Minister Lyueli, who left the Élysée Palace, smiled for the rest of his life, and this trip to the Élysée Palace was a torture for him, an old man in his sixties.

If he were to go through it a few more times, he would definitely submit his resignation to the president.

Returning to the Ministry of War, Lyueli did not forget about Jérôme. Bonaparte gave the task, and he quickly called the director of the personnel department and explained to him the task assigned by the president.

However, Lyuelli did not say that it was the task assigned by the president.

"Minister, you mean under 40? Still have combat experience in Algiers? The head of the personnel department asked Lyuelli again, and he did not understand what Lyuelli was trying to do, because of the lack of key information.

"That's right!" Lyueli nodded and responded, "Go ahead!" ”

"I'll go!" The Director saluted Minister Laulière and left.

Although he did not know what Minister Lyulier was going to do, as a close confidant promoted by Lyuli, obedience to the leadership had become his instinct.

Just as he was about to leave the minister's office, the director suddenly realized a problem, the minister didn't seem to give him a limit on the number, he quickly turned around and asked, "Minister, how many people do you need!" ”

The director's inquiry instantly made Lyueli realize that he didn't seem to ask how many people the president needed, and he could only vaguely say: "Let's go by 60-70 people!" ”

Lyuelli probably didn't realize that his vague response was just what Gérome was. Bonaparte needed manpower in the early days of his staff.

Returning to the Personnel Division, the Director quickly mobilized the various divisions of the Personnel Division in search of qualified officers.

After nearly two weeks of overtime work, the Personnel Division finally came up with a list.

The director handed the list to the Minister of War and said, "Minister, this is the list of members who meet your requirements!" ”

Looking at the dense French on the list, Lauelli nodded with satisfaction and said, "You can contact one by one according to the list!" ”

"Ahh

The director looked at Minister Liuelli in astonishment, the list was sixty-eight people.

[Of these, 20 are in the Ministry's subordinate departments, and the remaining 48 are from Algiers.] 】

Although they were all low-ranking officers, as far as he knew, the War Department seemed to have no place to accept them.

"Mr. Minister, I beg your pardon!" In order to keep his authority from being diluted, the director plucked up the courage to say to Lyueli: "The Ministry of War cannot arrange so many people!" If they rush into the War Department, I'm afraid it will cause the entire department to fall into bloat! ”

"Bloated?" Liuelli raised his head, his sharp eyes seemed to pierce the director's heart, he snorted coldly and said in an unkind tone: "Isn't the War Department bloated now?" ”

Don't look at Lyueli facing Jérôme. Bonaparte was at a loss, and it was all because of the condescending blows of the president's position.

In the face of a director with a lower rank than him, Lyuelli is not so easy to talk to.

"I ...... I mean...... We really don't need to bring in more people! The director of the department, who learned that he had offended the leader, could only bite the bullet and continue.

For the sake of themselves and the Ministry of War, they had to do this!

I'm doing this for the good of the minister!

The director silently carried out rationalization hypnosis on himself in his heart.

"Don't worry! Count Lendall, these people do not stay in the War Department! Lyue said in a slightly sarcastic tone to the greedy subordinate in front of him.

"Then they ......" Count Lendall asked subconsciously, and it suddenly occurred to him that a few days ago, the prince and president seemed to have set up a military secretariat [external announcement], and whether they would be transferred there.

Damn, I should have thought of it a long time ago!

The Count of Lendall, who was almost 50 years old, regretted that if he had reacted earlier, he would have put his son, who had just graduated last year, on the list, and he believed that the minister would not have exposed the news that his son was stationed in Nantes.

Now it's too late.

Count Lendall's chagrin was fully seen by Lyuelli, who couldn't help but despise his subordinates in his heart.

Regret to regret, the Earl of Lendall, who reacted to the gaffe, soon regained his meticulousness.

"Go get in touch! I'm going to a meeting! "After reading all the names on the list, Lyuelli handed over to the Count of Lendall and gave the order to expel the guest.

The unwilling Earl of Lendall could only choose to contact the members of the list behind his list and look at the names on the list.

The Count of Lendel has reason to believe.

If the president can win, everyone on the list will be prosperous.

Maybe I should go to the president?

A thought welled up in Lendle's mind, who, born into a traditional aristocracy, should have been one of the most opposed to Napoleon, and now he wanted to die for him.

Blame Napoleon! He messed up everything!

……

"Ahh

Jérôme sitting in the study of the Élysée Palace. Bonaparte did not know what was happening at the Ministry of War, and he was talking to Regnio, the commander of the upcoming expedition to Rome.

"General Reinio, I would like to congratulate you in advance on becoming the commander of the Roman Expeditionary Force!" Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled at the general in front of him, who was also bowed, and said in an exaggerated tone: "This is not an easy job!" ”

General Reinho, who had just been promoted from brigadier general to major general, looked at Jérôme with excitement. Bonaparte's eyes were full of gratitude, it was every general's dream to be able to take charge of an independent army to fight, and a man like him, who had just been promoted to major general, would not have been able to take this beautiful place without the help of someone.

"Your Majesty, I ...... I ......" Regino's agitated words were not good.

"General, you were expelled from the army because of the Bonaparte family! During the July Dynasty, I didn't get promoted for seven years because of my cousin. We should compensate you for it! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said in a sincere tone.

Jérôme, who learned from Colonel Dumur about Reinio's "connections" with the Bonaparte family, had even more reason to reuse the loyal general, and the war against Rome was his reward for the general.

"I will swear allegiance to Your Majesty and to the Bonaparte family!" General Regnio shouted to Jérôme. Bonaparte took the oath.

"General Regino, you won't regret your choice today! I'm sure you'll be able to become a marshal! "Jérôme. Bonaparte made a promise to Regino, and then changed the conversation and said: "I need you to use this opportunity to go to the army to find a group of people who support us, and I will use them to purge the War Department!" ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte believed that the army was never a peaceful group, and that there was never a shortage of careerists in the army, as long as they could convince those careerists that they could get what they wanted by following them, they would unite in front of him.

"Yes! Your Majesty! ”

Surprise greater than frightened, Regino decisively took over the bridge between Bonaparte and the army.

It is believed that it will not be long before a large number of Bonapartians will appear in the army that will go to Rome.
