Chapter 222 One of the three heroes in the army is missing
Arrangements were made for Napoleon, and An Ning inspected Verdun on the way back to Paris.
In fact, An Ning wanted to guard Verdun by himself, mainly because he was familiar with this place.
As a military history buff, he has read a lot of the history of the Meat Grinder at Verdun, and now he can recall it all when he looks at this terrain.
However, Berthier, who accompanied him on the inspection, tried his best to prevent Anning from taking up the post of defender of Verdun himself.
Finally An Ning asked Berthier to recommend a trustworthy officer to serve as guard, and Berthier recommended Bernadotte.
An Ning looked at Bernadotte and her eyes shone: Good guy, another future marshal!
But in real history, this guy never had any dealings with Napoleon, and he even gave Napoleon a green hat.
When An Ning thought of this, Bernadotte's expression became complicated.
He naturally doesn't like men who cuckold others. This is a little mysophobia of a pure love warrior.
But Bernadotte's command quality should be sufficient.
After a brief thought, An Ning made the decision: "Okay, since my chief of staff strongly recommended you, I will trust you and be entrusted to you by Verdun! Remember, your mission is to hold on until July! July
We will have enough troops to launch a large-scale counterattack!"
Bernadotte is a tall man, half a head taller than the already tall An Ning. He has slightly curly black hair and bright black eyes.
After listening to An Ning's words, Bernadotte held his head high and replied loudly: "Don't say hold on until July, I can even hold on until December! I am very familiar with this fortress and will look good to the Prussians and Austrians.
Yes! Don’t worry!”
An Ning raised her eyebrows.
At this time Berthier said: "Bernadotte admires you very much and he has been preparing to be loyal to you."
An Ning was a little surprised. When he read the biography of Napoleon, he felt that Bernadotte was rebellious and had never been interested in Napoleon's personal reputation.
Why does he admire me now?
An Ning looked at Bernadotte again, and the latter's body tensed up even more after noticing his gaze, like a proud rooster.
Suddenly, An Ning remembered that Bernadotte was a die-hard republican! He didn't deal with Napoleon because Napoleon wanted to proclaim himself emperor.
In real history, when Bernadotte was in Italy, he felt that Napoleon was very ambitious and might be detrimental to the republic, so he refused to deal with Napoleon everywhere.
But in this history, what is An Ning? He is the founder of the Republic and a die-hard republican. It is reasonable for Bernadotte to worship An Ning, okay?
An Ning took a step forward, picked up Bernadotte's arm, and rolled up his sleeve, revealing the tattoo on his arm.
The tattoo says "Death to the Tyrant" in Latin - yes, it's the same as in real history.
Berthier was shocked: "Why do you have a tattoo? This is illegal!"
An Ning raised a hand to stop Berthier from continuing: "Okay, using tattoos to express one's ambitions is not bad. Just deduct one month's salary as a punishment. Let's see, the tyrant dies, this
Does the tyrant refer to Louis XVI?”
Bernadotte replied: "All tyrants who ride on the heads of the people!"
Good guy, no wonder he didn't deal with Napoleon so much. After Napoleon became emperor, he also became a tyrant in the eyes of many people.
He later became the regent of Sweden through election and participated in several anti-French alliances to take practical actions against the tyrant Napoleon in his eyes.
When I read Napoleon's biography, I unconsciously enter Napoleon's perspective. Naturally, I feel that Bernadotte is a rebel and annoying to death. However, if I look beyond the perspective of Napoleon's biography and from the perspective of a pure observer, Bernadotte is a rebel.
A ruthless person who carries out his beliefs to the end.
An Ning looked at Bernadotte's tattoo and took a deep breath.
Will he become a tyrant that Bernadotte is hostile to?
Will he ascend the throne of the French Empire one day in the future and drive away Beethoven and Bernadotte?
No, it won't.
An Ning waved away these thoughts and put down Bernadotte's arm: "Very good, I have felt your will. I believe you will defend this fortress. When the counterattack in July is over, I will personally hold a grand party for you."
Celebration banquet.”
Bernadotte stood at attention again and saluted An Ning: "I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

After inspecting the two fortresses, An Ning returned to his headquarters in Versailles outside Paris.
The main reason why the headquarters was placed here was that it was originally the palace of the King of France, and there were a large number of houses that could accommodate a large number of troops.
An Ning no longer wanted to see the continuous bloody scenes in Paris, so she moved out to isolate herself from the intrigues and political struggles in Paris.
Here he can concentrate on preparing the defense of Paris.
Of course, An Ning also had a little selfishness: he had been to Versailles several times before and had seen the luxury of the palace, and he wanted to try living in such a luxurious palace.
You have to give it a try.
Napoleon in another time and space also lived in good houses in various places. When he was in Spain, he even sneaked into the city of Madrid, which was full of anti-French elements, to take a look at the Spanish Royal Palace where his brother Joseph Bonaparte lived.
In short, An Ning's headquarters was placed in the Palace of Versailles, so his fiancée, Christina, who had been relieved of her military duties, became the temporary hostess of the Palace of Versailles, and Fanny became the temporary head maid of the Palace of Versailles.
The day after An Ning returned to Versailles, Lazar Carnot came from Paris and brought the latest situation on the reorganization of the troops.
With him came a young cuirassier officer.
An Ning looked at the cuirassier officer who came with Lazar Cano with confusion: "Who is this?"
Lazar Cano was a little surprised: "You don't know him?"
An Ning said "Oh" and realized that this might be a famous general that Lazar Cano found according to the list he gave.
This list was only given to Lazar Cano, and Berthier did not know it.
Of course, Bernadotte is not included in this list. After all, when writing this list, An Ning was still in the perspective of Napoleon's biography and believed that Bernadotte was a rebel.
An Ning recalled the list she gave him. Among them were those who were from cuirassiers...
An Ning: "Could it be that you are Noah Murat?"
An Ning remembers that in the game "Battle of the Virgin", Murat comes with his own armor and is a cavalry, so the cuirassiers must have escaped!
Murat was shocked: "You know me?"
Not only do I know about you, I also know that you want to marry Napoleon's youngest sister and become the king of Naples... But that is all a matter of another time and space.
Good guys, now we have found two of the three heroes in the army, and the only one missing is Ney.
Moreover, Murat was different from Lazarus. Lazarus could only lead a brigade of cavalry and could not command larger troops. Murat was a general.
An Ning held Murat's hand firmly: "That's great! You came just in time when we need talents like this!"
Berthier looked at all this suspiciously, and just by looking at his expression, it was clear that he had already filled up his mind with tens of thousands of words of plot.
