Chapter 1004: March into Sardinia

After receiving the order from Jérôme Bonaparte, Nière quickly returned to the General Staff, and issued an order to the Alpine Front (also called the Italian Front) far away in Lyon through the telegram set up by the General Staff. .

After receiving the telegram from the Chief of General Staff Niel, General Trochu, the commander of the Alpine Front, excitedly raised the telegram in his hand and said loudly to the Chief of Staff, Division Chief, and Staff of the Front Army at the headquarters, "The command of the Chief of Staff Our troops are marching towards the Kingdom of Sardinia!"

After hearing Trochu's order, everyone in the headquarters cheered loudly. In their opinion, the French army entered the Kingdom of Sardinia, and they must fight a big battle with the Austrian Empire. The official has entered the rank.

They didn't know at the moment that the purpose of marching into the Kingdom of Sardinia this time was not to fight at all, and their idea of ​​being promoted to the throne had never existed from the very beginning.

Immediately afterwards, under the order of Trochu, the commander of the Alpine Front, nearly 60,000 troops of the Alpine Front began to assemble.

The various divisions, brigades and regiments surrounding Lyon only took about a day to assemble, and they were completely assembled.

Just when Trochu was about to issue an order for the whole army to march on Savoyon, Trochu's adjutant entered the barracks, and he reported a shocking news to Trochu.

"What did you say!" Trochu asked the adjutant with his eyes wide open as if he didn't understand what the adjutant reported.

"Your Excellency Commander, His Majesty the Emperor and His Excellency the Chief of Staff are now near the platform of the military train station!" the adjutant said to Trochu again.

"Why don't you invite them all over here!" Trochu stomped his foot to reprimand the adjutant beside him, then hurriedly got up and prepared to rush towards the platform of the military train station.

"Commander, Your Majesty and the Chief of the General Staff insist on wandering around the military train station, no matter how hard you try to persuade them!" the adjutant said to Trochu with a hint of grievance.

It was only then that Trochu realized that there was a warehouse of the Italian Front Army near the military train station. His Majesty and the Chief of Staff would not have gone to the warehouse to inspect it in person!

Thinking of this, Trochu hurriedly asked his adjutant, "Are your Majesty and the Chief of Staff near the warehouse?"

The adjutant shook his head first, then after thinking for a moment, he nodded and replied to Trochu, "That's right, Your Majesty and the Chief of Staff are heading towards the direction of the warehouse!"

"It seems that they are indeed going to inspect the warehouse!" Trochu breathed a sigh of relief and whispered something.

Fortunately, when I was serving as the Italian Front Army, I didn't guard myself.

Otherwise, this wave will definitely be reprimanded.

If you make trouble, you may be dismissed!

"Follow me to meet him!" Trochu said to the adjutant beside him, and then walked quickly towards the outside of the barracks.

The adjutant also followed Trochu out of the barracks, and then the two rode towards the military warehouse.

When Adjutant Trochufu arrived near the military warehouse, there was already a group of soldiers guarding the vicinity of the military warehouse. Trochu and the adjutant quickly dismounted and slowly approached in the direction of the soldiers.

When Adjutant Troshchus approached the soldier, the soldier asked loudly, "Who!"

It was only then that Trochu and his adjutant discovered that the soldiers in front of them were not soldiers of the Italian Front Army, but soldiers of the Guards Division.

Trochu hurriedly responded to the soldiers, "I am Trochu, commander of the Italian Front, and this is my adjutant!"

The soldier glanced at the epaulets of Trochu and the adjutant beside him, and he quickly saluted Trochu, "Commander Trochu!"

"Can I go there!" Trochu asked the soldier.

The soldiers quickly cleared a way for Trochu, and Trochu and his lieutenant were able to move on.

Soon, Trochu and the adjutant arrived at the warehouse, and they saw the dark space in the warehouse, including Jerome Bonaparte, Nière, and the staff and adjutants of the General Staff... At this time Jerome M. Bonaparte and others were walking towards the outside of the warehouse, while Trochu and the others were rushing towards the warehouse. The two groups happened to meet near the warehouse gate.

The moment he saw Jerome Bonaparte, Trochu's brain seemed to be short-circuited suddenly, unable to say a word for a long time.

It wasn't until the adjutant beside him carefully lifted Trochu with his foot that Trochu reacted and responded to Jerome Bonaparte, "Your Majesty!"

"Trochu, what's the matter with you!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Trochu with a smile, "I'm going to find you!

I didn't expect you to come so soon! "

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being late!" Trochu bowed and apologized to Jerome Bonaparte.

