Mavi glanced at Maria behind her, a little puzzled.

Does Maria care too much about Freya?

Are they privately connected?

Or.

This Mary is also a demon?

It should be, since the ancient god forces have planted the Great Demon of the Supreme Four Pillars in London, there is no reason to let Paris go!

Go back and test it out with a real pocket watch.

As he pondered, the soldier stopped at a door at the end of the hallway, knocked lightly, and then pushed it open.

The red-lacquered, intricately carved doors open to both sides, and the first thing that catches your eye is twelve white jade pillars inscribed with text, and a red coffin is placed on a raised platform in the center, and the room is lit by burning candles on the walls, like a tomb.

On the inside of the twelve white jade pillars, a man in a blue military uniform and a boat-shaped military cap stood, with his hands behind his back and his back to the gate, was looking at the map on the wall, and only then did he slowly turn around when he heard the sound of the door opening behind him.

He has dark brown hair, a slightly blessed face, a broad nose, and eyes that are as green as jewels.

If it weren't for Ma Wei knowing who the man in front of him was, I am afraid that he would have thought that he was a butcher selling meat on the street, of course, this is just a subjective assumption based on his appearance, in fact, the momentum of the man in front of him cannot be ignored, especially the ambition in his eyes, aggressive.

Napoleon Bonaparte!

A big man in history that cannot be ignored!

"More than half a century ago, I became commander of the garrison of the Paris Military District, when I was 26 years old."

Napoleon, with his hands behind his back, walked up to the stone platform and turned his head to look at the twelve white jade pillars carved with his exploits: "I suppressed the armed rebellion of the royalist forces, was promoted to brigadier general, and officially stepped into the military and political circles, and at the same time protected the fruits of the revolution, and let the Popon Kingdom embark on the road of republicanism, but unfortunately. Due to my misjudgment, I lost 200,000 elites in the Romanov Kingdom, and my success fell short. ”

"Four years ago, Royal Navy Lieutenant Mavi Enders resigned from the military and founded the Church of Truth, and three years later, the Church of Truth became the state religion of the Romanov kingdom, and Mavi Enders became Pope when he was 26 years old."

"Last year, a Frederick went to the Kingdom of Windsor and became a potion dealer ordained by the Goddess of Fate Church, his name was Nicholas von Manstein, and he was also 26 years old that year."

Napoleon took a deep breath and said with emotion: "Sometimes I think, 26 is a special age, I have made a name for myself at 26, I have laid the foundation for my future path, and there are people who have done amazing deeds at the age of 26. Mr. Nicholas, welcome to Paris, and I hope that my soldiers have not been rude to you. ”

Mavi took off his hat and put it on his chest and bowed to Napoleon: "Your Majesty, your soldiers have not done anything rude to me. ”

Napoleon nodded slightly, motioned for the soldiers in the room to stand down, and asked the maid to bring a plate of cream pastries, and said, "This is the pastry I asked the court chefs to make, they call it Napoleon cake, I heard that your daughter likes to eat snacks and has tasted many delicacies, I want her to taste it and give some advice, and you will too, Mr. Nicholas." ”

Hearing the snack, Yunia's eyes lit up suddenly, she looked at her father, and after getting permission, she couldn't wait to pick up a piece and stuff it into her mouth.

Ma Wei also tasted a piece of the so-called Napoleon cake, which is actually a kind of mille-feuille cake with cream, which is lighter than the sweet and greasy macarons of the Windsor Kingdom, and is suitable for coffee or black tea.

The craftsmanship of the court master is good, Ma Wei thinks it is good, but

Obviously, Napoleon did not bring this plate of cake to ask him what it tasted like, but in the name of cake, to ask him what he thought of Bonaparte's First Empire.

"It's very complicated, butter, cream, eggs. With a lot of condiments, everyone says that the food in your country is delicious, and the top 10 restaurants in London are all Parisian cuisine, and now it seems to be really good. ”

"Are you satisfied?"

"It's a little lacking, but I think it's harmless."

"Where is it lacking?"

"Although this snack is called Napoleon cake, there is not a single element of Your Majesty in it."

