As Jerome Bonaparte quelled the dissension within the family, the plan to go to Constantinople proceeded methodically.

In order to prevent Paris from falling into a small-scale chaos because of his departure, Jerome Bonaparte summoned Niel and Rouet again and told them not to bring him to Constantinople until he arrived in Constantinople. News of his trip to Constantinople spread.

Niel and Rouet assured Jerome Bonaparte that they would strictly restrain their subordinates.

After Nieril and Rouet left, Jerome Bonaparte ordered Mocart to go to the headquarters of Le Bonaparte and Le French, to tell them that he was about to go to the port of Toulon for inspection.

After receiving the order, Mokar immediately went to the headquarters of the two newspapers to inform them of the news.

After a long time, Mocart came to Jerome Bonaparte's side to return to life.

"You did a great job!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded with satisfaction, and then exhorted: "While I am away, your task is to assist my sister Mathilde! You must be like Serve Princess Mathilde as you served me!"

"Your Majesty, I will definitely obey your orders!" Mocar replied to Jerome Bonaparte, and then emphasized: "But I may not be able to serve Princess Mathilde wholeheartedly, because I serve There is one and only one monarch, and that is you, Your Majesty!"

Hearing Mocart's flattering reply, a pleasant smile appeared on Jerome Bonaparte's face.

Then, Jerome Bonaparte waved his hand and asked Mocart to leave the study.

Jerome Bonaparte, who was alone in the study, continued to process the documents from the secretary's office.



With the passage of time, Jerome Bonaparte soon came to the day of departure.

Just when the early morning light pierced the deep night, Jerome Bonaparte got out of bed under the servant's service and got up.

After a simple breakfast, he took the suitcase that he had prepared the day before (Mocar originally helped Jerome Bonaparte with the suitcase, but was stopped by Jerome Bonaparte) and arrived in Paris by carriage. A temporary (military) railway station in the suburbs.

It was only half past seven when Jerome Bonaparte entered the train platform.

At this time, there were only Jerome Bonaparte and the soldiers who were responsible for escorting him on the railway station platform. After a while, with the sound of a loud whistle coming from a distance, he on the platform understood that the train was about to arrive at the platform.

"Richard, why haven't you come yet!" Jerome frowned and muttered in a low voice.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps behind Jerome Bonaparte, followed by Richard Metternich's panting voice: "Your Majesty!"

"It's still on time!" said Jerome Bonaparte lightly.

Another five minutes passed, and the steam train slowly stopped on the platform.

This is a steam train with three carriages. The front and rear two carriages of the train are converted from carriages for transporting goods into troop carriages. The soldiers standing neatly on the troop carriages will be the best of Jerome Bonaparte's trip. important guardian.

And the middle carriage is the next "temporary residence" for Jerome Bonaparte and Richard Metternich.

After Jerome Bonaparte and Richard Metternich got into the train, they found that the car they lived in not only had a bed fixed to the ground, but also a desk for office, hanging from the wall of the car. Wait... Not only that, but they also found packaged cans and high-end cigarettes and imported cigars produced by North Industries Group in the drawers of their desks.

Jerome Bonaparte opened the humidor to remove a cigar and asked Richard Metternich, "Richard, do you want to smoke?"

Richard Metternich nodded, Jerome Bonaparte threw the cigar and the matchbox to him, then took out a cigar from the humidor, and took out a match from the drawer to light the cigar again.

After a while, wisps of white smoke drifted down the car window to the field beyond the railroad tracks, and then gradually disappeared.



When Jerome Bonaparte and Richard Metternich arrived in Toulon, it was the afternoon of the second day.

Those responsible for welcoming Jérôme Bonaparte on the platform were Admiral Dicko and his admirals, as well as industrial and commercial magnates in Toulon and its vicinity.

When they received the news that Jerome Bonaparte was going to visit Toulon, they came to wait near the train platform early for nearly two hours.

As for why the Admiralty is in Toulon, of course, it is because of his hands-on attitude towards naval affairs.

Since the construction of the new warships began, he had traveled between Toulon and Paris from time to time, but this time he just happened to be in Toulon.

Of course, in addition to supervising the construction of new warships, Dicko is also responsible for the transportation of supplies from Toulon to Sevastopol, and can be regarded as the busiest person in the entire cabinet.

If it wasn't for the emperor who arrived this time, Dick would never come in person.

