"Take it! Marshal, this is proof of your contribution to France! ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte first came to St. Arno in front of the Marshal with the medal symbolizing the Marshal. Arno said passionately.

Saint. Seeing this, Arno hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte salute, Jérôme. Bonaparte likewise sanctified. Arnault returned the salute.

Subsequently, Jérôme. Bonaparte once again handed the gilded marshal's scepter in the tray to the saint. Arnault.

Saint. Arno took a step forward, solemnly took the scepter with both hands, and then retreated back to its original position again.

"St. Long live Marshal Arnault! Long live the Empire! ”

The army under the stage is holy. Arno cheered as he became a marshal. Although their cheers are nothing more than the act of being ordered by their superiors, it also means that the army does not contradict the saints. Arnault became a marshal.

"I will live up to your expectations and trust in me! I am confident that under your leadership, France will be able to become strong again! "St. Arnault addressed Jérôme in a firm tone. Bonaparte said.

After that, St. Once again, Arno saluted the monarch in front of him.

"I believe it too! With your help, France will be able to become stronger! "Jérôme. Bonaparte returned the salute with a smile still on his face.

The coronation of Commander Regino also ended with cheers and salutes.

After the marshal ceremony, a grand military parade began.

Nearly 60,000 soldiers in their respective units began to receive Jérôme in an orderly manner at the instructions of their commanders. Bonaparte's Review.

Riding on a horse in Jérôme. Bonaparte, St. Arno, Reinho, and Bonaparte and the Orthodox generals who followed them inspected each team in turn, stopping from time to time to ask for the name of the commander and the number of his unit.

Jérôme. Bonaparte's image was "under his own hard work" over and over again, and he finally said that "in Paris, the army recognizes no one but me".

After the parade, Jérôme. As usual, Bonaparte spent hundreds of thousands of francs out of his own pocket to improve the food of the soldiers participating in the parade.

In the eyes of some in the army, Jérôme. Bonaparte has become synonymous with garlic salami and brown bread.

Of course, this is only the opinion of some veterans who have been in the army for a few years.

Many of the new recruits who had recently joined the army this year looked at the emperor's nephew with admiration on their faces. Bonaparte was already equated with the emperor who would lead France to revival.

As long as France can succeed in its revival, they will be able to gain power as they did during the Revolution.

And the reason why they equate revival with power is probably due to the influence of their parents.

Those who lived in the Napoleonic period experienced hardships and joys. As they grow old, the "cruel" memories of the past will be selectively erased by them.

In their mouths, war became a man's romance, and the glory of the past became warm, and they told the next generation about what happened to them, including but not limited to playing with German women.

The case of Jourdão, Ney and others, as well as the Napoleonic era in the mouths of the older generation, gave rise to unrealistic illusions in the second generation of French soldiers, who were desperate to restore their former glory.

Whoever can lead them back to glory will follow his commands to move forward.

It can be said that from Jérôme. From the moment Bonaparte staged the coup d'état, the whole of France was already engulfed by bayonets hidden under patriotism by the flag of patriotism itself.

Everyone is the promoter of the **** bayonet.

The parade ended with cheers of "Long live the Empire, long live Bonaparte".

Regino, who won the title of marshal, rushed back to Strasbourg again, and at this time he was full of energy, and the whole person seemed to be rejuvenated with a second spring.

Now that the title of marshal is in hand, will the title be far from him?

Marshal Regnio was convinced that he would be paid as long as he was able to complete the task of reforming the Strasbourg station.

Chief of the General Staff. Marshal Arnault also accelerated the pace of the formation of the General Staff.

June 1, 1852.

The General Staff is in St. Marshal Arnault with Jérôme. Bonaparte's joint efforts began to reorganize, and the three small groups in charge of Germany, the Near East, and Italy in the Secretariat were officially transformed into four offices.

The first is in charge of the Ottomans, Greece, Russia, Sweden, Norway, Denmark.

The second division is responsible: Germany (especially Prussia), Austria, Switzerland, Italy!

The third division is responsible for mainland France, Britain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, and Portugal

The fourth Valley/Span Division is responsible for Asia and the Americas.

In addition to Asia and the Americas, the fourth division is responsible for organizing, mobilizing, training and deploying.

Members of subordinate armies assigned from the barracks are trained by the hands of the Division.

