After settling Balas in the most luxurious hotel in Milan, Anning and his officers gathered in Anning's study to discuss the latest domestic intelligence brought by Balas.
Napoleon spoke first, "It looks like the situation at home is more complicated than we thought! Why don't we give up on Italy and head back to Paris, like Cromwell did?"
Just as Anning was about to answer, Lazar Kano asked, "So, when the domestic situation is unstable, do we side with the Royalists or the republicans?"
Everyone looked at Lazar Kano.
In fact, Anning had casually talked about his future plans and his stance while chatting with his officers, so those who had been campaigning with him knew his inclinations.
Especially Napoleon, Anning has always shown himself to be a staunch Republican since the Briena era.