Ma Wei said: "This dim sum has little to do with you except that it is named after you, the taste is mediocre, not unpalatable, but other kingdoms also have delicious dim sum, there are many choices, there is no enough protruding advantages, how to attract customers?" ”

Napoleon bowed his head and groaned, "What if it was a snack I made with my own hands?" Is it competitive enough? ”

"Oh, I don't think there is anyone who doesn't want to taste the pastries made by His Majesty Napoleon, who is famous for himself." Ma Wei spread his hands: "But you have a lot of opportunities, how can you have extra time?" What you are good at is leading troops to fight wars and governing the country, and when it comes to making pastries, I'm afraid you are not familiar enough. ”

"Don't you think I'm not a good pastry chef?"

"Half a century ago, no one could have done anything else to make pastries, but now so many years later, the team that prepares the ingredients for you is long gone, and no one cares about a field with only one ear of wheat. It is important to know that weeds are one of the biggest factors affecting crop yields. ”

"Is that why you chose the Kingdom of Windsor?"

"You can understand it this way."

Napoleon argued over the pastry, but went to the map hanging on the wall and said, "What do you see on this map?" ”

Ma Wei looked at it and found that it was an ordinary world map, without any markings, no kingdoms and territories, only drawing mountain valleys and basin peaks.

The map is carved into the wall, and Napoleon failed to conquer the world, and suffered a heavy defeat in the Romanov kingdom, which made him defeated, such a map without national borders is perhaps what he wants to see the most.

"I see your majesty's ambitions."

Hearing Mavi's answer, Napoleon smiled: "Yes, ambition In the years that I have been asleep, the world has changed dramatically, and the Kingdom of Frederick is annexing the former Rhine League in an attempt to complete unification; The Romanov kingdom carried out a revolution and embarked on the road to a strong country; The same is true of the United States of Citi, the outbreak of the Civil War, the end must be unification. ”

Mavi thought that Napoleon would be frustrated that he had missed the opportunity for reunification, but Napoleon said: "What a blessing to have so many powerful opponents"

"Luckily?"

"That's right." Napoleon looked at the map and said in a calm tone: "A person's time is too lonely, even if he picks the fruits of victory, he feels dull and tasteless, and the more opponents, the stronger my desire for victory will be."

"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid of failure again?"

"I've failed twice." Napoleon said: "I am not afraid of failure, what does not kill me will only make me stronger, the truly strong will never be discouraged, and as long as there is still a breath, the hope of victory will not be extinguished." ”

What a terrible self-confidence!

It was not conceit, not arrogance, but real self-confidence that appeared in Napoleon!

He believes in himself, in the land under his feet, and in the people who live on this land, and even death cannot make him bow his head!

It is no wonder that so many people are willing to follow him, standing by Napoleon's side, whether they are friends or foes, they will unconsciously straighten their waists and be infected by his aura.

Will be excited by the strength of the opponent, in addition to Napoleon, Mavi has also seen one person - Katerina!

When she heard about the resurrection of Napoleon and Caesar, Katerina said that she would defeat these two opponents who left a strong mark on history and make the name of Romanov resounding all over the world!

"If a war breaks out in the United States of Citi, there must be a shadow of the Kingdom of Windsor in it, Rhodes IV did the right thing, the United States of Citi has a unique geographical location, once they are allowed to develop, it will be difficult to contain it."

Napoleon did not seem to regard Mavi as an outsider, and said without hesitation: "Mr. Nicholas, do you know that the United States of Citi has invented a new weapon? ”

Ma Wei said calmly: "I haven't paid attention to the affairs of the United States of Citi recently. ”

"Well, follow me."

Napoleon walked ahead with his hands behind his back, and Mavi followed closely behind with Unia and Maria, and soon came to the next room, which was like an arsenal of weapons, filled with weapons from all over the world.

"Last year, the Romanov kingdom shocked the world by using a repeating rifle called Edward I on the battlefield."

