"Allah is above! What is that! ”

As a heavily armed "steel beast" slowly sailed into the military port of Constantinople, the Ottoman residents who observed the situation in the distance through the window let out an exclamation, this ship was a brand new warship they had never seen before, the steel shell emitted a metallic luster in the sunlight, and from a distance it looked like a very aggressive tiger, and the wooden battleship moored in the military port was like a docile sheep compared to it, and it was possible to be killed by the tiger at any time.

Of course, it was not only the residents near the military port who were surprised, but also Abdul Sultan and the Admiralsios Mahmud and Mustafa who stood near the port wharf. Prime Minister Réchid, and a group of people who came to the military port to greet the French Emperor Jérôme. Bonaparte's high-ranking Ottoman officials and soldiers also showed expressions of surprise and even fear.

"Generalissimo Mahmood, what the hell is this monster?" Abdul Sultan asked Generalissimo Mahmud beside him in a trembling tone with a hint of excitement.

As the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, he "loved" the ironclad ship at first sight, and steel and guns are the things that all military enthusiasts (rowed away) love.

When the two are combined, the resulting "chemical reaction" is not greater than one.

In particular, the current Ottoman Empire happened to be in a state of no ships available.

"Your Majesty, I don't know!" Generalissimo Mahmoud also looked at the ironclad ship in front of him in confusion, he didn't understand why this lump of iron was able to float on the sea, whether it was because of the steam engine.

At the moment, Generalissimo Mahmoud could not answer, and Abdul had to turn his gaze to Ambassador Valewski and others on the other side.

Abdul came to Walevsky's face despite the strange eyes of the others, and asked Valevsky with a serious expression: "Ambassador Valewski, what kind of ship is this ship?" ”

Valevsky was stunned for a few seconds, and then replied to Abdul Sultan: "Your Majesty, this is a ship made of iron, and its defense is a hundred times stronger than that of a wooden ship!" ”

"A ship made of iron?" Abdul Sultan asked in an excited tone: "I don't know, the French Empire is willing to sell ......"

Valewski shook his head and replied to Abdul Sultan: "It's a pity! Your Majesty, this ship is our latest development, so it can't be sold in a short period of time! ”

"Can I book in advance?" Abdul Sultan couldn't suppress the affection in his heart.

"This ......" Valevsky hesitated for a moment, he understood that the order in front of him was simply given to him for nothing, in order not to lose the order, he decided to promise Abdul first: "This problem, I need to return to the Admiralty!" If they agree......"

"Can't your emperor decide this?" Abdul Sultan asked suspiciously.

"Absolutely!" Valewski replied decisively, "His Majesty the Emperor Jérôme is the supreme being of the entire French Empire!" No one dared to disobey him! ”

"Then if I go and ask him, it should be fine!" Abdul Sultan responded to Valewski.

"If Your Majesty promises you, then you will be able to succeed!" Valevsky replied to Abdul Sultan.

Abdul nodded, then returned to his original position.

Under the watchful eyes of Abdul Sultan and others, the ironclad ship slowly docked and stopped.

When the ironclad ship was completely docked in the military port of Constantinople, a wooden staircase was slowly lowered from the ironclad.

Under the salty sea breeze, Jérôme. Bonaparte and Richard. Metternich appears.

"Raise the flag! Played! The attendant beside the statue of Abdul Sultan gave the order.

The chamberlain trotted up to the court band and shouted in Greek like a court band: "Music! ”

The court band, having received the order, immediately began to play Jerome. Bonaparte's favorite "La Marseillaise".

At the same time, a red, white and blue eagle flag symbolizing the French Empire and a crescent moon flag symbolizing the Ottoman Empire were held aloft by the standard-bearer.

At this time now Jérôme on the wooden staircase. Bonaparte's eyes were fixed on the crescent moon and eagle flag raised high in the distance, and listening to the "Marseillaise" in the distance. Metternich said: "I guess it must have been Valewski who told them the news of my arrival in Constantinople!" Okay now, tomorrow...... No, it should be said that soon all of Europe will know that I am in Constantinople! ”

"This is Mr. Valewski's duty!" Richard. Metternich vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte replied.

"That's right!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded, then slowly descended the stairs.

