Chapter 339: The Restoration of the Military Station and the Near East
"Yes, Your Majesty!."
Admiral Dick was in a voice with Jérôme. After Bonaparte's order to ask for an escort from a warship, he hesitated for a moment, and then replied in a firm tone.
Jérôme. Bonaparte glanced at Dicko, struck the last ball into the hole to end the game, and then took out all the billiards in the net with Dicko, and asked Dicko while placing the billiard balls in the tripod, "What were you just hesitating about?" ”
"Your Majesty, I was just thinking about banning all warships from passing through the Dardanion Strait in accordance with the provisions of the Treaty of London, and if we do so, it may cause some conflict!" Diko to Jérôme. Bonaparte voiced his concerns.
"According to the treaty, the Dardanian Strait really can't go with warships!" Jérôme. Bonaparte first nodded in agreement with Dicko's words, and then chuckled at the corner of his mouth: "But this treaty is now only suitable for the ships of the Russian Empire, and you have forgotten that two years ago, the Kingdom of Britain also broke into the vicinity of Dardanian, and even used naval guns to threaten Greece!" ”
Passing through Jérôme. Bonaparte's reminder reminded Dicko of a series of British actions in the Dardanians in 1850. The recklessness of the Kingdom of Britain at that time led to the severance of communication between Britain and France, and France turned to contact Russia.
Jérôme with all the billiard balls in place. Bonaparte then put the two billiard cues back in their original positions, and he held up two fingers to Dico: "There are already two naval powers in the Mediterranean, and there is no need for a third." The so-called Treaty of London was nothing more than a restriction on the Russian Empire's access to the Mediterranean, a position that Nicholas I should have had in mind when he signed the treaty.
Powerful countries do not need to be bound in any way, and all the initiators of the treaty will use the treaty to serve their own countries. Unless the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Empire can defeat the fleets of France and Britain, the Treaty of London will only limit them unilaterally!
If the Russian Empire doesn't like it, they can use their own power to break the rules! ”
Diko quickly understood Jérôme. Bonaparte meant that all treaties are, in the final analysis, nothing more than a choice based on strength.
"That's it! It's time for me to leave, too! I'll leave the warship matter to you! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Dico as he removed his coat from the hanger and draped it over his body.
Diko & Jérôme. Bonaparte left the Navy Club together, and the two men who had left the Navy in two carriages parked at the gate in different directions.
Return to Jérôme at the Tuileries Palace. Bonaparte was ready to devote himself to intense work, compared to the casual cousin of history, Jérôme. Bonaparte clearly understood better how to be a good leader.
Before he actually got into his work, he also sneaked a sneak peek at Vilnia, who was studying.
In mid-April 1852, Valette was given the title of French ambassador to Constantinople, preparing to leave for Constantinople to take over the post of former ambassador.
When Valette arrived in the port of Marseille from Paris, a steam warship with 90 guns appeared in the harbor, which was Valette's means of transportation to Constantinople.
Under the gaze of Valette and all the crowds watching the harbor, a small boat slowly lifted from the steam warship above the sea.
The navy crew on the small boat paddled the wooden oars gently, and with the skillful skills of the crew, the wooden oars were lightly touched, and the small boat floated away.
The boat approached the port of Marseille, and the crew standing on the boat shouted the name "Valette".
Valette quickly emerged from the crowd and waved to the crew, who quickly brought the boat closer to Valette.
In this way, Valette, who was in a small boat, boarded the battleship that went to Constantinople to report on his duties.
The propeller at the bottom of the steam battleship slowly started under the strong push of the steam, and gradually disappeared from people's sight.
The day after Valette left Paris for Constantinople as ambassador, the regent of the Kingdom of Prussia, William I (Frederick. William IV, who was unable to govern because of mental problems, declared that he "welcomed the French Empire into the European family".
This meant that France had been accepted by the two first-class powers, leaving only Russia and Prussia without recognizing France.
After the regent of the Kingdom of Prussia recognized the French Empire as a brother of the monarchy, the Austrian Empire, which had quarreled over the French Empire, finally reached an agreement. At the behest of Franz, the Austrian Imperial Chancellor and Foreign Minister Felix. Schwarzenberg recognized the creation of the French Empire and welcomed Bonaparte "brothers" on behalf of his monarch.
The Russian Empire suddenly discovered that it was not known when the pace of Britain, Prussia, and Austria and the Russian Empire gradually became inconsistent.