In his opinion, every second he stands here is a blasphemy to the naval career.

The whistle of the steam train reached Dicko's melancholy face and finally relieved, he turned his head and smiled to the general behind him: "Your Majesty is coming!"

The admiral standing behind Minister Dicko did not doubt Minister Dicko's judgment in the slightest, and they also issued an order to prepare like a naval band.

After about 5 minutes, the train carrying Jerome Bonaparte and Richard Metternich stopped steadily in front of Minister Dicko.

Seeing Jerome Bonaparte and Richard Metternich in the carriage, Minister Dicko had a surprised expression on his face. Why did Richard Metternich, the master of the Austrian Empire, come here with His Majesty?

The doubtful Minister Dicko walked quickly to the door of the carriage. After Jerome Bonaparte walked out of the carriage, he gave Minister Dicko a hug, "Thank you for your hard work!"

"It's not hard!" Minister Dicko shook his head.

Then, under the introduction of Minister Dicko, Jerome Bonaparte shook hands with the admiral and the industrial and commercial giants, and gave them a few words of encouragement.

Everyone who shook hands with Jérôme Bonaparte showed excited expressions, as if the fans of later generations met the big stars.

From a certain point of view, Jerome Bonaparte is indeed a "star", and he is also a "big star" who has learned to market.

After the introduction of the generals and the giants, Minister Dicko told Jerome Bonaparte that he had arranged a grand welcome ceremony for him at the Toulon naval port. The ceremony was held in the most luxurious hotel in Toulon.

"There is no need for the ceremony!" Jerome Bonaparte refused under the eager eyes of the industrial and commercial giants, "I am more concerned about the progress of the new warships than the so-called welcome ceremony!"

"After continuous improvement by the team under the naval department, we have built a ship with better performance than the previous "Napoleon" (the original ironclad, currently on patrol in the Black Sea)! If you don't mind, I will now I'll take you there!" said Minister Dicko to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Yes!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded, then asked Richard Metternich: "Richard, are you willing to accompany me?"

"It's my honor, Your Majesty!" Richard Metternich replied to Jerome Bonaparte. He also wanted to see what the so-called new warship was talking about by Minister Dicko.

Dicko, Jérôme Bonaparte and Richard Metternich gave up the welcome ceremony and changed to a carriage to go to the port of Toulon with Minister Dicko.

During the time he went to the military port of Toulon, Minister Dicko carefully asked Jerome Bonaparte why Ambassador Richard Metternich appeared here.

"Dico, in fact, Richard Metternich and I are not going to Toulon! Toulon is just a transit point for us, our goal is Constantinople!" Jerome Bona Bar responded to Dicko.

"Ah!" Dicko was taken aback when he heard Jerome Bonaparte's answer, "Your Majesty, you... just said you were going to Constantinople?"

"That's right!" Jerome Bonaparte said rightfully: "Constantinople is the final destination!"

"Paris..." Dicko asked Jérôme Bonaparte again.

"You don't need to worry about this, I have already arranged it! You just need to carry out your work step by step!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Dicko.

Then Jerome Bonaparte, in front of Richard Metternich, inquired about the number of ships departing from Toulon naval port every day.

Dicko told Jérôme Bonaparte that hundreds of thousands of ships would travel between the two places every day, and that France was fully capable of supplying an additional 150,000 people to fight.

Dicko's answer shocked Richard Metternich, who wanted the port of Venice.

If the warships in Dicko's mouth attack Venice, they may also be reduced to the same result as the Russian Empire.

"Your Majesty, we have now figured out the idea of ​​​​the new battleship, and UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is currently optimizing it step by step!" Minister Dicko responded to Grom Bonaparte.

"Very good!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded and praised: "We only need to be steady and steady, and we won't be able to catch up with Britain and narrow the gap with Britain!"

When the carriage came to the front of the trestle, it slowly stopped, and the horse Pi in the driver's seat said to the "noble man" in the carriage, "Your Majesty, Your Excellency Minister, we have arrived!"

The three of Jerome Bonaparte slowly got off the carriage, and the admirals and business giants who followed behind you also followed closely behind.

At this time, the military port of Toulon was still busy, with merchant ships coming and going, transporting industrial products (including cans, rails, and artillery) from all over France to the Crimean Peninsula (part of which was already in the Syrian province of Ottoman). ) to keep the war going.
