158 Confessions
Robert Spear's original purpose was to protect himself, because the trial steps of the Revolutionary Court were too scary. As long as he went to the Revolutionary Court, there was basically no possibility of survival. For the sake of Paul Pearplane, he could only continue to send his political enemies!
It was not until the National Salvation Committee was left with only his own people that Robert Spear breathed a sigh of relief, he was finally safe...
At this time, Robert Spear had turned the National Salvation Committee into a one-man rule. He was implementing a real dictatorship, something Robert Spear could never have dared to think about before.
The corruption of power has gradually made Robert Spear go against his original intention. He knew that the revolutionary court was a pathological political means, and he should ban it after he took power. Anyway, the enemies within the Paris Revolutionary Government have been almost cut off...
But Robert Spear, who was in power alone, was worried that someone would oppose him, so he left the revolutionary court as a "justice" to cleanse disobedient people.
This will consolidate your dictatorship!
This move prevented the Paris Revolutionary Government from returning to its original trajectory. Even though Robert Spear had suppressed the power to expand the scope of the revolutionary court, the bloody terror continued.
Especially in local towns that Robert Spear cannot see, there are tragedies on earth.
Because the nobles and wealthy fled and died, when the revolutionary court had no subject to trial, the revolutionary court became a tool for local government politicians to eliminate dissidents.
Robert Spear underestimated the greed and cruelty of human beings. He controlled the revolutionary court in Paris and no longer lined up to send people to the guillotine every day. However, the revolutionary courts in the local area are still constantly cleaning, and even the goal of cleaning is moving down to the civilian class!
This will naturally cause panic among the people!
When the butcher's knife is only targeted at the nobles and the rich, the civilian class can cheer without restraint, but when the butcher's knife is aimed at itself, the civilian class has only endless anger besides fear!
In order to increase taxes, many local officials began to send unruly poor civilians to the revolutionary courts and even the guillotine!
Fortunately, Robert Spear was not a blind man. When the influence expanded, he began to send local examiners to investigate unjust killing cases and gradually control the use of revolutionary courts by local governments.
This is how the tragedy of beheading people across the country was curbed!
But before this, many civilian families had suffered, and Jacobin's reputation was being linked to the reign of terror.
However, Robert Spear, who was working hard to deal with Levi's rebels, did not notice the surging undercurrent below.
Robert Spear named the newly established legion the Revolutionary Army of the National Salvation Army to enhance their sense of honor and repeatedly carry out revolutionary brainwashing throughout the legion.
This was learned from Robert Spear and Li Wei. When Li Wei established the garrison army, the position of supervisor aroused Robert Spear's interest. He began to send propagandists with firm revolutionary will to follow the army in the newly established revolutionary army to act. His daily task was to repeatedly explain the revolutionary justice to the officers and soldiers.
In order to strengthen the ideological awareness of the revolutionary army in saving the country, Robert Spear did not make small fuss like Li Wei. Each battalion-level unit sent at least two propagandists. Each level of officer will be equipped with propagandists of the same level, and the propagandists are also combat personnel, and they are treated as officers at the same level as the battalion commander!
In addition, the propagandists have the obligation to take the lead in charge at the jeopardy moment.
Of course, they also have the power to shoot the fleeing officers on the spot.
However, the propagandist can only kill officers of the same rank or below.
It has to be said that Levi's supervisor measures have opened the door to a new world for Robert Spear.
Only by grasping ideas in the army can everyone really fight to the death. This is much more effective than simply singing the "Marseille March".
While the Revolutionary Army of the National Salvation Army was being established, Fatis had already taken his followers to the Picardy region and the northern Calais Strait region to enter the Austrian Netherlands.
Fatis, who had walked around the northwest of France, used his full-powered commissioner authorized by the Paris Revolutionary Government to pull all combat-capable troops from all over the place and received a large amount of supplies and ammunition!
Fatis' team expanded to more than 30,000 people at once!
And when entering the Austrian Netherlands (now Belgium), he also raided the garrison of a 10,000-man corps defence on the border.
Fatis first sent a few people to infiltrate, contact grassroots officers and soldiers, and instigated them, and then took the opportunity to launch an attack. With the help of the inside and outside, the army disarmed the 10,000 troops without any effort!
These troops were finally determined toward Jacobin and the revolution. They soon picked up their weapons again. After taking Dimurier's trusted officer to kill the flag, more than 40,000 people began to attack the northern army led by Dimurier.
Fatis, who was well-known for his great righteousness and was filled with many veterans, was defeated by the general without even sending the hundreds of sharpshooters given to him by Li Wei to the front line, and the general's morale was sluggish. The former army in northwestern France, which often turned against him, was defeated...
Di Murier never dreamed that under the revolutionary trend, his team would be so fragile!
He clearly eliminated many revolutionary officers, why did he still suffer such a result?
The only thing Dimurier could do was to run away to the next Austrian barracks with his confidant guards before Fatis's troops came to him.
The Austrian army of the Austrian Netherlands did not expect that so many troops under Dimurier would collapse or even turn against each other in such a short period of time!
As a result, there was no time to support it. By the time the Austrian army sent its main force to attack, Fatis had completed the reorganization of the defeated army.
At this time, Fatis, even without the authorization of the Paris Revolutionary Government, became the veritable commander of the Northern Army.
Of course, these troops who were willing to obey Fatis' orders were mainly because they were determined to revolution. If the Paris Revolutionary Government sent people to take over Fatis' position at this time, these people would not continue to follow Fatis.
Fatis also knew this very well. He adhered to the mentality of not being my soldier and not feeling sorry for his death. He passionately accused the atrocities of the Austrian army in front of the army, boosted morale, and sent them to attack the positions of the Austrian army.
Fatis's full-scale attack shocked the commander of the Austrian army. He even wondered if Fatis had any grudge against Austria for killing his father...
