In the city of Nanjing in June, the sun is blazing.

The French embassy in Beijing closed at the end of May, and the tricolor flag was lowered over Nanjing. Perrier was removed from all public office in China by the new Parisian government, even though the decree was signed by Louis XVI.

François-Philippe Perrier ended his mark in the history of Sino-French diplomacy, but he and many other members of the embassy did not set out for France, but stayed in Nanjing or Shanghai.

In the later history of French diplomacy, François-Philippe Perrière is a figure who is often mentioned, his personal friendship with Chen Han Taizu, and his good friendship with the founding heroes of Chen Han have made many European diplomats in later generations envious. Of course, that's all for later.

The current Perrière, after scolding Pierre, who wanted to get back together, lived alone in the Roche Manor at the foot of Qixia Mountain.

Perrier's ouster has also set off a wave of waves in Chinese politics.

"What's so surprising about that?" Chen Ming was not surprised at all by the decision of the Paris government, what kind of unbelievable decision could not be made when the revolution was rushing.

Even though it was the Girondists who now held power in Paris, not the Jacobins who advocated radical policies and terror and oppression, this was the news that reached Chen Ming at the end of April. Although the French Revolution was delayed, it eventually broke out.

The funds of 50 million Chinese dollars did not save Louis XVI, and even the European Office could not verify whose hands the 50 million Chinese dollars of gold and silver ended up. Is it Louis XVI, or someone else?

Although the time of the Paris uprising was different from the day in Chen Ming's memory, it was time to come. The revolt of the citizens of Paris overthrew the 200-year autocratic rule of the Bourbons in France.

It can be said that today's France is like a wild horse that has escaped the reins, running madly and blindly towards the "monument" of the "constitutional monarchy".

However, within the Girondists who held power, there were many factions and fierce struggles. Outside, there are also powerful opposition parties led by Robespierre, and no one knows how many people will be burned and burned by the fierce sparks that erupt once the latter erupts.

- During the short period of Jacobin rule, people were sent to the guillotine in line every day. Let the guillotine become a symbol of the politics of terror and violence.

Except for Chen Ming, a traverser.

……

France's wild horse is losing its mind, and with the royal political tendencies that Perrier has shown over the years, it is not surprising that Paris will remove him from all his duties. Neither the Girondins, who tried to hold the reins to subdue France, nor the Jacobins, who kept whipping France to make it faster, did not allow Perrière, a member of the royal party, to occupy the post of ambassador to China.

They would rather close the French embassy in China first than kick Perrier out.

When the news of the French Revolution reached Nanjing, it immediately caused an uproar among Chen Han's elites. Everyone is amazed by their emperor, and look, the emperor's 'prophecy' is becoming a reality step by step.

They have a visionary and forward-looking leader.

Countless people began to have strong confidence in Chen Ming's next prediction - the great earthquake and war that lasted for decades in the whole of Europe led by the French political turmoil.

But no one knew that their emperor was looking at the map of Europe at this time.

His butterfly fluffled its wings, and the hurricane that rolled up seemed too violent. Not only did it delay the French Revolution by more than a month and end the North American Revolutionary War a year late, but the traditional mode of warfare - platoon shooting, is a thing of the past. In this way, how else could Napoleon rise as he did in history?

Historically, Napoleon's rise relied on artillery. He is very talented in mathematics, so he is also very handy at playing with cannons, and can always use his limited firepower to an extraordinary level.

But can he still play with rockets like this now?

Can he still rise as quickly as he did in history, and then fight on the battlefield, alone in Europe, majestic and invincible?

Chen Ming was very skeptical.

The French capital, although strong, was not enough for them to single out the whole of Europe.

Unless Chen Ming popularizes the Mini rifle, skips the cap gun, and directly makes a breakthrough innovation in the individual weapons in the hands of the soldiers of this era. Relying on the Minnie rifle's ultra-long range of 900 yards, the effective range of more than 500 yards, and the high accuracy of shooting, the individual weapon in the soldier's hand also has the ability to threaten rocketeers and rocket crews.

The Wehrmacht is now starting to use snipers against rockets, that's the truth.

In the history of the original plane, the Mini rifle can be said to be the first weapon with overwhelming power in human history, although it was born at an opportune time, almost at the same time as it was equipped with troops, the era of breech guns also came. So, it's also a very sad weapon.

But in this day and age, the era of breech guns is still far away. With the strength of Chen Han and the country, focusing on the research and development of breech guns, over the years, a lot of progress has been made, and two sample guns have been made according to the concept of needle guns provided by Emperor Chen.

