Anning sighed, indeed, the discussion had turned to this matter again.
After deciding to reuse Talleyrand and FouchE, Anning had anticipated that Robespierre would object.
From the beginning, Anning didn't expect to simply sway Robespierre with his reputation; he was seriously prepared with his arguments.
Now, it was time to present these arguments and test their effects.
Anning spoke earnestly: "Maximilien, I…"
Robespierre interrupted Anning: "I know you must have prepared seemingly very reasonable arguments; you always plan meticulously."
Anning hadn't expected to inadvertently receive flattery from Robespierre. Since when had I become someone who plans meticulously?
This was coming from Robespierre, who never compliments anyone, and surely he didn't mean any flattery. In his view, Anning was a meticulous strategist, a reincarnation of Zhuge Liang—well, Robespierre probably doesn't know who Zhuge Liang is.
