Jérôme. At 1 p.m., Bonaparte and his entourage set off south from the Place de la Concorde to the rue du Quis d'Orsay, and then continued south to the Champ de Mars near the Invalides at the scheduled time amid the cheers of the citizens on both sides of the Quardin d'Orsay.

It was 2 p.m., and there were only a few clouds in the blue sky, and the sun was hiding behind them.

The golden sunlight shines through the clouds on the Champ de Mars as Emperor Napoleon flips through the bronze pillar statue in the Alps, adding a sense of sacredness to the statue of this great man, as if the victory in the Crimean War was predestined.

When Jérôme. After Bonaparte walked past the bronze statue, he paused for a moment and raised his head to look silently at the bronze statue in front of him, and then drew his sword hanging from his waist and saluted the statue in front of him.

The golden sun shines on Jérôme. Bonaparte's saber made every one follow in Jérôme. The foreign ministers behind Bonaparte all subconsciously closed their eyes.

Jérôme who did it all. Bonaparte put his saber back in its scabbard and continued to the site where the parade was held.

Jérôme, who had just stood on the viewing platform of the military parade. Bonaparte immediately heard a cannon salute in the distance.

The place where the salute was fired was located next door to the Invalides, and with the sound of the salute, the people around the Champ de Mars also heard a deafening cheer.

"Long live the Empire, long live Bonaparte!"

The shouts of thousands of people soon overshadowed the rumbling artillery, and in the midst of this shouting, Jérôme. A smile of joy appeared on Bonaparte's face.

Nothing makes Jérôme more impressed by these cries. Bonaparte was delighted, because every cry represented the affirmation of the Imperial Government by the people of Paris.

As long as he could hear these cries all the time, the empire he had built would never come to an end.

If, on the other hand, there were no more shouts in the whole of Paris, the countdown to the end of the empire would have begun.

After the salute, stood on the stage Jérôme. Bonaparte pressed twice and motioned for them to stop.

After ten seconds, the shouting immediately stopped.

Immediately afterwards, Jérôme. "Dear French citizens and foreign friends, I am glad that you are here to celebrate this upcoming peace conference with me and with France at the Place de la Tripetia," said Bonaparte.

…… Looking back on the past year, we have been through a lot. One of the most important things was that we fought with Britain, Austria, the Ottomans, Sardinia, Sweden, and the Kingdom of Prussia (with the Prussian Foreign Minister showing some displeasure), with the vast majority of European countries, with the Russian Empire.

There has never been a war since 1815. In total, we lost more than 100,000 brothers and sisters in this war (the French casualties were only about 30,000, and the vast majority of casualties were contributed by the British and Ottoman Empires), while the Russian Empire, as an adversary, also suffered nearly 200,000 casualties.

Let us now observe a moment of silence for the soldiers who died in the Near East, regardless of nationality! ”

Saying, Jérôme. Bonaparte closed his eyes and joined his hands in a silent gesture.

Follow in Jérôme. The generals behind Bonaparte, the foreign ministers, were seeing Jérôme. After Bernard's move, they followed Jérôme's example. Bonaparte closed his eyes together in silence.

The people who stayed near the Champ de Mars were also infected by the inexplicable atmosphere, and they began to pray for the dead warriors.

The troops stationed on the Champ de Mars were also under the orders of the officers, and they raised their rifles to shoot into the sky, and the dense gunfire comforted the dead heroes.

After praying for almost a minute, Jérôme. Bonaparte opened his eyes, and then continued to speak in a loud voice to everyone present about the relationship between war and peace, and emphasized that no one likes war, so the purpose of this peace conference is to eliminate war as much as possible, so that all parties can consult and help each other within a more stable framework!

At the end of the speech, Jérôme. Bonaparte also made a point of emphasizing, "I believe that peace will be completely achieved in the near future!" ”

Wait until Jérôme. Immediately after Bonaparte's speech, there was a round of applause.

Immediately afterwards, the entire Victory Square also resounded with warm applause.

"Thank you very much, you can listen to me here to nag!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to everyone present in a very down-to-earth tone, "I declare the official start of the military parade!" ”

With Jérôme. After Bonaparte announced the beginning, groups of soldiers began to walk in unison towards the viewing platform.

Stand in Jérôme. The members of the national missions behind Bonaparte also exchanged words with each other.

The first branch to Jérôme. Bonaparte came by some of the outstanding soldiers of the 3rd Division under the leadership of Pellissier and Trox, who served as the main force in the Crimean battlefield as the French Guard.

