"Now return to the embassy and report the fall of Sevastopol to Paris!"

On the orders of Ambassador Valewski, the second secretary of the embassy, Klein, turned and left.

Before Klein could take two more steps towards the gate of the hospital, Brigadier General Trochu's voice came from behind Crane: "Wait! ”

"Brigadier General Trochu, what do you command?" Klein turned to Brigadier General Trochu and asked.

"Could you please make an extra trip and bring this news to Ambassador Strathford at the British Embassy?" Brigadier General Trochu explained to Klein: "This is what the marshal promised Commander Raglan of the British Expeditionary Force when he was in Sevastopol!" One more thing, General Pelisier was also the commander of the operation, so ......"

"I see!" Klein nodded in response to Brigadier General Trochu and turned to leave the military hospital.

……

Leaving the military hospital, Klein casually beckoned a carriage and got on it, and the chariot drove Klein all the way through the streets of Constantinople, and soon returned to the door of the French embassy.

Crane, who got out of the carriage, took a silver coin from his jacket pocket and threw it to the charioteer, then turned to leave.

"Master, I haven't looked for your money yet!" The chauffeur shouted at Crane.

"No need!" Crane waved his hand behind him and entered the French embassy.

"What a generous man!" The chariot couldn't help but sigh, and then drove the carriage out of the French embassy.

Klein, who entered the embassy, immediately ran to the telegraph room on the second floor of the embassy, and when he pushed open the door of the telegraph room, he said to the dispatcher who had been squatting in the telegraph room all day: "Now send a telegram to Marseille at once, the telegram reads: The gallant and fearless French army is in Jérôme. The wise leadership of His Majesty Bonaparte, in St. Bonaparte. Under the wise command of Marshal Arnault and General Pellisier, Sevastopol has now been occupied, long live France! Long live the Empire! ”

As soon as Crane's words fell, the two telegraph operators looked at Crane in surprise.

"What's wrong? Send a report! Watch what I'm doing! Crane replied loudly to the telegraph operator.

The telegraph operator turned around and began to deliver the message, and the whole telegraph room resounded with the sound of "tick-tock".

After a while, the two telegraph operators stopped their movements and said to Klein, "All right! ”

"That's right! And St. Marshal Arno has now been admitted to the Constantinople Military District Hospital! This is also the content to be sent! Klein hurriedly added to the two telegraph operators.

"Yes!"

The conscientious telegraph operator conveyed to Marseille what Klein had said, word for word.

After doing all this, Klein turned around and left the French embassy, and he had to report the news again to the British ambassador Strathford.

……

When Klein came behind the gates of the British Embassy, Strathford. Canning got up from the couch to greet Klein and shook his hand.

"How are you?" Strathford. Canning asked, looking at Klein curiously.

Klein bowed to Strathford. Canning responded: "I have been instructed by Ambassador Valewski to report to you, Ambassador Canning, the news of the Crimean Peninsula!" ”

"Crimea? What's going on there? "Strathford. Canning asked Klein Dao.

Klein immediately appealed to Strathford. Canning reported where the coalition forces occupied Sevastopol.

"Really?" Strathford. Canning excitedly asked Klein, who couldn't believe how fast the Coalition forces were attacking.

"Of course!" Klein nodded firmly and said, "This is the Holy . . . The war that Marshal Arno personally transmitted, so what else can be fake? ”

"St. Marshal Arno? He came to Constantinople? "Strathford. Canning was stunned for a few seconds before asking Klein.

"This ......" Klein paused for a moment, then said with a mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth, "Secret! ”

With that, Klein got up and prepared to leave the British Embassy.

Strathford. Canning hurriedly got up and sent Klein to the gate, and Ambassador Canning, who had seen Klein leave, turned around and entered the telegraph room of the British Embassy to convey the news to the telegraph operator.

……

About an hour later, the messenger at the port of Marseille sorted out the news from Constantinople and sent it to Paris.

The dispatcher at the General Staff in Paris received two telegrams from the port of Marseille and immediately forwarded the telegrams to his superiors, who then passed on the oil to Nière, then deputy chief of the General Staff of the French General Staff.

"Prepare the carriage! I want to enter the palace! Niel, with two telegrams in his arms, hastened to order his secretary of state to prepare for him a carriage to the Tuileries Palace.

After about 10 minutes, the Secretary of State entered the door to report that the carriage was ready to leave at any time.

"Let's go!" Niel quickly got up from the chair made of pear blossom wood, walked out of the General Staff building, and entered the carriage.

