Chapter 768: Forge ahead

As a product born in 1789, the National Guard can be said to have been closely associated with the revolution from the moment it was born.

As a result, it was also seen as a thorn in the side of the monarchs after the Revolution, and Emperor Napoleon, Louis XVIII, and Charles X all briefly abolished this revolutionary army, but eventually had to rebuild it.

By the time of the Kingdom of Orleans, Louis Murphy, who considered himself to have been put on the throne by the National Guard. Philip saw the National Guard as a powerful guarantor of power, but the National Guard betrayed him.

When Jérôme. After Bonaparte became the Second Emperor, he also gritted his teeth against the National Guard, but he did not dare to disband the National Guard directly at the risk of the world.

Therefore, he can only choose to keep the National Guard at full strength, not even half of the number, and at the same time deploy a large number of troops around Paris, as long as there is a change in Paris, the surrounding troops will enter Paris as soon as possible and crush those rebels.

Now, Niel has gone so far as to abolish the "National Guard" in the next round of military reform, which really makes him feel a little dangerous.

After all, the time to abolish the National Guard in history was after 1870, because France suffered an unprecedented defeat in the battle with Prussia, which made the whole of France hold their breath and want to settle accounts with Prussia, so they chose to imitate Prussia to establish the reserve system and the general staff system.

Even in that environment, the abolition of the National Guard was passed after a separate debate in Parliament.

The present French Empire had not yet suffered from the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. Bonaparte was skeptical that the reform of abolishing the National Guard would be carried out.

Face Jérôme. Bonaparte asked a solemn question, and Niel also replied with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, I am well aware of the place of the National Guard in the hearts of our people!"

But I will also tell you that the system of the National Guard is no longer suitable for France. ”

Subsequently, Niel asked Jérôme. Bonaparte recounted the situation in which he sent people to various provinces and cities to investigate.

According to the results of the Ministry of War's research, the vast majority of the National Guard in France are not called armies at all, but at best local militias, and in some places even select people who are almost 50 years old to join the National Guard.

"Your Majesty, is there still a need for an organization like this to exist in France?" Niel has been unable to find the ground against Jérôme. Bonaparte asked, then continued: "It is better to abolish them than to let them continue to rot like this!" ”

"Neel, something is not right to do!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said with a wry smile and shook his head.

In the "future" Franco-Prussian War, Gambida led 600,000 (claimed) National Guards to Paris to relieve the siege, but was frozen in place by an army of the Kingdom of Prussia.

One can imagine how much water the National Guard Army has.

However, just like Jérôme. As Bonaparte said, there are things that you know are wrong, but you have to follow them.

"Your Majesty, I don't understand!" Niel shook his head at Jérôme. Bonaparte replied.

Jérôme. Bonaparte looked up at Niel, and from Niel's eyes, he saw unwillingness.

Niel didn't understand that he was just unwilling to accept the rejection of his military reforms.

"The issue of the National Guard is so broad that it can be said that it affects the whole body!" Jérôme. Bonaparte bitterly persuaded Nière: "Let's consider starting a new business outside the framework of the National Guard!" ”

"Starting anew?" Neielle looked puzzled.

"We can set up another reserve army, which will be used for training every year, except for the time spent on farming!

In order to be able to plunge into battle as soon as possible in times of war! "Jérôme. Bonaparte explained to Niel.

His idea also came from Niel, but thirteen years later.

"Your Majesty, what about those people in the National Guard?" Neielle asked rhetorically.

"Those people, just as if they didn't exist!" Jérôme. Bonaparte shrugged his shoulders and replied to Niel.

"But they also cost us a lot of money!" Niel vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte continued, "And I promise you! If you don't choose to abolish the National Guard, those conscripted soldiers will try to escape to the National Guard to evade your draft! ”

"This ......" Jérôme. Bonaparte's brow furrowed slightly, and there was indeed some truth in what Niel said.

"Is there really only one way to abolish the National Guard?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Niel again.

"Your Majesty, we must have the determination of a strong man to break his wrist!" Niel is steadfast in his commitment to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

Niel in 1855 was less compromised than Niel in 1868 and more determined to reform.

