Make France Great Again

Prince Albert was not persuaded by Jerome Bonaparte's sophistry in the end, but he did not want to get entangled in the issue of the Kingdom of Sardinia.

After all, the French Empire has completely occupied Savoy and Nice, and it is basically impossible to get them to spit them out again.

"I don't want to discuss too much about the issues of Jerome, Savoy and Nice!" Prince Albert replied to Jerome Bonaparte with a serious expression, "However, I hope that in the next navy On the issue, the French Empire can communicate with the British Kingdom upholding the principle of integrity!

Otherwise, I really don’t know how to convince the British Kingdom to continue to believe in you! "

"Don't worry!" Jérôme Bonaparte hurriedly assured Prince Albert, "I invite you here this time just to maintain peace in the Mediterranean!"

"That's good!" Prince Albert nodded.

Immediately, Prince Albert made a request to Jerome Bonaparte to visit the French Imperial Fleet!

Facing Prince Albert's request, Jérôme Bonaparte showed a slight hesitation on his face. After a while, he responded to Prince Albert, "Let's do this! After a while, we will be together. Visit Marseille!”

"Okay!" Prince Albert replied to Jérôme Bonaparte eagerly.

…

In the next few days, Jérôme Bonaparte and his wife accompanied Albert and his wife on a tour of Paris and its surrounding areas.

The French Admiral Dicko and the British Admiralty have been arguing over the number of British and French fleets in the Mediterranean.

Dicko believes that the number of French fleets deployed in the Mediterranean should be 90% of the British Mediterranean fleet. The reason he gave is that as a world power whose comprehensive national strength is comparable to that of Britain, the French Empire has a smaller number of fleets deployed in the Mediterranean. should be balanced with the status of the French Empire,

However, the British Admiralty believes that the number of French fleets deployed in the Mediterranean should be limited to 60% of the British Kingdom. Only in this way can the Mediterranean truly achieve peace and stability.

After the two sides continued to argue for several days, they learned that Jérôme Bonaparte and his wife and Prince Albert returned to the provinces.

Jérôme Bonaparte and Prince Albert also joined the debate between the British and French Admirals.

"Jerome, I think the French Empire's deployment of troops in the Mediterranean should be slightly reduced!" Prince Albert said to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Albert, how much do you think our navy deployed in the Mediterranean fleet should be compared to yours!" Jerome Bonaparte asked Prince Albert.

After Prince Albert pondered for a moment, he replied to Jerome Bonaparte, "About 65%! I think this data is enough for the French Empire to maintain peace in the Mediterranean without weakening its influence!"

After listening to Prince Albert's words, Jerome Bonaparte also showed a thoughtful expression on his face. After a long time, Jerome Bonaparte opened his mouth to Prince Albert and said, "How about 75 %! I think the French Empire only has 75% of the Mediterranean fleet of the British Kingdom, so that it can truly maintain its hegemony in the Mediterranean without weakening its influence!"

Albert was silent again. After a moment, he looked at the Navy Minister beside him, "What do you think?"

"Your Majesty!" The British Admiralty raised his head and said firmly to Jerome Bonaparte, "The French Empire's Mediterranean fleet is only allowed to be 70% of the British Kingdom's!

If the French Empire is unwilling, then there is no need to continue this peace negotiation! "

After listening to the decisive plan of the British Admiralty Minister, Jerome Bonaparte turned his attention to Prince Albert. Prince Albert also nodded and replied to Jerome Bonaparte, "His attitude is My attitude!”

Jérôme Bonaparte was silent again, then gritted his teeth and said to Prince Albert, "Okay! 70% makes 70%!"

However, I am not prepared to destroy the extra fleets. "

Then, Jérôme Bonaparte told Prince Albert that he would distribute the excess ships to the Far East or sell them directly to other countries, hoping that the Kingdom of Britain would not stop them.

Prince Albert magnanimously stated that he would not stop Jérôme Bonaparte from this action, as long as Jérôme Bonaparte did not move out of the ship to change the territory, Jerome Bonaparte would be fine. They also agreed to Prince Albert's request.

Seeing that Emperor Jerome Bonaparte had promised to reduce the number of fleets, Minister Dick's tears could not help but roll in his eyes.

For him, every ship is his painstaking effort. Now it only takes a simple negotiation to remove them all from the order of battle. It is really heartbreaking. .

