After the painful period of transformation in 1855, Jérôme. Bonaparte's work became extraordinarily easier.

In addition to receiving documents from the Secretariat's Office on a daily basis, Jérôme. Bonaparte spent the rest of his day in salons and on outings with his wife and children.

Some newspapers are also in Jérôme. At the behest of Bonaparte, he began to report to the outside world about Jérôme. The warm life of the Bonaparte family with lace news.

The citizens of Paris were more down-to-earth than the emperors portrayed in the mainstream newspapers, and when the people found that there was no difference between the emperor and their way of life and entertainment (fishing, horseback riding, playing cards, picking up girls), an invisible sense of intimacy arose. The approval rating of the Bonaparte government is gradually rising.

Of course, these lace news will also give Jérôme. Bonaparte brought some "negative" images, and that is every time Jérôme. When Bonaparte was talking to passers-by on the street, there would always be passers-by who asked Jérôme with a smile. Bonaparte, "How many girlfriends does the emperor have", "Your Majesty, are you still in touch with xxx" and the like, Jérôme. Bonaparte could only smile awkwardly and not rudely.

And so soon the time came in June, when a telegram from the area of the Lyon military district reached the telegraph office of the Ministry of War, and the commander of the telegraph office quickly handed the telegram into the hands of the Minister of War, Vajan.

After taking the telegram, Vayan glanced at the contents of the telegram, and immediately called the secretary of state, and handed the telegram into his hands, saying: "Now you go to the palace of Du Yinleri with this telegram at once, and then give the telegram to the emperor!" ”

The secretary of state took the telegram and didn't even look at it, then folded it and stuffed it in his pocket, "Yes!" Minister! (Departments have long been accustomed to the title of minister)"

With that, the Secretary of State quickly left the War Department and rode in a carriage to the Douinlery Palace.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of the Douyinleri Palace, the Secretary of State of the Ministry of War got out of the carriage and trotted into the Douyinleri Palace and stepped up the steps.

Seeing this, the soldiers guarding both sides of the palace immediately stopped the secretary of state in the middle of his advance, and asked the secretary of state, "What are you going to do?" ”

The Secretary of State took out the telegram in his pocket and replied to the soldier: "I have come here to submit a telegram to Your Majesty on the orders of the Minister of War, Vayan!" ”

"Your Majesty, it's not in the Du Yin Leli Palace right now!" The soldier hurriedly replied.

"And where is Your Majesty now?" The state secretary asked, looking at the soldier in surprise.

"Wait a moment!" A soldier enters the interior of the Douilleri Palace.

After a while, the royal governor (nominal) Vilnya appeared in front of the state secretary with an expressionless face, and the state secretary hurriedly and respectfully responded: "Vilnia, governor! ”

"Your Majesty, you are now inspecting the industrial park of NORINCO Group! If you're in a hurry, I can send someone to help you call him back! Vernia said in a sloppy tone.

"Thank you very much!" The Secretary of State thanked Vilnia, then turned to leave the Palazzo Tuinlery.

The state secretary, who had not yet walked down the steps, was immediately stopped by Vilnya behind him: "Wait a minute! ”

"Is there anything else you can do, Chief Vilnia?" The secretary of state asked Vilniadao with a hint of confusion.

After hesitating for a moment, Vilnia asked the Secretary of State, "Are you preparing to return to the War Department?" ”

The Secretary of State told Vilnia that he was going to go to the NORINCO park in person to look for Jérôme. Emperor Bonaparte.

"yes, I see!" Vilnia nodded in response to the Secretary of State.

Re-mounted in the carriage and arrived at the secretary of state, galloping all the way to the industrial park on the outskirts, and after entering the park, he was led by soldiers to the shooting range inside the industrial park.

"What is Your Majesty doing here?" The secretary of state muttered quietly.

When the soldier next to him heard the state secretary's words, he looked at the state secretary in surprise and said, "Don't you know? ”

"Know what?" The state secretary was stunned for a few seconds, then asked.

The soldier immediately told the Secretary of State that His Majesty the Emperor had come here to test the performance of the new rifle.

"A new rifle?" The secretary of state was stunned again, he had been the secretary of state for a while, and he really didn't know about the new rifle.

However, he suddenly remembered that one day when he was sorting out documents for the Minister of War, he accidentally discovered that since the middle of last year, the Empire's production of Mine rifles has been greatly reduced compared to before.

Originally, he thought that because the empire had entered peace, he would no longer mass-produce Mine rifles.

Now it seems that the reduction in production of the Minne rifle is likely to have a lot to do with the new rifle.

"I see!" The Secretary of State muttered again.

