General Regnio looked happily at all the officers present and was courteous to him, and to the President behind him, to be exact.

In the French army, the desire to gain the allegiance of others is nothing more than fame and fortune.

Himself had already led them to gain enough in the Roman campaign.

In order to protect the vested interests of the army, General Regnio was complained by the bishops under Pope Pius IX.

This army can be said to have pocketed one-third of the wealth of the city of Rome, and everyone in the expeditionary force owed General Regnio a favor, so General Regnio was unanimously supported by all the members of the expeditionary force.

Now, General Regnio is using the Ministry of War to attract them, how can this group of Qiu Ba be even more loyal to the president.

Not to mention them, even Brigadier General Niel, who has no obvious partisanship on weekdays, is also a little moved.

The chaotic scene gradually stopped in the silence of General Regino, and everyone focused on General Regino's body.

"Trouble! Then make trouble! Why don't you make a fuss! General Regnio pointed at all the officers present in a mocking tone and scolded with a smile: "Look at your current appearance, it's like a group of bandits gathered together to share the spoils!" And is there not a bit of a military look! ”

Less than the officers showed a smile of shame, and more of them cultivated a thick skin.

After "reprimanding" the group of Qiu Ba, General Regnio then reassured: "Don't worry! Can Your Excellency the President forget your credits? Didn't the letter say that you will be rewarded as you deserve! ”

"Long live the President, long live the Empire!"

Edgar. Ney shouted loudly, and all the officers present followed Edgar. Ney shouted together.

After that, several officers took advantage of the situation and shouted, "We don't know anyone but the president!" slogan.

For a time, the entire conference hall was filled with the atmosphere of "loyalty".

"That's it!! Your loyal president has already understood, and there is no need to continue shouting slogans over and over again! General Regnio raised his hand in a low-pitched gesture and continued: "I will leave for Paris tomorrow!" ”

Except Edgar. Everyone outside of Ney expressed surprise at General Regnio's sudden departure.

Brigadier General Niel hesitated for a moment, then spoke: "Commander, if you leave rashly without an order from the Ministry of War, I am afraid that it will be ......."

Neielle suddenly realized that General Regnio was going to take over the position of Minister of War, and he did not necessarily need to be transferred by the Ministry of War.

As long as the president opens the back door for him, he can make up a formality afterwards.

"Don't worry!" General Regnio said nonchalantly: "Those guys from the War Department can't help me!" ”

"Then General, during your absence. What to do with the expeditionary force? Brigadier Neel then asked General Leo.

"Brigadier General Niel!" General Regnio said to Niel with a serious expression.

"Yes!" Brigadier General Niel instantly got up and waited for General Regnio's next order.

"In my absence, you will serve as the acting commander of the Roman Expeditionary Force!" General Regnio gave the order to Brigadier General Niel, and then turned to all the officers present: "During my absence, you must keep it strictly secret from the outside world!" Don't let the outside world know that I've left the army! Although I am not afraid of the impeachment of those soft eggs in the War Department, I also do not want to trouble the president at this juncture! Got it? ”

"Got it!" The officers responded to General Regnio in a flash.

"Don't worry! It won't be long before you'll be able to get out of Rome and return to Paris! When the time comes, you will all be the pillars of the War Department! By the way, I heard that His Excellency the President also has a military secretary's office, and maybe you might be assigned there! ”

Due to the gradual regularization of the Papal States, the French army of nearly 20,000 people has become a burden on the entire Papal States, so under the "consultation" between Pius IX and the French ambassador to the Papal States, the French army retained a team of nearly 3,000 people to defend the safety of Rome and the Pope near Rome, and the remaining troops will be withdrawn to Paris after October, so General Regnio drew a big pie that can be seen and touched to everyone present, but they need to wait for some time.

The officers were once again in General Regnio with Edgar. In Ney's presence, he shouted for loyalty to the president.

The meeting ended at 11 p.m., and Brigadier Niel was once again deliberately left behind by Regnio.

"General Regnio!" Niel still adheres to the style of a soldier, and is neither humble nor arrogant to General Regino.

"Not bad!" General Regnio nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's like a real general, and it is not in vain that Your Majesty mentioned you in your letter!" ”

Brigadier General Niel was stunned for a moment, and when he reacted, he instantly understood that "Your Majesty" was referring to Jérôme of the Élysée Palace. Bonaparte, who was amazed that his fame could reach the ears of the president.

