"But what?"

Dieko's face showed a look of joy as he got Jérôme. Bonaparte replied affirmatively, he had never thought that he would be able to obtain two battalions of "Zuaf" troops at once, and the best case would be to obtain the right to fight together with one battalion of "Zuaf", and he hurriedly asked Jérôme. Bonaparte.

The root cause of Dicko's violent mood swings is simply because of the "discrimination" of a traditional army power against the navy.

For France, a traditional land power, the navy was nothing more than the icing on the cake when they were victorious.

The head-to-head confrontation on the European battlefield has always relied on the army, and the navy has little value in existence.

Not to mention that during the Napoleonic Wars, a series of operations of the French Navy completely deprived France of the opportunity to land in Britain, and then gave Britain a chance to defeat France.

Had it not been for the invasion of Algeria in 1830 and the distrust of the army by the Kingdom of Orléans after 1830, the navy would have been in a more awkward position than it is now.

In any country, there is a faint opposition between the navy and the army, and although the confrontation between the navy and the land is not as good as the Showa Japan does, the navy builds tanks and the army builds fleets, but it is still difficult for the army to transfer its elite troops to the navy.

Even in France on the OTL World Line, it was only after the Franco-Prussian War in 1870 that the navy and army "worked together", under the leadership of the government, to divert the attention of the people to temporarily downplay the fact that Alsace-Lorraine was ceded and to concentrate on colonial expansion.

Of course, this diversion lasted only a few short years.

After the collapse of the colonial cabinet government, the people once again remembered the humiliation suffered by France......

"I will order the War Department to send you two battalions of 'Zuaf' troops. However, the Navy must promise me! Build a qualified army in the Far East! This unit will be part of the Foreign Legion! "Jérôme. Bonaparte unhurriedly made a request to Dico.

"This ......," Diko glanced at Jérôme. Bonaparte, his face showed hesitation.

In all fairness, Jérôme. Bonaparte's offer was indeed exciting, but it was a bit ...... to let the navy train troops for the army How to say it! It's unpleasant!

"How? Minister Diko! "Jérôme. Bonaparte deliberately urged Dick to make a decision as soon as possible.

"I promise you!" Dyko eventually agreed to Jérôme. Bonaparte's request.

"That's right! When forming a foreign legion in the Far East, it is better to recruit guys who can teach them to read and write! Although they can bear hardships and stand hard work, they are ...... disciplined." Thinking that a certain Sichuan army in the Republic of China later used the slogans of "straw shoes" and "cloth shoes" to teach soldiers to stand in line. Bonaparte felt a headache.

He simply handed over this headache to the Admiralty, believing that Dick would be able to train good soldiers for him.

At this time, Dick did not know what a desperate job he had taken over.

When the fleet arrived at the French Concession in Pudong in the Far East, the fleet began to plan the Far East Foreign Legion on the orders of the Minister of the Navy.

With the help of the Pudong missionaries, the Far Eastern Foreign Legion, of nearly 3,000 people, was established.

Just when everyone thought they would soon be able to train a competent team, the Seris-based team showed them what it meant to be a piece of loose sand.

Forced to do so, the fleet commander could only use the soldiers of the Zuaf battalion, who were preparing to attack Hawaii, as instructors, and then use the "white translators" to conduct cramming training for the foreign regiment.

Amid the complaints of the officers of the "Zuaf" battalion and the soldiers of the Foreign Legion, the Far Eastern Foreign Legion barely became an army after three months.

After that, this unit became the first foreign legion established by France in the Far East, fighting for the cause of French expansion in the Far East.

That's all in the future......

"By the way, who are you going to be the commander of this fleet that is about to go to the Far East?" Jérôme. Bonaparte sat down in the minister's chair belonging to Dico, crossed his legs and asked Dico.

"I'm planning to put the Marquis of Alai in this position!" Diko vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"Huh?" Jérôme. Bonaparte glanced at Dico in surprise and asked suspiciously, "As far as I know, the Marquis of Alai had the rank of colonel before he left his post, right?" ”

"That's right!" Diko nodded.

"The current rank of Fleet Commander in the Far East is Brigadier General! Are you going to let a colonel command a brigadier general? Not to mention, the colonel has just returned to the army! "Jérôme. Bonaparte licked the corners of his dry mouth and smiled.

"Your Excellency, I think that the Marquis of Alai is capable enough to assume the position of brigadier general!" Dico's tone was firmly Jerome. Bonaparte responded.

"What about the brigadier general from before?" Jérôme. Bonaparte once again asked the current "Emperor" of the Far Eastern Fleet, Tretrand.

"I have decided that after the arrival of the Marquis of Alai, Brigadier General Demmelang will leave his post and return home!" When talking about Tu Meilang, Dico's tone was tinged with a hint of complaint.

