Okay, boys and girls...

IOTL, the only decent leaders in the Directory were squeezed out, and by 1799 it was overthown and replaced by the Consulate, which marked the rise of Napoleon from general to national leader.

I am looking to get rid of the rot in the Directory, probably by having Barras, Rewbell, and La Révellière-Lépeaux removed, perhaps for plotting to entice the armies into supporting their plot for a coup d'état against Carnot and Barthélemy and their supporters.

The idea here is to eventually have the Directory reform and then the establishment of a functional Republic, and ideally with that serving as a model for the satellite republics of France in Italy, the Lowlands, etc.