At this time, Jérôme, who was in the shooting range inside the industrial park. Bonaparte was carefully examining the breech-loading rifle in his hand, and the Mauser father and son, who were in charge of explaining to him, and Jérôme, who was in charge of shooting, were in charge of shooting. Patterson is standing in Jérôme. Bonaparte waited silently.

Immediately afterwards, Jérôme. Bonaparte gently opened the reloading magazine of the rear-loading gun with his hand, and immediately a slight sound was heard from inside the reloading magazine,

Jérôme. Bonaparte knew that the firing pin at this moment was already in place under the effect of the internal bullet.

"Bullets!" Jérôme. Bonaparte again stretched out his hand and said to old Mauser.

Old Mauser quickly handed over a brass bullet with a diameter of about 11 mm to Jérôme. In the hands of Bonaparte, Jérôme. Bonaparte shoved the bullet into the barrel of the gun and pulled the bolt back.

With a slight sound coming from inside the Mauser again, Jérôme. Bonaparte raised his rifle and aimed it at the distant target, then pulled the trigger.

Just listen to the "bang", the bullet was fired from the muzzle and at a very fast speed towards the target in the distance.

In about 1 second or so, the bullet focused on the target.

"Patterson, go over and have a look!" Jérôme. Bonaparte vs. Jérôme. Patterson responded.

"Yes!" Jérôme. Patterson hurried over.

Jérôme. Bonaparte pulled the bolt of the gun, and the internal cartridge casings were followed by Jérôme. Bonaparte's pullback was smoothly withdrawn.

It seems that the shelling mechanism has been completely conquered by the old Mauser!

Jérôme. Bonaparte touched the metal cartridge casing, which still had a trace of residual warmth, and couldn't help but say in his heart.

Old Mauser also saw that the metal bullet case was successfully withdrawn, and his originally nervous expression gradually relaxed.

"You're doing a good job!" Jérôme. Bonaparte complimented old Mauser.

"Your Majesty, you have won the prize!" Old Mauser modestly said to Jérôme. Bonaparte replied, and then to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded: "You came up with the design, Paul did it!" ”

"Oh?" Jérôme. Bonaparte glanced in surprise at Paul next to Old Mauser. Mauser, he papped Paul with his rifle on the ground. Mauser said seriously on his shoulder, "I believe that your name will be able to be sung by the whole world in the future, and you must not bury your talent!" ”

Paul. Mauser heard Jérôme. After Bonaparte's praise, he also excitedly said that he would definitely design a steady stream of rifles for His Majesty the Emperor.

After listening to Paul. After Mauser's promise, Jérôme. The corners of Bonaparte's mouth rose slightly, and he couldn't help but think of the Kingdom of Prussia.

If it weren't for the fact that he had cut off his beard halfway, William. Mauser & Paul. Mauser will certainly design one excellent rifle after another for Prussia, as history does.

Now that the Mauser family is serving France, it may be difficult for the Kingdom of Prussia to find another design master comparable to Mauser.

The rarity of a top gun designer is almost as rare as that of a scientist.

After all, talent is not something that everyone can have.

Paul. Mauser and William. Mauser happens to be this kind of talent.

"I hope you don't forget your promise today!" Jérôme. Bonaparte made a point of emphasizing that he had decided in his heart that he would destroy the Mauser brothers at all costs if they were out of his control.

Jérôme. Bonaparte could not get the talent, and the Kingdom of Prussia did not want to get it.

Conversely, if William. Mauser & Paul. If Mauser could have designed a great piece for France, Jérôme. Bonaparte didn't mind giving them the credit they deserved.

Paul. Mauser clearly did not understand Jérôme. Bonaparte had a dark thought in his heart, and he agreed to Jérôme. Bonaparte would have kept his promises.

Subsequently, Jérôme. Patterson came to Jérôme. Bonabad side, to Jérôme. Bonaparte informed that the 100-meter shot was 9 rings.

"Not bad!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded in satisfaction, then handed the Mauser Rifle 2.0 to Jérôme Patterson, "You can try it too!" This time, though, you'll have to shoot on your stomach. ”

Jérôme who took the rifle. Patterson found another target and began to follow Jérôme. Bonaparte's order to shoot.

After another gunshot, William. Mauser ran to the target and announced Jérôme. Patterson's shooting score was 8 rings.

"You're hiding it! Patterson! "Get to know Jérôme. Patterson's shooting talent for Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"Nope! Your Majesty, I'm just a little unaccustomed to such a way of shooting! "Jérôme. Patterson quibbled.

"Then which one do you think this rifle is better than the previous version of the rifle?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Jérôme again. Patterson.

"Your Majesty, of course this version is better!" Jérôme. Patterson replied without hesitation, "This design would save us a lot of time, but ......"

"But what?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked.

"However, this rifle is likely to put a lot of pressure on our logistics!"