But all the battles with high casualties were basically gnawed down by the 3rd Division.

As soon as the ranks of the 3rd Division approached the viewing platform, Marshal Pelisier drew the command knife from his waist and shouted loudly: "Salute! ”

After hearing the shouts of Marshal Perissier, the soldiers in the phalanx made a uniform chopping motion, and at the same time aimed their murderous gaze at the "guests" on the viewing platform,

Some of the "guests" almost fell under the gaze of the soldiers of the Third Division, and some members of the mission who had a military career could not help but sigh in their hearts that the military strength of France was still so strong.

The soldiers in front of them alone are terrifying enough.

And Jérôme, who stands at the forefront. Bonaparte, apparently not bet on the position of the Third Division, smiled and waved at the soldiers of the Third Division.

After the 3rd Division left the rear viewing platform, it was followed by the soldiers of the 2nd Division, and as the 2nd Division, which played a significant role in the Battle of Arma, it can be said that it was second only to the 3rd Division in the entire Crimean War, and on a par with the 1st Division.

If not for the later Jérôme. If Bonaparte handed over the hard bones to the 3rd Division, the 2nd Division would definitely not lose to the 3rd Division in the Crimean theater.

Boques was able to serve as field marshal, among whom was Jerome. The factor of Bonaparte's compensation for the 2nd Division is in it.

After the soldiers of the 2nd Division arrived at the viewing platform, Marshal Boqueli also followed the example of Marshal Pelisier in a bayonet show, and one bayonet emitted a cold glow in the sunlight.

Subsequently, the 1st, 4th, and 5th Divisions and Zhu Afu's team passed through the viewing platform in turn.

……

By the time all the troops had passed, it was about 5 p.m., and the salute rang out again.

Jérôme. Bonaparte stepped down from the viewing platform and came to the phalanx of soldiers, where he warmly shook hands with the commanders of the phalanx.

And then Jérôme. Bonaparte returned to the viewing platform and solemnly announced the official end of the parade.

Groups of phalanx soldiers, guided by the commander, began to leave Victory Square, and the crowd standing around Victory Square also began to leave under the guidance of the police and gendarmes.

Jérôme. Bonaparte and the others, escorted by the army led by General Wayan, returned to the Tuileries Palace on foot.

Stay until Jérôme. When Bonaparte and the others arrived at the Tuileries Palace, the time had come to about 6:30 p.m., less than half an hour before the dinner began.

Jérôme who takes guests to the banquet hall. Bonaparte sneaked to the second floor to rest before the others could react.

The nearly four-hour military parade really made him tired enough.

Half-lying on the couch, he took off his coat and closed his eyes.

But before he could rest for 10 minutes, there was a knock on the door.

Jérôme. Bonaparte hurriedly took off his coat and put it back on, and then responded: "Who? ”

"Your Majesty, the Russian Imperial Ambassador Gorchakov wants to ask to see you!" Mocal's voice reached Jérôme. Bonaparte's ear.

"Gorchakov?" Jérôme. Bonaparte shook his head to himself, knowing that Gorchakov must have come to "ask him for guilt."

"There's still some time, let him come over!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied lightly.

"Yes!" Mocal immediately turned to Jérôme. Bonaparte replied.

After a while, Gorchakov pushed the door in.

"Your Majesty!" Entered the room of Gorchakov to Zherom. Bonaparte said, bowing.

"Mr. Gorchakov, please be seated!" Jérôme. Bonaparte stretched out his hand and said a word to Ambassador Gorchakov, and then added: "You only have 10 minutes!" ”

"Your Majesty, I'm here just to ask you a question!" Ambassador Gorchakov said with a solemn expression to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"What's the problem?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked, with a confused look on his face.

"The countries participating in the peace conference of this generation are not those traitors in St. Petersburg again!" Ambassador Gorchakov asked Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"Mr. Gorchakov, we sincerely invite all countries and governments involved in the Crimean War to participate in this meeting, in order to preserve the present peace!" Jérôme. Bonaparte's seemingly unmatched cry of the donkey's head to the horse's mouth had in fact told Gorchakov his own answer.

"Your Majesty, didn't you promise us not to invite them over?" Gorchakov said with a slight resentment.

"Mr. Ambassador, are you mistaken! When did I promise you not to invite them to the meeting? I was just intimately reminding you that you should really come here! ”
