Rush to Elba Island in broad daylight and gather the people on the island and annihilate it. Even gave an order not to leave a living mouth!

Leaving no living mouth is actually an impossible task, even if you search room by room, there will still be live mouths. Sometimes there is not much difference between a human and a mouse, and no matter how big the disaster, the mouse will always survive.

Napoleon knew that the Ming did this to establish power. To establish authority over the whole of Europe, the Ming Dynasty only needs to dispatch 100 people to capture an island guarded by more than 2,000 people, and it can also completely annihilate the enemy army.

Deterrence is an important means for a country, and the Ming Dynasty wants Europe to see how invincible the Ming is.

"Hello! Your Majesty the Emperor! Li Xiu stood up and smiled as he approached Napoleon.

"Hello, Your Excellency the Commander of the Navy, I was able to get out of the cage, thank you!" Napoleon walked over and shook hands politely with Li Xiu.

"You are a friend of Da Ming, and they are not qualified to judge you." After shaking hands with Napoleon, Li Xiu pointed to the sofa beside him.

The island of Malta is now an enclave of the Ming Dynasty, where a regiment of marines is stationed. There are large and small ships parked in the military port, ranging from large sailing ships to huge ironclad ships.

The merchant ships of various countries running in the Mediterranean are as small as cats beside tigers in front of these ships.

This is hard power, although only one regiment is placed here, but no one dares to fight the idea of Malta. The reason is simple, you can't get by.

The gunboats that are loitering on the sea will easily take out the main warships of the current European countries.

If the Changbaishan anchored on the island of Crete sails, half of Europe will tremble.

"What are His Majesty's plans for the future?"

"I want to go back to France, as long as Daming supports it, I will rearm France." Ever since flying out of Elba, Napoleon has been wondering how he could return to France and seize power.

"No problem, Daming is fair. Since you are willing to exchange all the remaining shares of Suez, Daming will definitely provide you with sufficient resources.

As soon as you are able to return to Paris and complete the formalities required for the contract. We will pay you eight divisions of equipment first, and then ten more divisions will arrive.

All weapons were made in the Bombay Arsenal, and the materials were also improved. This time it is a weapon produced under the supervision of the Ming Dynasty, and it will definitely not appear in a situation where it cannot be fired in a cold area. ”

Li Xiu specifically explained that because the weapons that were originally given to Napoleon were Indian weapons captured on the battlefield. The weapons produced by Wu Sangui are no problem in India.

However, because of the problem of steel ratio, when used in cold areas, it will cause frequent weapon failures due to the problem of thermal expansion and cold contraction.

Because in the early years in Liaodong, there was such a problem with the firearms of the Liao army. At the cost of blood, after years of painstaking research, Yu Lao finally improved the steel ratio.

The quality of the firearms produced by Daming is guaranteed, and there will be no such problems after actual inspection.

"Your Excellency, this is all easy to say. If you are willing to give me twenty airships, I am willing to exchange French Tunisia for them. Napoleon gritted his teeth and magnified his moves.

On Elba's Island, he saw the power of airships. This time we must get a few airships out, with this thing, no matter how many people in the anti-French alliance are scum.

"French Tunisia?" Li Xiu hesitated, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Yes!" Napoleon's eyes were full of hope.

"If we want French Tunisia, I'll take it myself. You look at the disembarking soldiers on the docks, who have been transferred here for Operation Gibraltar next month.

In the middle of next month, the Ming fleet will sail to Gibraltar and then ...... Take it! Li Xiu's relaxed attitude was not like talking about a military operation, as if he was talking about where he was going to the banquet next month.

Napoleon choked! Li Xiu was indeed arrogant enough to invade French territory in front of the French emperor. But there is no way, Da Ming does have this strength.

With Malta already controlling the Eastern Mediterranean, Tunisia has become relatively unimportant. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty has set its sights on Gibraltar.

By controlling Gibraltar and the Suez Canal, the Ming Dynasty controlled the entire Mediterranean shipping.

Tunisia's status is certainly not on the same footing as Gibraltar's.

