While the Spaniards celebrated their victory, the French people also celebrated their victory. French President Charles Murphy. Louis. Napoleon. Bonaparte, the 39-year-old president, was in the square outside the Élysée Palace, receiving cheers and congratulations from the French people.

After the collapse of the First French Empire, France's status declined sharply, and it fought a small Algeria for more than ten years, not to mention the loss of troops, but also the huge consumption. France's old rival, England, is already expanding rapidly. France has been left far behind by the British, which makes the French people of insight very worried. If this continues, will France have a future?

The French people also need a hero to lead them to a better life. At this time, Charles. Louis. Napoleon. The appearance of Bonaparte undoubtedly echoed the image of the hero in the minds of the people, who hoped that Charles. Louis. Napoleon. Bonaparte was able to lead France to glory like his uncle, Napoleon the Great. That's why the Charles. The reason why Bonaparte was able to become president of the French Second Republic.

Now, the French Navy has strangled the main force of the US Navy lightly, which can be regarded as a good explanation to the French people. The populace rejoiced, and it seemed that they had seen the imminent revival of France.

"Long live Napoleon! Long live the president! The excited crowd cheered loudly. Shire. President Bonaparte smiled when he heard the cheers of the people. This qiē. Isn't that exactly what he wants to see? He wanted not only to be the president of France, but also to be the emperor of the French Empire, like his uncle. Build a powerful empire.

It's just that, compared to Napoleon the Great, who saved France from danger, Charles. Bonaparte's prestige was much worse. He hoped that this victory in the battle against the United States would raise his prestige to a higher level. When the time comes, he can use this to claim the title of emperor.

The victory of the navy plunged the whole of France into a sea of joy. In various cities, people spontaneously organized themselves to celebrate the victory.

Elysée Palace, Shire. Inside the office of President Bonaparte. After returning here, Charles. The smile on President Bonaparte's face had faded. In its place is Yan sù. The annihilation of the US Navy by the French Navy was only the first step. Next, the French army had to land in the United States and defeat the United States. That's the only way. France will be able to get what it wants. Shire. President Bonaparte. Only then can you get a brilliant victory. This is his expectation, and it is also the goal he strives and strives for.

In the office, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Alexander. Colona. Walewski, Minister of War Thomas. Robert. Bijo. Morality. Duke Rabbi Gonli Isley, Government Adviser Jérôme. Bonaparte and the Minister of the Admiralty, Count Reyer, were already waiting for him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, have you heard the cheers of the people? This is a victory for France, a victory for us! I hope that the cheers of the people will continue! "Charles. President Bonaparte said.

"Charles. You'll see, we'll keep winning! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said. He was the younger brother of Napoleon the Great. Shire. Bonaparte's own uncle, although he was only an adviser in the French government, was very powerful.

"That's right, I'm sure we'll win! God will bless France! "Charles. President Bonaparte said with great certainty.

"Your Excellency, the Navy is on its way back. It is expected to return to the military port of Le Havre in four days. After a short break and replenishment of ammunition, it's time to escort the Army to North America! Said the Minister of the Navy, Count Reye.

Shire. President Bonaparte nodded: "Yes! Is the Army ready? Where are our landing points? ”

"Your Excellency, the first batch of 180,000 troops has been assembled. We mobilized 500 transport ships and merchant ships to transport these troops and provide them with logistical supplies. As for the landing site, the Navy was built yì in Boston! Said the Minister of War, Duke Isley.

"Boston? 180,000 Army, 15 divisions. Who will be in charge of leading the landings in Boston, there will be no problem, right? "Charles. President Bonaparte asked, turning his head to look at the large map of the United States hanging on the wall. What Boston is, of course he knows. It is the capital and largest city of Massachusetts in the northeastern United States.

As early as September 1630, Puritan immigrants from England founded Boston. In the early 1770s, the British attempted to take full control of the 13 colonies, mainly through taxation, prompting the Bostonians to launch the American Revolution. The Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Incident, and several early battles of the American Revolution—the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the Battle of Bunker Hill, and the Siege of Boston—took place in or near the city. It can be said that this city has had a profound impact on the history of the United States.

