An Ning entered the auditorium and immediately went on stage to deliver a speech. He probably repeated what he had just said, and then exaggerated that the situation in Konta was very dangerous, trying to maintain the previous system and continue to be an enclave controlled by the Pope.
, so it is necessary to maintain a military presence in Konta...
Anning originally thought he could vote after he finished speaking, but after Pétion and Lafayette whispered a few words, he stood up and said: "Does anyone else have an opinion on the appointment of Mr. Frost?
You can come on stage and speak."
Lafayette did not go on stage immediately. Instead, he went up to a clergy representative named Walter and said that it was best not to offend the Pope and that it was best to postpone the matter of taking back the Pope's enclave in France.
The delegates were filled with indignation and shouted, "Traitors, get out of here."
However, according to the resolution passed last year, the personal rights of representatives are supreme and inviolable, so the priest Walter still stubbornly finished his speech on the stage before being asked to leave by Pétion.
Immediately afterwards, Lafayette slowly took the stage.
"Gentlemen," Lafayette began, "the situation in Konta may indeed be critical, but it can be predicted that there will be no large-scale rebels in Konta for a long time. Putting a war genius free
There, it is obvious that he is overqualified for his talents. I still support M. Pétion's proposal to let him serve as garrison commander in Paris. As for the military rank, I think it would be good to go up one level from brigadier general to major general."
An Ning frowned. It was clear that Lafayette had just frowned on him being the garrison commander, so why did he agree to it as soon as he turned around?
This change is full of conspiracy.
Danton beside An Ning also whispered: "Why would Lafayette support you as commander of the Paris garrison? Doesn't that give him half of his power? Just to lower your military rank to major general? Is it worth it?"
French military ranks, lieutenant general and general are honorary military ranks, awarded to those with military merit. In fact, the troops they command are similar to those of major generals.
At this time, the major generals of the French army could already command legions, and a legion was generally responsible for a strategic direction. For example, the most famous Italian legion.
The lieutenant general does not have a larger military organizational structure for him to command. Moreover, in this era, due to the limitations of communication and organizational capabilities, the ability to form a legion is already the limit.
Units of the size of an army group or even an army group only came into being after the great development of communication technology.
Therefore, there was no need for Lafayette to give up half of his power in order to reduce An Ning's military rank from lieutenant general to major general.
There must be some subsequent conspiracy.
Anyway, An Ning made up her mind and didn't want to step into a trap.
He muttered in his heart: Lafayette, you gave me the garrison commander and the rank of major general. The garrison commander corresponds to the security commander, and the major general corresponds to the junior general. You want me to become a junior general in Paris.
Ah, have you seen The Fifth Republic? Aren't you afraid that I will give you a surprise on December 12 this year?
However, there is a problem in An Ning's plan to launch a coup. There are too few capable people at his disposal. In fact, the performance of several junior officers promoted by An Ning is quite average. An Ning only promoted them because there was really no one to use them.
Among the Five Communists, Quan Xiaojiang had several capable people like Xu Sanshou, Xu Heping, etc.
If he really wanted to do it, An Ning would have to strengthen his team first.
Forget it, it’s so troublesome, it’s better to continue to work hard in Nanyang, live in troubled times, and not seek to learn and reach the princes.
In order to achieve this goal, I decided to book Konta!
After Lafayette finished speaking, An Ning was thinking of retorting when Robespierre stood up first.
He walked up to the podium with his head held high, pushed up his glasses, and then scanned the entire venue: "Everyone! I'm afraid no one knows the situation in the Konta area better than Frost, right? Frost believes that military pressure needs to be continued, then
It must be forced by circumstances.
"Think about it, Frost was so committed to the cause of constitutionalism, how could he live in a remote place and not participate in the formulation of the constitution? He must have sensed something and had to stay there!"
An Ning nodded repeatedly, yes, that's it! I must have found some signs that I didn't notice myself, so I chose to stay in Kongta!
Robespierre said some more, probably repeatedly emphasizing the need to trust the judgment of the frontline officers, and then came down amidst applause.
