《My Brother is Napoleon》Chapter 13: Napoleon's plan
Advertisement
In fact, in terms of latitude alone, Paris is a little further north than Harbin. Even at the end of November, the sun was still warm in Paris.
As Joseph walked along the leafy streets, a short figure followed him.
"Ah, Napoleon, you have a good idea. But I don't think your actions will have any effect, and it's likely that they will only cause others to resent you. Joseph shook his head gently as he walked, "Napoleon, do you know what I admire most about you? I admire your courage. You see something and you do it bravely. You believe that you can overcome all difficulties and that nothing can stop you. You never let "I don't dare" follow "I want". This is very good quality. Many heroes in history have been able to overcome all difficulties, accomplish great deeds and become immortal legends because they have this quality. However, you have to remember one thing, self-confidence and pride are only a line apart. Very often, you should think more when doing things. First, think about where their goals, and what is really good for them; then think about where their power boundary, what is their power temporarily can not reach, can not force to do. I never worry that you will lose your courage if you think too much, but I always worry that you will lose out because you overestimate yourself and underestimate others. Tell me, for example, what is your purpose in taking such action?
Napoleon smiled smugly as he listened.
"My stupid brother, do you really think I'm worried that the French military schools are teaching the French nobles to be pigs? No, no, no. Is it a bad thing that the French noble officers are stupid? If they were all as smart and brave as I am, then our cause would have no future at all.
"And what are you doing this for?" Joseph asked out of turn, forgetting to condemn Napoleon for having the audacity to violate his patent.
"My foolish brother, is your poor intellect really not enough? Can't you even understand such a simple thing? Napoleon hastened to seize this rare opportunity to return to Joseph what he had received from him.
Joseph stood still and turned his face to stare at Napoleon. Napoleon proudly raised his face and looked at Joseph.
"Hahahahaha ......" Joseph suddenly burst out laughing, "My stupid brother, you do not want to use this method to graduate early, right?
"What?" The smug smile on Napoleon's face suddenly froze, "How could you think that?

In his previous life, Joseph had seen a movie about Napoleon, which briefly mentioned that the maverick Napoleon had graduated early after only one year of study at the Paris Military Academy because of his outstanding performance. Joseph did not think much of it when he saw it, but now, on reflection, given Napoleon's present-day temperament and his obvious and almost undisguised hostility to the French nobility, the early graduation was not a reward, but ......
The "your accusations against them, although unpleasant, but no matter where to put it, at least in reason is completely correct. It's like telling a Catholic priest, 'You should be pious and chaste,' so although your accusations against them may offend them, they can't be used to punish you for it. And then, your grades in all subjects are basically not a problem for them - well, that's what you guys think - and then these guys hate you and want to get rid of you, but they can't do it by punishing you. The best way to get rid of you is to say that you have excellent grades and can graduate early. After all, as far as I know, there is a precedent for this at the Paris Military Academy. Well, that's what you think, my stupid brother, isn't it?"
"Damn it!" Napoleon said, "As much as I want to deny it, you ...... You're not too stupid."
Joseph knew that although Napoleon's mouth was tough, his heart must have been very shocked, so he could not help but feel smug, and almost came out with a sentence: "You monkey, also want to jump out of the palm of the Buddha? But considering that there is still no widely known translation of "Journey to the West", Napoleon did not know this allusion, so he swallowed the words and sighed with a little lack of desire.
"What about my solution? What do you think the chances of success are? Although Napoleon was a little disappointed that his brother had been caught out, he was used to it, so his emotions were not too shattered. The first time I saw him, he asked.
"It's up to you, Napoleon, if you want to make your plans come true, you'll have to make sure that the guys who hate you can't find anything wrong with you academically," Joseph said. Joseph said, "As far as I know, most of the students of the Paris Military Academy are the sons of the nobility ......"
"Not most, but almost all." Napoleon corrected.

