Fox of France

　　 After the victory of the Battle of Remap, the Austrian defense in Belgium collapsed. The Austrian army fled in a hurry, and the French army took Aachen almost effortlessly, and their troops were on the Roe River. Due to this series of victories, Du Mourier became the hero who saved France. However, at this moment, a news made him feel bad.

　　 makes him feel unhappy, even the guy he hates is Kano. After the Battle of Valmy, Kano helped him block many unnecessary interventions in Paris. At that time, Di Mourier was extremely satisfied with Cano. However, when he entered Belgium with the army, he began to feel that Kano was really annoying.

　　 Now his supply line has been stretched, and direct transportation of supplies from France through roads is no longer as efficient as directly purchasing supplies locally. So in accordance with the usual practice, at this time, the French government only needs to send money to him. As for supplies, let him buy with the money.

　　 All fools know how much oil and water there is in purchasing military supplies for nearly 100,000 troops. But this is also customary, at least, when France was still a kingdom, it was customary. Anyway, as long as the general can control the scale well, he won't let his soldiers have any problems due to the supply problem.

　　 In the beginning, the government of the Republic also operated in this way, and Di Mourier naturally seized this opportunity to start making a fortune. He used methods such as misrepresenting the number of the army, combat consumption, and buying low-quality supplies at high prices and taking rebates. He did not know how much money he made.

　　 In fact, this technique has been passed down in later generations. For example, the White Elephant purchased 13 sets of MK-45 127mm naval guns from the Bald Eagle not long ago. The total price is as high as $1 billion. Everyone knows that the Bald Eagle’s 127 naval gun is almost the worst existing 127 naval gun in the world. Compared with the Italian Otto 127, the performance is totally unsightly. I don’t know how many Altos are missing. . In addition to being relatively light, this gun has almost no advantages. And the reason why it is lighter is that it saves all the things that can be saved, so that the sustained rate of fire is about the same as that of the Army. When sold to other countries, this gun is also quite cheap, but when buying a white elephant, it can be sold at such an ridiculously high price. The reason is actually simple, because if the price is not high, where can the purchasing staff of White Elephant get the rebate?

　　 Di Mourier is making a fortune, but Cano proposed a so-called "military reform plan", one of which is a very important one, which is to deprive the front-line commander of the financial power. The Ministry of War will directly send special personnel with the army to be responsible for the procurement of various military supplies. It is said that there is a plan to set up a committee specifically to verify the purchase bills. According to Kano, this will help reduce costs and strengthen the government's control over the military, but - but this, isn't this going to kill his parents?

　　 However, Carnot’s ridiculous suggestion that violates the fine traditions of France has won the general support of the Parliament. This is actually very easy to understand. After all, this is a big shortage. Except for a limited number of people in the council, who doesn't want to take this right into their own hands?

　　 But Di Mourier soon discovered that this was just a small trouble, and what was even worse was...Louis XVI was dead!

　　 Just a few days ago, someone found a safe with extremely complicated locks in the Tuileries Palace. After being opened with violence, people found a lot of letters inside. Including the various correspondence between the queen and his brother (the first emperor of Austria) and his nephew (the current emperor of Austria), these letters prove one thing, that is, the royal family has been colluding with foreign countries. Even after the start of the war, they sent all kinds of French intelligence to the Austrians.

　　 In addition, people have also discovered that some people who used to look like revolutionary are actually undercover agents bought by the royal family. For example, Mirabeau actually suggested that the king escape from Paris and initiate a civil war. The deceived crowd rushed into the Pantheon, dragged Mirabeau's body out of it, and threw it into the garbage dump.

　　 The news about Mirabeau made Di Mourier very worried, because he knew that Mirabeau had written to the queen, recommending himself to the royal family, saying that he was loyal and brave. Can completely replace Lafayette. Even when proposing that the king leave Paris to start a civil war in Lyon, the recommended army commander was himself.

　　 It is said that on August 10, during the Paris People’s Revolution, it is said that the king and queen burned some documents urgently, but...

"Damn, these two idiots! Burning a file will not burn clean! What else do you want to do without burning those things? Do you want to go to the guillotine? It is also put in the safe, do you think you designed and made it yourself Locks, can you stop violent unlocking? You want to die, don’t drag me down!” After hearing this news, Di Mourier immediately set aside the problems Carnot had caused him, worrying about it even more terribly. Problem.

