"Long time no see! Commander Raglan! "Jérôme. Bonaparte looked at Marshal Raglan with a smile, "Maybe I should call you Marshal Raglan!" ”

"Your Majesty, you can call me whatever you want!" Marshal Raglan straightened up and addressed Jérôme without humility or arrogance. Bonaparte said.

"Let's call it Marshal Raglan!" Jérôme. Bonaparte stretched out his hand and invited Raglan to sit down: "Marshal Raglan, please be seated!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Marshal Raglan to Jérôme. After Bonaparte saluted, he sat down on his left hand.

Subsequently, Jérôme. Bonaparte also invited the Sardinian Minister of War, Ra. Marshal Malamoor sat on the opposite side with the Ottoman Omar Pasha.

When everyone was seated, Jérôme. Bonaparte bluntly asked Marshal Raglan: "Marshal Raglan, I guess you have come this time not just to visit me!" ”

Marshal Raglan for Jérôme. Bonaparte was surprised by his bluntness.

However, since His Majesty the Emperor had already said so, Raglan did not want to follow the example of the ministers in the British Cabinet.

Field Marshal Raglan bowed his head slightly and told Jérôme. Bonaparte, the purpose of his visit this time was in addition to for Jérôme. In addition to bringing greetings and blessings from the British troops, Bonaparte also tactfully inquired about Jérôme on behalf of the British army. When did Bonaparte leave the Crimean peninsula.

"The purpose of my trip is not only to award medals to the heroes of the Crimean Peninsula, but also to give spiritual encouragement to the soldiers on the front line!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said: "So, in a short time, I will not leave the Crimean peninsula!" ”

"Then I wish your Majesty a pleasant journey in Crimea!" Marshal Raglan against Jérôme. Bonaparte said, with a hint of grumbling in his words.

Subsequently, Jérôme. Bonaparte with Marshal Raglan, La. Marshal Malamore, and Omar Pasha chatted for a long time, and Marshal Raglan and others asked Jérôme. Bonaparte said goodbye.

Looking at the departing back of Marshal Raglan, Jérôme. A sneer appeared on Bonaparte's face, and he muttered quietly, "It seems that some people don't want me to stay here!" ”

As soon as he returned to the British barracks, he was surrounded by the Duke of Cambridge and others, who asked Marshal Raglan about the fact that Jérôme. When did Emperor Bonaparte leave the Crimean peninsula.

"Emperor Jérôme told me that he would not leave here anytime soon!" Marshal Raglan said helplessly to the military commanders present.

As soon as these words came out, the military commander immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

Due to the excellent performance of the French army in Alma and Sevastopol, the entire coalition army has gradually changed from the original double-headed command to the current single-level command with the French army as the center.

This has the advantage of reducing the internal friction between armies and armies, and can make loose coalition forces into a single unit.

The downside, however, was that the British army had less and less influence in the Allied forces, and before the start of the Sevastopol War, the Ottoman Omar Pasha was more inclined to follow the command of Marshal Raglan, and after the end of the Sevastopol War, Omar's position was biased in favor of the French army.

If it weren't for the promotion of Commander Raglan to marshal, and Pelisier not yet to marshal, I am afraid that the Kingdom of Britain would now only be able to command its own army.

Jérôme, who is now the supreme commander of France. When Emperor Bonaparte arrived in Sevastopol, the entire British army was faced with the question of whether they should obey the orders of the French army.

Because in terms of the rank and power of the coalition forces, Jérôme. Bonaparte had apparently far surpassed Commander Raglan.

Unless Commander Raglan invites Queen Victoria to the Crimean Peninsula, the entire coalition force will be under her command unconditionally.

If Jérôme. If Bonaparte could lead them to victory like the Napoleonic Emperor did, that's all!

The key is Jérôme. Bonaparte could not produce a convincing record, as the Duke of Cambridge had in the beginning, so the British army had reason to suspect Jérôme. The military level of Bonaparte.

This also caused divisions within Britain: if the supreme command of the French army really changed from Pellissier to Jérôme. Bonaparte's words, then should they not obey the orders of the coalition command.

This led to Marshal Raglan going to the French command to inquire about Jérôme. Whether Bonaparte stayed in the Crimean Peninsula for a long time.

"Why don't we report the news to London! It is up to London to negotiate with France, so that Jérôme. His Majesty Bonaparte may be able to leave! "One of the officers came up with his own idea.

"I'm afraid that London won't be able to persuade you!" Another officer poured cold water on him and said, "Don't you still understand what France is like now?" The whole empire revolves around the Emperor of France alone, and the current Emperor of France is bent on imitating his uncle! How could those who remained in Paris persuade to move! ”

"Then do we still want to follow the advice of the French command?"

