Fouche was also a sensational figure in French history. From the French Revolution to the First Empire, during this period, there were only three politicians who stood firm, namely Talleyrand, Kano and Fouche.

Like Talleyrand, Fouchey was born in a seminary. But unlike Talleyrand, Fouchey was born in a civilian family, so he naturally could not become a dean, bishop, archbishop, etc. In addition, Fouchey was not good at speaking. This was a huge weakness for a priest, so he didn't even get the position of a priest in the church. Until he left the church, he was just an intern pastor.

However, his career in the seminary still left a deep mark on him, and this mark was almost exactly the same as what the seminary left to Talleyran, which was that he had no faith and could do anything. So in later history, he was almost as famous as Talleyran.

He was once a good friend of Robespierre, so good that he almost became Robespierre's brother-in-law, but he followed the more powerful Lafayette. After Lafayette gradually lost power, he became a friend of Condorcet, the giant of the Gironde faction. When he was judged by Louis XVI, the night before, he publicly advocated for forgiveness of the king. When he voted the next day, he supported the death penalty and shouted: "To save France, the tyrant's head must be cut off!" During the period of the dictatorship of the Jacobins, he acted more radical than Robespierre, even more radical than Eber. He cut off thousands of heads in one breath in Lyon, and put forward the slogan of almost abolishing private ownership and dividing all wealth equally.

However, Robespierre never forgot his betrayal. After suppressing Eberel, he originally planned to deal with Fouche. But he felt that Dandong was obviously more dangerous. So he temporarily let Fouche go and concentrate his efforts to deal with Dandong. This gave Fouche time. After Dandong's death, Fouche used people's fear and extraordinary personal abilities to weave a big rebellious net, and finally killed the great devil Robespierre in the Hemmon coup. Many people, including Lazar Cano and Napoleon's emcee, played a great role in this conspiracy, but all the clues were finally collected in Fouche's hands, and he was the one who weaved the net.

However, Robespierre's fall did not make Fouche successful. People cannot forget what he did in Lyon. Although Fouche saved his head (in comparison, Kano was almost cut off his head), he lost all his position.

But Fouche did not give up. For several years, he had been secretly assisting Balas to investigate various secrets of his political enemies. Because of these contributions, he was finally promoted by Balas and became the head of the police department.

In Wuyue, he assisted Napoleon, overthrew the governor's government, and continued to serve as the Minister of Public Security. Then he assisted Napoleon to undermine Barras, so that after Napoleon became emperor, he continued to serve as the Minister of Public Security. After Louis XVIII was restored, he was able to continue to hold this position until France passed the "Reigns Act" that finally ended his political career.

But if you only consider him as a chameleon and a clown, you would be too despised. In fact, neither Robespierre, Barras or Napoleon trusted him, but you had to rely on his unparalleled abilities. If Kano was a genius in military logistics organizations, then Fouche was a genius in secret operations and public safety control. He created the most stringent surveillance network in the world at that time, and even Queen Josephine was his informant.

Every ruler, from Robespierre to Napoleon, doubted Fouche, and was even afraid of Fouche, but they were reluctant to use Fouche. It is said that even Charles X, who hated everything that was related to the revolution, lamented: "How great would it be if I had Fouche." Of course, when he said this, he must have never thought that if there was a Fouche under his command, he would have been sold by Fouche long ago with his stupidity and conceit, and he also counted small money for him.

Fouche took the lead, and then more people followed. Joseph counted slightly, and the people who stood on Lafayette had obviously exceeded the votes Lafayette received. After all, at this time, Lafayette's power far exceeded Robespierre.

Lafayette's eyes looked at Joseph who was still standing still, and Joseph knew that he could no longer hesitate.

Joseph walked out, but he did not walk towards Lafayette, but towards the podium.

"Can I say a few words?" Joseph asked Robespierre, the new chairman standing beside him.

"Of course, the club is a place for everyone to speak freely," said Robespierre.

Joseph nodded, walked up, held the podium with his hand, bent down, glanced at everyone, and then said, "Today I really didn't expect that I would have the honor to witness such a shameful scene! Yes, a shameful scene! I noticed that in the vote just now, the number of votes that Mr. Lafayette received was far less than that of the people standing by His Excellency Lafayette. I would like to ask, those who chose Mr. Robespierre when voting, but at this time, they walked to His Excellency Lafayette. What made you change your attitude in such a short time? Change your faith? Look at your weak appearance, are you still moral people? You must be shameful and shameful!"

