An Ning's brows knitted into knots, wondering why the plot didn't go according to his own ideas. When he came today, he wanted to remove Robespierre and put him in charge of compiling the Civil Code. But in the end, everything was gone.
Like a wild horse, completely out of control.
The congressmen didn't care what An Ning thought, and even his soldiers didn't care. Everyone was shouting: "First Consul!"
Napoleon was as excited as a child and shouted "Caesar".
Fouche seemed to be very satisfied with this scene. After the crowd's voices faded slightly, he announced loudly: "I heard that the General has widely used the eagle flag on the front line. Let's just make this a formal rule and make it together."
Come down!"
The crowd began to chant again: "Eagle flag!"
An Ning just watched the noise of this group of people, as if he were a bystander.
He suddenly heard something huge, laughing at him.
He tried to resist and said: "We should first decide how to deal with former Speaker Robespierre..."
Danton interrupted An Ning: "How to deal with Robespierre is no longer an important matter. It's nothing more than that anyway. You should just obey everyone's wishes. Look, whether it's a member of parliament or a visitor,
The Parisian people who are watching, as well as your soldiers, are all looking forward to this event.
"It's better to decide this kind of thing first."
An Ning hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed: "Okay, let's vote on whether to appoint Andy Frost as the First Consul of France."
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole room rang out with uneven shouts: "Agree!"
Not only the congressmen, but also soldiers and ordinary citizens who did not have the right to vote were shouting: "Agree!"
Theoretically, there is still a series of vote counting processes, but Fouche seemed to be the host of the entire meeting. He waved his hand: "The result is beyond doubt. Please write down the secretary. The French National Assembly passed unanimously...
No, Robespierre and Saint-Just can no longer vote. The French National Assembly, with two abstentions and 713 votes in favor, passed the resolution to elect General Andy Frost as the First Consul.
!”
Everyone cheered.
La Salle found a military uniform from nowhere, rushed to An Ning and wanted to put it on him.
Fouche stopped him loudly: "Military uniforms cannot highlight the dignity of the First Consul. I propose to use this!"
Then he and Talleyrand collected the huge tricolor flag hanging in front of the speaker's seat and draped it on An Ning's shoulders like a cloak.
At this moment, An Ning suddenly understood the mood of a certain general named Zhao.
What the hell?
An Ning knew that he was fully qualified to establish a military dictatorship in France. France was his if he wanted to.
But the problem is that he doesn't want to.
He has always admired the Argentine general in the first half of the two issues of Allende written by John Khan Jr.
The general refused the CIA's coercion and inducement. At the last moment of his life, he was still fighting with the traitors supported by the CIA. His last words before his death were "defend the constitution."
He wants to be such a general.
An Ning has watched the movie "The Fifth Republic" many times and often makes fun of the jokes in it, but if given a choice, he doesn't want to be a junior general...
He wanted to protect the French Republic and put France on a better path than it had historically been.
But now, everyone is cheering for the birth of the First Consul.
The tricolor flag of France has become a cloak of tranquility.
An Ning was stunned by the development that was completely out of control.
Finally, he finally regained his composure.
After sighing quietly, he decided not to think about how things turned out like this, but to think about what he could do if things turned out like this.
Thinking on the bright side, if he wants to make some reforms in France now, no one can stop him.
But before that, he had to decide something first.
An Ning raised her hand and made a downward gesture.
The noisy parliament hall fell silent in an instant.
An Ning said: "Then, the first thing I have to do as the First Consul is to decide how to deal with the assassin who assassinated me and the mastermind behind it!"
I don’t know who is shouting: “Death penalty!”
Then everyone shouted: "Death penalty!"
An Ning did not hesitate and said with a firm and unquestionable voice: "No! I will pardon Robespierre with the power of the First Consul!"
The entire parliament hall was filled with exclamations of surprise.
Barras asked: "If a murderer can be pardoned, where is the dignity of the law?"
An Ning said coldly: "Haven't the laws of the Republic not been formulated yet? The current constitution is already the constitution of the previous dynasty."
Fouche: "But Robespierre executed many people in the name of the law, and their relatives and friends would not agree."
An Ning: "They can seek redress from me."
Yes, An Ning has decided to keep Paul Bospierre alive.
Without Fouche's hand, Anning would not be the first in power, and he might just follow public opinion.
But now that he is the First Consul of France, he decided to be willful for once.
Fouche and Talleyrand looked at each other, and then Talleyrand said: "But is it not good to pardon both of them? At least the one who directly executed it must die, otherwise your generals will not agree."
An Ning nodded: "Saint Just, who was directly executed, attempted murder. I think he should be sent to the guillotine."
Barras did not give up: "What about Robespierre? He has regarded you as an enemy of France. If you keep him... I'm afraid there will be troubles in the future!"
An Ning: "I propose that Robespierre be exiled to Elba."
An Ning suggested this mainly because the islands he could think of right now were Elba and St. Helena, but only Elba is currently controlled by France.
There was another discussion in the hall.
Fouche was obviously very satisfied with the result, so he said loudly: "So regarding the proposal of His Excellency the First Consul, I think we can start voting, or should we discuss it further?"
Talleyrand said directly: "No need to discuss, let's vote directly. We are moved by the compassion of the First Consul. In time, this will definitely become a good story!"
So the voting started again, and An Ning just stood on the podium and watched them operate.
At this time, Napoleon whispered in his ear: "It's too annoying. Let's do it in one step and save this process. Royal power also has the benefits of royal power. When the king is a wise king..."
An Ning interrupted Napoleon: "I would rather have the worst democracy than the best democracy."
Napoleon curled his lips, and then sighed: "So you are a noble person that I cannot match."
An Ning's words were also heard by the surrounding officers, and both Bernadotte and Moreau showed expressions of reverence.
At the same time, An Ning's royal biographer, the painter David, immediately recorded these words with a pen.
