Alright...since I am feeling VERY spiteful against ol' Robby right now, I'm gonna write a whole bunch of Omakes and cash them in at juuust the right Moment to utterly ruin that Bastards day!

(So much effort wasted in Egypte).
Invasions getting delayed always happens, plus if we are successful in Russia we can always invade Egypt together.

Ok, everyone, army splitting is an option. I say we take the bulk of our forces back to France and settle our accounts with Rob, and the rest go to... uhm. Russia, or Egypt. And honestly, I'd vote for Egypt.

Anyone interested in seeing the 1793 Constitution at work?

Same with the Civil registry, before the revolution, the control of the church was near-total on birth and death registry...... it made the non-Catholique a non-being in the french administration

I'd vote for Rome.
Of course, we give them Orders to NOT sack the City, if they can. Just..."convince" the Pope that excommunicating an entire Army over such a trivial Matter while in reach of said Army is a dumb thing to do.

Hell, the revolution was a great thing for religious minorities in general, Saint-André, a former Protestant minister, became one of the most important folks in the republic when he was chosen as a member of the Committee of Public Safety. Let's also not forget what it did for the Jews as well, gave them equal rights rather early.

Now playing in Nappy head
In fact, Revolutionary and later Napoleonic France was noted for it's very lenient and fair treatment of Jews in a time of rampant Antisemitism in Europe.

So general concensous is to return home.
My thinking is we settle accounts at home then split our army. One part follows us into Russia while the other pays a "Friendly visit" to Rome. If possible, we should have Brian lead it if only for our own piece of mind.
Depending on how the situation looks by then, we can lead a two pronged attack into Egypt with Russian aid.

And here we see Robespierre killing the idea of the French Republic in his quest to "save" the French Republic. Robe is really letting that grudge of his against Napoleon and, to a lesser extent, Brian for couping him control him instead of thinking rationally, by hastily trying to coup Napoleon instead of taking a slower route and getting people to warm up more to the idea of Robespierre being in charge again and painting Nappy as not being that good of a ruler. Yes, Robby may have the advantage against Nappy (and perhaps Robe will still be favored by the dice), but the second Therese and her army returns, he will realize that he's going to be in for a hard time, and that any victory he may earn is going to be hard fought at best.
I was talking about charging Robespierre, not Louis.
Yes very much this. Davout sounds like the perfect guy for the job to "convince" the Pope and making a new Republic.
Mine too, frankly.
Oh well, my personal Opinion of historical Nappy could always be summarized with the Phrase 'VIVE L'EMPEREUR!!!' anyways.

And to say nothing about Alexander Dumas, one of our very competent hands in this whole affair of us being... well, everything.
Yeah, but he also fell in line that slavery was a good thing camp, which is a big no-no here.
Here's hoping we can convince him otherwise.
I mean people have done things way worse, for less noble reasons, for less cause then mere hatred of his political enemies.
Looking at you Cromwell.
And Petain.
Lets just also make sure Chamans is on his best behavior.

The French army was noted to be one of the more anti-clerical institutions in the country, hell, a whole lot of the officers were atheists or at least anti-religious. So this might provoke some of that anti-religious feelings to come boiling out of the surface.

Which is one of the things that makes Brian and Therese odd.
They are good Catholics.

Again, constitutional clergy?
He apparently also later wrote that Slavery was a Barbarity after Haiti was lost to France in OTL. Take that as you will. The Man was complex, complicated and certainly controversial. However, I still believe he's the best Option for France, as long as we can help him take on a better path.

Once again, its a possibility.
Well, he proboly did that because there was no place else for such a barbaric slave system could continue.
After all, Haiti was the sugar plantation of the French for decades.

No, I meant, what they think of the constitutional clergy? Did they approve of the idea of priests swearing an oath to the country instead of the pope?
And since Haiti is currently doing pretty well while still being loyal to France, he may not see it as necessary to reinstate Slavery for it to remain profitable for France. Who knows? That Issue may not even come up.

Oh they see that as an absolute win.
Though they are still a little off-put by the concept of the Pope not being the man in charge, but I think they see it as a win, and like it.
Except the USA, but let's not go there.
...And, well, in this Verse, the Americans kicked Slavery in the curb where it belongs almost a Century early. So, good on them.