"My opinion is that it can be heard, but it depends on the situation! We are Her Majesty Queen Victoria's troops, not Jérôme. His Majesty the Emperor Bonaparte's troops! ”

……

The British officers shouted around Marshal Raglan, and gradually Marshal Raglan's face showed impatience.

"Quiet!" Marshal Raglan raised his voice and shouted at everyone present.

All the officers stopped speaking and turned their gaze back to Field Marshal Raglan.

"Are you arguing like this, or are you arguing?" Marshal Raglan reprimanded loudly, and then said to the Duke of Cambridge: "What do you think? ”

"Your Excellency, I think a colleague just said it right!" The Duke of Cambridge puffed up his chest and said eloquently: "We can follow the advice of the French Imperial Army, but only if this advice is beneficial to our army!" If the French Empire is really ready to send us to our deaths, we can do it according to our own will!

After all, the French army and the British army are only united, and the French and the British are not British! Everyone here still retains control of the army! ”

"This is indeed a solution!" Marshal Raglan nodded.

To be honest, he also did not want to have a stammer with the French Empire, and now the entire Crimean peninsula relied on the French army for high-intensity exports.

If relations with France really had to be stiff, it would only cheapen the Russian Empire.

But Commander Raglan was afraid of Jérôme. Bonaparte was the kind of king who had no bnumber and liked to be reckless.

There is a way that a general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies.

The vegetative and fun-loving monarch is nothing short of an epic disaster for the army.

Forget it, let's observe it for a while!

Marshal Raglan thought to himself.

……

With Jérôme. After Bonaparte settled in Sevastopol, two telegrams arrived in Sevastopol.

One of them is from Queen Augusta and the other is from Princess Mathilde.

Let's start with Empress Augusta's telegram, in which she sent a message to Jérôme. Bonaparte expressed his understanding of the matter of going to the Crimean peninsula and hoped that Jérôme. Bonaparte was able to protect his life as much as possible, and if there was any need, he immediately sent a telegram to Paris, and Augusta would immediately order Paris to prepare.

At the end of the letter, Augusta told Jérôme. Bonaparte, his life belonged not only to himself, but also to all of France.

She will tell him/her after the birth of the child that his/her father is fighting for all of France.

And the tone of the telegram from Princess Mathilde was obviously not as good as that of Empress Augusta, and Mathilde in the telegram sent Jérôme . Bonaparte's trip to the Crimean peninsula was called irresponsible, childish.

Of course, at the end of the letter, Princess Mathilde could not forget to tell Jérôme. Bonaparte had to be safe, she didn't want her soon-to-be-born nephew/niece to be left without a father.

After the two telegrams were read through, Jérôme. Bonaparte called for Bonaparte, a correspondent of the French army, and showed him the telegram of Empress Augusta.

"Mr. Reporter, I think you should pay more attention to your surroundings! Military news is not only a matter of how many enemies the army has defeated and how many victories have been won! The little things can make people feel more empathetic! "Jérôme. Bonaparte made a suggestion to the reporters accompanying the army.

It was suggested that he write an essay that centered on the content of the attitude of the soldier's wife towards the war.

Of course, the article focuses on the positive portrayal of military wives during the war.

Jérôme. The reporters with whom Bonaparte clicked immediately understood Jérôme. Bonaparte meant that, after leaving the headquarters, he immediately went to the barracks to find several French officers, and asked to know their wives' attitude towards their participation in the war.

The officers were very cooperative in bringing out the letters written to them by their wives, and the reporters accompanying the army who read the letters wrote an article called "Marrying the Army's Wives" overnight.

The article uses the wives of several officers he chose as typical cases to promote the justice of the French army in the Crimean peninsula against the Russian Imperial Army.

At the same time, at the end of the article, the military correspondent also pointed out that Empress Augusta also wrote a letter for His Majesty the Emperor.

As soon as this article came out, it immediately ushered in heated discussions, and many Parisian residents were moved to tears after reading the article.

There are also many people who are very interested in the contents of the telegram written by Empress Augusta to His Majesty the Emperor.

So, on the third day after the publication of the article, Jérôme. Bonaparte ordered the telegram written to him by Augusta to be exposed.

By telegram the people of Paris saw a well-read Empress of France, whose love for France did not belong to any true Frenchman.

A large number of Parisians began to spontaneously send their blessings to Empress Augusta, who was also associated with Jérôme. Bonaparte's popularity rose another section out of thin air.