"Thank you, General!" Brigadier General Niel believes that it is because of the general's recommendation that he can appear in the president's perspective.

"It's not me!" Regino shook his head and replied to Niel, he also didn't understand why the president deliberately named Brigadier Niel, was it just because he was the biggest officer in the expeditionary force besides himself?

General Regnio and Brigadier General Niel probably don't know if they break their heads, because their president has seen the entire magnificent chapter of the Second Empire, in which Niel and his "Nielfa" occupy an important part of the whole chapter.

It's a pity that "Nielfa" took shape too late.

If the "Nierfa" had appeared earlier, France could have used Nielfa to expand its army of 500,000 and 300,000 reserves, which is equivalent to more than 800,000 troops.

As long as Prussia showed its decline, Austria-Hungary would never mind stabbing Prussia when it resisted Germany, and then staged the drama of "the return of Austria".

"Your Majesty means that you want you to be the head of engineering in the War Department, managing the logistics of the army! I don't know, what do you think? General Regnio asked General Niel in a consultative tone.

"I obey His Majesty's orders!" Brigadier General Niel immediately showed the idea of moving closer to the president.

"Hmmm! As soon as I become Minister of War, I will immediately proceed to transfer you to the Ministry of War! General Regnio assured Brigadier General Niel.

……

Early the next morning, when it was still light.

General Regino, dressed in civilian clothes, hurried out of Rome unnoticed, arriving at the port of Civitavecchia at about 10 noon.

After an overnight journey to the port of Marseille, General Regnio hired a horse-drawn carriage to go to Lyon.

Finally arrived in Lyon from the port of Marseille in the evening.

Regnio was somewhat surprised by the depressed scene in Lyon, and only learned about it from the innkeeper after he found a hotel to spend the night.

There was a cholera outbreak in Lyon half a month ago, and cholera caused the "red" infestation to lose part of the population of Lyon, and Lyon was once again plagued by disease.

The inexplicable cholera lasted for two weeks before it was brought under control with the concerted efforts of Lyonnais physicians.

"Alas! I heard that a marshal died in the barracks! Life in Lyon is getting harder and harder! The innkeeper sighed.

Marshal?

General Renio remembered that the Italian Front was stationed in Lyon, and the head of the Italian Front seemed to be Marshal Bijo.

Thinking of this, General Regnio couldn't help but feel sorry for the death of Marshal Bira.

After a night of repairs, General Regnio set off again for Paris by train.

When the train entered Paris that night, General Regino, who did not want to be exposed too early, had to change his face to live in the mixed Saint-Germain district, and at the same time wrote a letter to Eugène. Rué Mansion.

Eugène who received the letter. Rue immediately went to the Élysée Palace to report the news of General Renho to Jérôme. Bonaparte listened.

"Huh? Is General Regnio back? Where are you now? "Jérôme who heard the news of Reinho. Bonaparte immediately got up and asked Eugène. Ruet.

Eugène. Rue gave the letter to Jérôme. Bonaparte, Jérôme after reading the letter. Bonaparte charged Eugène. Rue nodded, and then ordered the dragoons to summon the adjutant Conrobert, who was still working in the military secretariat.

Dragoons received Jérôme. Bonaparte's order, quickly rode to the military secretariat, and conveyed the president's order to Conrobert.

Negotiations were being made with Leboeuf and others on the preparation of a military and topographical map of the Near East, so Conrobert could only put down his work and go to the Élysée Palace.

"Your Majesty, may I ask you for any new instructions!" Conrobel stands straight in Jérôme. Bonaparte asked.

"The commander of the expeditionary force, General Regnio, has arrived in Paris! Now it's not convenient for me to meet him, I want you to get in touch first! You'll be working together in the future! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Conrobert.

"General Regino? Willing to serve you, Your Majesty! ”

Since the last banquet, Conrobell had known that General Regnio would be the Minister of War.

However, he only kept a flat heart about it.

After many days of working with the President, Conrobert found that the President attached far more importance to the Military Secretariat than to the War Department, and that some of the functions of the War Department had been stripped away by Minister Liueli.

Although the Military Secretariat of the President is now only subordinate to the Ministry of War and is under the jurisdiction of the President, in the future the Military Secretariat will certainly be the one who will actually command the army.

As the first leader of the Military Secretariat, he will surely become the one who commands the entire French army.

Thinking of this, Conrobel couldn't help but straighten his back.
