The news of Napoleon's proclamation as emperor naturally caused great repercussions abroad.

When they got the news, almost all eyes were on Vienna. Many people believe that even if the Habsburgs did not dare to declare war on the French, at least the relations between the two countries would inevitably suffer.

Vienna also held a press conference to make its attitude clear to the world. They made two points to the reporters:

First, the Holy See declared unjust to deprive His Majesty Emperor Franz of the title of "Emperor of the Romans". It is therefore also illegal and invalid. There is no doubt that the Holy Roman Empire is Roman legitimacy.

Secondly, His Majesty the Kaiser Franz believed that friendly relations between Austria and the French Republic would not be affected by this contingency. The two countries have remained friendly neighbors for generations.

Thirdly, Austria congratulates France on the successful hosting of the first modern Olympic Games. At the same time, Austria believes that Vienna will be the best choice for the next Olympic Games. The Austrian Olympic Poker Committee has sent an invitation to the National Olympic Committees, including the French Olympic Committee, to come together in Vienna to discuss the idea of a unified IOC.

"What? The Austrians just held back? "A lot of people who wanted to see the joke were taken aback. It was also a great disappointment to those in Austria who had some expectations. But considering the previous game of the Austrians and the French to lure the snake out of the hole, it is not surprising that this situation is now occurring. Because the upper echelons of these two countries have actually colluded together a long time ago. Besides, there are many problems in Austria, and at this time, for the sake of a hat, His Majesty Franz is not really crazy.

As for other countries, well, the attitude of the Russians is basically two sentences, the first is: what is my business? The second sentence is: Those guys in Western Rome really know how to play. And to be honest, the Russians were quite satisfied that the French chose the crown of Western Rome and did not take out the crown of Eastern Rome. You know, when King François I formed an alliance with the infidels, he spent money to buy back the crown of Eastern Rome from the infidels.

Of course, it is also said that the real Eastern Roman crown was lost on the battlefield. King François I bought nothing more than a counterfeit made by the Turks, and it was a crudely made fake, because the crown jewels were counterfeited from stained glass.

Of course, some people say that this is a sign that this thing may really be real. Because before the last days of Byzantium, in order to raise as much military expenses as possible, Emperor Constantine XI had already pried off his crown jewels and sold them to the Venetians. So this crown, which is covered with stained glass, could really be an authentic Eastern Roman crown.

In any case, the orthodoxy of Eastern Rome is still in Russia anyway.

As for the gangs in Italy and the Rhine, of course, they all congratulated one by one, especially when they learned that the French had sold a small piece of land near Paris to the Roman Empire as the capital of the Roman Empire, "New Rome", and sent envoys one after another, hoping to establish diplomatic relations with the Roman Empire. The nobles of the Roman Empire, the senator of the Senate, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Roman Empire, Talleyrand, were so busy that they couldn't touch the ground. (Although it was very easy to establish diplomatic relations with the Roman Empire, as long as they changed the sign of their diplomatic mission in France, of course, the foreign affairs of the Roman Empire in them were basically represented by the French diplomatic service.) He is said to have complained: "It makes it difficult for me to carry out my duties as Minister of Foreign Affairs of the French Republic." However, some people close to him said privately that Foreign Minister Talleyrand was very happy, although he was very busy, because the busier he was, the more he had a chance to make money, and secondly, because he had finally become a nobleman again.

Yes, a whole bunch of people who supported the republic, and who themselves held positions in a republic, all of a sudden had the title of nobility. The only thing that is not very satisfying is that the aristocratic system of the Roman Empire is too simple, there is no rank of princes and princes, there is only one nobleman, at most plus a cavalry who cannot even be counted as a nobleman. But it's a nobility anyway.

For example, the generals under Napoleon all became Roman nobles and senators. As for Emperor Napoleon's own relatives, of course, they also became aristocrats. Napoleon himself was Augustus, Joseph became Caesar, Lucien added the title of tribune, and even Polina became a princess.

And the British, on the other side of the sea, also congratulated Napoleon on his coronation as "Emperor of the Romans". But they did not immediately send diplomats to establish diplomatic relations with the "Roman Empire".