　　 But Di Mourier still doesn't know whether those letters include letters recommending him by Mirabeau. After all, many documents were burned. Du Mourier can only pray to God now, hoping that these letters will be burned.

　　 "I knew it would be like this. Maybe it would be better for the Austrians to score in Paris." Dumourier couldn't help thinking like this.

　　 But at this time, those people in Paris actually don't even care about Du Mourier who is still in Belgium. Around the documents in Louis XVI's safe, a new political struggle broke out.

　　 After the August 10th revolution, in order to win over the bottom, the Brissots made Dandong the Minister of Justice, and this position was originally intended for Roland. For this reason, Roland and Mrs. Roland (the one who later said on the guillotine, "Freedom, freedom, how many sins are in your name") cherished Dandong.

　　 After the crisis in Paris was resolved, the Roland couple launched a full-scale attack on Dandong. After he used Paris to gain security, people resented the terror and accused Dandong of being responsible for the September Massacre, thereby forcing Dandong to resign from his position as Minister of Justice.

　　 Dandong still really wanted to compromise with the Brissotites, so he chose to give in and resigned as minister. Of course, before he resigned, he also made a fortune—he accepted a sum of money from Talleyrand and gave him a pass to leave France freely. (Unlike Robespierre the "Uncorrosive", Dandong actually loves money.)

　　 Talleyrand became the ambassador to the UK for a while after selling out the church. After returning home, he found that his former friends, especially Lafayette, had fallen. This makes his situation much worse than a year ago. After the September Massacre, he felt a bit of danger from the dual background of aristocracy and church, so he hurriedly wrote a memorandum praising the French People’s Revolution and condemning the authoritarian system of Louis XVI, informing the British government that the French Republic was established.

　　 Then he found Dandong and said that he would send this memo to Britain. And handily gave Dandong a lot of money. Dandong knew that Talleylang was actually planning to take the opportunity to escape. But for money, he pretended to be fooled and issued Talleyrand a pass. He was more interested in getting Talleyrand's money than cutting off Talleyrand's head.

Later, after the safe box incident broke out, the documents in the safe showed that Talleyrand had been in collusion with the royal family. Dandong also said to Robespierre: "I was cheated by Talleyrand. I didn't expect him to be such a person. ."

　　 In addition to releasing Talleyrand, he also gave Mara a acquittal before leaving. The Brissots accused Mara of inciting soldiers to disobey orders and arrested him. Dandong then acquitted him in a roundabout manner.

After surrendering the Minister of Justice, Dandong still hoped to reconcile with the Brissots, especially the Roland couple. For this reason, on September 25, he publicly opposed the "Land Law". On October 4, He also proposed in Parliament that the state of emergency should be ended. The end of the state of emergency means that various price-limiting measures will be gradually lifted~www.readwn.com~ After that, when he talked with Lamer, he even said that in order to achieve peace, he agreed to continue the constitutional monarchy, as long as the king Replaced by the Duke of Chartres (son of the Duke of Orleans). Logically, the Brissots should have reconciled with Dandong.

　　 However, I don't know why, Madame Roland has a special hatred for Dandong. They didn't want to let Dandong go. They first attacked Dandong's corruption and demanded to check Dandong's accounts, but Dandong was unable to produce detailed accounts. Then they accused Dandong of stealing property from the palace during the uprising on August 10. In order to protect himself, Dandong could only fall to Robespierre.

　　 But Robespierre was also attacked by the Brissotites, who accused Robespierre of deliberately inciting riots during the August 10th revolution. However, in the face of this accusation, Robespierre made a speech in the parliament, stating that the legitimacy of the current parliament and government originated from the August 10th uprising. Any words and deeds that deny the August 10th uprising are The denial of the republic itself.

　　 As a result, this accusation made Robespierre more famous.

　　 So they changed directions again, accused Robespierre of being responsible for the September Massacre, and attacked him for trying to become a dictator or even a tyrant.

　　 But at this critical time, on November 20, the safe broke out. The documents in the safe clearly proved that the king and his wife had definitely committed treason, and some Brissots also colluded with the king.

　　With such a weapon, Robespierre and the others immediately turned from defense to offense, demanding that the king and other traitors be punished for treason.
