Jérôme. As soon as Bonaparte's plan for a five-year regular army and a four-year reserve was proposed, it was immediately opposed by Favre.

Favre believed that the four-year reserve plan would inevitably cost a lot of money and manpower, and that it would put a heavy burden on the entire French Empire.

"Your Majesty, France now bears an army of nearly 550,000 men, and I can't imagine what it will be like if it can afford a reserve of the same size. And if so many people are recruited into the army at once, then it will also affect our development! Favre spoke excitedly to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

People who don't know Favre will definitely identify Favre as a politician who worries about the country and the people after hearing his words.

In fact, Favre was opposed to Jérôme. Bonaparte, only because Favre himself was simply unhappy with the Second Reich.

Favre can be said to put his likes and dislikes above the future of France.

"Mr. Favre!" Jérôme. Bonaparte calmly replied to Favre: "I can tell you unequivocally that four years of reserve service will not make a big difference!" Because all reservists who are called up only need to serve for a total of one year during the four-year period, and the service time is not less than three months per year, they can take indefinite leave!

There is no delay in farming at all, and during the period of reserve service, the salary of a reserve army is only 60% of that of a regular army!

Those in charge of service can report to the military near their location! ”

Jérôme. After Bonaparte explained the French reserve system, the entire chamber of the Palais Bourbon fell silent again.

Even Favre didn't expect that Jérôme. Bonaparte's military service system would have been so "humane" that he could not find any excuse to refute it.

After a while, the Bonapartist delegates who reacted immediately remembered the enthusiastic applause.

After a while of applause, Jérôme. Bonaparte turned his head to Björth, the speaker of the Legislative Council, and said to Björth with a solemn expression: "Speaker Björ, voting can begin!" ”

The Speaker of the Legislative Council, Björth, heard Jérôme. After Bonaparte's order, he hurriedly cleared his throat and announced that the vote on the proposal for the abolition of the National Guard had officially begun.

With the exception of a few republican delegates, the vast majority of delegates cast their ballots in favor.

The National Guard announced its adoption by the "unanimous consent" of the overwhelming majority of deputies, and then Jérôme. Bonaparte also presented to the Legislative Council the detailed proposal for the four-year reserve plan, which was also passed by the Legislative Council by a three-quarters majority.

Subsequently, in Favre's constipated expression, Jérôme. Bonaparte walked out of the Palais Bourbon with firm steps.

The next day, Jérôme. Bonaparte went to the Senate in person, where Jérôme was in the Senate. Bonaparte repeated what he had said yesterday in the Legislative Yuan.

The Senate also approved the two proposals by an overwhelming margin, and at the same time sent a telegram to Algiers and France mainland that afternoon.

When the commander of the National Guard of the Seine announced that it had been completely abolished, a small number of officers of the National Guard were entangled in asking the Tuileries for an explanation.

So they went together to the gates of the Tuileries Palace, shouting that they wanted to ask Jérôme. Bonaparte asked for an explanation.

The soldiers of the Guards of a battalion stationed near the Tuileries Palace were immediately ready on the road that was also necessary for the Tuileries Palace.

The officers of the National Guard, when they saw the rows of soldiers armed with Migne rifles, immediately calmed their feverish minds, and the group of officers of the National Guard began to negotiate the Guards to get out of the way so that they could go to the Tuileries Palace to ask for an explanation.

However, the officers of the Guards told them with a cold face that anyone who tried to break into the Tuileries Palace would be shot without receiving instructions from the Tuileries Palace.

The officers of the National Guard, who had no choice, had no choice but to stand still and wait for the Tuileries Palace to send someone to come and talk to them, and after a while, the Tuileries Palace did send someone.

"I said His Majesty's adjutant Vayan, if you want to talk to Your Majesty, you can tell me! I will definitely convey your words to Your Majesty as they are! Vayan stood in front of the officers of the National Guard and said to the officers of the National Guard.

The officers of the National Guard immediately surrounded the Vayan Corps, and you began to complain to General Vayan word by word.

Due to the sheer number of officers of the National Guard, Vayan felt only 10,000 flies buzzing in his ears, and he could not hear what the officers of the National Guard were saying.