As for the folk, it's basically a lot of applause, at least on the European continent. However, in Britain, the situation is slightly different, and some British newspapers sour ridicule Napoleon for wanting to be emperor but not daring to undermine democracy, and having a thief's heart but not a thief's guts. But most, at least the big newspapers, don't make such noise.

After the proclamation of the emperor, Napoleon became busier, because he needed to deal with the affairs of two countries at this time, although the affairs of the Roman Empire were actually quite limited, but there were many times when he needed to show up and pretend to be 13, and Napoleon enjoyed the feeling of pretending to be 13 very much, so he was naturally very busy.

While Napoleon was busy dressing 13, the emissaries of Sultan Selim III had just returned from the Barbary states. The emissaries of Sultan Selim III, of course, went to ask Barbary's Pasha to come to Istanbul to worship the supreme sultan.

This is also a common thing. Almost every few years, Sultan Selim III sent someone to summon them. And those Pasha usually happen to be sick or something, and they just can't go to Istanbul. In the end, it is usually a few Pasha who offer a small gift, send an envoy with him, and go to Istanbul to apologize to His Majesty the Supreme Sultan, and then nothing happens. For a long time, in the eyes of those Pasha in Barbary, this is almost the autumn wind that must be fought every year on the Sultan's side.

But when their envoys arrived in Istanbul, something went wrong. Because the Sultan was busy, the emissaries had to wait a few days in Istanbul before they could see His Majesty the Supreme Sultan. This is also the norm, so these messengers can also play here.

However, I don't know how, His Majesty the Sultan suddenly summoned these messengers, and it turned out that two of them were drunk! You must know that in the Star Moon Holy Sect, abstinence from alcohol is a very important precept, and its severity is far greater than eating some kind of artiodactyl. What's worse is that these two messengers who drank too much, perhaps because they were drunk, actually said that the Pasha were not sick, but they were too lazy to pay attention to the sultan who often came to fight the autumn wind. He even made wild remarks, accusing Turkey of not being worthy of being the leader of the Star and Moon world.

Of course, all of the above is said by the Sudanese. As for those envoys, well, in the palace of His Majesty the Sultan, can they still be kept alive if they speak such inferior words, of course, they were beheaded on the spot!

What, you say we're killing people, how is that possible? Didn't we leave a few messengers, but these messengers honestly admitted that the Pasha of Barbary were not pious and despised the Sultan's crimes. What, you say they were forced? Is it to succumb to the scimitar? Your mind is dangerous, young man......

In short, His Majesty the Sultan was very angry, but His Majesty was still merciful, and he again ordered that the Pasha of the Barbary States should come to Istanbul at once to set the record straight. But the Barbary Pasha once again rejected the Sultan's affection, and even spoke disrespectfully to the Sultan's envoys. Really, if even such offenses can be tolerated, then what is intolerable? His Majesty the Great Sultan then gave the order to crusade against the rebellion.

Just when the Pasha in Barbary were troubled by the conflict with the Sultan, the French came to the door again. The French, of course, came to the door because of the attack on the French ships by the Barbary pirates.

It had been months since this incident, and everyone thought that this was the end of it. But they did not want the families of the victims to go to Paris en masse to petition, they came to the ruling government to cry to Napoleon and the French people. According to them, they wanted to come a long time ago, but they didn't want to spoil the atmosphere of the Olympics, so they waited until today.

Napoleon was very moved by the victims' families' understanding of the righteousness and consideration of the overall situation. Napoleon, of course, expressed his sympathy to the families of the victims, and assured them in front of reporters that justice would be done for them.

"Anyone who dares to offend the people of France, no matter how far he runs, will surely be wiped out!" At that time, Napoleon said this to the families of the victims, to the media reporters.

Therefore, the French consuls in Barbary immediately issued an ultimatum to the Pashas, demanding that they immediately and unconditionally hand over the French crew and the murderers within three days. And when the Pasha declared that they would not be able to find the French crew in three days, and implied that they could have died long ago. The French consuls said unceremoniously: "If your Excellency's army cannot find the missing people, then let our French army find them." ”

After the ultimatum was submitted. The consulates immediately lowered the flagpole of the flagpole, and then all the personnel boarded the ship and left the Barbary states.

Almost immediately after the evacuation of the consuls, columns of smoke appeared on the sea.
