In fact, many of the measures mentioned by Joseph have already been implemented, such as various entertainment industries and various selections - from the "Paris Rose" selection in which the female characters of various nightclubs participate, to the "Prometheus Award" that affects the world. Various sports activities, such as the tennis tournament in Paris, have begun in various communities.

The Ministries of Truth also developed the "Rules of the French Tennis Competition" and made a silver-plated gold medal to be awarded to the tennis champions of various Parisian communities.

Tennis was originally very popular in all walks of life in France (of course, a big reason why this thing was popular was because the main purpose of this thing was gambling), and because it involved gambling, tennis also caused a lot of trouble, and then the Bourbon dynasty simply came to a one-size-fits-all approach and banned tennis directly.

But banning tennis doesn't mean gambling, and there are many ways to gamble. What's more, although gambling often leads to small things, on the other hand, there are very few big turmoil that directly leads to it. On the contrary, in a sense, it is a kind of ** happiness that can relieve stress.

So after Napoleon came to power, the ban on tennis was abolished, and with the guidance of the Ministry of Truth, the project is even more prosperous today than it was when it was mainly used as a means of gambling. And the general development of community competitions and inter-community competitions is also more effective as a ** music.

As for gambling, gambling is not a good thing, but it still has a certain effect, especially in terms of entertainment. However, it must be standardized, and it must be carried out in accordance with the principles of moderation and openness and transparency. To put it more clearly, that is, there can be gambling on tennis, but casinos on tennis gambling can only be managed by the state. To put it more bluntly, it can only be done through the Ministry of Truth's tennis lottery.

In addition to tennis, the Ministry of Truth has introduced a new "soccer rules" and is preparing for a community soccer match. And this has become the abuse of the football league in later generations.

Of course, the most important event today is the Olympic Games. The Olympic flame has already arrived in England here, and the other way should be on the way back from North America.

After another ten days, the returning flame from North America also arrived in Spain.

The ship stayed in Spain for a day to learn about the relay on the other side, so that it could adjust its pace so that both sides could reach Paris at the same time. By the way, I also replenished some supplies. After completing its supplies, it continued eastward, and two days later reached Marseille. At this time, another flame also left England.

The relay of the flame was slower in France than in other countries, where it usually passed only through important cities or even just the capital. But in France, the flame is a bend, running from town to town, even in small towns with only a few thousand people. And every town you visit, there will be a lively parade that lasts all day. In this way, the speed of the flame was naturally slowed down.

At this time, the media also focused on the relay. For example, where the flame was relayed, the local climate, and what happened during the relay. Of course, the focus of each newspaper is different. Scientific Pravda naturally focuses on the local people's celebration of the flame, Kommersant focuses on local products and possible business, and The Sun focuses on the events that took place during the relay (all of which are fabricated, of course). But everyone knows that the things in the Sun can only be seen)

In this way, it was naturally very time-consuming, so it took more than two months for the two flames to gradually approach Paris. At this time, His Holiness the Pope also left Rome with a large delegation and sailed to Paris.

The French Navy sent a special fleet to escort His Holiness the Pope. Escorted by the fleet, went ashore in Marseille. Lucien, Minister of Truth of France, presided over a grand welcoming ceremony in Marseille to welcome the distinguished guest and present to His Holiness the Pope a gift from the French people to the Holy See – a marble statue of the Assumption.

Then the Pope and his entourage, accompanied by Lucien, took a special train all the way north to Paris. The First Consul of France met with His Holiness and his entourage, and the two had cordial and friendly talks on the development of Catholicism in the world, as well as on other issues of common interest.

During the talks, Napoleon welcomed the Holy See and his delegation to France for the first modern Olympic Games, to be held in Paris. He told the Pope that achieving peace throughout the world is the most consistent act of Christ, and that the Olympic Games are the embodiment of that spirit. The arrival of the Pope is also a testament to the fact that the Holy See is true to Christendom in the spirit of Christ. France is willing to work hand in hand with the Holy See to promote the spread of Catholicism throughout the world.

The Pope, on the other hand, spoke highly of Napoleon's piety and compared him to Charlemagne. He also highly praised the great contribution of France to the Catholic world. He said that just as Charlemagne was inspired by God to become the sword and shield of the Catholic Church, he believed that Napoleon and his subordinates would become the protectors and propagators of the Catholic Church, just as Charlemagne and the twelve paladins did. The inseparable traditional friendship between France and the Holy See will be further strengthened.

