One of the marshals who commanded the entire Crimean War was the Red (St. Saint. Arnault) and the three generals (Perissier, Conrobert, Boques) and the honors that should be awarded, Jérôme. Bonaparte looked up at Kuzan. Montauban nodded approvingly: "You guys have done a good job in this area, so you should use this method to make statistics!" ”

"It's all taught by you!" Kuzan. Montauban was respectful to Jérôme. Bonaparte replied.

"This has nothing to do with me!" Jérôme. Bonaparte shook his head, he didn't want to take all the credit for himself, "so be it! Give a collective credit to the department responsible for counting this list! ”

Kuzan. Montauban hurriedly sent a letter to Jérôme on behalf of the statistics department of the Ministry of War. Bonaparte expressed his gratitude.

"It's all the honor they deserve!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said in a flat tone.

Then, he went back to the first page and looked at the rest of the story.

After a marshal and three generals, there were chiefs of staff of the first, second, and third divisions of the division level (military rank: brigadier general ~ colonel), and it was precisely because of them that the staff officers under their command made corresponding plans according to the general policy of the staff of the expeditionary force, and the victory of the Sevastopol fortress was achieved, and the chief of staff of all two of them with the rank of brigadier general was to be awarded the Order of the Legion of Honor (silver was one grade lower than the medal of Conrobert and others), and one chief of staff of the rank of colonel was given the opportunity to be promoted to brigadier general.

After these three divisional chiefs of staff, Jérôme. Bonaparte's familiar McMahon and Bazin appeared on the list.

As the only two sharp knives in the entire expeditionary force, the Zhuaf soldiers of these two regiments can be said to have not missed a single battle, from the fortress of Silistra to the landing of Yevpatoria, to the raid of the Battle of Arma and the attack and defense of the fortress of the stars. Bonaparte gave a satisfactory answer.

If we only count hard battles and bad battles, the credit of McMahon and Bazin can be said to be higher than those three divisional chiefs of staff.

It's just that the current French army is in Jérôme. Under Bonaparte's transformation, it gradually became an army centered on the instructions of the General Staff, rather than relying solely on the quality of the commander himself, as before.

Therefore, the role of McMahon and Bazin in the raid operation is indeed far greater than that of the division chief of staff, and the combined merit of the two is far less than that of the division chief of staff.

Although McMahon and Bazin were behind the three divisional chiefs of staff on the list, they were awarded the Silver Legion of Honor along with the chiefs of staff.

Then, it is the credit of the regimental and battalion-level commanders under the division.

Because many battles are fought by the forward regiment and battalion system, after the victory or defeat is divided, the follow-up troops will choose to go up in a swarm, or flee in disgrace.

The two victories on the battlefield of Crimea were decided at the regimental and battalion level, and the remaining troops were defeated, and then the cavalry units fought into the opposing camp and began to harvest heads.

If you're lucky, the enemy's army will be surrounded by cavalry units after the first turn, and then taken down.

As for the merits of the companies and units, the merits of the units are not at all included in the statistics of the War Department, and their appointment and dismissal power is in the hands of the divisions, and the War Department only needs to deal with the list of promoted members.

After receiving the instructions from the War Department to compile a list of company-level cadres to be counted, each unit will hand over the list of company-level cadres who have already been promoted to the War Department, and the War Department that has received the list will be summarized and processed in different files.

However, although the list does not include the names of the members of the ranks, Jérôme. Bonaparte was still in the last part of the list and found his nephew Jérôme. Patterson's name.

Jérôme. Bonaparte. Joseph. Paterson, member of the 1st French Division, rank: Captain, participated in the following battles: the Battle of Silistra, the Battle of Arma, the Battle of Sevastopol......

At a glance at the list of recommendations for the award, the Ministry of War "recommended" to Jérôme. Captain Patterson was unusually promoted to lieutenant colonel.

"Is this the suggestion of your War Department, or is it the suggestion of the Expeditionary Force Command...... "Jérôme. Bonaparte will Jérôme. Patterson's profile is placed in Kuzan. Montauban asks them in front of Neel.

"Your Majesty, this is the suggestion of the Expeditionary Force Command!" Niel hurriedly responded, "They also said that Jérôme. Captain Patterson did his duty in those battles mentioned above, and was worthy of the Bonaparte family name! ”

"yes!" Kuzan. Montauban echoed the same sentiments.

"Even so, you can't be promoted out of the ordinary!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said categorically.

