"It's this late? Oh, then let's do it in the morning."
...
Two days later.
An emergency Cabinet meeting was convened once again.
Marquis Saint Priest presented a thick stack of plans for reinforcing Tunisia to Queen Mary with great pride.
Seeing the Queen absentmindedly flipping through the military plan, he coughed lightly and started to explain the main content:
"Your Majesty, our plan is to send General Kellermann with 25,000 soldiers to Tunisia, and together with the existing 3,000 soldiers there, deploy our forces to control here, here, and here..."
As he spoke, he pointed to the map of Tunisia on the table, "After that, a mobile force will systematically clear all the major towns..."
Having briefly introduced the battle deployment, Marquis Saint Priest added:
"According to estimates, the initial cost of the entire military operation will be about 10 million livres. Additional funds will be allocated based on how the battle progresses."
