"But what?"

There was a look of joy on Dicko's face. Before he got a positive response from Jerome Bonaparte, he never thought that he could get two battalions of "Zuav" troops at once. The ideal situation is nothing but It was to obtain the right to fight with a battalion of "Zuav", and he hastily asked Jérôme Bonaparte.

The reason why Dicko has such violent mood swings is just because of the "discrimination" of a traditional army power against the navy.

For France, a traditional land power, the navy was just the icing on the cake when they were victorious.

Head-to-head on the European battlefield has always relied on the army, and the navy has little value at all.

Not to mention that during the Napoleonic Wars, a series of operations by the French navy made France completely lose the opportunity to log in to Britain, which in turn gave Britain the opportunity to defeat France, and France was "armed to the teeth" with the blessing of Britain's crazy money. coalition attack.

Had it not been for the invasion of Algeria in 1830 and the fact that the Kingdom of Orleans did not trust the army after 1830, the situation for the navy would only be more embarrassing than it is now.

In any country, the two arms of the navy and the army are vaguely opposed. Although the confrontation between the land and the sea is not like Showa Japan, the navy builds tanks and the army builds fleets, but it is still very difficult for the army to transfer its elite troops to the navy. difficult.

Even in France on the OTL world line, it was only after the Franco-Prussian War in 1870 that the navy and the army would "work together", and under the leadership of the government, by diverting their attention, the people temporarily downplayed the cession of Alsace-Lorraine the fact that colonial expansion was single-mindedly pursued.

Of course, this diversionary method only lasted a few short years.

After the collapse of the colonial cabinet government, the people once again recalled the humiliation suffered by France...

"I will order the War Department to deploy two battalions of Zuaf troops for you. However, the navy must assure me! Build a qualified unit in the Far East! This unit will be attached to the Foreign Legion! "Jérôme Bonaparte asked Dicko unhurriedly.

"This..." Dicko glanced at Jerome Bonaparte, hesitating on his face.

In all fairness, the conditions proposed by Jérôme Bonaparte are indeed heartwarming, but having the navy train troops for the army is really a bit...how to say it! Disappointing!

"How? Minister Dicko!" Jerome Bonaparte urged Dicko to make a decision as soon as possible.

"I promise you!" Dicko finally agreed to Jerome Bonaparte's request.

"By the way! When setting up a foreign corps in the Far East, it is best to recruit some guys who can teach them to read and write! Although they can bear hardships and stand hard work, they are disciplined..." Thinking of the use of "straw sandals" and "cloth shoes" by a certain Sichuan army in the Republic of China later The slogan taught the soldiers to stand in line, and Jerome Bonaparte felt a headache.

He simply handed over this headache to the Admiralty, he believed that Dicko would be able to train excellent soldiers for him.

At this time, Dicko didn't know what a desperate job he took over.

When the fleet arrived at the French Concession in Pudong in the Far East, the fleet followed the orders of the Minister of the Navy and began to plan the Far East Foreign Corps.

With the help of missionaries from Pudong, the Far East Foreign Legion of nearly 3,000 people was established.

Just when everyone thought they would soon be able to train a qualified team, this Seris-based team showed them what it means to be a mess.

The Fleet Commander, who was helpless, could only use the soldiers of Camp Zuaf who were preparing to attack Hawaii as instructors, and then used the "white translators" to conduct cramming training for the foreign corps.

Amid the complaints of the officers of the "Zuav" battalion and the soldiers of the Foreign Legion, the Far East Foreign Legion barely formed an army after three months.

After that, this unit became the first foreign corps established by France in the Far East, fighting for the cause of French expansion in the Far East.

That's all in the future...

"By the way, who are you going to be the commander of the fleet that is going to the Far East?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Dicko while sitting on the long chair belonging to Dicko.

"I plan to have the Marquis of Allais in this position!" Dicko said to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Huh?" Jerome Bonaparte gave Dicko a surprised look, and asked suspiciously, "As far as I know, the rank of Marquis Allais before he left was colonel, right?"

"That's right!" Dick said, nodding his head.

"The current fleet commander in the Far East has the rank of brigadier general! Are you going to let a colonel command a brigadier general? What's more, this colonel has just returned to the army!" Jerome Bonaparte licked the corner of his dry mouth, revealing that smiled.

"Your Excellency, I think Marquis Allais is capable enough to hold the position of brigadier general!" Jerome Bonaparte responded with a firm tone.

"Where's the previous brigadier general?" Jerome Bonaparte asked the current "Emperor" Trotter of the Far East Fleet again.

"I have decided that Brigadier General Tomeran will immediately resign and return after the arrival of Marquis Allais!" When talking about Tomeran, Dicko's tone was a bit complaining.

