Napoleon II Reborn Chapter 25

The Paris Garrison Commander is located in the Thirty-First District on the north bank of the Seine, and the river is only about one kilometer away. The headquarters occupies an entire building. It is said that this was once the headquarters of the Jacobins, but after the Thermidor coup, it was used as the headquarters of the Paris City Defense Force. Later, when Napoleon came to power, it was changed to the Paris Garrison Command. In charge of all the gendarmerie units in Paris, as well as the Guards Corps stationed outside the city, the most elite troops in France with extremely high combat effectiveness. All soldiers are veterans who have participated in countless battles. Supplies and equipment are also given priority. . Belonging to Napoleon's direct troops, the commander of the legion is also Napoleon's most trusted Marshal Davout. It is also nominally under the control of the Paris Garrison Command. With them defending Paris, Napoleon was very assured of his own safety. The only thing he had to worry about were the assassins lurking everywhere. They seemed to be everywhere. But with the police minister Fouche adopting a series of repressive measures this year, overall, things are much better than before.

At the end of March, Paris is still a bit gloomy and cold. Although the winter has already ended, the street trees on both sides of the street have also sprouted, and a few new leaves have grown, bringing a ray of greenery and spring to the whole city. In the evening when the lights of Paris came on, there were very few pedestrians on the street, and it looked a little deserted. Occasionally, teams of gendarmes with live ammunition patrolled the street. As the front is now at war with the British, in order to prevent the destruction of enemy spies, Paris has imposed a curfew that has not been implemented for several years, and the number of soldiers participating in patrols has also increased greatly, and the cloud of war is gradually rising over Paris.

But all this has little impact on the common people in Paris. They are not afraid of war, or have become numb to war. Have they experienced less war in the past ten years? But Paris has never been affected by the flames of war, and the only thing that makes them feel the cruelty of the war is the death notices, some of which are their sons, husbands, fathers or friends. Only at this time will they feel the horror of war.

When it was time to get off work, Xiao Jie tidied up his things and was about to leave. Since the others had already gone back, he was the only one in the office. The people in their office are staff officers who don't need to do anything, they are all the children of some big families, they have no talent, and they are afraid of death, so they have to use the family relationship to get such a position here, and Napoleon needs these big families. The support of the family is to stabilize his rule, so he has no choice but to ignore these matters.

Turn off the lights and lock the door. Xiao Jie came out from inside. When he passed the gate, the guards saluted like a big salute, and Xiao Jie returned the salute. From the guard's eyes, Xiao Jie saw contempt. Xiao Jie, who was less than fifteen years old, had already taken the rank of captain, while the guard was just a corporal. But who knows, they are just relying on the power of their parents. Although he was afraid of the power behind these people and dared not speak out, but he definitely despised Xiao Jie and his gang of dudes long ago.

Xiao Jie saw all these, but he didn't say anything, he didn't want to explain anything, everything will be proved by time.

A gust of wind blew past, Xiao Jie tightened his coat subconsciously. Since the headquarters was not far from their home, Xiao Jie rejected the family's proposal to pick him up in a carriage, and insisted on walking to and from get off work every morning and evening. Although in Joseph's opinion, this would damage the family's aristocratic image, but since Xiao Jie insisted on doing so, there was nothing he could do about it.

Looking at the sky full of stars, Xiao Jie couldn't help feeling a little confused, not knowing how to face it. "The current Tuileries Palace should still be brightly lit. Napoleon must be tirelessly revising his war plan against Britain." Xiao Jie thought. He has no interest in this plan, and besides, he is not familiar with naval warfare at all, and the tactical ideas in his mind are also obtained from later generations of movies and TV. He knows how capable he is, and he will never take a risk if he is not sure about it. So he could only watch the warships of the French Navy sink one by one, and the sailors were drowned or bombed one by one, or walked into the British prisoner-of-war camps. In his opinion, Napoleon is like a prodigal son at this moment, defeating the strength of the French navy bit by bit, until finally disappearing from the ocean completely. No one would deny that Napoleon was a military genius and a great general, but it was all because of his ability to command the army in combat. When it comes to commanding the navy, he was still a bit worse than those outstanding admirals. Although Xiao Jie didn't feel distressed about the loss of those old wooden warships from the age of sail, in his opinion, those warships were already outdated, as the old saying goes, the new ones don't come. But the loss of those sailors made him feel distressed for a long time, and those are the reliance on which he will build a powerful navy in the future.

Since it was still early, he didn't want to go home yet. Besides, there must be no one when I go back. Both Joseph and Julie must have gone to the banquet held by someone who doesn't know. It can be said that their lives are completely spent in banquets, wearing masks every day, hypocritically talking and laughing with those who they don't like, or who are enemies at all, telling each other about their "friendship" . If it was him, he would definitely not be able to stay for a moment, so every time their family held a banquet, he would always go back very late. Although he also knew that he had to integrate into this so-called "upper society" so that his future development would be smooth sailing, but he always felt very awkward.

Unknowingly came to the river, blowing the river wind, Xiao Jie felt peaceful in his heart. Suddenly, a woman's cry came from a distance: "Help!"

"Hey, maybe someone molested a woman from a good family. That's just right, I can have a hero to save the beauty, but I must be blessed by God, it must be a beautiful woman, if it is a dinosaur, the loss outweighs the gain." Xiao Jie thought , and the original depressed mood was swept away, replaced by bursts of excitement. Xiao Jie quickly ran towards the source of the sound.

After running for about 300 meters, I found three young men flirting with a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old, UU reading www. The uukanshu.com girl curled up in a ball, resisting weakly. Due to the dim light, I couldn't see what the girl looked like, but judging by her voice, it shouldn't be too bad, so Xiao Jie jumped out and shouted: "Stop! You guys are so brave, how dare you go out in broad daylight?" What kind of crime should you be for molesting a woman from a good family. If you don't hurry up and get caught, you can let me wait for a way out.”

Everyone was stunned, even the three young men stopped their movements. They were stunned first, and then burst out laughing, looking at Xiao Jie as if they were looking at an idiot. Originally, Xiao Jie is only less than fifteen years old now, and he is only a little over 1.6 meters tall, and those three people are not big-bodied, but they are also much stronger than him.

A young man said: "Boy, I wanted to be a hero to save the beauty at a young age. I don't know if Mao Changqi is there?" Some of them laughed. Then one person was left to look at the girl, and another person pressed forward to Xiao Jie.

Xiao Jie felt a little sentimental in his heart, it was just a whim just now, he didn't expect to get involved with himself now. With his own skills, he might barely be able to deal with one, but he would be completely useless against the other two.

At this moment, the girl suddenly shouted: "Be careful behind!"

Xiao Jie turned around quickly, only to see a person holding a big stick swinging towards him, before he could react, his head came into close contact with the stick. Hearing the sound of "bang", Xiao Jie felt his head sink, and then touched it with his hand: it was hot and sticky.... Then the whole person fell crookedly, and the last bit of consciousness was: this time it's over, I didn't become a hero, but I paid for myself.
