Make France Great Again Chapter 346

Jerome Bonaparte did not hesitate to refuse the request of the several old Bonapartist generals in front of him to stop the reform.

Afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte handed the petition back into their hands, and mercilessly ordered the expulsion: "Please take this petition! Get out of here immediately!"

"Your Majesty! For the sake of our life and death for the Empire!" The old general was obviously a little unwilling, and he pleaded again to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Humph! Born to die for the empire?" Jerome Bonaparte had a smile on the corner of his mouth. This smile was different from the kind smile before, but a kind of ridicule and contempt: "What qualifications do you have to talk about devotion with me? …”

With that said, Jerome Bonaparte pointed to one of the old generals who had gone on an expedition to the Russian Empire and said word by word: "You...what did you do after my uncle abdicated!"

"I..." The old general who was accused by Jerome Bonaparte was at a loss for words.

The old general who claimed to be willing to be loyal to Napoleon quickly took refuge in the restoration of Bourbon after Emperor Napoleon abdicated, and obtained the opportunity to be promoted and rich in the hands of the restoration of Bourbon.

After Jérôme Bonaparte came to power, he brazenly declared himself a Bonapartist and considered himself the emperor's most loyal guard.

"What did you do when the Bourbon dynasty was restored for the second time..." Jerome Bonaparte pointed to another general who was wounded in the Battle of Leipzig and asked loudly.

The general was also speechless. After the Bourbon dynasty was re-established, in order to express his complete surrender to the new dynasty, he turned into a tainted witness and sat at the trial table to judge his former colleagues.

Many of his colleagues were killed by his guns, and now he also stands before Jerome Bonaparte to express his allegiance to the emperor.

Next, Jerome Bonaparte pointed out what these so-called generals loyal to Bonaparte did after the death of Emperor Napoleon.

The generals present felt a little ashamed. It's just that the "thick skin" developed in the French military and political circles over the years will not cause extreme emotions because of one or two insulting words.

"Your Majesty, the empire is defeated! We have no choice but to!" The generals wanted to wash away their original stains.

"A last resort?" Jerome Bonaparte still showed a mocking expression at the corners of his mouth, he raised his head slightly and faced them with contempt: "If you are forced to do so, then those who serve the empire What is a general who lost his life? What happened to Marshal Ney, Marshal Moncey, Marshal Murat! Marshal Moncey would rather give up his title than attack his former colleagues!

Compared with them, what great deeds have you done for the Empire! Yes! You have been born and died for the empire, but the empire has not treated you badly either, and there is not much that should be given to you! Even if my uncle owed you a little back then, did I ever owe you? Double annual salary, committee consultant, which one is not given to you by me! You feel your conscience and think about it, what the empire owes you!

Which item of all you do can match those marshals, you say! As long as I can say one, I can consider it! "

Jérôme Bonaparte's remarks made the old generals silent in front of them. They were indeed not qualified to be compared with those long-established marshals who were military bureaucrats at the rank of colonel during the First Empire!

Seeing that the generals present were not speaking, Jerome Bonaparte hit the railroad while it was still hot: "Now it's just a small change, you can't wait to carry my uncle's flag to stop me! You are really good generals under my uncle! "

Jerome Bonaparte accentuated his tone on "good generals", further showing his contempt for such self-confident generals.

"Your Majesty, we are just worried..." The generals wanted to justify their actions.

"Worrying? Worrying about what?" Jerome Bonaparte did not show any sympathy for them. "Worrying that your rights will be affected? Worrying that your faction will be weakened? Or that you will not be able to gain more benefits. What you are doing now is not saving the French army at all, you are trying to destroy the entire French army!

What have you learned in the decades that my uncle was gone? "

Before waiting for the generals to reply, Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and said: "You have not learned anything, you are still immersed in the broken dreams of the past, but you have not noticed any changes in the world!

The guerrilla warfare in the Algiers region has made you completely forget how to conduct a full-scale war, and at best your level is limited to fighting with small units in a limited area!

Yes! The battalion of Joave is indeed powerful, but how many troops like this are there in the whole of France!

wake up! France is groaning, it is sliding towards the abyss of depravity!

