However, Jérôme. Bonaparte thought again.

The achievements of the French Empire in ironclad ships do not seem to have allowed France to maintain its advantage for long.

The ironclad is not like a nuclear bomb, you can build it a year faster than the opponent, and you will be able to sustain the offensive for a year.

Jérôme. Bonaparte had reason to believe that the Kingdom of Britain would be able to create an ironclad ship with better performance than the "Friendship" in one to two years.

After all, the shipbuilding industry of the Kingdom of Britain threw off France by a large margin, and all the navies, including Chancellor Dieco, had to admit the achievements of the Kingdom of Britain in the navy.

Rather than maintaining an advantage for a year or two, it is better to work with the Kingdom of Britain to develop ironclad ships, and by the way, absorb the technology of British shipbuilding.

France provided the advanced technology of ironclads, and Britain had to provide some equivalent technology.

In addition, France is a continental country, and the center of gravity has always been on the European continent, and the navy does not need or have the ability to challenge the Kingdom of Britain in the short term.

……

Abdul at this time. Mejid I did not know that in this short period of time, Jérôme. Bonaparte actually thought so much.

Now he is still waiting for Jérôme with hope. Bonaparte's reply.

"You want ironclads too?" Jérôme came to his senses. Bonaparte still smiled at Abdul. Mejid I asked.

"Yes!" Abdul. Mejid I nodded, "The Ottomans lost too many ships in the last naval battle, so we must replenish new ships!" Only in this way will the Ottoman Empire be able to maintain the balance of power with the Russian Empire on the Black Sea! ”

"You don't need an ironclad then!" Jérôme. Bonaparte shrugged his shoulders and said, "Today's Russian imperial fleet is almost wiped out by us!" ”

"The Russian Empire will continue to build!" Abdul. Mejid I hurriedly said.

"Rest assured, after this battle! I guarantee that all the docks of the Russian Empire in the Black Sea region will be dismantled! "Jérôme. Bonaparte vs. Abdul. Mejid I assured.

This is under Abdul. Mejid I, it seems, had no reason to buy ironclads from France.

"But if you really want it, that's fine!" Jérôme. Bonaparte turned to Abdul. "But you'll need to prepare something!" ”

"What's that?" Abdul. Mejid I's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"Ironclads are different from previous wooden warships, their internal structure is more complex! You should know that the more complex you are, the harder it is to repair! You can't always pull the ship down and repair it! "Jérôme. Bonaparte seems to be working for Abdul. For the sake of Mejid I.

Abdul. Mejid I nodded subconsciously.

"So my suggestion is that you build a repair shop first, and then think about the ironclad!" Jérôme. Bonaparte vs. Abdul. Mejid I responded.

"How should I build it!" Abdul. Mejid I asked Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"I'll go back and ask the Admiralty to give you a list, and you can just buy according to the list!" Jérôme. Bonaparte vs. Abdul. Mejid I said.

"That boat ......" Abdul. Mejid I asked.

"How many are you going to have?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Abdul. Mejid I said.

“3…… Oh no! Preferably 5 ships! "Abdul. Mejid I stretched out five fingers to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"5 ships? That's a big job! I'll do the math for you, now our shipyard can only build one ship a year at full capacity (in fact, it can be two a year), and you ask for 5 at once, which is equivalent to the shipyard needs to build your ship for five years! ”

Jérôme at this time. Bonaparte was like a calculating businessman, and he worked with Abdel Bush one by one. "And the cost of an ironclad ship is about 2 million pounds, and I'm afraid your finances may not be able to afford it......"

When Abdul. Mejid heard Jérôme. After Bonaparte reported the figures, he couldn't help but gasp, he never thought that the cost of an ironclad ship would be so expensive.

"So I still recommend that you buy an ironclad ship, and then pair it with a few newly developed (wooden) battleships!" Jérôme. Bonaparte vs. Abdul. Mejid I said: "With this, you can completely stop being afraid of Russia!" When the time comes, you can also send the Navy to shell Odessa! ”

Abdul. Mejid I nodded subconsciously, but he didn't know that he had now fallen into Jérôme. Bonaparte's Trap!

Although the era of ironclads has not yet come completely, Jérôme. Bonaparte also had to hurry up and staging all the wooden battleships on hand (considering that the vast majority of countries except England and France were poor ghosts, Jérôme. Bonaparte defaulted to installments. Sell it out.

Once the era of ironclads has fully arrived, the battleships in the hands of the French Empire will become ornamental toys.

