The news of Colonel Conrobert's appointment as aide-de-camp to President Jérôme Bonaparte quickly spread throughout Paris through the reports of the "Bonaparte".

The people of Paris began to be curious about the colonel who was kissed by the Prince and President. In order to meet the gossip needs of the people of Paris, "Bonaparte" focused on "deeply digging" the life story of Colonel Conrobert in the next few issues. , Under the description of the pen of the "Bonaparte", one story after another in the style of romance has swept the entire Paris circle.

The people of Paris were surprised to find that there was such a "strong general" in France. Rumors about Jerome Bonaparte's "wisdom" who knew the talent spread in Paris, and the adjutant Canrobert became the "general star" ", Jerome Bonaparte has also become a veritable "Little Napoleon".

This kind of down-to-earth propaganda has once again increased Jerome Bonaparte's popularity, linking Jerome Bonaparte with Emperor Napoleon, making Parisians' threshold for future coups lower and easier to accept Change.

After all, the enthusiasm of the Parisians for revolution will gradually disappear with the "revolution" and "failure" again and again.

Not to mention that the people of the Seine have gradually become accustomed to the in and out of the army.

If there are fewer soldiers going in and out, they may not be used to it.

Compared with the random guesses of the citizens of Paris, the officers who attended the banquet obviously understood "what happened" better.

In their eyes, Conrobel belongs to the first person to "eat crabs".

The officers scolded Canrobert in their mouths, accusing him of kowtowing to Jérôme Bonaparte in order to obtain a minister. At the same time, how could they not envy Canrobert for getting such a good opportunity?

Under the policy of Jerome Bonaparte's daughter to buy horse bones, more and more people moved closer to the Elysee Palace in order to gain power.

A warm wind blew away the cold snap of January and February, as well as the tension in Paris.

Although the spring equinox has passed, the weather in Paris is still a little cool.

While Parisians took off their padded clothes one after another, they added a coat to the inner lining.

Jerome Bonaparte was no exception. After taking off his slightly bloated coat, he put on a black Flack corset. He was paired with brown-red Kiley trousers and black leather shoes. He looked like a bourgeois upper-class gentleman. .

At this time, he was sitting in the study of the Elysee Palace, with a burly figure, but a slightly bald Colonel Conrobert, wearing a blue National Guard uniform, stood beside Jerome Bonaparte. Sitting across from him is the French Minister of War Liueli.

Jerome Bonaparte introduced Conrobert to Liuelli: "Minister Liuelli, this is my adjutant Colonel Canrobert!"

Hearing Jérôme Bonaparte introducing himself, Conrobert's waist became more straight.

"That's right! Like a battle-hardened soldier!" Liuelli nodded with satisfaction, extended an olive branch to Conrobel and said, "How is it? Are you interested in coming to our War Department for a seat!"

Conrobel did not answer Minister Liuelli, he understood why he was able to receive an olive branch from the Minister of War.

In the final analysis, because of President Jerome Bonaparte, the difference between a colonel and the Minister of War is the difference between an ordinary person and a multi-millionaire. Unless it is summoned by the Ministry of War, it is impossible for an ordinary colon to meet several times. Minister of War.

As for determining whether he is a good person or not by his standing posture, it is Liueli's polite words.

If standing upright can gain the closeness of the Minister of War, Conrobel believes that there must be many people who are willing to train day and night in order to get close to the Minister of War.

When the training is completed one day, the Minister of War may have already been transferred.

Conrobel's silence put the scene into an awkward situation.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting increasingly anxious, Jerome Bonaparte hurriedly said: "I can't ask for it! Minister Liueli, I remember that your War Department still lacks a secretary of state, right?"

"We..." Liu Eli, who was about to say there was no shortage, changed his tune instantly. He nodded and said, "Yes! The Ministry of War now lacks a responsible and courageous secretary of state!"

Immediately, Liueli looked at Conrobel again and said, "We just need someone like Conrobel!"

"Conrobert!" Jerome Bonaparte said.

Conrobel, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke again: "Yes! Your Majesty!"

"I don't know if you are interested in being the Secretary of State for the War Department! This is also a kind of exercise for you."

Since Liuelli gave Jerome Bonaparte an opportunity to intervene in the Ministry of War, then Jerome Bonaparte would be sorry for Liuelli's "hard work" if he did not intervene. Jerome Bonaparte was euphemistic. Convey to Conrobel that he wants to control the War Department.

Conrobert, who has been in the army for more than ten years, obviously understood what Jerome Bonaparte meant, and he immediately said: "I am willing to follow the orders of Your Excellency the President and the Minister~www.novelhall.com~ Go to the War Department to exercise!"

"The Ministry of War welcomes a soldier who has made a difference like you!" Liuelli smiled and said to Conrobel.

Afterwards, he turned his attention to Jerome Bonaparte and complained to himself: "I've had enough of those soldiers in the War Department who ate their corpses. It's better to say that they are a group of politicians than soldiers."

"Don't be impatient, Mr. Minister!" Jerome Bonaparte pressed his right hand and said: "The operation of the army cannot be separated from bureaucrats, and of course it cannot be separated from those wars that really dare to fight! There is no bureaucratic coordination. An army that plans logistics will only fall into chaos before the war, and an army without a spirit will also not be able to win. We must learn to combine the two, so that they can effectively organize logistics and allow them to have war power!"

"Your Excellency, this is too difficult!" Liueli complained, and immediately praised the conversation: "Except for the emperor and the marshals who follow the emperor, they can take into account the characteristics of both!"

"Mr. Minister, since there are still some gaps in our specific marshals, why don't we use an effective system to make up for individual wisdom." Jerome Bonaparte put his hands on the table, "Sometimes, A mature system is more important than a single genius general! After all, a genius general is something that cannot be found, but a mature system can run smoothly.”

"Your Excellency, what should I do?" Minister Liueli put on a posture that he didn't want to study.

"The Ministry of War should plan its powers and responsibilities, and part of it should be political-related work or military-related work. Military work should not allow political personnel to intervene, otherwise there will be behaviors where laymen guide experts, and the same is true for political work. "
