Chapter 172: St. Chief of the General Staff of Arnault
Jérôme. Bonaparte, of course, understood that the President's Military Secretariat was completely connected to the Ministry of War, and that there would be some people who would choose to oppose it.
However, he did not care at all about the objections of the military bureaucrats of the War Ministry, and purged the War Ministry. Bonaparte's mind had become something that had to be done.
Reluctance to follow Jérôme. Bonaparte walked in step and could follow Louis. Philip walked along.
"Kill the deserved! Catch it! I don't believe they don't have a little stain, you just need to catch their stain and make a fuss! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said with a sneer to General Regnio.
"Yes!" General Regnio replied scrupulously.
"That's right! Brigadier General Conrobert has recommended to me a man who will assist you in the management of the War Department! "Jérôme. Bonaparte, in a bland tone, quietly took away Minister Regnio's authority to appoint state secretaries.
General Regnio's expression showed a hint of surprise, could it be that the president was not at ease with him?
Still, he chose to listen to Jérôme. Bonaparte's orders acted.
"It's not that I don't trust you, but it's a matter of your own character...... I assure you that the new Secretary of State will do what you tell you to do! "In order to prevent a misunderstanding on the part of Minister Regino, Jérôme. Bonaparte made a point of explanation.
"Your Excellency, I would like to know who is the Secretary of State for the War Department!" Minister Regnio asked in a low voice.
"St. General Arno! "Jérôme. Bonaparte immediately responded: "He will come to Paris in the near future and then be my aide-de-camp." ”
Jérôme. After some conversation between Bonaparte and Minister Regnio, Minister Regnio departed.
……
On October 30, after almost a month of waiting.
Waldre finally returned to Paris, and with him came to Paris with St. Saint. General Arnault with two captains.
They were placed in different rooms by Pesini to wait for Jérôme. Bonaparte's Audience.
"Nothing happened on the way back, did it?" Jérôme in the study. Bonaparte asked Waldre, who had a tired expression.
"Your Majesty, no!" Waldre responded to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.
He didn't want to tell Jérôme. Bonaparte himself was nearly imprisoned for some reason, and these things may be a big deal for him, but they are a trivial thing for the president.
Although he can ask the president to arrest these people, this is just a knife to kill chickens, and the president's affection for everyone will become diluted as they ask for them again and again.
"Hmm!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded, and continued: "St. Where are General Arnault and Captain Migne now? ”
"Your Majesty, I have settled them in the reception room! They are always waiting for your summons! Waldley asked again in a cautious tone, "Do you want to call them over to meet you!" ”
"No need!" Jérôme. Bonaparte shook his head: "Go!" Take me to meet them! ”
"Yes! Your Majesty! ”
Under the leadership of Wardre, Jérôme. Bonaparte first came to St. Arnault's reception room.
The door to the reception room slowly opened, and when the door opened, Jérôme. Bonaparte looked inside the door, and standing outside the door he saw St. General Arnault.
At this time of the saint. General Arnault was sitting in a dignified chair.
He has long gray hair, each of which is slightly curled, giving the impression of a slight ion perm in later generations, a pinch of a mustache that is not perhaps thick, hanging on the side of his mouth, and his face is dignified and his brow is furrowed, giving people a sense of caution and reliability.
Xu because of the scene of the war in Algeria, so that the saint. General Arnault's skin was somewhat darker than that of the average person, except that he did not have Jérôme. Bonaparte's later civil engineering brother black seen on the Internet.
Although it is said that the saint. Arno had traveled all the way from Algeria, but his spirits were still full and he didn't feel like he was on the road for a long time.
With the saint who has been at war all year round. Compared to General Arnault, Waldre is clearly somewhat deficient.
Thanks to Jérôme. Bonaparte's appearance bears some resemblance to that of Emperor Napoleon. General Arnault had also heard a lot of news from Paris in the colony, which made him see Jérôme. Bonaparte saw Jérôme at first glance. Bonaparte is the president.
"Your Excellency!" Saint. General Arno hurriedly got up to greet Jérôme. Bonaparte.
"General, sit down!" Jérôme. Bonaparte raised his hand and motioned for the general to sit down.
The general, whose ass hung in mid-air, had to obey Jérôme. Bonaparte's order sat down.
Jérôme. Bonaparte walked briskly to St. Arno sat down beside him.
The servant placed two cups of coffee on the round table in front of the two men.
"You're welcome, General!" Jérôme. Bonaparte again stretched out his hand to invite the saint. General Arnault sipping coffee.
"Yes!" Saint. Arno took a sip of his coffee and swallowed it.
