He was adversely advised by his consultants as it was of a great risk and no one had attempted it earlier. It would have sustained heavy loss of men and machines. But he decided to go by his decision. His aides and opponents criticized him in same voice and call a decision of madness and recklessness. To their utter surprise Napoleon reached Messina well in time almost two months earlier. Some of napoleons critics say that nothing is great in this act and Pass of St. Bernard may have been conquered had earlier been attempted. May be; but Napoleon's greatness lie in his initiative and strength of his will and determination.