If Tow Melon's operation in the Hawaiian Kingdom was successful, Dick only complained in his heart that Tow Melon did not play his cards according to "common sense", but Tow Melon's sneak attack on the Hawaiian Kingdom did not succeed, but instead obtained a "humiliating" failure.

Although he proudly claimed in the letter that he had cost Hawaii hundreds of thousands of dollars and robbed the King of Hawaii's private car, failure was failure, and no excuse could make up for it.

As the "Emperor" of the Far East, he can only taste defeat alone, and Brigadier General Tuo Meilang will probably sit on the cold bench in the next fate.

Unless Dick died suddenly in his office one day.

Jérôme. Bonaparte was not interested in holding Tumeran responsible, since the person in charge of the work was Dico.

After a brief understanding of Dieko's strategy for the expeditionary fleet in Hawaii and who to choose, Jérôme. Bonaparte did not ask any further.

"That's it! It's time for me to go! "Jérôme. Bonaparte took out a pocket watch from his bosom, opened it and looked down at the time.

It was already 11 o'clock in the evening and he quickly got up and Diko would take Jérôme. Bonaparte sent out of the Admiralty building.

Near the beginning of the board, Jérôme. Bonaparte continued to tell Todico to get some rest.

Diko agreed to Jérôme. Bonaparte's entrustment, seeing Jérôme. Dicco, whose carriage disappeared into the night, resolutely returned to the minister's office to work on the documents, despite the dissuasion of the secretary of state.

Go to bed? Only the lazy sleep, and the diligent have long since begun to work.

……

Over the next few months, the republican and hill rebellions gradually subsided, and rumors that Prince Ruanville would be registered in Calais were dispelled.

Passing through Jérôme. After some "heart-to-heart talks" between Bonaparte and the Minister of War, the Minister of War also agreed that the two battalions of the "Zuaf" unit should be transferred to the Admiralty of the Province.

After that, the "Zuaf" battalion, which originally consisted of only 7 battalions, was once again doubled to 14 battalions.

At the same time, the Far Eastern Foreign Legion, which had always had a strength of 3,000 people, was also quietly attached to the Colonial Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of War.

At the end of March, the Minister of the Navy, Dicko, appointed the Marquis of Alai commander of the expeditionary fleet and promoted him to the rank of brigadier general.

At the beginning of April, a fleet of five third class battleships and steam frigates set off from the Calais Strait, and the nervous and nervous kingdom of Britain on the other side of the ocean also moved quickly.

In the evening of the same day, the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Britain, Cauley, went to the Tuileries Palace to inquire about Jérôme. The whereabouts of the French fleet of Bonaparte.

In getting Jérôme. It was only when Bonaparte's fleet went on duty in the Far East that Ambassador Cowley's nervousness eased, and he then asked in a relaxed tone whether the French fleet needed the help of the British coastal base.

Adhering to the principle that it is a fool to have a cheap and not to take advantage, Jérôme. Bonaparte decisively said that of course it was needed.

It would also allow Britain and France to work more closely together.

Of course, Jérôme. Bonaparte did not tell the British fleet that the purpose of the march was to punish the Kingdom of Hawaii, but in vague terms it was to protect the expatriates in the Far East.

For Jérôme. Ambassador Cowley would not have believed such vague remarks from Bonaparte.

The next day, Ambassador Cowley issued a warning to the British Nation to keep an eye on what the fleet was doing in the Far East.

Britain, who had received the letter from Ambassador Cowley, was also nervous about the fleet bound for the Far East.

Had it not been for the obstruction of Foreign Secretary Palmerston, the Cabinet would have almost spied on the French fleet as an "enemy" because of Ambassador Cauley's letter.

Under Palmerston's influence, Britain finally did not fall into the point of being a soldier.

The shadow of Napoleon's war left Britain with severe trauma in her heart.

Even so, relations between Britain and France remained vaguely distant throughout April, and Nicholas I, who seized the opportunity, quickly offered an olive branch to Britain.

Since the anti-Russian faction in Britain served as foreign secretary, Britain did not accept the olive branch handed by the Russian Empire.

Britain's blatant disregard for the Russian Empire upset Nicholas I, and relations between Russia and Britain began to drift apart.

On April 15, 1851, the state of martial law in Paris, which had been in a state of tension, was also lifted, and the 1st Division of Paris returned to the suburbs of Paris.

The National Guard of the XII Corps in Paris was also in Jérôme. Under Bonaparte's orders, it began to gradually fall into abandonment, leaving only six legions loyal to the Bonapartians and the Empire.

On April 20, the World's Fair, organized by Prince Albert, will open on May 1.

Leaders of dozens of countries, including France, Russia, Austria, Prussia, and the United States, received a personal invitation from Queen Victoria, inviting them to bring the "crystallization" of their country to Britain.
