Make France Great Again

Compared with Thiers who has "historical limitations", Jerome Bonaparte with "God's perspective" is obviously on the right path.

Since the Party of Order crushed him on the political capital of the National Assembly, why should he be confined within the framework of the National Assembly? Jumping out and crushing the framework of the National Assembly is the best choice for Jerome Bonaparte.

On May 20, after nearly two months of preparatory work, the General Staff of the Office of the Military Secretary, which is directly under the President, was formally established.

In order to show the importance attached by the President to the Office of the Secretary, Jerome Bonaparte specially asked Pessini to choose a suitable location near the Elysee Palace as the office of the Office of the President's Military Secretary.

Pessini ran around all the mansions near the Elysee Palace, and finally found a suitable residence.

After many inquiries, I found out that the original owner of the palace was Louis Philippe who was in exile in London.

Jerome Bonaparte, who wanted to nationalize the palace, gave up the idea because of the proportion of the Orleans faction in the party of Order.

Instead, discuss with Odilon Barrow about using the uninhabited palace as the office of the President's Military Secretary's Office.

Odi Lombaro immediately agreed with Jerome Bonaparte's idea. In his opinion, letting Jérôme Bonaparte play with his "little toys" was far less harmful than his idle meddling in politics.

After some chatting, Odi Lombarro euphemistically proposed the idea of ​​appropriating funds to Louis Philippe living in London. Jerome Bonaparte, who was unwilling to appropriate funds for Louis Philippe, had no choice but to talk about him.

On May 23, all the soldiers who were elected to the Office of the President's Military Secretary came to the newly established office early to wait for the arrival of President Jerome Bonaparte.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, an open gilt bridge carriage stopped at the downstairs of the Military Secretary Hall.

Looking at the eye-catching golden bee family emblem on the carriage, the officer in charge of guarding the gate of the secretary's hall hurriedly trotted in.

Not long after, three lieutenant colonel officers appeared at the door, and they trotted to greet them in a panic: "Mr. President!"

Jerome Bonaparte nodded one by one, and called out their names and military ranks: "Lieutenant Colonel Edmond Lebeuve, Lieutenant Colonel François Achielbazin, Lieutenant Colonel Louis Juert Roche!"

The three lieutenant colonels whose names were called all showed excited expressions. They didn't expect their names to be remembered by the president. Obviously, they underestimated the importance Jerome Bonaparte attached to the Office of the Secretary.

If Jérôme Bonaparte could know their thoughts, Jerome Bonaparte would definitely complain in his heart. The names of the three of you are also well known in the textbooks of later generations.

Edmond Lebouf, the future Marshal of the French Empire, succeeded the dead Nière as Minister of War, and was also the last Minister of War of the Second Empire. During the Franco-Prussian War, he followed his cousin into the cage that Bismarck carefully prepared for them. .

François Achilbazin, the future marshal of the French Empire, "commanded" France's war in Mexico. During the Franco-Prussian War, he was besieged by the old Moltke in Metz. 170,000 troops surrendered without bloodshed. France has since lost The last field army.

Trochu served as the Governor of Paris and the commander of the National Guard during the Franco-Prussian War. Later, the Second Empire was overthrown and served as the President of the National Defense Government. Afterwards, he negotiated the surrender of France with Thiers and others.

If old Moltke, Ron, and Bismarck are called the three heroes of the German Empire, then Lebouf, Bazin, and Trochu are called the three heroes of the empire's destruction.

When Jerome Bonaparte got the list for the first time, he almost doubted whether it was a hint from God.

Others are crouching dragon and phoenix chicks, but I have one more crouching dragon and phoenix chicks.

Of course, the complaints are the complaints. Jerome Bonaparte still has some understanding of the Franco-Prussian War. The problems of the Second Empire in the Franco-Prussian War were not all mistakes in military command, but deeper system and institutional problems.

The French army of 400,000 will join the Prussian army of 1,000,000 in the second phase of reserve service.

Even if the French army has three heads and six arms, it is impossible to win,

So when Liueli handed over the officers' materials to Jérôme Bonaparte, Jerome Bonaparte did not veto them. He believed in the subjective initiative of people and was willing to give them the opportunity to learn.

"Mr. President, hello!" Le Boeuf, the oldest of the three lieutenant colonels, shouted respectfully to Jerome Bonaparte.

Seeing this, Bazin and Trochu also showed due respect to Jerome Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte smiled and held out his hand to shake hands with them.

Under the leadership of Le Boeuf and others, Jerome Bonaparte came to a hall that could accommodate 200 people.

All the members of the secretary hall lined up in a square formation and stared at the front with solemn expressions.

Jerome Bonaparte, who met them for the first time, shook hands and asked their names and ages.

Jérôme Bonaparte, who questioned everyone carefully, has until now fully grasped all the information of the officers.

Generally speaking, this is a group of young men. Except for a small number of 40-year-old officers, most of the officers are generally around 2030 years old. At the same time of actual combat experience, the brain has not become stubborn. Jerome Bonaparte just needs this kind of sharpness to become a military commander.

"sit down!"

On the orders of Jérôme Bonaparte, the officers sat down in order of rank.

Le Boeuf and Bazin sat on either side of Jerome Bonaparte.

"Everyone, I think you have many doubts in your heart!" Jerome Bonaparte glanced at all the officers present. From their eyes, he saw confusion, apprehension, and the never-ending ambition.

This is the guy I'm looking for! Ambition can drive them to serve me and crush all enemies in the name of the country!

There was a smile on the corner of Jerome Bonaparte's mouth, and he said calmly: "You want to ask what is the Secretary's Office? What functions do they have! In more blatant words, what benefits can he bring us!"

Everyone present did not speak, but their eyes had already spoken for them.

"If I told you that the Office of the President's Military Secretary is an auxiliary agency, would you still be happy to continue working?" Jerome Bonaparte changed the subject and said, putting his hand on the table.

"Of course!" Lieutenant Colonel Bazin was the first to express his loyalty to Jerome Bonaparte: "Since Mr. President has transferred us from Algiers, we are ready!"

"That's right!"

"Yes!"

Many people echoed Lieutenant Colonel Bazin's.

Jérôme Bonaparte nodded in satisfaction. No matter when, flattery is never disgusting, provided that the flattery has to be lined up.

"Your organization is somewhat special!" Jerome Bonaparte stared at everyone present with sharp eyes: "It is special in that your every move is related to the lives and deaths of tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people. .”
