King's Landing in France

Chapter 282 Has The Flow Changed...?

the next day.

The bill on the establishment of a public security committee failed to pass with a narrow margin of 6 votes.

An Ning was shocked.

Because he tried to change the direction of history before, and then history will return to the original track with a huge and stubborn inertia.

An Ning felt like Don Quixote challenging the windmill giant.

He fully thought that today's bill would be passed in spite of his own opposition, and then history would run wildly towards the original ending where the Jacobins killed each other.

Yet he won.

Although it was only won by a small margin.

The establishment of the Public Safety Committee was blocked!

Is history really about to change?
He looked at Robespierre in surprise, and saw the Incorruptible tear up his speech angrily.

Then the eyes met.

An Ning looked at Robespierre with an expression of winning a bet among friends, the latter shrugged and said, "After you left yesterday, I was drunk and stayed up all night polishing my speech until this morning, and I can't win you I am convinced."

An Ning: "Okay, the loser will buy a drink."

An Ning is very happy at this time, after all, history has been revised, hasn't it?
Dandong also came over at this time: "What the hell, I was shocked when I saw Frost opposing the Public Safety Committee bill."

An Ning: "The establishment of such an authoritarian institution is prone to unforeseen consequences. Especially when they have the power to send people to the guillotine. If it is changed to have the right to send people to prison, the guillotine needs more advanced deliberation, I can accept it."

An Ning is actually just saying this here, his real purpose is to reverse the original direction of history.

Continue to follow the original history, after the establishment of the Public Security Committee, the killings will intensify, the Jacobins will eventually fall completely in the cannibalism, and the ideals of the Jacobins will also be destroyed by the Thermidorians composed of speculators and newly rich people total destruction.

As for not giving the public safety committee the power to kill people, this idea actually came from Thomas Sankara, the people's court established by the African Guevara at that time did not have the power to execute the death penalty.

Robespierre: "If the Committee of Public Safety doesn't have the power to execute people, then what's the point of establishing it? You haven't been in Paris for a long time, and you don't know what it was like when the traitors were imprisoned. .

"When the coalition army defeated the French army, they were all celebrating. The royalists outside could enter the prison without hindrance, and carnival with the royalists in the prison. No, no, Frost, you don't understand, prisons are useless Yes, if you catch one, kill one to efficiently maintain the Republic!"

Danton: "Actually, quite a few people have been killed now. There are fifteen courts in Paris. I personally think it would be a good thing to have a public security committee to manage these courts in a unified way. Frost, you don't understand the situation when you are fighting outside. Maximilian, I think we should take Frost to see how these courts work."

An Ning raised her eyebrows: "Yes, anyway, now that the military threat is gone, I can stay in Paris for a while longer."

At this time, because the time for the adjournment was approaching, some councilors returned to the meeting place one after another.

Robespierre: "After discussing how to deal with prisoners of war, let's go and have a look. Today, the long-lost meeting can be adjourned early."

Danton: "It's a deal."

Then he turned and returned to his place.

An Ning also returned to her special seat.

The parliament reopened under the auspices of Robespierre and began to discuss how to deal with the prisoners of war.

In the end, the parliament passed the resolution to keep the Grand Duke Karl imprisoned in the Sedan Fortress with a high vote, seeking to exchange the Grand Duke Karl for Louis XVI and his wives.

An Ning actually didn't care, he knew that it was impossible for the Austrians to hand over two people for the sake of Archduke Karl alone.

To take Louis XVI home, he probably still needs a Chen Bing under the city of Vienna.

After the resolution was passed, An Ning asked the legislators of the parliament to send a message to Lazar Cano, asking him to prepare a full set of Rousseau, Voltaire and Montesquieu for Grand Duke Karl.

Let the Grand Duke study hard under house arrest. After returning, the world will be vast and there will be great things to do, and there will be great things to do!

After considering the bill, Robespierre was about to announce the adjournment.

Suddenly someone stood up: "Everyone! I have a proposal. Everyone, please look at General Frost! Don't you think there is anything inappropriate?"

An Ning raised her eyebrows, and looked down at her attire: the normal uniform of a major general, with the medal she won in the Seven Years' War hanging on her right chest.

inappropriate?That must not be the case, this is adjusted by my wife-to-be this morning, and it is absolutely decent and reasonable.

After the congressman had attracted enough attention, he said slowly, "Don't you think it's unreasonable for General Frost to be just a major general after such a major victory?"

An Ning opened her mouth into an O-shape, is she such a straight flatterer?
In contrast, Fouche's way of sending a golden eagle flag is much more advanced!
Member: "I think we should raise the rank of His Excellency General. Otherwise, if we say that the most powerful military strategist in France is actually a major general, wouldn't it make foreigners laugh?"

An Ning thought about it, and indeed he should be promoted. He is only a major general, and none of his subordinates have been promoted, at most, he is a brigadier general.

In other words, Davout and Massena played very well in Italy, and it is really inappropriate to continue to make them brigadier generals when they come back.

I am a bit reluctant to say goodbye to the rank of major general.

The congressman continued: "I think that the general is the de facto supreme commander of the French army, and we should give the general the rank of Grand Marshal of the French Republic in one step!"

An Ning was startled, what the hell, I have traveled to 1912?

There was an uproar in Parliament.

Robespierre glanced at An Ning and noticed the helplessness on An Ning's face. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "You don't know Frost. He is a noble person and doesn't care about such a false name. But after considering Frost's men will be rewarded for promotion based on meritorious deeds, and he really needs to be promoted in order to ensure the smooth flow of the chain of command.

"After all, it has happened before that the parliament forcibly changed the military rank and caused the chain of command to be chaotic. I think it is more appropriate to promote Frost to the rank of lieutenant general.

"As for his reward for such a brilliant victory, I think a medal belonging to the Republic can be established."

An Ning nodded silently, was promoted to lieutenant general, and then received a medal, which is indeed not bad.

I have only one medal so far, which is indeed a bit small.

An Ning is not a badger, but now that she is so famous, the number of medals must match her reputation, right?

It doesn't take much, half of Brezhnev's medals would be nice.

While An Ning was distracted, the decision to promote him was unanimously passed.

Yes, unanimously, without abstentions.

Robespierre then announced the adjournment for the day.

Next, Robespierre and Dandong are going to take An Ning to see the people's court in Paris.