I don't ask you to be able to reshape the French army, at least you should learn to shut up! All you have to do is watch silently! "

Suddenly, several old generals seemed to have seen the emperor at the time, and he also scolded them like this now...

After the reprimand was over, Jerome Bonaparte called Mocart again and ordered Mocarr to send back several old generals.

The old generals who were reprimanded by Jerome Bonaparte left the Tuileries Palace as if they had lost their souls. Their plans to ask Jerome Bonaparte to give in through petitions have all failed. .

When the other members of the staff college sent to the old general's house to ask how things were going on the old generals, the old generals shook their heads and closed the door.

The next day, a document "On How to Reorganize the French Military Academy" issued by the Chief of Staff of the General Staff, Marshal St. Arnault.

The document analyzes the pros and cons of many colleges, such as the Saint-Cyr Institute, the Ecole Supérieure de Paris, and the Paris Staff College. In particular, it severely criticizes the Paris Staff College for messing around with small circles, not working seriously, and ranking according to qualifications.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that behind Marshal Saint Arnault is Jerome Bonaparte, and the members of the Staff Academy can't find any good solutions for a while.

Protest? Useless! Rebellion? dare not!

The academy of staff, who spent several days in a daze, finally ushered in his deadliest blow.

On July 4th, Marshal St. Arnault, Chief of the General Staff of the General Staff, hoped that all staff officers in France (mostly the staff academies) could participate in a "fair", "just" and "open" attendance and win the victory The best members can continue to stay, and the excellent members can even be promoted.

Those who lose will need to face the risk of rebuilding, and for those who do not want to be members, France will order retirement.

The time for attendance is set a month later, which is August 1.

The theme of attendance is nothing more than actual combat exercises, coordination of various arms, and war games.

If it is a staff officer who works **** the ground, then these exercises are simply a piece of cake for them.

For those members of the staff academy who have long lost their basic skills, this is undoubtedly a disaster.

A number of academic staff members of somewhat well-off families applied to the War Department for retirement, which was approved by the Minister of War, Cousin Montauban, at the direction of Jérôme Bonaparte.

Perhaps in order not to leave behind the infamy of killing donkeys, Jerome Bonaparte also specifically instructed Cuzanne Montauban to pay 1.5 times the retirement annuity on the basis of their current level.

For a time, nearly 30 more staff officers of the Ministry of War withdrew from the active duty units of the army.

Under the criticism of Marshal Saint Arnault, the Paris Staff College also did not dare to relax in the slightest.

Those officers who finally got involved in the Paris Staff College were only forced to get involved again.

At the same time, the officers of the staff college were also surprised to find that, for some unknown time, there were many unfamiliar faces in the staff college that they had never seen before, and they hurried to the staff college in plain clothes. Listen to the class and leave in a hurry after the class is over.

It was only after they asked the class teacher that they realized that these guys were their seniors, and the reason why they came here to listen to the class was probably to deal with the subsequent surprise test.

The change of the college is not yet known. After that, the French Emperor Jerome Bonaparte also came here as if he heard some rumors. He praised the Staff College for having so many students~www.mtlnovel.com~ and praised the Staff College The cradle of the French army.

This flattered the leadership of the Staff College, who led Jérôme Bonaparte to tour the entire school.

Afterwards, the Emperor of the Empire was in the same room with the President and Dean of the Staff College and seemed to be discussing something.

The day after Jerome Bonaparte left, the provost of the Staff College immediately announced that the Staff College would open two more courses on the original basis, one of which was related to the railway and the other was related to the telegraph.

The teachers of the two courses are candidates from the Ministry of Railways and the Telegraph Bureau, and the Provost also announced that starting this year, there will be a "final" examination between the railway and the telegraph every year.

The form of the exam is a combination of actual combat and theory, and the purpose is to make the officers master the corresponding instructions.

Moreover, in the last semester of the college, each college has to go to the Ministry of Railways and the Telegraph Bureau for a six-month internship (three months for the Ministry of Railways and three months for the Telegraph Bureau), so that they can graduate smoothly.

Under the double pressure of Jerome Bonaparte and Saint Arnault, the General Staff College also began to madly introvert.