If Tomelang's operation in the Kingdom of Hawaii was successful, Dicko only complained in his heart that Tomelang didn't play cards according to "common sense", but the operation of Tomelang's sneak attack on the Kingdom of Hawaii was not successful, but instead gained "humiliation" s failure.

Although Tommelang proudly claimed in the letter that he had caused Hawaii to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars and robbed the King of Hawaii's private car, failure was a failure, and no excuse could make up for this failure.

As the "Supreme Emperor" of the Far East, he can only taste the taste of failure alone, and Brigadier General Tomei Lang will probably be sitting on the bench in the next fate.

Unless Dicko dies suddenly in the office one day.

Jérôme Bonaparte had no interest in holding Tommelan accountable, since Dicko was in charge of the job.

After a brief understanding of Dicko's strategy and candidates for the expedition fleet in Hawaii, Jerome Bonaparte did not continue to inquire.

"Okay! It's time for me to go!" Jerome Bonaparte took out a pocket watch from his bosom, opened it and glanced down at the time.

It was 11 o'clock in the evening, he got up quickly, and Dicko sent Jerome Bonaparte out of the Admiralty.

Before boarding the car, Jérôme Bonaparte continued to ask Dico to take a good rest.

Dicko fully agreed to Jerome Bonaparte's request and watched Jerome Bonaparte's carriage disappear into the night. Dicko resolutely returned to the minister's office to deal with documents despite the State Secretary's dissuasion.

sleep? Only lazy people sleep, and hardworking people have already started to work.

...

Over the next few months, the rebellion between the Republicans and the Mountains gradually died down, and the rumors that the Prince of Joanville would be registered in Calais were self-defeating.

After Jérôme Bonaparte and the Minister of War had some "talking and heart-to-heart", the Minister of War also agreed that the "Zuav" troops of the two battalions should be placed under the name of the Admiralty.

After that, the "Zuav" battalion, which had only 7 battalions remaining, was doubled again to 14 battalions.

At the same time, the Far East Foreign Corps, which has always had 3,000 people, was also quietly attached to the Bureau of Colonial Affairs of the Ministry of War.

At the end of March, the Minister of the Navy, Dicko, appointed the Marquis of Alai as commander of the expeditionary fleet and promoted him to the rank of brigadier general.

At the beginning of April, five third-tier battleship fleets and steam frigates set off from the Calais Strait, and the nervous kingdom of Britain on the other side of the ocean also moved quickly.

That night, British Ambassador Cowley went to the Tuileries Palace to inquire about the whereabouts of Jerome Bonaparte's French fleet.

When he got Jerome Bonaparte's fleet to go on duty in the Far East, Ambassador Cowley's nervousness eased, and then he asked the French fleet in a relaxed tone if they needed the help of the British coastal base.

Adhering to the principle that it is a fool to take advantage without taking advantage of it, Jerome Bonaparte resolutely stated that of course he needed it.

This is also conducive to closer cooperation between Britain and France.

Of course, Jérôme Bonaparte did not tell the British fleet that it was necessary to punish the Kingdom of Hawaii, but expressed vaguely that it was to protect the diaspora in the Far East.

For Jerome Bonaparte's vague remarks, Ambassador Cowley also would not believe it.

The next day, Ambassador Cowley issued a warning to Britain, warning Britain to keep an eye on what the fleet was doing to the Far East.

The British who received the letter from Ambassador Cowley were also nervous about the fleet heading to the Far East.

Had it not been for the obstruction of Foreign Secretary Palmerston, the Cabinet would have been monitoring the French fleet as an "enemy" because of Ambassador Cowley's letter.

Under the influence of Palmerston, Britain finally did not fall into the state of being in a state of war. ~www.novelhall.com~ The shadow of Napoleon's war brought serious trauma to Britain's heart.

Even so, the relationship between Britain and France was still in a state of estrangement throughout April, and Nicholas I, who seized the opportunity, quickly handed an olive branch to Britain.

As the anti-Russian faction in Britain served as foreign minister, Britain did not take the olive branch handed over by the Russian Empire.

Nicholas I was displeased by Britain's blatant disregard for the Russian Empire, and Russian-British relations began to drift apart.

On April 15, 1851, the state of martial law in Paris, which was originally under tension, was also lifted, and the 1st Division of Paris returned to the suburbs of Paris.

The National Guard of the Twelfth Legion in Paris also began to be gradually abandoned under the order of Jerome Bonaparte, leaving only six legions loyal to Bonaparte and the Empire.

On April 20, the World's Fair, hosted by Prince Albert, will open on May 1.

Leaders of dozens of countries, including France, Russia, Austria, Prussia, and the United States, were personally invited by Queen Victoria to bring their country's "crystal" to Britain. .
