Chapter 1974 Behind closed doors eight

Speeches can be inflammatory. The content of Napoleon's speech just now was quite peaceful, such as "The motherland is so prosperous because of your support" and so on.

The carriages accompanying this time were all very luxurious, just like a luxury car that could attend a luxurious banquet at the Paris Opera House and drove to the countryside.

Anyway, even if Napoleon was wearing an ordinary uniform instead of a green marshal's uniform, he would not give the impression that he was an ordinary soldier. Just like he was wearing civilian clothes, others could recognize him at a glance.

Although ordinary soldiers lived in barracks under the beacon towers, the officers built a French-style manor in the forest. It was surrounded by forests and had a large lawn in front. Although it did not have the geometric trees of Versailles, it could overlook the entire river valley.

It's a very suitable place for headquarters.

There is a movie called Band of Brothers, in which a group of American soldiers landed in Normandy and fought all the way to Austria. At that time, there was a restaurant used by officers in a small town below the "Eagle's Nest". The tableware inside was all pure silver, and those soldiers were covered in war flames.

There are traces of smoke. Americans who are used to seeing ruins ravaged by war have never seen such a scene.

This place is not that exaggerated, but the wine is enough. There is no theater or library in Bolbeck. Even if there is a library, these soldiers will not go there. What else can they do in their daily entertainment life besides drinking?

Georgiana was placed here with other non-military entourage. It is estimated that the officers are surrounding him at the moment. She is not a woman who wants to join in the fun on this occasion. She can be shown off like a trophy, but he said that tonight

What does it mean to have dinner with her? Does she want to dress up in jewels and have dinner with him in the restaurant downstairs?

"What kind of judgment do you have!" she muttered angrily, preparing a list and planning to divide some of the things she bought from Rouen.

She didn't want to use her own name, if the British and the French were to go to war again one day...

She also couldn't use the name Josephine, because what she did during Napoleon's expedition to Egypt was already known to everyone, and his "brothers" even introduced women to him.

Chaptard probably wouldn't do it either, but luckily she met Napoleon's personal secretary Menilvar next door.

He is also sorting it out, but most of it is paperwork. It is a big office, but there is only one table in it. There is no shortage of wood in the forest. All the walls are decorated with good wood. In addition, the fire is also

Born.

It just so happened that he was here, so she handed him the list.

"What are you doing?" Menival said, looking at Georgiana's list.

"You will find a few people later to unload these things from the car. Also, don't make any noise and don't let anyone know. You will be left to the First Consul to decide how to distribute them."

After she finished speaking, she left.

The things bought for 50,000 francs are not enough to fill a gap in the army's teeth. Some people get the supplies and others don't, which will cause inequality, so that a good thing turns into a bad thing.

She returned to her room again, where Matilda and Madame Ballillon chatted happily, holding blue curtains in their hands.

Now that indigo is so expensive, blue cloth has also become more expensive. Georgiana asked Matilda to buy curtains, but she didn't say which color.

She glanced at the smiling Mrs. Barrillon again. Rana's wife was also the daughter of the minister, but she was younger and not as good as Mrs. Barrillon. She had complete control over these little girls, except for Feryl.

I didn't see them talking, nor did I see them getting into trouble. It was like there was an invisible barrier between the two, and they had to be careful to keep a distance.

Her small suite also has an office, which is not as luxurious as the one next door, and also has a full-time secretary.

She had just unfolded the map and thought about how to improve her thesis, when Ferrier gave her a letter.

"This is a letter from Toussaint Louverture to you," said Philiel. "It has been there for a few days."

"Ask Farron if his equipment is still there," Georgiana said. "If it is, tell him that I want to requisition a few units, and Sèvre will pay him."

"Yes, ma'am," said Philyl.

After Philyl left, Georgiana covered the letter with the map and continued to think about her thesis.