"Most of them did live lavishly, as you say, indulging in pleasures, spending their precious time drinking, bragging, enjoying good food, and showing off their carriages, servants, and qíngfù. Although your intellect is not particularly outstanding, it is easy for you to beat such a guy in academics. The alcohol and the beauty have destroyed their intelligence, and now they are not much better than the red-haired gorillas. It is a matter of course to defeat these red-haired gorillas. However, the nobles were not all such red-haired gorillas. The Paris Military Academy is so big after all, it is possible that there are one or two very good guys here. So don't take it too lightly."
"I know that for sure. And I'm studying to improve myself as much as possible, not to overpower anyone. So I won't let myself down, no matter where I am. Napoleon replied.
This, Joseph believed. In terms of the "love of learning" point, Napoleon can indeed be considered a role model, in his life, whether in leading the army, over the snowy Alps or when imprisoned on the island of St. Helena, as long as there is time, will be in the hands of the study.
"Then I think you have a good chance of graduating early. But after graduation, your assignment may not be too good," Joseph said. Joseph said.
"Corsicans like us, even if I work for them every day as a follower and as a minister, what good will it be? Besides, our future is in Corsica, not in France. Napoleon replied without any concern.
At this answer, Joseph almost laughed out loud. For he knew that later, during the French Revolution, Napoleon had fallen out with his idol, Pauli, precisely because of his opposition to Corsican independence, and had even come to blows.
"It's just that Corsica is so small." Joseph sighed. Joseph sighed.
"You're right," Napoleon said. Napoleon said, "This is indeed a serious problem. Even if we could all take one for ten, it would be difficult to defeat France on our own. But France has serious internal problems today, and we may be able to get the support of other countries in the future.
"Like Mr. Pauli in England today?" Joseph said.
"Yes. But I don't think England is reliable either. Napoleon said, "The English have betrayed others more than once. I am afraid they are more willing to let Corsica bleed for them. The most they could do was to pay a little money. This is how Britain helped Prussia in the Seven Years' War. But Corsica is so small, how much blood can it shed? But because of the difficulties, I am full of a fighting spirit.
"My brother, you say that like a Virgil or Homer," Joseph said. Joseph said.
"Ah, my brother, this is the most beautiful sentence I have ever heard from you. Napoleon said happily, "You are right, I am not one of the feeble mediocrities of this age, I am a hero of Homer's time.
"Oh, my foolish brother. Remember, a man's skull is like the numerator of a fraction, and his opinion of himself is the denominator of the fraction; the larger the denominator, the smaller the fractional value. Joseph couldn't help but laugh again.
"Hmph!" Napoleon didn't care about Josephus' habitual sarcasm, he had already gotten used to it.
"He had already gotten used to it. "Well, Joseph, you're going to graduate soon, what are your plans for the future? Napoleon asked.
"Me? I'll probably go back to Corsica and become a priest first," Joseph replied.
"You lie," Napoleon said. Napoleon said, "Your eyes tell me that your mind is already wild, that you already think that Corsica is too small for you. And I don't think you are optimistic about the future of the Church.
"All right, then." I'm going to leave Paris for a while, hideout in Corsica, and keep my eyes on Paris, waiting for something to happen.
"A change?" Napoleon said, "What do you mean?
"A repetition of the story of England in France, of course," said Joseph. Joseph said.
"The story of England?" Napoleon said, "What story are you talking about?
"The story of the Lord Protector Cromwell, of course." Joseph said, "Have you seen what has been revealed recently about the royal income and expenditure?
"No." Napoleon said, "I don't have much contact with my classmates, and I don't go out much in general.
"If the information is reliable, the royal family is on the verge of bankruptcy. Joseph said, "Now the royal family has a lot of debts, now the nobles, the rich people are no longer willing to lend money to the royal family. I think the royal family will have to increase taxes, and once the taxation is massive, with the attitude of the French people, a revolution is just around the corner.

Fragments from the Wildlands
“Your first death is always the hardest.” Miguela was the third-born child of a well-off merchant family and knew from around the time she could speak that her life’s path was already decided. She was to become an Orator, as was Xandran tradition. However, Miguela had an affinity with the magikal arts and somehow found herself studying at the Academy. She did just enough to keep up with her studies but never found the motivation to apply herself and “reach her potential,” as her instructors often said. It was not that Miguela was uninterested in the arts. Rather, she knew her time at the Academy ultimately did not matter. Whenever Miguela returned home, she would become an Orator, and that would be that. Or so she believed until, one day, an opportunity appeared that would change her life. Miguela was offered the chance to join a research team tasked with a mission of the utmost importance to the future of the Five Kingdoms. She could not turn down the prospect of regaining control of her life and finally finding a purpose for herself. Of course, Miguela might soon discover that offers that appear too good to be true are usually fraught with lies. Welcome to Five Kingdoms of Cordizal! Question: What is the Five Kingdoms of Cordizal? I often get asked this type of question about my stories by friends, bloggers, and potential readers. The Five Kingdoms of Cordizal is a high-fantasy epic universe that is the setting for most of my stories. The foundation of the universe is its multicultural, multiracial setting with several sentient races attempting to carve their legacy and survive. The world is fully fleshed out and vibrant with a rich and mysterious history not based on Tolkien mythology. This brings me to magic. To me, magic is an essential part of the fantasy genre, so, of course, there is magic in the Five Kingdoms universe. However, one critical part of the Five Kingdoms universe is that magic is an abundant commodity that is a part of everyday life and not some plot device used to drive the story. In short, the Five Kingdoms universe is the setting of epic fantasy stories with deep characters and world-building. I try to tell as many different types of stories as possible in the universe, and hopefully, you can find something for you in it.
