Jerome Bonaparte and Fitzroy James Henry Somerset (the full name of Baron Raglan), the old and the young stared at each other for a long time, and neither of them spoke first. In a word, time and space seem to freeze in the hall of the Tuileries Palace.

From the body of Baron Raglan, Jerome Bonaparte seemed to "see" the epitome of the previous era, an era of strife, an era of golden horses!

And on Jerome Bonaparte, Baron Raglan felt a vigor and aura that could not be concealed as a careerist.

If Count Raglan were to name a guy who was most likely to become a powerful enemy of the Kingdom of Great Britain in the future, then it would definitely be the guy in front of him who was surrounded by many generals and dignitaries like the stars holding the moon.

That little guy Albert may be about to shoot himself in the foot!

Baron Raglan couldn't help complaining about Albert in his heart. Obviously, he heard from someone about the deal behind the royal family and Jérôme Bonaparte.

However, Lord Raglan was relieved in an instant. He was seventy-five years old anyway, and I am afraid that he will not see the day when France surpasses Britain.

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and the younger generation is not good enough. The older generation can't climb out of the grave to teach the children and grandchildren!

Thinking of this, Baron Raglan's attitude towards Jerome Bonaparte also changed slightly, he stepped forward and stopped just a few steps away from Jerome Bonaparte, bowed and saluted Said: "Merciful Your Majesty, on behalf of the British Army, I would like to express my high gratitude to you and your army for helping us in times of crisis! May the friendship between the French Empire and the British Kingdom last forever!"

It turned out that while Lord Raglan was waiting for Jerome Bonaparte to summon him, Jerome Bonaparte had already received a telegram from the Embassy of Constantinople.

Wallewski claimed that Britain garrisoned at Gallipoli was suffering from severe cold weather, with non-combat attrition increasing daily.

Canning, the British ambassador, came to the embassy to ask him for help. They hoped that the French Empire could help the Kingdom of Britain out of the predicament.

At the same time, it is implied that as long as the British Kingdom is successfully rescued, the British Kingdom will give the French Empire some "special offers", including but not limited to discounting the British bonds held by France in order to maintain the domestic financial environment of the French Empire.

But the corresponding requirement is that the French Empire cannot take the initiative to report this action.

After all, the Kingdom of Britain is also a country that wants face. If you lose your money, you can't lose your face.

After receiving the conditions, Wallevsky immediately sent a telegram to Paris, and Jérôme Bonaparte, who received the telegram, couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity.

Unexpectedly, the first "battle" of the French Empire in the Near East was not the Ottoman army of Chi Yuan Silistra, but to "rescue" teammates who were also imperialist powers.

The actions of the British Kingdom on the Gallipoli Peninsula made Jerome Bonaparte think of the "Italian Kingdom" that will be known as a pig teammate in the future.

However, Jerome Bonaparte carefully considered the record of the British Kingdom, and found that they basically did not fight any decent countries except for a dozen African natives and the Far East.

This time, if it wasn't for Jerome Bonaparte's need to break the shackles imposed by the Holy Alliance on France, with Britain's own strength, it would be very difficult to end the battle in a short period of time.

However, the Kingdom of Great Britain must be able to win the war.

In general, as a "pit" teammate second only to the Kingdom of Italy, the Kingdom of Great Britain is stronger than the Kingdom of Italy in terms of money. As long as you have money, there is nothing you can't do. (Except a certain Middle Eastern tyrant in later generations)

Don't look at the fact that the British Kingdom's army is not as powerful as the French army, but the cost of each soldier in the British Kingdom is equivalent to one and a half French Empire soldiers.

On the premise of having sufficient food and wages, the British Kingdom only needs to fight steadily to eliminate opponents weaker than him.

Then again, adhering to the concept of being a **** without taking advantage of it, Jerome Bonaparte immediately let Vallewski take full responsibility for the docking work.

Subsequently, another telegram was sent to the headquarters in Rhodes Island, ordering them to prepare 20,000 people's weapons and equipment as soon as possible for the British Kingdom to choose.

The British army, who had left their luggage behind, would have to wait two to three months to gather equipment without relying on the French Empire.

After all, the Kingdom of Britain has not yet begun to mobilize, and the new legion formed still needs equipment.

After everything was arranged, Jerome Bonaparte "heartedly" told Ambassador Cowley what happened to the British army, and informed Ambassador Cowley that on February 1, Baron Raglan would be invited to see him.

