Chapter seventy-two, the royal party in support of the Jacobins

The next morning, Joseph went to work as usual. On the way, he thought, what would Lafayette react? Will he notify him directly that his job was cancelled due to the change of the situation and even put a seal on the door of his office?

However, when Joseph arrived at the place, he found that he might have been really worried. His position was still there, and all the things he had to deal with were still waiting for him to deal with.

When it was lunch, Kano next door walked in.

"Joseph," said Kano, "I heard about what happened last night, you did a great job!"

"Lazar, I..." Before Joseph could say anything else, he heard Kano continue to say:

"Do you know? Joseph. I used to think you would be a good logistics organizer and an excellent staff officer, but you would definitely not be a good commander. Because although you are keen and meticulous, you can come up with many good solutions, but you lack courage at critical moments and cannot make decisions. However, your younger brother Napoleon is very decisive and a natural commander..."

"What's the point? I can come up with many good solutions, but I lack courage and cannot make decisions? Isn't this saying that I'm 'sleek and bold, and I'm so brave and unresolved'? Who is this to Prime Minister Cao laughing at?" Joseph was thinking this way, but he heard Kano continue:

"But judging from your decision yesterday, my view is completely wrong. You are a person who has persistence and determination! You are usually cautious and meticulous, brave and firm at critical moments! Joseph, you have the potential to become an amazing commander."

"But I still don't know how to face Mr. Lafayette." Joseph said a little nervously.

"I haven't seen the general today. But I think the general is a sensible person." Kano said, "You are so worried today, why did you say that yesterday?"

"I had to do this in the case of yesterday. Even if the general had any ideas about me, I had to do this," said Joseph. "But General Lafayette is a very good man, and I have always respected him very much, and I don't want to lose his friendship."

Joseph knew that Lafayette valued Kano very much, so he also tried to use Kano to try to ease the relationship with Lafayette.

Kano laughed and said, "If General Lafayette was a person who puts France's interests before his own interests, he would not have been scruples with you because of yesterday's events. And to be honest, his approach yesterday was indeed inappropriate. If he puts his personal grudges before France's interests, why do we have such a friend? Well, don't think too much. We do things openly and honestly, as long as we are worthy of our conscience, why worry about so much?"

"This is really a Kano-like answer. This person is disdainful to explain these things. I am afraid that he will be unable to communicate with Lafayette as an intermediary." Joseph thought so.

At this time, a messenger came in and said to Kano and Joseph: "The general has something to do to ask you two to come over."

Joseph followed the messenger with Kano to meet Lafayette. Kano smiled at Joseph and said, "Don't worry, I will support you."

When he saw Lafayette, Joseph was a little guilty, but Lafayette did not mention yesterday's incident at all. He just asked about the progress of some projects as usual.

After the work was over, Joseph said goodbye with Kano and left. After leaving the door, Kano said to Joseph:

"Look, I just said that the general would not care about this matter."

When Joseph heard this, he just smiled, but thought to himself: "How could Kano be so honest? Lafayette did not mention this matter, which just shows that he minded it very much."

Of course, if Lafayette took the initiative to mention this matter and comforted Joseph and told him not to care, Joseph would probably think that Lafayette was particularly attentive again.

"'Is it a man who is a man who is not able to get it? He is worried about getting it. Once he gets it, he is worried about losing it." Confucius seemed to be me. But this is really reasonable and worthy of being a master. If Kano knew what I was thinking, I would probably comment on me like this. But at least one thing can be guaranteed, that is, Lafayette will not do anything to me in a short time." Joseph thought so.

After that, it became calm, and Lafayette and his friends seemed to have controlled the situation. The king swore to the Constitution, and Lafayette, with a group of people split from the Jacobin Club, established a Fyyan Club. He formed an alliance with the "Black Party" who supported the king, and those decent people who were able to pay the election deposit, and seemed to have firmly controlled the situation.

The remaining democrats, the remnants of the disbanded Cotterie club, and marginalized leftists in the government and parliament, were also devoted to the Jacobin club in Robespierre. Almost while the right achieved a great alliance, the left also quietly formed their great alliance.

