The ridiculous farce performed in conjunction with a General Hugo was a "big event" that Desai himself had planned for a long time. The reason was simple. Desai wanted Emperor Napoleon to know that he had a stiff relationship with the new nobles of Spain (canoned by the Joseph dynasty), especially those who sympathized with the Royalists (Louis XVIII), or the Jacobinists, who could not live in harmony.

Old Hugo was once a trusted subordinate of General Victor Morro (Old Hugo was the colonel leader at the time). A few years ago, Morro was involved in a conspiracy to assassinate Napoleon by the royalists. After Morro issued a statement that it had nothing to do with the conspiracy to restore the matter, he was sentenced to exile. He was first placed under house arrest in Spain, and then went to the United States until he returned to the European continent in 1812.

When the conspiracy was exposed, the generals and officers of the Morro's army wrote letters to the first ruling party at that time. While expressing their loyalty to Napoleon, they also condemned General Moro's crimes. However, Old Hugo did not do this, but instead defended the innocent General Moro in private. Therefore, Old Hugo was miserable. Despite his outstanding military achievements, for six or seven years, Old Hugo's rank was not promoted from colonel to general until he was under the command of King Joseph.

The above is just one of them. Secondly, Mrs. Hugo (Sophie, the loyal sympathizer of the Royalist Party) is not a trouble-free man. When Paris was searching for the assassination of the conspirators of the first ruling regime, Mrs. Hugo actually hid a royalist general in her home (rumored that the royalist general was also the lover of Mrs. Hugo), who was discovered and arrested by the secret police in Paris. If it weren't for the direct protection of the old Hugo's hometown and friend, the then police minister, Joseph Fouchey, perhaps the old Hugo family would have to be imprisoned. Of course, this matter could not be concealed for too long. After Joseph Fouchey stepped down, Napoleon learned the truth from the successor police minister. Fortunately, King Joseph wrote a letter to plead for mercy in time, so he gave up.

Third, Old Hugo was too loyal to King Joseph and seemed to forget that he was a Frenchman. Emperor Napoleon was the boss. As the court general of the King of New Spain (later the Grand Marshal of the Palace), Old Hugo was ordered to control a spy team. According to Napoleon's amnesty order, all intelligence organizations in any "satellite country" must be jointly controlled with the French ambassador to the country, but Old Hugo ignored it. After the "Court Summer Incident" broke out in 1808, the intelligence agencies of the Kingdom of New Spain were abolished, but they were still operating secretly.

(Note: Gong Xia incident, Gong Xia was a Spanish priest who defected to the Joseph dynasty and later became a spy under Old Hugo. After learning that someone wanted to assassinate Napoleon who was in charge of the Spanish army, Old Hugo sent Gong Xia to report to Napoleon, but knew how to offend the emperor's guard officer. So, the priest of Xia Gong was thrown into prison, and Old Hugo was severely scolded by the emperor and was almost dismissed from his military post.)

Fourthly, Desay wanted to use this farce to dispel King Joseph's idea of ​​winning over himself and to leave Spain earlier. So far, the ambition of the time traveler did not seem to be too high. He retired as a general, then went to the Paris Parliament to become a member of the parliament, opened a canned trust, and became a luxurious and wealthy enjoying nobleman.

Desai carefully considered the legacy of Old Desai. Old Desai, who was a nobleman, once opposed the execution of Louis XVI in the parliament and was imprisoned for six weeks. With this, the "Rocidekiller" hat could not be put on his head. After Louis XVIII ascended the throne again, the horse ran away and danced, and the aristocratic identity remained.

All the above things made Desai unwilling to do and dare not have the friendly exchanges of General Hugo, at least on the surface. After all, Old Hugo could stay in Spain without hesitation until 1813, and he would soon return to Paris, and lived until 1815 under the baton of Emperor Napoleon.

