the french got so excited that they opened a portal to hell because of the sheer massacre commited and then charged into it to double tap their enemies
@Magoose, which Marshal did Napoleon want leading the Vanguard for that conquest again? Sounds like a fun sequel, go from historical fiction to Salvation War fanfic.

Depends on how bad off the Ottomans are right now. "The Sick Man of Europe" can still kick our teeth in if they get their divisions sorted out temporarily. The endemic problems are probably more outside our wheelhouse, but we can help or hinder what's to come.
I kinda want to enforce that we frown upon civilian casualties tho, it will cause more problems down the line if we do not make a distinction between civilian and military targets, even more, if we are going to Egypt, where our lifeline might as well be how good we get along with the locals.

And if Parsha suddenly but inevitably betrays us to his bosses in Constantinople or decides its bets to kick the shit out of Christians in the Balkins and whatnot.

I am moderately worried Sicily has become this for us
If Anyone else where in Power in France we'd very likely be basically Caesar in Gaul right now with very few options outside of either pulling a Rubicon, starting out own nation, or letting ourselves be completely screwed over. Even now I'm a bit worried because only two of the three Consuls are in our corner. That's good but that doesn't make us immune to political intrigue.
Egypt Has me worried because if we just go home it will be another example of us just doing what we want, if we invade we might freak Europe out and spark a new Coalition War and that's if we win,if we ask to not invade it will alarm our enemies as it might give them the impression we can do whatever we want because we got our brother and Napoleon's support. Every way forward has risks.
That's assuming of course our stomp doesn't spark a new conflict just from the old powers of Europe shitting themselves in fear.
All of Europe, for good and ill, is wondering what the hell you are going to do, and that... for the most part, you have done literally everything right, formed a new way of organization for the army, have a corp of officers who are insanely good and experienced in independent command or supporting our efforts.
They will either study you closely, or choose to ignore you.

Well, even if we are in the metaphorical rubicon, our bro and future husband wish to see that we remain alive and well, meaning we've got the chance to start the Empire Early, much to Brian's Cringe.
In saying that, if the government tries to kill us for any crimes that we didn't commit in Sicily or potentially in Egypt, it will make brian lose all faith in Republicanism, and fly right into the Napoleon "Lets throw some Lawyers in the River" Camp.
Brian may be a revolutionary and a republican, but there are some things that would make him lose faith, even in something he believed in so strongly, like the revolution.
When do we get the chance to improve our charisma and oratory? I have an increasing feeling with each post that we will need it rather sooner than later.

Should be relatively straight forward: if they don't make peace he only needs to threaten them with us. Either they make peace with France before God above or they make their peace with God in person.

This has potential. A nation of soldiers for soldiers. Someplace Outside Heaven, one could say.....
"I won't scatter your sorrow to the heartless sea. I will always be with you. Plant your roots in me. I won't see you end as ashes. You're all diamonds. We'll make diamonds from their ashes, take them into battle with us. We are Diamond Dogs Frenchmen."