Seeing that Nière was determined to carry out the reform of abolishing the National Guard, Jérôme . Bonaparte pondered again for a moment, but finally he agreed with Nière.

After all, the only way forward for the French army is to build a well-established reserve.

Jérôme. Bonaparte gritted his teeth no matter what the price took.

"Your General Staff should issue a report on the National Guard in the shortest possible time, and the content of the report must clearly state the situation and status of the National Guard Forces in various places!

When the time comes, I'll go to the Palais Bourbon with the report and the military reform, and I think I'll be able to convince the old diehards in the legislature! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Niel.

"Yes! Your Majesty! Niel nodded to Jérôme. Bonaparte replied.

"The rest of the military reform, I'm quite satisfied!" Jérôme. Bona encouraged Niel: "I hope you can keep up the good work!" ”

"I will definitely live up to your expectations!" Niel seriously to Jérôme. Bonaparte replied.

He knew that whether it was to raise the authority of the General Staff or abolish the National Guard, it was Jérôme. Bonaparte was using his prestige to protect him.

If his reforms did not reach Jérôme. Bonaparte expected that he would most likely be killed by Jérôme. Bonaparte deposed.

So Neielle had to initiate the spirit of the twelve-point to get the job done.

Thus, during the period from late May to early June, Marshal Nière was not idle for a moment, and the staff officers of the General Staff, who he quickly summoned, went to the French provinces and municipalities in civilian clothes to gather information against the National Guard. Bonaparte completely buried the National Guard.

And Jérôme. Bonaparte also took advantage of this time to turn his attention to Algeria, a land that had been conquered by France for nearly 25 years or so.

So, Jérôme. Bonaparte summoned the Minister of the Interior, Pessini, and asked him about Abdou, who was imprisoned. Kadir's message.

Pessini told Jérôme. Bonaparte, since Abdu. Eight years have passed since the arrest of Qadir, the last (formed) rebel leader in Algiers. The cadir detachment stayed quietly in a prison near Paris.

Jérôme. Bonaparte curiously asked Pesini, Abdu. Kadir hadn't thought about escaping prison during this time!

Pessini responds to Jérôme. Bonaparte, thanks to Abdul. Because of his special status, he was held in a different location than ordinary political prisoners, and the previous Orleans government specially arranged a solitary prison for him.

Subsequently, Jérôme. Bonaparte ordered Pessini to take him to Abdu. The education where Khadiwen is located.

Pesini had to follow Jérôme. Bonaparte intended to do so, and the carriage carried Jérôme. After Bonaparte and Pessini arrived at the prison outside Paris, Jérôme. Bonaparte met Abdo Abdul, who was being held in solitary confinement. Cadivin.

After eight years in prison, Abdul Although Kadivan's face was slightly haggard, he was still full of energy.

"Your Majesty, this is the traitor Abdu. Cardivan! "Responsible for the pressure of Abdu. The warden of Kadir warmly addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte introduced Abdu. The Life of Kadir.

"No introduction! I know! "Jérôme. Bonaparte raised his hand to stop the prison warden's introduction, and then said to Abdo . Khadiwen asked lightly, "Mr. Khadivan, are you willing to regain your freedom!" ”

Hear the "free" Abdu. Cadivin's eyes lit up, and he hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte in front of Jérôme. Bonaparte responded: "Your Majesty, I have never dreamed of being free again!" ”

"As long as you can agree to a few conditions from me, I am willing to grant you freedom!" Jérôme. Bonaparte vs. Abdu. Kadiwen said.

"Great Your Majesty, what conditions do you want me to promise you?" Abdu. Kadivan asked Jérôme again. Bonaparte said.

"First of all, you must promise that after you are released from prison, you will not engage in terrorist activities against France!" Jérôme. Bonaparte vs. Abdu. Kadiwen said.

"Your Majesty, no matter how arrogant I think, I can't go against a monarch who has conquered all of Europe!" Abdu. Kadir vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte touted.

"And after you get out of prison! Can't travel to Algiers! "Jérôme. Bonaparte once again to Abdul. Kadir said.
