The soldiers of the Duchy of Baden who were present also gave Jérôme. Bonaparte enough face from Jérôme. From the beginning to the end of Bonaparte's speech, the applause never stopped.

"Friends and brothers of the Duchy of Baden!" Jérôme. Bonaparte affectionately called the soldiers of the Duchy of Baden "brothers": "On behalf of France, I warmly welcome you to France, to enjoy the beauty of France, and to experience the scenery of France!"

Only in this way could the ties and exchanges between the French Empire and the Duchy of Baden be deepened...... Germany and France are both great nations, and I hope that the two great nations should always maintain the concept of mutual cooperation and mutual win-win.

Blind confrontation will not make our two countries strong, but will make the two countries that should be win-win fall into decline!

I hope you will remember this, and I can guarantee that the rifles of the French Empire will never be aimed at their friends!

Our rifles are only there to protect our friends and every independent country! ”

Jérôme. As soon as Bonaparte's words fell, the soldiers of the Duchy of Baden who were present applauded again under the leadership of their general.

Then, Jérôme. Bonaparte again stretched out his hand and held it tightly with the general.

After the handshake, it was he who escorted Jérôme. Bonaparte and others arrived at the nearby military railway station and dedicated to Jérôme. Bonaparte prepared a direct train to Karlsruhe, the capital of Baden.

"Your Majesty, I'll send you here!" General of the border guard of the Duchy of Baden, Andrei. General Kallman respectfully addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"Andrey. General Kalman, thank you so much for being able to personally escort us and my wife over! "Jérôme. Bonaparte politely addressed André. Kalman responded.

"Your Majesty, this is what I should do!" Andre. Kalman replied in a sonorous voice.

"Hopefully, one day, you'll be able to go to Paris! At that time, I will personally entertain you! "Jérôme. Bonaparte, as he stepped up the steps into the steam train, said to André. Kalman responded.

"Your Majesty!" Andre. Kalman vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte responded: "If I had time, I would definitely go to Paris!" ”

Steam train in Jérôme. As soon as Bonaparte and the others got into the car, they honked their horns.

At this time, the direction of the steam train was already slightly white, and he was sitting in a special carriage. Bonaparte, sitting on the marching bed fixed to the side of the train, yawned and asked Augusta: "What time is it?" ”

"It's almost 5 o'clock now!" Augusta glanced at the pocket watch to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"5 o'clock!" Jérôme. Bonaparte yawned again, then asked Mocal: "How long will it take us to get to Karlsruhe!" ”

"Your Majesty, it is expected to be more than 6 hours away! That is, we arrived in Karlsruhe at about 1 p.m.! "Mocal vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"Then I'll go to sleep first! You can rest for a while, too! "Jérôme. When Bonaparte had finished speaking, he took off his martin boots and lay down on the marching bed.

Sit in Jérôme. Empress Augusta, opposite Bonaparte, looked at Jérôme, who had closed his eyes. Bonaparte, too, yawned and commanded Mocal: "Mocal, rest also!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Mocal replied respectfully to Empress Augusta, and then left Jérôme. Bonaparte and Empress Augusta were in the carriage and jumped into another carriage to rest.

In the rumble of a steam train, Jérôme. Bonaparte and Empress Augusta entered into the dream, respectively.

……

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

With the hazy shouts of Augusta in his ears, Jérôme fell into a deep sleep. Bonaparte slowly opened his eyes and asked lazily, "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, we're almost there!" Empress Augusta vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

Jérôme heard the news of his imminent arrival. Bonaparte immediately got up from the bed, slowly put on the Martin boots that lay beside the bed, then got up and pulled back the black curtains hanging from the car window and looked out the window.

At this time, the sun is high in the sky, and as far as the eye can see, a verdant field, and only from afar can you see the town in the distance, like an island in the middle of the sea.

If it weren't for Augusta telling himself that this is near the capital Karlsruhe, Jérôme. Bonaparte couldn't believe that this was near the metropolitan area.

However, it's nothing new to think about!

Even today's Paris, as long as you go outside the city center and planning area, the outside world is no different from the Middle Ages.

The fragmentation of urban and rural areas was vividly demonstrated in the first industrial revolution.

"I didn't expect to see so many rustic scenery near the capital area!" Looking at the landscape in the distance, Jérôme. Bonaparte couldn't help but tease.