Jérôme. Bonaparte looked at what his nephew had done in the Crimean War, and he found that Jérôme. Patterson was either acting as Conrobel's adjutant or as Perissier's temporary aide-de-camp, and he didn't really go down to the grassroots at all, all he did was convey the instructions of Conrobert or Perissier.

Hence Jérôme. Bonaparte in no way agreed with the proposal of the Expeditionary Force Command to be promoted by two levels at once.

He would rather let his nephew's career in the army be a little slower and more stable, rather than let him go straight to the top.

Although on the surface it is indeed easier to build up a power by crossing two or three levels in one step, this kind of power is like a sandcastle on the beach, and it can't withstand any shock.

It's like Jérôme. Bonaparte's own father, the Prince of Montfort, did not look at the title of marshal of the empire that he now wore on his head, but his prestige in the army was not to mention that he was a saint. Arnault could not be compared even with the commander of Strasbourg, Marshal Regnau, for whom all his titles were based. Bonaparte himself was emperor on the basis of that.

The establishment of any force is not built overnight, and it takes bit by bit to accumulate contacts to succeed.

Jérôme. Patterson's promotion to major is more in line with his merits, and it can also give people a sense of steadiness and stability.

If you are promoted to lieutenant colonel, you obviously have some intention of forcibly promoting.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" Kuzan. Montbonto asked cautiously.

"Promoted to Major, then awarded a Knight Medal (4th degree)!" Jérôme. Bonaparte to Kuzan. Monbonto said.

"Yes!" Kuzan. Monbonto hurriedly replied.

Subsequently, Jérôme. Bonaparte put down the list in his hand to Kuzan. Montbonto and Niel asked, "That's right! Both of you need to draw up a copy as well! ”

"Are we still going to draw it up?" Kuzan. Montauban looked at Jérôme suspiciously. Bonaparte, he did not understand Jérôme . Bonaparte meaning.

"That's right! As I said, the honor of war belongs not only to the soldiers who fought bloody battles on the front line, but also to the logistics department that provides support for the soldiers on the front line! Without them to provide ammunition supplies to the front-line soldiers, the front-line soldiers would probably have to fight the enemy with their bare hands! "Jérôme. Bonaparte logically and clearly to Kuzan. Montauban and Neel said, and then added: "However, the honors and promotions of your two departments will not be done until the end of the war!" All you need to do is record the people who did well in the war, and then wait until the war is over to give them a prize! ”

Kuzan. Montauban and Niel nodded, indicating that they would definitely follow Jérôme. Bonaparte said to do what he said, and at the same time asked Jérôme. Could Bonaparte have disclosed this to their subordinates in advance?

"Voluntarily revealing that you can't mobilize them! You have to make them think they found out! "Jérôme. A wicked smile appeared at the corner of Bonaparte's mouth: "People always like to do things secretly!" ”

Kuzan. Montauban and Niel immediately stated that they would follow Jérôme. Do what Bonaparte said.

"That's it! Now that all the preparations have been made, when do you think I should go? "Jérôme. Bonaparte gently touched his chin to Kuzan. Montauban and Neale asked.

"Your Majesty, I think it's better to let the Ministry of War do this matter! All you need to do is sit in Paris! "Kuzan after many days. Once again, Montauban advises Jérôme. It was better for Bonaparte not to leave Paris.

Although the Empire has conquered the people of Paris with successive victories, there is no guarantee that nothing will go wrong. In case in Jérôme. After Bonaparte left, if the hidden creatures rebelled again, the empire could be destroyed.

"It's not negotiable! I have to go to Constantinople myself! "Jérôme. Bonaparte was uncompromisingly to Kuzan. Montauban responded.

"Yes!" Facing a strong Jérôme. Bonaparte, Kuzan. Montauban had no choice but to give in.

"In the time I'm away, Neel!" Jérôme. Bonaparte turned his gaze to Niel.

"In!" Hear Jérôme. Bonaparte's heart beat faster when he called his name.

"You're in charge of the army!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Nière: "All the troops located in Paris must not be mobilized without permission!" ”

"Yes!" Neielle replied decisively.

"On the government side, I will appoint someone! All you have to do is work with him! "Jérôme. Bonaparte continued: "Let's set the date of departure on July 20th!" Between now and my arrival in Constantinople, I can't let a word slip out! If anyone leaks the news......"

Jérôme. Bonaparte snorted coldly, and the meaning was self-evident.

……

Kuzan. After Montauban and Niel left, Jérôme. Bonaparte ordered Mocal to summon the Minister of Justice, Ruet.

About half an hour later, the Minister of Justice, Ruie, appeared in Jérôme. Bonaparte's office.

"Ruet, you sit! I have something to discuss with you! ”
