjutant was reported by the newspaper Bonaparte and soon spread throughout Paris.

In order to satisfy the gossip needs of the Parisian people, the next few issues of the Bonaparte newspaper focused on "digging deeper" into the life of Colonel Conrobert.

The people of Paris were surprised to find that there was such a "fierce general" in France. Rumors of Bonaparte's "discerning" knowledge of talent spread in Paris, and the adjutant Conrobert became the "star" of Paris. Bonaparte also became a veritable "little Napoleon".

This down-to-earth propaganda is again for Jérôme. Bonaparte grew some popularity and will Jérôme. Bonaparte's association with Emperor Napoleon made the citizens of Paris less receptive to change for a future coup.

After all, Parisian enthusiasm for revolution will gradually disappear with "revolution" and "failure" after "revolution".

Not to mention that the people of the current Seine have gradually become accustomed to the entry and exit of the army.

If there are fewer soldiers coming in and out, they may not be used to it.

Compared with the wild conjectures of the citizens of Paris, the officers who attended the banquet obviously understood "what happened" better.

In their eyes, Conrobel belonged to the first to "eat crabs".

The officer verbally criticized Conrobert, accusing him of groveling to curry favor with Jérôme. Bonaparte had come to gain the courtiers, and at the same time they did not envy Conrobert for such a good opportunity.

In Jérôme. Under Bonaparte's policy of buying horses' bones, more and more people moved closer to the Elysée Palace in the hope of gaining power.

A warm breeze blew away the cold snaps of January and February, and at the same time blew away the tensions in Paris.

Although the vernal equinox has passed, the weather in Paris is still a little cool.

The citizens of Paris have taken off their cotton clothes one after another, and at the same time, they have added a layer of coats to the inner lining.

Jérôme. Bonaparte was no exception, taking off his slightly bloated coat, he changed into a black flac corset, with brown-and-red Kirai trousers and black leather shoes, looking like a bourgeois gentleman.

At this time, he was sitting in the study of the Elysée Palace, with a burly figure, but slightly bowed, Colonel Conrobert, wearing a blue National Guard uniform, standing in Jérôme. Beside Bonaparte, and sitting across from him was Laueri, the French Minister of War.

Jérôme. Bonaparte introduced Lyuelli to Conrobert beside him and said, "Minister Lyuelli, this is my adjutant, Colonel Conrobert!" ”

Hear Jérôme. Bonaparte introduced himself to Conrobert's waist even more straight.

"Not bad! Like a battle-hardened soldier! Lyueli nodded with satisfaction, extended an olive branch to Conrobel and said, "How is it?" Are you interested in coming and sitting in our War Department! ”

Conrobert did not answer Minister Liueli, who understood that he had been able to receive an olive branch from the Minister of War.

It all comes down to Jérôme. For President Bonaparte's sake, the gap between a colonel and the Minister of War is the difference between an ordinary man and a multimillionaire, and it is impossible for an ordinary colonel to meet the Minister of War several times unless he is summoned by the Ministry of War.

As for determining whether a person is excellent by standing up, it is even more of a polite remark from Liuelli.

If standing straight can gain the proximity of the Minister of War, Conrobert believes that there must be many people who are willing to train day and night to get close to the Minister of War.

By the time the training is completed one day, the Minister of War will probably have been transferred long ago.

Conrobel's silence put the scene in an awkward position.

Seeing that the atmosphere was gradually becoming anxious. Bonaparte hurriedly said, "I can't ask for it! Minister Liueli, I remember that your War Department still lacks a state secretary, right? ”

"We ......" Lyueli, who was just about to say that there was no shortage, instantly changed his words, he nodded and said, "Yes! The Ministry of War now lacks a responsible and daring secretary of state! ”

Lyuelli looked at Conrobel again and said, "We need someone like Conrobel!" ”

"Conrobel!" Jérôme. Bonaparte spoke.

Conrobel, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke again: "Yes! Your Majesty! ”

"I don't know if you're interested in being the secretary of state at the Ministry of War! It's also a workout for you. ”

Since Laueri gave Jérôme . Bonaparte had an opportunity to meddle in the Ministry of War, then Jérôme. Bonaparte would be sorry for Laueri's "painstaking efforts" if he did not intervene, Jérôme. Bonaparte tactfully conveyed to Conrobert that he wanted to take control of the War Ministry.

Conrobel, a veteran of the army who has been mixing oil for more than a decade, apparently also understands Jérôme. Bonaparte's meaning, he immediately said: "I am willing to obey the orders of His Excellency the President and Mr. Minister and go to the Ministry of War for training!" ”

"The War Department welcomes servicemen like you who make a difference!" Lyueli smiled and said to Conrobel.

He then turned his attention to Jérôme. Bonaparte felt sorry for himself: "I've had enough of the soldiers in the War Department, who are more politicians than soldiers." ”

"Rest easy, Mr. Minister!" Jérôme. Bonaparte pressed his right hand and said: "The operation of the army is inseparable from the bureaucracy, and of course it is inseparable from those fighters who really dare to fight!" An army without bureaucratic planning and logistics will only fall into chaos before the arrival of war, and an army without a military spirit will not be able to win a war. We must learn to combine the two, not only to enable them to effectively organize logistics, but also to enable them to have combat effectiveness! ”

"Your Excellency, this is so hard!" Lyueli complained, and then changed his words and praised: "Only the emperor and those marshals who follow the emperor can take into account the characteristics of both!" ”

"Mr. Minister, since there are still some gaps between our specific marshals, why don't we use an effective system to make up for the wisdom of individuals." Jérôme. Bonaparte crossed his hands on the table, "Sometimes, a mature system is more important than a single genius general!" After all, a genius general is something that cannot be found, but a mature system can run smoothly. ”

"Your Excellency, what should I do?" Minister Lyuelli assumed a posture of no intention of studying.

"The War Department should plan its powers and responsibilities, and part of it should do politically related work or military-related work. Political personnel must not be allowed to interfere in military work, otherwise there will be the behavior of laymen guiding insiders, and the same is true for political work. ”
