From perspective of the Children he is a threat, but he is nothing new as Robb also was a tyrant and they are beginning to see it. Napoleon while potential threat and not zealous supporter of the republic is still necessary evil in their eyes because he is the one that stands between them and hordes of reactionary armies. Plus playing nice and legal can pay of now that elected officials actually have some authority and support in the heighest levels of the court .
The thing is, Napoleon did kinda see himself as a protector of the revolution, and the Republic.
Then Robe Spat on his efforts, tried to kill him, and otherwise make things difficult.
In his attempt to weaken Napoleon and cut of head of the snake Rob just made all Republican forces flock to their Empress , the pillar of the democracy and republic in France making Therese even more politically powerful.
Plus you know, killing children.
There are lines that a few people won't cross.
I suppose that means that he will leave most of internal affairs to the Legislative branch and Senate while he focuses on true thing that brought him glory , military . And also forgein politics.
Napoleon is at his heart,a general and millitary leader. While he is a brillent legal mind, and skilled administrator...
Basically the perfect Emperor. Now he's basically that, with a bit of... republican.
Ironically with this, by listening to his wife he truly did made himself into protector of the Revolution. He brought in much needed stability while still holding to principles of republic. Plus velvet hand makes it so that he isn't solely responsible for the France in case of bad times which lessens the need for Forgein adventurism to appease the base at home.
Well the thing is, he still might have to deal with counter revolutions, and other bullshit. Thankfully he won't need to be a full on autocrat.
Despot with a lot of power? Yes?
Unlimited Power?
No, not unless Napoleon needs it, and the Senate gives him it.
Very satisfying to see that my write-in achieved the desired result. The Children immediately backing off from violence and Roachpierre losing his handy source of radicals to throw at us is a pleasant surprise, but that velvet glove national spirit was the real prize of this mini-turn.
It could be worse...
It couldhave been even better.
A nat 100 could have done great things.
Indeed, now Nappy won't be forced to make rash moves, half of his actions were driven from his ambition, yes. But other half was there to maintain cult of personality on which he based his entire regime .
Now he can actually draw his legitimacy from the people in more peaceful way .
INB4 We turn France into an industreal super power.
