"Yes, Your Majesty!."

After hearing Jérôme Bonaparte's order to **** the warship, Admiral Dicko, after hesitating for a moment, responded with a firm tone.

Jérôme Bonaparte cast a glance at Dicko and ended the game by putting the last ball in the hole. Then, together with Dicko, they took out all the billiards from the net while placing the **** in the tripod. , while asking Dicko: "What were you hesitating just now?"

"Your Majesty, I was just thinking that according to the provisions of the Treaty of London, all warships are prohibited from passing through the D'Artagnan Strait. We may cause some conflicts by doing so!" Dicko told Jerome Bonaparte about his own concern.

"According to the treaty, warships in the D'Artagnan Strait are indeed not allowed!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded in agreement with Dicko's words, and then smiled lightly: "But this treaty is now only suitable for ships of the Russian Empire. , you forgot that the British kingdom also broke into the vicinity of D'Artagnan two years ago, and even threatened Greece with naval guns!"

After Jerome Bonaparte's reminder, Dicko remembered a series of actions by Britain in the D'Artagnan in 1850. Due to the reckless behavior of the British Kingdom at that time, Britain and France cut off communication, and France turned to Russia.

Having secured all the billiards, Jérôme Bonaparte then put the two billiard cues back in their original positions, raised **** and said to Dicko: "The Mediterranean already has two naval powers, and There is no need for a third naval power. The so-called Treaty of London is nothing more than to limit the right of the Russian Empire to enter the Mediterranean Sea, which is what Nicholas I should have thought of when he signed the treaty.

Powerful countries do not need to be bound by any constraints, and all treaty sponsoring countries will use the treaty to serve their own country. Unless the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Empire can overcome the French and British fleets, the Treaty of London will only limit them unilaterally!

If the Russian Empire doesn't like it, they can use their own power to break this rule! "

Dicko quickly understood what Jerome Bonaparte meant. In the end, all the agreements were just choices based on strength.

"Okay! It's time for me to leave too! I'll leave the matter of the warship to you!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Dicko, as he took off his coat from the hanger and put it on On the body.

Dicko and Jérôme Bonaparte left the Navy Club together. After they walked out of the Navy, they took two carriages parked at the door and left in different directions.

Jerome Bonaparte, who returned to the Tuileries Palace, is ready to devote himself to intense work. Compared with his sloppy cousin in history, Jerome Bonaparte clearly understands how to be an excellent leader.

Before he actually threw himself into work, he also took a sneak peek at Virnia, who was studying.

In mid-April 1852, Valette was given the title of Ambassador of France to Constantinople and was about to go to Constantinople to replace the previous ambassador.

When Valette arrived at the port of Marseille from Paris, a steam battleship with 90 guns appeared in the port, which was the means of transportation for Valette to go to Constantinople.

Under the eyes of Vallet and all the crowd watching the lively port, a small boat was slowly placed on the sea from the steam battleship.

The navy crew on the small boat gently rowed the wooden oars, and with the familiar skills of the crew, the wooden oars lightly moved, and the boat floated away.

The boat approached the port of Marseille, and the crew standing on the boat shouted the name "Vallette".

Valette quickly emerged from the crowd and waved to the crew, who quickly brought the boat closer to Valette.

In this way, Valette, who was in a small boat, got on the battleship that went to Constantinople to report his duties.

The propeller at the bottom of the steam battleship was slowly started under the strong push of the steam, and gradually disappeared from the sight of people.

The day after Valette left Paris for Constantinople to serve as ambassador, William I, the regent of the Kingdom of Prussia (Frederick William IV was unable to manage due to mental problems) declared to the public, "Welcome the French Empire to the European family. ".

This means that France has been accepted by two first-class powers, and only two countries, Russia and Prussia, have not recognized France.

After the Regent of the Kingdom of Prussia recognized the French Empire as a brother of the monarchy, the Austrian Empire, which had been quarreling with the French Empire, finally reached an agreement. The nobles, who were afraid that Prussia would gain the favor of France, decided not to insist anymore. At Lanz's behest, Felix Schwarzenberg, Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Austrian Empire, recognized the establishment of the French Empire and welcomed Bonaparte's "brother" on behalf of his monarch.

The Russian Empire suddenly discovered that the pace of the British, Prussian, and Austrian countries and the Russian Empire gradually became inconsistent.

