"Long time no see! Commander Raglan!" Jerome Bonaparte smiled and looked at Marshal Raglan, "Perhaps I should call you Marshal Raglan!"

"Your Majesty, you can call me whatever you want!" Marshal Raglan stood up straight and said to Jerome Bonaparte neither humble nor arrogant.

"Let's call it Marshal Raglan!" Jerome Bonaparte stretched out his hand and invited Raglan to sit down: "Marshal Raglan, please take a seat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Marshal Raglan saluted Jerome Bonaparte and sat on his left.

Afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte also invited the Sardinian War Minister Marshal La Maramore and the Ottoman Empire Omar Pasha to sit on the other side.

After everyone was seated, Jerome Bonaparte bluntly asked Marshal Raglan: "Marshal Raglan, I guess your purpose here is not just to visit me!"

Marshal Raglan was surprised by Jérôme Bonaparte's outspokenness.

However, since His Majesty the Emperor has already said so, Raglan does not want to follow the detours of the ministers in the British cabinet.

Marshal Raglan nodded slightly and told Jerome Bonaparte that his purpose of coming this time was not only to bring greetings and blessings from the British team to Jerome Bonaparte, but also to euphemistically ask Jerome on behalf of the British army. . When did Bonaparte leave the Crimea.

"The purpose of my trip is not only to honor the heroes of Crimea, but also to give spiritual encouragement to the soldiers on the front line!" Jerome Bonaparte said: "So, in a short period of time, I'm not leaving Crimea!"

"Then I wish Your Majesty a pleasant journey in Crimea!" Marshal Raglan said to Jerome Bonaparte, with a hint of complaint in his words.

Afterwards, after a long chat between Jerome Bonaparte and Marshal Raglan, Marshal La Maramour, and Omar Pasha, Marshal Raglan and others turned to Jerome Bona. Baba farewell.

Looking at the back of Marshal Raglan leaving, a sneer appeared on Jerome Bonaparte's face. He muttered softly, "It seems that some people don't want me to stay here!"

Raglan, who had left the French expeditionary barracks, was surrounded by the Duke of Cambridge and others as soon as he returned to the British barracks. They asked Marshal Raglan when Emperor Jerome Bonaparte left the Crimean Peninsula.

"Emperor Jerome told me that he will not leave here in a short time!" Marshal Raglan reluctantly said to the military commanders present.

As soon as this statement came out, the military commander immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

Due to the excellent performance of the French army in Arma and Sevastopol, the entire coalition force has gradually changed from the original two-headed command to the current single-level command with the French army as the center.

The advantage of this is to reduce the internal friction between the army and the army, and it can make the loose coalition forces into a whole.

However, the downside is that the British army has less and less influence in the coalition forces. Before the start of the Sevastopol war, Omar Pasha of the Ottoman Empire was more inclined to follow the command of Marshal Raglan, the Sevastopol war. After the end, Omar's position was in favor of the French army.

If it wasn't for the fact that Commander Raglan was promoted to field marshal, and Pelissier had not been promoted to field marshal, I am afraid that the Kingdom of Britain could only command the army under his own.

Now that Emperor Jerome Bonaparte, who is the supreme commander of France, has arrived in Sevastopol, the entire British army has to face a problem, whether they should obey the French army's dispatch.

Because judging from the rank and power of the coalition, Jerome Bonaparte had obviously far surpassed Commander Raglan.

Unless Commander Raglan invites Queen Victoria to the Crimea peninsula, the entire coalition force will be under his command unconditionally.

If Jérôme Bonaparte could lead them to victory like Emperor Napoleon did, that's all!

The key is that Jerome Bonaparte can't produce a convincing record at all, just like the Duke of Cambridge at the time, so the British army has reason to doubt the military level of Jerome Bonaparte.

This also caused divisions within Britain: if the supreme command of the French army really changed from Perissier to Jerome Bonaparte, should they obey the command of the Allied Forces?

That's why Marshal Raglan went to the French headquarters to ask Jerome Bonaparte whether he would stay in the Crimea for a long time.

"Why don't we report this news to London! It is up to London to negotiate with France, so that His Majesty Jerome Bonaparte may be able to leave!" One of the officers put forward his own thoughts.

"I'm afraid London won't be able to persuade him!" Another officer poured cold water on him and said: "Don't you understand what France is like now? The entire empire revolves around the French emperor alone, and the current French emperor Who wants to imitate his uncle! How can those who stay in Paris be persuaded!"

