Make France Great Again - Chapter 897

Jerome Bonaparte’s suggestion was not adopted by the ambassador, who finally chose to negotiate with Britain as soon as possible.
“Your Majesty, thank you for your suggestion!” Post envoy responded to Jerome Bonaparte, “However, I still hope to have peace talks as soon as possible!
For every day it drags on, the British army inflicts huge losses on our country. ”
After a moment of silence, Jerome Bonaparte shrugged his shoulders, and the ambassador replied: “Since you insist on negotiating as soon as possible, then I respect your opinion!
The envoy from the Kingdom of Britain should arrive in Paris in a week.
At that time, you can talk in detail at the Tuinleli Palace! ”
“Thank you very much!” A smile appeared on the Post’s face immediately. He understood that the reason why Jerome Bonaparte chose the venue for the talks at the Tuin-leuri Palace was to give them a hand during the negotiations.
If France were to remain strictly neutral, the meeting would have taken place at the Dock d’Orsay, not at the Palais Tuinlery.
“Nothing! Cough…cough!” Jerome Bonaparte cleared his throat and pretended to casually ask if the ambassador from Post was willing to buy some goods from the French Empire to facilitate exchanges between France and Persia.
The envoy Post immediately realized that Jerome Bonaparte’s subtext was to get some favors, and he hurriedly said that he really should buy some French “local products” in France.
It’s just that I don’t know France, so I don’t know what to buy.
Can you ask Emperor Jerome Bonaparte to recommend it on your behalf?
“When it comes to local products, no one understands the local products of France better than me!” Jerome Bonaparte immediately boasted and said to the Post envoy: “The other things in France may not be as good as some countries, but our rifles and artillery, It cannot be said to be the number one in the world, but it can also be called the forefront of the world.
I suggest you should buy a batch to equip in your army.
I believe that it will definitely improve your army’s combat capability by a large margin… I have read your battle report against the British Kingdom, and what your army lacks is qualified rifles and artillery!
Believe me, as long as you have qualified rifles and artillery, and then strengthen it, a certain degree of training will definitely be able to reshape your bones! ”
After listening to Jerome Bonaparte’s words, the expression of the envoy Post fell into a dull state. He never thought that the “local products” recommended by Emperor Jerome Bonaparte were so hard-core.
However, what Emperor Jerome Bonaparte said did have some truth. What their Persian kingdom lacked were advanced rifles and artillery.
As long as they have these, even if they can’t beat the British Kingdom, they can’t beat the rebel forces in the kingdom (mainly the ethnic minorities in Persia)!
Having figured this out, the Post envoy hurriedly responded to Jerome Bonaparte: “Your Majesty, we are willing to buy a batch of arms!”
】
“How much do you want!” Jerome Bonaparte’s eyes lit up and he asked enthusiastically.
“Just 10,000 rifles… OK?” Post envoy asked tentatively.
This time, Ambassador Post had no plans to buy French arms at all. Now that the incident happened suddenly, the diplomatic funds he could use could only buy 10,000 rifles at most.
“Mr. Farohe!” Jerome Bonaparte responded to the envoy Post in a low tone, “10,000 rifles can’t do anything at all, it has to be purchased on a large scale!”
“Large-scale purchases require His Majesty Nachel’s approval!” Ambassador Post replied to Jerome Bonaparte with a bitter face.
As soon as the ambassador’s voice fell, Jerome Bonaparte showed a displeased expression and said coldly to Farohe Han Armin Morque: “Mr Farohe, like this is beneficial to the country and the people. Good deeds, where do you still need to ask your king for instructions on everything!
If you need to ask for instructions on everything, then don’t talk about peace at all! ”
Jerome Bonaparte’s threatening remarks made Farroch Han Armin Morque’s face change instantly. He hurriedly told Jerome Bonaparte that the Kingdom of Yinlang was very willing to buy arms from France. .
“That’s it!” Jerome Bonaparte touched the chin of the first grade, and his face became kinder: “My suggestion is that you first buy 30,000 rifles and a hundred artillery pieces to enrich you The Praetorian Guard of the country!
Because once the peace talks are implemented, your country will inevitably suffer a certain backlash.
At this time, a well-equipped and loyal army becomes particularly important! ”
“You’re right!” Post envoy Aichen echoed, and then cautiously asked Jerome Bonaparte for the price.
Jerome Bonaparte told the ambassador that the price of 30,000 rifles and 100 12-pound Napoleonic bronze cannons was about 15 million to 17 million francs.
After listening to Jerome Bonaparte’s offer, the post envoy told Jerome Bonaparte that he was willing to announce that the Qajar dynasty would buy these, but he hoped to introduce some officers to France to train their army.
