Jérôme. Bonaparte and Fitzroy. James. Henry. Somerset (Baron Raglan's full name), the old and the young, looked at each other for a long time, neither of them spoke the first word, and time seemed to freeze in the halls of the Tuileries Palace.

From the body of Baron Raglan, Jérôme. Bonaparte seemed to "see" the epitome of the previous era, an era of strife, an era of golden iron horses!

And in Jérôme. In Bonaparte's body, Baron Raglan felt the vigor and the breath of a careerist who could not be concealed.

If Count Raglan were to be asked to name a guy who was most likely to become a formidable enemy of the Kingdom of Britain in the future, it would be the guy in front of him who was surrounded by many generals and dignitaries like the stars holding the moon.

Albert, that little guy might be going to shoot himself in the foot!

Baron Raglan couldn't help but complain about Albert in his heart. Apparently, he heard from someone about the royal family and Jérôme. The deal behind Bonaparte.

However, in an instant, Lord Raglan was relieved, anyway, he was now seventy-five years old, and I was afraid that he would not see the day when France surpassed Britain.

Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and the younger generations are not angry, and he, the older generation, can't climb out of the grave to teach his children and grandchildren!

Thinking of this, Baron Raglan is very interested in Jérôme. Bonaparte's attitude also changed a little, and he stepped forward at a distance from Jérôme. Bonaparte stopped only a few paces away and bowed and said, "Gracious Majesty, on behalf of the British army, I express my deep gratitude to you and your army for helping us in times of need!" May the friendship between the French Empire and the Kingdom of Britain endure forever! ”

It turned out to be waiting for Jérôme in Lord Raglan. During the summons of Bonaparte, Jérôme. Bonaparte had already received a telegram from the embassy in Constantinople.

Valewski claimed that Britain on the Gallipoli Peninsula was suffering from bitter cold weather, and that non-combat attrition was increasing every day.

The British ambassador Canning came to the embassy to ask for his help, and they hoped that the French Empire would help the Kingdom of Britain out of its predicament.

At the same time, it is implied that as long as the Kingdom of Britain is successfully rescued, the Kingdom of Britain will give some "preferential treatments" to the French Empire, including but not limited to discounting the British bonds held by France to maintain the financial environment in the French Empire.

But the corresponding requirement was that the French Empire could not take the initiative to report on this operation.

After all, the Kingdom of Britain is also a country that wants to save face, and if you lose your face, you can't lose face again.

Valevsky, who received the conditions, immediately sent a telegram to Paris. Bonaparte could not help but feel a wave of absurdity.

Unexpectedly, the first "battle" of the French Empire in the Near East was not the Ottoman army of Chi Yuan Silistra, but to "rescue" his teammates who were also imperialist powers.

The actions of the Kingdom of Britain on the Gallipoli Peninsula made Jérôme. Bonaparte couldn't help but think of the "Kingdom of Italy", which was known as the pig's mates in the future.

However, Jérôme. Bonaparte, after carefully considering the achievements of the Kingdom of Britain, found that they had basically not fought any decent country except for a dozen African natives and the Far East.

This time if it weren't for Jérôme. If Bonaparte needed to break the shackles imposed on France by the Holy Alliance, it would be difficult for Britain to end the battle in a short period of time with Britain's own strength.

However, the Kingdom of Britain was sure to win the war.

In general, the Kingdom of Britain, as a "pit" teammate second only to the Kingdom of Italy, is stronger than the Kingdom of Italy in terms of money, and as long as there is money, there is nothing that cannot be done. (Except for a certain Middle Eastern tyrant in later generations)

Don't look at the combat effectiveness of the army of the Kingdom of Britain is not as good as the French army, but the cost of each soldier of the Kingdom of Britain is already equivalent to a soldier of the French Empire.

On the premise of having sufficient food, the Kingdom of Britain only needs to fight steadily to eliminate opponents who are weaker than him.

Then again, adhering to the idea that having a cheap and not taking advantage is a bastard, Jérôme. Bonaparte immediately put Valevsky in charge of the docking work.

Subsequently, a telegram was sent to the command in Rhode Island, ordering them to prepare 20,000 weapons and equipment and perimeter as soon as possible for the British Kingdom to choose.

The British army, which had left behind its baggage and was gray, would have to wait two to three months for it to assemble its equipment without relying on the French Empire.

After all, the Kingdom of Britain has not yet begun to mobilize, and the new legions formed need to be equipped.

After everything was arranged, Jérôme. Bonaparte then "intimately" informed Ambassador Cowley of what had happened to the British army, and informed Ambassador Cowley to let Baron Raglan meet him on February 1.

