Richard Metternich, who was standing on the trestle of the military port, looked at the workers who were working in an orderly manner on the distant transport port wharf, with a hint of surprise on his face.

Of course, Richard Metternich was not surprised by the workers at the port, but by the strict discipline of the workers.

The workers on the dock are like ants working on a fixed trajectory, and their discipline is comparable to that of a part of the regular army. He really can't figure out what force is keeping them perfectly in place.

Even the stevedores on the London and Seine quays are not like them, and their Vienna stevedores are worse than the previous two.

Richard Metternich couldn't help but suspect that the stevedores in front of him were regular troops.

At this moment, Jerome Bonaparte's voice reached Richard Metternich's ear and said, "You manage the military port well!"

"This is all thanks to you!" Minister Dick said to Jerome Bonaparte: "If it weren't for the management method you designed, the Toulon Naval Port would not have become what it is now!"

management method?

Richard Metternich glanced at Jerome Bonaparte subconsciously. Judging from what Minister Dicko said just now, the reason why the port of Toulon has become what it is now has something to do with Jerome Bonaparte.

For the first time, Richard Metternich felt that there really seemed to be an "almighty" monarch in this world. No matter which aspect, Jerome Bonaparte seemed to be involved.

Compared with Jérôme Bonaparte, the monarch he is loyal to is really far worse!

At this moment he suddenly wanted to ask Jerome Bonaparte how much he still had in his mind.

However, Richard Metternich did not rashly ask Jerome Bonaparte.

After all, Jerome Bonaparte is a monarch no matter what, so Richard Metternich's question is really overstepping his boundaries.

Just as Richard Metternich was thinking, he suddenly felt a hand fall on his shoulder.

He immediately came back to his senses and looked at the owner of the hand.

That's right! It was Jerome Bonaparte.

"Mr. Richard, what do you think?" Jerome Bonaparte patted Richard Metternich proudly and asked Richard Metternich.

"Your Majesty, I think Minister Dicko has managed the port very well! Although there are many workers in the port, every worker is working in an orderly manner." Richard Metternich complimented Jerome Bonaparte responded with a sentence.

Then the conversation changed, and he summoned the courage to ask Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, what is the management method that Minister Dicko just said?"

"This!" Jerome Bonaparte pondered for a moment, then told Richard Metternich: "Actually, it's not a secret, just enough money and strict discipline are enough!

Wages for workers working in such ports are not paid monthly, but are paid on a per-piece basis. The price of transporting different things on the ship is different, and each transport link is closely linked with the next transport link. If any link is delayed, the workers in the entire link will suffer losses.

Therefore, if they want to get this salary, they must strictly restrain themselves and at the same time supervise the workers in the last transportation process.

If there is a flaw in any transportation process, then this person will be crowded out by the workers in the entire link, and then be forced to leave here! "

The management method mentioned by Jérôme Bonaparte is essentially the use of "hardworking" workers to rule "lazy" workers. When the "lazy" workers are all excluded, the hardworking workers will naturally occupy the majority. .

"Is this all right?" Richard Metternich showed a little doubt on his face, he didn't believe what Jerome Bonaparte said.

"That's it!" Jerome Bonaparte responded to Richard Metternich with a firm tone. He didn't want to tell Richard Mette about the establishment of a yellow trade union in the Toulon naval port. nirvana.

Yes, the truth is exactly what Richard Metternich thought.

It is an idiot to want to control the workers just by simple supervision, so Jerome Bonaparte also set up a yellow labor union. The purpose of this yellow labor union is to seek welfare for the workers on the surface. In fact, it is Jerome Bonaparte. Something that Pakistan set up to prevent the establishment of genuine unions, it was designed to weaken the will of those who wanted to rebel against the workers.

It just takes the "workers" (scabs) in the union to spread some rumors, for example: the Italians may come to **** their jobs, so that the workers in the port have a sense of employment crisis, in this case, they will be obedient.

After all, every year, a large number of Italians in southern France enter France for work through Savoy and Nice, and their prices are lower than the prices of native French workers, so many businessmen prefer to hire those lovely, hard-working Italians.

