Chapter 115: Take a step back

"Mr. President, I think such a reform plan is too ...... Too ......"

Minister Lulier hesitated for a long time, and his expression was as if he was constipated.

Before coming to visit the president, he had already planned to arrange a position for the president "minister" next to him, but he could not have imagined that the president not only wanted to stuff Conrobell into the War Department as secretary of state, but also wanted to give the War Department a "surgery".

Where is this separation of rights and responsibilities! Isn't it clear that he wants to weaken his power! Isn't this bullying honest people!

Lyuelli couldn't help but regret why he had gone to the War Department to muddy the waters in the first place.

At this time, Lauelli had completely forgotten about the original Odillon. When Barrow invited him, he was so excited, he wanted to lick Odillon. Barrow's eyes.

Now that the War Department may become a battlefield of political struggle, he can't help but retreat.

"But what? What difficulties can be raised! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Lyuelli with a warm expression.

"I think ......" Lyueli hesitated for a moment, then reorganized the language and said euphemistically: "I think the policy of separation of powers and responsibilities mentioned by His Excellency the President is a feasible plan, but as far as the current plan is concerned, it is very likely that a hasty change of the existing army system will complete some unexpected troubles, so I think it is better to go step by step!" ”

Laueli's standard bureaucratic tone, combined with his trembling expression, made Jérôme . Bonaparte was even more convinced that the guy in front of him was a person who could be "bullied".

Jérôme. Bonaparte replied with a nod from the donkey: "I know that any military reform will be accompanied by great risks!" ”

Before Lyaulie could breathe a sigh of relief, the president's next sentence almost made him breathless.

"But I am confident that no matter whether it is a mine array or an abyss in front of me, I will move forward bravely, without hesitation, and do my best!" Jérôme. With Bonaparte's determined eyes and righteous awe-inspiring appearance, it is hard not to believe that the president is going to make a major change of blood for the Ministry of War.

In France, as long as the rulers want to accomplish something, no force can stop them.

Memories of the Great Purge were once again awakened in Liuelli's mind.

[In 1830, the Orleans dynasty was established, and many generals and high-ranking officials loyal to Bourbon were directly deposed because they were unwilling to be loyal to the Orleans dynasty, and the generals who were lucky enough to stay were also in fear. 】

"Your Excellency, I don't think you need to break your bones!" Minister Lyuelli hastened to dissuade Jérôme. Bonaparte, he didn't want to be the first victim of the president.

"Huh?" Jérôme. Bonaparte looked at Lyueli suspiciously, with an expression as if to say, "You thick-eyed man wants to betray me": "Minister Lyuelli, I think that the Ministry of War is not broken, and we should carry out drastic reforms!" Didn't you just say that the Ministry of War has a group of corpse vegetarian people? ”

I'm here to cater to you!

Lyuelli's heart is even more frenzied, he really doesn't want to toss when he is over sixty, he just wants to be in peace in the Ministry of War and the mud.

"Mr. President, I think the War Department needs to be reformed, but not radically! My suggestion is that we start with a pilot in the War Department! "I don't want to offend Jérôme. Bonaparte's Lyuelli decided to make peace with the mud again, and he asked Jérôme. Bonaparte made a suggestion.

"Pilot? You mean? "Jérôme. Bonaparte understood that Laueri's window had been breached by him.

As Brother Xun said, the Chinese always like to reconcile and compromise, for example, you said, this room is too dark, you must open a window here, everyone must not allow it. But if you advocate tearing down the roof, they will reconcile and be willing to open the windows.

This applies not only to China, but also to French politicians.

For them, political compromise is already commonplace.

"Your Excellency the President, in the name of the President, may set up a military staff in the Elysée Palace, and then dock it with the Ministry of War! In this way, it will be possible to reduce some of the conflicts caused by drastic reforms! "Lyueli vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte suggested.

Although Laueri understood that his methods were also conflicting, they were clearly much milder than the War Department purge.

In order to show the president that this was his last bottom line, Lyueli said firmly: "If you really insist on radical reforms, please allow me to resign from the post of Minister of War!" ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte pondered for a moment, then got up and turned his back to Lyuelli.

Lyuelli looked at Jérôme with trepidation. Bonaparte, he was waiting for Jérôme. Bonaparte end result.

This result will directly determine whether he will stay or not, and he doesn't want to be a thorn in the side of his colleagues and a helper of the Great Purge.

After a while, Jérôme. Bonaparte turned and sat back in his place.

Jérôme. Bonaparte did not respond immediately to Lyuelli, who, in his opinion, had already explained his attitude with the president's serious face.

Lyulie's mood is a little complicated, he has only been sitting for three months and is about to lose his position in a blink of an eye, and he is a little unwilling to think about it.

"Your Excellency President, allow me to ......" Lyueli tried to say the word "resignation," but found that these two words were very important to him.

Jérôme. Bonaparte did not wait for Lyueli to finish speaking, but smiled and nodded, saying, "I agree!" ”

"Ahh Lyueli, who was on a rollercoaster ride, almost carried his back, and he finally escaped.

"Thank you for your understanding!" Lyueli sincerely addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte expressed his gratitude.

Now he doesn't know that Jérôme. Bonaparte's purpose was not to purge the army from within in the first place.

"Mr. Minister, I hope you can recommend a group of capable officers to come, and I will set up a military staff directly under the president!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Lyuelle.

Lyuelli, who thought he had escaped a crisis, of course, also "reciprocated" and agreed with Jérôme. Bonaparte's request, anyway, there are many people who graduate from the Saint-Cyr Military Academy and the Paris Engineering School every year, and a large number of reserve officers can be pulled out casually.

In France in peacetime, not every student who graduated from a military academy was able to enjoy the treatment of an officer, and most soldiers who wanted to fight would go to Algiers.

"By the way, it's better to be under 40 years old! Preferably in Algiers with combat experience! "Jérôme. Again, I added.

The older people are, the less likely they are to accept new things, and instead of arguing with them about whether the staff should be reformed, and not training more officers like Conrobert who are willing to change.

Soldiers with combat experience are also in demand.