That's where Baron Raglan thanks.

"Nothing, the French army and the British army were supposed to assist each other in the fight against the Russian Empire, the enemy of the free world! Fight for peace in the free world! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said righteously.

"That's right! We are fighting for the freedom of the Balkan peoples! Baron Raglan chimed in without any shame.

After a short conversation, Jérôme. Bonaparte shook hands with Baron Raglan cordially, and at the same time smiled and encouraged the adjutant behind Baron Raglan to learn from Baron Raglan, a general who could fight well.

Hear Jérôme. Baron Raglan, after Bonaparte's praise, showed a smile on the corner of his mouth. Bonaparte's hatred was one less point.

Baron Raglan, who had a higher rank in his own army, accepted the Minister of War, Kuzan. Montauban, Deputy Chief of the General Staff Niel (Jérôme. Bonaparte felt that Nière's power was not comparable to the rank, and in particular added the post of deputy chief of the general staff), the commander of Strasbourg, Marshal Regnau, and others to shake hands.

However, while shaking hands with Marshal Regino, Baron Raglan had some minor unpleasantness with him.

The reason for this is that Lord Raglan, who rose to prominence in the symbolic period of Napoleon, considered Regnio, who had no outstanding military achievements, to be nothing more than a flatterer, and was not qualified for the rank of marshal at all.

Therefore, he looked down on Regino, and also looked down on the chief of the General Staff who commanded the French army in the Far East. Marshal Arnault was full of disdain.

After the meeting, the dignitaries left, leaving only Jérôme in the hall of the Tuileries. Bonaparte with his generals, and Baron Raglan from afar.

And then Jérôme. Bonaparte invited Baron Raglan to join his lieutenant in the War Room inside the Tuileries Palace, where he would discuss with Baron Raglan about the recent moves of the Russian Empire in the Near East.

Baron Raglan, who was critical, agreed with Jérôme. At Bonaparte's invitation, the group entered the war conference room, which had been converted from a welcome room.

Baron Raglan, who entered the conference room, actually saw the map of the Near East hanging on the wall, which was more detailed than the one he found in his travelogue, and each region was marked in detail, so that it could be said that it was a military map that could not have been more perfect.

Baron Raglan, who saw this map, couldn't help but restrain his contempt.

In any case, the French War Ministry was at least more responsible on the military map than the Kingdom of Britain.

Thinking of this, Raglan was even more convinced that the Anglo-French alliance would be victorious.

Lord Raglan, who was sitting in the audience, looked at the deputy chief of staff who was in charge of the explanation on the stage, and could not help but feel a little gloomy, he was still serving as the military secretary of the Duke of Wellington at his age, and Nielle was also the director of logistics (ordnance) in a position he had only held last year.

It can be said that if it were not for this war, it is very likely that Raglan would not have had the opportunity to serve as commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force in his lifetime.

A subtle jealousy poured into Baron Raglan's heart.

As the keynote speaker, Neiel took a deep breath and forgot to glance at the general in the audience, who had taught this lesson well, he didn't know how much preparation he had made and how many times he looked at the map.

Niel began to explain the deployment of the Russian Empire, "According to our intelligence, the Russian army now located in the Danube region has been divided into three parts, one of which is located in the fortress of Silistra, which is also the largest regiment in Russia! A month ago, this huge army had been besieging this Silistra day and night, and had almost broken it a few times! However, the Omar forces stationed here repelled them with stubborn fighting spirit. Perhaps because of the heavy casualties, the army stopped attacking two weeks ago! Shift to a defensive stance! ”

As he spoke, Niel pressed his hand on the fortress of Russe and continued: "This is the fortress of Russe, which is second only to the fortress of Silistra, since the beginning of the Russian Empire's attack! The army here has not moved, and I guess they are trying to use Ruse to contain the living forces of the Ottoman Empire! And the third part, also the troops located in the northeastern part of the Danube, should have been deliberately deployed in order to prepare for a possible surprise attack by the Austrian Empire! In short, now the Russian Empire is attacking in all directions in the Near East, but each of them cannot form an advantageous situation! Therefore, our proposal is generally to reinforce the defending forces of Silistra with a small number of troops, to use the powerful fleet of Britain and France to destroy the point to lead the navy in the port of Odessa, and then to use the landing force to make a landing attempt to cut off the supply of the Danube Russian Empire!

If you can't get to Odessa, you can also consider landing in the Sevastopol fortress! ”

With that, Neielle glanced at the audience.

Jérôme, who sat next to Baron Raglan. Bonaparte whispered what Baron Raglan thought.
