After the new warship was named "Friendship" by Jerome Bonaparte, he asked Minister Dick if he could take him into the "Friendship" for a tour.

"Your Majesty, the Friendship already belongs to you and to the entire French Empire!" Minister Dicko replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

Subsequently, Jerome Bonaparte and others called the boat to board the deck of the Ironclad Friendship.

After receiving the news of the arrival of Jerome Bonaparte and Admiral Dicko, the captain in charge of the new ironclad hurriedly called the sailors in the ironclad to gather on the deck.

Since the construction of the Friendship Ironclad was completed in less than two months, and the entire ship has not really performed an **** mission, the sailors on the Ironclad are still in a dissatisfied state of 430 people (570 fully equipped)

Four hundred sailors stood on the deck and looked at Jerome Bonaparte and Dicko who were directly in front of them. Many of them had excited expressions on their faces. This was their first close encounter with the emperor's nephew. .

Looking at the dark soldiers in front of him, Jerome Bonaparte did not speak, but walked among them, shook hands with them, and asked their names and places of residence.

Almost every soldier who shook hands with Jerome Bonaparte told him this information in a trembling voice.

When Jerome Bonaparte shook hands with all the soldiers, more than an hour had passed.

Then, Jerome Bonaparte stood in front of them again, praising their dedication to France and encouraging them to build a navy that is not inferior to the kingdom of Britain.

"We have to prove to Britain that not only are we stronger than the British army in terms of the army, but also in terms of the navy, we are also as good as the British navy! Build an independent naval fleet, one that I and Dicko share. I believe that with such a fleet France will be able to spread its civilization to every corner of the world! Let the indigenous civilizations in the world learn French spontaneously and become a part of the French world!” Jerome Bona Ba said in a high voice.

In front of this new group of ironclad sailors, Jerome Bonaparte tried his best to use euphemisms to instill his colonial ideas into the sailors.

In his mind, the role of the French fleet is not only to challenge the British sea power, but also to expand the French colony.

Therefore, a strong navy is a necessary condition for France!

"So, I hope you can act as much as possible! In order to build a strong navy, I myself will support you with 12 points of spirit! I believe that with the joint efforts of both of us, France will be able to success!"

As soon as Jerome Bonaparte's voice fell, the captain of the Ironclad Friendship immediately began to applaud, and the sailors on the Ironclad also applauded for Jerome Bonaparte.

Thunderous applause appeared on the ironclad, and after a while, under the order of Jerome Bonaparte, the applause gradually subsided.

Then, Jérôme Bonaparte, like the captain, gave an order to disband.

"Everyone has it! Disband!" The captain said in a loud voice to the members standing on the deck.

The sailors on deck obeyed the captain's order and returned to their respective posts, and then the captain came to Jerome Bonaparte and stood with Minister Dicko.

"I hope that the Friendship can be my ship to Constantinople this time!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Minister Dicko.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured! I will definitely prepare all the personnel before departure!" Minister Dick said immediately.

"Very good!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded, and then jokingly said to Minister Dicko: "Dike, this battleship has been requisitioned by me!"

"Your Majesty, this is your fleet!" Dicko replied in a submissive tone, then turned to the captain and explained the task of escorting Jerome Bonaparte to Constantinople.

"I will definitely complete it successfully!" The captain responded in a sonorous tone.

"Since everyone has come, why don't we have a meal here?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Richard Metternich.

Richard Metternich nodded slightly and said that he had never eaten on a battleship.

"You have to work hard! If Ambassador Richard is not satisfied, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Jerome Bonaparte said to the captain in a playful tone.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured! Our warship has been equipped with the best chefs in the navy. Although it is not as good as your chef at the Tuileries Palace, it is also unique. I believe it will make Richard M. De is satisfied!" said the captain diligently to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Yeah? Even I'm a little jealous of the chefs in their fleet!" Minister Dicko also smiled and said.

Since ancient times, the navy's treatment has been the most generous of all arms, not only because there are a large number of noble officers in the naval army, but also because the price of training a qualified naval soldier is almost the same as his equivalent of gold.

So, almost all countries will have the best chefs in their fleets.

Even if the future is like Japan, a country where the army is about to graze, the navy still enjoys super-national treatment.

British meals, pasta, many things Japanese have never seen in their entire lives are all things that sailors take for granted.

