"How do you think France should seek its wealth abroad! There are many people in the government who think it is a mistake to focus too much on overseas!"

Jerome Bonaparte asked the Marquis of Allais with great interest, and he admitted that the sufferer in front of him did have two brushes.

"Your Excellency, please be blunt! Those who hold this kind of thinking are short-sighted. They only focus on their existing interests, and they do not think about the future of the French nation!"

Marquis Alai's tone was unusually excited, and he used his hands and feet together as if to highlight the authority of his words.

Judging from his expression, this should be a loyal supporter of grand navalism.

At this moment, the maid brought pastries and two cups of steaming coffee, and she carefully bypassed Marquis Allai and put the pastries and coffee on the table one by one.

Jérôme Bonaparte picked up the steaming coffee, blew the heat off the coffee gently, took a sip of the coffee and said, "Mr. Marquis, now our part in Algiers is still in the stage of sustainable loss! How are you sure they will make a profit!"

"Your Excellency, science!" The Marquis of Allais responded to Jerome Bonaparte with a firm tone: "I don't like the Great Revolution, but I have to admit that after the Great Revolution, the development of France has begun to take off. If we say that we Pull the time line to a few decades ago, and who can predict the development of the railway. Now the speed of the railway has reached the point of 15-20 francs per hour (1 mile = 4 kilometers), I believe that in the future The progress will only get faster and my ships will get bigger and bigger. There will be more and more things to export. By that time, it will be too late for us to regret it!"

Although there are certain problems with some of the words of Count Allais, Jerome Bonaparte has to admit that what Count Allais said has certain truths.

Why were there two world wars in the 20th century? It is not because of the uneven distribution of the interests of the colonies that the late-developing countries cannot occupy the colonies, and the industrial products cannot be dumped.

When there is no room for dumping of too many industrial products, the domestic market will fall into a slump, and too much unemployment will also lead to more turmoil.

The First and Second World Wars were inevitable factors by chance, and the colonies that the late-developing countries did not get enough dumping could only choose to let go.

"You mean that we will export more and more things, and then there must be enough raw material supply and dumping space, right!" Jerome Bonaparte also tried his best to use simple and easy-to-understand language. said the Marquis of Lay.

"Your Excellency, you are right! I think France should learn from Britain and occupy as much land as possible! If France can build a fleet of ocean-going fleets, then we can go further!" Marquis Allais In response to Jerome Bonaparte.

"But our navy is far inferior to the British navy!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Marquis Allais with a frown, "The rash construction of a navy may arouse the dissatisfaction of Britain!"

"Your Excellency!" The Marquis of Allais said calmly to Jerome Bonaparte: "Even if we do nothing, we will still suffer from the malice of Britain! The emperor at the time scared the whole of Europe. We can only arm the navy to Britain. Only when they dare to despise us can they calm down and negotiate with us! The Osa people are a group of people who bully the weak and fear the hard, and their businessman thinking will not let them do business at a loss."

The words of Marquis Allais made Jerome Bonaparte feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity. After thinking for a while, he suddenly remembered that Marquis Allais' theory was not the "fleet of existence" that Mahan later said.

Jerome Bonaparte thought about it carefully again. There were successful examples of fleets in history. He suddenly discovered that there was not much possibility of success in fleets at all.

The German Second Empire of the otl world line wasted a lot of gold marks, and the fleet of existence that made the Kaiser proud was directly blocked by the British, and finally ended his life in a self-sinking way.

Although Marquis Allais has a big misunderstanding about the ocean fleet, compared to his contemporaries, he is already at the forefront of the team, which undoubtedly refreshes Jerome Bonaparte perception of this era.

Jérôme Bonaparte's silence made Marquis Allais a little uneasy. He decided to reveal another piece of news to the President. He believed that the President would not be in a hurry and would not pay attention to this news.

"Mr. President, before I leave my post, the Navy is developing a newest type of gunboat! If it is successful, we will be able to fight against Britain with a better warship!" Marquis Allais excitedly told Jerome Bona. Ba said.

"The nearest gunboat?" The word "Ironclad" appeared in Jerome Bonaparte's mind.

If he remembered correctly, the country that built the world's first ironclad was France.

"That's right! We plan to wrap the outside of the hull with a thick layer of iron, and at the same time use a steam engine as power..." Marquis Allais said to Jerome Bonaparte incessantly.

