My favorite Napoleon quote is this one:
"You cannot stop me, I spend 30,000 men a month."
I'm just curious as to what the context of this quote is. Where was he/who was he talking too. Can anyone help me out with this?
"You cannot stop me," he warned the Austrian statesman Metternich, "I can spend 30,000 men a month". During the Napoleonic wars. One of Napoleon's major adversaries was Metternich. Metternich later restored Europe to "pre Napoleon" boundaries and systems during the congress of Vienna.
