Make France Great Again Chapter 123

"Bishop Antonelli!"

General Reño's eyes stared straight at Antonelli. Those dark blue eyes like gems seemed to be able to clearly see all the filth and filth deep in Antonelli's heart. The breath even frightened the minister beside the Pope to back several steps.

How could Antonelli, who was pampered in Rome and respected by the monarchs of various countries during his visits, had seen such a posture. He said to General Reno with a trembling voice: "General... General, am I right?"

General Reño continued to stare at Antonelli with his sharp eyes and said slowly, "Mr. Antonelli, don't you think a brief thank you is too cheap?"

"I..." Antonelli was speechless with his mouth open, he understood General Reño's subtext.

What a greedy guy!

Antonelli couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Right now is the time when French soldiers are needed to restore Rome for them. The only thing they can count on is the French Republic.

[PS: During the talks between France, Spain, Naples and Austria on the issue of the Papal State, Austrian diplomats obeyed the order of the new Austrian Foreign Minister and Prime Minister Prince Schwarzenberg to refuse to provide assistance to the Papal State, and will restore the Papal State to the Papal State. The task of France, in order to hold France back. The two countries, Naples and Spain, can only sway with the Austrian Empire because of their own lack of strength. All Pius IX could rely on was the French Republic. 】

"Cheap gratitude is certainly not enough to express His Majesty the Pope's gratitude to President Napoleon!" Antonelli showed a flattering smile, his body hunched slightly: "His Majesty the Pope told me that once he returns to Rome, he will continue in Rome. Spread the good news of God!"

Then, he said cautiously: "I personally think that Mr. President should not be satisfied with the position of the President. I believe that with God's blessing, Mr. President will be further promoted..."

General Reño, who had received the promise of Pope Pius IX, showed a smile on his tense expression, and his eyes that were as uncomfortable as beasts gradually changed into those of the grandfather next door.

Antonelli breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that General Reño basically agreed with the "return" plan he proposed.

At this point, Antonelli couldn't help but strengthen his courage and said: "Your Majesty's faithful hope that Bonaparte can return to their original position, and we also sincerely wish Bonaparte to be able to protect France from generation to generation!"

The Papal State, which once had some "great hatred" with the Bonaparte Empire, has become an "confederate army" of the Papal State today.

This undoubtedly shows that the Papal State can cooperate with any country, as long as they can ensure that their power is not violated in Central Italy.

Compared with the Papal State, which can hop freely in the diplomatic field, the Austrian Empire based on conservative diplomacy is more like a "religious" country full of rich flavor, and the master of this country, Joseph Franz, is even more of a Pope Pius IX the more conservative guy.

At least Pius IX had to implement conservative policies for his own power, and Joseph Franz himself was consistently conservative.

"I believe that Mr. President will be happy!" Reno nodded with satisfaction, and added: "If Mr. President is happy, we will be happy too!"

"Yes! Yes!" Antonelli nodded and bowed to General Reño.

At this moment, Edgar Ney ran in, and as the adjutant of General Reigno, he reported to Reigno: "Commander, we have received news that the first group of Garibaldi will be here today. Break through to St. John's Gate in the evening!"

Before General Reño could respond, Bishop Antonelli, who was standing beside him, blurted out: "They must not be allowed to break through!"

Bishop Antonelli, who was familiar with the situation in the Roman Republic, certainly knew of Garibaldi's "great deeds".

If this person is allowed to escape, there will be no peace in the Papal Kingdom.

In fact, Antonelli still hopes to establish an armed force that has always belonged to the Pope. The French army only needs to help the Papal State to restore the country.

Antonelli's words caught the eyes of General Reno and Edgar Ney.

After nearly a month of running-in, Edgar Ney and Reynho have already reached the "skill" that they can understand each other's thoughts only with eye hints. General Reynho's eyes signaled Edgar Ney to leave go.

After Edgar Ney saluted Reno, he left Antonelli alone without taking Antonelli seriously.

"Respected Commander!" Antonelli looked anxiously at General Regnio, and his words became more respectful.

"Don't worry! Bishop Antonelli, my soldiers and I will definitely keep Garibaldi here!"

After all, General Reño stomped his feet with his heels and emphasized: "Here (referring to the inner city of Rome) will be his burial place!"

"But, in case..." Antonelli said unwillingly.

