Chapter 221, Argument

Stafford's pupils shrank, and he grabbed Olikay's collar: "You tm want to coerce me?"

"Sir, you misunderstood, humble rank...how dare you?" Olika hurriedly said, "humi, humble rank, humble rank, just want to invite the rank to have a meal..."

Stafford let go of O'Kelly's collar, looked at him, and after a while, he said, "Who are you going to use me to scare?"

"Sir, wise!" Olika immediately smiled and gave his thumbs up.

"Sir, you don't know that there is a beer hall on Okan Street. It was originally a territory of Beizhi. Later, Jarvis of the Detective Team - Chief, you don't know that the boy is the most unkind. He relied on his many subordinates to snatch the street. If you are willing to help and ask Beizhi to sit in that beer hall, even if Jarvis is so brave, he wouldn't dare to snatch it with Beizhi, right?"

"Well," Stafford thought for a while, and then spoke, "Captain O'Kelly, you are really capable!"

"Thank you for your compliment, sir!" O'Kelly said quickly.

"What beer hall are you in?"

“Amethyst Beer Hall.”

"Can you charge money every month on that Okan Street? I want half of it," Stafford said.

"Sir, you said, the money I collected on this street was originally for you. Where can I take half of your money? Of course, all of these are yours. You have to spend a lot of money. To be honest, you just need to let the guys Jarvis know that Beizhi is your person... Oh, no, it's your dog, they can't help but give Beizhi some face in other places, right? If you don't give Beizhi face, it means not giving the Chief, not giving the Chief, not giving the Chief, not giving the United Kingdom face. With this face, Beizhi can be able to raise his head in front of them."

Stafford laughed and said, "O'Kelly, you're really good. You're very conscientious. But how could you get a seizure here? Do you really have contacts with them?"

"Oh, sir, I dare not talk nonsense. I am even more brave, but sir, where did the guns of those rebels come from? There are only two ways, one is a good gun from the French. Generally speaking, this gun is only available in regular elite rebels. Another is the British gun they seized."

Speaking of this, O'Kelly paused for a moment and said, "Sir, you know that British guns are also divided into old and new. The new one is the rifled guns equipped by your soldiers. If such guns fall into the hands of the rebels, they will definitely be given priority to those regular elite rebels. Even if there are not many local rebels, the other type is the old-fashioned smoothbore guns used in our public security and military.

You also know, our "Stand Security Army" is okay to take charge of the common people, but when it comes to war, it is really not good. At most, we will fight with those local rebels. If we encounter regular elite rebels, we are really not opponents. But those rebels are not the least. They generally don't dare to fight with you, so they will bully us. By the way, when will our entire public security forces not lose guns? In this way, what guns are the most used in the rebels? Of course, they are the guns used by our public security army. Especially those rebels, most of the guns in their hands must be exactly the same as in our hands, or in other words, they are our guns. So, if you seize or not, you can just ask the people under the low-ranking position to hand over all the guns? There must be more."

"This is good, but there is no need to collect all the guns. Generally speaking, even if you win in a battle, as long as you don't wipe out the enemy's entire army, the enemy will take away some weapons when they run away. Therefore, the number of weapons that can be seized in a battle is far less than the number of casualties of the enemy. How many rebels have we killed?" asked Battalion Commander Stafford.

"More than one hundred!" said Olikay, "more than one hundred rebels, both men and women, older and younger. Unfortunately, we can't bring out all their bodies in the swamp. We can't even cut off their heads."

"O'Kelly, we are not savages who count their heads." Stafford frowned, "If you calculate this way, there are more than ten guns, and it should be almost the same. Well, these guns are fine, right?"

"Of course it's okay. Didn't we die more than forty people? We picked up a lot of guns from those people. They can be just enough to be seized."

"Very good." Stafford nodded, "Besides guns, there should be some other things, and you should prepare them for me."

"Sir, I'll do my business, just don't worry. There's absolutely no problem." Captain Olikay said, patting his chest.

"Okay, go back and have a good rest. You will destroy their potatoes tomorrow." Stafford's mood improved a lot.

