Chapter 137: Taking Out the Remaining Opposition

After meeting with the directors of the Directory, Napoleon left the room and stepped out of the Tuileries Palace, his mind racing with thoughts. He couldn't help but admit that there was a hiccup in the plan. The fact that Moulin and Gohier didn't resign posed a challenge to their carefully laid-out scheme. However, he knew that in matters of coup and political upheaval, nothing ever went exactly as planned.

While Napoleon's military assets were being covertly positioned throughout Paris, discreetly executing their roles in the unfolding coup, officers kept a watchful eye on the Ministry of War. They aimed to prevent any interference from the suspected opposition, War Minister Dubois-Crancé.