The Holy Alliance seemed to be on the verge of crumbling, and Nicholas I, who was aware of the crisis in the Russian Empire, sent people to Prussia and Austria to allow their attitude, while quietly sending ambassadors to the French Empire, ready to repair relations at any time.

Poor Vladimirovich made a mistake. He expected Tsar Nicholas I's hatred for the French Empire, but he did not expect the change in the attitude of the Kingdom of Prussia and the Empire of Austria to the French Empire.

A few months ago, he was the darling of Tsar Nicholas I, who became Nicholas I's scapegoat, taking on the scapegoat of the Russian Empire and the French Empire.

At the same time, Karl Necherrodie, who was idle at home, ushered in his own spring once again.

At the suggestion of Karl Necherroddie, Nicholas I decided to repair the broken diplomatic relations with the French Empire.

Repair is repaired. Nicholas I was not persuaded by Karl Nescher Roddy on the issue of title. He has always believed in the "crown bestowed by heaven" with orthodox principles and religion in his mind, and Napoleon III was just the "untouchable crown". ' cried and put it on his head.

How could someone like Jerome Bonaparte be compared with their orthodox monarchs.

Therefore, on the issue of title, Nicholas I still adhered to his own opinion and used "friend" to represent his disdain for Jerome Bonaparte.

This move by Nicholas I succeeded in angering some members of the Bonapartists (such as Pessini), who joined forces with members of the Army Department who wanted to suspend some reforms by war.

Jérôme Bonaparte was not influenced by Pessini and continued to proceed step by step.

Fighting against the Russian Empire is something that must be done, but only after the arrangement of the French Empire is over.

Therefore, Jerome Bonaparte once again called Niel, who was in charge of the reform of the barracks, to ask him about the progress of the reform of the barracks.

"Your Majesty! Up to now, we have basically completed the transformation of the military depot in the Seine Province, and the military depot has basically resumed the function of conscription!" Niel reported to Jerome Bonaparte about the situation of the military depot one by one: " There are also nearly 10,000 veterans who are not eligible for annual service and have been properly placed... Each military station is equipped with some officers to ensure that the recruitment can continue..."

Under Niel's drastic reforms, the First Military District of the Seine Department retire a total of 11,468 soldiers, including 11,000 ordinary soldiers who have exceeded their age and 468 lower-ranking officers.

It can be said to be a veritable army meat grinder.

At the same time, nearly 20,000 soldiers and more than 600 military academy graduates were incorporated into the First Military District of Senna.

Although these soldiers and officers were very young, they greatly enhanced the active ability of the French army and eliminated some of their vices.

The average age of the military region has also dropped from the original 40s to around 35 now.

Although combat effectiveness has declined, discipline has steadily increased.

The army of the Seine province has also changed from 60,000 people to the current army of more than 70,000 and nearly 80,000 people.

It can be said that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

The Strasbourg Military District has also evacuated more than 6,000 soldiers and more than 300 military commanders, and is expected to continue to remove some soldiers with bad habits.

However, the Strasbourg area does not have the convenience of Paris in terms of officer replenishment, and many officer gaps must wait for the deployment of the personnel department of the Ministry of War. It is precisely for this reason that Regnault's reforms are not as good as Nière's. you.

"You did a great job!" Jerome Bonaparte, who had heard Nier's report, got up and patted Nier's shoulder with a smile and encouraged him, "We strive to keep it up, there are still several military regions waiting for us to reform! "

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Niel responded forcefully.

After Niel left~www.novelhall.com~Jérôme Bonaparte called again the head of the President's Military Secretary Office, his adjutant Major General Leboeuf.

"Sit down!" Jerome Bonaparte stretched out his hand to invite Leboeuf to sit down and asked, "How is the situation in the secretaries' hall?"

"Your Majesty, the Secretariat is under your leadership..." Leboeuf touted Jerome Bonaparte vigorously.

"Don't talk too much nonsense, how far have you done your surveys in the Near East!" Jerome Bonaparte interrupted Leboeuf forcefully.

Leboeuf said with a serious face: "The Office of the Secretary has completed the survey of the terrain of the Near East, and has drawn a topographic map of the Near East!"

"Can I have a look at the topographic map!" Jerome Bonaparte asked Leboeuf.

"Please wait a moment!" Leboeuf got up and left the study.

After waiting for more than twenty minutes in the study alone, Jerome Bonaparte finally came to Leboeuf.

At this time, Leboeuf was holding the blueprint drawn by the secretary's office.
