Palace of Versailles, France.

In the War Hall, which depicts the exploits of Louis XIV in Spain, Germany, the Netherlands and other places. Louis XVII, who had already learned that he had "won without a fight", was deliberating with his ministers of state and naval marshals how to slaughter the Ottoman Empire!

"Your Majesty, your invincible French army is now ready to send troops to Algeria! I beg you to appoint me as Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Force, and I pledge to open up territory for the Kingdom of France in Africa! ”

The one who was patting his chest to ask Louis XVII to fight was the most capable marshal in France today, the Minister of War Jean. De, Deeux. Sirte. This is a seasoned French loyalist, who has served the former Bourbons, the First French Republic, the First French Empire, the Post-Bourbons, the Hundred Days, and the Post-Bourbons...... Proper six ministers. In its original history, he would also be loyal to the July Dynasty, and after the overthrow of the July Dynasty, he once again became a glorious French republican and a loyal member of the Second Republic. If he hadn't died of old age in 1851, he would have welcomed another Napoleonic emperor.

In this timeline, Marshal Sirte, who repeatedly jumped between the Republicans, the Bonaperates, and the Bourbons, was still reused by Louis XVII, worshiped the Minister of War, and was awarded the rank of Marshal of the Bourbon Dynasty, and became a nobleman of the Bourbon Dynasty.

However, Louis XVII still did not want this loyal minister, who had changed six masters, to lead troops to invade Algeria...... His favorite commander-in-chief of the French Afrika Korps was his good brother, the Admiral Louis the Black Haired.

Therefore, after following the British to declare war on Turkey, Louis XVII was reluctant to send troops to Algeria, but asked his brother Louis the black hair to take the French Mediterranean fleet to "occupy" the Suinz Canal...... Occupation with the Royal Navy, of course. Subsequently, the fleet of the black-haired Louis organized several military exercises in the Aegean Sea, with the Rakshasa Navy and the British Navy, and had many photos taken back to Paris and other newspapers to create a majestic image of the French Navy.

According to Louis XVII's plan, when the black-haired Louis has almost accumulated popularity, he can be sent to Algeria...... With Egypt's Ali Pasha releasing water, the black-haired Louis should be able to win easily. When the black-haired Louis conquered Algeria, Louis XVII made him a field marshal and minister of the army, and took good care of the disobedient French army.

But he didn't expect the black-haired Louis to return to France, and before he could lead his troops to the battle, the Ottoman Empire had already admitted defeat and sued for peace. But this is not bad, the Ottoman Empire sued for peace, and Algeria was better to fight.

Thinking of this, the King of France smiled and gave his chief minister, Duke Armand of Richelieu. Plecy gave a look, the Duke of Richelieu was a hardcore royal party in the French court, and he was also a pro-Rakshasa faction - he happened to visit the Rakshasa country during the French Revolution, because he couldn't go back to France and had no money to eat, so he joined the Russian army to help Alexander I fight the Turks. By 1805 he had become the governor of the New Rakshasa (that is, the Black Sea coast) under Alexander I, and he had become a close friend of Alexander I.

Later, after the defeat of Napoleon and the restoration of Louis XVII, the Duke of Richelieu returned to serve as a French official, and used his deep friendship with Alexander I to beg for mercy on behalf of France, so that France could not be severely punished.

So in the more than ten years since the restoration of Louis XVII, the Duke of Richelieu, and the lame and numb foreign minister of the Napoleonic Emperor, Talleyrand, have taken turns as prime ministers - although Louis XVII did not trust the group of second-five boys under the Emperor Napoleon, but Greater France has its own national conditions here, although those two-fifths are unreliable, but they can help suppress the people of Paris who rebel at every turn. It's much stronger than those kings who run faster than rabbits when the wind blows...... So after sending Napoleon away for the second time, he did not purge the Bonapartist in the court, but let them make do with the royal party to maintain the situation.

