Fox of France

The National Assembly quickly sent a man named Camacho to take over as the commander of the Northern Army. Camacho is a frequent visitor to the Roland couple's salon, in other words, he is a Brisso faction. It is said that he had participated in the Seven Years' War and served as a platoon leader in the war. Later, after the Revolution, he also held a number of positions in the War Ministry, and most recently commanded the army to suppress a church rebellion in Brittany.

With such experience, he is not suitable for the position of commander of the Northern Army. Kano even believes that instead of letting Camacho be the commander, it is better to let Napoleon or Joseph directly be the commander. But the Brissotites were very much against it. Because they felt that the Jacobins in the Bonaparte brothers were too strong, and if one of them became the commander of the Northern Army, it would not be a good thing for the Brissot faction. There are three main reasons for them: first, the Bonaparte brothers are too young; second, their relationship with Carnot is too close. If they hold such an important position, Kano may have the opportunity to become a dictator in the future. The reason why Kano proposed Napoleon Bonaparte to take this position is for this reason, maybe a series of previous failures... In short, everything is a conspiracy by Carnot; thirdly, the Bonaparte brothers let Dimouriez go, and there are doubts about whether they are loyal to the revolution.

On the other hand, Danton also supported the Brissot faction. This is very strange, because the Brissot faction is attacking Danton at the moment. He went to Belgium himself, but did not find any signs of Dumouriez's rebellion. It must be because he took money from Dumouriez. But Danton actually supported them. Some people think that Danton wanted to compromise with the Brissot faction, while others thought that Danton agreed to let a Brissot faction be the commander because he saw the critical situation in the north and believed that the next failure was inevitable.

Anyway, this guy named Camacho became the commander of the Northern Army. This appointment made Kano very dissatisfied, because he felt that the reasons against the Bonaparte brothers as the commander of the Northern Army were all nonsense.

First of all, Brother Bonaparte is indeed very young, but commanding operations does not rely on long beards. How old was it when Alexander the Great led his army to Persia? Even smaller than the current Napoleon. As for the saying that the Bonaparte brothers let Dumouriez go, that is completely taking the overall situation into account, because if the Northern Army loses those middle and low-level officers, it will definitely collapse. It can be said that it was Napoleon who saved the entire Northern Army with decisive actions!

As for saying that he will become a dictator because of this? This is simply an insult to his personality. The irritable Kano threw his gloves directly in the face of the guy named Goriot who said so, and told him that he could choose a pistol, a rapier, or a dagger. If he was still a man, Then solve the problem in a man's way.

However, that guy Goriot actually shrunk like that, and he shamelessly apologized to Kano, saying that he didn't mean anything like that. This is really... What's even worse is that, after he finished apologizing, he turned his back, and when people laughed at him for being timid, he actually said again: "Kano is an officer, and he is a professional in all kinds of duel skills." .He proposes that a duel, no matter what weapon is used, is unfair, even murder..."

Kano was going crazy with this guy: "Tomorrow I will propose, I will tie one hand and fight him!"

"Monsieur Cano, I don't think you should fight such a thing. A duel is an honorable thing, at least in our Corsican eyes. You do him an honor by challenging him to a duel. But is such a thing worthy of the glory of a duel? In my opinion, he is not worthy at all! He only deserves to be whipped severely, just like the master whips a lazy ass!" At Kano's words, Lucien, who was always afraid that the world would not be chaotic, immediately left the math problem he was calculating and ran out of the study.

"Early tomorrow morning, Mr. Carnot, you take me with you. We will stop the donkey at the gate of the Congress. I will stop the others with two pistols. Then, Mr. Carnot, you can beat it hard, just use it. The whip whips hard!"

Kano glared at Lucien's words and said, "Lucien, what nonsense are you talking about? Have you finished your homework? Show it to me?"

"Not yet, there is only a little left, it will be ready soon, I'm going to do my homework." Lucien immediately oiled his feet and slipped into the study.

Lucien went into the study and went to do his homework obediently, or at least seemingly obediently. But after Kano sat down by himself, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Lucien said seemed very reasonable and feasible. So he couldn't sit still any longer, stood up, picked up his coat and hat, and planned to go out.

"Lazar, it's time for dinner, where are you going?" asked his wife hastily.

"I'm in a hurry, don't wait for me." Kano said as he went out.

Early the next morning, Kano took two friends—Congressman Esper, and Congressman Deron.

The three stopped Goriot at the gate of the Congress. Without further ado, Kano stepped forward and punched Goriot on the nose, causing blood to flow out. I opened an oil sauce shop, and salty, sour, and spicy all came out.

Goriot yelled, stepped back crookedly, covered his nose with one hand, pointed at Kano with the other, and said in a vague language: "Kano...you...you are so...you can... So barbaric...have something to say...good..."