"Then what's next, ...... England!" Now that there were plans to capture Gibraltar, an invasion of the British Isles did not seem to be a big deal. Napoleon dreamed that the Ming would kill the British, and this-stirring stick organized several anti-French alliances, and if there had been enough naval power, Napoleon would have invaded the British Isles long ago.

"Daming has no plans to attack European countries, we just need to control the traffic nodes. We don't care about the rest! Li Xiu was very honest.

It's ruthless enough!

Occupy these traffic nodes, that is, control the trade in disguise. If any European country still wants to do business, it can only live by relying on Daming's snort.

"Your Excellency, airships are very important to us, and I need airships, even if there are only ten." Napoleon could not let go of his attachment to airships.

"Ten ......! There is really no need for the territory of Daming, maybe you can pay. Li Xiu thought for a moment.

Napoleon, who seemed to be a drowning man, suddenly saw a lifebuoy, and immediately asked with a twinkle in his eyes: "How much?" ”

"How much can you come up with?" Li Xiu took a sip of tea and asked.

"How about five hundred gold coins a piece?" Napoleon gritted his teeth.

Five hundred gold coins ......! Li Xiu's thumbs of both hands kept wrapping his fingers.

Five hundred gold coins, which is five thousand Ming silver coins. This amount of money should not be small, and Daming now has a lot of old airships that are about to be eliminated.

Compared to dismantling, it is also good to be able to sell a large sum of money. However, seeing Napoleon's longing appearance, Li Xiu decided to hang his appetite.

Seeing that Li Xiu did not speak, Napoleon began to panic in his heart. Compared to the airship, the emperor's composure is not worth mentioning. As long as you get the airship, you can go sideways in Europe, and it doesn't matter how much it costs.

"Eight hundred gold coins!" Napoleon gritted his teeth and fought war after year, and France's financial situation was actually very difficult. Eight hundred gold coins a ship, ten ships were enough to make Napoleon vomit blood.

"Deal!" When Li Xiu saw Napoleon's appearance, he didn't want the business to be ruined, so he immediately nodded in agreement. Those airships that are about to be eliminated will be sold to them for fun.

Recently, the navy has been building ships for many years, but its funding has not increased much. Li Xiu wanted more ships, so he could only blackmail Napoleon.

With these 8,000 gold coins, a little less money is enough to build a battleship with a mountain prefix.

"Great, please send me back to France now. As soon as I return to France, I will send someone to settle the matter with you. Napoleon was overjoyed.

When he returned to France, the greatest threat came not from France itself, but from the British and the anti-French alliance.

With the support of Daming behind him, the anti-French alliance is a fart.

"No problem, tomorrow there will be a warship to take you back to France. But let's say it first, the Ming will not fall into a European war. European affairs, or French affairs, you need to take care of them yourself.

At most, we can only support you with weapons. ”

"Good! As long as there is weapon support, I can deal with the rest. "Napoleon still had a lot of confidence in those countries in Europe.

"Have a good night's rest tonight, and there will be a ship to France early tomorrow morning." After Li Xiu finished speaking, he shook Napoleon's hand and beckoned to the attendants in the distance.

The squire came over and led Napoleon to a single-family villa.

The butler opened the door and led Napoleon inside. Napoleon saw two naked French maidens lying on the couch!

It's definitely a French girl, and women from other countries won't have such charm.

"They will take care of you, Your Majesty the Emperor! Have a nice day. The attendant smiled politely, turned and walked out with the door.

Early the next morning, Napoleon struggled from the entanglement of his four arms.

In the end, he is a little old, and under the madness of the night, the tail vertebrae have a faint pain.

After breakfast, Napoleon got on the Ming battleship.

It was the first time he had boarded a Ming battleship, and the captain was a very nice person. Taking Napoleon on a tour of the entire warship, Napoleon went out of his way to see the triple turret in the bow of the ship.

"Deng! How many such warships does Daming have. Napoleon patted the solid turret and turned his head to look at Captain Deng Yongchang.