"Do you think anyone can have a lot of capital like France! Paris can be transformed into a cosmopolitan city! "Empress Augusta to Jérôme. Bonaparte replied,

"You're praising me!" Jérôme. Bonaparte shrugged his shoulders and replied to Empress Augusta, then added: "But now I understand!" Why the monarchs of Germany love to go to Paris! ”

"That's it! You must not say these words in public! "Empress Augusta reminded Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"Look at me like such a stupid person!" Jérôme. Bonaparte spread his hands and replied to Empress Augusta.

Another half hour passed, and the train finally entered the vicinity of Karlsruhe.

The scene finally became a little bit of an industrial revolution, with steamships floating on the river in black gas, and buildings scattered around the train tracks.

And Jérôme. Bonaparte was already dressed and ready to get off the train with Augusta.

With a whistle sounded, the carriage of Jérôme. Bonaparte and Augusta could clearly sense that the steam train was slowly slowing down.

Platforms similar to those in the previous life in some small border county towns appeared in Jérôme. Bonaparte's eyes looked at the platform in front of him, Jérôme. The corners of Bonaparte's mouth twitched slightly.

This platform is not at all comparable to the platform in Paris, or even inferior to the platform in the Marseille area.

The train came to a slow halt, and a man in a light blue breasted military uniform and a mustache was standing on the platform waiting, while behind him was a group of guards also wearing light blue military uniforms.

When the train had come to a complete stop, the soldier behind the man hurried to the side of the train and opened the door. Bonaparte and Augusta stepped down from the train car arm in arm.

"Your Majesty!" The man met Jérôme. Immediately after Bonaparte, he humbly addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte bowed.

"Friedrich! My brother! "Jérôme. Bonaparte let go of Augusta's hand, stood in front of him and gave him a warm hug.

That's right, the man in front of him is none other than Archduke Friedrich, the regent of the Grand Duchy of Baden. William. Ludwig.

If this name is unfamiliar, then his other identity is familiar to many people.

He was the son-in-law of the future Wilhelm I, and it was also the one who led the persuasion of the South German monarch to recognize Kaiser Wilhelm I at the time of Wilhelm I's coronation at the Palace of Versailles, although the emperor was initially positioned as the chairman of the Confederation, and the one who shouted "Long live".

If he had not persuaded him, the monarch of South Germany would have made some kind of trouble.

This Friedrich was also trusted by Wilhelm I because he took the lead in chanting long live at Versailles.

It can be said that the status of the Duchy of Baden in the German Empire was won because Friedrich took the lead in shouting.

It's just that the current Friedrich has not yet married Wilhelm I, and has not even served as the Grand Duke of Baden.

His older brother, who was mentally ill, would not be able to retire until the next year, and his current position was the same as that of William I of Prussia, in the rank of regent.

"Your Majesty, it's a pleasure for you to visit Karlsruhe!" The Regent of Friedrich smiled at Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"Friedrich, call me Jérôme if you wish!" Jérôme. Bonaparte let go of the regent of Friedrich and said to him, and then introduced Friedrich to Empress Augusta, "This is my wife Augusta!" ”

Augusta smiled as well, and Friedrich kissed the back of Augusta's hand. As a sign of respect.

Subsequently, under the leadership of Friedrich, Jérôme. Bonaparte rode his tall horse with Friedrich through the streets of Karlsruhe, while Empress Augusta sat in an open-top carriage specially prepared by Friedrich.

The citizens who had already been organized cheered Jérôme. The arrival of Bonaparte, Jérôme. Bonaparte marched to the square amid cheers.

In front of the square, the neatly lined Baden soldiers see Jérôme. After the arrival of Bonaparte and Friedrich, they stopped and received the review of the two with high spirits.

"Why don't we both get off the horse!" Jérôme. Bonaparte suggested, and Friedrich nodded in agreement.

Jérôme. Bonaparte and Friedrich stood in the open space of the square, and the general in charge of the phalanx of soldiers hurriedly ordered his soldiers to start.

Groups of soldiers walked to Jérôme. Bonaparte in front of him, and to Jérôme. Bonaparte saluted.

Jérôme. Bonaparte also watched every soldier leave with a solemn expression, and his action immediately won the favor of the citizens of Baden and Friedrich.
