The news that An Ning was going to meet Robespierre alone in the carriage quickly spread.
With a stinky face, Larevelie Lebel found Paul Barras in the stands: "The speaker of the National Assembly, the theoretical head of state, but Frost asked him to get on the carriage to talk about something.
, it’s all gone. I think it’s better to just make Frost the Lord Protector, and then give him the status of lifelong ruler!”
Barras: "Although he does not serve in the National Assembly, he is the leader of the Jacobins and the recognized leader of the Jacobins. I asked the general to tighten the reins of the current situation."
"You have already gone to find him." Lebel curled his lips, "I hope it will work. If this continues, I don't know how many people will suffer. Maybe other public figures except the Jacobins will be beheaded.
"
Barras: "No. The more the Jacobins wantonly massacre their opponents, the more dissatisfaction they will arouse. Robespierre is too mystical, and the incorruptible are the ones in this world.
He is an alien, he does not understand that there must be necessary compromises in this world. The so-called negotiation is actually an art of compromise."
LeBel: "Will Frost compromise?"
"Of course he will. On the surface, he has been promoting the revolution, but in fact he has a very flexible bottom line. He is a pragmatic politician."
Balas paused and said in an admiring tone: "He is a clever guy, different from the incorruptible. It should be said that we should be lucky to have him to pull Robespierre's reins, otherwise
Otherwise, I’m afraid we can only wait until everyone is tired of the Jacobin terror, and then find a way to end this madness.”
Lebel: "I don't know how long it will take."
"Yes, so let's hope that the reins will be useful. The good news is that Frost does not agree with the current situation of blind expansion.
"There's no better news than this."
After Barras breathed a sigh of relief, Lebel suddenly approached him and whispered: "By saying this, does it mean that if something happens to Robespierre, Frost will not anger the people?"
parliament?"
Barras glared at Lebel fiercely: "Don't act rashly! Robespierre is going to expand, and he will use the courts and the guillotine, Frost to clean up Paris - you know what he will do! That is in
The ruthless men who blasted traitors with shotguns in the streets of Paris! No one can mess with Frost!"
Lebel: "Didn't you say that Frost disapproved of the Incorruptibles' approach?"
"But he still recognizes him as a friend. At best, this is a disagreement between friends, you know? If you do that kind of thing, you are an enemy, and he will use cannons to deal with the enemy!" Barras finished.
He looked around guiltily, and then warned again, "Don't think in this direction, never!"

As soon as Robespierre got on Ning Ning's carriage, he said excitedly: "I heard that you came back from the front, and I was thinking about when to visit you at the headquarters in Versailles! Let me tell you, I am in Paris.
The hidden enemies are revealed one after another!
"Soon all Paris will be wiped out and only the patriots will be left!"
An Ning: "Maximilian, have you ever thought that sending people to the guillotine on such a large scale will push people who did not oppose us to the opposite side?"
Robespierre glared at An Ning: "What do you mean? [Jean] is already dead, assassinated by a hidden traitor using despicable means! At this time, drastic measures must be taken to completely eliminate the traitor!"
Marat's full name is Jean Paul Marat.
An Ning: "I am also very sad about Jean's death, but this cannot be the reason for us to abuse the guillotine. Everyone who is sent to the guillotine should have conclusive evidence to prevent unjust, false and wrongful convictions!"
Robespierre: "This is what we do! The evidence for everyone who has been guillotined is conclusive! I know that you are afraid of killing innocent people by mistake. I guarantee that even if this happens, it will be very rare!"
Robespierre paused and then said: "Moreover, even if a few people make a mistake, it doesn't matter. The situation is so critical now. We would rather kill dozens or hundreds of people by mistake than let a single royalist go.
A Girondin!"
An Ning was directly silenced by Robespierre. It seemed that Robespierre felt from the bottom of his heart that he had done the right thing.
This kind of person cannot be persuaded.
No wonder in the original history, he later parted ways with his original friends Dandong and others.
On the battlefield, An Ning never despaired. No matter how bad the situation was, he still felt that there was a chance of improvement. But now facing Robespierre, who showed no signs of confusion, An Ning felt helpless for the first time.
Could it be said that the key to saving Robespierre lies in protecting Marat?
An Ning still wanted to make a last attempt, so he said to Robespierre: "You were originally very gentle, and you have always been responsible for holding back Danton and Marat who were rushing ahead..."
"It was because of my gentleness that they killed him in the most despicable way! I am very ashamed. You had already noticed the danger and sent him bodyguards, but I did nothing!"
Robespierre showed an expression of self-blame: "It can be said that I killed Jean. His death made me understand that kindness to the enemy is cruelty to the comrades!"
An Ning was speechless.
The moderate Robespierre is no longer here, and now here is the steel-like "incorruptible" who will guillotine all he considers his enemies.
Tranquility has given up and now adopts this policy of terror, which is objectively beneficial to stabilizing Paris.
Despite the crazy beheadings in Paris right now, the overall order is actually pretty good.
We will wait until all the invading troops in France are driven away.
Robespierre: "How long will you stay in Paris?"
"Stay until the day of burial." An Ning replied.
"Is that so? Is there any problem on the front line?"
"In general, there should be no problem. We have defeated the weaker of the three enemy groups. There are still two groups blocked at Sedan and one at the foot of Verdun. Strong fortresses will block them. Continue.
Next, after adding new troops, we will conduct mobile operations between the Somme and Marne rivers to lift the siege of the two fortresses."
Robespierre: "I don't understand military matters. In short, everything is under your control, right?"
"So to speak."
"Very good, then we can hold a grand funeral with peace of mind."
An Ning: "A grand funeral?"
"Yes, let this funeral be the death knell for the hidden royalists and Girondins in Paris!"
An Ning: "Maximilian, the most stubborn royalist in Paris, has been beaten into pieces by Napoleon with cannon!"
"But not the Girondins!" Robespierre responded sonorously.
For a moment, An Ning thought about using coercion to make Robespierre stop, but then he thought about it, the policy of terror did maintain the stability of Paris, and it did crack down on potential royalists and traitors.
So An Ning finally made a choice.
Compared with a chaotic rear, it is better to have a stable rear, even if the cost is the blood of a lot of innocent people.
As for Robespierre's transformation into a great devil, if you think about it better, Frost is still the leader of the Four Jacobins. Robespierre is just the second in command. Theoretically speaking, he can stop it at any time.
