Chapter 136: , Patience and small toys

Kano thought for a while and said: "This matter is very important, but you can't just say that for the two of us and decide..."
Speaking of this, Kano paused again, and then said: "I will seriously consider this matter. If it is really feasible, I will write to you. But...make all kinds of preparations in advance, too Not bad."
Joseph nodded and said: "I will. However, for this, I need you to guarantee the priority purchase of the weapons we produce. In addition, you know that the cost of genuine goods will definitely be higher, and the price will naturally be higher. . You have to ensure that our things will not be robbed of the market by those cheap rotten things."
　　 "I can only say that I will try my best." Cano said.
　　 "Okay." Joseph said, "If there is no way, then I will find a way."
　　 "Don't mess around right away." Kano faintly heard something wrong in Joseph's tone, and quickly said.
　　 "No. Don't you know me yet?" Joseph laughed.
　　……
　　 Coming out of Kano, Joseph took the guards, changed into a carriage, and left Paris.
The day before Joseph left Paris, the researchers who signed a contract with him left Lavoisier (Lavoisier still has some things to deal with with the University of Paris.) They all left Paris and went to Toulon. . At that time Joseph divided his guard cavalry into half and escorted them. Because the mail van they packaged traveled relatively slowly, Joseph caught up with them on the third day after leaving Paris.
　　 A few days later, everyone arrived in Toulon. At this time, it had already been notified that Napoleon had just expanded some of the "Naval Research Institute"-no, it should be called the Bonaparte Institute waiting for them outside.
　　 The expanded Bonaparte Research Institute is very similar in form to the old "Military Technology Research Institute". They are all enclosed in trenches with high wall suspension bridges. The basic layout basically imitated the "Military Technology Research Institute", so these researchers found a suitable place for them very quickly and put their own things in place.
　　 Napoleon has already prepared dinner for them. Everyone gathered for a meal, and then went back to rest.
　　 Joseph called Napoleon out, and the two walked on the beach by the sea, while Joseph talked about the situation in Paris with Napoleon.
　　 "Are you going to let us go to Italy?" Napoleon said, "Why not go directly to Paris? What are these guys doing!"
"Napoleon, it is not the time to go to Paris." Joseph said, "Napoleon, you have won some victories before, but because of this, are you high enough in the hearts of the French people? Have you reached a household name? The French people? When faced with a difficult situation, the first person to think of you will say, "It would be great if General Napoleon was here?" If you still can't do this, think about it, even if you return to Paris and overthrow the government by force, Will you be able to maintain a stable government? If you can't, won't it become a way for others?"
　　 Napoleon listened, and smiled embarrassedly and said: "Actually, I also know it, but it's a bit anxious to watch those fools jump around. It's like watching fools play chess."
"You think people are stupid, but other people don't necessarily think so. It's like watching chess and you think that people are playing a losing move. Those guys who are bystanders think that they are doing very well because their level is too low. What we need to do is to increase your prestige in the hearts of the French people. As soon as the French people hear about the war, they think:'If only General Napoleon is in command.' On the other hand, we just use the government to give us With less funding and poor quality of materials and equipment, we have the opportunity to draw the army over and turn the army of the Republic into an army that truly belongs to us."
　　 "You mean let me go to Italy and use the captured wealth to support the army? Then use my series of victories to contrast the incompetence of those guys in Paris?" Napoleon immediately understood what Joseph meant.
"Yes, but not now, but to make the army feel after the pain caused to them by an incompetent government." Joseph said, "To make them hate or even hate this government, only in this way Under the circumstances, you can use the spoils to buy them and turn them into our army. Before that, we all need to be patient. In addition, during this time, I will also prepare some small toys for you... "
　　 "What is it?" Napoleon hurriedly asked. The "little melon" Joseph gave him last time was so easy to use, it made his expectations high.
　　 "Confidentiality," Joseph said.
　　 After this day, Joseph plunged into the institute. And some of the things he told Napoleon began to become reality.
