"You've been awarded a meritorious item: a certificate of appointment from Major General France." Just when Han Xing touched this roll of paper, Han Xing suddenly heard the sound of the space.

Orange Prop (Meritorious)

Validity: Perpetual

Function: (Passive Effect) Unlock Title: Major General (France). In all the worlds of the drama (qíng) that exist in France, you will be considered to have the rank of major general who is recognized.

Introduction: This letter of attorney, signed by Napoleon Bonaparte himself, is simply invaluable, and it can easily give you a winning start! (Note: Meritorious items are extremely rare, and most of them have a limit on the number of times)

"I'll go, it's worthy of taking the emperor! Take out any piece of paper, it's all top-notch purple props! Han Xingbu (jìn) was amazed by this, especially that line of notes, which made Han Xing realize the weight of this thing in his hand.

"What are you going to do in the future? Continue to be a mercenary? Does that really make sense? Napoleon asked, staring at Han Xing with his gray-blue eyes.

"Is the future really that good? Will you go back there and feel more comfortable than you are now? Where is Paderborn? Don't you want to take back your family territory? Napoleon did not say anything, but threw out one question after another, testing Han Xing and observing his watch (qíng).

"Looks like you might be an angel! I thought you would have at least a little struggle on your face when you mentioned Paderborn! Maybe you really are from heaven, an angel who has no (yù) want, so none of the things I can give can get into your eyes! Napoleon shook his head and said with a wry smile.

"I think I'll go to the Caribbean!" Han Xing thought for a while.

"New World? It's a great place to be! A new world, vast land, countless legends and riches, waiting for people to discover and explore! Napoleon said with a clear face.

"But I like it more here, I prefer to look at what is actually in front of me than in the distance! And, it's going to be a tough ride, are you really ready? The sea is an unpredictable mother, where opportunities and risks coexist! Napoleon's attempt to articulate the horror of the sea and the unpredictability of the future was his way of retaining Han Xing and the best manifestation of his pragmatism.

Unlike Robert's straightforward retention, Napoleon tried to reject Han Xing's illusory illusions and persuade him to abandon the idea of leaving through the analysis of the future through reason (xìng).

"Looks like no matter what I say, you're not going to waver, are you?" Napoleon didn't see a hint of intention on Han Xing's face, and the more he sighed, he said helplessly.

"Give ~ this is my parting gift!" Napoleon took out a notebook with a red cover and some worn and cracked surfaces, stuffed it into Han Xing's hand.

As soon as Han Xing took it, he found that this was another treasure:

Napoleon's Artillery Tactics (Notebook)

Introduction: This is a summary of Napoleon's military tactics and thoughts, which can be called the bible of artillery science! If it can be published, it will definitely become an epoch-making work in military history. (The item is space-only, and God knows how you curry favor with Napoleon?) ）

Amazement, this is the truest portrayal of Han Xing's heart. Han Xing automatically ignored the last joke in the introduction, thinking that most people would think that it was not necessary to have a good relationship with a character like Napoleon! Because he is just an ordinary person, no matter how good the relationship is, he can't get the world's martial arts, heaven and earth treasures, and their sense of devotion (qíng) is for trading, for (tào) to get information, or to use his power.

Han Xing also planned this at first, but when he gradually got to know Napoleon as a person, he began to be attracted by his personal charm, what an eccentric person he was, out of place in this era, his horizons were so broad, his curiosity (yù) was so strong, his vision was so long-term, and the amazing ideas that popped up in his head from time to time were amazing even as a modern person!

In this way, Napoleon went from a cold and unfamiliar name to a living, bloody (ròu), joyful and sorrowful man, he would also worry and fear, he would also be sad and cry, he would also be helpless, he would be vulnerable, he would not be perfect, he would be seasick, he would be sick, he would be confused, but because of this, he would be like a real person, not a cold statue.

"Thank you, I don't know what to say, Napoleon!" In a moment, the memories of his acquaintance with Napoleon came out like a spring, and scenes and pictures appeared in Han Xing's mind. In an instant, the defense line in his heart was overwhelmed by the gloomy sorrow that swept like a tidal wave bursting from a.

"If you want to venture out into the Caribbean, take the Vostok! I know you have a way to take it away, alas~ I won't need it anytime soon! You know, I don't seem to be in love with the sea~" Napoleon teased with a smile on his face, and as he said that, he opened the floor-to-ceiling windows, pointed to the Vostok, which was moored in the harbor, and sighed.