After Prince Albert and the British Lord of the Admiralty left, Minister Dicko asked Jérôme Bonaparte with a hint of sadness, "Your Majesty, are you really prepared to hand over the hegemony of the Mediterranean to them?"

Jérôme Bonaparte lowered his head and remained silent. After a long period of time, Jérôme Bonaparte spoke to Minister Dicko again, "Dico, the secret of the so-called Mediterranean hegemony and maritime hegemony" Inseparable!

If the French Empire cannot obtain maritime hegemony, then there will be no hegemony in the Mediterranean!

So what if we suppress Britain in the Mediterranean? The British Kingdom can completely deploy all their fleets deployed in other areas to the Mediterranean!

This will crush our weak Mediterranean hegemony in one fell swoop. The Mediterranean hegemony is nothing but a dream! "

"If there is no French escort, what will happen to Egypt and the Suins Canal!" Minister Dicko responded to Jérôme Bonaparte. "Once the Su Yinshi Canal is opened, we may not be able to defend this place at all!"

Jérôme Bonaparte sighed and replied to Minister Dick, "Actually, I didn't expect Egypt and the Suins Canal to become France's possessions!

These two things will be occupied by Britain sooner or later. "

"Then why did you do it in the first place..." Minister Dick asked Jérôme Bonaparte doubtfully.

"It is precisely because Egypt and the Suins Canal are things that the British Kingdom must obtain, so I want to get them!

The purpose is to allow them to make concessions to France in other aspects in exchange for our concessions in Egypt! "Jerome Bonaparte explained to Minister Dicko.

Minister Dico nodded in understanding, and then could only leave with a heavy sigh.

…

Britain and France maintained a fleet ratio of 1 to 0.7 in the Mediterranean. With the joint efforts of Jérôme Bonaparte and Prince Albert, the agreement was quickly signed.

Because this news was simply a great shame for the people of Paris who had just accepted the annexation of Savoy and Nice.

Therefore, Jérôme Bonaparte did not bring this issue to the table, and at the same time restricted major newspapers in France from writing articles comparing the numbers of the British and French fleets.

However, even if Jerome Bonaparte had strictly guarded against such issues, he could guard against domestic articles, but he could not guard against foreign articles.

Under the covert promotion of the British cabinet, the whole of Britain already knew that the French Empire had compromised with the British Kingdom on the issue of Mediterranean hegemony.

The gentlemen of Britain had a look of pride on their faces, so they immediately began subscribing to such newspapers.

Soon, this group of British people discovered a "treasure". They discovered that a man signed by Marx was insulting Jerome Bonaparte in a British newspaper.

As a result, some British people became interested in Dr. Ma.

After investigation, they found that Dr. Ma had been reviling Jérôme Bonaparte for several years.

In order to "recognize" Dr. Ma's contribution, they all subscribed to the newspaper that Dr. Ma often criticized Jerome Bonaparte.

Therefore, Dr. Ma's name began to spread to France. A small number of newspapers escaped customs inspection, and then the articles were copied and printed again.

The whole of Paris was secretly filled with articles that were unfavorable to Jerome Bonaparte. Jerome Bonaparte had no choice but to send his police officers to raid some "black workshops". Finally, before the situation spread completely out of control, , kill it.

However, the news of Jerome Bonaparte's surrender to Britain still spread.

At this moment, the parties involved, Jerome Bonaparte and Prince Albert, were in Marseille. After arriving in Marseille, the two parties rested overnight, and then took the train from Marseille to Toulon the next morning.

The two people who got off the train at Toulon went to Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com and immediately met with the Commander of the Mediterranean Fleet. Under the leadership of the Commander of the Mediterranean Fleet, Jerome Bonaparte and Albert arrived in a carriage. Arrive at the military port of Toulon,

Prince Albert, who got off the bus from the Toulon military port, looked at the "behemoths" docked at the military port pier with a shocked face, and then said to Jerome Bonaparte, "These..."

"The one you are pointing to is the warship that France just developed some time ago!" Jérôme Bonaparte introduced to Prince Albert, then changed the subject and continued to him, "Albert, I remember your British The kingdom’s second ironclad ship is also coming out!

No need to be so surprised! "

Prince Albert was silent for a moment and replied to Jérôme Bonaparte, "Our port is not as spectacular as the naval port of Toulon!"

"Would you like me to sell you a few ships?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked Prince Albert half-jokingly.

"No need!" Albert shook his head and refused, and then said proudly, "We will definitely be able to build a more powerful battleship!"