Looking at Robespierre walking towards this side, Danton whispered: "It's quite surprising that he said so much without any manuscript. Usually when he speaks, he must have a manuscript, and the manuscript needs to be revised many times, maybe from scratch.
I was preparing for my speech last night.”
An Ning: "After all, he is Maximilian, and he has such a meticulous nature."
"Now everyone calls him the Incorruptible." Dandong said, "You don't know that when you go to war, right?"
An Ningxin said that I knew it a long time ago, even before I knew him.
An Ning: "I don't know. But it does suit him very well."
Robespierre came back and said to An Ning: "I guess those who are unhappy with Lafayette will be confused now, because they originally wanted you to check and balance Lafayette and wanted to keep you in Paris.
. Now that Lafayette has taken the first step, they are probably fooled."
Danton: "So you went up to speak and gave them reasons to oppose Lafayette's decision?"
Robespierre: "No, those who oppose Lafayette will oppose Lafayette's proposals according to their habit. I am fighting for the swing centrists, which are now called the plains.
people."
As he spoke, Robespierre pointed to the group of people sitting on the ground in the middle of the venue.
Then several more people came to the stage to speak, most of them imitating Robespierre's speech.
Then Pétion took the stage and announced the start of the vote.
Half an hour later, An Ning was elected as the special commissioner of the Konta region of the National Assembly by a narrow margin, but the military rank was only agreed to be major general.
An Ning was very satisfied with this result. In fact, when he wanted the rank of lieutenant general, he originally followed Lu Xun's roof-lifting theory: if you want to open a window, you first propose to lift the roof, and then people compromise and agree to open the window.
After the voting, it was almost time for the meeting to adjourn, and Bayi, Pétion, Mirabeau and Lafayette came together to find peace.
"His Majesty the King wants to meet the hero of Konta."
An Ning: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go."
In fact, it stands to reason that the first person you should see after you come back from the rebellion is the king. Unfortunately, the king's status is no longer what it was before, so An Ning came to the parliament first.
The Tuileries Palace, where the king lives, is right next to the venue of the National Assembly, just a few steps away.
Louis XVI and Queen Marie were already waiting for peace in the audience room of the Tuileries Palace.
As soon as he saw An Ning coming in, Louis XVI stood up from his position, took a few steps forward and held An Ning's hand: "You played very well!"
An Ning: "The cavalry team sent to me by His Majesty played a great role. Without their reconnaissance, I would not have been able to achieve such great results."
Louis XVI was very happy when he heard this: "Really? It seems that the girls performed very well!"
After saying that, Louis XVI looked back at Queen Mary, and then said to An Ning: "By the way, I heard that you have been appointed as Konta's military commissioner?"
——Hey, does the king know about what was just decided?
An Ning glanced at Mirabeau, but he knew that Mirabeau was the secret advisor of the king and queen.
Mirabeau looked as if nothing had happened.
An Ning: "Yes, I am indeed assigned to Konta."
Louis XVI: "That's it. As a local military governor, you definitely can't do it with only that few troops. Well, I have discussed it with the queen, and I will hand over the entire Knights of the Guard to you. In this way, you can
There’s a whole cavalry regiment!”
An Ning was shocked.
The Guards Cavalry Regiment is composed of aristocratic ladies who are not married. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, if you send me such a women's army, I will think wrong!
Then An Ning noticed the queen's expression.
Wait, does it look like the queen has an expression that indicates her plot has succeeded?
When An Ning thought about it, he understood: the queen wanted to maintain control over the troops under An Ning's name. If a cavalry regiment was placed here, what would the royal family do in the future? If An Ning didn't respond, the cavalry might mutiny...
This Queen Mary is a little clever.
But why did she think that the Cavalry Guards would definitely support the royal family? During the Bastille, it was also the Guards who mutinied in support of the revolutionary masses.
It seems that this woman has only a little cleverness but no great wisdom.
An Ning: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I will definitely make good use of this elite cavalry unit!"