Napoleon walked to a glass case, took out a brand-new Napoleon No. 1 rifle, and opened the magazine to play: "The Edward No. 1 rifle can be filled with 5 rounds at a time, using rear-loading ammunition that I have never seen before, and the accuracy is far better than that of the Dreiser bolt rifle equipped by the Kingdom of Windsor. ”

Putting the Napoleon I rifle back in the glass case, Napoleon walked to the next glass case, which contained a firearm mounted on a two-wheeler: "Less than three months after the Edward I rifle appeared, the United States of Citi developed a rotary tube machine gun with a faster rate of fire and rear-loading ammunition. ”

"Not long ago, I heard that the Northern Army of the United States of Citi began to be equipped with a new weapon called the Martini rifle, which was more advanced than the Edward I rifle, so I paid a lot of money to buy one back."

As he spoke, Napoleon opened the glass display case and took out a one-meter-long rifle, which was demonstrated by simply pulling the wrench under the trigger to quickly eject the cartridge case for a second shot.

"The advent of rear-loading ammunition has changed the original pattern of firearms, and I have a hunch that in the near future, all the front-loading muskets we use now will be outdated and obsolete by the times."

Napoleon played with the Martini rifle in his hand and said: "This gun was invented by the United States of Citi and fires as fast as the user's hand, and is more stable, faster and easier to maintain than the Edward I rifle, which requires the rhythm of firing. How terrible, in less than a year, the United States of Citi has developed such an advanced weapon. ”

"Your Majesty, this is the age of magic, and guns can play a small role." Maria said.

"Is it really useless?" Napoleon narrowed his eyes and said: "The appearance of reloading ammunition has caused the bullet to appear with a metal shell and a standardized warhead, if we carve a magic array on the warhead and shoot at the same time as activation, can we extend the range of use of some magic?" ”

In Mavi's somewhat shocked gaze, Napoleon continued: "For example, corruption magic can make an item decay quickly, and if we carve corruption magic into a warhead and launch it, can it have the effect of killing with one hit, or destroying buildings?" ”

"Putting these factors aside, with the update and iteration of weapons, the tactics I used before are no longer usable, and now the use of line formations on the battlefield is a live target, and the enemy will be finished with a salvo, and the cavalry will also withdraw from the stage of history."

Napoleon looked at Mavi: "I heard that the Kingdom of Frederick is secretly developing this new weapon, according to the information I have gathered, it seems that they are also planning to use airships to drop explosives on the ground, and are also preparing to use rear-loading ammunition on artillery, when I heard about this, I felt that the Kingdom of Frederick was a group of crazy people, but when I think about it, I think they are geniuses!" ”

Ma Wei suddenly realized that he was not the only smart person in this world.

When new weapons, such as revolutionary rear-loading munitions, appear, countries around the world will research, improve, and invent all kinds of firearms, and the ideas of scientists are absolutely fantastical, you can think of it, and others can think of it.

Especially in an era when all countries have spies from other countries, how can it be so simple to secretly develop weapons and equip the army on a large scale?

As long as a little news leaks, within half a year, other countries will catch up with your research progress!

For example, can he think of the revolution of magic on modern firearms, and others can't?

The kingdom of Frederick had already begun to study it

The Romanov Kingdom, which is backward in scientific research and technology, wants to catch up with these countries, it is even more difficult than climbing to the sky, so it can only make a desperate bet and vigorously develop education with the strength of the whole country, and desperately move forward.

If you are backward, you will be beaten, this is absolutely a truth that has not changed for thousands of years!

"In addition to the gun revolution, there is one new thing that will have a huge impact on the future - potions."

Napoleon put the Martini rifle back in the display case and got down to business: "Magic and potions go hand in hand, and potions can do what magic can't do, potions with magical effects can even bring people back to life." ”

"For the church, potions are a great weapon, and whoever can control them will have the absolute right to speak in the church."

"Mr. Nicholas, as a potions dealer in the Church of Fate, you've already tasted the sweetness, haven't you?"

Mavi looked at Napoleon's dark green eyes and said slowly: "Potions have indeed brought me status and benefits, and the church values me very much. ”

"Would you like to go to the next level?"

"I don't understand what you mean, Your Majesty."

"The strength of Bonaparte's First Empire is not weaker than that of the Kingdom of Windsor, and Anatole is good at creating, in time, the glory will surely go to Nicholas of Paris, and now is a good time for you to abandon darkness and turn to light."
