In Jérôme. Under Bonaparte's careful guidance, Chancellor Dick finally got the hang of it.

In Jérôme. Shortly after Bonaparte's departure, Chancellor Dicoeur contacted the French Foreign Office, hoping that it would help the Navy peddle a batch of "expired" warships.

These so-called expired warships are nominally outdated, but in fact they are only a generation lower than the ironclad ships.

No matter which country is equipped with this warship, its combat effectiveness at sea can be significantly improved.

In order to make the warships successfully sold, Minister Dick also sold some naval officers together with the fleet, and even made a "package".

At the same time, it has spent a lot of money in many countries to advocate that warships are the face of the country and that big is beautiful, and so on, which has really fooled a large number of countries that have fallen into the pit.

Therefore, many countries are willing to take out loans to buy a warship to save face, and the high naval military expenditure is also because the French Navy continues to sell warships, barely stopping the large-scale "loss".

Later generations of French people put the titles of "Father of Ironclad Ships" and "Founder of the New Navy" in Jean. Minister Dico's head.

That's where no one knows, let. The reason why Chancellor Diko came up with this solution was Jérôme. The credit of Emperor Bonaparte.

Of course, that's all for the future.

The present Chancellor Dick was still acting as a qualified listener, and he could not understand why His Majesty the Emperor had so many strange ideas in his head, which he had never heard of before.

But if you think about it, these methods seem to work.

"Your Majesty, I see what you mean!" Chancellor Diko hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte said: "You want to use the method of selling warships and earning the difference in loan prices to subsidize domestic enterprises in disguise!" ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte's face showed a "teachable" expression, and he nodded to Chancellor Dico: "That's right! We must take advantage of the fact that our economy has not yet entered a downward trend, and open up a new way of making money! Only in this way will we be able to mitigate the impact of the cessation of the war on the whole society! Do you understand what I mean? ”

"Got it!" Chancellor Diko bowed slightly to Jérôme. Bonaparte replied.

"Of course, this method only gives us a breather, the core of the empire lies in industrial upgrading and taxation!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said casually.

"Your Majesty, what is industrial upgrading?" Chancellor Diko, who had heard the term for the first time, asked Jérôme curiously. Bonaparte.

"Has the loom at the beginning of this century changed from the loom of today? What is the difference between the two? "Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Chancellor Dico.

"At the beginning of the century, the looms did not produce as much cloth per day as they do now!" Chancellor Diko replied decisively.

"You see, this is industrial upgrading!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Chancellor Dico: "With the progress of the times, the speed at which we can produce is accelerating. When the old technology cannot meet the needs of the current society, new technology will come out to replace them. Just as the railroad replaced the horse-drawn carriage, and the telegraph replaced the post station!

I bet you, in less than a decade, a whole new era will come! And the first product of the new era is to replace kerosene lamps! ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte's confident expression and speech made Chancellor Dick somewhat convinced Jérôme. Bonaparte's statement.

Perhaps His Majesty Bonaparte was like His Majesty! Chancellor Diko thought to himself.

Jérôme. After Bonaparte and Dico had some more small talk, Dico left the study.

……

When the first rays of morning light pierced the darkness, the rooster crowed, and the fog rising on the surface of the sea began to gradually dissipate.

The workers on the port docks dragged their tired bodies to get busy again, and boxes of strategic materials were transported to the cargo ships, and then sailed out of the port docks for the Crimean peninsula under the escort of warships.

And today, it is Jérôme. Bonaparte and Richard. When Metternich left Toulon for Constantinople.

Jérôme who got up early in the morning. Bonaparte was escorted by the Minister of Dick to the pier, and at this time Richard. Metternich had been waiting on the pier for some time.

When Richard. Metternich sees Jérôme. When Bonaparte was borne, a smile appeared on his serious face.

"Mr. Richard, let's go!" Jérôme. Bonaparte vs. Richard. Metternich said.

The two of them went all the way and came to the front of the "Friendship" ironclad ship faster.

The captain in charge of the reception was in sight of Jérôme. When Bonaparte arrived at the military port, he hurried to greet him personally.

"Thank you!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to the captain with a smile.

"Nope! It's not hard! The captain shook his head in response.

Jérôme. Bonaparte and Richard. Metternich boarded the boat, which was carrying Jérôme. Bonaparte Richard. Metternich arrives in the ironclad HMS Friendship.