The quarrel between a colonel and a general came to an end with the timely intervention of King Joseph's special envoy. But the matter was not over. Colonel Desay was too tired to travel for days and asked to set off tomorrow. General Hugo also told the King's special envoy that he would handle some administrative affairs and hoped to leave for a night.

Desai led his guards back to the barracks in a swagger. It was an ancient castle in the era of Moors. It was located five miles east of Hadrak Town. The reason I chose it was because of the strong demands of the soldiers. There was a market nearby, and there were many wandering warblers on the market. Due to the existence of the military police, the army of Desai was strict. After shooting several soldiers who could not control their second child in succession, the incident was basically prevented.

Because he went out alone, there was no such thing as Yingying and Yanyan in the Desai regiment. After a series of battles, the soldiers' physical and mental health needed to be relaxed and relaxed. The generous regiment commander sent people to attract all the wanderings in the market and pay for the soldiers of the Desai regiment. Major Carls did not follow him, so he changed into casual clothes and slipped into a room on the second floor from the back door.

As King Joseph's "court general", Hugo could not follow the almost rude behavior of the Colonel of the Guards. He had to send the king's envoy to the outside of the town with moderate diligence, and only after watching the latter get on his horse and leave can he return to his comfort zone.

"Louise, I'm back!" The rude Nantes made noise in the second floor corridor.

After a few sounds, no one responded. Hugo alertly pulled out his sword and tiptoed to the room at the end of the corridor. The door of the room was painted with light green paint, which was very new. Hugo gently pushed it open, and it was quiet inside, only the squeaking sound made by the bonfire in the fireplace. All the windows were covered by thick curtains, making the light in the house very dim. A strange man sat on a lounge chair, hiding on the side of the shadow that the bonfire in the fireplace could not shine, facing the direction of Hugo entering the house.

"General, please put away your sword." The man stood up from the recliner, took two steps forward, and showed his respect with the help of the flames. That was Major Carls, and he continued: "As for your Corsican lover, I asked her to help find a few sunflower plates."

As an acquaintance, the danger was lifted. General Hugo threw the sword in his hand onto the floor covered with hand-woven blankets. The triangle hood above his head and his wig were taken off. He walked straight to sit down on the sofa facing the fireplace.

"Little Fuxie, I'm so happy to see you!" Old Hugo called intimate, but did not get up and hug her.

"General, please call me Carls, or Major!" Carls was unhappy to correct the mistakes of the old Hugo's words. Since he broke up with his uncle, Joseph Foucher, the current police minister of Emperor Napoleon, more than ten years ago, the major has used Carls as his surname, and Foucher's name belongs to Nantes Butcher only.

"Damn, you and that colonel Desai have killed many people. From Madrid to Zaragoza, the infamous reputation of the devil Desai is spread throughout Spain." The general picked up the brandy bottle on the coffee table, poured himself and drank it while sarcastic.

General Hugo was also a Nantes. As early as the Revolutionary period, he worked with Joseph Fouchey in the Nantes Supervision Office. After arriving in Paris, the two families also had a relationship for generations. General Hugo's third son was said to have regarded Fouchey as his godfather. Several years later, Victor Hugo married one of Fouchey's daughters.

"They are just resistance Spanish rebels, no French, no students, and no children!" The major defended loudly.

"Damn it, I don't think there is any difference between a demon and a butcher!" Old Hugo also raised his voice.

A woman's cough sounded outside the door, interrupting the endless dispute between the two men, until the woman's footsteps left, and Hugo's low voice came from the quiet room for a moment.

"Well, now, let's talk about Colonel Desai's trading chips."

Carls took out a note from his shirt pocket and handed it to General Hugo without saying a word. With the help of the bonfire in the fireplace, Hugo browsed the contents of the note.

Colonel Desai hoped to exchange 800 Spanish war horses with the trophy in his hands, including 1,200 Spanish prisoners, 500 rifles (including the part seized by Zaragoza), and a large number of sabers.
