Make France Great Again

The day after the appointment of the French Chief of General Staff, the Marshal of the Second Empire was "freshly released" after being recommended by Jérôme Bonaparte and approved by the Ministry of War.

In view of the outstanding contributions made by Saint-Arnault and Reignault to the French army, General Saint-Arnault, Chief of the French General Staff, and General Reignault, Commander of Strasbourg, are hereby awarded the rank of marshal.

As soon as the news came out, the entire French military community was in an uproar. Some generals expressed opposition to the fact that Saint-Arnaud and Reignault could be awarded the title of marshal. Some generals even made a fuss about the award of marshal. They believed that Saint-Arnaud had not made any merit (referring to It is an insult to the title of marshal that he was hastily given the position of marshal because of his merits like Marshal Biro.

Faced with this unwarranted responsibility, the new chief of general staff and reserve marshal of the empire, Saint Arnaud, was a little annoyed.

If it weren't for the fact that the French army is implementing the separation of military and political affairs, and the chief of general staff does not control the appointment and dismissal of the army.

Saint Arnaud swore that he would let them know what the authority of a superior was.

The Tuileries Palace, which played a major role in the banning incident, did not say anything at this time. He seemed to be letting the whole incident happen.

The canonization of marshals by Saint-Arnaud and Rennault seems to have died due to "the incompatibility of virtue".

As time went by, the inaction of the Tuileries Palace made some anti-Bonapartist soldiers more and more arrogant. They even openly formed small groups in the army, ready to raise a big banner for rebellion when necessary. .

If it were not for the report of the Special Investigation Section of the Guard Room, Jérôme Bonaparte would not have known that there was a group of potential opponents in the army trying to overthrow his rule.

"Okay! I understand! Thank you for your hard work!" After reading the internal intelligence of the army, Jérôme Bonaparte rushed to the head of the Special Operations Investigation Section Edgar Ney and nodded in affirmation: "I didn't expect that. It’s not easy for you to figure out who is behind all the armies in such a short period of time!”

"This is all my responsibility!" Edgar Ney responded to Jérôme Bonaparte without being humble or condescending.

"Yes, if you can continue to maintain it, your achievements will definitely not be lower than your uncle!" Jérôme Bonaparte looked at the Edgar Ney who had washed away his flashy appearance and thought to himself.

Is it the environment that changes people? Or does it mean that people have changed the environment?

Jérôme Bonaparte still remembered that when Edgar Ney met him a few years ago, he looked down upon this guy who was able to establish himself in Paris because of his uncle's fame.

Yes, Edgar Ney's uncle was the original Marshal Ney, and he was one of the few people who died for his uncle Jérôme Bonaparte, the Emperor Napoleon.

After the collapse of the First Empire, Ney died because he followed Napoleon in the First Empire. Since Ney himself had no children, Edgar Ney was the successor of Marshal Ney. He inherited Marshal Ney's fame and prestige and joined Bonaparte. Papai served Louis Napoleon and Jérôme Bonaparte successively.

In the early days of joining Jerome Bonaparte, Edgar Ney was not taken seriously by Jerome Bonaparte. In the eyes of Jerome Bonaparte, Edgar Ney was nothing more than It served as a sign of unity with Bonaparte.

An accident changed Edgar Ney's status in Jerome Bonaparte's heart. At that time, the attack on the Roman Republic was about to begin. Jerome Bonaparte sent General Regno to the Roman Republic. Edgar Ney Also ask to go with you when appropriate. After careful consideration, Jérôme Bonaparte decided to give Edgar Ney a chance to show off, and he agreed to Edgar Ney's request with a wave of his hand.

During the siege of Rome in 1849, Edgar Ney showed his talent as a military commander and achieved victory.

After returning, Edgar Ney was once again summoned by Jérôme Bonaparte after experiencing a long period of being on the bench.

It was at that time that Jérôme Bonaparte asked Edgar Ney if he was willing to serve as the chief of the investigation section of the police room of the presidential palace.

The so-called Investigation Section is not so much a section as it should be called a department.

It's probably because the number of people in the Investigation Section has almost caught up with the number of division-level administrative bureaucrats who can't subordinate themselves.

Their main purpose is to monitor whether there is any betrayal in the French army, and if so, they will immediately report it to Jerome Bonaparte.

Over the next two years or so, the number of Special Investigation Sections continued to grow, gradually forming a number at the department and bureau level.

The Special Investigation Section has also become increasingly proficient in controlling and monitoring the internal affairs of the military. All military regions except the Algerian Military Region are monitored by members of the Special Investigation Section.

