The white-shirted soldiers at Les Invalides were not the only ones who felt unbelievable about Count Isaac's resignation. This news also caused an uproar at the Paris Military Academy.

In just two days, the dispute between the Shire Gang and Earl Isaac had spread throughout the military academy.

Almost no students believed the statement in the newspaper about the harmonious negotiation between the two parties. On that dark and stormy night, many students witnessed it with their own eyes. The members of the Shire Gang were fully armed and galloped to the Moon Lake Manor.

He returned to the military academy smelling of blood.

What shocked the students even more was that in the outside world, both the government and the palace seemed to have accepted the statement in the report and did not do anything to deal with the students who attacked Yuehu Manor.

Rumor has it that some nobles who knew the inside story were very dissatisfied with this treasonous and violent act, and jointly submitted a petition to the palace, requesting His Majesty the King to investigate and punish all students involved in this attack case.

But the petition was said to have only been on the table for ten minutes before His Majesty the King indifferently threw it into the stove.

As a result, even among the nobles who knew the inside story of that night, no one was stupid enough to seek justice for Count Isaac.

Even within the military academy, the cadets who participated in the operation that day only received a mild demerit for going out in violation of school rules. It is said that this was a punishment personally issued by the principal, General Balor.

Even the members of the Charles Gang did not expect that Count Isaac, whom they regarded as their top enemy, would roll out of Paris in despair.

Naturally, Lawrence would not treat his subordinates badly, risking jail time or even their lives to follow him.

The next day, Lawrence announced to the gang that Earl Isaac had given him the entire Moon Lake Manor as compensation.

Lawrence promised in front of everyone that this manor would become the residence of the gang, and its attached land would become the common property of all members. Any gang member would have a share of the property rights in this manor and have the right to withdraw from the manor.

Get your own share of the profits.

For many members, from now on, the rich and fertile Moon Lake Manor will be their second home in Paris.

The members of the Shire Gang were stunned on the spot after receiving the news, and then everyone couldn't help but cheer.

Many of them are civilian students from other places and their financial conditions are quite tight.

These students never imagined that Charles Bornaparte, who also came from a poor background, would donate this huge property worth millions or even tens of millions of livres to the gang for free.

After all, the members knew in their hearts that they were able to stay in the military academy unharmed after the attack on Moon Lake Manor. This credit was due to the mysterious battalion commander Charles.

Even if Charles Bornaba completely occupies Moon Lake Manor, or holds most of the property rights in his own hands, the gang members' rationality tells them that Charles Bornaba deserves it.

Therefore, when the members received this extremely valuable property and income right, it was a complete surprise for them. Relying on the income from the manor land, even the poorest and most impoverished students were shaken overnight.

He became a member of the middle class in Paris.

When other students in the military academy heard the news, they were all filled with envy and regretted why they had not submitted their applications earlier.

In today's Paris Military Academy, the Charles Gang has become the most popular student organization.

They took control of the Student Association, solved the biggest crisis of Earl Isaac, and provided valuable welfare guarantees to the members. There was unimaginable unity and cohesion within the gang, and they were able to mobilize everyone to kill with swords for the safety of one person.

to the estate of an earl.

Today, this gang has become the target of all students, and any member of the Shire Gang can proudly hold his head high in the military academy.

In the past, Berthier would still worry about whether anyone would really join this ridiculous little gang, but now his worry has become how to deal with the pile of membership applications that are as tall as one person.

Several military academy teachers and administrators even wrote letters to Lawrence, vaguely expressing their interest in the student gang and suggesting that they could join the gang as instructors.

For Lawrence, his biggest goal of coming to the Paris Military Academy has been basically achieved.

The next thing to do is to expand the scale of the gang while strengthening his control over the gang. At the same time, he will accompany Prince Louis in the military academy and quietly wait for the external situation to change.

...

On May 15, almost three months after the three Lawrences arrived at the Paris Military Academy.

In the early morning, as the battalion commander, Lawrence routinely organized the 21st cadet battalion to gather on the training ground, waiting for the arrival of Lieutenant Colonel Shadis.

After a while, Lieutenant Colonel Shadis, who was still drunk, yawned and staggered over.

However, today's Lieutenant Colonel Shadis did not start the training immediately. Instead, he first called Lawrence in front of him, looked at him with a strange expression for a while, and whispered:

"You don't need to train today. A big shot wants to see you and is waiting in the reception room of the Executive Yuan."

"Big shot?" Lawrence asked casually, but was not surprised.

After Louis XV became ill, relying on the mediation of the Duke of Orleans, the regent, the situation in Paris was relatively calm for more than three months.

But Lawrence could foresee early on that this peace could not be maintained for long.

Now it seems that, for better or worse, the undercurrents surging in this calm pool are gradually beginning to surface.

