"Of course it's true!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied with certainty to the Prince of Montfort.

For Jérôme. Patterson's eldest nephew, Jérôme. Bonaparte's mind was only a desire to exploit, and repression and exile were not at all in Jérôme. Bonaparte's considerations.

Because there were so few people in the whole Bonaparte family who could take on great responsibilities, many of the Bonaparte members did not match their ambitions at all, like Jérôme. Patterson, who has the ability and ability to recognize his position, can be said to be one in a hundred.

Seeing that there was still a hint of suspicion in Prince Monfort's eyes, Jérôme. Bonaparte argued: "Father, there is no need for me to suppress him!"

He couldn't set foot in France from the start, if I wanted to!

Don't forget, my sister Mathilde to Jérôme. Patterson still has always had a mustard!

If it hadn't been for me, Jérôme. It is simply impossible for Patterson to join the Bonaparte family!

I struggled to push Jérôme. Patterson became a member of the Bonaparte family, allowing him to perform many battles on the battlefields of the Crimea.

Isn't that enough to prove that I value him? ”

The Prince of Montfort listened to Jérôme. After Bonaparte's self-defense, he also believed Jérôme in his heart. Bonaparte's words, and then he turned to ask Jérôme. Why did Bonaparte send Jérôme. Paterson travels to the Gabon region.

"This appointment was made by me in a solicitation with Jérôme. Patterson's consent to the appointment! "Jérôme. Bonaparte explained again: "I sent him to Gabon because I wanted to expand France's territory in central Africa, and you should know that there is nothing more pleasing to the French than to expand their territory."

Not to mention, it was a brilliant young man of Bonaparte who expanded his territory.

The second reason is that Europe has now entered a phase of relative peace.

Hence Jérôme. If Patterson wanted to move up the ranks quickly, the only way to go to the colonies to fight the war was to go, so I arranged for him to go to Gabon to serve as governor. ”

"Raising the rank is not the only way to go in war!" Prince of Montfort to Jérôme. Bonaparte retorted.

"Yes! You're right! "Jérôme. Bonaparte acknowledged Prince Montfort's statement, "Advancement in military rank is not the only way to go by war."

But generals who have progressively risen through the ranks of war are more likely to gain the trust of their soldiers than generals who have been promoted by favor.

If my uncle hadn't personally commanded the army at that time, could he still be emperor?

If I hadn't gone to Crimea, would I have been able to command the whole army as easily as I do now?

I think Jérôme. Patterson is also reluctant to be a vase general, and he also has a dream of fighting on the battlefield in his heart. ”

Prince Montfort listened to Jérôme. Bonaparte's words were silent for a moment, and then a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Compared with you, I am the least like one of the Bonapartes!" ”

"Father, you live far more freely than we do!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said with a blank expression.

"yes!" Prince Montfort nodded, and said in a relaxed tone: "There is nothing wrong with living freely like this!"

Forget it, I'm not going to worry about it! See for yourself! ”

With that, Prince Montfort turned and left Jérôme. Bonaparte's study.

Stand at the door and wait for Jérôme. Basilio, summoned by Bonaparte, saw Prince Montfort coming out of the room and hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Prince Montfort gently shook off Basilio's hand and stubbornly replied to Basilio, "I'm not old yet!" ”

"Yes!" Basilio had no choice but to obey Prince Montfort's wishes and no longer support him.

However, in order to prevent any accidents when Prince Montfort went downstairs, Basilio had to follow Prince Montfort without leaving until Prince Montfort successfully reached the gate.

"Let's go back!" Prince Montfort said a word to Basilio, and then walked down the steps and got into the carriage.

Looking at Prince Montfort's carriage in the distance, Basilio also turned back to Jérôme. Bonaparte's study.

……

And Jérôme, who was a party to this incident. Patterson was now sitting on the train to Lyon, staring blankly out the window at the field.

It is not clear that the undercurrent of Paris is surging Jérôme. Patterson's mind was full of plans for the future.

Jérôme. Patterson stared out the window for a long time, until a fellow soldier appeared in front of him and reported to him the news of Lyon's imminent arrival. Patterson had only time to react, smiling and saying to the guard in front of him, "Got it," then got up and straightened his clothes, waiting for the train to arrive.

After nearly 20 minutes, the train let out a long whistle. Patterson understood that this was a signal for the arrival of the train.

With a slight shaking, the surrounding scenery gradually slowed down.

After a while, the train stopped under an open-air platform.

"Jérôme. Lieutenant Colonel Patterson, we have arrived at the Gare de Lyon! "The guards immediately turned to Jérôme. Patterson reported the arrival.