[PS: Algiers has always been a place of exile for French political failures, and many politically failed guys were all exiled here. Some of them joined the army, some lived in Algiers, and some smuggled to Britain. It can be said to be the traditional opposition, whether it is the Republic, Bourbon or Bonaparte, there are people who oppose it.

And part of it is opposition for the sake of opposition. 】

Looking at the SS leader he had trained in front of him, Jérôme Bonaparte's mouth showed a pleased smile: "Ney, do you want to end this sneaky life!"

Edgar Ney's expression showed a flash of struggle, and then he said calmly: "I am willing to obey your orders!"

"I like people who obey orders best!" In response to Edgar Ney's yes or no response, Jérôme Bonaparte pointed his halberd at Edgar Ney in a serious tone and said: "Start a special investigation from now on. The department was separated from the police department and renamed the Aircraft Maintenance Command! And you will become the first commander of the Aircraft Maintenance Command, enjoying the treatment of the rank of French Brigadier General! The functions of the Aircraft Maintenance Command remain unchanged! At the same time, you will also serve as the adjutant. !”

Edgar Ney's face showed joy. Although Edgar Ney was only at the rank of brigadier general, he knew very well that the power of the Aircraft Maintenance Command was no less than that of either the War Department or the General Staff.

The reason for the rank of brigadier general is probably to give the military rank a little bit of value.

Edgar Ney's guess was correct. Jerome Bonaparte's purpose of designing the top officer of the Aircraft Maintenance Command to be a brigadier general was indeed to prevent the proliferation of general ranks.

In France, as long as you can be promoted to the rank of major general, it means that you are qualified to command troops ranging from a brigade to a corps.

Such an unreasonable military rank system has caused a lot of confusion. At the same time, France also has major problems with its military establishment...

We will discuss this later.

In short, for the sake of the overall situation, the supreme commander of the Aircraft Maintenance Command must be a brigadier general.

"Don't worry! It won't be long before France will introduce something new! By then, you will be able to level up again!" Jérôme Bonaparte assured Edgar Ney.

"Understood!" Edgar Ney responded to Jérôme Bonaparte.

In the next few days, Jerome Bonaparte went to the Senate alone and told the Senate: "In view of the increasingly serious ideological problems in France, it is necessary to establish a department that can manage military crimes and ideological incompetence. !”

Such a move was opposed by some military personnel in the Senate. They plausibly stated that the government should do its own thing and that the military's affairs should be resolved by the military itself.

Such a rebuttal undoubtedly made Jerome Bonaparte feel that the army was likely to once again become the steel company that water could not pour into or a needle could penetrate.

Since ancient times, the military has been a violent machine of the ruling class. If this army of the ruling class is controlled, it is likely to turn into a rampaging beast.

It will coerce everyone it can coerce, then engage in a vigorous and tireless war and then die.

The General Staff Headquarters and the Aircraft Maintenance Command are his two tools to tie down this unreasonable beast in order to accomplish this goal. He even used his administrative power as emperor to promote policies in the Legislative Yuan and the Second Chamber.

The Aircraft Maintenance Command was created, and Edgar Ney became the commander of the First Aircraft Maintenance Command.

After figuring out the rights under the jurisdiction of the Aircraft Maintenance Command, many objections disappeared without a trace overnight.

Even so, Jérôme Bonaparte had no intention of letting those people go. Keeping them would sooner or later become time bombs.

Under the instruction of Jérôme Bonaparte, the Aircraft Maintenance Command began to take action.

Men wearing blue uniforms and with sword and shield medals on their chests went to various parts of France to arrest opposition generals.

After seeing these guys, the opposition generals who usually showed off their power at the garrison once again thought of the Public Security Committee, which had disappeared for more than half a century.

The fear that penetrated into the bone marrow made every tiger general turn into a docile kitten in front of the members of the Maintenance Command, and they wanted to tell the members of the Maintenance Department all their heartfelt words.

Some generals would even accuse themselves in front of the Aircraft Maintenance Command without caring about their image.

In just one month, nearly 30 generals were dismissed directly on the grounds of corruption, malfeasance, and age. Most of them were potential supporters of the Republicans, and a few were generals from the Orleans faction.

After deposing more than 30 generals in one breath, there was no doubt in France as a whole.

The army has only one path left: singing praises.

On May 31, the grand canonization ceremony blew away the gloom that enveloped the French military.

Commander Renault, who had just arrived from Strasbourg, and French Chief of General Staff General Saint-Arnault stood upright on a platform made of wood and covered with a red cloth blanket.

Standing on the stage were the generals living in Paris, all of whom were invited to participate in this unrewarding performance.

There were tens of thousands of soldiers in the audience, holding rifles and watching everything in front of them.

Not long after, Jérôme Bonaparte appeared. Behind him were two servants, each holding a marshal's scepter in their hands.
