Chapter 26 In Orleans (Part 2)
More than three hours later, Fred and I were in the same carriage as me, under the escort of the soldiers, rushed back to the camp.
"Dear General, you should be a politician for your wonderful performance today. The time you gave during the daytime speeches, you can go to the National Convention to make those members of the parliamentary. The rogues in Paris like you the most. The cunning orientals, you have to find countless high-sounding excuses for yourself as a butcher. In this regard, you are exactly the same as the machine gunner of Lyon, Fouche." Fred burped and sprayed a smell of alcohol on my face.
Well, I know that I can't hide it from the old bastard in front of me. Don't be afraid of death, greedy for money, lust, but have unique vision. Hehe, like my mentor, no wonder I can live so long in this troubled times, and be a fellow man. So I didn't admit it or deny it. I looked at the night view outside the window bored and responded lightly: "Everyone, each other, others only say that Commissioner Fred is an accomplice of the Toulon Butcher. In fact, it's not your idea. Now, I'll fight the reputation alone, and you can enjoy the benefits."
"Damn General, your tone does not show any guilt. It's not good to be a Toulon butcher. You've been promoted, made a fortune, and you have allies. Hehe, I don't need to explain it in detail." Fred's words were extremely sharp and he didn't leave me any mercy.
"In fact, even if those nobles and priests are left behind their lives, no one will say thanks. The jealousy remains, and they leave a root of disaster for you and me. The general annihilated tens of thousands of enemy troops with less than a thousand casualties and successfully recovered Shanyue Port within 6 days. This is a great military miracle. No matter what language is used to exaggerate and describe it, it is not an exaggeration. The rebellious royalists have long been incompatible with you, including other European royal families and those in power. Instead of compromise with them, it is better to do a thorough job. Massacre of the nobles and priests have obtained fanatical support from ordinary people; plunder their property, let the MPs appreciate it, and look forward to the next surprise. When you are in trouble one day, there will naturally be someone to rescue you. Don't ask God for help, but looking at your ugly face, the Calvin priests did not teach you well."
Fred said it very deeply, and it was exactly what he considered. The conflict with the old French nobles was no longer irreconcilable, so he simply broke it off. The royal families of all European countries were all related to each other, and offended the remnants of the Bourbon dynasty, and they were enemies of the feudal forces of various countries, and the way to survive and die was to fight to the end. Politically, they often defected to those republicans, and they were incompatible with the royalists; military, they used the power of the French people to counterattack various hostile countries (anti-French alliances) and inserted the revolutionary flag into their territory. People are all interested in interests. As long as they beat the hostile people and fear them, they would give some property that had been snatched from them or others as "candy". They did not believe that there were no ones among them who did not compromise and concessions first.
But this is just an early move, and the final result is still based on one's own strength. Compromise and concession are only temporary, and betrayal and betrayal can be seen at any time. Not afraid of Joan of Arc's tragic experience is that he can speak casually and deceive others, but he can't be his motto. He must build his own sphere of influence, both politically, military and economically. Nearby, he thinks of his own safety, and far away, he starts with the future Chinese revolution. But in a foreign country, it is not easy for an Oriental to cultivate his own strength. Jews are their own life-saving straw. I hope they don't betray themselves.
Fred saw that he didn't say anything for a long time, and mistakenly thought that what he said made me difficult to accept. He hurriedly explained: "General, don't care. Fred likes money, just like you. You need money for your country, and I need a lot of money for women." The commissioner changed his topic and talked to another question, "Haha, by the way, there is a big thing, I forgot that the young general is about 25, haha, do you need the kind Fred to introduce you to the beauty of Paris to you? Don't be shy, you are not ascetic, and you are not shy at all when you are on the battlefield."
He took the curtains and moved his slightly leaning forward body to the backrest for a moment. He looked at Fred with a lewd smile on his face and suddenly said sarcastically: "The commissioner's vision is really unique. But why did he look for a woman? When he pulled you out of the bed that day, the woman lying beside him was useless except for his bigger breasts."
"Can I blame me? There is no brothel in the whole town. The damn Eber Party members instigated the communes of various places to close all the country's romantic places, and many beautiful prostitutes were pulled to the guillotine. In addition to being money and women, Fred was also an ardent revolutionary. Of course, like Robespierre, a saint who is not as good as the world's fireworks, I am not as good as my example. And you, except that you don't touch women for the time being, aren't you the same as me?!" The commissioner was a little excited and danced. Fortunately, he was on the bumpy carriage, so he didn't drag me to fight angrily.
"Citizen of the Commissioner, Andrew sincerely took back what he said just now. Since you are enthusiastic about helping your brother, I will no longer refuse. Then, please help me choose a woman. Well, if it is a beauty, ha, you must be a blonde beauty!" The more you said, the more excited you became, and later, I realized that Fred was also beginning to look at me sarcastically.
"Okay, pseudo-taoist, don't perform in disgust. Be serious. I'm really dragged to serve as a lobbyist. Hehe, Balas's daughter is very good-looking and has also been your orderly, ha, that playboy-like father can give birth to such a dignified daughter. No, it's a pity!" Fred finally expressed his true purpose.
"What did MP Balas ask you to say?"
"Nonsense! Fred has no daughter to introduce to you."
"Is Cossett beautiful?"
"This is nonsense! You have been with her for 3 months and you should know better than me."
"How many children is Cossett the first child of the MP Balas?"
"It's nonsense again! Cosette is the only child of the MP, and the rest are wild or compiled by the Swamp Sect."
"What benefits do you get?"
"It's even more nonsense! Your future father-in-law promises to introduce more women to me."
"Marriage is a big deal, can I think about it again?"
"It's all nonsense! Listen to the commissioner, that's right, at worst, I can give up a few Paris socialites to be your mistress."
"My commissioner, is your wife really dead?"
…
The next morning, the team continued to set off, which would be the last day to arrive in Paris.
Note: Starting from the next chapter, Guankow, regardless of filling in and accepting friends' suggestions, the third person will be used to replace the first person. In addition, in order to cooperate with the promotion of starting points, a few more chapters will be posted on a certain day. Alas, I finally arrived in Paris...
Chapter completed!