Then Joseph turned to Lafayette, hesitated for a moment, and then firmly said: "You have always been clear about my political attitude. But please forgive me what I am saying now. Today, Mr. Robespierre proposed a secret ballot. His reason was that some people would not dare to express their true thoughts because of fear of your power. Unfortunately, this concern became a fact. Although I believe that your actions after the vote did not think so, in fact, you are using your power to force everyone. I think your actions are not considered and inappropriate. Because of this reason, and among the people standing by you, there are some people I despise. So please forgive me, I cannot stand by you. Because I do not want to stand by these people. I am sorry!"

After saying this, Joseph bowed to Lafayette, then walked down from the podium, and returned to the position he had just stood.

"Ba, ba, ba." Robespierre took the lead and clapped, and then the rest of those who had not walked over clapped. Lafayette glanced at Joseph and walked out with the people around him. At this time, someone whistled.

"Mr. Bonaparte, you said so well!" a voice said in his ear.

Joseph turned his head and saw Saint Just standing beside him.

...

After pretending to be this b, Joseph did not stay in the Jacobin Club for a long time. He quickly left the club and returned to his residence on the grounds that he still had many things.

"How is the situation?" asked Napoleon.

"Lafayette left with most of the club, and the Jacobin club was officially split." Joseph said. "Although there was a desperate vote, when he left, he said directly, 'Whoever is willing to follow me, come to my side'. Damn, I still have to take sides, although I hate taking sides the most."

"You stood there with Robespierre?" asked Napoleon. "Joseph, I don't understand why you are like Robespierre..."

It seemed that he could not find the right word. Napoleon hesitated for a moment before continuing: "You should know that the fear of him is that there are more members of the representatives like him. In terms of weight, he and Lafayette are not the same as the same heavyweight. Are you willing to offend your immediate boss for him?"

Joseph shook his head and said, "Napoleon, you don't understand. These two people are different. Lafayette is indeed more important now, but in the future, it is Robespierre."

Speaking of this, he lowered his voice and said to Napoleon: "You must remember what I want to say to you below, but don't say it to anyone."

"What's the matter? Do this!" Napoleon made a dissatisfaction, but he also put his body over and lowered his voice.

"I have a strange sense of self-consciousness, Napoleon, my brother. I don't know if you can understand this. It seems to be a bit irrational. But Robespierre gave me this feeling. It's like a poisonous snake hiding among flowers... No, this metaphor is inaccurate. If it's just a poisonous snake, we can kill it, just like Little Hercules (In Greek mythology, the hero Hercules was born and pinched two cobras that tried to attack him with his hands at the cradle), but Robespierre is not a poisonous snake, he is not the kind of thing that cannot be put on the table, he is... He is the hidden Needhog. (In Nordic mythology, the poisonous dragon that keeps gnawing on the roots of the World Tree, one day, it will bite the roots and then rise up with the dead bodies in the air, thus proclaiming the arrival of the dusk of the gods.)"

"You're exaggerating?" said Napoleon.

"Look, there will be one day when he flew up like Needhog, his wings were hung with dead people, and his mouth was spitting out the vicious flames of the resentment that France had accumulated over the past few hundred years, swept across France and brought France a dusk of the real gods. Most of the great figures, like gods, would lose their heads in this feast, until the earth was tired of this too much blood, that he would whistle and whistle, like Needhog when he was reborn in the world. Before that, we must all avoid his flames and stand on the opposite side of him, at least, before the earth was full or even tired of the blood of the gods."

"So, Joseph, why do you stay in Asgard? Why don't you hide in the tree hole in advance?" asked Napoleon.

Asgard is the location of the Temple of Odin in Norse mythology. It is also the most intense and most casualties among the gods. It is said that after the gods' dusk ended, some people hid in the tree holes of the world tree and escaped death, thus rebuilding a new world.

"My brother. The dusk of the gods is not something that lasts one. I must prepare enough reserves for the days in the tree holes in the future, and the new era. Where else can you get it except in Asgard? Napoleon, if you just want to be a civilian in the new world, the reserves needed are very simple. But if you want to climb the Palace of the Golden and sit on the throne of the gods left by Odin, then now is not the time to escape."

"See what you said, it's like a charlatan," said Napoleon.

"Why, don't you believe it?"
