March 26th, 1797.
Napoleon returned to the city of Udine, the Army of Italy Headquarters. Upon his arrival to the city, he was welcomed warmly by the locals and the French troops who were waiting for the commander's return.
The army has been idle for three days, and the look on the soldier's faces showed that they are excited to march onward and drive out the Austrians completely.
In the headquarters palace, Napoleon saw Berthier sifting through documents and files, managing everything from logistics to intelligence reports. Berthier looked up from his desk, his tired eyes lighting up as he saw Napoleon enter the room.
"General Bonaparte, welcome back," Berthir said, standing up and extending his hand. "How was your trip in Paris, was it productive in any way?"
Napoleon shook Berthier's hand firmly and replied. "Yeah, I have just settled my business there. Anything interesting that transpired while I was gone?"