"It's none of your business!" Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and responded to Trochu, "I'm to blame for this, I didn't inform you before I set off!

It's great that you came here so quickly! "

Trochu bowed his head in silence, and Jerome Bonaparte praised, "I just checked the military warehouse of your Italian front army, and it's very good!

The things in the warehouse house are not the best, and they are worth learning from other armies! "

"Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty!" Trochu humbly replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

Before Trochu was happy for a while, Jerome Bonaparte changed the subject and continued, "However, the classification of the entire warehouse is really bad!

If you can subdivide the types, that would be even better! "

"Your Majesty, I will arrange it right away!" Trochu hurriedly said to Jerome Bonaparte.

"You don't need to arrange it now!" Jerome Bonaparte raised his hand to stop it, "Now you have more important things to do, and the warehouse classification can be put aside appropriately!"

"Yes!" Trochu nodded to Jerome Bonaparte.

After explaining the details, Jerome Bonaparte gave Trochu an order to go to the headquarters of the Italian Front Army.

Under the leadership of Trochu, Jerome Bonaparte arrived at the headquarters of the Italian (Alpine) Front Army.

Trochu then introduced everyone in the headquarters to Jérôme Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte shook hands with each member of the front in turn, asking politely their names, their families, and if they needed any help.

Everyone's unified answer to Jerome Bonaparte was that they didn't need help, as long as they could serve His Majesty the Emperor.

Jerome Bonaparte also smiled and encouraged them to say a few words.

After briefly recognizing all the middle and senior generals of the Italian Front, Jerome Bonaparte turned his head and asked Trochu, "When will the troops depart!"

"Your Majesty, the troops can start at any time!" Trochu puffed up his chest and replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Then let's go now!" Jerome Bonaparte said.

Trochu was taken aback for a moment, and then replied sonorously to Jerome Bonaparte, "Yes!"

The troops quickly prepared and set off. After more than eight hours of marching, the vanguard arrived near the border between France and the Kingdom of Sardinia.

At this moment, the sun was setting, and the afterglow of the setting sun swayed the last ray of sunlight to the sky, dyeing the originally blue and bright sky completely red. Under this fiery red, the troops stationed on the Sardinian border saw the distant The black spots rushed towards them like locusts.

The frontier soldier hurriedly took out his binoculars and looked into the distance. Through the binoculars, he saw the vanguard troops of the French Empire approaching the defense zone where they were stationed.

Seeing this, the frontier soldiers hurriedly put down the binoculars in their hands, and then reported the news to the major stationed in the border area. As the highest officer on the Sardinian border, the major certainly knew the purpose of the French Empire.

So, the major hurriedly put on his clothes neatly, and said to the soldiers beside him, "Quick! Go and move the fence away!"

The soldiers froze for a while, a little at a loss.

"The French army is here to help us resist the Austrian Empire!" The officer of the Kingdom of Sardinia responded to the soldiers.

"Understood!" The soldier hurriedly saluted Jerome Bonaparte, then walked out of the major's room and arrived at the border again, "Quickly remove all the roadblocks!"

The surrounding soldiers also showed puzzled goals, and the soldiers quickly replied, "The French army is here to help us resist Austria together!"

After listening to Jerome, the soldiers hurriedly began to clear the roadblock, and the roadblock was quickly cleared.

After a while, the major also arrived with a military band, and he hastily issued an order to the surrounding soldiers, "Everyone is here, welcome at attention!"

The soldiers hurriedly lined up and stood on both sides of the road. When the French army arrived, the officer hurriedly ordered the military band to start playing.

The passionate "Song of Expedition" was played, under the tune of the "National Anthem" of the Second Empire (in fact, the Second Empire did not have an official national anthem) ~www.NovelMTL.com~ The French vanguard quickly surrounded them, "Mr. , please lay down your weapons!"

The major looked at the "friendly army" in front of him in a daze, and asked in a panic, "Is there a mistake! You are here to help us!"

The French vanguard shook their heads and responded to the major, "We did not make a mistake. The order we received was indeed to disarm all your troops, so give up resistance!"

In this way, the major in the border area was completely disarmed.

Then all the officers in the border area were disarmed and imprisoned by the French army.

At around 8 o'clock in the evening, the vanguard arrived in Chambery. The senior official of Savoyon Province, Camilo Varnay, did not know that the border troops had been captured. They also led their provincial government officials and Chambery. Members of the National Guard went to meet him.

This time, the French army did not capture them, but told Camillo Varney that the French emperor would arrive soon.