Jérôme Bonaparte was even more convinced that the latest gunboat in the mouth of Marquis Allais was the ironclad of the future.

If it was said that he had offered him some compensation based on his guilt, then now he can't help but love the bitter master.

Anyway, in the "open and tolerant" France, there is never the so-called hatred of wives. On the contrary, if you are too obsessed with your wife without a mistress, it will only be regarded as a symbol of weakness.

In the seriousness of the "rebellious" Parisian people, marriage is only based on the combination of the two interests, and only the lover is the destination of their own feelings.

"Your Excellency? Your Excellency?"

The voice of Marquis Allais returned to the ear of Jerome Bonaparte. Jerome Bonaparte, who had recovered, showed an apologetic smile and said to Marquis Allais: "I'm really sorry!"

"No...nothing!" Marquis Allais responded to Jerome Bonaparte: "Thank you for being able to sit down and listen to me!"

"Monsieur Marquis! I have a suggestion!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Marquis Allais.

"You said it!" Marquis Alai made an expression of listening attentively.

"Mr. Marquis, I wonder if you are interested in returning to the navy!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Marquis Allais: "I thought that someone like you should not condescend here!"

Jerome Bonaparte's words made Marquis Allais' mind go blank for a while.

Of course he would not be willing to leave the Navy if he hadn't been forced to retire.

"General... Your Excellency, thank you very much..." Count Allai shivered, his body trembling slightly with excitement.

"Nothing! It's just a gesture!" said Jerome Bonaparte to the Marquis of Allais.

Afterwards, he glanced at the time on his pocket watch. It was already 7:30 in the morning. A ray of sunlight came in through the window lattice of the mansion and shone on Jerome Bonaparte's face.

In the eyes of Marquis Allais, Jerome Bonaparte was like an angel who came down to save his soul.

"It's getting late! I'm going back to the Elysee Palace!" Jerome Bonaparte got up and said goodbye to Marquis Allais.

"Let me send one to you!" Marquis Allais hurriedly got up and said goodbye to Jerome Bonaparte.

Marquis Allais, who had planned to **** the president himself, was sending Jerome Bonaparte to the outside of the castle, but found a carriage waiting outside the castle and the palace guards around the carriage.

"Monsieur Marquis, please stop!" Jerome Bonaparte responded to Marquis Allais.

Under the watch of Marquis Allais, Jerome Bonaparte took a carriage to leave Marquis Allais' mansion.

Returning to the mansion, Marquis Alai hurried upstairs. He stopped in front of the Marquise's door and knocked gently on the door.

"Come in!" came the Marquise's voice.

Marquis Allai hurriedly entered the door, and he saw the Marchioness who was looking out of the window.

"You..." Marquis Alai couldn't help but want to ask.

"What's the matter?" The Marchioness turned to look at Marquis Allais with a smile.

"Nothing!" Marquis Alai shook his head and turned to leave.

Anyway, it's just a benefit couple, what qualifications do I have to take care of her.

Thinking of this, Marquis Alai showed a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth.

On the other hand, Jerome Bonaparte did not immediately return to the Elysee Palace as he had said, and took a chance at the Admiralty Building.

[The Minister of the Admiralty appointed by Jerome Bonaparte is a dutiful person who often goes to the port to inspect warships. The time he spends in the Admiralty can be said to be limited. Even so, he can always be excellent. mission accomplished. 】

When Jerome Bonaparte entered the Admiralty Building, almost all members of the Admiralty looked at Jerome Bonaparte.

"Is your minister there?" Jerome Bonaparte asked kindly~www.novelhall.com~ is there! exist! "The Admiralty's receptionist nodded in a chicken-pecking style.

"Take me to see him now!" Jerome Bonaparte called the Secretary of State for the Admiralty, and he led Jerome Bonaparte to the minister's office.

When Jerome Bonaparte gently pushed open the door of the Office of the Secretary of the Navy, he was a little surprised by the scene in front of him.

The piles of documents were visited on the minister's desk, leaving only a gap between the documents. In these gaps, Jerome Bonaparte saw the minister he appointed.

At this time, he was lying on the table with his hands as pillows. It seemed that he was asleep. The chandelier and candles hanging on the ceiling of the minister's office had been burned out, leaving only strands of white tobacco.

Various indications infer that the Secretary of the Navy probably did not rest overnight.

The Secretary of State shook his head. He wanted to go and wake their ministers, but was stopped by Jerome Bonaballe.

"Your minister was here all night?"
