The weather has been terrible lately.

The clouds did not know when they would dissipate, the gray sky even looked like the sun was a little strong, and the wind swept through the streets and squares, drenching the self-proclaimed capital of the world in the winter chill......

The gloomy weather made Yiqiē seem a little depressed, as if everyone on the road seemed to have an inexplicable gloom.

In the conference room of the 6th Army Headquarters, the atmosphere at this time was already very oppressive and heavy, and it seemed that an unbearable storm was brewing.

"Gentlemen, as you can see, I have not come here to finish my term of office in harmony, but to do something! That's right, the results! Some achievements that are enough to make me a qualified leader of the 6th Army! General San Arnault, seated at the head of the conference table, in full view of everyone, exclaimed with a stern expression, "Therefore, at least during my term of office, I cannot tolerate anyone, any official who disobeys my will—do you understand?" ”

After speaking, he looked around the conference room, perhaps because the gaze was so fierce that the officials avoided his gaze for a while.

Seeing that everyone was a little silent, General San Arnault's tone slowed down a little.

"I know that this is Paris, this is the 6th Army Department, and there are too many reasonable or unreasonable rules to take into account. But...... Gentlemen, I have just returned from Africa, where, as you all know, there is no entertainment, there is no human affection, and there is no convention and bad customs, and there is only one qiē principle, and that is ...... Resolutely obey the will of the commander, there is no reason to speak! In my opinion, as a person in the army, whoever does not obey the will of his commander is violating the most important rules and betraying the country. For that kind of person, in North Africa we will shoot, here...... Well, of course I can't do that here, but he doesn't want to be safe, and whoever thinks I'm joking is going to stand up and try it! ”

Of course, silence remained in the room, and not a single official came forward to contradict His Excellency the Minister to his face.

Of course not.

Looking at this situation, Charles suddenly felt a surge of relief in his heart.

At least initially, the people he gambled on to recommend for the future did not live up to his expectations, showing the kind of toughness he needed and that has been proven in history.

As promised to the Prime Minister, after talking to Charles, he did not thwart Louis Bonaparte's request, and took the initiative to propose to the President that he was too distracted to hold two posts, to ask for the appointment of a Minister of the Sixth Army, and to recommend General Saint-Arnault as agreed beforehand.

Louis Bonaparte was naturally very pleased to see the Count of Opple so upright, and he gladly accepted the appointment of the Prime Minister, and greatly praised the Prime Minister's efforts and contributions to the country.

As a result, Charles finally achieved his goal, making General Saint-Arnault the head of the French 6th Army, that is, the theoretical supreme commander of the French armed forces.

After receiving this appointment, General Saint-Arnault, who had been in Paris for a long time, did not hesitate any longer, and went directly to the 6th Army Headquarters to take up his post.

Whether it was deliberately performing or in his own heart, the tough momentum of General San Arnault's appearance was enough to satisfy Charles.

Judging from the expressions of the other officials, it seems that this killing rod has also had its own effect.

"Okay, I've said all the things I need to say, and I believe you already know what kind of person I am." The general's tone in military uniform was still very stiff, "I hope that everyone can work closely together in the coming time to carry out my will." Now, please introduce yourself......"

He then turned his gaze to the official sitting to his left.

The official, who had not yet recovered from the minister's murderous remarks, was stunned for a moment, and then busily introduced himself.

When he finished speaking, the general bowed slightly, and then turned his gaze to the next officer. In this way, under his sharp gaze, every high-ranking officer of the 6 military department introduced himself with trepidation.

When it was Charles' turn, he had just spoken, when General San Arnault suddenly smiled.

"Oh, Mr. Treville, we know each other, so you don't have to introduce yourself."

This sudden smile, and the kind tone shown for the first time, not only made everyone else look at each other, but even Charles couldn't help but be stunned.

Then, Charles smiled. "General Saint-Arnault, rest assured, although we have a personal relationship, I will never neglect the work you have assigned because of this, and I will definitely carry out your will with the greatest sincerity."

