Chapter 239: The Sub-Lieutenant of Corsica (Top recommendation, seeking everything!)

Here is your requested translation:

Lieutenant Buonaparte had only one thing on his mind—the orders issued earlier from Paris. During a riot, he could act without seeking the approval of his superior officers.

More importantly, if he could successfully suppress the riot before him, it might very well lead to his promotion.

He hailed from a humble noble family on Corsica. If nothing unexpected happened, lieutenant would likely be the pinnacle of his military career.

*He had to seize this opportunity, no matter what!*

He glanced at the frenzied rioters, tightening his grip on his sword hilt. *If only he had cannon here,* he thought to himself.

But their cannons were still in Valence, and the colonel certainly wouldn't approve of him dragging them into this town. Considering the colonel's ambivalent attitude toward the riot, he might not even endorse the Lieutenant's decision to suppress it.
