King's Landing in France

Chapter 371 The Last 3 Months

An Ning's proposal was passed as a matter of course.

As for the opinions of the United States, who cares, the current United States counts.In another 20 years, the British will still be able to wrestle with Napoleon's France while blocking the US's attack on Canada.When France was gone, the British immediately went to Washington to burn down the White House.

So now that the first anti-French alliance is over, the Royal Navy will not intercept the communication between France and the Americas, just find a ship and throw Louis Capet directly on the American continent.

Anyway, His Majesty the former King was an excellent locksmith, and now that there is no such thing as Queen Mary, he should be able to support himself, right?
And it’s almost the 19th century. The 19th century is the century of scientific discovery. Inventors are the most popular. Maybe His Excellency Louis Capet can become an inventor by relying on his ingenuity.

After making such a decision, Louis Capet was taken down. When he passed by An Ning, he stopped abruptly and said in a low voice, "Thank you. Thank you for giving me a new life."

An Ning replied: "Don't get it wrong, I want to use you to disperse the power of the Royal Party gathered around Louis XVII."

Capet: "If you really want to disperse their power, be king of France yourself."

An Ning shook her head: "No, I won't do such a thing."

Capet shrugged and left under the escort of the guards.

An Ning always felt that Capet's footsteps were very light, as if he had lifted a long-standing burden.

After sending away the Louis card, the rest of the time is to reward the generals for their merits, which theoretically requires the approval of the parliament.

However, before An Ning and the others returned to Paris, the award plan had already been approved by the parliament, and what followed was just an award ceremony.

Both Davout and Massena won the rank of lieutenant general, Lannes and Napoleon were successfully promoted to major generals, and Murat also became a brigadier general of the cavalry because of his meritorious service in capturing the Holy Roman Emperor.

Other generals were also rewarded for their merits, and even La Salle was awarded a brigadier general—after all, he had been a colonel for so long, and An Ning was afraid that he would have opinions if he was not promoted to a brigadier general.

After a series of promotions, Speaker Dandong stood up and said to An Ning, "The awarding of honors is over, so please leave the field."

An Ning was very strange: "Leave? Why?"

"According to the provisional constitution of the French Republic adopted a week ago, soldiers are not allowed to stay in the meeting place of the parliament except for special circumstances such as rewards and reporting to the parliament." Danton said in a timid voice.

An Ning was startled: "What about me? Do I want to leave too?"

"Of course you don't want it. You are the first ruler of the Republic. According to the provisional constitution, you are a special position obtained during an extraordinary period.

"Unless there is another war and the Republic is once again in crisis, we will not grant this office again."

An Ning's mouth grew wide, and he thought that the people in the parliament might make some small moves, but he didn't expect such an obvious "big move".

An Ning was very puzzled, looked down at the sword at his waist, and thought, I have a weapon, why aren't these people afraid?

At this moment, Napoleon saw that An Ning didn't respond, so he patted the table directly: "Andy doesn't take pictures of this table, I'll take pictures! What are you guys!"

An Ning turned her head and looked at her generals. Except for Napoleon, all of her direct descendants looked angry. Lana and La Salle both had expressions of "Draw your sword, Your Excellency".

Bernadotte and the others who didn't follow along the way were also dissatisfied.

Bernadotte noticed that An Ning was looking at him, and said: "This is too unreasonable. You have directly deprived the military of the possibility of serving as the first ruler, and every citizen should be equal. You cannot deprive citizens of being the first ruler. MPs and the power of the First Consulate."

Danton: "No, let me explain. The position of the First Consul has become a position similar to the dictator of the Roman Republic."

An Ning: "Oh, become a position like a dictator? A dictator has a term of office, right? Now that the Anti-French Alliance has been destroyed, are you planning to deprive me of the position of the first ruler?"

Danton: "Ahaha, of course not, but according to the provisional constitution, the first ruling is an honorary title..."

An Ning: "So the cabinet members I appointed are not responsible to me now, are they?"

"...In theory, yes." After Dandong finished speaking, his hands began to tremble, and he used his trembling hands to brush his hair.

An Ning was speechless, and it didn't look like she wasn't afraid.

Danton: "Well, you said that even the worst republic is better than the best dictatorship. You also said that the constitution must be defended..."

An Ning took a deep breath, then put her hands on the podium: "Interim Constitution, who voted against and who voted for, may I know?"

The entire venue was deadly silent.

In the end, Danton, as the speaker, replied on behalf of everyone: "It was passed by secret ballot, with 500 votes in favor, 476 votes against, and 11 abstentions."

An Ning nodded. He knew it was a secret ballot, so he said that just as a threat.

Then he continued: "This is an interim constitution. I think the external environment is peaceful now. A new constitution should be formulated as soon as possible. Let me give you three months. Before December 12, a new constitution should be passed."

Now that An Ning is in Paris, he can use his influence to interfere in the formulation of the new constitution. Presumably the new constitution should be very suitable for An Ning—meet the needs of His Excellency Andy Frost.

An Ning scanned the hall, and finally landed on Dandong: "Do I still have the right to make such a request?"

"Well, it is true that a new constitution should be formulated. After all, this is still a temporary constitution. But a constitution cannot be formulated in three months."

An Ning: "Then you can figure it out."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and snapped his fingers.

All the generals left the venue with him.

As soon as he left the parliament, Napoleon said angrily: "These people want to seize power! How can this be tolerated? They dare to do this because you are too kind!"

Bernadotte: "I am a republican, and I especially agree with Your Excellency's statement that 'even the worst republic is better than the best dictatorship', but...they are too much. They seized power not for the republic at all, but for the To fill my pockets!
"You are so powerful, and you have to open factories and banks to make money. They have become fat pigs because of greed."

Moreau, who is also a republican, also said: "With this group of insects, how can we govern the country well! Your Excellency!"

An Ning waved her hand: "Give them another three months to see."

"I've been shitted on my head, so I don't want to take tough measures." Minister of Police Fouche curled his lips and looked at Minister of Foreign Affairs Talleyrand.

Talleyrand: "He...believes too much in the republic. He thinks it will take three months to formulate a constitution that meets his needs. How is it possible? 'Everyone' will definitely find a way to delay it. If this continues, it is certain that Paul Ballas will make a comeback Yes, he has connected with most of the speculators in Paris, and won over moderates like Danton.

"Perhaps, we made the wrong bet. We should bet on that Napoleon Bonaparte."

"No no," Fouché shook his head, "Bonaparte is too loyal to Frost, unless Frost dies, just like Caesar, then Bonaparte will become Octavian."
