In the blink of an eye, life in the military academy began for a month.
In this month, An Ning and Napoleon were reduced to the bottom of the class. Napoleon was because he was from Corsica and was poor.
An Ning is because he is a civilian.
But An Ning has a magic weapon: take off his gloves. As soon as he takes off his gloves, the nobles will immediately start talking nicely.
Especially after An Ning relied on the anti-counterattack ability provided by the system to block the instructor's attack in the swordsmanship class, no one dared to make a mistake in front of An Ning who was holding gloves.
It is said that the aristocratic classmates in the same class are already spreading rumors that An Ning is actually the swordsmanship teacher of the Duke's family and an unparalleled swordsmanship prodigy.
As for how a commoner could become a swordsman prodigy, it is of course because An Ning is actually a reclusive nobleman.
The most exaggerated theory is that An Ning was actually the illegitimate son of Louis XIV and was fostered in the Duke of Orleans' family.
However, this rumor did not change An Ning's situation of being ostracized by aristocratic classmates in the class.
Tranquility didn't matter, since Napoleon was destined to be ostracized because of his Corsican origin. At this moment, he took the opportunity of being ostracized to establish a deep friendship with the future Emperor of France.
When Napoleon becomes emperor in the future, he will definitely remember the good friends who were ostracized together in Brienne!
Moreover, after Napoleon became emperor, he liked to confer titles on his relatives and friends, and he might also be able to get a duke or prince or something.
In the first month of life at the military academy, An Ning only saw the aristocratic ladies at Brienne Military Academy at Christina's dance.
An Ning also danced with one of the girls with big breasts, but ended up stepping on her feet hard.
The aristocratic classmates who attended the dance together did not miss the opportunity to laugh at An Ning until An Ning took out her gloves.
Napoleon had no interest in Christina's ball, but An Ning forcibly dragged him there, so he kept eating the desserts made by the chef Christina brought from Paris.
It can be seen that Napoleon, who was still half a boy, still had the same desire for desserts as a child.
As a child, it’s normal to like to eat sweets.
But when An Ning looked at Napoleon with an expression that said, "Big brother understands you," he discovered it, and Napoleon never ate another piece of dessert.
He probably regarded this as a weakness of his and stubbornly wanted to overcome it.
In addition to inviting Napoleon to Christina's ball, An Ning also invited Napoleon to her home many times to hold reading parties and exchange experiences with him about reading books by Rousseau and others.
In addition, because Napoleon couldn't bear to light his own candle, he would often go to An Ning's house at night to read by the light of an oil lamp.
That evening, Napoleon came again.
After Fanny led him to An Ning's study on the second floor, she looked at An Ning with a meaningful look. Apparently Fanny still suspected that An Ning was a pervert who liked Shota.
An Ning: "Fanny, you've finished your work for the night. Come here and read with us. I know you bought the latest romance novel today, so you don't have to light another lamp."
Fanny: "Won't this disturb you?"
"No. Rather, our discussion might disturb you."
Fanny: "Hey, discussion? What kind of discussion?"
Just as An Ning was about to answer, Napoleon couldn't help but asked An Ning: "Yesterday you told me that France has reached a point where social change is about to break out, and the French people have reached the eve of awakening, so what do you mean?
Massive changes are coming, aren’t they?”
An Ning: "Yes, but people are inert creatures. As long as life goes on, they will procrastinate."
Napoleon asked with concern: "How can we get them to take action?"
An Ning shrugged: "Maybe a natural disaster? Because a natural disaster made it difficult for everyone to live, so the general outbreak came."
Napoleon immediately retorted: "How is it possible? France is so big, has a good climate, and is full of fertile grain-producing areas. What kind of natural disaster would it take to make the whole of France unable to survive?"
It can only be said that it was Napoleon who immediately noticed the crux of the problem.
It is not easy for a large-scale revolution to break out in a place with good natural conditions. A place like Brazil, a place favored by God, is like a bear, and a big revolution has not yet broken out.
Because the natural conditions in that place are so good, the people can have enough to eat just by dealing with them.
The reason why the French Revolution broke out in 1789 was because there were natural disasters throughout France in 1788, which reduced food production throughout the year.
The people continued to starve until the middle of 1789, and then the general outbreak broke out.
An Ning: "How should I put it? Some things will come when they are supposed to come."
Napoleon curled his lips. He obviously didn't want to dwell on this issue related to the number of days, so he changed the topic directly: "Then assuming that the general outbreak comes, after that, France will suddenly become the kind of civil society described by Rousseau.
?”
An Ning shook his head: "Of course not."
"Why?"
"Because France is such a big country, everyone's level of ideological awakening is different. People in Paris have a high literacy rate. They read Enlightenment newspapers all day long, listen to orators' speeches on the streets, and watch plays. They will naturally become more educated quickly.
Become a qualified citizen.
"But there are still vast rural areas in France. The villagers have never read a book, are not even literate, and have no idea of the Enlightenment. They first started to resist, maybe simply because they could no longer survive.
"But these people will not become citizens all of a sudden because of the arrival of change. Their initial demand is just to have enough to eat. When this demand is satisfied, they will demand to live the stable life in the past."
Napoleon frowned: "You mean, the people will be divided?"
"Yes, this is inevitable."
"What happens after that? What happens after the split?"
"Use your brain. The people have already tried violence once to express themselves. They will continue to resort to violence, and the division of the people will turn into civil war."
Napoleon looked at An Ning in confusion: "Why do you look like you have seen them do this with your own eyes when you say this? You seem to be saying something that is bound to happen. Why are you so confident..."
Because I have really seen it... To you, it is the future, but to me, it is the past written in history textbooks.
Of course An Ning couldn't say that, so An Ning showed a mysterious smile: "We can make a bet, twenty su."
Napoleon curled his lips: "I won't make a bet with you. Betting is something that can only be done when there are differences, but I was convinced by you. If France is destined to have a civil war in the future, don't we soldiers have a good chance? After all, it has been going on for years.
In the chaotic years of civil war, the value of force will become higher."
An Ning nodded: "That's what it is. In that kind of chaotic situation, a military dictatorship may even be born. Just like what happened in Rome back then, think of Caesar and Octavian."
Yes, you, Napoleon, will become the Caesar of France.
Napoleon looked at An Ning: "I remember Andy, you took the initiative to ask the Duke to recommend you to Brienne Military Academy? Could it be that... this is your plan after seeing through the future?"
No, no, no, I took the initiative to come to Brienne because you are here.
I'm here to get close to you and hold your thigh.
But An Ning couldn't say this directly.
Napoleon nodded to himself: "What a terrible vision and action."
——Wait a minute, is there something wrong...
Did I pretend to be too high based on the script I had read?
At this time, An Ning's system suddenly popped up and prompted: [Napoleon Bonaparte admires you even more.]