Because he was equipped with new "Swamp Shoes", in this day, like Stafford and others, there were quite a few British troops entering the swamp to pursue the rebels, but most of the British troops returned in vain, and not many of them had real results. In contrast, although Stanford suffered a lot of losses, he was also a rare person who really caught the rebels, and there were many seized. So later, he was praised as a "Swamp War Expert" and was commended. Of course, this is a later story.

In France, the three brothers Joseph, Napoleon and Lucien had an unprecedented serious dispute when discussing the issue.

The dispute was triggered by Napoleon's intention to reform the French legal system.

In original history, Napoleon, as a Roman fan, imitated the system of Roman law, created a "Civil Code" with the help of four legal experts, including the Dean of Dali, the Roman jurist Marvel, the Chief Executive of the Government, and the Naval Court Magistrate Pota. This is the most famous "Napoleon Code" in history.

This code has a very high status in history. It is the earliest civil code of the bourgeois state. It confirms the legitimacy of the bourgeoisie and peasants occupying the land and property of the nobility and church, and ensures that it is not violated by feudal forces; denies feudal privileges, establishes the principles of bourgeois freedom and equality, and stipulates that every citizen has equal civil rights and capacity for conduct; the code clearly stipulates social life such as family, marriage, and inheritance. This code is the earliest civil code of the capitalist country. It breaks the feudal legislative principles and becomes the legislative norm of the bourgeoisie in Europe and the United States, and promotes the development of capitalism.

In later generations, two main systems of law were popular all over the world. One was the "American-English-French System" represented by Britain and the United States, also known as the "Marine Law System" or "Customer Law System"; the other was the "Continental Law System" represented by Roman law and the "Napoleon Code", also known as the "Classic Law System" or simply called the "Civil Law System". The "civil law" in the word "civil law system" refers to the "Napoleon Civil Code".

It is said that in the original history, after Napoleon suffered a defeat in Waterloo and was exiled again, he sighed very slowly: "My military achievements in my life have been put into vain with the failure of Waterloo. But only my code will shine for thousands of years."

Whether this sentence is true or not cannot be verified, but the "Napoleon Code" is definitely worthy of such praise. This is a great achievement that is both "creative, important, discussion-oriented, practical and popular."

If you ask whether Joseph supported Joseph to produce such a Napoleon Code, Joseph was of course very supportive. Because this code first confirmed the principle of ownership of people's property. In the original time and space, almost 1/3 of this code provided protection of the inviolability of private ownership from different angles. This is of course the best for Joseph who made a fortune in the Great Revolution.

"Since we have made money by relying on violent means, we should set rules to prohibit others from making money in this way in the future. We must never let others go, and in the end we have no way to go." Joseph has always believed in this. In this regard, Napoleon's code was to elevate the interests of the family into national interests. How could Joseph not support it?

However, after discussing the basic principles of the Civil Code, Joseph began to discuss political arrangements with Napoleon. On this issue, their contradictions were revealed.

At the beginning, Napoleon only mentioned that he intended to ease the conflict with the Holy See. During the Great Revolution, because the Holy See firmly stood on the side of the counter-revolution, and because the revolutionary government adhered to France's fine tradition of "not enough money, robbing the church", France and the Holy See completely turned aside. During the Robespierre period, France simply banned Catholicism and replaced it with the so-called "reasonal religion".

After Robespierre was finished, the attack on the church was reduced (because by this time, the churches in France had been stolen), but the government and the Holy See did not reach a reconciliation, so although the government did not take too much control (the government did not have the ability or idleness to manage), and the civilian Catholic faith has been restored, at least at present, the Catholic Church is still an "illegal organization" in law.

However, this "illegal organization" has a very deep-rooted influence in France. At least in the countryside, there are devout Catholic believers everywhere. So Napoleon felt that if he wanted to further strengthen his position, he needed to reach a reconciliation with the Holy See.

Joseph also supported this point very much. Because religion, as the people's opium is really useful. If there is no religion, how could the people endure the pain in the future?

However, just when talking about this, Napoleon's words made Joseph frown.

"Even the Roman emperors knew to use Christianity to endorse their status. Therefore, the ancient Roman emperors were worn by the pope. Although the pope was just a servant of the emperor, this method could make the people believe more than to confer a god."
