"It is an honour for me to be able to visit this ancient and great country on behalf of the French Empire, and when I first set foot in this country, I immediately felt a very different feeling from the French Empire.

It was here that the wisdom of the East and the ideas of the West converged, and a great city of Constantinople was born.

In this diverse city, I saw Arabs and Greeks supporting each other; Seeing the peaceful coexistence of ***, Orthodox and Catholic here, this scene of harmony is a scene that I will never see in Europe; Because there are still many countries in Europe that persecute and fight against each other because of religious issues!

Although we have the thinking of Socrates, Rousseau and others, we lack the wisdom of the East......"

Jérôme standing at the port terminal. Bonaparte was written in Greek (Jérôme. It is true that Bonaparte did not speak Turkish, but he could speak Greek. Greek is second only to Turkish in Constantinople, so many of the inhabitants of Constantinople can understand a word or two of Greek) gushing as if "no one knows the Ottoman Empire better than I do": "In my present homeland, there is such a thing as a close connection between people, nothing more than going through the window together, prostituting together (some Wahhabi imams in the crowd frowned slightly), sharing dirt together, and carrying guns together.

Now our army and your army are fighting on the Crimean peninsula for Turkey and Europe. The relationship between our two countries is that we are comrades-in-arms in the same trench together.

Comrades-in-arms and comrades-in-arms should support and help each other, so as to achieve the goal of common progress.

Therefore, I believe that the relationship between the French Empire and the Ottoman Empire will be able to reach a new level on the road ahead!

The future of the Ottoman Empire would be as good as that of the French Empire. Even if our two countries will face ups and downs in the future, I believe that we will be able to get out of the predicament and move towards success! Thank you! ”

Jérôme. As soon as Bonaparte's words fell, Abdul. Mejid immediately took the lead in applauding, and the surrounding officials, soldiers, and even the public also spontaneously responded to Jérôme. Bonaparte's speech was applauded.

The applause went on and on, and the residents standing at the docks and windows of the harbor never imagined that there would really be a foreign monarch to praise them.

The Ottoman Empire, which had long been oppressed by the Russian Empire, had long been accustomed to all kinds of insults. If Bonaparte did not insult them directly, they were already happy, let alone praise and the like.

No imaginary imams could have imagined that anyone would compliment them, Jérôme. Bonaparte's words were like a small sapling dying of a sudden spring rain.

The feeling was even more refreshing than eating hibiscus, so when the translator took Jérôme. After Bonaparte's words were repeated again in Turkic, even the imams, who were disgusted with foreign monarchs, were very fond of Jérôme. Bonaparte was disgusted, and even the thought in their hearts that someone finally understood them.

Hence Jérôme. Bonaparte's first impression of Constantinople was one of completely positive.

After a while, the applause gradually stopped. Mejid also spoke: "I am very grateful to my friend Jérôme. The arrival of the Emperor Bonaparte!

It turns out that the relationship between France and the Haussmann will not be lost over time, but will become stronger with the passage of time.

I hope my friend has a great trip to Constantinople! ”

Abdul. After Mejid finished speaking, Jérôme. Bonaparte also took the lead in applauding.

The new army, which was in charge of blockading the port terminals, also shouted three times in French and Turkic, "Long live Franco-Turkish friendship!" ”

Subsequently, Abdul. Mejidra Jerrome. Bonaparte's hand ached, and together he got into a gilded carriage that symbolized the rights of the Ottoman sultans.

Abdul inside the carriage. Mejid lowered the curtain slowly, and when he looked in from the outside, he could only see a vague outline.

Mahmoud, Reshid...... and members of the delegation of the French embassy also got into the carriage, which carried them to Topkapi Palace.

"Your Majesty's speeches are becoming more and more proficient!" Valewski, who leaned his body against the carriage, couldn't help but sigh, and then looked at Klein, who was pondering: "Klein, what's wrong with you?" ”

Crane, who heard Ambassador Valewski's shout, immediately reacted, and he shook his head to the question, and Ambassador Valewski replied, "No...... It's nothing? ”

"Nothing? How could it be that your absent-minded appearance just now was nothing? Walewski replied to Klein.

"Your Excellency Valewski, I ......" Klein wanted to say something, but he couldn't.

