An Ning frowned and took the golden stick—I mean, the golden flagpole.
An Ning: "The eagle eagle is pretty good."
"Mr. Fouche found the best goldsmith in Lyon." The messenger said proudly.
An Ning held the flagpole and looked at it, thinking that she must not use this flagpole, because in this environment in Europe, even if you use this flagpole, you will be almost the emperor, even if you don't become emperor.
But...it doesn't seem to matter, right?
In real history, the Jacobins created a lot of enemies for the revolution through a killing spree, and then they killed them all themselves. After the Jacobins fell, every Thermidorian who came up were careerists and
Speculator.
Apart from making a lot of money for themselves, these people don't do anything anthropomorphic.
Many of the achievements of the French Revolution were actually not fixed until the time when Napoleon became emperor.
If he takes this opportunity to act as a contemporary Caesar and becomes the First Consul, might he be able to avoid the destruction of the Jacobins?
While An Ning was thinking about this, Napoleon rushed in excitedly and shouted as soon as he came in: "Andy! That's great, I knew you could do it! The 200,000-strong coalition army was beaten away by you just like that!"
"
Napoleon wanted to compliment him a little more, but suddenly he saw the eagle flag in An Ning's hand, and his whole face changed: "This is the eagle flag! The eagle flag of Rome! Are you finally going to directly play the eagle flag? That's great
Yes, the defeated soldiers I captured on the road all said that I was flying the eagle flag, but I didn’t expect it to be true!”
No, no, no, I just got the Eagle Flag!
Napoleon stepped forward and danced happily: "It turns out it's true! He personally held the eagle flag and charged at the enemy. Not even Caesar had done such a thing! Andy, restore the Roman Empire! The Roman Empire around the Mediterranean!"
An Ning looked at Napoleon, a huge fan of Rome, and was speechless.
Is it that simple to rebuild the Roman Empire? It’s not like in P Club games, just click a decision and rebuild Rome...
Even in Paradox games, rebuilding Rome is a big goal that can be regarded as the end goal of the entire game. Generally, after completing the feat of rebuilding Rome, the game is almost ready to be blocked.
Napoleon became more and more excited: "Then we will restore the Roman military system and form a Roman legion..."
In order to shut him up, An Ning put the eagle flagpole into Napoleon's hand.
This trick was indeed effective, and Napoleon immediately turned his attention to the flagpole: "Oh, it's really great, it's so exquisitely made. Did you have this custom-made, Andy?"
"No, it's Commissioner Fouche's handiwork."
Napoleon's expression immediately calmed down: "Fouche? Damn, this man is not loyal, and he definitely has no good intentions. He is just like Talleyrand. If we are going smoothly now, he will be very attentive. When we are unlucky, he will
He will add insult to injury without hesitation!"
An Ning: "I know."
Of course An Ning was very clear about the character of Fouche and Talleyrand.
Speaking of which, Andy Frost originally wanted to use these two people as role models, but unfortunately he can no longer ride the wall.
Napoleon continued: "I heard that Talleyrand went to England to engage in diplomacy. I think he might have colluded with the British guys to sell France at a good price."
An Ning: "Not yet, because Talleyrand is very discerning and he knows that it is more profitable to bet on France now."
Napoleon smiled: "That's right. After all, Andy, you are extremely brave and win consecutive battles. No one will bet on the loser."
At this time, Napoleon turned his attention to Murat and Ney.
"Who are these two? Where is La Salle?"
An Ning shrugged: "He got too carried away and got injured. Now he is probably drinking and touching women's butts every day in Paris."
"Damn, it's really enviable. No, I mean, it's really annoying!" Napoleon said decisively, "At this time, even if you are injured, you still have to go to the battlefield to fight. It's the time when we are short of officers!"
An Ning smiled and introduced Murat and Ney to Napoleon: "This is Noah Murat, a very outstanding cavalry officer, and this is Michel Ney, also very...well, I mean, very
Excellent blacksmith."
After all, Murat was a cavalry officer before the Revolutionary War, so there is no problem in saying that he is excellent.
Ney in this time and space was not only a blacksmith before, but it is obviously inappropriate to say that he was an excellent officer.
An Ning: "Although he is a blacksmith, I feel the potential to become an outstanding officer in him."
Napoleon: "Your feelings are always right. Your ability to recognize people is really impressive! That Bernadotte, I heard that he also fought well in Verdun."
An Ning: "Where is Bernadotte? He didn't come?"
Verdun was much closer to the current location of the Tranquility Headquarters than Sedan.
Napoleon: "The enemies on his side have just retreated, and they are probably busy cleaning the battlefield. The enemies on my side fled early, and by the way, I also brought Archduke Karl with me."
An Ning: "Didn't you tell me earlier? Please hurry up!"
Napoleon snapped his fingers, and his soldiers who were waiting at the door immediately went out and invited the Grand Duke in.
As soon as the Grand Duke entered the door, he stared at the flagpole with the eagle emblem.
Napoleon noticed it and hurriedly hid the flagpole behind him, but the flagpole was too high and he was too short, so the hiding was even more obvious.
Archduke Karl: "It seems that you are ready to declare yourself the living Caesar?"
An Ning: "No, Caesar is the title of the Emperor of the Shinra. The Shinra is still there, so I will not call myself Caesar."
Napoleon: "You can call yourself Augustus."
Augustus is also the honorific title of the Roman emperor, but I don’t know why Byzantium didn’t use it and instead created Basileus himself.
An Ning: "Don't be like this, I know you are joking, but the Grand Duke will take it seriously. I have long admired your name, the younger brother of the Holy Roman Empire, Carl Ludwig John Joseph Lorenz."
Archduke Karl took hold of An Ning's extended hand and said, "Don't take it for granted. You are the truly famous General Frost, the savior of France."
An Ning: "Even the Austrians call me the savior of France?"
"What? I thought it was something like a title..."
"No." An Ning waved his hand, "I am just an ordinary citizen of the Republic. I received the order from the National Assembly to lead the troops to fight, that's all."
While An Ning was humbled, an idea emerged in his mind.
——Wait a minute, maybe it would be interesting to plant a republican seed for Archduke Karl here?
In history, Archduke Karl carried out a series of reforms in Austria after witnessing everything about the Republic, especially the power of the new National Guard.
Although the reform is mainly military, maybe if you step up your efforts, you can push Archduke Karl back to an unimagined path?
Of course, this does not refer to that road, but to the bourgeois revolution. After all, the times are limited.
So An Ning was ready to speak...
At this time, Archduke Karl turned his gaze from the eagle flag to An Ning, his eyes bursting with curiosity: "Sir Frost, can you tell me in detail your views on the advantages of nation-states?"
An Ning was surprised: Yoho, are you asking the question yourself?
Napoleon seemed to be boasting and said: "Ever since I told him about your views on the nation-state, he has been thinking about it, and he would ask me questions and debate with me from time to time! I tried my best, but still couldn't fully understand it.