After the talks, the Pope visited Notre Dame Cathedral, the largest Catholic church in Paris. For some time to come, until the end of the Olympic Games, the next papal crown will stay here. It was here that he presided over the ceremony of blessing the French Republic and received the audience of bishops from all over France. Of course, this is just a formality, and the church in France is basically independent. Although they recognized the Pope as a spiritual leader, they were limited to spiritual leaders.

Moreover, in fact, the doctrine of the French Church is in many respects clearly different from that of the Holy See, and the difference between them is even greater than that between the Anglican Church and the Holy See. But everyone tacitly ignores these differences, acting as if everyone is really close.

On the third day after His Holiness the Pope arrived in Paris, both flames returned to Paris. On May 30, 1804, the two flames met in front of the Panthéon, and the carnival began throughout Paris.

The torch relay takes place in Paris on a community basis. On this day, the police department set up several roads in Paris as pedestrian paths, with horse-drawn carriages off-limiting. A large number of mounted police were dispatched to maintain order. The flame passed through the neighborhoods of Paris in a fairly orderly manner, and did not appear in the stampede that had recently occurred in British cities due to crowds.

It took a whole day for the flame to complete its relay through the city of Paris and begin to race in relay to the finish line, the main venue of the Games. More than 1,000 citizens followed the flame to the main venue by horse-drawn carriage, horseback and on foot. Of course, those enthusiastic youths who followed on foot were basically quickly thrown off by the flame of the relay state.

At that time, the young Mari-Henri Bell was also in the group that followed on foot. He had just retired from the cavalry with the rank of second lieutenant and entered the Ecole Polytechnique in Paris, where he was going to work as an engineer after graduation. On this day, he ran with his fanatical classmates with the torch until he ran out of strength, and then had to stop.

Looking at the fading flame, a weary Mali bent down, gasped for breath and cried out: "O great France, please wait for your people......"

But the torch didn't stop, and neither did France, running faster than the relay torch. At this time, Napoleon, a large group of high-ranking officials, and visiting popes had already arrived at the main venue on Napoleon's special train to prepare for the opening ceremony of the first modern Olympic Games. If it weren't for Mali's classmates coming from behind with a rented carriage, Mali would have missed the opening ceremony. Although he couldn't get a ticket, he could only watch with a telescope on the high ground outside the venue.

The opening ceremony was held on the evening of June 1, and the timing was chosen for the following reasons:

First of all, at night, it is more able to demonstrate French lighting technology. At the beginning, the Moulin Rouge used to creatively decorate itself with various lights. Nowadays, there are more developments in lighting technology, although it is still far from the future, but in this era, the French can already use lighting to make the main venue as beautiful as a dream.

In addition to the light show, there are also indispensable fireworks. A year ago, the laboratories of the University of Paris carried out a systematic study of the flame color reaction in order to invent a new method for the analysis of metallic minerals. And this research, in the laboratories of the military-industrial complex, turned into all sorts of flares. Then, after the technology related to signal flares was civilianized, it became all kinds of fireworks. With the support of these technologies, France's fireworks technology today can basically be said to be the first in Europe. And these things, too, need to make the opening ceremony take place at night.

The opening ceremony began with the leader's speech.

The first is Napoleon's speech. Napoleon first expressed his wishes for world peace and praised the Olympic spirit, and called on all the participants to uphold the spirit of "friendship first, competition second" and compete in style and level in the competition.

Finally, Napoleon stated:

The true meaning of the Olympic spirit lies in the pursuit of people-oriented, self-transcendence and self-improvement. "Every athlete will show their superb skills, burst out the passion of participation, and create the glory they want in a fair competition environment.

The important mission of the Paris Olympic Games is to promote cultural exchanges between countries around the world, and we sincerely hope that the Chinese nation's long history and culture, vibrant cities and rural areas, and hospitable people can leave good memories for our friends. ”

After Napoleon's speech, the Pope presided over the blessing ceremony for the Games.

After the long and tedious prayer ceremony, it is time for the various performances of the opening ceremony. Because of the pollution from the future, these performances naturally turned into various large-scale group gymnastics displays. And in the eyes of people in this era, this kind of large-scale group gymnastics performance seems to be a demonstration of some kind of military ability. After all, the strict line-up tactics have not been completely abandoned by some countries.