"It seems that there are fifty warships like the Zhiyuan. However, it is a pity that this type of battleship will no longer be produced in the future. In their place were more advanced warships, and it was heard that the new warships had eliminated coal-fired boilers and replaced them with oil-burning ones.

The output power is large, and the speed of the warship will definitely increase in the future. ”

Napoleon's heart was a little blocked! He dreamed of having a warship, but it had become an obsolete product in Daming. The Ming was so powerful that Napoleon felt that even if the whole world united, it would not be enough to defeat the Ming.

The future world order and rules will definitely be established by the Ming Dynasty.

"Such a ship must be expensive." Napoleon was a little distracted and inadvertently asked a ridiculous question. The cost of the warship is a secret, and this Deng Yongchang will never tell himself.

"Huh! His Majesty the Emperor laughed, the most expensive thing on this ship was not the ship, but the sailors and officers on board. If you want to build a qualified navy, talent training is the key.

Our marshal once said that the army is ten years and the navy is one hundred years.

Compared with the army, the navy needs soldiers who are clever and have a certain level of education. These people who have served on the warship for more than ten years are definitely the real treasures of the Ming Navy. ”

"Oh!" Napoleon had to re-examine the unsightly Ming naval officer in front of him, who valued people and things! A small officer has this kind of insight, so what will be the situation of the top brass of the Ming Navy.

"The most important thing is that the officers at the bottom must be educated. In the past, there was a serious shortage of officers in the Ming Navy, but now it is good. There are more than 1,000 officers taught by the Jinzhou Naval Academy every year.

They will sail with the ship and will soon become the best sailors. ”

"Daming still has a naval academy?" Napoleon's eyes widened, and in France, like the rest of Europe, the officers were still filled by aristocrats. Prussia, in particular, had the vast majority of Junker nobles in their army.

As long as you see the name of the German general, many names have a Feng character in them.

"Your Majesty the Emperor! Daming not only has a naval academy, but also the earliest established army academy, I heard that there is already a flight academy, specializing in training people who pilot airships.

After graduating, these people became officers, and every year thousands of young men applied for these military studies.

Our marshal said that fighting a war is a profound science. Professional things must be done by professional people. These stick boys who will become officers in the future are professionals who are prepared for war by the Ming Dynasty.

Only in this way can we get the most benefits with the least amount of blood. ”

"Yes! Get the most out of the least amount of blood. Napoleon shook his head helplessly, and the soldiers of Europe were still fighting with bayonets in their hands.

After which war, it is not a mountain of corpses and a river of blood.

But the people of Da Ming have proposed to use the least amount of blood to get the most benefits.

Although those nobles also began to learn various techniques and tactics from a young age, so many nobles, large and small, had different levels of education.

Li Xiao!

I really want to meet His Excellency the Generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty and see what kind of person this person is. Able to turn an ancient Eastern country into a master of the world.

With no further interest in visiting, Napoleon returned to his cabin.

He began to wonder what kind of reform France needed. How can we learn the Ming model and make France strong quickly. Although he did not have the ambition to dominate the world for the time being, Napoleon never let go of his dream of dominating Europe.

I thought about it for a long time, and even dinner was solved in the cabin.

At noon the next day, I finally saw the French coast in front of me. This is a place called Ru'ang Bay, where the Ming warships put down their dinghys. Napoleon took a dinghy and returned to France after a long absence.

"France, I'm back." Napoleon waved his arm excitedly like a madman.

Two policemen on horseback became the first to witness the landing of His Majesty the Emperor.

"You...... Who are you? "Seeing the Marines with loaded guns, the police very much wanted to flee on horseback.

"Me! Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of the French Empire. I am back! Napoleon, proud as a rooster, stood in front of the police.

If there were no unscrupulous soldiers behind him, the police would have sent this madman to an insane asylum at the first opportunity.

"What are you doing in a daze? See that I still don't salute! Napoleon shouted at the two policemen.

The two policemen hurriedly saluted because they found that the soldiers had already raised their guns.