As the Holy Alliance seemed to be teetering, Nicholas I, sensing the crisis of the Russian Empire, sent ambassadors to Prussia and Austria to allow them to attitude, while quietly sending ambassadors to the French Empire, ready to repair relations.
Poor Vladimirovich was wrong, he expected Tsar Nicholas I's hatred of the French Empire, but he did not expect the change of attitude of the Kingdom of Prussia and Austria towards the French Empire.
A few months ago, he was the favorite of Tsar Nicholas I, and he became the backstabber of Nicholas I, taking on the scapegoat of the Russian Empire and the French Empire.
At the same time, Carl Murphy, who was idle at home. Nesherro once again ushered in a spring of his own.
In Karl. At the suggestion of Nesherro Die, Nicholas I decided to repair the broken diplomatic relations with the French Empire.
The valley/span restoration was restored, and in the matter of the title Nicholas I was not restored by Karl. Nesherro said that he had always believed in the "crown of heaven" and that Napoleon III was just a "pariah crown" and that he had brought it to his head.
Like Jérôme. How could someone like Bonaparte be on a par with these orthodox monarchs?
Therefore, on the question of the title, Nicholas I still adhered to his opinion, and used the word "friend" to represent his expression towards Jérôme. Bonaparte's disdain.
This move of Nicholas I succeeded in annoying a section of the Bonapartist faction (such as Pessini), who joined forces with the members of the army department who wanted to suspend some of the reforms through the war.
Jérôme. Bonaparte was not influenced by Pessini and proceeded with the next steps step by step.
Fighting the Russian Empire is a must, but it will not be fought until the French Empire is finished.
Hence Jérôme. Bonaparte once again summoned Niel, who was in charge of the reform of the military station, to ask him about the progress of the reform of the military station.
"Your Majesty! Up to now, we have basically completed the transformation of the military station of the military district of the province of Seine, and the military station has basically resumed the function of conscription! "Niel vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte reported on the situation at the station one by one and said: "There are nearly 10,000 veterans who are not eligible for annual service...... Each station is staffed with a number of officers to ensure that the recruitment can proceed......"
Under Nière's drastic reforms, the First Military Region of the Seine Department dismissed a total of 11,468 soldiers, including 11,000 ordinary soldiers who had exceeded their age limit and 468 junior officers.
It can be said that it is a veritable army meat grinder.
At the same time, nearly 20,000 soldiers and more than 600 cadets were incorporated into the Senason 1st Military Region.
Although these soldiers and officers were very young, they greatly increased the vitality of the French army and eliminated some of the vices.
The average age of the military region has also been reduced from more than 40 years old to about 35 years old now.
Although there has been a decline in combat effectiveness, discipline has steadily increased.
The army of the Seine province has also changed from 60,000 to more than 70,000 and nearly 80,000 now.
It can be said that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
The Strasbourg Military Region has also dismissed more than 6,000 soldiers and more than 300 military commanders, and it is expected that some of the soldiers with bad habits will continue to be dismissed.
However, the Strasbourg region did not have the convenience of Paris in terms of replenishment of officers, and many of the shortages of officers had to wait for the transfer of the personnel department of the War Department, and it was for this reason that Renio's reforms were not as strong as Niel's.
"You're doing a great job!" Jérôme after listening to Niel's report. Bonaparte got up and smiled and patted Nielle on the shoulder and encouraged: "Strive to continue, there are still several military districts waiting for us to reform!" ”
"Yes! Your Majesty! Neielle replied forcefully.
After Niel left, Jérôme. Bonaparte called in the head of the military secretariat of the president, his own adjutant, Major General Leboeuf.
"Sit down!" Jérôme. Bonaparte stretched out his hand and invited Leboeuf to sit down and asked, "How is the situation in the secretariat?" ”
"Your Majesty, the Secretariat is ...... under your leadership" Leboeuf to Jérôme. Bonaparte touted hard.
"Don't talk too much nonsense, how far you've done your survey of the Near East!" Jérôme. Bonaparte forcefully interrupted Leboeuf.
Leboeuf said with a straight face: "The Secretariat has completed the survey of the terrain of the Near East and drawn a topographic map of the Near East!" ”
"Can you show me the topographic map?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Leboeuf.
"Please wait a moment!" Leboeuf got up and left the study.
After waiting alone in the study for more than twenty minutes, Jérôme. Bonaparte finally waited for Leboeuf.
At this time, Leboeuf was holding a drawing drawn up in the secretariat hall.