"I believe in your sincerity in serving your country, Mr. Tremier." General San Arnault immediately nodded and replied with a smile, "You are worthy of being a young man praised by everyone, and you should be an example for everyone. ”

Under everyone's gaze, Charles and Minister Ren sang and praised each other, showing their close personal friendship and tacit understanding with each other without scruples.

Sure enough, as Charles had predicted, although the general had been pretending to be a vulgar warrior on the surface, he was actually very scheming, knowing what to do and who to befriend. He had made it clear to all that he was cooperating with the Charles, that is, the Bonapartas, and that he would be very pleased with those who had promoted him.

But this is exactly the effect he wants - he doesn't need to abandon a qiē for the sake of principles, he doesn't want to repay the merits of the recommendation, and he doesn't need a righteous gentleman who supports each other with the same party.

After the two men had praised each other, General San Arnault retracted his gaze, and his expression regained the severity of what he had just been.

"Okay, now that you've been introduced, I've got to know you." His tone became heavy, "I hope that in the future, everyone can work together with me to work together for the 6th Army, for the stability of the country, and for the glory of the nation." ”

"Smack" "Slap" "Slap"

As soon as he finished speaking, Charles clapped his hands gently.

Then, the others also reacted immediately, and hurriedly applauded together, and the warm applause suddenly filled the entire conference room, making the previously low and depressing atmosphere finally become more lively.

However, then, the words of the head of the 6th Army brought the air back to freezing.

"Previously, for some well-known reasons, the political situation was very unstable, and the 6th Army itself was in a state of chaos, and even in North Africa, our soldiers were caught in fierce disputes because of their different political positions. I am deeply saddened by this chaotic state, and I hope that I will work hard with all of you in the future to revive the morale and discipline of the Sixth Army and make it a sword of the nation again. ”

Although his tone was very calm, the implicit meaning of this sentence made the others feel a deep chill. However, before the officials could react, the minister continued.

"That's right, the 6th Army is the sword of the country, and the sword should not have its own thoughts, it should be loyal to the country, loyal to the leader of the country, willing to obey the orders of the leader, and carry out any orders he gives, without any hesitation, this is our duty. I am here to restore the spirit of the 6th Army, which was supposed to hold out to the end, but is now corroded. I have said ugly things before, and if anyone under my rule, whether in the ministry or outside the ministry, violates the norms that he should follow...... Then he is self-defeating! ”

You must obey the president's orders and carry out his will, otherwise you will violate the rules of the military and will be punished with the most severe punishment - such a blunt threat that in an instant will knock everyone's mood to the bottom.

It was the first time they had received a clear threat that they would take sides (and only sides). But this will never be the last.

Before everyone could recover from this sudden blow, the blow of His Excellency the Minister came one after another.

"It is precisely in order to lift the spirits of the officers and men of the 6th Army and reinforce their discipline of obedience to authority that I have decided to hold a military parade in the near future, as much as possible, preferably in a month or two." The general looked at the table and said coldly, "The president will personally attend this military parade, basically every army in the north needs to send someone to participate, so the scale may be very grand, please prepare according to my will, be sure to let the ceremony go smoothly, let the president and the spirit of the 6 officers and soldiers link, and rebuild the order of the 6 armies!" ”

"Huh?" There was no longer silence in the conference room, and many people subconsciously exclaimed, they didn't expect that this minister was so strong, and he was already planning to do whatever he wanted.

"Your Excellency, can you consider this decision a little more......?" The head of the Military Affairs Department, Baron de Gerlo, finally couldn't sit still, and reluctantly asked, "I'm not questioning your decision, it's just ...... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult for you to suddenly make this decision now, on such a large scale, and with only a little time to give you such a small amount of time......"

"Are you questioning my decision?" Before anyone else could echo him, the minister asked directly.

"No, I didn't mean that......" the other party quickly denied.

"Listen, this is my decision, and your task is to find a way to carry it out, because I'm responsible for the president, and you're responsible for me, and you have to find a way to do it!" The minister's answer was unequivocal.

Then, he looked at Charles.

"Mr. Treville, it seems that everyone is having some difficulties, so you can coordinate this work and make it happen."

"Your will is your command, Your Excellency." Charles immediately bowed. r1152