The Ottoman Empire was naturally the best target for sale.

Not only that, Jérôme. Bonaparte also considered asking Alexander II if he needed ships to secure the Baltic Sea after the war, and if so, Russia would also be a good partner to work with.

Eventually Abdul. Mejid I agreed with Jérôme. Bonaparte's opinion was that the Ottoman Empire would order five battleships from the French Empire, four of which were sail battleships and one of which were ironclads.

Considering that the Ottoman Empire itself was not financially adequate, Jérôme. Bonaparte again asked Abdul. Mejid I lent a loan at an interest rate of % per annum.

As to why it is said that % this is of course Jérôme. Bonaparte's own bad taste.

This interest rate is a conscience price compared to the British loans to the Ottoman Empire.

Of course, no matter how good your conscience is, it is a loan that needs to be repaid.

For Abdul. The ambitions of the fleet of Mejid I were paid for by the citizens of the entire Ottoman Empire.

Subsequently, Jérôme. Bonaparte and Abdul. Mejid I again began discussions about the Balkans.

Abdul. Mejid I cryptically addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte expressed his displeasure with the Kingdom of Greece and told Jérôme that he had told Jérôme. Bonaparte, the Duchy of Montenegro, and Serbia were still in a stage of death, and it seemed that behind these stragglers was the support of the state, and they found in one of their captives that many of the captives were of Greek ethnicity.

"You mean the Kingdom of Greece is behind them?" Jérôme. Bonaparte gently rubbed his cuffs and spoke in a nonchalant tone to Abdul. Mejid I said.

"Probably!" Abdul. Mejid I did not dare to speak too hard.

The current Kingdom of Greece has fallen into the lap of the French Empire. Mejid I was not sure whether France would favor the Kingdom of Greece at all.

If the Greek kingdom is not behind France, Abdul. Mejid I had already ordered his army to crush the "volunteers" of the Greek kingdom, and then sent people to ask for the guilt.

"I'll send someone to ask about the Kingdom of Greece!" Jérôme. Bonaparte thought about Abdul. Mejid I responded.

If he remembers correctly, the current king of the Greek kingdom is Otto I of the Wittelsbach dynasty.

This man is also a man of great ambition and talent, as a king, he does not want to unite his subjects, but opposes his subjects everywhere.

Faced with the Orthodox Church, which made up the vast majority of Greece, Otto was not even willing to pretend to convert.

It was such a person that the subjects of Greece were able to allow him to extend the notice until 1862.

If it were a different approach to France, Otto's operation would have been a direct reference to the treatment of escaping the following year.

No other nation in Europe is more difficult to govern than the Parisians.

Their spirit of rebellion made Jérôme. While Bonaparte admired, he also made him gnash his teeth.

In the face of this group of guys who live out the value of the united front, Jérôme. All Bonaparte could do was to carry out reform and redistribution at a time when the whole society was about to stir up discontent!

Even if this road is a hundred times more difficult than simply becoming an emperor, he has to grit his teeth and persevere!

Who made him stand on the Parisian populace!

Then again, Jérôme. Bonaparte would also not have been able to blockade the Kingdom of Greece outright, which would only cause them to fall to the Kingdom of Britain.

And Jérôme. Bonaparte himself also needed to make overtures to the Wittelsbach family.

The Kingdom of Prussia was France's henchman, and Bavaria was France's most suitable-stirring stick in Germany.

For a long time, the Kingdom of Bavaria has played the role of a qualified German-stirrer.

Only Germany has completely muddied the waters, Jérôme. Bonaparte was able to catch fish in the murky waters.

Of course, these are all things for later.

Jérôme. Bonaparte planned to send people first to give a serious warning.

If the Kingdom of Greece is really obsessed, Jérôme. Bonaparte tacitly assumed that the Greeks who appeared in the Balkans were to be hanged.

Then let the Kingdom of Britain play the role of the villain, completely blocking the coastline of the Kingdom of Greece, so that they have to submit.

For Jérôme. Bonaparte, for example, was somewhat out of his mind when Otto wanted to expand at this time, and he really thought that everyone was the Austrian Empire.

[PS: Actually, Otto I was moved by the wrong mind after seeing that the Austrian Empire occupied the Danube Principality and had the endorsement of France, and they also wanted to get on the bus first and make up the ticket. 】

In Jérôme. Bonaparte and Abdul. After the conversation between Mejid I, the feast began as night fell.
