The delegation of the French Academy of Sciences, with Joseph at its core, was warmly welcomed at all Italian universities, especially Joseph's lectures, each of which was sold out. In this era, scientists seem to have the same traffic as entertainment stars. If you want to say that as long as you are a human being, there will always be some vanity, even Joseph, is not exempt from vulgarity, although he himself has been saying to himself in his head, "Don't love vanity", "You are actually played by Napoleon and the bad things of the Paris masters, what is there to be proud of" and the like, but the crowd and praise are still "really fragrant", especially when he is in the limelight, when the little girl slaps and shouts "Dad is amazing", even more so.

In addition, through his own means, Joseph also obtained Napoleon's paper, which was rated as "extremely important" and "extremely popular".

Joseph looked at it carefully and determined that it must have been ghostwritten by the gang of fellows from the Masters of Paris. The structure is rigorous, the arguments are rigorous and sufficient, and there are almost no loopholes to be found. Of course, it must be said that there is no problem at all, for example, some derivations are a bit too cumbersome, and therefore clunky and unaesthetic, but this is not a mistake after all. Overall, the paper does deserve those two adjectives.

Not to mention Joseph's public travel in Italy13, since Napoleon became a member of the Academy of Sciences, he naturally had to prepare to fulfill his promise. That is, he wanted to choose a queen for himself among the relatives of the sons of the Parisian masters.

However, Napoleon immediately discovered: "Laplace's niece is really ugly, Monge's granddaughter is not good-looking, and Lagrange's niece is okay, but unfortunately her waist is too thick, and she has caught up with her sister-in-law...... Still none of them come close to ......."

However, Napoleon, on the whole, was still a very trustworthy man, and he now chose an empress, not a mistress, as long as it was enough to be dignified. Besides, isn't the waist thin enough, strictly speaking, this is the Roman legacy, you see the goddess in those sculptures left in the Roman era, who meets the current standard of thin waist? And as the emperor of Rome, how can he not admire a Roman woman, but be influenced by barbarians and like thin-waisted bees?

After thinking about it this way, Napoleon found that Lagrange's niece and granddaughter were actually quite cute. Although in terms of appearance and demeanor, it is not as good as one of his mistresses, but it can be regarded as a middle-class talent, at least not like Laplace's niece. In addition, the little girl was very fond of Napoleon, which also made Napoleon feel good, so Napoleon began to date this girl named Lola frequently.

Joseph continued his travels in Italy, and when he came to the last stop of the trip, Naples, news came that the French had won a decisive victory in Morocco and captured the port of Dalbeda. (The previous text is wrong, at this time the city did not have an alias of Casablanca)

The capture of Dar Beida also meant that the war was almost over. France suffered limited losses in this war, especially with fewer dead. The main ones who died in the war were the enemies, and in addition to the enemies, on their own side, the Turks were the main ones who died, and as for the French, not many died.

But it's not that the French are cheating their teammates, at least, the Turks can't say that. For example, at the beginning of the attack, the Turks found that Morocco was much better prepared to resist the landing than in the first two places, and they learned the lessons of the first two places and carried out a comprehensive upgrade of the port defenses.

Barriers, and mines were set up in the harbor, as well as in the nearby sea area that was convenient for landing. Had it not been for the fact that the French had committed the nearest minesweepers, these mines alone would have cost the combined fleet huge losses, and most of these losses would have been paid by the Turks.

The minesweepers of the French were actually quite simple. This is a kind of punt boat. At sea, flat-bottomed boats are not very resistant to wind and waves, but relatively speaking, the draft is much shallower, which makes them less prone to hitting mines, especially at high tide.

The ship also carries a special device on it, a more primitive magnetic anomaly detector. When there are metal objects in the water, and these metal objects are within a certain distance, this thing can give a warning.

Then there is the minesweeping machinery of this kind of ship. Such a boat could lay something similar to that of a later trawl. It's just that instead of a net, the two cables pull a large blade similar to a scythe.

The thing was towed at a depth close to the bottom of the sea, and if there was an anchor mine underneath, the scythe would cut the cable underneath the anchor mine, and the anchor mine would surface. And once the anchor mine surfaced, it was easy to deal with it.

Of course, even if you sweep a few rounds like this, you can't guarantee that there will be no fish that slip through the net. For example, in this attack, several Turkish warships were still sunk by mines. But taking into account the more mines that the French swept out, the Turks also understood how many times their losses would have been greater without the support of their French allies.

After completing the attack near the port, it was the French marines who helped the Turks to open a safe passage in the minefield, and when the Turkish attacking forces were routed and the enemy took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, they blocked the enemy's counterattack and inflicted heavy casualties on the enemy.

And finally, the artillery of the French Navy. The offensive was broken off by using expensive high-explosive shells to destroy a vital bastion on a hill near Darbel. After that, the French took advantage of the temporary harbor and brought some cannons ashore and transported them into the fort, and then bombarded the city continuously. This broke down the city's defenses and played a decisive role in the Turks' eventual capture of the city.

Relying on these real merits, the Turks naturally can't say that the French are dead and poor. It was even necessary to cede more benefits to the French under the terms of the new agreement. After Barbary gained these footholds, France's control over the Mediterranean, while not comparable to that of the Roman Empire in its heyday, was much stronger than that of Athens or Carthage in its heyday.

With such a great victory, and the emancipation of so many Christians, the Holy See was even planning to canonize Napoleon. But an unexpected event interrupted the process.

When the news of the combined fleet's capture of Morocco came, the old Pope, Pius VI, was summoned by the Lord. It is said that when he was temporary, he said, "Now it's okay, I don't have to worry about the real God." ”
