Napoleon's speech again provoked a round of cheers. If Napoleon was the one who turned France from a republic into an empire, as he did in history. Maybe a lot of people will have some ideas.

In the original history, when Napoleon became emperor, many students in the École Supérieure des École des É Napoleon was very unhappy with this, and accused the headmaster of Monge, for not managing his students well. And Monge, an old Bonapartist, retorted: "It is entirely because you have deceived them." And old republicans like Xiang Kano simply resigned.

And abroad, Napoleon's move to become emperor made him even more disheartened. Before Napoleon became emperor, France was in Europe, and that was the real beacon. Any foreigner with a little conscience will not hesitate to side with France in the contradictions between the feudal princes of his country and France. The common people, who were struggling under feudal oppression, saw France as their liberator. Italians, Poles, Germans, Norsemen all served in the French army as volunteers, fighting to defend democracy and freedom.

But with Napoleon's proclamation to the throne, the left-wing forces throughout Europe felt deceived and betrayed. Since then, the war between France and other nations has increasingly changed from a war between the third estate against the feudal kings to a war between the French nation and other peoples.

But this time, things are different. Although Napoleon still became an emperor, this emperor was not the emperor of France, but an emperor of "Rome" that did not exist in reality, but only existed in ideas. In such a situation, this crown is actually not much different from the "Order of Imperador" in everyone's eyes. What's more, Napoleon also put the title of First Consul in front of the title of Emperor in his speech. Besides, the title of emperor of Rome itself has a certain republican color.

So at this time Napoleon was proclaimed emperor in this way, and almost everyone cheered for him.

An hour later, Scientific Pravda, Kommersant and The Sun all published side stories.

The headline of Scientific Pravda read: "Long live the People's Emperor!" The headline of the Kommersant newspaper was: "Long live the Emperor of the Romans!" The headline of The Sun read: "God Signs: Roman Orthodoxy in France"

Although there are a few people who are still worried about whether Napoleon will further erode France's democratic system, in the eyes of most people, Napoleon's current performance is the embodiment of his high demeanor.

The next day, His Majesty Poleon Bonaparte, Emperor of the Roman Empire, First Consul of the French Republic, was interviewed by the correspondent of Scientific Pravda. In the interview, Napoleon once again assured the journalist of his loyalty to democracy, and more systematically recounted his understanding and thinking about the "emperor of the Romans". He told reporters that since he was already "Emperor of the Romans", it was natural that he could legally grant the status of "Roman citizens" or even "Roman nobles" to those who had contributed to the progress of mankind.

"The Legion of Honor is an honour for France alone, generally awarded only to the French, but Roman citizens and Roman nobility are honours for the whole world. It can be awarded to people of all countries who have contributed to the progress of humanity. Napoleon also explained the meaning of "Roman citizen" in this way.

On the third day, the French State Council convened an emergency meeting and adopted a resolution to congratulate His Excellency the First Consul of France, as well as His Majesty Napoleon Bonaparte, "Emperor of the Romans". At the same time, the resolution proposed that France set aside land near Paris and give it to the Roman Empire, suggesting that the area around the Olympic Games be selected as territory for the Roman Empire. and recommended that His Excellency the First Consul, Poleon Bonaparte, send the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Talleyrand, to meet with the representatives sent by France and His Majesty the Roman Emperor Poleon Bonaparte, and to conclude a permanent treaty of alliances.

After this proposal, which was unanimously adopted, the State Department quickly put forward a new proposal, proposing that France and the Roman Empire should enter into a complete free trade, complete mutual exemption from customs duties, that each side should grant full national treatment to the other, and that dual citizenship and dual allegiance should be granted to France and the Roman Empire, as well as an agreement on the responsibility of France to protect the security of the Roman Empire.

This proposal was swiftly adopted. But the first proposal ran into obstacles with Bonaparte the First Consul and Napoleon the Great. Bonaparte's consuls believed that the cession of land was a traitor, even if it was directed against the great Roman Empire. His Majesty the Emperor Napoleon, on the other hand, believed that the Roman Empire, as a friendly neighbor of the French Republic, also had self-esteem, and this self-esteem did not allow him to take advantage of the simple feelings of the French people towards the Roman Empire. Therefore, he suggested that some plots of land could be purchased from the French government at market prices by way of territory sales and purchases, and the Roman Empire could pay for them.

The Bonaparte Consuls and His Majesty Napoleon's statement fully demonstrated their nobility and dignity, and the members of the State Council were deeply moved, so they quickly referred to the advice of His Excellency the First Consul and His Majesty the Roman Emperor, revised the first proposal, and quickly adopted it, and submitted it to the Council for Salvation for review.

The Senate, as well as the Legislative Yuan and the Senate behind it, completed the review of the two drafts with astonishing efficiency and submitted them to the First Consul for approval.

This time, the Bonaparte government did not disagree again and ratified the agreement. He also sent Foreign Minister Talleyrand to hold talks with the Elder Talleyrand, who had just been recognized as a "Roman noble" (Roman nobles were often the senators of the Senate), and finally signed a series of documents.

These include the Treaty of Amity and Mutual Assistance between the French Republic and the Roman Empire, the Treaty of Amity, Commerce and Navigation between the French Republic and the Roman Empire, and the Treaty on the Acquisition and Delimitation of Territory between the French Republic and the Roman Empire.

The supreme leaders of the two countries, His Excellency Bonaparte, First Consul of the French Republic, and His Majesty Napoleon, Emperor of the Roman Empire, signed these treaties on behalf of their respective governments. Thus was announced the conclusion of a comprehensive strategic partnership between the French Republic and the Roman Empire.

A month later, in the original square of the Palazzo Liberty, His Majesty Napoleon officially proclaimed the establishment of the imperial government of the Roman Empire. Almost all of the French governors were given the nobility of the Roman Empire and held corresponding positions in the Roman government. So much so that almost all the officials of the Roman Empire were officials of the French Republic. Even the president of the Academy of Sciences is no exception. Of course, because the Roman Empire was founded and was not financially rich, the officials of the Roman Empire did not have salaries to pay.