Kano didn't say much, and rushed forward again, and punched again in the face, but right on the eye socket, it cracked Goriot's eyes, and green beads burst out, like opening a silk shop. Red, green, and purple will all bloom.

Goriot couldn't keep his feet, he leaned back and sat down on the ground.

The surrounding Brisso faction members wanted to come forward to rescue, but at this moment they heard a gunshot, and saw Espar holding a smoking pistol with the muzzle upside down in one hand, and a gun in the other hand. Another pistol was pointed at everyone, and Deron on one side also drew two pistols, blocking the way between those congressmen and Cano Gorio.

"Everyone, this is just a personal grievance. I hope you don't interfere." Esper said to everyone very politely, holding two guns.

It may be because Espar's speech was very convincing. Even the members of the Brisso faction were persuaded by him, obediently stood by and watched, and made such voices from time to time:

"Oh, Mr. Kano, if you have something to say, don't, don't do this..."

"Ah...don't...don't be like this..."

Kano took out the prepared whip from his jacket, and whipped it towards Goriot who fell on the ground: "I tell you to spread rumors behind your back! I tell you to slander people at will! I tell you..."

The whip fell on Goriot's head and face like raindrops, and Goriot held his head in both hands and was beaten and rolled all over the floor. In the beginning, he cursed Kano angrily as a barbarian, and then sued Rao: "Mr. Kano, please forgive me, I will never dare again! Never dare again!"

"Bah!" Kano pointed his whip at Goriot and said, "If you are tough to the end, I won't beat you; if you want to beg for mercy, I will still beat you!"

After scolding, another whip was whipped like raindrops. The smoked Goriot begged for mercy, cursed, and wept. It wasn't until Kano accidentally broke the whip with a little more force that he withdrew his hand, pointed to Goriot's nose and said, "Remember, if you dare to talk nonsense behind your back in the future, I'll see Once you hit me, I will hit you once! Remember it!"

Goriot huddled on the ground, and replied in one voice: "Remember, remember..."

"Hmph!" Kano threw down the broken whip, turned and left.

Seeing that Kano was gone, Esper turned the finger of the pistol twice, then put it in his pocket, and bowed to the other congressmen who were watching: "Thank you for your cooperation."

Then he followed Kano with Deron who put away his pistol without saying a word.

"Barbarian, it's really... really barbaric!" The stunned Brisso faction members said one after another.

"Kano is really good! Such a bitch should be beaten to death!" The members of the Mountain faction said so.

Carnot's actions made the headlines of the Parisian newspapers early the next morning. Of course, the newspapers of the Brissot faction were yelling, the middle faction was making peace, and the Montagne faction, especially the "Friends of the People" jumped up to applaud Cano. This was not because Marat liked Cano particularly, but It's because Marat doesn't particularly like Goriot, because he's a damned grain speculator! In Mara's opinion, one of these people counts as one, and they should all be hung on street light poles.

"It's a pity that the quality of the military horsewhip used by Mr. Kano is really too bad. After lightly whipping the fat pig forty-two whips, it actually broke. We heard that the purchase of these horsewhip Mr Teeter (who is a friend of Mr Rowland) is in charge." At the end of the article, Friend of the People also insinuated that some Brissot bigwigs were making black money.

Of course, as an important member of the parliament and the government, to settle personal grievances in such a brutal (yong) brutal (gan) way at the gate of the parliament, the majority of Parisians feel that this is really (xi) like (wen) Words (le) (jian). Therefore, the parliament held an emergency meeting and conducted emergency consultations on this matter. After some bargaining, Kano was punished with a very (bu) unusual (tong) serious (bu) serious (yang) punishment, and Kano's major general The military rank was lowered to colonel, and the salary was lowered by one level accordingly. As for the issue of Goriot's medical expenses, the parliament believes that this is a matter that should be handled by a civil court, and therefore suggests that the parties to the conflict should negotiate and resolve it themselves.

After beating Goriot, even though he was demoted and his salary was deducted, Kano didn't care. The military rank was lowered, but his job position was not adjusted. (No one else can replace him.) This position is there, and the military rank is raised back. It does not take much time. As for the salary for a period of time, Kano thinks it is very cost-effective to spend such a small amount of money in exchange for a good idea. Even when doing work, I have a lot of energy.

Kano came home after a busy day at work. After hanging up his coat and hat, his wife and Lucien came up to him.

"Mr. Carnot, many people have sent you gifts today." Lucien called out to Carnot.

"Someone gave me a gift? It's not my birthday today, what are you writing about?" Kano asked.

"Lazar..." His wife looked very strange, "It's a lot of riding whips..."