The first group of gymnastics is, of course, focused on the history of the ancient Olympic Games. In this way, of course, there will be a lot of pagan things in this group of exercises, but everyone, including the Pope, ignores all of them.

At first it was a parody of the ancient Greek Olympics, but later there were various parades of the Roman Empire, crowds, carriages and even a few elephants (brought from the Turks).

Then there's the part that expresses modern France. The participants in the group gymnastics spelled out the French national motto: "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity" by constantly changing formations, and at a moment spelled out the slogan of the Olympic Games, "Science, Progress, Peace".

After the group gymnastics performance, it is time for athletes from all over the world to enter the ceremony. As the host, the French delegation was the first to enter, followed by the other countries in alphabetical order. After the entrance ceremony, it was the athletes' representatives who spoke. Then, amid cheers, a torchbearer entered the stadium with the torch held alof.

Upon entering the stadium, the torchbearer lit the torch in the hands of the first torchbearer dressed as an ancient Greek scholar waiting on the track. The torchbearer then lifted the torch and ran forward waving to everyone, showing them the Moulin Rouge logo painted on his clothes. The spectators in the stands cheered together, and according to the previous training, they quickly set off a wave of people.

The torchbearer had only run less than 100 meters, and there was another torchbearer dressed as an ancient Greek warrior waiting for him in front of him - being a torchbearer in the main venue was something that could go home and blow for a lifetime, so many people were about to break their heads in order to compete for this spot. In the end, the problem was solved by auction, and it is said that each of the five torchbearers in the venue spent an average of 50,000 francs for it.

The second torchbearer, also running, showed the shield in his hand, which was painted with the logo of the company and the slogan of the company: "Guarantee you can trust".

The third torchbearer, the fourth and fifth, were dressed up as various ancient figures, and they all showed the advertisements of a certain company in various ways.

The fifth torchbearer ran under the cauldron with the torch, where Polina, dressed as Artemis (goddess of the hunt), was waiting with a bow and arrow.

Because Artemis is the goddess of hunting, she often needs to run in the forest, and in order to make it easier to run in the forest, Artemis's outfit is quite cool. Like most Greek (Roman) goddesses, her blouse has no sleeves, which allows her two white arms to be fully revealed. But the skirts of the Greek goddesses were generally very long, covering the top of the feet. Even Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, is naked in common sculptures, but her skirt is still long enough to drag to the ground. Artemis, on the other hand, had a short skirt that even exposed her knees, allowing her snow-white calves to be fully exposed. In this era, such a dress is really a bit "shocking" or even "unconventional". But Polina didn't care about any of that. Anyway, there are more accusations against her, and a little more, it's not a big deal.

It is said that after this Olympics, inspired by Polina's outfit, many women in some profession began to imitate Artemis, starting with the Moulin Rouge. Considering Artemis' priesthood, this is almost like a travesty. In particular, the conservative British newspapers and some Austrian newspapers were scathing in attack on the trend led by Polina. Polina's response, however, was to immediately launch a new line of "Chrissy" women's sleeveless skirt hunting suits – although this "hunting suit" was not necessarily perfect for hunting. (Except, of course, when hunting a particular kind of prey.) ）

The arrow of the bow in Polina's hand was tied to a cloth soaked in oil. She held the arrow to the torch, and it burst into flames.

Polina drew her bow and aimed at the cauldron not far away, then hurled the flaming arrow towards the cauldron. As the rocket fell, the cauldron filled with fuel was lit and burst into flames.

As the cauldron was lit, Beethoven's "March of the Olympic Games" was played, and various fireworks were launched, and the entire sky was filled with a variety of fireworks.

Fireworks are such a thing, even in later generations, they can intoxicate the viewer, especially at this time. And the fireworks used by the French this time far exceeded other fireworks before them. These fireworks are fired into the sky with specially made cannons, each of which weighs far more than the ones people are used to, and uses the latest timed fuses, so there are almost no duds. The cannons were fired in such a way that they could be shot at higher heights, so that more people, including those who could not buy tickets, could only watch through telescopes outside the venue, or even farther away.

"It's so beautiful!" Looking at the splendid flowers, Beethoven said to his student Czerny, "Czerny, do you have a pen and paper with you?" I'm inspired again! ”

The splendid fireworks display lasted for almost half an hour, and the opening ceremony ended with this rumbling salute and colorful salute.