"Then do we still have to follow the advice of the French command?"

"My opinion can be heard, but it will be implemented according to the situation! We are the troops of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, not the troops of Her Majesty Emperor Jerome Bonaparte!"



The British officers shouted around Marshal Raglan, and gradually an impatient look appeared on Marshal Raglan's face.

"Quiet!" Marshal Raglan raised his voice and shouted to everyone present.

All the officers stopped speaking and turned their attention back to Marshal Raglan.

"Are you discussing things like this, or arguing!" Marshal Raglan reprimanded loudly, and then said to the Duke of Cambridge: "What do you think?"

"Your Excellency Marshal, I think a colleague just said it was good!" The Duke of Cambridge raised his chest and spoke eloquently: "We can follow the advice of the French Empire, but only if this advice is beneficial to our army! If France If the Empire is really ready to let us die, we can also act according to our own will!

After all, the French army and the British army are only united, not the French annexation of Britain! Everyone present still maintains control over the army! "

"This is indeed a solution!" Marshal Raglan nodded.

To be honest, he also does not want to have a deadlock with the French Empire. Now the entire Crimean Peninsula relies on the French army for high-intensity output.

If the relationship with France is really strained, it will only cost the Russian Empire.

But Commander Raglan was afraid that Jerome Bonaparte was the kind of king who had no b-number and liked to show his power.

There is a saying that one general is incompetent, and the three armies are exhausted.

The fun-loving monarch is an epic disaster for the military.

Forget it, watch it for a while!

Marshal Raglan thought to himself.



After Jerome Bonaparte had settled in Sevastopol, two telegrams came to Sevastopol.

One is from Queen Augusta and the other is from Princess Mathilde.

Let's talk about Queen Augusta's telegram. In the telegram, she expressed her understanding of Jerome Bonaparte's trip to the Crimea Peninsula, and hoped that Jerome Bonaparte could protect herself as much as possible. For the safety of life, if there is any need, send a telegram to Paris at once, and Augusta will immediately order Paris to prepare.

At the end of the letter, Augusta told Jerome Bonaparte that his life belonged not only to himself, but to the whole of France.

She will tell him/her after the child is born that his/her father is fighting for the whole of France.

The tone of Princess Mathilde's telegram was obviously not as good as that of Queen Augusta. In the telegram, Mathilde called Jerome Bonaparte's trip to the Crimea peninsula inappropriate. Responsible and childish.

Of course, at the end of the letter, Princess Mathilde still couldn't forget to tell Jerome Bonaparte to pay attention to safety. She didn't want her nephew/niece who was about to be born to have no father.

After reading the two telegrams, Jérôme Bonaparte found the French army correspondent "Le Bonaparte", and showed him the telegram of the Queen Augusta.

"Mr. Reporter, I think you should pay more attention to your surroundings! Military news is not only about how many enemies the army has defeated and how many victories have been won! Little things can make people feel more empathetic!" Jerome . Bonaparte makes a proposal to the journalists accompanying the army.

It was suggested that he write an article with the core content of the soldier's wife's attitude towards war.

Of course, the article focuses on the positive image of military wives during the war.

The reporters in the army who were instructed by Jerome Bonaparte immediately understood what Jerome Bonaparte meant. After leaving the command, he hurriedly went to the barracks to find several French officers, and asked to know what their wives were about. their attitude to war.

The officers cooperated very well with the letters their wives wrote to them. After reading the letters, the reporters accompanying the army wrote an article titled "Marrying the Army's Wife" overnight.

The article uses the wives of several officers he chose as typical cases to promote the justice of the French army against the Russian imperial army in the Crimea peninsula.

At the same time, at the end of the article, the military reporter also pointed out that Queen Augusta also wrote a letter for Her Majesty the Emperor. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

As soon as this article came out, it immediately ushered in heated discussions, and many Paris residents were moved to tears after reading this article.

There are also many people who are very interested in the content of the telegram written by Queen Augusta to Her Majesty the Emperor.

So, on the third day after the article was published, Jerome Bonaparte ordered that the telegram written to him by Augusta be exposed.

Through the telegram, the people of Paris saw a well-known Queen Dali, whose love for France did not belong to any real French.

A large number of Paris residents began to spontaneously send their blessings to Queen Augusta, and the popularity of Queen Augusta and Jerome Bonaparte rose again out of thin air.
