Chapter 254 Make sure Frost is not on the front line, the coalition commander decides
After that, An Ning decided to stay in Paris for a while.
An Ning made a small request, giving him a new list of people to be guillotined every day, so that he could think of ways to protect some important people.
For example, on the first day that Anning stayed in Paris, the mathematician Monge was dropped from the list.
He was shocked to see Monge peacefully, because he remembered that Monge originally lived in time and space after Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo.
In other words, in the current chaotic situation, it is uncertain who will suddenly become a Girondin after being reported, and then be sent to the guillotine.
So An Ning strengthened his determination to stay in Paris.
At the very least, he wanted to save as many scientists as possible.
Except for Lavoisier, who was sent away with his father-in-law, An Ning retained Monge, and then incorporated all those from the Standard Weights and Measures Committee into the establishment of the Ministry of War.
The Committee of Weights and Measures is currently engaged in the important work of formulating metric standards. In the future, a series of important weights and measures, including the metric meter and the metric Celsius system, will be formulated by this committee.
Now that they are included in the establishment of the Ministry of War, even if someone reports it, it will have to be handled by the Ministry of War, instead of being handed over to the National Assembly and the People's Court for trial.
All in all, An Ning changed his previous practice of avoiding the political whirlpool in Paris as much as possible, and worked hard to use his authority to protect important people from the out-of-control disorder as much as possible.
The focus of tranquility protection is first on scientists and craftsmen of all walks of life, and then on writers, musicians and painters.
However, he basically does not protect doctors, mainly because he feels that doctors in this era are really useless and will only bleed when encountering problems.
During these days of peacefully staying in Paris, Christina has been in a very good mood.
She also worked hard to help An Ning and inquired about various news in social circles.
Through Christina, An Ning gained a further understanding of the chaos in Paris. According to the ladies and ladies in the social circle, many people in Paris have now seen the opportunity to take advantage of themselves by collecting various black materials and reporting them.
Coveted house or property.
After getting the news, An Ning went to Robespierre overnight and asked for the establishment of a mechanism to review the reports, so as to reduce such unjust, false and wrongful convictions as much as possible, and at the same time severely punish those who made false reports.
Robespierre agreed wholeheartedly.
A few days later, a committee specifically responsible for reviewing the reports was established, but the effectiveness of its work is not yet known.
An Ning could only comfort herself by saying that at least she had taken action.
After all, with the current situation in Paris, unless the terrorist policy can be completely stopped, it will be an impossible task to carefully review the authenticity of every report.
While An Ning was busy in Paris, new changes occurred on the battlefield.

The Allied Forces High Command, the Prussian Commander-in-Chief, the Duke of Braunschweig, and the Austrian Commander-in-Chief, Field Marshal Alvinzi, received a letter they had been waiting for.
Brunswick opened the letter first, quickly read the content and handed the letter to Alvinzi: "Confirmed, Frost is in Paris."
Alvinzi took the letter and said: "Is the news reliable? Let me see, it doesn't say anything about him appearing in public."
"But there are always important officials from the French army visiting the Palace of Versailles. Is it possible that these people are going to visit Frost's fiancée?"
Alvinzi curled his lips: "Well, the possibility of Frost being in Paris is very high! And according to the status report we received in Paris, he may have to stay in Paris for a while. We have to seize this opportunity,
Strike against French field forces outside Paris."
Duke of Brunswick: "Bertier, who is now the acting commander, participated in the New World War of Independence. His performance can only be described as unsatisfactory. Some of the French nobles who fled to me are familiar with him and say that he is powerful as chief of staff.
He is outstanding, but as a commander, he is a bit lacking."
Alvinci nodded, then picked up a compass and drew on the map, and then marked a trail: "This trail can supply about 20,000 troops. We can mobilize the elite and attack the Marne River now."
Berthier section of the ferry."
Braunschweig: "The French army lacks cavalry and only has the two brigades led by La Salle. We can mobilize superior cavalry. The cavalry relies on its mobility advantage and can temporarily rely on supplies to fight."
Alvinzi: "Deploy a corps of 20,000 infantrymen, strengthen four cavalry brigades, and launch an offensive against Berthier's troops! Berthier's troops are all new recruits. Without Frost, who can turn decay into magic, our army will definitely
There will be a great victory.”
Brunswick: "Agree, let's go and give Frost a blow while he is engaged in political struggle in Paris!"

Berthier's headquarters.
After Frost returned to Paris, Berthier commanded the troops to conduct an expulsion operation against the defeated Allied forces, driving them all the way to the vicinity of the Alsace region.
He has always been dedicated to his career as chief of staff and did not want to give up this opportunity to showcase his "talent".
On this day, La Salle rushed into the headquarters with a heavy heart and said to Berthier: "We are in a very dangerous situation now. If the coalition forces in Verdun detach a force to cut off our connection with Paris,
We are in danger and may have to fight an offensive war in a vast wilderness.
"Except for my cavalry, the infantry troops are all new recruits and have no ability to attack at all. Have you forgotten what Andy told us? We must form a stronghold and fight a stupid battle."
Berthier nodded: "You are right, I have my own sense of discretion."
"You have a sense of proportion! Look at our current position! If the enemy comes from here and cuts off this place, we will have to fight an offensive war!" Lasalle drew a few times on the map.
Berthier: "The Verdun Fortress has not been lost. At this time, the enemy does not have enough logistical capabilities to supply troops that are enough to destroy us. No, no, the enemy will not go south without taking Verdun.
This is not in line with the ethics of any country!"
La Salle: "Cao Dian! Let Cao Dian go to hell! I think we should start to retreat immediately, and retreat to the position when Frost handed over the troops to you!"
Berthier: "I will report every day's progress to Lord Frost. He knows our position. If there is a problem, he has already issued orders from Paris."
La Salle: "Paris is in a mess right now. It's not like you don't know it. It's very likely that even Andy...even your Excellency won't be able to care so much!"
"Are you questioning your ability?" Berthier was furious.
Lazarus was also furious: "I think you are passing the blame to him, using the tiger skin as a banner! Damn it, why are you in charge? If Davout had already withdrawn!"
Berthier: "What did you say! Enough! If you feel that it is dangerous now, perform your duties as a cavalryman, go for reconnaissance, and then bring me the actual information, and then convince me! Instead of talking nonsense here based on your imagination!"
"
"I will bring the information! Just wait!" Lasalle turned around angrily and slammed the door.
