Chapter 593 "Victory Day" Speech

"Long live the Empire, long live Bonaparte, long live Franco-British friendship! Long live the Franco-Austrian friendship! ”

Amid the deafening shouts of the soldiers, the French Emperor Jérôme. Bonaparte, dressed in a sky-blue breasted lev gown, a cocker hat, and a red ribbon over his shoulders, met with Prince Albert and his wife, Franz. Joseph, as well as King Wilhelm I of Württemberg, Archduke (Regent) Friedrich I of Baden, high-ranking officers, foreign envoys slowly walked to the parade stand.

When Jérôme. Shortly after Bonaparte and others arrived at the parade stand, Jérôme. The sound of a cannon salute sounded in the Place de la Concorde, not far from Bonaparte, which represented the official beginning of the parade from this moment.

As the preparer of this military parade, General Nière, who is also the protagonist of this military parade, and is also the protagonist of this military parade, puffed up his chest, walked out of the officer corps column of the parade, strode to the parade platform, and paid tribute to Jérôme. Bonaparte reported aloud the numbers of the troops under review, and the "glorious achievements" of their companies and regiments (the vast majority of which were founded by the First Empire. )

Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded solemnly to Niel, who returned to the officer corps.

"Long live the Empire! Long live France! ”

Once again, the soldiers cheered for France, and the cheers continued for a moment, as Jérôme, who was standing on the parade stand. Bonaparte waved his hand gently, and the commander of the formation immediately ordered his soldiers to stop cheering, and every phalanx fell silent.

Whether it was the citizens of Paris outside the walls, the soldiers in the phalanx, or the invited spectators, everyone looked at Jérôme on the parade stand. Bonaparte, waiting for Jérôme. Bonaparte gave a speech.

In this silence, Jérôme. Bonaparte said with a solemn face: "Dear French citizens! Dear veteran! Warriors, sailors! Sergeants and warrant officers, generals and marshals, and all the guests invited to the parade!

I would like to express my sincerest thanks to all of you!

At a time when the peace of Europe was violated, and when the security of France was being challenged like never before, it was you who stood up and fought with the Britons, the Austrians, and the Prussians (the Prussian minister breathed a sigh of relief) for the peace of Europe, for the prosperity and stability of France.

From the landing at Varna to the attack on Silistra, to Yevpatoria and Sevastopol fighting nearby enemies, I saw the French, the Britons, the Sardinians (Cavour with an agitated expression), and the bravery of the Turks...... I saw the Austrian Empire rushing to restore peace in Europe at stake. Although they ultimately failed, they still have the highest respect for them.

It is thanks to the synergy of many European countries that our Europe can welcome true peace. In them I see a dream, a dream of the United States of Europe, in which all countries are equal and reciprocal, tolerant and restrained, working together for a permanent peace in Europe, and I myself have always believed in this.

That is why, despite the constant divisions in European relations, France has always favoured an equal, secure and indivisible system that is essential to European relations.

In April this year, together with the Kingdom of Britain and the Austrian Empire, I signed an agreement on security guarantees for the Ottoman Empire (Quadripartite Talks).

Although the French Empire was already at war with the Russian Empire, I still believe that Nicholas I of the Russian Empire was willing to reach a consensus with us before the war expanded. We will engage in a sincere dialogue based on the interests of each other and seek appropriate solutions.

And yet all in vain. The fact that the Russian Empire has turned a deaf ear to the goodwill unleashed by us shows that they are still very aggressive towards our friend, the Ottoman Empire.

They wanted to complete Peter I's blueprint on access to the sea by occupying the Danube principalities, Bulgaria, Serbia, and even Constantinople...... The Slavic bandits, represented by Nicholas I, are actively expanding our neighboring regions!

In this way, they systematically pose an unacceptable threat to peace in Europe, and we can only be forced to counterattack it. ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte spoke to the soldiers and citizens present with a hint of melancholy and anguish, as if this war was not intended to be waged by the French Empire, but a war imposed on France by the Russian Empire, which was acting on the Crimean peninsula only for self-preservation.

"Today's military parade is not for the sake of war, but for the sake of peace, we desire peace, we are not afraid of war, and any country that attempts in any way to threaten French territory and undermine peace in Europe will inevitably be resisted by France and other European countries.

