Napoleon's Reliance on Berthier and a financial contribution from Grand Duke Ferdinand III of Tus
https://youtu.be/Fl0oyzLSHBM
While Napoleon relied heavily on his trusted aide Louis-Alexandre Berthier, he also asserted his own capabilities. He dismissed rumors that suggested Berthier was solely responsible for his success, emphasizing that Berthier was not capable of commanding a battalion. However, it is worth noting that Napoleon later entrusted significant commands to Berthier, indicating that his initial statement was likely driven by concerns about public perception.
The British, who had previously engaged in trade with the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, were expelled from Livorno on June 27, and their merchandise valued at £12 million was seized. The Milan Citadel fell after a forty-eight-hour bombardment on June 29. In response, when the British seized the island of Elba on July 11, Napoleon acknowledged that they were merely following the example set by the French in violating neutrality. Napoleon also obtained a financial contribution from Grand Duke Ferdinand III of Tuscany, the younger brother of Emperor Francis, who had granted trading privileges to English merchants in Livorno.
