King's Landing in France

Chapter 106 Super Double Cavalry Regiment

An Ning entered the auditorium, and immediately went to the stage to give a speech. He probably repeated what he had just said, and then exaggerated that the situation in Konta was very dangerous. Those who tried to maintain the previous system would continue to be an enclave controlled by the Pope. , so it is necessary to maintain a military presence in Konta Barabara...

An Ning originally thought that he could vote after he had finished speaking, but after whispering a few words to Lafayette, Petion and Lafayette stood up and said, "Does anyone have an opinion on the appointment of Mr. Frost? You can come up and speak."

Lafayette did not go to the stage immediately, but went up to a representative of the priest named Walter, and said that it is best not to offend the Pope, and it is best to postpone the withdrawal of the Pope's enclave in France.

The delegates were filled with righteous indignation and shouted "traitors get out of here".

However, according to the resolution passed last year, the representative's personal rights are inviolable, so the priest Walter still stubbornly finished his speech on the stage before being invited by Petion.

Immediately afterwards, Lafayette took the stage slowly.

"Gentlemen," Lafayette began, "Konta's situation may indeed be critical, but it can be predicted that there will be no large-scale rebels in Konta for a long time. Putting a war genius There, it is obviously overqualified. I still support Mr. Pétion’s proposal to let him serve as the commander of the garrison in Paris. As for the military rank, I think it is a step up from the brigadier general, and the major general is not bad.”

An Ning frowned. It was obvious that Lafayette had just frowned at the fact that he was the commander of the garrison. Why did he agree when he turned around?

This transformation is full of conspiracy.

Dandong beside An Ning also muttered softly: "Why would Lafayette support you as the commander of the Paris garrison? Isn't that a half of his power? Just to push your rank to major general? Is it worth it?"

The French military ranks, lieutenant general and general are both honorary ranks, awarded to those who have meritorious service, and the troops actually commanded are similar to major generals.

At this time, the major general of the French army can already command the legion, and a legion is generally responsible for a strategic direction.Such as the most famous Italian Legion.

The lieutenant general does not have a larger army organization structure for him to command, not to mention that in this era, due to the limitations of communication and organizational capabilities, it is already the limit to be able to form an army.

Units of the size of a group army or even a group army group were only available after the great development of communication technology.

Therefore, there is actually no need for Lafayette to give up half of his power in order to suppress An Ning's rank from lieutenant general to major general.

There must be some subsequent conspiracy.

Anyway, An Ning made up her mind not to step on the trap.

He murmured in his heart: Lafayette, you gave me the rank of garrison commander and major general. The garrison commander corresponds to the security commander, and the major general corresponds to the junior general. You want me to be the general of Paris. Ah, have you seen the Fifth Republic? Are you not afraid that I will surprise you on December [-] this year?
However, An Ning has a problem with launching a coup now, because there are too few capable people under his command.The few grassroots officers promoted by An Ning actually performed quite mediocre. An Ning promoted them because they were really no longer useful.

Among the five Communist Party members, the junior general has Xu Sanshou, Xu Heping and several capable people.

If he really wanted to do it, An Ning had to strengthen his team first.

Forget it, it’s so troublesome, I’d better continue farming in Nanyang, Gou Quan’s life in troubled times, and don’t seek to be known to the princes.

In order to achieve this goal, I will go to Konta!
After Lafayette finished speaking, An Ning was thinking of rebutting, and Robespierre stood up first.

He walked up to the podium with his head held high, pushed his glasses, and then scanned the entire venue: "Everyone! I am afraid that no one of you knows the situation in the Konta area better than Frost? Frost thinks that military pressure needs to be continued. Then It must have been compelled.

"Think about it, Frost is concerned with the constitutional cause. How could he hide in a remote place and not participate in the formulation of the constitution? He must have noticed something and had to stay there!"

An Ning nodded again and again, yes, that's it!I must have discovered something that I didn't even notice to stay in the Konta!
Robespierre said something more, probably repeatedly emphasizing the need to trust the judgment of the front-line chief officer, Barabara, and then came down amidst applause.