Lieutenant Colonel Shadis curled his lips and pretended to be impatient and said:

"I heard it's an adult from the Palace of Justice. Go quickly and don't make people wait."

"Yes, sir." Lawrence smiled, nodded, turned and left.

Lieutenant Colonel Shadis sighed, glanced at Lawrence's back worriedly, hesitated for a few seconds and suddenly said:

"Boy, if you encounter any trouble, just come to me. You may not be able to help me. The White Shirt Army and I both owe you a favor for that time with Earl Isaac."

In the eyes of Lieutenant Colonel Shadis, this guy might have been approached by people from the Palace of Justice because of what happened to Count Isaac last time.

Although Lieutenant Colonel Shadis would not care about anyone on the surface, his love for soldiers and soldiers is hidden in his bones, not to mention his favorite disciple Charles Bornaba.

Lieutenant Colonel Dees is willing to pay any price to save it.

Lawrence stopped, turned to look at Lieutenant Colonel Shadis, and said with a smile:

"Thank you, sir."

Lieutenant Colonel Shadis sighed again, suppressed the worry in his heart, waved his hands and cursed with a smile:

"Okay, okay, stop dawdling and get out... The rest of you, stop looking around for me! Charlie, you come out as acting battalion commander. Today you will teach the command points of marching and shooting on the battlefield. Please cheer up!"

...

After a while, Lawrence rushed to the Military Academy Administration Hall alone and was taken into a spacious and bright reception room by an assistant judge who had been waiting here.

Waiting in the reception room was Lawrence's old acquaintance - the French Chancellor, Louis XV's confidant, the Marquis de Maupe.

"Hahaha, long time no see, Chief Bonaparte."

Justice Maupp glanced at Lawrence's infantry uniform and laughed heartily:

"How was life in military school?"

"Ma-so-huhu, my main job is to serve His Highness." Even though it was just a pleasantries between two people, Lawrence still said without missing a beat:

"But I really didn't expect you to come there in person. What's the big deal?"

Justice Mopu nodded, became a little more serious, took out a stack of documents from the briefcase in his hand, and sorted them out slowly:

"Of course, His Majesty the King's coronation ceremony is coming soon. This is a big event. I'm afraid you, the protagonist, can no longer stay in the military academy."

The formal coronation ceremony of Louis XV as King of Corsica had long been left to Chancellor Maupe.

Lawrence and Justice Maupe initially agreed to hold the ceremony in late spring. However, due to the Paris riots at the beginning of the year and Madame Du Barry's incident, which irritated His Majesty the King, Louis XV's physical condition deteriorated sharply, and the time for the coronation ceremony was also changed.

It was delayed a lot.

However, Louis XV naturally hoped to wear the Corsican crown as soon as possible, and Justice Maupe had to step up preparations for the ceremony.

Lawrence also nodded slightly, his purpose of coming to the Paris Military Academy was almost achieved.

The Charles Gang is growing day by day, and they are loyal to themselves as Charles Bornaba. After revealing their true identity, they can win their further loyalty.

The friendship with Duke Charles has also been established. After spending so many days together, the two of them also appreciate each other's abilities.

Especially after Duke Charles learned that Lawrence had appointed Jean Jacques Rousseau, whom he admired, as Speaker of the Corsican Parliament, Duke Charlie felt that the two were like-minded people and both were loyal to freedom and enlightenment.

Crowded.

As for Duke Charles and Crown Prince Louis, despite the constant quarrels and bickering between them, in a way, they can be considered to have a deep relationship.

"I do have to take a long vacation, but..."

Lawrence looked at the documents in the hands of Justice Mopp and realized that the other party should have some more important news to inform him:

"You can't go there in person just to ask for leave for me, right?"

"Haha, of course not. There is an important document that I need to hand over to you for review."

Justice Mopp smiled and shook his head, and handed the two documents to Lawrence:

"His Majesty the King told me that I must hand it over to you personally and ask for your opinion."

"Your Majesty..."

Lawrence didn't say anything more, he just narrowed his eyes slightly and took the two documents and read them with concentration.

However, Lawrence soon discovered that the first document was the list of ministers of the Kingdom of Corsica that he had given to Justice Maupp when he returned to Paris from Corsica years ago.

If nothing else happens, Louis XV will directly approve this list. After all, the appointment of the Corsican minister is just a process, and Louis XV does not need to deliberately damage Corsican relations when the two countries are at loggerheads.

However, on the second document, almost all the names of ministers designated by Lawrence were crossed out, and French names were written in red ink instead.

And it seems that these names were written by Louis XV himself.

The only thing that has not changed is the top line - Chief Minister: Laurence Bonaparte.

There is no doubt that Louis XV rejected the first list of ministers submitted by Lawrence and wanted to stuff this long list of Frenchmen into the Corsican cabinet.

"What does it mean?"