Since Lafayette and his friends have already gained the upper hand, they certainly hope to consolidate their position. So in Dupole, Banav and Lamer brothers mentioned that they tried to take advantage of their current dominance in parliament, amend the constitution, give the king more power, restore certain rights of the nobles, and establish a house of Lords in order to win over the "black party"; increase the election deposit to ensure that those who can be elected in the future are "decent people"; allow re-election of parliament members and allow concurrent ministers to be ministers to ensure that their own people can get long-term benefits.

Although in terms of numbers, the Phoeyans and the Blacks, plus those who tend to them, are already the majority in parliament, which is enough to pass such resolutions. However, none of these proposals were passed in the vote. Because opposing these proposals was not only Jacobin, but also part of the "decent people" who tended to the Republic, but also the entire Blacks.

It is said that King Louis XVI and Queen Mary agreed that Lafayette was a more terrifying enemy than those Jacobins. This is normal. Jacobin had no power at that time. Their leader was just a civilian, (there was no way, in the knowledge of the palace, the civilians were all unsavory SBs) and what kind of waves could they make? The Duke of Orleans who were mixed with them was now much worse than before. He stayed away from France in more than a critical year. When he came back, his power had almost dispersed. Moreover, that playboy was also a typical person who could not do anything well. If he really had the ability, he would not have let Lafayette drive out of the country, and now he would not have let a civilian be the chairman. His surname was Bourbon? How could he have the surname Bourbon? He was also worthy of Bourbon?

The king and the queen had this view, and the people of Count Artowa (the younger brother of King Louis XVI) probably played a great role. Count Artowa was the first to flee abroad, and was also the one among the great nobles who were the most determined in counter-revolution. In a sense, he was one of the people who mentioned to the king and the queen that they must be highly wary of whom they had a close relationship with but wanted to drink their blood the most. But now the king and the queen really had no one to rely on, and the king and the queen had never believed in MIRABO.

Indeed, the Feiyang Sect provided a lot of discounts to the kings and nobles, but in the eyes of the black party, those things were theirs. The Feiyang Sect's guys only returned a small part of the things they snatched from them. Like those mobs, the Feiyang Sect's guys were actually no different. They were all damn rebellious. Since they were all rebellious, of course they had to let the two rebellious ones kill each other. If they stood on the stronger side and let them defeat the other rebellious one by one, it would not seem like a good thing to restore the Langlang Qingtian of France.

In addition, there is another reason to make the black party stand firmly on Jacobin's side, that is, Austria's attitude.

Since the king failed to escape, the king and his wife, as well as the royal people, have placed their hopes on the military intervention of European countries, especially the Queen's elder brother, the Austrian emperor. They feel that the French army is now severely divided, and if European countries unite, they can easily defeat the French army and let France return to "right track".

However, the Austrian emperor was not very enthusiastic about going to war with France. The reason why he was not very enthusiastic was that Russia's Catherine II was very enthusiastic about armed intervention in France.

The royal family in Europe is all relatives. As long as you search slowly on the family tree, any king and the king of another country can bring about a distant or near relationship. If you insist on finding it, you can probably find some relative relationships. However, Her Majesty's passion for armed intervention in the French revolution is not in France, but in Poland.

At this time, the glory of the big bobo Pingdu Zhenlu and defeating Turkey has long become history. The influence of the strange king-selecting system and the aristocratic veto system, Dabobo has gradually weakened, and now it has changed from a lion that dominates Eastern Europe to a little fat sheep that everyone loves. It is just that there are more wolves around the little fat sheep, and the few wolves restrain each other, which allows the little fat sheep to survive. Russia is a wolf that covets this little fat sheep. If Europe interferes with France's war, with France's size, this war will never end in a short time. All their powers will be attracted by this war, and in Eastern Europe, Russia can do whatever it wants.

This plot could not be concealed by Austrian Emperor Leopold II, so he did not want to start a war. He even felt that if a constitutional monarchy could be really constitutional, the situation in France would be completely acceptable. Because he did not want to fight with France to lose both sides. Looking back, he found that Poland was divided by the Russians and the Prussians, and he did not even leave a mouthful of soup for him.
