Time turns, the winter of the twenty-eighth year of Chengtian.

It was almost midnight, and in a small courtyard of the London Office for Europe, a light was still on in a house.

Chen Zhan stretched out his arm and tensed his body to release the soreness of his body after sitting for a long time. The few pieces of letter paper in front of him were already full of words, and it seemed that it was not enough, so Chen Zhan turned a new page.

It is now the winter of the twenty-eighth year of Chengtian, that is, the year 1802 of the Western calendar. With war clouds in Europe and the contradictions between Britain and France on the verge of breaking out, another war seemed inevitable.

And the big things that Chen Han has been seeking for many years have come to the ripe time.

As Chen Han's highest power representative in Europe, Chen Zhan now has only one thing to do - to negotiate Louisiana with Napoleon.

As long as this matter is done well, Chen Zhan believes that his title will definitely go to the next level.

- There is no distinction between the kings of Chen Han and the kings, but the two-character king is generally considered to be inferior to the one-character king.

Chen Zhan has no ambition to compete for the throne, but he also doesn't want to go to the Americas with the title of 'King of Jieyang'.

At this time, a cup of tea was quietly handed to the table, Chen Zhan was stunned, and slowly turned around, only to see Dong He holding his beard and looking at what he had written. This letter was to be handed directly to Chen Ming, and the content was all discussed by Chen Zhan and Dong Huan.

After signing the Treaty of Amiens with the British, Napoleon had intended to focus on the Caribbean and North America, intending to continue to expand France's colonies overseas, because he knew very well that colonies were France's hope.

However, Napoleon's plans soon failed, and before the Treaty of Amiens could be written, the conflict between England and France became fierce again.

- Napoleon Bonaparte appointed Charles Leclerc as commander of the French Expeditionary Force, leading a fleet of 54 warships and 30,000 soldiers on an expedition to Santo Domingo [Haiti].

This gave France's influence in the Americas, which had been weakened to the extreme, a considerable recovery, but to no avail, as the Haitian black rebels were ensnared by the French at the head of the Dussaint Louvertur, and the black uprising in Haiti seemed to be at a low ebb. The British could not sit still, and they strongly supported the leaders of the rebel army, such as De Salin, Christophe, and Alexandre Pétion, which directly put the French expeditionary force led by Charles Leclerc in a difficult situation.

It is said that after Toussaint was ensnared by the French, the British thought that the black uprising in Haiti was going to fail, and hurriedly sent a large number of military supplies and ordnance to support it. Who expected their resilience to be so strong, to contain the defeat in just a few months, and to fight the French in embarrassment. As a result, the British now have to worry about whether the black slaves in their colonies will be encouraged.

But regardless of whether the British inflicted their own wounds or not, the British support for the Santo Domingo rebels could not escape the attention of the French at all, and the contradictions between Britain and France were not eased at all by the Treaty of Amiens.

Napoleon's original wishful thinking was to make peace with Britain in Europe and expand his influence in the Caribbean and North America, but now not only in the Caribbean, but also in the Mediterranean and the Balkans, the Anglo-French conflict is also escalating, and both Britain and France are breaking the peace treaty. And relations between Russia and France are also deteriorating. By the winter of 1802, a military conflict between France and Britain was almost inevitable, and even in the eyes of Chen Zhan and others, it was only a matter of time before Britain and France went to war again. Therefore, Chen Zhan 'thought' that Napoleon would abandon his idea of establishing a sphere of influence in the Western Hemisphere and concentrate on dealing with Britain.

Under such circumstances, Chen Zhan, Dong He and others all believed that Chen Han's opportunity to capture Louisiana had come.

"Haha, why is Master Dong not resting so late?" Chen Zhan put down his pen and picked up the teacup.

"The old man just got a piece of news, so I hurried to inform His Highness." Dong He said with a smile. In the past few years, he has cooperated very happily with Chen Zhan, who is not an unreasonable gentleman, which is the biggest blessing for the European Office.

"News has just come from Paris that Napoleon has decided to send an additional military delegation to the Indian region." In other words, Napoleon was a little dissatisfied with the progress of the restoration of French influence in India, and felt that the magnitude was too slow.

In the previous year, France had signed peace treaties with the Ottomans and then the British, and then set about rebuilding consulates in the countries on the eastern Mediterranean coast. The Ottoman Empire opened the Straits of the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles to France; France concluded treaties with Pasha in Tripoli and Bey in Tunisia; Not long ago, France had concluded a treaty with the Algerian governor-general, and French influence had extended into the Peloponnese and Serbia - a direct cause of the deterioration of Franco-Russian relations; Two months ago, General Sebastiani of France visited Tripoli, Egypt and Syria, where he established contacts with Pasha and Bey.

Now Napoleon is going to send people to India again, and Napoleon is going to do something.

"Napoleon was not a man of peace of mind."

As a celebrity of the Neo-Confucian Party, Dong He did not like people like Napoleon. Such people are born disruptors, challengers of order.

But he must also admit that this kind of person is definitely a hero in ten thousand.

The French Revolution, more than ten years of turbulence, how many heroes have been invincible? But those people all started from politics, and they also fell from politics and died in their families. Napoleon alone was the army that rose from war to victory, and victory in war was the surest guarantee for consolidating his power.

