Make France Great Again

Chapter 172 St. Arnaud Chief of Staff

Jerome Bonaparte certainly understands that some people will choose to oppose the complete integration of the Office of the President's Military Secretary and the Ministry of War.

However, he didn't care about the objections of the military bureaucrats in the Ministry of War. Cleaning up the Ministry of War had become a must in Jerome Bonaparte's mind.

Those who are not willing to follow the steps of Jerome Bonaparte can follow Louis Philippe.

"It should be killed! It should be caught! I don't believe that they don't have any stains, you just need to catch their stains and make a fuss!" Jerome Bonaparte said to General Renault with a sneer.

"Yes!" General Renio responded meticulously.

"That's right! Brigadier General Conrobert recommended someone to me after he left office, and he will assist you in managing the Ministry of War!" Jerome Bonaparte calmly appointed Minister Regno as Secretary of State in a flat tone. power taken away.

General Reinho's expression showed a hint of surprise. Could it be that the president is worried about him?

However, he still chose to follow Jerome Bonaparte's orders.

"It's not that I don't trust you, it's because of your personality, the minister...I assure you that the new Secretary of State will follow your instructions!" In order to prevent misunderstandings with Minister Reinho, Jerome Pou Naba made a point of explaining.

"Your Excellency, I would like to know who is the Secretary of State of the Ministry of War!" Minister Reinho asked in a low voice.

"General Saint-Arnault!" Jerome Bonaparte responded immediately: "He will come to Paris in the near future and serve as my adjutant."

After Jerome Bonaparte chatted with Minister Regnol for a while, Minister Reignor left.

...

On October 30, after nearly a month of waiting.

Waudrey finally returned to Paris, and he came to Paris with General Saint-Arnaud and two captains.

They were arranged by Pessini to a different room to wait for Jerome Bonaparte's audience.

"Didn't anything happen on the way back?" Jerome Bonaparte in the study asked Waudrey with a tired expression.

"Your Majesty, no!" Vaudrey responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

He didn't want to tell Jerome Bonaparte that he was almost imprisoned for some reason. These things may be a big thing for him, but they are insignificant things for the president.

Although he can ask the president to arrest all these people, this is just killing chickens with a sledgehammer, and the president's affection for everyone will become weaker as they ask for it again and again.

"Hmm!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded, and continued, "General Saint-Arnault and Captain Mignet, where are they now?"

"Your Majesty, I have placed them in the reception room! They are waiting for your call at any time!" Wadley asked again in a cautious tone: "Do you want to, I will call them over to meet you!"

"No need!" Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and said, "Let's go! Take me to meet them!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Under the leadership of Vaudrey, Jerome Bonaparte first came to the reception room where St. Arno was.

The door of the reception room opened slowly. When the door opened, Jerome Bonaparte looked inside the door. Standing outside the door, he saw General Saint-Arnault.

At this time, General San Arnaud was sitting on a chair dignifiedly.

He has a head of gray hair, each head is slightly curly, giving people the feeling of being slightly ironed in later generations, and a bushy mustache hangs around his mouth.

The face is dignified and the brows are furrowed tightly, giving people a cautious and reliable feeling.

Perhaps it was because of the battle in Algeria that made General Saint-Arnault's skin darker than that of ordinary people, but it was not as dark as the old civil engineering brother Jerome Bonaparte saw on the Internet.

Although it is said that St. Arnaud came all the way from Algeria, he is still full of energy and does not feel like he has been traveling for a long time.

Compared with General San Arnaud, who has been fighting all the year round, Waudrey is obviously somewhat deficient.

Since Jerome Bonaparte's appearance is somewhat similar to that of Emperor Napoleon, General Saint-Arnault also heard a lot of news from Paris in the colony, which made him see Jerome Bonaparte's first It was immediately obvious that Jérôme Bonaparte was the President.

"Your Excellency the President!" General Saint-Arnault hastily stood up to greet Jerome Bonaparte.

"General, sit down!" Jerome Bonaparte raised his hand to signal the general to sit down.

The general with his butt hanging in mid-air had to obey Jerome Bonaparte's order to sit down.

Jerome Bonaparte walked quickly to St. Arnaud's side and sat down.

The servant placed two cups of coffee on the round table in front of the two of them.

"You're welcome, General!" Jerome Bonaparte once again extended his hand to invite General Saint-Arnault to have a cup of coffee.

"Yes!" Saint Arnaud took a sip of coffee and swallowed it down.