"What are you?" Walewski looked at Crane curiously, and then encouraged Crane to tell him what was in his mind.

"Your Excellency Valewski, why did Your Majesty come to Constantinople?" Klein asked Valewski, "There's no need for him to come in person!" ”

"You don't understand that! His Majesty's character has always been a couple lobster who can do it himself, and he will never leave it to anyone else to do it! Walewski said to Klein: "I guess the reason why His Majesty came in person may be because he himself wants to come out and take a walk!" ”

"Ahh Klein looked at Valewski in surprise, judging by his expression. He seemed to have some disbelief in Walewski's speculation.

"What's there to shout about!" Valevsky shrugged his shoulders and said to Klein: "Your Majesty is also human!" He couldn't just stay in the Tuileries Palace, so it made sense to take this opportunity to come here!

And Klein, you have to get ready! ”

Looking at Valewski's serious face, Klein's heart was also inexplicably nervous: "Your Excellency, what do I have to prepare?" ”

"Prepare for the meeting with His Majesty the Emperor!" Valewski shrugged his shoulders and lowered his voice to Klein: "His Majesty the Emperor is likely to ask you some questions about the Holy Land and the Syrian Province, and you can answer truthfully when the time comes!" If you're lucky, you might just become a consul in the Holy Land! ”

"Me? Consul in the Holy Land? Klein subconsciously swallowed, now he is nothing more than Ambassador Valewski's secretary, and the position of consul is too far away from him!

"But you can only become a French citizen, and you may not be old enough! When the time comes, I am afraid that there will be an ambassador from Paris who will take up the position of consul of the Holy Land, this consul is only a false position that acts as a face, and you will become the real uncrowned king of the Holy Land!! Walewski paused, then asked Klein, "By the way, would you like to become a French citizen?" ”

"Of course I do!" Klein replied decisively that it was worth it to change one nationality to get a consular position.

"As long as you are willing to become a French citizen, then everything is well solved!" Jérôme. Bonaparte sighed and sighed: "When the time comes, I will be able to return to Paris with peace of mind!" ”

"Ambassador, drink, you're going back to Paris!" Walewski's answer made Klein feel a little flustered, and he hurriedly asked Walewski.

"That's right!" Valewski nodded and responded: "I have been in this position for almost a year, and it is only natural for me to go back, and it is very likely that I will succeed De Leewski when I return this time. The post of Foreign Minister of Ruiz is gone! ”

Hearing that his boss was the foreign secretary, Klein breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he was not worried that he was helpless in the court.

After all, he was just an ordinary (and slightly gifted) Greek, and everything about him was from Walewski, so his relationship with Walewski was both good and bad.

No one wants Ambassador Valewski to climb to a good position more than him.

"Crane, you need to be well prepared!" Ambassador Wallewski said to Klein with a serious expression: "Your answer determines your future!" This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you, so do your best to catch him! ”

"Yes!" Klein also responded in a sonorous tone.

After a few more moments, the carriage slowly stopped.

Topkapi Palace is just around the corner.

Jérôme. Bonaparte and Abdul. The two entered Topkapi Palace, followed by Generalissimo Mahmoud and Prime Minister Rashid.

The group entered the palace in a grand manner, and a grand banquet will be held at Topkapi Palace.

And in the period before the start of the banquet, Jérôme. Bonaparte and Abdul. The two Megid need to receive greetings from dignitaries from Constantinople.

During this period, Abdul. Majid I and Jérôme. Bonaparte also talked a lot, including the issue of ironclads.

"Jérôme, your new warships of the French Empire are really very good-looking!" Abdul. Mejid I whispered to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"Thanks for the compliment!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied in a flat tone.

"I don't know, can this new warship be sold to us!" Abdul. Mejid asked Jérôme. Bonaparte, and then added: "If it doesn't work for a short time, can we make a reservation like the French Empire!" ”

Hear Abdul. Mejid's answer, Jérôme. Bonaparte subconsciously wanted to refuse, because the ironclad technology France was still in a short-term advantage stage.

Once the Ottoman order was accepted, the Kingdom of Britain would inevitably copy it as well.

At that point, their advantage ceases to exist.

However, he thought about it again......
