Who says soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers?

"Soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers" comes from Napoleon, the first French emperor. During Napoleon's rule in France, in order to improve the morale of the army and stimulate the combat efficiency of soldiers, Napoleon often said to soldiers that "soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers."

His original words were: "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a soldier who can't be a good soldier will never be a good general." Napoleon's original words meant to encourage soldiers to be ambitious and have ideals, but at the same time, they should be based on doing their jobs well, and they should not be idle or do things down to earth.

Napoleon's archives

Napoleon was crowned emperor on 1804, 165438+ 10, which turned the Republic into an empire. During his reign, he was called "French Emperor", the second French emperor to enjoy this title since Charles III.

Internally, he suppressed the rebellion of reactionary forces many times, promulgated the Napoleonic Code, improved the world legal system, and laid the social order of western capitalist countries. Five armies led by foreign countries broke the anti-French alliance composed of Britain, Germany, Austria, Russia and other countries, won more than 50 large-scale battles, dealt a heavy blow to the feudal system of European countries and defended the achievements of the French Revolution.

In the most glorious period, except Britain, all other European countries surrendered or formed an alliance with Napoleon. It formed a huge Napoleonic empire system and created a series of military and political miracles and short-lived brilliant achievements.
