Due to Minister Saint Arno's personal supervision, the operation to capture the anti-Bonaparte faction generals progressed exceptionally smoothly. All opposing Bonaparte faction generals were detained, and the signs of division within the army were fundamentally nipped in the bud by Minister Saint Arno.
However, the operation to arrest other legislators was far from smooth compared to capturing generals. A portion of the legislators, upon receiving the news of the army's entry into the city, sensed trouble and quickly fled their homes during the unfamiliar vacuum period right after the army took over Paris.
Thanks to Jerome Bonaparte's previous "no killing" policy and the cover of night, the soldiers mistook these legislators for Parisians taking nighttime strolls, which gave them a chance to escape.
