Today is yet another beautiful day
for France and it is all thanks to the wonderful Napoleon. I was finally able to meet him the other day
and I have to say that I was astounded, he carries himself with such poise and
you can see the power radiating from him, I am surprised that he does not
already run France. I know that we are
supposed to be democratic and free now, but if there was ever someone who was
meant to lead I would say that Napoleon is that person. He has done so much for France, but today he
did even more. Today is the day that a
treaty has been signed between Austrian’s monarchy and France, signed for
France by Napoleon and Count Philipp von Cobenzl. I don’t know much
about the Count, other than that he is a family friend of my brother’s wife’s
family, but I still salute him all the same.
Thanks to the treaty that was signed today, France has finally seen an
expansion of its borders. This bodes so
well for us, we can hopefully now spread the idea of freedom and natural rights
to more people. I know that the way has
been hard and there are still moments when I fear for my life and the lives of
my brother and his family, but I do not think we were wrong as a people for
overthrowing our King. He did not
respect us or care about our well being and I know this is an opinion that I am
not supposed to have as my entire social status was ripped away the moment that
he was removed from the throne and ultimately lost his head, but I do feel that
it was good in the long run. Without him
we wouldn’t know what freedom was or why we wanted it and I think that message should
be given the chance to spread to other nations, to England and Spain and all
others that still have their monarchies.
But, for today our win as France is gaining land from Austria and
reaching a moment of peace between us, Austria, and the Roman Empire that is
still just barely holding on. I am glad
to say that I am a Frenchman in this time and I can’t wait to see what it is
that Napoleon does next for France. I
hope we go further and don’t look back, we are France and we should be able to
show others that we are not to be toyed with.
Napoleon is the first good thing to happen to us since our King lost his
head.
