"Take it! Marshal, this is proof of your contribution to France!"
Jerome Bonaparte first came to St. Arnault, and said with passion on St. Arnault's body the medal symbolizing the marshal.
Seeing this, St. Arnault hurriedly saluted Jerome Bonaparte, and Jerome Bonaparte returned the same salute to St. Arnault.
Subsequently, Jerome Bonaparte once again handed the gilded marshal's scepter in the tray to Saint Arnault.
Saint Arno took a step forward, solemnly took the scepter with both hands, and then returned to the original position again.
"Long live Marshal Saint Arno! Long live the Empire!"
The army in the audience cheered for St. Arnault to become the marshal. Although their cheers were just actions after being ordered by their superiors, it also meant that the army did not contradict Saint Arno to become a marshal.
"I will live up to your expectations and trust in me! I believe that under your leadership, France will be able to become strong again!" Saint Arnault said to Jerome Bonaparte in a determined tone.
After speaking, Saint Arnault salutes the monarch in front of him once again.
"I believe it too! With your help, France will definitely be stronger!" Jerome Bonaparte returned the salute with a smile on his face.
The coronation of Commander Reynio also ended with cheers and salutes.
After the marshal ceremony, a grand military parade began.
Nearly 60,000 soldiers began to be inspected by Jerome Bonaparte in an orderly manner under the instructions of their respective commanders.
On horseback, Jérôme Bonaparte, Saint Arnault, Reno, and the generals who followed them, Bonaparte and the orthodox generals, reviewed each team in turn, stopping from time to time to ask the commander's name and affiliation. Troop number.
The image of Jérôme Bonaparte can finally say, "In Paris, the army recognizes no one but me."
After the military parade ceremony, Jerome Bonaparte, as usual, spent hundreds of thousands of francs to improve the food for the soldiers participating in the military parade.
In the eyes of some in the army, Jerome Bonaparte has become synonymous with salami and brown bread.
Of course, this is just some of the views of veterans who have been in the military for a few years.
Many new recruits this year looked at the emperor's nephew with admiration. From their eyes, Jerome Bonaparte was already equal to the emperor, and he would lead France to revival.
As long as France can be successfully revived, they will be able to gain power as they did during the Revolution.
And the reason why they equate revival with gaining power is probably due to the influence of their parents.
Those parents who lived in Napoleon's time experienced hardships, but also experienced warmth and joy. As they get older, the once "cruel" memories will be selectively erased by them.
In their mouths, the war has become a man's romance, and the past glory has become warmer, and they happily tell the next generation what happened to them, including but not limited to playing with German women.
The case of Jourdan, Ney, etc. jumping up and the Napoleonic era as the older generation speaks gave unrealistic illusions to the second generation of French soldiers, who were eager to restore their former glory.
Whoever can lead them back to glory, they will follow their orders and move forward.
It can be said that from the moment Jerome Bonaparte launched the coup d'état, the whole of France has been wrapped in the bayonet of the patriotic flag itself hidden under patriotism.
Everyone is the promoter of the **** bayonet.
The military parade ended with the cheers of "Long Live the Empire, Long Live Bonaparte".
Reigno, who won the title of marshal, rushed back to Strasbourg again. At this time, he was full of energy, and his whole body seemed to glow with the second spring.
Now that the title of Marshal has been obtained, is the title still far from him?
Marshal Reigno believed that as long as he could complete the task of reforming the Strasbourg barracks, he would be rewarded.
Marshal Saint Arnault, the chief of the general staff, also accelerated the pace of the formation of the general staff.
June 1, 1852.
The General Staff began to be reorganized under the joint consultation of Marshal St. Arnault and Jerome Bonaparte. The three small groups responsible for Germany, the Near East and Italy in the former Secretariat were officially turned into four divisions.
The first is responsible for the Ottomans, Greece, Russia, Sweden, Norway, Denmark.
The second is responsible for: Germany (especially Prussia), Austria, Switzerland, Italy!
The third office: responsible for mainland France, Britain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal
The fourth division is responsible for Asia and the Americas.
Among them, in addition to being responsible for Asia and the Americas, the fourth division also shoulders the functions of organization, mobilization, training and deployment.