After St. Arnaud swallowed it completely, Jerome Bonaparte said: "General, I heard about you from Colonel Trochu! I don't know, are you willing to do it for France and me? Serve!"

"Of course!" St. Arnaud responded decisively with a trembling voice: "Your Excellency... Thank you for thinking of me as a veteran... I will use all my abilities to repay your trust in me!"

"General, trust is not just in words!" Jerome Bonaparte said to St. Arnaud with a smile on his face: "General, as far as I know, you have many colleagues in the War Department. If they get in the way When it comes to the construction of the country, what will you do..."

"I will firmly carry out the orders you gave me!" General Saint-Arnault said to Jerome Bonaparte firmly: "If a soldier cannot thoroughly implement the president's orders, then he is not a pure Soldiers! In my opinion, soldiers take executing orders as their bounden duty, and those who cannot decisively execute orders are not worthy of being called soldiers! Such people are not worthy of staying in the army, even if they are my friends, I will eliminate them without hesitation!"

After General San Arnaud received the presidential letter from Waudrey, he already knew that this was an opportunity, and he had to firmly grasp the opportunity.

For a soldier who has been frustrated for many years, every opportunity needs to be cherished, and his time is no longer allowed to wait.

Whoever dares to block his way forward, he will crush the opponent without hesitation.

Not to mention his former colleagues, even his relatives and friends are no exception.

Jerome Bonaparte heard the determination from General Saint-Arnault's words, and the ambition hidden behind the decision. He needed people like General Saint-Arnault to help him complete the final coup d'état.

"General, I think it is entirely possible for you to serve as Minister of War!" Jerome Bonaparte first encouraged General St. Arnaud, and then said to General St. Arnaud with a regretful expression: "Unfortunately, General Regno has already served as Minister of War." Secretary of War, may I ask you to condescend to take the post of Secretary of State!"

"Of course!" For San. Arnaud, what position he holds is not an important thing, what is important is to be able to maintain friendship with the president.

"General Saint-Arnault, you will take over all the positions of Brigadier General Canrobert. While you serve as adjutant and secretary of state, you will also be responsible for the Office of the Military Secretary! At present, the Office of the Military Secretary is seamlessly connecting with the Ministry of War. I I hope you can work with Minister Regno to bridge the conflict between the Office of the Military Secretary and the Ministry of War!" Jerome Bonaparte said to St. Arnaud with a serious expression: "I don't want the Ministry of War and the Office of the Military Secretary What a big problem happened during the docking process!"

"I assure you that there will be no problems!" General Saint-Arnault bowed to Jerome Bonaparte, and responded decisively: "If there is any mistake, I am willing to ask myself to leave!"

"Okay! I believe you!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded slightly. He was very satisfied with St. Arnaud's decisive attitude. He believed that St. Arnaud would do his best to complete the tasks he had assigned to him.

In order to motivate General St. Arnaud, Jérôme Bonaparte revealed a message to St. Arnaud: "General, I can tell you that the duty of the Office of the Military Secretary is to designate the department of combat planning and operations in the future. I will After the Ministry of War is completely stabilized, all the war-related functions of the Ministry of War will be deprived and integrated into the Office of the Military Secretary! At that time, the Office of the Military Secretary will become the highest organ in France to control the army, you can also call it the General Staff , and you will be the Chief of Staff of the Army!"

"Chief of the General Staff?!" Jerome Bonaparte's promise made St. Arnaud's blood almost boil, and he remembered Emperor Napoleon's chief of the General Staff, Berthier, since His Excellency said that the General Staff is in In the future, it will become an institution commanding the entire army, so he, the chief of staff, may have greater power than Berthier.

I will go down in history!

San Arnaud shouted frantically in his heart.

St. Arnaud's expression was seen by Jerome Bonaparte. He patted St. Arnaud on the shoulder and said: "That's right! By that time, you will become the supreme commander of the entire army!"

"No! You are the supreme commander of the army!" St. Arnaud bowed humbly to Jerome Bonaparte: "The emperor created the army, and as his nephew, you deserve the supreme command! I will Crush all enemies for you!"

After Jerome Bonaparte talked with General St. Arnaud for nearly an hour, Jerome Bonaparte briefly explained to St. Arnaud the political changes in Paris and the problems he was about to face Temporarily separated from St. Arnaud.

After leaving St. Arnaud's room, Jerome Bonaparte came to another door. What he was about to meet was Captain Minie who brought the musket to the peak.