The two men who boarded the ironclad were immediately surrounded by the sailors of the ironclad (the most important of which was Jérôme. Bonaparte), many sailors scrambled to get along with Jérôme. Bonaparte shook hands. Had it not been for the captain's angry shout to return to their posts, the sailors would have been surrounding Jérôme. Bonaparte does not go.

"Your Majesty, I'm ......" a look of shame appeared on the captain's face.

"Isn't that nice!" Jérôme. A smile appeared on Bonaparte's face, and he replied unhurriedly to the captain: "I see in them their loyalty to the Bonaparte family. This loyalty deserves to be cherished! ”

"Thank you for your magnanimity!" The captain excitedly said to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"By the way, how long do we have to leave?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked about the time of departure of the warship.

The captain told Jérôme. Bonaparte, the ironclad ship had to wait for all the cargo to be loaded onto the ship before leaving.

Of course, if Jérôme. If Bonaparte had to choose to leave now, all the members of the ironclad would have resolutely executed Jérôme. Bonaparte's command.

"Let's wait!" Jérôme. Bonaparte shook his head and refused: "I can't disrupt the whole plan of transportation!" ”

……

Nearly two hours passed, and the sun in the sky gradually moved from east to south.

"Your Majesty, all ammunition, artillery and supplies to the Crimean Peninsula are loaded! We can leave! "The captain of the ship to Jérôme. Bonaparte reported.

"Excellent! Let's go! "Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded in response.

……

As the ironclad ships began to sail away from the military port under the dual effect of the steam engine and the mast sail, the figure on the shore became more and more indistinct. Bonaparte withdrew his gaze and looked at Richard, who was on the inside of the deck. Metternich.

Now Richard. Metternich had already lived up to his previous calmness, his face turning pale with the constant movement of the ironclad, and his expression became painful.

Looking at Richard. Metternich's expression of Jérôme. Bonaparte subconsciously thought of seasickness, and he walked quickly to Richard. Metternich asked him, "How's it going?" Can it hold on? ”

"Your Majesty, I didn't ...... It's okay! "Richard. Metternich showed an expression that was even more ugly than crying, and said intermittently, "I may be a little uncomfortable away from land, this is the first time I've been away from land......"

Seeing Richard. Metternich had a dying expression, Jérôme. Bonaparte had no choice but to order the captain to send Richard. Metternich helped him into the warship, and then ordered the captain to call the ship's doctor as Richard. Metternich healed, while he himself stood on the deck and looked into the distance.

After a while, the captain came to Jérôme. Bonaparte in front of Jérôme. Bonaparte reported Richard. Metternich's situation: "Your Majesty, Ambassador Richard has taken the medicine provided by the doctor, and is now asleep. ”

"Did he get seasick or did he have some other illness......" said Jérôme. Bonaparte asked the captain.

"As things stand, Richard. Mr. Metternich is supposed to be dizzy because of seasickness for the first time! Many first-time sailors have been in this similar situation! It only takes a few days! "The captain said to Jérôme. Bonaparte replied.

The captain's words made Jérôme. Bonaparte breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he didn't want Richard. Metternich died on board.

Like Richard. A Francophile like Metternich would better live a long life.

"Okay! It's good that people are okay! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said lightly, "The food for Richard these days can be a little lighter!" ”

For the next period of time at sea, Richard. Metternich ate Jérôme at almost every meal. Bonaparte's special order of light food, his face gradually turned red.

During this time, the ironclad continued to advance and soon reached the vicinity of Constantinople.

"Your Majesty, we will bring you and Richard to the opposite port in Constantinople. Ambassador Metternich put it down! You will be greeted by a member of the French Embassy! "The captain of the ship to Jérôme. Bonaparte reported?

"Who said I was going to disembark in Constantinople?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked rhetorically.

"You didn't mean to ...... in Constantinople," the captain asked, bewildered.

"That was what I thought a few days ago, and now I only have one idea!" Jérôme. Bonaparte pointed in the direction of the Crimean Peninsula and responded to the captain: "That is to go to the Crimean Peninsula!" ”

"Crimea?" The captain heard Jérôme. After Bonaparte's words, he shook his head desperately and refused: "Your Majesty, for your safety! I had to park the ship in Constantinople! ”