Jérôme. Patterson glanced at the slightly deserted environment and the rows of houses in the distance, and he immediately understood that this platform was supposed to be a platform for stopping military supplies.

The house in the distance was supposed to be a temporary storage warehouse for military supplies, and the camp of the Italian Front was probably nearby.

"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"

"Let's go down!" Jérôme. Patterson replied to the guards.

A detachment of guards followed Jérôme. Paterson stepped off the train and came to the platform, Jérôme. Patterson pulled out his pocket watch and glanced at the time.

It was around 3:15 p.m., 15 minutes ahead of his scheduled arrival time, which meant he had to wait 15 minutes to get there.

Jérôme. Patterson and his soldiers stood still and waited for a while, when a group of cavalry slowly approached them from a distance.

Stay until Jérôme. Patterson's distance from the "cavalry unit" allowed him to see every member of the cavalry unit clearly. Paterson was surprised to find that the leader of this "cavalry unit" was none other than the commander of the Italian Front, Trochu.

Speaking of which, Jérôme. When Patterson and Trochu were on the battlefield in the Crimea, they were also old acquaintances.

This time, Trochu personally led the team to meet Jérôme. Patterson was a bit of a surprise to him.

Trochu on horseback at the distance from Jérôme. When Paterson was less than 50 meters away, he turned over and dismounted, and hiked towards Jérôme. Pat's direction walked over.

Jérôme. Seeing this, Patterson also walked in the direction where Trochu was, and the two met in the middle of the road, shook hands, and embraced.

"I'm really sorry, there is a little situation in the barracks, I'm late!" Trochu let go of Jérôme. Patterson, apologized to him.

Jérôme. Patterson shook his head and replied to Trochu, "No! You weren't late, my train arrived 15 minutes early. ”

Trochu then introduced Jérôme to the cavalry who followed him. Patterson said, "This is Jérôme. Lieutenant Colonel Patterson, my close comrade-in-arms on the battlefields of the Crimea!

Now he is about to go to Gabon to serve as governor there! ”

"It's a pleasure to meet you!" Jérôme. Patterson smiled and bowed to the crowd.

The crowd also flocked to Jérôme. Patterson's arrival was welcomed.

After a brief introduction, Trochu ordered his officers to be Jérôme. Patterson brought in a horse.

"Your equestrian shouldn't have been pulled down!" Trochu asked Jérôme with concern. Patterson Road.

"It's only been about a year since the end of the war, and I don't even know the basic skill of horseback riding!" Jérôme. Patterson said to Trochu as he rolled over his horse.

Seeing this, Trochu and his entourage also turned on their horses, and the group galloped towards the camp where the Italian Front was located.

When the people present arrived at the Italian Front, Trochu was replaced by Jérôme. Patterson introduced the chief of staff of the Italian Front and the commanders of the subordinate divisions.

At the end of the conversation, Jérôme. Patterson told Trochu that he wanted to talk to the Croats who were about to leave for Gabon.

"I didn't expect you, the governor, to start issuing orders to me before I took office!

Trochu shrugged his shoulders and teased Jérôme. Patterson Road.

"His Majesty the Emperor has repeatedly warned me before I leave to meet with the laborers as soon as possible and then go to Gabon!" Jérôme. Patterson replied to Trochu.

"Please come with me!" Trochu vs. Jérôme. Patterson said.

Under the leadership of Trochu, Jérôme. Pat soon came to the door of a camp surrounded by a fence.

Trochu seemed to have something in mind, and he hurried to ask Jérôme. Patterson said, "That's right! Lieutenant Colonel Patterson, have you ever learned German! ”

"German? A little dabbling! "Jérôme. Patterson responded to Trochu.

"That's good!" Trochu vs. Jérôme. Patterson replied.

"What's wrong?" Jérôme. Patterson asked curiously.

"This group of Croats has never learned French at all, only a few have learned German, so I asked you if you have ever learned German!

If you don't learn German, it's hard to communicate with them! "Trochu to Jérôme. Patterson explained.

"I see!" Jérôme. Patterson nodded in response.

Trochu led Jérôme. Paterson made his way to the largest tent in the camp. Patterson saw many shaved Croats training in the scorching sun.

When Jérôme. After Patterson entered the tent, two Croats, still with their hair, stood up to greet Trochu and Jérôme. Patterson.

"These two are Mirabeau. Baron Plenkovich and Andrei. Baron Milanovic!

Trochu pointed at them to Jérôme. Patterson said.