In addition to the above-mentioned four divisions, the Military Science and Technology Department under the General Staff is also an important department. Bonaparte ordered the new Minister of War, Kuzan. Montauban placed the best historians, surveyors, statisticians, and topographic surveying and mapping experts in the military science and technology department, so that they could map more accurately.

Members who had gone to the Ministry of Railways for organization and coordination were also incorporated into the (new) Railways Division.

Since field mapping is a top priority, St. Arnault specifically appointed a "Director of Field Surveying" to the post.

Jérôme. Bonaparte and St. It took Arnault about three weeks to complete the framework of the new General Staff.

Under such a framework, the military administration and military orders have been completely separated from each other and do not interfere with each other.

Kuzan. Montauban had no right to meddle with the marching orders of the army, and St. Arnault also did not have the right to decide on the appointment and dismissal of personnel in the army.

The newly created General Staff exceeded 155 people from the very beginning of its creation.

At the same time, a new question was also raised in Jérôme. Bonaparte and St. Arno in front of him.

When Jérôme. When Bonaparte demanded that every division, brigade, and regiment should be equipped with a corresponding staff, St. Arnault was embarrassed to Jérôme. Bonaparte explained: The French army has to change its garrison every two or three years, and with the exception of specific areas such as the Seine and Strasbourg, the deployment of corps, divisions, and brigades is mostly improvised.

In many armies, brigade commanders and division commanders, division commanders and corps commanders meet for the first time only in times of war.

The staffs at the four levels of corps, divisions, brigades, and regiments should obey their leadership in peacetime, and how should they find their own troops.

This has become a perennial problem.

Jérôme. Bonaparte and St. Arno and the two sat on the sofa and pondered for a long time. Bonaparte asked: "Is it possible to keep the army fixed in one area, up to the railway line?" In this way, when the army is mobilized, it can arrive at a faster speed! ”

"But yes, yes! It's just ...... "St. Arno hesitated in response.

"But what? What's the difficulty? "Jérôme. Bonaparte asked again.

"If the army often stays in one area, it is very likely to become a regional force, which is not conducive to our mobilization!" Saint. Arnault feared that the army would merge with local forces, giving rise to an armed force against Paris.

"What about the war zone? If the French army were divided into five military districts, east, west, south, north and middle, each of which would have a general or marshal at the head of the military district, the armies could be moved within their jurisdiction! Every year, the soldiers recruited are assembled and then placed in different teams! "Jérôme. Bonaparte to St. Arnault said.

Dividing theaters and carrying out reassignments within a certain range can reduce the problem that the armed forces are unable to form a complete command at the army and division level due to constant mobilization.

Each theater only needs to divide a corps-level staff headquarters representing the theater, and then the army-level staff headquarters will stipulate division-level headquarters and brigade-level headquarters downward; as long as the army's change of defense does not exceed the theater, it is very easy for the army, brigade, and regimental staff to find an army that gradually belongs to itself.

If it were the Prussian army, then it would not have been necessary to defend the army in this way.

Compared to Paris, which was always fond of revolution, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Prussia were simply the best soldiers in the world, and they were willing to be whipped with a leather whip.

The French soldiers, on the other hand, chanted democracy at every turn. Although they did not understand the meaning of democracy, they knew that this slogan would save them from being beaten by their superiors.

In the final analysis, it is a question of building a national army and building a national army.

"That's the only way to do it!" Saint. Arno nodded to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

At the moment, there is no better way, they can only choose a slightly more reliable plan.

June 29, 1852.

French Minister of War Couzin. Montauban issued its first directive.

Beginning on July 1, France was officially divided into five major theaters: northeast, north, south, and central.

Each theater is managed by a marshal or a meritorious general, and a corps-level staff is established in the theater to help the marshal/general set strategic goals, complete strategic planning, and train the army.

There should be divisional and regimental staff headquarters under each theater, and various departments should be stationed in each other within the theater, and once the war begins, the divisional and (brigade) regimental staff headquarters should be the core of the reorganization of the army.

From the directives of the War Department, it can be seen that the army is completely organized around the General Staff, and the General Staff is also around the General Staff.

Such a layout inevitably led to accusations that the General Staff had seized the power of the command staff, but such complaints were not worth mentioning at all to the Chief of the General Staff and the Emperor, who were determined to reform.