　　 First, the military pay came down. Although the number of people who got it on the surface seems to have risen a little, what everyone got is the coupon, and the value of this kind of thing is declining almost every day. It's not Jacobin's time anymore, and there is no special commissioner with a guillotine to supervise the merchants who must use coupons. As a result, the practice of refusal to accept index bonds began to generally resurge, and this further caused index bonds to continue to fall. Although in order to please the decent people, the government is still constrained in printing the coupons, but the devaluation of the coupons is as fast as their morals.
　　 As a result, the soldiers’ living standards plummeted, and the quantity and quality of bread they could eat every day also dropped drastically. As a result, Napoleon thoughtfully reduced the frequency and intensity of training. He stayed in the barracks every day, eating the same food as the soldiers, chatting with the soldiers constantly, telling them that the difficulties were only temporary, and he took them with them. Sing: "It will be okay, it will be okay..." It's just that the following sentence becomes "There will be bread with butter."
　　 Although the soldiers complained about the decline in their lives, they loved Napoleon even more.
If only the standard of living has fallen, the image of the supervising government in everyone’s minds will not collapse so fast, but before long, the various weapons and ammunition supplemented by the supervising government made everyone dissatisfied and despised the government quickly. It levitated.
　　 The first thing that made the soldiers complain is the "little melon" that they liked very much before. Because the "little melons" sent in this batch were not surnamed Bonaparte.
　　 As a result, it was natural that on the northern front line, what happened in the armed forces of the two warring parties reappeared again.
　　 The first accident occurred during a live ammunition training. The "little melon" thrown by a soldier did not sound for most of the day. So the silly soldier wanted to go up and see what was going on, but just as he walked a little past, the "little melon" exploded.
　　 Fortunately, even the prefabricated fragments of this cut corner melon were omitted. As a result, the shell was only exploded in two. The soldier was thrown into a certain battle by the air wave, but miraculously he was not injured.
Also during this live ammunition training, there were still a few "little melons" that didn’t sound. After the lessons just now, everyone naturally didn’t dare to go up again. Napoleon even asked someone to circle that piece out with a rope. Others approach. As a result, those "little melons" were left there for a whole day, but they really didn't sound.
　　 Except for the sweet melon, everything else is the same mess. The brown powder used by the artillery was obviously damp, and the sulfur in it was not even broken, and some small stones that might be used for weighing were mixed in. There are not many sabers that can be used. Yes, in the words of some soldiers, when cutting the bread, they are worried that they will be chipped or curled; (Of course, this is because the quality of the knife is too poor, on the other hand, it is also because there are too many additives in the bread. There are also military uniforms. The thickness of the cloth is obviously reduced, and the buttons are not tightly sewn. It can be pulled off the clothes with a little pull.
　　As a result, the soldiers' complaints were really overwhelming. Some low-level officers exchanged letters with their colleagues on the northern front line. They told vividly about the black jokes on the northern front line ~EbookFREE.me~ so that everyone knew the story of the unfortunate General Rubel.
　　 Napoleon still seems to be washing the ground for the government as much as possible, and all the responsibility is attributed to the profiteers. What he said can basically be boiled down to: "Today, the holy is the most holy and the most clear, but it is blinded by a few treacherous officials." Ah, no, I have a wrong word. It should be: "Those people in the government today are actually not bad people, but they Too young and naive to be deceived by those profiteers."
　　 But this statement is a bit unconvincing. The soldiers are not fools, they will not believe that a group of too young and naive guys can climb to that position.
　　 "Can be fooled like this by a few profiteers, unless it is a fool." A soldier said.
　　 "Either silly or bad!" Someone agreed.
"I've all sat in that position. Could they be fools? Their position is not hereditary. If there is no shameful and dirty deal in it, I won't be named Mitterrand!" Another soldier Scolded.
　　 "Maybe there is a businessman who gave them beautiful women." Another soldier began to crook the building.
"How do you know that it was a beautiful girl? Maybe they washed their son clean and sent it to those guys. You know, it's said that some guys above like this bite..." So the building was even more crooked Up.
　　 "Well, it is not them who died on the battlefield anyway. They are not stupid, they are bad!" Someone came to the conclusion.
