Chapter 317 Strasbourg's Military Reform Problem

In the eyes of the new generation of Parisian people, Jérôme. Bonaparte was no longer a man, and a symbol, a symbol of France's former glory.

Now Jérôme. Bonaparte seemed to have his fate tied to the fate of France, and he tried to prove to the people of Paris that it was the will of all the French people as long as the empire reappeared over France.

In order to be able to make the citizens of Paris aware of the "will" of the provinces, Jérôme. While Bonaparte assumed an "approachable" posture towards the people of Paris, he also traveled tirelessly to the French provinces to seek support.

At the beginning of October, Jérôme. Bonaparte set out for a cruise to the eastern provinces of France, passing through strategic points such as Nancy to reach the military platform of Strasbourg.

An unexpected scene took place at the military station in Strasbourg, where the Jérôme. Bonaparte's train had just stopped at the Strasbourg military platform when a distant group of hussars dressed in First Empire uniforms approached the military platform and swerved their horses to the train at great speed.

The situation in front of him was unexpected and made the atmosphere drop to freezing point in an instant, and the cabin was responsible for protecting Jérôme. Bonaparte's infantry almost thought it was a mutiny.

Just as they were about to pull the trigger on the Imperial hussars outside the train, Jérôme. Bonaparte stopped them. He calmly straightened out Lev's gown, put on Napoleon's tricorne and said: "I believe that the soldiers of the empire will never aim their spears at their emperor!" ”

After that, Jérôme. Bonaparte, despite Morny's objections, got out of the car alone and shouted at the hussars in front of him: "What are you doing? You are the emperor who will kill you."

The hussars looked stern and panicked, and the leader of the leader, a student-looking leader (who looked more like), hurriedly waved his hand, ordered all the hussars to dismount, and then came to Jérôme alone. In front of Bonaparte, he saluted and said aloud: "Your Majesty! I am a cadet of the Cavalry Section of the Military Academy of Strasbourg, and I am here to greet you on the orders of Commander Regnio! ”

Hearing the answer of the student in front of him, Jérôme. Bonaparte's heart finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that it was not a coup d'état but an impromptu performance, he patted his shoulder and said: "You should have told me as soon as possible!" ”

Then, he pointed to the soldiers in the carriage behind him and said, "See, you almost became their guns!" ”

The students of the cavalry department only found out that from Jérôme. The soldiers who appeared in Bonaparte's carriage were all armed with the latest Migne rifles, and the hussars had nothing in their hands that could be used to counterattack except for command and slashing knives.

"I'm ......" the hussar swallowed subconsciously, and his heart couldn't help but be afraid, and he almost brushed shoulders with death.

At this moment, the voice of Strasbourg commander Regnio came from behind the hussars: "Get out of the way!" Get out of the way! ”

The group of student soldiers separated from each other, and Commander Regnio appeared along with his deputy commander and chief of staff.

The three of them looked slightly flustered, and Jérôme. Bonaparte's early arrival was obviously unexpected, they had expected to arrive at 10 a.m., who would have expected to arrive early at 9:47.

I wanted to surprise the government, but now it seems that it is a blessing not to turn into a fright.

"Your Excellency, I'm so sorry! We really didn't expect you to ...... "Commander Regnio to Jérôme. Bonaparte whispered, but Jérôme. Bonaparte interrupted: "Say no more! ”

Regino was silent, and his heart welled up with apprehension and remorse, why did he bother to listen to these two guys in the first place.

Now that it is self-defeating, the surprise has turned into a fright, and I am afraid that the ruling lord will punish him severely.

Jérôme standing in place. Bonaparte looked Commander Regnio up and down, and he had the impression that the last time he came to Strasbourg, Commander Regnio did not seem to be as old as he is now, and it was a waste of energy to manage Strasbourg's army and set up military stations.

Incidentally, since the establishment of the legislature and the establishment of the system of military stations and conscription, the First Army of the Seine, as well as Strasbourg, were among the first places to be reorganized.

For this Jerome. Bonaparte wrote a letter urging Regnio to supervise the reorganization, and looking at Regnio's gray sideburns and folded crow's feet, Jérôme. Bonaparte sighed, patted Regnho on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "Hard work! ”

"Ahh That's what I'm supposed to do! Commander Regnio hurriedly responded, and his heart was also relieved.

Judging by the current situation, the ruling government does not want to punish him for this incident.

After pacifying Commander Regino, Jérôme. Bonaparte looked again at the hussars who greeted him, and from their faces, Jérôme. Bonaparte saw the vigor and said impassionedly in French: "...... You are an excellent army, and from you I see the future of France......"

