Chapter 206: Loyalty is not absolute

Jérôme. Bonaparte's bow was something that was unexpected by all present, and no previous ruler, including the Emperor Napoleon, had ever been like Jérôme. Bonaparte respected the army in this way.

The emperor's nephew bows to us again!

All the soldiers on the parade ground had only one thought left, and that was to "give their loyalty to this person on the viewing platform"!

The idea spread like a plague throughout the army.

After the speech, the cuirassiers under the viewing platform were in Edgar. Ney's orders also began to move.

Edgar. Ney stood with his feet together and straightened, then drew his command knife and turned his head to face Jérôme. Bonaparte replied loudly: "Your Excellency, the parade troops have been processed, please review it!" ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte did not speak but waved his hand, and Edgar received the order. Ney quickly turned around and shouted, "Get on the horse!" ”

The cuirassiers, who were to act as heralds as heralds passing the march between the phalanxes, were to ride on tall black horses.

Their skilful horsemanship and glittering cuirass made them the focus of the parade, and the foreign envoys on the viewing platform commented on the cuirassiers, some said they were an elite unit, others said they were nothing more than a touch of a button.

They do not hear a single one of these comments, and of course they do not bother to listen to the comments of these laymen, who fearlessly pass on the authority of the president to every army.

Under the instructions of these presidential "doppelgangers", the president's authority is higher and implemented in every phalanx.

Under the leadership of the commander, the phalanx soldiers began to move in an orderly manner, the uniform weapons and uniforms made them like layers of waves, and the troops began to move quickly without messing up the formation, and by the time they reached the viewing platform, the speed could be slowed down.

As the soldiers of each phalanx walked under the viewing platform, they hysterically shouted their own numbers and chanted.

"Long live Bonaparte, long live the Republic!"

Between the neat steps of the soldiers, the ground on the viewing platform shook, as if the earth had also been overturned.

Every slogan made Jérôme. Bonaparte had a smile on his face, and as a sign of respect for the army, he would take off his hat and salute every time the troops shouted slogans.

The phalanx of the 1st Brigade in Paris ended with "Long live Bonaparte, long live the Republic".

When it was the turn of the 2nd Brigade in Paris, the first phalanx, led by Brigadier General Conrobert, began to change its slogan.

"Long live Bonaparte, long live the Empire!"

Led by the commander, the soldiers began to shout at the top of their voices.

The faces of the foreign ministers and members of the Legislative Assembly on the viewing platform changed instantly, and no one did not understand what this slogan stood behind it.

These slogans were seriously forbidden in the Bourbon and Orleans eras, even during the enlightened Republic, and they also represented a signal of political incorrectness.

Shouting long live the empire in a republic is almost like declaring war on the republic.

If this were not a "sacred" military parade, they would have impeached Conrobert.

Compared to the vigorous changes of the politicians in the Legislative Assembly, the Big-Headed Soldiers obviously don't care about this, and under the deliberate propaganda of the commanders, the Big-headed Soldiers rightly believe that the so-called republic and the empire are the same thing, and the president and the emperor are also the same person.

Not only them, but even the commanders of those units also sent a message to Jérôme during the parade. Bonaparte salutes Jérôme in their eyes. Bonaparte is an era, an era in which France has passed

When all the troops of the 2nd Brigade of Paris ended with the shout of "Long live Bonaparte, long live the Empire", the 3rd Brigade of Paris appeared on the scene, the army that had gone to Rome, obviously more military spirit than the previous security army, and their eyes were full of murder.

Under the leadership of the junior commander of the 3rd Brigade in Paris, the 3rd Brigade, which was supposed to shout "Long live Bonaparte, long live the Republic", shouted the slogan "Long live Bonaparte, long live the Reich" in the same way as the 2nd Brigade in Paris.

This group of soldiers who returned from the battlefield was more loud and passionate than the soldiers of the Second Brigade.

Shangargne's face on the viewing platform also changed slightly, and the 3rd Brigade in Paris tried to break out of his control.

The majesty and obedience from the higher authorities did not make the 3rd Brigade obedient.

Morality. Castellana smiled meaningfully, and the army's behavior was as expected.

In such an environment, how many people can really not be swept away by this kind of fanaticism!

Jérôme. Bonaparte laughed even more, the so-called military parade was a tool he used to test the loyalty of the army and his own control over the army, and the actions of the 3rd Brigade in Paris made him realize that he could already establish prestige in the army without relying on Shangargne.