"Your Majesty," the Duke of Richelieu immediately understood what his master meant, and immediately stood up and said to Louis XVII, "I think that the key to the victory or defeat of the Algerian campaign is the navy, so the Marshal of the Navy, the Duke of Marseille, should be the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, and the most advanced of the French Navy should be sent Charles. The Mat-class battleships went to bombard the coast of Algeria as a way to demonstrate the supremacy of the French Navy in the Mediterranean. ”

Louis XVII nodded, and was thinking about agreeing to the Duke of Richelieu's suggestion, when the attendant guarding the door of the war hall suddenly shouted: "Your Excellency Talleyrand, Foreign Secretary, has arrived." ”

Talleyrand and Marshal Sirte were both the heads of the party in the Louis XVII dynasty, and he went back and forth between the two positions of prime minister and foreign minister for more than ten years.

As Foreign Secretary, of course, he also had to attend today's State Council, but before coming to the meeting, he had to talk on the phone with the foreign ministers of Rakshasas, Austria, Prussia, Britain, and other countries, so he came relatively late.

I don't know if it's because I'm embarrassed to come too late, the lame foreign minister limped away in a hurry with his cane, and Louis XVII saw him like this, and quickly waved his hand at him and said: "My foreign minister, don't be in a hurry, go slowly, don't fall...... What we have is time. ”

Talleyrand did not slow down because of the king's words, but shouted as he went: "My majesty, there is no time...... That man is coming back! ”

"That man......" Louis XVII was stunned, "Foreign Secretary, who is the man you are talking about?" ”

Talleyrand shouted: "Napoleon! Napoleon. Bonaparte ...... He's coming back! ”

"Ahh

"He, isn't he dead?"

"Is it a fraud?"

Now the war hall is frying.

Although Louis XVII was a rather shrewd ruler, he relied on maintaining a balance between the Ming Dynasty and the British to make a lot of money. Under his leadership, France's industrialization was on the way, and more recently it acquired a lot of land in the Ruhr area where coal was buried underneath. When the German coal is developed and shipped to France, the French economy will rise further.

But his rule was also rotten, and Louis XVII was restored by the bayonets of the Rakshasas, and his own power base was quite weak.

Therefore, Louis could not leave behind the rotten nobles who were loyal to the Bourbons, and when he was restored, he had to bring them back to France, let them become nobles again, and return their property and pay them annuities. Although this operation consolidated the basic position of the Bourbon dynasty, it also made the middle and lower classes of France, especially the people of Paris, even more disgusted with the Bourbons.

At the same time, France's industrialization process is not only full of ups and downs, but also accompanied by blood and tears - after all, France is not an advanced industrialized country, but a late-developing industrial country that is catching up with others. In front of France are the huge and technologically advanced Ming Dynasty, and the resource-rich and very hard-working Great Britain. Shoulder to shoulder with France was Prussia, which was known for its seriousness and rigor. And following the French ass are Rakshasas, Austria, and the United States...... There is really a blockade in the front, a chasing soldier in the back, and a fast-running competitor around him, not to mention France, it is very difficult to maintain the current position.

So the life of the working people of France is not good...... Everyone thinks that Napoleon is good! Napoleon's development route relied on robbery, which is better than Louis XVII's "being a cow and a horse" route!

In order to suppress the people and maintain his rule, Louis XVII had to co-opt the army and bureaucracy left by Napoleon...... Although these two and five boys were not die-hard Bonapartes, they did give them a chance to choose between Bourbon and Bonaparte, and Louis XVII would have to roll up and get out.

Seeing that the big guys were all looking at him with complicated expressions, Talleyrand also stopped, first bowed to the king slowly, and then said unhurriedly: "My Majesty, the British Foreign Secretary has just told me on the phone that the Prince of Parma (Nathan II) has made a request to the British government to bring the coffin of the Emperor Napoleon back to France and bury it on the banks of the Seine, among the French people whom the Emperor loved so much......"

Everyone looked at Louis XVII in unison, and saw the little fat man who looked very loyal clenching two small fists, a chubby face trembling, looking like he was about to explode, and he muttered in a low voice: "Damn the Englishmen, they are playing with fire, playing with fire!" ”