"London will not allow the French to continue to grow. Napoleon's victory over Vienna, victory over Berlin, conquest of Italy, such a France was already a behemoth in Europe. It is the greatest threat to the European hegemony that London has. ”

Therefore, the Anglo-French war was imminent. Unless Napoleon was willing to submit to England. But how is this possible?

Napoleon would never stop his war. Because he knows where his rights come from.

His roots were too shallow, his political base was too shallow, and under the traditional rule of Europe, he simply could not obtain such a position, so Napoleon's position was vacillating. And if we want to eliminate this 'vacillation', there is only war, and there is only victory.

Perhaps one day, when Napoleon's position was completely consolidated, he would abandon the war. But if that day does come, he will be the only voice left in Europe.

Napoleon's power depended on Napoleon's honor, and Napoleon's honor depended on Napoleon's victories. His power would be lost if it was not based on new honors and new victories. Winning the conquest led to the current Napoleon, the lifelong ruler of France. Yes, Napoleon took another step forward after his victory over Vienna, and he was no longer the first consul, but for life.

"Only victory in the conquest allowed Napoleon to maintain his present position."

In Dong He's mind, Napoleon, whom he disliked very much, was actually very similar to a certain person, but the political tradition of Europa was very different from that of China. The theory of descent, which has long been abandoned by China, has such a strong influence in this place.

Here, the grass dragon snake became a joke. It seems that you must have royal blood to become a king, and Napoleon is good to be a lifelong ruler, but if he wants to go one step further, it must be a huge challenge to the traditional political concept of Europe.

But there is no such restriction in the east, and from the moment Chen Sheng shouts 'The prince will have a kind of Xiangning', the hooligan can be the emperor, and the beggar can also sit in the dragon court.

What a resemblance of Napoleon to Emperor Chan of Middle-earth.

They are all able to fight well, and they all rely on war to gather talents, gather strength, and unite people's hearts step by step. Emperor Chen in the East has been sitting in the world for thirty years, and the Chen dynasty is rising like the sun. And where can Europe's Napoleon go in the future? No one knows.

War, war, non-stop war, non-stop victory. I think this thought has always prevailed in Napoleon's mind. Perhaps he himself kept dreaming of new wars, thinking of spreading the seeds of war all over Europe.

Napoleon often said to men: "In France, a new government must dazzle and make a splash, or it will fall in an insurrection." Many people know this sentence, and the European Office has known it for a long time. Dong Huan is not clear, in what kind of mentality did Napoleon say this, is it because of the political chaos in France after the Revolution? Or is it because of the desire to forge ahead?

Therefore, a man like Napoleon, who could not rest for a moment, would not sit in a peaceful environment for a long time and enjoy happiness, he was always preparing for war.

Now he wants to intervene in India, which will inevitably cause serious dissatisfaction among the British, because it seriously threatens British interests in India. The French already had a deep influence in the Marathas in Hydebara, and the modern army instructors of the Marathas have always been French. Needless to say, the Marathas were no less of a threat to the British than the Kingdom of Mysore.

The Marathas were powerful, but they were not as red as Mysore in England.

Chen Zhan's eyes were shining, and he didn't think it was a bad thing, at least for China.

For Chen Han, what is the greatest role of Napoleon itself? Isn't it just dragging the Europeans back? Doesn't it involve the energy of the British?

The more Napoleon danced, the more London had no time to care, and the more Europe as a whole had no time to care. That's good for China!

You must know that since the start of the Suez Canal project, a pair of eyes looking at Europe have been full of greed. Not only did the British take advantage of the South African affair to reach a secret agreement with China, but even Napoleon, after reaching a contract with the Ottoman Empire, couldn't wait to send people to Egypt and sent 2,000 new rifles to Ilam. What are these people going to do?

Then there are Austria, Spain, Portugal, and the small states of the Netherlands and Italy, which don't have good intentions.

When Chen Ming threw out the Suez Canal, why didn't he say that he wanted to hold the canal firmly in his hands? That's because of the backlash in Europe.

This lifeblood of the world connecting the East and the West was in the hands of the Ottoman Empire, and Westerners still had something to calculate; But if it is in Chen Han's hands, it will be difficult to say. And the Ottoman Empire might as well not have suffered a disaster without the Suez Canal, and now with such a little bit of reform and a little bit of recovery, it will really be able to compete with the Europeans in a few decades......

Chen Ming, well, Chen Ming's heart is very dark, he really doesn't want to see the Ottoman Empire continue to be strong.

It's good to develop like it is now.

Chen Han continued to strengthen his friendship with the Persian kingdom, and the existence of the Suez Canal would make European countries constantly play small calculations on the Ottoman Empire, such as a monotheistic country like Greece?

If the Ottoman Empire did not become Turkey, how could the Elam family establish their own dynasty in Egypt?

Compared to Istanbul, Ilam is more reliable.

And if tiny Egypt is to maintain its independence under the onslaught of European countries, the Elam family must also rely on China's support.

This is Chen Ming's somewhat sinister intentions, the Heavenly Plan - a general strategy. Reading, a better reading experience.