Here, I sincerely hope to join hands with European countries, including Russia, to jointly maintain peace, resolve disputes in a peaceful way, and create a better future together!

Long live the Empire! Long live peace! ”

"Long live the Empire, long live peace!"

Jérôme. Bonaparte was like a trumpet for a charge, and the phalanx soldiers near the Arc de Triomphe also cheered, and the bayonets on the Minnes rifles behind them gave off a dazzling chill in the sunlight, making people daunting.

When Jérôme. After Bonaparte's speech, the phalanx, led by the commander, walked across the parade stand to the head of Jérôme. Bonaparte shouted the slogan "Long live the Empire" and raised his bayonet in his hand as a sign of respect for Jérôme. Bonaparte's respect.

Jérôme. Bonaparte also took off his Napoleonic hat from his head and waved it lightly in the air.

A team of phalanxes walked by, and soon came to the last phalanx.

Franz. Joseph's expression also changed from indifference to consternation, and then to anxiety...... There was even a hint of anger.

Stand Franz. Prince Albert, next to Joseph, was seeing Franz. After Joseph's expression changed, the corners of his mouth involuntarily showed a smile.

Franz. Joseph's expression was exactly what he wanted to see, and now the Austrian Empire may not be able to wash it clean by jumping into the Yellow River.

When Franz. When the news of Joseph's attendance at the parade and the review of prisoners of war from the Russian Empire with Britain and France reached the Russian Empire, the Russian Empire was bound to send Franz to the Russian Empire. Joseph was an accomplice of Britain and France.

According to Prince Albert's understanding of Nicholas I, Nicholas I must have been annoyed by the entry of the Austrian Empire into the battlefield, and it may be difficult for the Austrian Empire to maintain its neutrality, even if it is only superficial.

And located in Franz. There was also a commotion in the "observation group" behind Joseph. Metternich smiled wryly at the same time, they could not have imagined that Britain and France would not hesitate to use this method in order to completely worsen the contradictions between the Austrian Empire and the Russian Empire.

Aren't they afraid that the mad Nicholas I will chase and beat them fiercely, even to the death!

When the prisoners of war in gray uniforms appeared on the parade stand, Jérôme. Bonaparte did not take off his hat, but quietly watched the departure of this Slavic army that had "come from afar" from Sevastopol.

After the parade, Jérôme. Bonaparte also invited all the soldiers participating in the parade to a feast in an open field in the western suburbs of Paris.

Jérôme. Bonaparte also took the opportunity to "dump" Prince Albert and others (Prince Albert and others were killed by Jérôme. Bonaparte assigned the carriage to pull it to its destination, Jérôme. Bonaparte walked to his destination on foot with the commander and the soldiers), came to the commander who participated in the parade and talked with the soldiers, and said a few witty words to them, which caused the whole team to laugh, and also asked some of the generals he personally promoted to say two intimate words, the army and Jérôme. Bonaparte was as close as a family.

And Jérôme. Bonaparte's interaction with his intimacy happened to be in the eyes of Queen Victoria and his wife, who were passing by in a horse-drawn carriage!

"Jérôme. Bonaparte, this guy, really! Queen Victoria, who was sitting in the carriage, whispered to Albert about Jérôme. Bonaparte: "He just left us in the carriage while he talked with the soldiers...... I really don't know, what's so good about those Qiu Ba! ”

"My dear, Jérôme. Bonaparte is different from us! His empire was built under the auspices of this group of hiunds, which is why he went to great lengths to please them! Prince Albert gently stroked Victoria's hair, and replied to Victoria in a soft voice, "Still, I admire him!" ”

"What do you admire about him?" Queen Victoria asked suspiciously.

"I admire his ability to lay down his body and communicate with soldiers and officers on a relatively equal footing, but the Britons have never been able to do anything like them!" Prince Albert said with a sigh to Queen Victoria.

Victoria knew, and Albert thought about the cold reception he had received in the Kingdom of Britain.

The arrogance of the Anglo-Saxons in their bones made them look down on everyone but themselves, and even though his husband had shown them his abilities, they still thought that Albert had come to the British...... The attacks on Albert never stopped for a moment.

"A son-in-law is always a nuisance character, especially a German prince like me, and a casual grab is a lot of ......," Albert continued to show Queen Victoria his weak side.
