Forgot to say on the last dispatch but I really appreciate the improvement in audio quality.

It’s fun going through the narrative at this pace. Right now if you didn’t read ahead it really does seem impossible that Napoleon won’t be ruling most of Europe for the next few decades.

As an organizational theorist I am fascinated by Napoleon’s decision to “reorganize” in the midst of a hot campaign. He shook up the org that had clearly become comfortable and complacent in leadership roles, then mixed up teams to shake up siloed leadership and workforce complacency as well. This is an excellent example of modern crisis management for faltering organizations. That is in use today. Incredible natural leadership skills to understand this. Amazing. Thanks for illustrating this so well.

Oh man, I love to see my Emperor striking back, taking charge, and kicking ass again :) Seeing Napoleon himself take charge of the previous mess was a nice change of pace. I know it doesn’t end this way in the long run…but this was a cathartic episode lol.

If only it wasn’t for that traitor Talleyrand maybe things would be a bit different, or maybe not :/ Either way, he certainly poisoned Alexander I and Napoleon against one another and should have lost his head for it, alas.

Did I hear you correctly - that the French marched 90 miles or 144 kms a day to get across Europe to Spain. I’m like…that’s literally not possible! Or I assume they were carried by horse and cart?

I dunno - Imperial over reach was becoming pretty evident. Spain was a largely unjustified adventure motivated by greed for power.
