Fox of France

　　 Fouché is also considered to be a man in the history of France. From the French Revolution to the First Empire, during this time, there were only three politicians standing tall, namely Talleyrand, Carnot and Fouché.

　　 Like Talleyrand, Fouché came from a seminary. But unlike Talleyrand, Fouché was a commoner, so naturally he was not a dean, bishop, or archbishop. In addition, Fouché was not good at words-this is a huge weakness for a priest- —So he didn't even get the position of a priest in the church. Until he left the church, he was just a pastor apprentice.

　　 But the seminary career still left a deep imprint on him, and this imprint is almost exactly the same as the seminary left Talleyrand, that is, there is no faith and unscrupulous. So in later history, he was almost the same chameleon as Talleyrand.

　　 He was once a good friend of Robespierre, so good that he almost became Robespierre’s brother-in-law, but he followed the more powerful Lafayette. After Lafayette gradually lost power, he became a friend of Condorcet, the Girondist tycoon. During the trial of Louis XVI, he publicly advocated forgiving the king the night before, but when he voted the next day, he supported the death penalty and shouted: "To save France, you must cut off the head of the tyrant!" During the Jacobin dictatorship, he was more radical than Robespierre, even more radical than Ebel. In Lyon, he chopped off thousands of heads in one go and put forward the slogan that almost abolishes private ownership and divides all wealth.

　　 However, Robespierre has never forgotten his betrayal. After suppressing Ebel, he planned to get rid of Fouché. But he felt that Dandong was obviously more dangerous. So he temporarily spared Fouché and concentrated on dealing with Dandong. This gives Fouché time. After Dandong's death, Fouché used people's fear and extraordinary personal ability to weave a large web of rebellion, and finally killed the Great Demon King Robespierre in the Hot Moon coup. Many people, including Lazare Cano and Napoleon’s benefactor Ballas, played a very important role in this conspiracy, but all the clues were finally gathered in Fouché’s hands, and he was the one. The person weaving the net.

　　 It's just that the fall of Robespierre didn't make Fouché fly to the top. People will never forget what he did in Lyon. Although Fouché kept his head (by contrast, Kano was almost cut off), he lost all his duties.

　　 But Fouché did not give up. For a period of several years, he had been secretly assisting Ballas to investigate various secrets of his political opponents. Because of these credits. He was finally promoted by Ballas and became the head of the police department.

　　 In Wuyue, he assisted Napoleon again, overthrew the superintendent government, and continued to serve as Minister of Public Security. Then he assisted Napoleon and emptied Ballas, so that after Napoleon became emperor, he continued to serve as Minister of Public Security. After the restoration of Louis XVIII, he could still continue to hold this position, until France passed the "Law of the Killers", and finally ended his political career.

　　 But if he is regarded as a chameleon or a clown just because of this, it would be too contemptuous of him. In fact, neither Robespierre, Ballas nor Napoleon trusted him, but they all had to rely on his unparalleled ability. If Kano is a genius in military logistics organization, Fouché is a genius in secret operations and public security control. He created the most rigorous surveillance network in the world at the time, and even Queen Josephine was his informant.

　　Every ruler, from Robespierre to Napoleon, doubted Fouché, beware of Fouché, and even feared Fouché, but they all had to use Fouché. It is even said that even Charles X, who hated everyone connected with the revolution, sighed: "If only I had a Fouchie." Of course, when he said this, he must have never thought about it. , If he really had a Fuxie under his staff, based on his stupidity and arrogance, he must have been sold by Fuxie a long time ago, and also helped him count the small money.

　　 Fouché took the lead, and then more people followed. Joseph counted slightly, and the number of people who stood on Lafayette's side had clearly exceeded the number of votes Lafayette received. After all, at this time, Lafayette's power far surpassed Robespierre.

　　 Lafayette looked at Joseph, who was still standing still, and Joseph knew that he couldn't hesitate anymore.

　　 Joseph came out, but instead of walking towards Lafayette, he walked towards the podium.

　　 "Can I say a few words?" Joseph asked with a calm face to the new chairman Robespierre who was standing nearby.

　　 "Of course, the club is a place for everyone to talk freely." Robespierre said.

Joseph nodded, walked up, held the podium with his hand, leaned down, scanned everyone, and then said: "Today I really didn't expect to have the honor to witness such a shameful scene! Yes, a shameful scene! I noticed. In the voting just now, His Excellency Lafayette received far fewer votes than those standing next to His Excellency Lafayette. I would like to ask, those who voted for Robespierre Sir, but at this time, those people who walked to Your Excellency Lafayette, what caused you to change your attitude in such a short time? Change your beliefs? Look at your weak Look, do you still have morals? You must know the shame, you must know the shame!"

