"The war is finally over!" Xiao Jie said, looking at the night sky alone. After the Battle of Austerlitz, the main force of the coalition forces has been basically wiped out. Tsar Alexander fled to Russia in embarrassment with tens of thousands of remnants, while Austrian Emperor Francis fled to Budapest under the protection of his personal guards. As for the Prussian army that had not participated in the war, after knowing the defeat of the Russian-Austrian coalition forces, they immediately transferred back all the troops that were going to be sent to the front line, and immediately sent people to show their favor to Napoleon, saying that Prussia had absolutely no intention of being an enemy of France.
Thus ended the nearly three-month war. The next thing to do is for the defeated to bow his noble leader to the victor, and then exchange money and land for the continued rule of the country. The next thing to do is to those negotiating experts. The duties of the soldiers have basically been completed.
But Xiao Jie knew that the war would come again in less than a year, and the ambition shown by Napoleon had already made all the countries feel uneasy. The French Empire became stronger in these battles, and at the same time, it was also going to perish.
Christmas this year was spent in Vienna with Napoleon. Numerous high-ranking military officers of the empire and their emperor had a carnival in the palace of Emperor Francis of Austria. The soldiers were also allowed to drink a little wine by the officer, and they were also given some roast goose and other meat. This can be regarded as His Majesty's reward for their hard work, but those who died in the war were not so lucky. At this moment of celebration, basically no one would remember them. And those wounded soldiers are still wailing constantly. Due to the very low level of medical treatment in this era, many of them will not survive this winter.
At the banquet, Napoleon's subordinates toasted him frequently, praising his glorious deeds. Sure enough, everyone loves to hear flattery, and Napoleon was flattered by everyone.
At this banquet, Xiao Jie also became another popular person besides Napoleon, especially Li Yi, Lan Shi and Lana expressed their gratitude to Xiao Jie. Others also knew that through this war, Xiao Jie's talent displayed made Napoleon even more delighted, although his various tactics seemed a bit unworthy now and were considered an insult to chivalry, But as long as they can win, what is chivalry worth in this age of materialism?
The banquet lasted until the early hours of the morning. When Xiao Jie was about to drag his tired body back to his room to sleep, Napoleon stopped him. I really can't tell, it's so late, and he's still in such good spirits, maybe it's because of happy events that people really feel better. Xiao Jie thought so.
"Uncle, is there anything else you can do with me?" Xiao Jie cheered up and asked.
"Andresi, isn't that enough? You are still a young man?" Napoleon said looking at the tired Xiao Jie.
"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired." Xiao Jie said.
"Okay. Andresi, your parents are not with you this year. Even your 15th birthday was not given to you because of the war. Now that the war is over, what gift do you want? Uncle will give it to you." Take Pollen said kindly.
So this is what happened? Xiao Jie thought. Fighting with the army for days, he even forgot his birthday. Unknowingly, he has been in this world for 15 years, but he still hasn't done much. Xiao Jie was a little touched that Napoleon still remembered his birthday.
"I've grown up, so I don't need presents. I'm very touched that you can still remember these when you are so busy." Xiao Jie said.
"Alright then." Xiao Jie thought for a while and said, "Then my gift is that I want a legion."
"What?" Napoleon's expression changed. But he quickly recovered and asked, "Little Andresi, are you kidding me?"
"No, Uncle. I really want to command an army. But I know it's difficult for you. I don't think anyone will let a 15-year-old child command an army." Xiao Jie said calmly.
"Then why did you make such a request? Although I know that with your ability, you are fully capable of commanding a legion, but you also know that you are still a child. I don't think any country will let a Even if the child commands a legion, even if he is very talented, even if he is the emperor's nephew, that's the same." Napoleon hoped that Xiao Jie would give up this somewhat absurd request.
"As you said, there is no country where the army is commanded by a child. Now the country's army commanders are either marshals or generals. And I am just a little captain now. But Now, as long as you give me this opportunity, I can lead an army that is completely different from other legions. In addition, I will not want one of these legions in the current empire, I will build a new one myself. Similarly, because My current military rank is too low, so I don't require 40,000 people like other legions. According to my preliminary plan, I only need 6,000 people now. I will do it after I get your approval. It's not too late to expand. I also know that the empire's finances are very tight now, so I won't ask for a penny from the empire. All the expenses of this legion will be borne by me personally. All I want is a number from the Ministry of War That's all."
After listening to Xiao Jie's words, Napoleon thought about it carefully: he knew that if he followed Andresi's request, it would bring a lot of benefits to the empire. With Andresi's ability, the combat effectiveness of his legion will definitely be at the top of the empire's legions in the future. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com But at the same time, he also has a little worry, he can also see that Andresi is also a person with great ambitions like him. After a battle between heaven and man, Napoleon finally compromised. He thought: Anyway, this empire will be handed over to him in the future, and it might be a good thing to establish his own power earlier. So he smiled and said: "Well, Andresi, I agree to your request. But you must remember what you said, I will not give you a franc to form this army. I know that recently You have made a fortune, and half of the country's copper production is in your hands. You must know that this country will be inherited by you sooner or later, so I don't want you to do something excessive. As for the personnel of your legion, I will ask the Ministry of the Army to transfer a group of people from each legion, and if there are any shortages, you can transfer them from the recruits. As for the number, I will give it to the 11th Army Corps."
Xiao Jie was very happy to see that Napoleon agreed. As for the fact that he said that the empire would be inherited by him in the future, he still believed that Napoleon was telling the truth. Maybe everything is different.
"Can you change the number?" Xiao Jie said.
"Why? According to the sequence, it should be this number? What kind of number do you want?" Napoleon asked.
"I want the designation 88th Legion."
"Why?"
"Because the number '8' in the ancient East represents auspicious good luck, so I want this number."
"Well, it's just a number anyway, and it's not a big deal." Napoleon, who dotes on Xiao Jie, finally agreed to Xiao Jie's various requests.
