At the family dinner table after the wedding, Polina complained loudly.
"I hurried back from Brienne, met the rebels on the way, wasted a whole morning, and finally got back to Paris this morning. Then I immediately rented a horse and rushed to Notre Dame, and finally
Arrived before you took the oath!
"You should praise me, okay! What a difficult task I have accomplished!"
An Ning: "Yes, you did a very good job. It would be better if you could work on how to enter Notre Dame."
Polina: "I'm impatient! What's more, it doesn't matter if you enter through the gate, right?"
An Ning: "I didn't say it was wrong for you to enter through the gate. I meant that you should appear in a more eye-catching way, such as breaking through the windows of Notre Dame or something, and appearing like an angel among the scattered stained glass."
Of course, Polina could tell that An Ning was teasing her, so she opened her mouth and her cheeks bulged: "I didn't do anything bad, and I arrived in time."
An Ning: "Yes, you are not wrong."
"Then you all mock me like this!"
"Because what you did really makes people want to laugh at you." An Ning spread her hands.
Christina interjected: "The main reason is that this approach is a bit different from what is generally believed to be a lady's behavior."
Polina curled her lips: "A lady can't wield a knife or a gun, right? I'm not a lady to begin with, so it doesn't matter."
An Ning: "Christina also graduated from Briena, she is very ladylike."
"Then...then it's my brother's fault!"
Napoleon was doing his job. Hearing this, he raised his head and looked at Paulina in surprise: "Blame me? Can this still involve me?"
"You taught me how to climb trees and fight all day long!"
"While you were climbing trees and fighting, I was busy making money to support our family in Hukou, right? You can't blame me for this."
"I don't care, it's your fault anyway."
An Ning came out to smooth things over: "Forget it, blame me, I shouldn't have teased you."
"Okay, as long as someone takes the blame, the matter stops here." Polina said happily.
An Ning heard Napoleon mutter, "Who does this girl's character look like?"
Polina heard Napoleon's words and was obviously about to protest again. An Ning interrupted him forcibly, raised her glass and said: "Everyone, in order to celebrate that Napoleon and I have entered a new stage in life today, I propose that we drink a toast.
!”
Sitting around the table were An Ning's close associates, including Berthier, Bernadotte, Moreau, Lazarcano and other powerful figures who now control the military power of the Republic.
In addition, there are also people who have always been very close to An Ning, such as the painter David and Beethoven.
Let's raise a toast together.
La Salle said loudly: "I wish the boss a smooth career and achieve more glorious military exploits!"
Napoleon: "I wish Andy to become the Caesar of France!"
"He already is." Beethoven said, "When Caesar conquered Gaul, the General also conquered it once."
An Ning: "I did not conquer France, I fought for France."
Napoleon: "You conquered France with your charm and bravery, not force! You conquered France. Look at the big scene in Notre Dame today. The most distinguished gentlemen in Paris are here."
An Ning smiled and looked at Napoleon and had a thought in her mind: "You still know how to blow."
At this moment, Bernadotte suddenly said: "It may not be a good time to talk about this matter, but I think everyone here wants to know, when will we head to Lai Yin?"
Before An Ning answered, a strange association suddenly occurred.
There is a military song of the Second German Reich called "March to England", which most German soldiers know. It may be second only to the Panzer Song in popularity among German military songs.
So An Ning started humming directly, but changed England to Lai Yin.
Although there will be problems with rhyming, he believes that the universal translation plug-in will take care of it.
When Beethoven heard An Ning and started humming a tune, his face immediately showed an expression of surprise.
After humming a few words, An Ning said: "I didn't think much about it later, but don't worry, we will definitely invade the Inn River Basin, not only to the Inn River, but also to the north into the Low Countries.
"We played a role when the Netherlands became independent. Now we should help them liberate themselves from the rule of the feudal aristocracy and bring them freedom, equality and fraternity!"
Moreau said excitedly: "Are we going to establish a republic in the Low Countries?"
"Of course! We establish republics in the Low Countries and the free Confederation of Rhine in the Rhine Valley. A free Europe will gradually be realized under our attack. We will end the crowns of European monarchs just like we ended the crown of France.
Smash them all!"
Several republican officers were obviously ecstatic, but Napoleon was interested in another direction: "Build the Roman Republic again! We don't want this son of Rome who is neither holy nor Roman nor an empire!"
An Ning shook his head: "No, I don't intend to establish a unified republic. I think the people in each place should decide their own destiny. After they gain their own freedom, they can decide with their free will whether to join the alliance of the republic we established!
"
These words made Beethoven, a German, obviously happy: "Decide your own destiny! This is so right. I have many friends. We have long been dissatisfied with the Habsburgs who rule us!"
An Ning: "Really? Then when our army marches into your hometown, I have to trouble you to find your friends. After all, we can't put a governor to rule the place like those feudal countries.
"We are just helping you to establish your own parliament. It depends on you how to proceed!"
At this time, Berthier said: "It sounds like we will gain almost no visible benefits from the war. Can the Parliament agree? The Parliament is counting on us to plunder a large amount of wealth from the Low Countries and the wealthy Lain region."
An Ning: "Wealth can actually be obtained by innovating production technology. In fact, our current spinning factories are already very profitable. It's a pity that there is current domestic turmoil and the indiscriminate issuance of securities. There are a lot of problems like this."
"Once we defeat the Habsburgs and have a stable external environment, we can concentrate on solving domestic problems.
"For example, we will completely abolish the banknotes and switch to banknotes issued by my bank. This time we will issue banknotes in a controlled manner to ensure the value of the banknotes.
“We also need to carry out thorough land reform so that farmers can have money to buy our products.
"In cities, we should also try to increase the income of trousersmen as much as possible, for the same reason as above!
"Gentlemen, I want to correct your understanding. We do not go out of the country to plunder and build glory. We do it to create a safe external environment for the development of the Republic.
"This sounds awkward, but I still have to say that we must use war to prevent the war from continuing.
"Understand? Although we are all soldiers, we cannot love war! The reason why we fight is to stop the war!"
After An Ning finished his impromptu speech, the restaurant was completely silent. Then Napoleon took the lead in applauding: "Well said! So well said!"
The painter David was busy writing with a pencil, obviously wanting to record what Anning had just said and write it into the biography of Frost he was writing.