This is the scene of Baron Raglan's gratitude.

"It's nothing, the French army and the British army should assist each other in the fight against the enemy of the free world, the Russian Rus Empire! Fight for the peace of the free world!" Jerome Bonaparte said righteously.

"That's right! We are fighting for the freedom of the Balkan nations!" Baron Raglan echoed without feeling ashamed.

After a short conversation, Jerome Bonaparte shook hands with Baron Raglan cordially, and at the same time smiled and encouraged the adjutant behind Baron Raglan to learn from Baron Raglan, a general who was skilled in fighting.

Hearing Jerome Bonaparte's touted Baron Raglan, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his hatred for Jerome Bonaparte was less.

Baron Raglan, who has a higher military rank, has also accepted War Minister Kuzan Montauban and Deputy Chief of General Staff Niel (Jerome Bonaparte feels that Nier's rights and rank are not comparable. In particular, the post of Deputy Chief of General Staff was increased), the commander of Strasbourg, Marshal Reigno, and others shook hands.

However, when he shook hands with Marshal Reigno, Baron Raglan had a little unpleasantness with him.

The reason for this is because Lord Raglan, who rose in the symbolic period of Napoleon, believed that Reigno, who had no outstanding military achievements, was just a flattering person and was not eligible for the rank of marshal at all.

Therefore, he looked down on Reigno, and he was also full of disdain for Marshal Saint Arnault, the chief of the general staff who commanded the French army in the Near East.

After the meeting was over, the political dignitaries left, leaving only Jerome Bonaparte and his generals in the hall of the Tuileries Palace, as well as the Baron Raglan who had come from afar.

Then Jerome Bonaparte invited Baron Raglan and his adjutants to the battle room inside the Tuileries Palace. He would discuss with Baron Raglan in detail about the recent actions of the Russian Empire in the Near East.

With a critical attitude, Baron Raglan agreed to Jérôme Bonaparte's invitation, and the group entered the combat conference room transformed from the reception room.

Baron Raglan, who entered the conference room, saw the map of the Near East hanging on the wall. This map was more detailed than the map he found in his travel notes. Said to be a perfect military map.

Baron Raglan, who saw this map, could not help but restrain his contempt.

In any case, the French War Department is at least more responsible on the military map than the British Kingdom.

Thinking of this, Raglan was even more convinced that the British and French forces would win.

Lord Raglan, who was sitting under the stage, looked at Niel, the deputy chief of staff on the stage, who was in charge of explaining. He couldn't help but feel a little sad. The Director of Logistics (Ordnance) is a position he held only last year.

It can be said that if it were not for this war, Raglan would probably never have the opportunity to serve as the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force in his life.

A subtle jealousy surged into Baron Raglan.

As the keynote speaker, Niel took a deep breath and forgot to glance at the general in the audience. He did not know how much preparation he had done and how many times he had flipped through the map after he taught this lesson.

Niel began to explain the deployment of the Russian Empire~www.novelhall.com~ According to our information, the Russian army now located in the Danube region has been divided into three parts, one of which is located in the Silistra fortress, which is also The largest army in Russia! A month ago, this huge army besieged Silistra day and night, and almost broke it a few times! However, the Omar troops stationed here pushed them back with tenacious fighting spirit. Perhaps because of the heavy casualties, the army stopped attacking two weeks ago! Switch to a defensive stance! "

While speaking, Niel put his hand on the Fortress of Rouse and continued: "This is Rouse, second only to the Fortress of Silistra, since the Russian Empire began to attack! The army here has never been anything. Moving, I guess they want to use Ruse to contain the Ottoman Empire! And the third part is also the troops located in the northeast of the Danube. They should be specially deployed in order to prepare for a possible surprise attack by the Austrian Empire! In short, the Russian Empire can be said to be attacking everywhere in the Near East, but it cannot form an advantageous situation in every place! Therefore, our suggestion is to reinforce the defending troops of Silistra with a small number of troops, and use the powerful British and French troops. Fleet Destruction Point leads the navy in the port of Odessa, and then uses the landing force to log in to try to cut off the supplies of the Russian Empire on the Danube!

If you can't log in to Odessa, we can also consider logging in to the Sevastopol fortress! "

After speaking, Niel glanced at the audience.

Jerome Bonaparte, sitting beside Baron Raglan, asked Baron Raglan what he thought in a low voice. Click to download this site APP, massive novels, free to read!
