Chapter 118: The Three Heroes of the Empire
Compared with Thiers, who has "historical limitations", Jérôme, who has a "God's perspective". Bonaparte was clearly on the right path.
Since the Party of Order crushed him in terms of political capital in the National Assembly, why should he be confined to the framework of the National Assembly, and it is Jérôme who jumps out and crushes the framework of the National Assembly. Bonaparte's best option.
On 20 May, after nearly two months of preparatory work, the Office of the Military Secretariat (General Staff), which is directly subordinate to the President, was formally established.
In order to show the importance that the President attaches to the Secretariat, Jérôme. Bonaparte deliberately ordered Pescini to choose a suitable location near the Élysée Palace to serve as the office of the President's Military Secretariat.
Pessini ran around all the mansions near the Élysée Palace and finally found a suitable place to live.
After many inquiries, it was learned that the original owner of the palace was Louis Murphy, who was in exile in London. Philip.
Jérôme, who wanted to take the palace into the state. Bonaparte, taking into account the proportions of the Orleans faction in the Party of Order, abandoned this idea.
Turned to Odilon. Barrow discussed using the uninhabited palace as the office of the President's Military Secretariat.
Odilon. Barrow immediately agreed to Jérôme. Bonaparte's idea. In his opinion, Jean Jérôme. Bonaparte fiddling with his "little toys" was much less harmful than if he had nothing to do and meddled in politics.
After some talking, Odilon. Barrow euphemistically offered to give a message to Louie, who lived in London. Philip appropriated the idea of reluctance for Louis. Philip appropriated Jérôme. Bonaparte had no choice but to talk about him left and right.
On May 23, all the soldiers who had been elected to the military secretariat of the president arrived early in the newly established office to wait for President Jérôme. The arrival of Bonaparte.
At 9 a.m., an open-top gilt bridge-style carriage stopped downstairs in the military secretariat hall.
Looking at the eye-catching golden bee emblem on the carriage, the officer in charge of guarding the gate of the secretary hall hurriedly trotted in.
Not long after, three lieutenant colonel officers appeared at the door, and they greeted them in a panicked trot: "Mr. President! ”
Jérôme. Bonaparte bowed his head one by one and called out their names and ranks: "Edmond. Lieutenant Colonel Leboeuf, François. Ahir. Lieutenant Colonel Bazin, Louis. Jur. Lieutenant Colonel Trogchu! ”
The three lieutenant colonels whose names were called all showed excited expressions, they did not expect their names to be remembered by the president. The importance that Bonaparte attached to the Secretariat Office.
If their ideas can make Jérôme. Bonaparte knew the words of Jérôme. Bonaparte will definitely complain in his heart, the great names of the three of you are also thunderous in the textbooks of later generations.
Edmund. Leboeuf, the future marshal of the French Empire, succeeded the dead Nière as Minister of War and the last Minister of War of the Second Empire, and followed his cousin into the cage that Bismarck had prepared for them during the Franco-Prussian War.
Francois. Ahir. Bazin, the future marshal of the French Empire, "commanded" the French war in Mexico, was besieged by Moltke the Elder in Metz during the Franco-Prussian War, and 170,000 troops surrendered bloodlessly, and France lost its last field army.
Trochu served as governor of Paris and commander of the National Garrison during the Franco-Prussian War, and later became president of the government of national defense after the Second Empire was overthrown, and later negotiated the surrender of France with Thiers and others.
If Moltke Sr., Ron, and Bismarck are called the three heroes of the German Empire, Leboeuf, Bazin, and Trochu can be called the three heroes of imperial destruction.
When Jérôme. When Bonaparte first got the list, he almost wondered if it was a hint from God.
Everyone else is a Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chick, and he can have one more than a Wolong and Phoenix Chick.
Of course, spit and spit out, Jérôme. Bonaparte still had some understanding of the Franco-Prussian War, and the problems of the Second Reich in the Franco-Prussian War were not all mistakes in military command, but deeper problems of institutions and institutions.
The 400,000 French army has to fight with the 1 million Prussian army (standing force + 2 reserves), even if the French army has three heads and six arms, it is impossible to win,
So in Lyuelli handed over the officer's information to Jérôme. Bonaparte, Jérôme. Bonaparte did not reject them, he believed in human agency and was willing to give them the opportunity to learn.
"Hello, Mr. President!" The eldest of the three lieutenant colonels, Leboeuf, played against Jérôme. Bonaparte shouted respectfully.
Seeing this, Bazin and Trochu also complained to Jérôme. Bonaparte showed the respect he deserved.
Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled and held out his hand to shake hands with them.
Under the leadership of Leboeuf and others, Jérôme. Bonaparte came to a hall large enough to accommodate 200 people.
All the members of the secretariat hall lined up in a phalanx and stared solemnly at the front.
Jérôme, who met them for the first time. Bonaparte shook hands one by one and asked for their names and ages.
Jérôme who asked everyone carefully. Bonaparte until now had complete information about the officers.
In general, this is a group of young Zhuang faction, except for a small number of 40-year-old officers, most of the officers are generally around 20-30 years old, most of them are lieutenants and colonel-level officers who have just left the military academy and entered Algiers. Bonaparte needed this sharpness to become a military commander.
"Sit down!"
In Jérôme. On Bonaparte's orders, the officers sat down in order of rank.
Leboeuf and Bazin sat in Jérôme. Both sides of Bonaparte.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think you should have a lot of doubts in your minds!" Jérôme. Bonaparte glanced at all the officers present, and in their eyes he saw confusion, apprehension, and an ambition that could never burn.
That's what I'm looking for! Ambition can drive them to serve me and crush all enemies in the name of the country!
Jérôme. A smile appeared on the corner of Bonaparte's mouth, and he said in a calm tone: "You want to ask what the secretary's hall is?" What exactly are their functions! In even more blatant terms, what good can he bring us! ”
None of the people present spoke, but their eyes had spoken for them.
"If I told you that the Military Secretariat of the President is an auxiliary body, would you be happy to continue working?" Jérôme. Bonaparte said, turning his hand to the table.
"Of course!" Lieutenant Colonel Bazin was the first to pay homage to Jérôme. Bonaparte said faithfully: "Since Mr. President has transferred us from Algiers, we are ready!" ”
"That's right!"
"Yes!"
Many echoed Lieutenant Colonel Bazin's.
Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded in satisfaction, no matter what time it is, patting a sycophant is always not disgusting, provided that the sycophant has to line up.
"There's something special about your organization!" Jérôme. Bonaparte looked at everyone present with a fierce gaze: "What is special about it is that your every move is related to the survival of tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands. ”