The carriage carrying Brigadier General Niel headed towards the Tuileries Palace, where it soon arrived in front of the Tuileries Palace.

Niel, who got down from the carriage, happened to meet Mocal, who was walking down the steps.

"Mr. Mokal!" Niel said respectfully to the grand butler of the palace.

"General Niel, please come with me! Your Majesty is still in the study! Mokal said to Major General Niel.

Led by Mocal, Major General Niel came to the door of the study.

"Knock knock!"

After three knocks on the door, Jérôme. Bonaparte's voice appeared: "Who! ”

"Your Majesty, Chief of Staff Niel asks to see you!" Mocal vs Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"Niela! Let him in! "Jérôme. Bonaparte replied.

"Please come in! General Niel! Mocal gestured to Nielle with an inviting gesture.

Niel entered the study and saw Jérôme in the study. Bonaparte.

"Your Majesty!" Niel to Jérôme. Bonaparte bowed.

"What's going on over there at the General Staff?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Nière.

"Nope!" Niel strode to Jérôme. At Bonaparte's desk, he handed two telegrams to Jérôme. Bonaparte.

"It's ......" Jérôme. Bonaparte flipped through the contents of the two telegrams, and when he read the first, his expression changed from calm to shock.

"Is the news true?" Jérôme. Bonaparte looked up and asked.

"This is yet to be confirmed!" Niel vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte hesitated for a moment, then responded: "However, I believe that the news should be true!" ”

"It's only been about a week since the last battle! Take Sevastopol so quickly? "Jérôme. Bonaparte muttered to himself.

If his memory is not wrong, the historical fortress of Sevastopol was breached at this time next year.

Even if he strengthened the French army, he would not have won the victory so quickly!

The victory went to Jérôme. Bonaparte had an unreal feeling that he had some doubts that the French army in the Crimea had declared him victory in the war in advance.

After all, history is not without such a thing, except that it was announced in advance that the occupied country of the fortress of Sevastopol was not the French Empire, but the Kingdom of Britain.

Could it be that this time it was the turn of the French Imperial Army to release the information ahead of schedule?

Thinking of this, Jérôme. Bonaparte couldn't help but calm down a lot.

For an empire that has just been established for a short time, the most taboo thing is that the government takes the initiative to act as a spreader of rumors, and it also breaks the rumors as soon as it is poked.

Once the rumors are exposed, it will inevitably damage the government's trust in the hearts of the people.

With the collapse of the credibility of the government, the people living in the empire still lost their reverence for the government, and a government that had lost its reverence was doomed to be overthrown by the French people by violent means.

After all, Jérôme . The land at Bonaparte's feet was not Britain, known for its compromises, but France, known for its overthrow of incompetent mediocrities.

The French people have already used their strength to overthrow three monarchs (Louis XVI, Charles X, Louis. Philippe) won the unanimous "approval" of all those who wanted to ascend to the throne of France.

Even Louis XVIII, who claimed to be the orthodox Bourbon and the divine authority of the monarchy, still declared peace and healed the wounds of the past the moment he set foot on the border of France, which won the credibility of the Bourbon dynasty.

Of course, the credibility of the Bourbons gradually zeroed out after the six years of profligacy of Charles X, and then was overthrown.

Jérôme. Bonaparte knew that the foundations of the empire he had built might not be as strong as Louis XVIII's, and that the opposition members within the empire suffered from Jérôme. Bonaparte ruthlessly suppressed and co-opted, but there were still many undercurrents beneath the calm of Paris, and they were undoubtedly opposed to Jérôme. Bonaparte's diehards.

After the start of the Crimean War, many people were secretly attacking Jérôme. The reason why Bonaparte started the Crimean War was simply to curry favor with the Kingdom of Britain with the blood of the French people.

There are even some vicious guys, and even Jérôme. Bonaparte himself was a puppet of the Kingdom of Britain, and his every move was at the mercy of Britain.

If it had not been for the victory in the Battle of Arma, which came from the Crimean side some time ago, then this vicious attack would have only grown.

Due to the phased victory in the Battle of Arma, the empire was able to carry out a precise attack on the "handful" of rumormongers in the empire with the power of a great victory.

Many of the guys who secretly walked the rumors were Jérôme. Bonaparte was sent directly into debt prison.

This time if the news is true, for Jérôme. Bonaparte's prestige helped a lot.

On the other hand, if it is false news, I am afraid that the undercurrent that has been difficult to contain will surge again.