Of course, they could also protest in solidarity with the Italians, but the workers' consciousness in this period was not yet so high.

But even if they really wanted to unite, Jerome Bonaparte would have ordered them to be destroyed.

In the 19th century, when nationalism was on the rise, calling for great proletarian unity was basically impossible.

The reason why Jerome Bonaparte was reluctant to tell Richard Metternich about the yellow union was that he did not want the Austrian Empire to accelerate too fast.

Yellow unions and nationalism are the best combination, and the Austrian Empire's use of nationalism is only a dead end.

Seeing that Richard Metternich still had doubts, Jerome Bonaparte decisively ended the conversation, and then ordered Minister Dick to take them to the location of the new battleship.

Under the leadership of Minister Dick, Jerome Bonaparte and Richard Metternich walked to the end of the trestle and arrived at the location where the French battleship was berthed.

Richard Metternich's expression gradually changed from indifference to shock, because what caught his eyes was a row of battleships, which stood neatly on the sea like giants, giving people a sense of greatness. impact.

In front of the giant battleship, anyone will feel how small they are!

At this time, Richard Metternich couldn't help but think of the battleships of the Austrian Empire in the port of Venice. Compared with the battleships in front of him, the battleships in the port of Venice were like children playing at home.

The battleships in front of them are only part of the French naval port in Toulon, and some of the battleships are now in the Black Sea area.

If these two parts are added together, it should be comparable to the British fleet in the Mediterranean! Richard Metternich thought to himself.

When Richard Metternich glanced at the battleships in the naval port one by one, his gaze stayed on the battleship in the middle.

Because this battleship is very different from other battleships, other battleships are made of wood as the hull, and this battleship is made of a mixture of human iron hull and oak. Laying a layer of steel plate (12.7mm armored deck, from the perspective of later generations, the ability of this armored deck to defend against artillery is not too strong, but at least it pointed out the direction for later ironclad ships)

This method of making battleships out of iron can be said to subvert Richard Metternich's "common sense", making him wonder whether the battleship in front of him can be used for real combat.

"Your Majesty, we used the iron hull according to your instructions, and at the same time laid an armored deck on the iron hull to increase the defense capability of the entire ship.

However, due to the iron hull used in the hull itself, in order to reduce its weight, we have reduced 6 164mm guns ("Napoleon" is equipped with 36 164mm guns) based on the experience of the previous warship. Minister Dickon explained to Jerome Bonaparte incessantly: "The length of this ship is 83.26 meters, the width is 16.7 meters, the displacement is 6326 tons, and its draft and speed are 9.7 meters and 9.7 meters respectively. Section 12.5…”

After Minister Dicko told Jerome Bonaparte all the data of the fleet, Jerome Bonaparte was compared with the previous "Napoleon".

No matter in terms of captain (Napoleon is 17 meters long), displacement (5529 tons), or speed (11.75 knots), this fleet is far superior to Napoleon.

It can be said to be the first ironclad ship in the true sense. Of course, the "Napoleon" can also be regarded as an ironclad ship.

After all, with Napoleon as a pioneer, this new warship can be born smoothly.

"You are doing well!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded, and then asked Minister Dick if he had named the battleship.

"Your Majesty, if you don't mind, we want to name it after you!" Minister Dicko responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

"My name? It's inappropriate!" Jerome Bonaparte shook his head.

"Then it's up to you to name it!" Minister Dicko handed over the naming rights of the battleship to Jerome Bonaparte. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Jerome Bonaparte took a careful look at the battleship in front of him, and then glanced at Richard Metternich: "Mr. Richard, what name do you think I should give him!"

"Your Majesty, it's up to you!" Richard Metternich replied immediately, and he also expected what kind of name Jerome Bonaparte would give the ship.

After pacing back and forth for a few laps, Jerome Bonaparte looked again at the battleship in front of him: "Since this battleship was accompanied by Richard Metternich to watch it, it should be called the Friendship. I hope the friendship between the French Empire and the Austrian Empire can be as indestructible as this warship. What do you say! Mr. Richard!"

"Your Majesty, this name couldn't be more appropriate!"
