Minister Liuelli smiled as he left the Elysee Palace. This trip to the Elysee Palace was simply a torture for him, an old man in his sixties.
If he is allowed to go through this a few more times, he will definitely submit his resignation to the president.
When he returned to the Ministry of War, Liuelli did not forget the tasks assigned by Jérôme Bonaparte. He quickly called the Director of the Personnel Department and explained to him the tasks assigned by the president.
However, Liuelli did not say that it was a task assigned by the president.
"Minister, you mean those under 40 years old? Still have combat experience in Algiers?" The director of the Personnel Department asked Liuelli again. Since key information was missing, he did not understand what Liuelli wanted to do.
"That's right!" Liuelli nodded and responded: "Go!"
"I'll go right away!" The director saluted Minister Liulier and left.
Although he didn't know what Minister Liuli was going to do, as a trusted confidant promoted by Liuli, it had become his instinct to obey the leadership.
Just when he was about to leave the minister's office, the director suddenly realized a problem. The minister seemed not to have limited the number of people to him. He quickly turned around and asked: "Minister, how many people do you need!"
The director's inquiry instantly made Liuelli realize that he did not seem to have asked the president how many people he needed. He could only vaguely say: "Just 60-70 people!"
Liuelli probably didn't realize that his vague response just met the manpower Jérôme Bonaparte needed in the early stages of establishing his staff.
The director who returned to the Personnel Department quickly mobilized all subordinates in the Personnel Department to look for qualified officers.
After nearly two weeks of working overtime day and night, the Human Resources Department finally compiled a list.
The director handed the list to the Minister of War and said: "Minister, this is the list of members that meet your requirements!"
Looking at the densely packed French on the list, Liuelli nodded with satisfaction and said: "Just contact them one by one according to the list!"
"ah!"
The director looked at Minister Liuelli in surprise. There were sixty-eight people in these lists.
[20 of them are in departments under the Ministry of War, and 48 of them are from Algiers.]
Although they were said to be low-level officers, according to his understanding, the Ministry of War seemed to have no room to accept them.
"Mr. Minister, please forgive me!" In order to protect his authority from being diluted, the director mustered up the courage to say to Liuelli: "The Ministry of War cannot arrange so many people! If they swarm into the Ministry of War, I am afraid it will cause
The whole department is bloated!”
"Bloody?" Liu Aili raised his head, his sharp eyes seemed to pierce into the director's heart. He snorted coldly and said in a bad tone: "Isn't the Ministry of War not bloated now?"
Even though Liuelli was at a loss when facing Jérôme Bonaparte, it was all because of the condescending blow from the president's position.
Facing the director who is lower than him, Liu Aili is not so easy to talk to.
"I...I mean...we really don't need to recruit more people!" After learning that the leader had been offended, the director could only continue speaking.
For the benefit of ourselves and the War Department, we have to do this!
I'm doing this all for the good of the minister!
The director silently rationalized himself under hypnosis.
"Don't worry! Count Rendell, these people are not staying in the War Department!" Liuelli said in a slightly sarcastic tone to the greedy subordinate in front of him.
"Then they..." Count Rendell asked subconsciously. He suddenly thought that President Prince seemed to have established a military secretariat a few days ago [announced to the outside world], would they transfer it there?
Damn, I should have thought of that!
Earl Rendell, who was almost 50 years old, felt extremely regretful. If he had reacted earlier, he would have put his son, who just graduated last year, on the list. He believed that the minister would not expose the news that his son was stationed in Nantes.
It's too late now.
Earl Rendell's annoyance was clearly seen by Liuelli, who couldn't help but despise his subordinate in his heart.
Regret turned to regret, and after realizing his gaffe, Earl Rendell quickly returned to being meticulous.
"Go and get in touch! I'm going to have a meeting!" Liuelli, after reading all the names on the list, gave Count Rendell an order to expel him.
The unwilling Earl Rendell could only choose the list of his men, contact the list members, and look at the names on the list.
Earl Rendell has reason to believe.
If the president can win, everyone on this list will prosper.
Maybe I should defect to the president?
An idea came to Rendel's mind. Born into a traditional aristocracy, he should have been the one who was most opposed to Napoleon, but now he actually wanted to sacrifice his life for him.
It's all Napoleon's fault! He messed everything up!
…
"Ah sneeze!"
Jérôme Bonaparte, who was sitting in the study of the Elysée Palace, did not know what was happening in the Ministry of War. At this time, he was talking with the commander Renault who was about to expedition to Rome.
"General Renault, I would like to congratulate you in advance on becoming the commander of the Roman Expeditionary Force!" Jérôme Bonaparte smiled at the bald general in front of him and said in an exaggerated tone: "This is not an easy job.
work!"
General Renault, who had just been promoted from brigadier general to major general, looked at Jérôme with excitement. Bonaparte's eyes were full of gratitude. It was every general's dream to be able to take charge of an independent army to fight. It was every general's dream for someone like him just now.
A person who is promoted to major general would never be able to take this job if there is no help.
"Your Majesty, I...I..." Regno couldn't speak in excitement.
"General, you were expelled from the army because of the Bonaparte family! During the July Dynasty, you were not promoted for seven years because of my cousin. We should compensate you for this!" Jérôme Bonaparte
Tomoe said in a sincere tone.
Jérôme, who learned from Colonel Dumur about Reignault's "connection" with the Bonaparte family, had more reason to reuse this loyal general. The war against Rome was his reward for General Reignault.
"I will swear allegiance to your majesty and the Bonaparte family to the death!" General Renault swore to Jerome Bonaparte loudly.
"General Rennault, you will not regret your choice today! I believe you will be able to become a marshal!" Jerome Bonaparte promised Rennault, and then changed the subject and said: "I need you to take advantage of this opportunity.
Go to the army to find a group of people who support us, and I will use them to clean out the War Department!"
Jerome Bonaparte believed that the army has never been a peaceful group, and there was never a shortage of careerists in the army. As long as those careerists can be convinced that they can get what they want by following them, they will unite to their side.
before.
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Reignault, who was more surprised than frightened, decisively took over the bridge between Bonaparte and the army.
I believe that before long, a large number of Bonapartists will appear in the army heading to Rome.