Richard. Metternich also followed Jérôme. Bonaparte went down together, and while in Richard. Metternich was also followed by a group of sailors with rifles on his back.

When Jérôme. After Bonaparte reached the last step, the magnificent Marseillaise ended.

In its place was the Ottoman national anthem, Abdul. Mejid March", the tune of the whole song is closer to the classical tone of the East, long and soft.

"My friend, welcome to Constantinople!" Abdul. Mejid came to Jérôme. Bonaparte enthusiastically in front of Jérôme. Bonaparte shook hands.

"I am honored to be able to visit Constantinople!" Jérôme. Bonaparte's face showed a smile and he felt Abdullah in front of him as the Xinjiang kebab uncle. Mejid replied, "I hope my sudden visit will not be difficult for you and your subjects!" ”

"How is that possible! My friend! "Abdul. Mejid a mouthful of Bijerome. Bonaparte also had a standard Parisian accent in response to Jérôme. Bonaparte said, "You were the first European monarch to visit us...... We warmly welcome every European monarch to visit us! It's just that they don't want you to come to visit us like this! ”

Abdul, who has long been ostracized by mainstream European countries. Mejid excitedly to Jérôme. Bonaparte's response, in his eyes, Jérôme. Bonaparte's visit to the Ottoman Empire represented the gradual acceptance of the Ottoman symbol by mainstream European society.

"Their reluctance to come is a mistake on their part!" Jérôme. Bonaparte vs. Abdul. Mejid responded, "Here I can clearly feel the breath of Rome (the wrath of the Spirits)!" You have the wisdom of Eastern civilization (referring to the phantom god of civil war), and you are also about to learn the skills of our Western civilization (it is better to buy than to build), I believe that sooner or later, you and your empire will be able to stand up again! ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte's praise made Abdul. Majid was overjoyed, and he himself was very interested in Jérôme. Bonaparte's favorability also followed Jérôme. Bonaparte's praise rose.

"My friend, you are the first monarch to praise us!" Abdul. Megid excitedly said to Jérôme. Bonaparte said: "For a long time before you, we suffered from too many misunderstandings! Many people think we are barbaric, but in fact we are not! We are human beings, just like you! We want to improve ...... too."

Abdul. The more Mejid spoke, the more agitated he became, as if he wanted to tear the whole world apart.

"My friend, you don't have to!" Jérôme. Bonaparte immediately reassured, "When I first became Emperor of the French Empire, I received not much more vilification than you and your empire!" They call me a tyrant and think that my empire exists to destroy Europe! But in reality, my empire and I are at war with you to defend peace and order in Europe! Without us and the Kingdom of Britain, the whole of Europe would have fallen into the Dark Ages surrounded by the Slavs!

At that point, everything will no longer be free! ”

"Yes! We are defending all of Europe! "Abdul. Mejid also made himself part of Europe.

Although the territory of the Ottoman Empire in Asia and the Middle East was much larger than that of his territory in Europe, this did not prevent him from considering the Ottoman Empire a "pure" European country.

They're much better than Egypt, Tunisia, and the like!

"It is also normal for the Ottoman Empire to be misunderstood! After all, many people did not come to this country at all, and they could only rely on books for information about the Ottoman Empire, and many of the authors of those so-called books did not live here at all! The reader believed their out-of-tune words and became disgusted with the Ottoman Empire! "Jérôme. Bonaparte put on a posture of "no one knows Europe better than I do": "I myself am a pragmatist and do not believe in the words of the so-called impostors, so I would like to know the Ottoman Empire for myself!" ”

"My friend! I'm really touched that you were able to come to the Ottoman Empire! "Abdul. Mejid vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte swore an oath: "Believe that the enthusiasm of the subjects of the Ottoman Empire will not be lost to that of the French Empire!" ”

Subsequently, Abdul. Mejid is again Jérôme. Bonaparte introduced Generalissimo Mahmoud, Prime Minister Rechid, Jérôme. Bonaparte asked where Rifat Pasha was now and why he had not been seen here.

Prime Minister Reheid was embarrassed by Jérôme. Bonaparte replied that Rifaat Pasha was now idle at home and did not come to the welcoming ceremony.

"That's a shame!" Jérôme. Bonaparte pretended to sigh and exclaimed, "Rifart is really a rare talent!" ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! Prime Minister Reshi nodded in response.