Jérôme. Bonaparte's speech caused the nervous group of students of the Military Academy to finally put the letter in their stomachs, and it seemed that His Excellency did not intend to pursue their problems.

Stay until Jérôme. After Bonaparte's speech, there was a shout from the hussars "Long live the Empire, long live Napoleon".

Jérôme. Bonaparte waved his hand to this group of "German" France, and in Jérôme. In Bonaparte's eyes, they were undoubtedly the most loyal to France.

After the crisis was resolved, under the leadership of Commander Reinho, Jérôme. Bonaparte got into the carriage that had been prepared and prepared to go to the inn that Renio had prepared for him.

The carriage was halfway to Jérôme. Bonaparte instead wanted to meet at the Strasbourg Military Academy.

I wanted to wait until I had a chance to take Jérôme with me. General Regnio, who went to the Military Academy of Strasbourg, heard Jérôme. Bonaparte wanted to go to the University of Strasbourg and immediately obey Jérôme. Bonaparte's command, led Jérôme. Bonaparte went on a visit to the Military Academy of Strasbourg.

During the carriage trip to the Military Academy of Strasbourg, Jérôme. Bonaparte warmly received the leader of the hussars just now, and listened to him talk about the history of the Strasbourg Military Academy and the size of the school.

The carriage slowly arrived at the gate of the Strasbourg Military Academy, and the dean and provost, who received the news, quickly organized people to welcome them.

Under the leadership of the principal and others, Jérôme. Bonaparte visited the academies of the cavalry, infantry, artillery and "civil engineering" sections, and shook hands with them.

On the occasion of parting, Jérôme. Bonaparte waved goodbye to them.

After leaving the Military Academy of Strasbourg, Jérôme. Bonaparte was arranged by Commander Regnio to stay in a luxury hotel.

Jérôme. Bonaparte still did not choose to rest, but called Regnio to ask about Strasbourg's military reform.

"Your Majesty, Major General Niel's military reform is good, but there is a problem!" Commander Regnio expressed his opinion tactfully.

"What's the problem?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked, believing that Commander Regnio was definitely not talking nonsense.

"That's right! According to Niel's military reform plan, each military station needs 30-40 military officers who are responsible for overall planning, Strasbourg only has 2 military academies, and we can't draw enough manpower at all, and he looks down on those grassroots officers in our army, thinking that they are the "scum" in the army, and we ...... "Commander Reginio turned to Jérôme with a bitter face. Bonaparte spoke of his dilemma.

Niel's military reform required both the reduction of a large number of military commanders who were over their age and the large-scale reorganization of military stations.

The most important thing is that Strasbourg has only two military academies, and even if they work hard, they will not be able to produce enough military management personnel.

"This is really a problem......" Jérôme. Bonaparte pressed lightly on his temples and finished visiting the Jérôme in Strasbourg. Bonaparte also found Strasbourg to have a shortage of military talent.

Strasbourg is different from Paris in that it has prestigious military academies such as the École Saint-Cyr and the École Polytechnique de Paris, and the military commanders produced each year will certainly not be able to meet the demand.

Most of the officers who had been promoted from Algeria through actual combat were illiterate, and if they were to be charged, they would be more courageous than the other, and it would probably be a great waste of effort to calm them down and really study the tactics of war.

Of course, this is not only the problem of France, but it is also the case in all countries except Prussia, which is much more serious than France.

Jérôme. Bonaparte pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "The station must be built!" Ordered the garrison to learn to read maps and write letters in every grassroots officer in Strasbourg, and the army set up literacy classes and assault classes for those guys to learn *********, what if they didn't want to? "Commander Regnio doesn't think those ** will calm down and learn.

"Ra has to pull me to learn! Anyone who is unwilling to study in depth will have their military membership revoked and leave the army! "Jérôme. Bonaparte decided to use the practice a hundred years later.

Since the soft ones can't work, let's go straight to the hard ones.

You can learn about the compulsory study class.

"Yes!" Commander Regnio nodded in understanding.

Jérôme. Bonaparte got up and paced back and forth twice, then continued: "Two military academies in Strasbourg are absolutely not enough!" At least another 5 ...... should be established Oh no! 2 higher military academies and 4 medium-sized academies! For those who are willing to come to the army, we should give encouragement on tuition! ”

"But...... Strasbourg's local financial ......" Commander Regnio tactfully reached out for money.

"When I go back, I will immediately order the Ministry of Finance to allocate funds!"