Then Joseph turned to Lafayette again, hesitated for a moment, and then firmly said: "Your Excellency Lafayette, you have always been clear about my political attitude. But please forgive me for what I said. Today Mr. Robespierre He proposed a secret ballot on the grounds that some people would be afraid to express their true thoughts because of their fear of your power. Unfortunately, this worry became a fact. And your actions after voting—though I believe, You don’t think like this-but in fact, you are using your power to persecute everyone. I think your actions now are irrational and improper. For this reason, plus the people standing by your side Among them, there are some people I despise. So please forgive me, I cannot stand by your side. Because I don’t want to stand by these people. Sorry!"

　　 After saying this, Joseph bowed to Lafayette, then walked down from the podium, and walked back to where he stood.

　　 "Flap, pop, pop." Robespierre took the lead and clapped, and then the rest of the people who had not walked over clapped. Lafayette glanced at Joseph, then walked out with the people around him. At this time, someone whistled.

　　 "Mr. Bonaparte, you said so well!" said a voice in his ear.

　　 Joseph turned his head and saw Saint Just standing beside him.

　　……

　　 After installing this B, Joseph did not stay in the Jacobin Club for a long time. He quickly left the club and returned to his residence on the grounds that there were still many things.

　　 "How is the situation?" Napoleon asked.

"Lafayette left with most of the club's people, and the Jacobin Club officially split." Joseph said, "Although there was a secret ballot, when he left, he said directly,'Will follow me. Come to my side', damn, I still have to stand in line, although I hate standing in line the most."

　　 "Are you on Robespierre's side?" Napoleon asked, "Joseph, I don't understand, why are you doing that to Robespierre..."

As if unable to find the right words, Napoleon hesitated for a while before continuing: "You have to know that there are more representatives like him. In terms of weight, he and Lafayette Te is not a heavyweight at all. Are you willing to offend your immediate boss for him?"

　　 Joseph shook his head and said, "Napoleon, you don't understand. These two people are not the same. Lafayette is indeed more important now, but the future lies on Robespierre's side."

　　 Having said that, he lowered his voice and said to Napoleon: "The following things I want to tell you, you must remember, but don't tell anyone."

　　 "What's the matter? Do it like this!" Napoleon made a disapproving posture, but he also leaned over and lowered his voice.

"I have a strange self-consciousness, Napoleon, my brother. I don't know if you can understand this. It seems a bit irrational to say it. But Robespierre gave me that feeling. Like. It's a poisonous snake hiding in the flowers... No, this analogy is not accurate. If it's just a poisonous snake, we can pinch it to death, just like the little Hercules. (In Greek mythology, the hero Hercules was just born , He pinched two cobras trying to attack him by the cradle), but Robespierre is not a poisonous snake, he is not the kind of thing that can't get on the table, he is... he is the hidden Nidho Grid. (In Norse mythology, a poisonous dragon that constantly gnaws at the roots of the World Tree, one day, it will bite off the roots of the tree, and then fly into the sky full of dead people, thus proclaiming the arrival of the dusk of the gods.)

　　 "Are you exaggerating?" Napoleon said.

"Look, there will be one day when he will fly like Niederhogg, with dead people hanging on his wings, and his mouth is spitting out what France has accumulated over the centuries and is crushed underground The vicious flames of resentment swept across France, bringing France a real dusk of the gods~www.novelmtl.com~Most of the great people like gods will lose them in this feast. His head, until the earth is tired of this excessive blood, will he whistle and plunge into the bottomless abyss like Niederhogg did when the world was reborn. Before that, we must hide. If you open his flames, you can't stand on the opposite side of him anyway, at least, not until the earth is full and even tired of the blood of the gods."

　　 "In that case, Joseph, why are you staying in Asgard? Why don't you hide in the tree hole in advance?" Napoleon asked.

　　 Asgard is the location of the Temple of Odin in Norse mythology. It is also the most intense and deadly battlefield in the dusk of the gods. It is said that after the end of the dusk of the gods, some people hid in the tree hole of the world tree, escaped death, and rebuilt the new world.

"My brother. The twilight of the gods is not a thing that lasts for a twilight. I must prepare enough reserves for the days in the tree hole and the new era. Except in Asgard, you can still be Where to get it? Napoleon, if you just want to be a commoner in the new world, the reserve you need is very simple. But if you want to go to the Golden Palace after the dusk has passed, sit on the seat of Odin left behind, Now, it’s not time to escape."

　　 "Look at what you said, it's just like a magic stick." Napoleon said.

　　 "Why, don't you believe it?"

　　 "I believe you a ghost! Your death stick is so bad!" Napoleon said. However, Joseph knew that Napoleon should have believed some. Napoleon was a man who had the second aura of ancient Greek, Roman and even Nordic legendary heroes, so he could easily believe that kind of "intuition" full of mystery and second aura.