Looking at Robespierre approaching this way, Dandong said in a low voice: "It's quite surprising that he has said so much without a manuscript. Usually when he speaks, there must be a manuscript, and the manuscript needs to be revised many times, and it may be rewritten from the beginning." I've been preparing for the speech tonight."

An Ning: "After all, it's Maximilian, with such a meticulous temperament."

"Everyone calls him the Incorruptible now." Danton said, "Didn't you know you went to war?"

An Ning said that I knew about it a long time ago, before I knew him.

An Ning: "I don't know. But it really suits him very well."

Robespierre came back and said to An Ning: "I guess those who are unhappy with Lafayette will be confused now, because they originally wanted you to check and balance Lafayette, and they wanted to keep you in Paris." .Now Lafayette makes the first move, so they probably got caught."

Danton: "So you just went up there and gave them a reason to oppose Lafayette's decision?"

Robespierre: "No, those who oppose Lafayette will oppose Lafayette's proposal according to inertia. I am the centrist who strives for swing, which is now called the plain faction. people."

Speaking of which, Robespierre pointed to the group of people sitting on the flat ground in the middle of the venue.

Then a few more people took the stage to speak, most of them followed Robespierre's speech.

Then Pétion took the stage and announced the opening of the vote.

Half an hour later, An Ning was elected as the special commissioner of the Konta area of ​​the National Assembly with a narrow margin, but the military rank was only agreed to be a major general.

An Ning was very satisfied with this result. In fact, he wanted the rank of lieutenant general because he followed Lu Xun's theory of lifting the roof: if you want to open a window, you first propose to lift the roof, and then people agree to open the window after a compromise.

After the vote was over, it was almost time for the meeting to be adjourned. Bayi, Petion, Mirabeau and Lafayette came together to find peace.

"His Majesty wants to see the hero of Konta."

An Ning: "Then what are you waiting for, let's go."

In fact, it stands to reason that the king should be the first person to meet after returning from the suppression of the rebellion. Unfortunately, the status of the king is not as good as before, so An Ning came to the parliament first.

The Tuileries Palace, where the king lives, is just next to the meeting place of the National Assembly, and it is only a few steps away.

Louis XVI and Queen Marie were already waiting in peace in the audience room of the Tuileries Palace.

As soon as he saw An Ning coming in, Louis XVI stood up from his seat and took a few steps forward to hold An Ning's hand: "You played very well!"

An Ning: "The cavalry sent to me by His Majesty played a very important role. Without their reconnaissance, I would not have been able to achieve such great results."

Louis XVI was very happy when he heard that: "Really? It seems that the girls are doing very well!"

After that, Louis XVI looked back at Queen Mary, and then said to An Ning: "By the way, I heard that you have been appointed as the military commissioner of Konta?"

——Grass, did the king know about what was just decided?

An Ning glanced at Mirabeau, but he knew that Mirabeau was the secret advisor to the king and queen.

Mirabeau looked as if nothing had happened.

An Ning: "Yes, I was indeed assigned to Konta."

Louis XVI: "That's right. As a local military officer, you can't do it with only a few troops. Well, I have discussed it with the queen, and I will hand over the entire Knights of the Guards to you. Then you can There's a full regiment of cavalry!"

An Ning was shocked.

The Guards Cavalry Regiment, they are all noble ladies who are sent here without getting married. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, if you send me such a women's army, I will think wrong!

Immediately afterwards, An Ning noticed the queen's expression.

Wait, it looks like the queen has an expression of success?

After thinking about it, An Ning understood: The queen wants to maintain control over the troops under An Ning's name. A cavalry regiment is placed here. What will the royal family do in the future? If An Ning doesn't respond, the cavalry might mutiny...

Queen Mary is a little clever.

But why did she think that the Guards Cavalry would definitely support the royal family?At the time of the Bastille, it was also the Guards who mutinied and supported the revolutionary masses.

It seems that this woman has only a little cleverness, but no great wisdom.

An Ning: "Thank you Your Majesty, I will definitely make good use of this elite cavalry unit!"
