This is something that I've thought of before, and it does interest me in what could have happened had Hoche lived. Reading up on Hoche, lots of people speculate that he would've been the perfect sword Sieyes was looking for as he did show that he wasn't afraid to get his hands dirty during the Coup of Fructidor (Though he wasn't really all that successful).
What would you guys think would've happened had Hoche lived past his expiration date? Would he have been happy with Sieyes' rather complicated plan for a constitution? Would he have done as good of a job as Napoleon did in winning the War of the Second Coalition?