So, Wayan shouted at the top of his voice: "Be quiet! Listen to me! ”

The officers of the National Guard immediately stopped talking and turned their gaze at Vayan at the same time.

"I can't hear you clearly!" Wayan said to the National Guard, "So, you should appoint a representative to talk to me!" ”

As soon as General Vayan spoke, the officers of the National Guard immediately began to talk.

After nearly 10 minutes of selection, they found the two highest-ranking people (colonels of the National Guard) to act as representatives in the negotiations and communicate with General Wayan.

After the two lieutenant colonels broke away from the large group, they came to General Wayan, and looking at the old boss in front of them, who had served as the commander-in-chief of the National Guard in the Seine Province, the two colonels were still a little frightened in their hearts, and they regretted that they had followed these officers to make trouble.

After all, one of them graduated from the École Polytechnique in Paris and the other from the College of Saint-Cyr, so it can be said that they both have great promises.

Now, it was not worth it for them to confront General Vayan for a group of guys who had never attended a military academy for a day (most of the middle and lower rank officers of the National Guard were elected by election).

"Is there anything you want to say to Your Majesty?" General Vayan asked the two colonels of the National Guard in a slightly dignified tone.

"I ...... We! ”

The National Guard trembled and told General Vaillant that they pleaded with Jérôme on behalf of all the officers and men of the National Guard in Seine. His Majesty Bonaparte does not want to disband the National Guard.

Their reasoning was that the National Guard was the most important force for the preservation of Paris, and that its hasty dissolution could cause irreparable damage to order in the entire Seine.

"Are you threatening Your Majesty?" General Wayan asked coldly with an aura of not being angry and arrogant.

"Nope! No! The colonel of the National Guard was so frightened that he hurriedly explained: "We don't want to threaten Your Majesty, we also think about Your Majesty!" ”

"For Your Majesty's sake?" General Vayan sneered and said to the colonel of the National Guard: "I think you are thinking about yourself!" Don't you just think that after the disbandment of the National Guard, you may be kicked out of the army, so you are not willing to disband! ”

The two colonels of the National Guard, who were speechless, did have such concerns.

Of course, it's not just the commanders of the National Guard who are also worried that they will be forced to retire.

It's just that they are much calmer than this group of National Guards.

"Now I can tell you unequivocally that the disbandment of the National Guard is not a decision made by His Majesty alone! It was a decision made after consultations between the General Staff, the Legislative Yuan, the Senate and the Senate! Therefore, no individual or group has any right to change it! General Vayan said loudly.

The two National Guard colonels and the middle and lowest-ranking officers of the National Guard behind them all looked disappointed, and now it seemed that their defeat this time was a foregone conclusion.

However, General Vayan then went on to say: "Although the organization of the National Guard will be abolished, the military command personnel within the National Guard will be retained as appropriate and incorporated into the reserve system of the army. ”

"Reserve system?" The two colonels of the National Guard looked at Vayan curiously.

"That's right! Reserve system! Vayan nodded and told the colonel of the National Guard about the structure of the reserve system.

After listening to General Wayan's explanation, everyone immediately realized that the so-called reserve system was not another way of saying the National Guard, but the National Guard required voluntary membership, and the reserve system was required to join it according to the regulations. (The reserve system and the active duty forces are subject to two sets of military service laws, the reserve requires universal military service, while the active duty forces require the substitute service system)

"So, you just have to go back and wait for the notification!" General Vayan addressed the officers of the National Guard who were present.

The officers of the National Guard, who heard that their positions might be incorporated into the ranks of reserve officers, immediately smiled on their faces, and they hastened to apologize for the storming of the Tuileries Palace.

"That's it! Now that you all know, go back! Vayan waved his hand and said to the officers of the National Guard.

The officers of the National Guard immediately left the Tuileries Palace, unbeknownst to them, not all of them could be integrated into the reserve system.

The prerequisite for integration into the reserve system is that you have participated in the regular army and have served in a certain rank in the regular army.

These two items alone are enough to kill a large number of elected officers.

Without the support of regular army officers, it would be impossible for those officers who relied on elections to succeed.

Over the next two weeks, the basic structure of the National Guard was completely dismantled.

The reserve system is also being established in an orderly manner.
