Chapter 172： Chief of the General Staff of St. Arnault

Of course, Jerome Bonaparte understands that there will be some people who will choose to oppose the full connection between the President's Military Secretary and the War Department.

However, he didn't care about the objections of those military bureaucrats in the War Department. Cleaning the War Department had become a must in Jerome Bonaparte's mind.

Those who are unwilling to follow in the footsteps of Jerome Bonaparte can follow Louis-Philippe.

"Kill it! Kill it! Catch it! I don't believe that they don't have any blemishes, you just need to seize their blemishes and make a fuss!" Jerome Bonaparte said to General Reno with a sneer.

"Yes!" General Reynio responded meticulously.

"By the way! Brigadier General Conrobert recommended me a person after he left office, and he will help you manage the War Department!" Jerome Bonaparte calmly appointed Minister Reno to the Secretary of State. power taken away.

General Reño's expression showed a hint of surprise. Could it be that the president was worried about him?

However, he still chose to follow Jerome Bonaparte's orders.

"It's not that I don't trust you, it's the character of your minister... I assure you that the new secretary of state will follow your instructions!" In order to prevent a misunderstanding by Minister Reynolds, Jerome Bona Bart explained.

"Your Excellency, I want to know who is the Secretary of State for the War Department!" Minister Reynold asked in a low voice.

"General Saint Arnault!" Jerome Bonaparte responded immediately: "He will come to Paris in the near future and serve as my adjutant."

After Jerome Bonaparte had a conversation with Minister Reno, Minister Reno left.

…

On October 30, after nearly a month of waiting.

Wardray finally returned to Paris with General Saint Arnault and two captains.

They were arranged by Pessini to different rooms to wait for the audience of Jerome Bonaparte.

"Did nothing happen on the way back?" Jerome Bonaparte in the study asked Wardley with a tired expression.

"Your Majesty, no!" Wardray responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

He didn't want to tell Jérôme Bonaparte that he almost suffered a prison sentence for some reason. These things may be a big thing for him, but they are a trivial thing for the president.

Although he can ask the president to arrest these people, this is just killing the chicken with a knife, and the president's affection for each person will become weak as they ask for it again and again.

"Yeah!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded and continued, "Where are General Saint Arnault and Captain Miguel now?"

"Your Majesty, I have placed them in the reception room! They are waiting for your summons at any time!" Wardley asked again cautiously: "Would you like to, I will call them over to meet you!"

"No need!" Jerome Bonaparte shook his head: "Let's go! Take me to meet them!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Under the leadership of Wardray, Jerome Bonaparte first came to the reception room where Saint Arnault was.

The door of the reception room slowly opened. When the door opened, Jerome Bonaparte took the opportunity to look inside the door. Standing outside the door, he saw General Saint Arnault.

At this time, General Saint Arnault was sitting dignifiedly in a chair.

He has gray hair, and every headline is slightly curled, giving people the feeling of a slight ion scald in later generations. A moustache that is not too thick or thick hangs around his mouth. A discreet and dependable feeling.

Perhaps because of the battle in Algeria, General Saint Arnault's skin was a little darker than that of ordinary people, but he was not as dark as the civil engineer that Jerome Bonaparte saw later on the Internet.

Although it was said that Saint Arno had come all the way from Algeria, he was still full of energy, and he didn't feel like he was running for a long time.

Compared with General Saint Arno, who has been fighting all year round, Wardray is obviously somewhat inadequate.

Because Jerome Bonaparte's appearance is somewhat similar to that of Emperor Napoleon, General Saint Arnault also heard a lot of news from Paris in the colony, which made him see Jerome Bonaparte's first It was immediately obvious that Jérôme Bonaparte was the president.

"Your Excellency!" General Saint Arnault hurriedly stood up to greet Jerome Bonaparte.

"General, sit down!" Jerome Bonaparte raised his hand to signal the general to sit down.

The general with his **** hanging in the air had to obey Jerome Bonaparte's order and sit down.

Jerome Bonaparte walked quickly to St. Arnault's side and took a seat.

The servant put two cups of coffee on the round table in front of them.

"You're welcome, General!" Jerome Bonaparte once again stretched out his hand to invite General Saint Arnault to taste coffee.

"Yes!" Saint Arnault took a sip of coffee and swallowed it.

