After Berthier took office as chief of staff, the efficiency of the Tranquil Forces' paperwork increased to a higher level.
Lazar Cano is also a rare office talent who can handle a lot of documents quickly, but he is still not as good as Berthier.
Berthier may have accumulated enough energy during his previous house arrest, but after taking office as chief of staff, he showed amazing energy.
Seeing him working frantically every day, An Ning suddenly understood why Napoleon was commanding as if he had replaced Berthier without him.
That's how useful a great chief of staff is.
After leaving the paperwork to Berthier, An Ning could finally devote his main energy to paying attention to the progress of the situation in the entire world.
Entering October, there is good news and bad news coming from the north.
The good news is that Prussia temporarily gave up its plan to interfere in France because it wanted to concentrate its efforts on confronting Catherine's Tsarist Russia and gain more interests in carving up Poland.
The bad news is that Austria has already taken action. The Austrian army led by Wurmser has left the Austrian mainland and is coming through Bavaria and other countries.
When An Ning received the news, he was stunned for a moment, wondering why the Austrian army had gone to the territory of another country. Then he suddenly remembered that there was still the Holy Roman Empire at this time, and countries like Bavaria were all members of the Holy Ra. Austria's "domestic".
In other words, although France does not border Austria, it does border the HRE, which is equivalent to bordering Austria - a bit of a mouthful.
The Shinra army has arrived at the border of France and may enter France soon. It has only been more than a year since the Shinra Emperor Leopold II took over the throne from Maria Theresa, and he plans to prepare for himself The younger sister regained a throne worthy of the name.
In this way, there is the Austrian Rhine Army led by Wurmser on the northern border of France, and the Austrian-Italian Army led by Beaulieu of Milan is looking at it in the south. It can be said that the situation is not optimistic.
Many letters have arrived from Paris, urging An Ning to immediately lead the army back to Paris and take charge of its defense.
After all, there is no Maginot Line now, and Bouye on the northern border has rebelled against the Parliament. The Austrian army can easily march straight in and take the Île-de-France.
Under such a situation, the Parliament has declared that An Ning is not a traitor, but Lafayette is the traitor. The Parliament was deceived by the cooperation between Lafayette and the king, and now it has realized its mistake.
Not only was An Ning not responsible for his reforms in Konta, he was also given the title of a national-saving general.
However, Anning originally thought that Parliament would pass the land division bill and bring forward the reforms later carried out by the Jacobins, but he was wrong.
Not only did the bill to divide the land fail to pass, but the bill to abolish the king was also being debated fiercely.
Yes, even though the king has become corrupt and has committed treason, the parliament still refuses to depose the king.
It seems like nothing can be accomplished overnight.
Historically, France supported the king well for a year after he fled, and finally decided to kill his family in 1792.
I don't care about An Ning, just stay in the south.
Under the joint efforts of Berthier and Lazar Carnot, An Ning's military strength increased to 30,000, and the area of control more than doubled.
In these newly expanded control areas, because they were worried about An Ning coming to participate in the street lamp decoration competition, they voted to cut off the land and allocate the fields to the farmers.
The big businessmen made a choice to cut the flesh of the old noble men to please the beasts that were just around the corner.
The farmers were all well-off, and everyone praised General Frost.
The effect of large-scale land division is that the original unrest in these areas quickly subsided, and as a result, the economy got better. After the division of land, the big businessmen suddenly found that they had more money.
So they also began to praise General Frost.
Although the trousers in the city did not benefit at all from this process, they also had a new place to go: joining the National Guard.
Because there are so many people who want to join the army, announcements have been issued in various places, clearly indicating that the local self-defense forces have been fully recruited.
So many trousers began to travel across mountains and rivers with their families to go to Kongta.
An Ning struggled with how to deal with these people.
He couldn't recruit all these people into the army because he didn't have that much money - his army was paid in real money, and he couldn't afford the sudden expansion.
Now the military pay of these 30,000 people is enough to give An Ning a headache.
Although he collected a large amount of church property, it was not unlimited.
But the large number of laborers gathered in Konta cannot be left alone here. They will make trouble if they don't have enough to eat. After all, they are citizens who have been baptized by the Great Revolution.
An Ning had no choice but to start setting up government-run factories so that they could support themselves through work.
Then there is a problem.
During the war that ended ten years ago, France signed a tariff treaty with Britain, allowing British industrial products to enter France without restraint.
At this time, Britain was the largest industrial country in Europe. Its industrial products were cheap and of high quality. When it entered France, it destroyed the local handicraft industry in France.
If Britain had not become a complete industrial country, I am afraid that all French handicraft producers would be unemployed.
By the way, the French Revolution was also due to the British industrial products. The dumping of British industrial products made France's industrial manufacturers bankrupt and the people were without jobs.
In order for An Ning to have sales for its government-run factories, it had to use the military to set up checkpoints and impose tariffs on imported British industrial products.
Anyway, it's very strange. After killing the feudal lords in the country, France finally had a unified market. Now this unified market has been cut off by An Ning.
All in all, in October 1791, An Ning had more headaches than usual.
The situation abroad, the situation at home, and the economic problems in its own territory all gave An Ning a headache.
An Ning began to miss the old bad times.
You said it's great if you don't stand out and just show off, how comfortable it is.
Troubled by these problems, An Ning began to want to get something suitable for the identity of a time traveler for the first time after traveling.
For example, the Industrial Revolution was launched in southern France and the steam engine was promoted.
But he immediately encountered a problem. He only knew that a steam engine boiled water and then let the cylinder push the piston to work, but he had no idea what it was like.
He couldn't rub the steam engine with his hands.
There are also three major things that ordinary time-travelers do: glass blowing, making soap and inventing penicillin. He only knows the superficial knowledge of all these things, and this superficial knowledge can only be seen from time-travel historical novels.
It's impossible for him to rub these things with his hands now.
So all he could do was make an announcement and invite engineers and scientists from all over the country with generous subsidies to see if they could work miracles with great force.
But these are long-term things, and if they really come to fruition, I don’t know how many years will pass.
The only good thing is that one of the engineers who came to An Ning knew how to build a spinning jenny, so the efficiency of An Ning's spinning mill was pretty good.
But none of these can quench the thirst.
Before the wealth he gained from plundering the church was used up, An Ning had to think of ways to enrich his financial resources. Only when he had money could he expand his army.
An Ning thought about it day and night, and finally realized that he could only follow the old path, killing people and setting fire to the golden belt.
He set his sights on Napoleon's land of glory: Italy.
Italy is very rich.
Northern Italy may not look very big in area, but it provides a quarter of the tax base of the Holy Ra Emperor.
A quarter!
An Ning has already thought about it. I can do whatever I want with Northern Love. As long as Leopold II declares war, I will go to Italy.
Moreover, going to Italy can not only solve financial problems, but also recruit talents.
Massena, one of Napoleon's most fierce generals, was in Italy at this time.
So in October 1791, An Ning already had a complete plan in mind, waiting for Leopold II to declare war.