He did it!

The military empire founded by his uncle is still alive in everyone's hearts, even if it is only a small microcosm of the empire now, and that is enough.

The shadow of the First French Empire will take root in the hearts of every soldier, although there is Jérôme. Part of Bonaparte's constant giving back to the army was the army's memories of the past.

Just imagine, if the army really does not miss the empire established by his uncle, then even if he uses all his strength, it is impossible for the army to shout the slogan of long live the empire.

Although Bourbon and Orleans went to war to curry favor with their armies, they gave them only a small favor compared to the wars they fought and the wealth they bringed.

After decades of dormancy and calm, the army will never be bought by small favors, the French army has forgotten the pain brought to them when the emperor was defeated, how to scold the emperor who led him to victory when the army was defeated, and the army tired of peace from the bottom up has become more ambitious again, and they hope that someone can lead them to repeat the path that the emperor said they took, and they want to use the blood of the enemy to pave a way of their own honor and medals, It is hoped that immortal feats will be established in the great cause of conquest. To do what they have in their hearts, they can abandon the weak monarch (de. Orleans), turning their backs on the inactive Legislative Assembly and looking for a leader who could lead them to glory, whether it was Louis (Bourbon) or Napoleon. Jérôme. Bonaparte seized the opportunity, and he disguised himself as Napoleon as the army wanted, deceiving the army with lies and blueprints.

The army that was willing to be deceived did not hesitate to take Jérôme. Bonaparte was elevated to a place where history should not have been, and just because he was called Napoleon, a country was easily controlled by a foreigner.

I have to say that this is simply more bizarre than some fantasy, but reality is always more fantasy than fantasy.

……

After the grand parade, Jérôme. Bonaparte waved his hand contentedly and invited the army to an open-air banquet.

The army, led by the commanders of the various formations, also went to the open-air banquet in an orderly manner, and the unlimited supply of frozen chicken and enemas was piled up in a small hill and placed on the table, which Fleury and Pessini had prepared for many days, invited hundreds of hotels in Paris to make them overnight, and spent nearly a million francs to complete.

The soldiers at the open-air banquet could enjoy the frozen chicken and sausages on the table, and the draught beer piled up in barrels. Bonaparte's healthy and toast.

Empathetic Jérôme. Bonaparte would likewise command Edgar. Ney and the others brushed their presence around, and he also walked through various drinking tables to draw in relationships with the officers.

Officers and soldiers flocked to Jérôme. Bonaparte to Jérôme. Bonaparte expressed his respect for him.

Jérôme. Bonaparte also responded, until Pesini told him that the banquet in the back room was about to begin, and Jérôme. Bonaparte raised his glass and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am glad that you are able to tell me the truth about my dying president, and I am also willing to communicate with you as much as I want." However, I also have my own banquet, so ......"

Jérôme. Bonaparte drank the wine from his glass and slammed it upside down in front of the table, and the soldiers could only regretfully get out of the way.

Jérôme. Bonaparte and Pessini entered the castle, which was nearly 100 meters from the parade.

In the splendid halls of the castle, middle and high-ranking military personnel and foreign envoys mingle with beautiful music in Jérôme. When Bonaparte arrived, it began to play in the living room.

Enter the living room of Jérôme. Bonaparte remained the focus of the banquet, and officers and foreign envoys flocked to Jérôme. Bonaparte in front of Jérôme. Bonaparte expressed his blessing.

"Everyone, please take a seat!" Jérôme. Bonaparte invited the military and foreign envoys to sit down at a long table.

The high-ranking generals scattered on both sides of the table whispered quietly, and their eyes turned to Jerome from time to time. President Bonaparte and the people around him.

The reason why they reacted so violently was because there was someone next to the president who was not supposed to be sitting there.

To the left of the president is the Minister of War Regnio, who should sit in this position as the president's most important aide, and to the right of the president is not the commander they think of as Changargne, but Reinho's assistant Saint-Saint. General Arnault.

Does the fact that he took the place of Shangargne as the president's right hand as secretary of state for the armed forces indicates that the president wants to break with Commander Shangarne?

Regnio and St. Arnault was followed by Brigadier General Conrobert, Brigadier General Niel, Director Lendall, and then Commander Shangargne.