Therefore, the future battleship Yamato was also nicknamed the Yamato Restaurant.

The topic goes back to the Ironclad Friendship. As the first battleship made of iron shell, Dicko can be said to have put too much effort into it.

Therefore, the ironclad has been carefully selected by Dicko from the sailors to the restaurant chefs.

"That's good! I'll wait and see!" Jerome Bonaparte said with a smile: "By the way, where is the restaurant?"

"Your Majesty, please come with me!" The captain hurriedly led the way for Jerome Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte entered the interior of the hull and found the officers' cafeteria on the first floor (the interior of the hull is composed of no-floor spaces, of which the first and second are the rest and entertainment places for sailors and officers, and the third , The fourth floor is the place where artillery and steam engines are placed, and the materials stacked on the fifth floor are responsible for the ballast)

Entering the restaurant, Jérôme Bonaparte smiled and greeted the officers in the restaurant, then walked to a table near the corner and sat down.

After about half an hour, the chef of the ship's restaurant began to serve dishes.

Looking at the table full of dishes in front of him, Jerome Bonaparte also couldn't help thinking, whether the budget he allocated to the French Navy was a bit too much, foie gras, snails, steak... There is a table full, it is really a bit too much Too extravagant.

After all the dishes were finished, the chef brought two more bottles of wine from Bordeaux. Judging from the outsourcing of wine, this bottle of wine should also have some years.

The chef uncorked the wine and poured the wine into the glass.

Jerome Bonaparte picked up the wine glass, stood up and said loudly to everyone in the restaurant: "This first glass of wine, toast France, may the French Empire grow stronger day by day!"

All the officers present stood up, and they also raised their glasses and responded, "May the French Empire grow stronger day by day!"

Jerome Bonaparte drank the first glass of wine with everyone present, and then sat down again.

Afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte and the others chatted while eating. This small banquet lasted for nearly two hours.

When the last ray of the sunset reluctantly disappeared on the sea level, night came, and the light of the kerosene lamp replaced the time to illuminate the entire ironclad ship.

Jerome Bonaparte and others left the ship under the **** of the captain, and then took a small boat to the port.

Jerome Bonaparte, who was standing on the pier, stared at the sparkling sea. After a long time, he recovered and looked at Minister Dick beside him and said, "Where is our residence?"

"Your Majesty, please come with me!" Minister Dicko hurriedly responded.

Jerome Bonaparte, under the leadership of Minister Dick, came to the trestle again and looked into the distance through the trestle. At this time, the wharf where the goods were transported was still brightly lit, and workers were working tirelessly there.

After walking to the trestle on the side away from the pier, several carriages were parked there.

Jerome Bonaparte entered the carriage according to the combination when he came, and the carriage gradually accelerated forward under the illumination of the kerosene lamps on both sides.

After about 10 minutes, the carriage stopped in front of a castle.

"Your Majesty, it is here!" Minister Dick said to Jerome Bonaparte, pointing to the castle.

Jerome Bonaparte and others entered the castle, and the butler who was in charge of taking care of the castle hurriedly greeted him after seeing Dick and others coming.

"This is Your Majesty!" Minister Dicko introduced to the housekeeper.

"Your Majesty!" The butler, who had long known that the Emperor would arrive, hurriedly bowed to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Yeah!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded slightly, and then ordered the housekeeper to prepare a room for him and Richard Metternich to rest.

After the two of them slept beautifully in the castle (Richard Metternich wrote to Prince Metternich in the middle of the night to tell Prince Metternich that France had a war with new warships), Jerome Bona Bar, accompanied by Minister Dicko, went to Toulon City Hall to meet the senior bureaucrats of Toulon City Hall.

Richard Metternich used this time to send a letter to the Austrian Empire.

That evening, a banquet was held in the Naval Club of Toulon, during which Jerome Bonaparte met all the admirals of the Toulon region.

Jerome Bonaparte also shook hands with them and encouraged them.

Over the next few days, Jérôme Bonaparte met in the château with some of Toulon's industrial and commercial magnates to inquire about the progress of their enterprises.

The giants have expressed that, thanks to his Hongfu (release of water), their enterprises are in a stage of rapid development, and the scale of many factories has more than doubled compared to the original, and their enterprises are still absorbing workers continuously.
