The news that Colonel Canrobert became President Jérôme Bonaparte's aide-de-camp was reported by Le Bonaparte and soon spread throughout Paris.
The people of Paris began to be curious about the colonel who was favored by the Prince President. In order to satisfy the gossip needs of the Paris people, the next few issues of "Le Bonaparte" focused on "digging deeply" into the life story of Colonel Canrobert.
, under the description of the pens of "Le Bonaparte", one short story after another in the style of romance became popular in the entire Paris circle.
The people of Paris were surprised to find that there was such a "strong general" in France. Rumors about Jérôme Bonaparte's "eye" for identifying talents spread in Paris, and the adjutant Canrobert became the "general star" of Paris.
", Jerome Bonaparte also became a veritable "little Napoleon".
This down-to-earth propaganda once again increased Jérôme Bonaparte's popularity, linking Jérôme Bonaparte with Emperor Napoleon, making Paris citizens' threshold for future coups lower and easier to accept.
Change.
After all, Parisians' enthusiasm for revolution will gradually disappear with one "revolution" and one "failure".
Not to mention that the people of Seine Province have gradually become accustomed to the coming and going of the army.
If there are no soldiers coming in and out, they may not be used to it.
Compared with the random speculations of Paris citizens, the officers who attended the banquet clearly understood "what happened" better.
In their eyes, Canrobert was the first person to "eat crabs".
The officers verbally criticized Canrobert, accusing him of bending his knees to please Jérôme Bonaparte in order to gain a sycophant. At the same time, they were secretly envious of Canrobert for getting such a good opportunity.
Under Jerome Bonaparte's policy of buying horse bones for thousands of dollars, more and more people are moving closer to the Elysee Palace in the hope of gaining power.
A warm breeze blows away the cold snaps of January and February, and also blows away the tense atmosphere in Paris.
Although the spring equinox has passed, the weather in Paris is still a little cool.
As Parisian citizens took off their cotton-padded clothes one after another, they added a layer of outerwear to the inner lining.
Jérôme Bonaparte was no exception. After taking off his slightly bloated coat, he put on a black Vlach corset, paired with brown-red Gilet trousers and black leather shoes. He looked like an upper-class bourgeois gentleman.
.
At this time, he was sitting in the study of the Elysee Palace. Colonel Canrobert, who had a tall figure but was slightly bald, was standing next to Jerome Bonaparte in a blue National Guard uniform.
Sitting opposite him was French Minister of War Liuelli.
Jerome Bonaparte introduced Canrobert beside him to Liouelli: "Minister Liouelli, this is my adjutant, Colonel Canrobert!"
After hearing Jérôme Bonaparte introduce himself, Canrobert straightened his back even more.
"Not bad! Like a battle-hardened soldier!" Liuelli nodded with satisfaction, extended an olive branch to Canrobel and said, "How about it? Are you interested in coming to our war department?"
Canrobert did not answer Minister Liuelli. He understood why he was able to receive the olive branch from the Minister of War.
The final analysis is because of President Jérôme Bonaparte. The gap between a colonel and the Minister of War is the gap between an ordinary person and a multi-millionaire. Unless summoned by the Ministry of War, it is impossible for an ordinary colonel to meet him several times.
Secretary of War.
As for determining whether someone is a good person by their stance, that's just a polite comment from Liuelli.
If standing upright could gain the War Minister's closeness, Canrobert believed that there would be many people willing to train day and night in order to get close to the War Minister.
By the time the training is completed one day, the Minister of War may have been transferred long ago.
Canrobert's silence put the scene into an awkward situation.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting increasingly anxious, Jerome Bonaparte hurriedly said: "I wish you all! Minister Liuelli, I remember that your Ministry of War still lacks a State Secretary, right?"
"We..." Liuelli, who was about to say that there is no shortage, immediately changed his mind. He nodded and said: "Yes! The Ministry of War now lacks a responsible and courageous State Secretary!"
Then Liuelli looked at Canrobert again and said: "We just need people like Canrobert to take charge!"
"Canrobert!" Jérôme Bonaparte said.
Canrobert, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke again: "Yes! Your Majesty!"
"I wonder if you are interested in serving as State Secretary of the Ministry of War! This will also be a kind of exercise for you."
Since Liuelli gave Jérôme Bonaparte an opportunity to intervene in the Ministry of War, Jérôme Bonaparte would be sorry for Liuelli's "painstaking efforts" if he did not intervene, Jérôme Bonaparte put it euphemistically.
Conveyed to Canrobert his intention to take control of the War Department.
Canrobert, who has been a veteran in the army for more than ten years, obviously understood what Jérôme Bonaparte meant. He immediately expressed his position: "I am willing to follow the orders of the President and the Minister and go to the Ministry of War for training!"
"The Ministry of War welcomes soldiers like you who have made a difference!" Liuelli said to Canrobert with a smile.
Then, he turned his attention to Jerome Bonaparte and complained to himself: "I have had enough of those soldiers in the Ministry of War. They are not so much soldiers as they are a group of politicians."
"Be patient, Mr. Minister!" Jérôme 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 who truly dare to fight and fight wars! Without bureaucratic coordination,
Troops that plan logistics will only fall into chaos before the war. Similarly, an army without military soul will also be unable to win the war. We must learn to combine the two, so that they can effectively organize logistics and allow them to have
War power!"
"Your Excellency President, this is too difficult!" Liuelli complained, and then changed the topic and praised: "Only the emperor and the marshals who follow the emperor can take into account the characteristics of both!"
"Mr. Minister, since there are still some gaps between our specific marshals, then why don't we use an effective system to make up for individual wisdom." Jérôme Bonaparte crossed his hands on the table, "Sometimes,
A mature system is more important than a single talented general! After all, talented generals are something that can only be found but cannot be found, but a mature system can run smoothly."
"Your Excellency, what should I do?" Minister Liuelli said as if he was not interested in learning.
"The Ministry of War should plan its powers and responsibilities, and some of them should be engaged in political-related work or military-related work. Political personnel should not be allowed to intervene in military work, otherwise there will be amateurs guiding experts. The same is true for political work.