Of course, they are not free. They can pay every officer who arrives in the Qajar Dynasty a salary equivalent to 1.5 times their active duty salary per month.
If it is a general-level military commander, then the salary can be 2-3 times the original.
“This…” After Jérôme Bonaparte thought for a moment, the envoy Post replied reservedly: “I need to discuss it with the General Staff!
However, let me say in advance that even if I agree to your request, these officers will only arrive after you have completely ceased fighting with the Kingdom of Great Britain.
And all the officers do not represent the official attitude of France! ”
Farohe Han Amin Morke showed a fleeting loss. Originally, he wanted to introduce the French forces into Persia, so as to fill the vacuum left by the Russian Empire, so as to achieve the purpose of dynamic balance.
Now it seems that the emperor is only willing to sell arms dealers to them, and he will not care about the rest.
“Yeah!” Faroch Han Armin Morque nodded and responded to Jerome Bonaparte.
Then, Jerome Bonaparte glanced at the grandfather clock behind Farroch Han Armin Morque.
At this time, the fifteen minutes he said were over, and fifteen minutes had passed. He hurriedly said to Farohe Han Armin Morke: “Okay! It’s not too early! Our conversation should also end. It’s gone!”
Farohe Han Armin Morque got up quickly, and he bowed again to Jerome Bonaparte to thank him.
Jerome Bonaparte personally sent Farohe Han Armin Morque to the gate of the Tuinlery Palace and watched Faro He Han Armin Morque leave in a carriage.
Immediately afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte asked Basilio, who was following him, which room Niel and Vaillant had been arranged to, and Basilio hurriedly guided Jerome Bonaparte. .
At this moment, Minister Wayan and Chief of General Staff Niel in the room are still arguing about the improvement of the military system, but because this is not the Ministry of War/General Staff, but the Tuin Leli Palace, so Minister Wayan and Niel did not make a loud noise.
Even so, the smell of gunpowder between the two is still strong.
The door opened slowly, and Niel and Wayan quickly stood up from their chairs, and at the same time set their eyes on the door.
Jerome Bonaparte, who entered the room, looked at the Minister of War and the Chief of General Staff in the room, with a smile on his face again and teased: “What happened today? The Minister of War and the Chief of General Staff actually visited Tuinlely at the same time. Gong, shouldn’t I be honored!”
When Niel and Wayan heard the sarcasm in Jerome Bonaparte’s words, embarrassed expressions appeared on their faces at the same time.
Under the watchful eyes of Niel and Wayan, Jerome Bonaparte walked slowly in front of them, then brought a chair, sat on it and asked, “Tell me! You two Great God, what instructions do you have for coming to my small temple today!”
“Don’t dare!” Niel and Wayan responded to Jerome Bonaparte in unison?
“Don’t dare?” Jerome Bonaparte rebuked them with a sneer: “I see nothing in this world that you two dare not do!
Do you want me, the Duinleli Palace, to make room for the two of you to have a good quarrel, try to quarrel enough, and make it clear!
Not really, here! ”
Jerome Bonaparte pointed to the two faces hanging on the wall, “You two can also duel with swords! Whether you live or die is determined by your skills!
So you should be satisfied! ”
Both Niel and Wayan lowered their heads and dared not speak. They felt a deep dissatisfaction from Jerome Bonaparte’s words.
Just like that, after a while, Jerome Bonaparte asked Vaillant and Niel in a slightly tired tone: “Tell me! What are you two arguing about!”
Minister Wayan immediately revealed the whole content of his quarrel with Niel.
Jerome Bonaparte listened to Minister Wayan quietly, and then asked Minister Wayan: “Vayant, so you don’t agree with the reform plan jointly formulated by Chief Niel and me!”
“Yes! Your Majesty!” Minister Wayan insisted on the previous point of view, “The risk of the new tactical system is too great, and there is no need for us to take risks!”
“Isn’t it necessary?” Jerome Bonaparte asked Minister Wayan with a sneer, “Minister Wayan, I would like to ask what is necessary and what is not necessary!
It is necessary to blindly abide by the old system without reforming it! ”
“Your Majesty, our system has been tested by war…” Minister Wayan tried to use war as an example.
“It has been tested by war. Is fighting against those serf troops in the Russian Empire a test of war?” Jerome Bonaparte retorted bluntly, “Or is it a test of war to fight those stragglers in Algiers!
Such an army does not say that our existing tactical system can easily defeat them, and Britain, which has not changed its tactics for decades, can also defeat them.
Could it be said that Britain’s tactical system is on the same level as ours? ”