"I've always believed that happiness is about using your talents! For a battleship, its destiny is to swim the seven seas, not to stay in the dock and be mothed! You'll need it more than I do, and hopefully you'll think of me, your friend, from time to time as you ride it! ”

"You know, Napoleon? If there is anything in this world that I can choose to stay, it is not because of wealth, glory, status, or even land and title, the only thing in this world that I can't part with is your friendship! Trust me, I'd love to see you build your dream world, and it would be my pleasure! But I also have a reason why I have to keep leaving, life is so short and I just want to go back to my family (shēn)! If Heaven has mercy, maybe, we will see you again! Han Xing was deeply moved, the three gifts are more expensive than the same, if you want to use a poem to describe it, that is, in Li Bai's "Gift to Wang Lun", "The Peach Blossom Pond is a thousand feet deep, not as deep as Wang Lun gave me (qíng)".

"I don't want you to leave, but I bless you! I respect and understand your choice, and sometimes I want to explore the vastness of the new world, live a carefree life, and explore those unknown mysteries! But I know that I don't belong to the new world, I belong here, and I have a hunch that I will win everything I want here! Napoleon stood in front of the window with his hands folded and said in a confident and heroic tone.

"By the way, Napoleon, what do you think of the current situation in Italy?" Han Xing suddenly wanted to leave Napoleon some practical advice to repay him for his generosity.

"Don't you feel that your diplomatic tactics are somehow flawed? It is true that negotiating when you have the advantage and not spending a single soldier can obtain the maximum benefit, but doesn't this also leave you with hidden dangers? The negotiations also preserved the last of the enemy's strength. When you are strong, they are like meek lambs. But when you encounter difficulties and setbacks, these docile lambs will become hungry wolves that eat people and do not spit out bones! Diplomacy is a double-edged sword, and when necessary, you should try to be Attila! ”

This is where Napoleon's alliance tactics failed, and he used his powerful force and flexible diplomacy to force all European countries to ally with him, or become his vassals, and join the Napoleonic order he created. And through the marriage with Austria, he tried to ease the relationship between the two sides and win Austria to his side, but he did not expect that in the end, Austria still chose to join the anti-French alliance.

Why? In fact, the reason is very simple, Napoleon banned the Holy Roman Empire and took away the laurels that belonged to Emperor Franz, and he still expected the Austrians to be on his side? What a shame! If anyone is the Austrian Emperor of the Habsburgs, the good Emperor of the HRE has been made the Emperor of the Austrian Empire, I'm afraid he will be angry, right?

He was not desperate enough for his enemies, he was too merciful, Austria was a complete enemy, and an enemy that could not be reconciled, and could not be turned into a friend by the constraints of a few victories, an armistice, or a political marriage! The abolition of the Holy Roman Empire was the first of its kind, and it was natural that the consequences of such an act could not be viewed in the eyes of the past.

Fortunately, the Italian upheaval taught Napoleon a lesson in a way, and he did not experience the Sardinian succession in history, because Giulio di Savoy was always only Duke of Savoy and died early, so naturally this situation would not have happened. But what happened in front of him was largely a wake-up call for Napoleon, exposing the loopholes in his alliance tactics, and Italy was like a miniature continent, and when he went to Egypt and had no time to think about it, the Italian states that had been subservient to him were once again stupid (yù).

"I think I get it!" Napoleon, you have been looking at the map for a long time, and then nodded and said. Obviously, he has realized that hegemonism cannot last long, and complete conquest is the truth of the royal road.

"By the way, remember to be kind to your stomach and don't do strenuous exercise after eating..."

"Also, don't take a bath all the time, are you taking a bath or making soup? Do you want to cook yourself? ”

"Don't keep wearing tight (shēn) pants, if you continue like this, you will get hemorrhoids sooner or later!"

"Goodbye, Napoleon!" After admonishing him, Han Xing hesitated, but still gave Napoleon a hug, and then walked out of the headquarters with his head held high, shook the door happily, and disappeared into Napoleon's world.

Napoleon knew very well how resistant Han Xing was to hug, and naturally understood how heavy this hug was, and how much deep (qíng) friendship it contained at parting.

Looking at the room where he was alone, Napoleon felt as if everything around him was cold again, he was bathed in the sea breeze, his gray-blue eyes reflected in the endless sea, and his back gave people a feeling of (tǐng) pulling, lonely and high, and depressed. Perhaps this is the fate of a great man, solitude is their companion, majesty is their mask.

As Niccolò Machiavelli said, "A king is a king because he looks majestic!" It wasn't that Napoleon wanted to be a lonely king, but that was the role given to him by society.

"That's an interesting weapon! I'm not curious about what the battlefield would be like if all smoothbore guns could use this device. Napoleon took a revolver from his pocket, looked at it carefully, played with it, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