However, the back doors of both sample guns were not tightly sealed, which not only leaked air, but also threatened to burn the shooter's cheeks and eyes. The quality of the needle and spring is not up to par, the black powder cannot be completely burned, the smoke is large, and there is still residue left in the barrel, which greatly affects the life of the barrel, and the poor practicality is always a big problem.

The overall performance of the sample gun is very poor, the firing range is not as far as the Mini rifle, the accuracy is half a pound and eight taels under the premise that the breech gun does not consider the burns of the eyes and cheeks, and there is no big advantage, the shooting life is even shorter, and the high cost of a single gun makes people have a toothache. Even in the lab, this is not a successful rifle, let alone a mass-produced armament unit.

Therefore, the mature version of the Mini rifle, as long as it is taken out, is definitely a world-changing mode of war. And it can last quite a while!

In the past, the flintlock front-loading smoothbore gun had a short effective range, only 100 yards at its farthest, and the range of grapeshot and shrapnel fired by artillery far exceeded it, so that artillery became the dominant weapon at that time. Even after the rocket is ejected on the battlefield, the long-range range of the cannon is always a great advantage, and now countries around the world are concentrating on the research of explosive bombs.

The sheer power of rockets has convinced everyone of the promise of 'explosive bombs', and solid shells have been recognized by the global military community as something destined to be abandoned.

The effective range of the Mini rifle is at least 500 yards, which is far longer than the range of grapeshot and shrapnel fired by artillery, and even less than rockets. In this way, the tactics on the battlefield have naturally changed dramatically. Artillery had to be retreated to the back of the infantry, and from the previous 'machine gun' as a front-line weapon, it became a support weapon, not an offensive weapon.

Although the Wehrmacht had long been accustomed to putting artillery behind the infantry line.

Field artillery is counted in the range of the rifle, and the artillery, its front wagon, and the horses are quite large targets, and the accurate infantry can shoot at artillery targets at distances outside the range of the rocket.

Chen Ming really couldn't imagine how Napoleon, in the era of front-loading smoothbore guns, swept across Europe and achieved his reputation as a god of war in the face of rockets, an unreasonable weapon.

And if he lets out the treasure like the Mini rifle, will it be possible for the war mode to change back to offensive warfare? In this way, the war is no longer a trench war and a war of attrition, and after Napoleon's rise as expected, there are still two points that can sweep across the continent. Otherwise, trench warfare and a war of attrition would have squeezed out the last penny of France, and it would not take 1814 at all to bring France down in its entirety.

It's just that the influence of the French Revolution is weakened, and it is certainly possible to bring down France, a continental power. The Gallic rooster in history, this chaos is a full twenty-five years, and now Chen Ming can't say how many days France can mess up.

But I believe that Paris now must be full of passion.

And as long as Paris is in chaos, and China can take advantage of France's lack of time to swallow the whole of Louisian, it will be good.

After being emperor for so many years, Chen Ming's personality has changed to a certain extent. Since he has such ambitions, Chen Ming must also have the determination and confidence to single-handedly challenge the whole of Europe.

To dominate the world and dominate the earth, war is the best way to seize the 'crown', and iron and fire are the strongest cornerstones to lay the supreme position.

It's true.

As China grew stronger, and as Chen Ming became emperor for longer and longer, his confidence grew.

In the beginning, he regarded individual powers such as Britain, France, Prussia, and Russia as a rival. But now, Russia and Prussia alone have long been out of his sights. France is also worth noting, Britain is worth a little vigilance, I don't know when, what he sees in his eyes is the whole of Europe!

If there will still be chaos in Europe, then he will not be embarrassed to take the opportunity to seize the Americas, Chen Ming is a little more relaxed. And if Europe is not in chaos, China will single-handedly pick up the whole of Europe and directly shatter all the pride of the white race, which is not impossible!

Chen Ming then gave Perrière the title of state adviser, and it has been a month now, and he has only summoned him twice. It's all about France. For example, the lives of Jacques-Pierre Brissot, the Marquis de Condorcet, Mr. and Mrs. Roland, Pierre-Victoñão Venio, Marguerite-Elie Gardet, Armand Jeansoné and others.

Even if the European Office and the Military Intelligence Bureau have collected a lot of information in France, some secrets in aristocratic circles are not easy for them to hear.

Although Perrier has not returned to China for many years, and his personal political position is not the same as that of these people, he must have uninterrupted contact with the country, and it is hard to guarantee that he will not know about these people.