Members assigned to subordinate armies from the military station are trained by the hands of the department.
In addition to the above four departments, the Military Science and Technology Department under the General Staff is also an important department. In order to prepare for the establishment of this department, Jerome Bonaparte ordered the new Minister of War, Cuzanne Montauban, to make the best of the army. Experts such as historians, surveyors, statistics, topographic surveying and mapping are located in the military science and technology department, allowing them to map more accurate maps.
Members who used to go to the Ministry of Railways for organization and coordination were also recruited into the (new) Railway Department.
Since field surveying and mapping is the top priority, Saint Arnault specially appointed a "field surveying and mapping director" as the post.
Jérôme Bonaparte and St. Arnault took about three weeks to complete the framework of the newly established General Staff.
Under such a framework, the military administration and military orders have been completely separated from each other and do not interfere with each other.
Kuzan Montauban had no right to intervene in the army's marching orders, and Saint Arnault also had no right to decide on the appointment and dismissal of the army.
The newly established General Staff has more than 155 people since its inception.
At the same time, a new problem also faced Jerome Bonaparte and Saint Arnault.
When Jerome Bonaparte demanded that every division, brigade and regiment should be equipped with a corresponding staff, General Saint Arnault explained embarrassingly to Jerome Bonaparte: the French army every two or three years It is necessary to change the station once. Except for certain areas such as the Seine and Strasbourg, the configuration of the army, division and brigade level is mostly temporary.
In many armies brigade commanders and division commanders, division commanders and corps commanders only meet for the first time during the war.
The four-level staff of the formed army, division, brigade, and regiment should follow whose leadership in peacetime, and how should they find their own troops.
This has become a persistent problem.
Jerome Bonaparte and Saint Arnault sat on the sofa and pondered for a long time, then Jerome Bonaparte, who was in his arms, asked, "Can the army be fixed in one area, the highest is Stationed along the railway line. That way, when the army is mobilized, it can arrive faster!"
"But yes! It's just..." Saint Arno responded hesitantly.
"Just what? What's the difficulty?" Jerome Bonaparte asked again.
"If the army often stays in a region, it is very likely to become a regional force, which is not conducive to our mobilization!" Saint Arnault was afraid that the army would merge with local forces, which would lead to an armed opposition to Paris.
"What about the theater? If the French army is divided into five military regions, east, west, north, south, and center, each military region has a general or marshal as the head of the military region, and the troops can be mobilized within their jurisdiction! Soldiers recruited every year All have to be assembled and then unified into different teams!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Saint Arnault.
Dividing theaters and performing swaps within a certain range can reduce the problem that the army cannot form a complete army and division-level command due to continuous mobilization.
Each theater only needs to be divided into a corps-level staff that represents the theater, and then the corps-level staff can lower the division-level and brigade-level headquarters. As long as the army's defense does not exceed the theater, the corps, brigade, and regiment staffs It is easy to find an army that is gradually yours.
If it were the Prussian army, then there would be no need to defend the army in this way.
Compared with Paris, which is always fond of revolution, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Prussia are simply the best soldiers in the world. They work hard and are willing to be beaten with whips.
The French soldiers chanted democracy every day at every turn. Although they did not understand the meaning of democracy, they knew that the slogan would save them from being severely beaten by higher-ranking officers.
In the final analysis, it is still a question of building a national army and building a national army.
"This is the only way!" Saint Arnault nodded and said to Jerome Bonaparte~www.novelhall.com~ There is no better way at the moment, they can only choose a little more reliable 's plan.
June 29, 1852.
The French Minister of War Cousin Montauban issued the first directive.
Starting from July 1, France was officially divided into five major theaters in the northeast, south, north, south, and middle.
The managers of each theater are marshals or generals with merit. The theater sets up a corps-level staff to help the marshals/generals formulate strategic goals, complete strategic planning, and train troops.
There should be division and (brigade) regiment-level staff headquarters under each theater, and various departments should be stationed within the theater.
It can be seen from the instructions of the Ministry of War that the army is completely developed around the staff, and the staff is also developed around the general staff.
Such a layout will inevitably be complained that the staff has seized the power of the commanders, but such complaints are not worth mentioning to the chief of the general staff and the emperor who are determined to reform.