After St. Arnault had swallowed completely, Jerome Bonaparte said: "General, I heard about you from Colonel Trosch! I don't know, are you willing to do it for France and for me? Serve!"

"Of course!" Saint Arnault responded decisively with a trembling voice: "Your Excellency... Thank you for thinking of me as a veteran... I will use all my abilities to repay your trust in me!"

"General, trust is not a word of mouth!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Saint Arnault with a smile on his face: "General, as far as I know you have many colleagues in the Ministry of War, if they get in the way What will you do when it comes to the construction of the country..."

"I will firmly carry out the orders you gave me!" General Saint Arnault said firmly to Jerome Bonaparte: "If a soldier cannot fully implement the orders of the President, then he is not a pure Soldiers! In my opinion, soldiers take execution of orders as their duty, and those who cannot execute orders decisively are not worthy of being called soldiers! Such people are not worthy of being in the army, even if they are my friends, I will eliminate them without hesitation!"

After General Saint Arnault received the presidential letter that Wardray gave him, he already knew that this was an opportunity, and he had to seize the opportunity firmly.

For a soldier who has been frustrated for many years, every opportunity needs to be cherished, and his time no longer allows him to wait.

Whoever dares to stand in his way, he will crush him without hesitation.

Not to mention his former colleagues, even his relatives and friends are no exception.

Jerome Bonaparte heard the determination and ambition hidden in the words of General Saint Arnault. He needed people like General Saint Arnault to help him complete the final coup d'état.

"General, I think it is entirely possible for you to be the Minister of War!" Jerome Bonaparte first encouraged General Saint Arnault, and then said to General Saint Arnault with a regretful expression: "It's a pity that General Reynaud has already served as the As the Minister of War, can you please condescend to take up the post of Secretary of State!"

"Of course!" For Saint Arnault, what position he holds is not an important thing, what matters is being able to maintain friendship with the president.

"General Saint Arnault, you will take over all the positions of Brigadier General Canrobel. While you are serving as adjutant and secretary of state, you will also be responsible for the Office of the Military Secretary! At present, the Office of the Military Secretary is seamlessly connecting with the Ministry of War. I I hope you can work with Minister Reno to bridge the conflict between the Military Secretariat and the War Department!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Saint Arnault with a serious expression: "I don't want the War Department and the Military Secretariat. What a big problem in the docking process!"

"I assure you that there will be no problems!" General Saint Arnault bowed to Jerome Bonaparte and responded decisively: "If there is any mistake, I am willing to ask to leave!"

"Okay! I believe in you!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded slightly. He was very satisfied with Saint Arnault's decisive attitude. He believed that Saint Arnault would do his best to complete the task he gave him.

In order to inspire General St. Arnault's Jerome Bonaparte, he revealed a message to St. Arnault: "General, I can tell you that the duty of the Military Secretariat is to designate battle plans in the future. After the War Department is completely stabilized, I will deprive the War Department of its war-related functions and integrate it into the Military Secretary Office! At that time, the Military Secretary Office will become the highest authority in France to control the army, and you will also Call it the General Staff, and you'll be the Army Chief of Staff!"

"Chief of the General Staff?!" Jerome Bonaparte's promise made St. Arnault's whole body's blood boil. He remembered Berthier, the Chief of Staff of Emperor Napoleon, since His Excellency the President said that the General Staff was in In the future, it will become an institution to command the entire army, so he, the chief of the general staff, may have greater power than Berthier.

I will be remembered in history!

Saint Arnault cried out in a frenzy in his heart.

Jerome Bonaparte had a panoramic view of Saint Arnault's expression. He patted Saint Arnault on the shoulder and said, "That's right! By that time, you will become the supreme commander of the entire army!"

"No! You are the supreme commander of the army!" Saint Arnault bowed humbly to Jerome Bonaparte: "The emperor created the army, and you, as his nephew, should have the authority of supreme command! I will Crush all your enemies for you!"

After Jerome Bonaparte talked with General St. Arnault for nearly an hour, Jerome Bonaparte briefly explained to St. Arnault the political changes in Paris and the problems he would face. Temporarily separated from St. Arnault.

After leaving St. Arnault's room, Jerome Bonaparte came to another door. What he was about to see was Captain Mignet who brought the muzzle gun to the peak.