Stay until the saint. After Arno had swallowed completely, Jérôme. Bonaparte then spoke: "General, I have heard of you from Colonel Trochu! I don't know, if you are willing to serve France and me! ”
"Of course!" Saint. Arnault replied decisively in a trembling voice: "Your Excellency...... Thank you for being able to think of me as a veteran...... I will use all my power to repay your trust in me! ”
"General, trust is not a matter of words!" Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled at St. Arnault said: "General, as far as I know, you have many colleagues in the War Department, what will you do if they get in the way of the construction of the country......
"I will firmly carry out the orders you have given me!" Saint. General Arnault spoke firmly to Jérôme. Bonaparte said: "A soldier is not a pure soldier if he is not able to carry out the orders of the president thoroughly!" In my opinion, a soldier takes it as his duty to carry out orders, and those who cannot decisively carry out orders are not worthy of being called soldiers! This kind of person doesn't deserve to stay in the army, even if it's my friends, I won't hesitate to get rid of them! ”
In St. When General Arnault received the presidential letter handed to him by Waldre, he knew that this was an opportunity, and he had to seize it firmly.
For a soldier who has been frustrated for many years, every opportunity needs to be cherished, and his time is no longer allowing him to wait.
Whoever dares to stand in his way, he will not hesitate to crush the other party.
Not to mention his former colleagues, even his relatives and friends.
Jérôme. Bonaparte from St. General Arnault's words were heard in the decisiveness, as well as the ambition hidden in the decisiveness, and he needed to be like the saint. People like General Arnault helped him to complete the last step of the coup.
"General, I think it's entirely possible that you will be the Minister of War!" Jérôme. Bonaparte first encouraged St. General Arnault then showed a regretful expression to St. Arnault. General Arnault said: "It is a pity that General Regnio has already become Minister of War, can you please deign to the post of Secretary of State!" ”
"Of course!" For St. For Arnault, it is not an important matter what position he holds, but what is important is to be able to maintain friendship with the president.
"St. General Arnault, you will take over all the duties of Brigadier General Conrobert, and in addition to your duties as Adjutant and Secretary of State, you will also have the responsibilities of the Military Secretariat! At present, the Office of the Military Secretariat is working seamlessly with the Ministry of War, and I hope that you will be able to work with Minister Regnio to bridge the gap between the Office of the Military Secretary and the Ministry of War! "Jérôme. Bonaparte looked serious at St. Arnault said: "I don't want any big problems in the docking process between the Ministry of War and the Military Secretariat!" ”
"I promise you nothing will happen!" Saint. General Arno rushed to Jerôme. Bonaparte bowed and replied categorically: "If anything goes wrong, I am willing to leave!" ”
"Good! I believe you! "Jérôme. Bonaparte bowed slightly, he was very satisfied with the saint. Arnault's resolute attitude to his belief in the saint. Arnault will do his best to complete the task he has given him.
To motivate St. General Arnault's Jérôme. Bonaparte to the saints. Arnault revealed a piece of information: "General, I can tell you that the duty of the Military Secretariat is to designate the department of battle planning and operations in the future, and I will deprive the War Department of all its war-related functions and integrate them into the Military Secretariat after the War Department is completely stabilized!" At that time, the Military Secretariat will become the highest organ in France to control the army, you can also call it the General Staff, and you will be the Chief of the General Staff of the Army! ”
"Chief of the General Staff?!" Jérôme. Bonaparte's Promise Decree Sanctified. Arnault's blood was about to boil, and he remembered Berthier, the chief of the general staff of the Napoleonic Emperor, since His Excellency said that the General Staff would become the organ that commanded the whole army in the future, then he, the chief of the general staff, was probably more powerful than Berthier.
I'll go down in history!
Saint. Arno shouted frantically inside.
Saint. Arno's expression was replaced by Jérôme. With Bonaparte in full view, he patted the saint. Arnault's shoulder said, "That's right! By that time, you will be the Supreme Commander of the entire Army! ”
"Nope! You are the supreme commander of the army! "St. Arno humbly addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte bowed: "The emperor has created the army, and you, as his nephew, deserve the power of supreme command!" I will crush all enemies for you! ”
Jérôme. Bonaparte is also saintly. After General Arnault had spoken for almost an hour, Jérôme had spoken with him. Bonaparte to the saints. After a brief explanation of the political changes in Paris and the problems he faced, Arnault briefly explained the political changes in Paris. Arnault temporarily separated.
Leave St. Arno room after Jérôme. Bonaparte came to another door, and he was about to meet Captain Migne, who had brought the breech gun to its peak.