"Don't worry! Your Excellency, I will personally supervise this battle!" General Reño assured Antonelli again, "How about you go to the battlefield with me and witness how the French soldiers killed Garibaldi!"

Antonelli was a little moved.

However, Reigno's next words dispelled Antonelli's thoughts: "I'm afraid that bullets won't have long eyes on the battlefield, in the event that your Excellency Bishop unfortunately sacrifices..."

Reinho shook his head and sighed, as if Antonelli's fate was doomed to die on the battlefield.

The courageous Antonelli shrank back in an instant.

The city of Rome is now full of rebels, who hate Bonaparte's loyal lackeys, and even more Antonelli's lackeys who follow the Pope.

The notorious Antonelli dared not put his safety on the French army.

"I'll forget it!" Antonelli squeezed a smile on his face and said humbly: "I will wait for the news of the general's victory in Civitavecchia!"

After all, Antonelli turned and left.

General Reño, who watched Antonelli leave, had a look of disdain on his face.

After saying goodbye to Antonelli, General Reño rushed to the battlefield and turned with Edgar Ney at the French front.

It was already 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and the afterglow of the setting sun swayed every light of it, just like the Roman Republic that is about to come to an end.

The French army that cleared the inner and outer ring of Rome was gradually approaching the east side of Rome, and they were trying to eat Garibaldi's entire team in Rome.

"Commander!" Edgar Ney, who was holding a command knife and ordered the soldiers to charge, looked at General Reno who was on the horse, and he hurried to General Reno and said anxiously: "Commander, the situation is urgent now, Garibaldi's The hunter [sniper] is secretly shooting our black guns, you better dismount!"

"Major Edgar!" General Reño, who was riding on the horse, didn't seem to hear Edgar Ney's dissuasion. In his opinion, if he dismounted himself, it would mean that he was afraid of the Garibaldi Chasseurs. This invisibly gave the French army a blow: "Call Brigadier General Niel over here!"

"Yes!" Edgar Ney, who saw that General Reño refused to dismount, had to order several cavalry soldiers to surround General Reño to protect the general, and he acted as a messenger for Ney near the Quilina Palace. Brigadier General El comes.

"Spyglass!" Regnio, who was riding on a horse, stretched out his hand and said to the cavalry beside him.

The cavalry handed his binoculars to General Reno, and General Regnio, holding the binoculars, saw the troop gathered around a few abandoned villas in the distance.

This team of nearly 1,000 people rushed to the positions they had abandoned with heavy artillery, and they wanted to regain the positions they had lost.

The French commander in charge of guarding the position is also a guy who is not afraid of death. The two sides are fighting in the ruins that have been smashed.

"That's right!" Reinho nodded with satisfaction, the French soldiers were already using their actions to prove that they were always brave and good at fighting.

Not long after, Brigadier General Niel and Edgar Ney came to General Reno, and the two of them saluted General Reno respectively.

"Brigadier General Niel, let your troops quickly shrink the encirclement, and compress the encirclement from Lalange Church to the vicinity of St. John's Gate!" General Reigno gave an order to Brigadier General Niel.

Brigadier General Niel showed a surprised expression. He learned from Edgar Ney that Garibaldi was about to break out of the St. John's Gate. He wondered why General Reigno would follow Garibaldi's wish.

However, as General Reño's subordinate, he only had to obey orders.

When Brigadier General Nierre was gone, the French troops in the distant villas were also victorious, with reinforcements.

General Reño looked at Edgar Ney and asked, "Major Edgar, how did you know that Garibaldivan broke through the St. John's Gate!"

"This..." Edgar Ney hesitated for a moment and then said to General Reno: "General, come with me!"

General Reño and Edgar Ney, who were riding on horses, came to a palace that had not yet turned into ruins, where they met a young missionary.

Edgar Ney introduced the too young monk's identity to General Reno.

General Reño quickly and respectfully addressed the monk as "His Royal Highness".

This is Lucien. Louis Napoleon, the nephew of Jerome Bonaparte.

"General, this is what I learned from my father! I hope it can help you!" Lucien-Louis Napoleon said to General Reno.

"Is Prince Cono in the house?" General Reigno asked cautiously.

"My father has no interest in politics, so..." Lucien Louis Napoleon showed an apologetic expression.

"Then we won't disturb Prince Kono!"