Now, Boston is one of the largest cities in the northeastern United States. And, because Boston was the closest major port to Europe in the United States, it rapidly developed its overseas trade, exporting rum, fish, salt, and tobacco to Europe, becoming one of the wealthiest international trading ports in the world at the time. Boston has a population of over 300,000 and is well equipped with port facilities and an industrial center. It is a strategic location in the northeastern part of the United States. In addition, Boston is only more than 600 kilometers away from Washington, the capital of the United States, and only 300 kilometers away from New York, the largest city in the United States. Once the French army landed in Boston, it could pose a threat to the strategic center of gravity of the United States.

"Your Excellency, this group of troops will be led by the General of the Army, Count Vaillants, who will be the supreme commander of the land theater in which France is fighting against the United States. In addition to the first batch of 180,000 troops, we have prepared the same number of reinforcements in the future, ready to go to the United States at any time to support the front line. However, now that the main force of the American army has been pinned down by our Chinese allies, and the Spaniards will also land in the southern United States, we will not encounter too much resistance. Perhaps, as long as these 180,000 troops are enough, it will be enough to defeat the Americans! The Duke of Isley looked a little optimistic. On the west coast of North America, more than 100,000 Chinese* troops are fighting the Americans, and he believes that the French Army will not be much worse than the Chinese Army. What the Chinese Army can do, the French Army can also do.

"Count Wayan, he's a good candidate. Sue him, if we can successfully defeat the United States, he will be promoted to field marshal! "Charles. President Bonaparte said.

The Count of Wayan, who is only 57 years old, is also a very influential person among the generals of the French Army.

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Duke Isley nodded.

"Charles, what is your goal this time? Destroy America? "Jérôme. Bonaparte asked.

"Annihilation of America? No, it's too difficult! The United States has a population of more than 20 million, and although their main force is dragged down by the Chinese, if they are fully mobilized, their strength is still not to be underestimated. All we need to do is regain the territory we lost! "Charles. President Bonaparte said with a smile. Although, he also wants to destroy the United States. But he knew that if he wanted to destroy the United States, the price to pay would not be small. The strength of France is not yet strong, and it cannot afford to lose too much in the United States.

"The territory that was lost, do you mean Louisiana? Although that territory is more than 800,000 square kilometres, it is only some agricultural area. "Jérôme. Bonaparte frowned.

"No, my dear uncle, you have misunderstood me!" Shire. President Bonaparte shook his head.

Then, pointing to the map, he drew a large circle in the northeastern and northern parts of the United States, including the Appalachian Mountains and the Great Lakes region at once.

"Here, there should be more than 800,000 square kilometers. However, it is the interest over the years! "Charles. President Bonaparte said.

In this painting, he included the states of Maine, Wimot, New Hamp, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota in the northeastern United States. In terms of area, this area has a population of more than 1.3 million. Moreover, most of the industry in the United States is concentrated near the Appalachian Mountains. This is tantamount to slaughtering more than half of the industrial areas in the United States in one fell swoop!

After obtaining these industrial zones in the United States, France's industrial strength will be improved again. At the same time, it will reduce the population of the United States by half. Having lost most of its industrial strength and half of its population, the United States could no longer pose a threat to France.

Of course, it would be even better to keep the United States, and if the United States could form a pro-French government. The United States can be used against the Spaniards in the south and the Chinese in the west. In this way, France will be able to gain an advantage in North America.

"Charles, you have a good idea. But will the Americans give in? "Jérôme. Bonaparte was incredulous.

"They're going to rebel. But the great French army would let these Americans know that their resistance would be of no avail. Our army will completely crush their resistance and win victory for us! "Charles. President Bonaparte said confidently.

Jérôme. Bonaparte and the rest of the French elite nodded. They believe that with the strength of France, it will not be too difficult to defeat the United States and force the United States to submit! (To be continued......)
