Fox of France

"During this week's operation, the French Navy captured three pirate ships and sank two pirate ships that tried to resist, which significantly improved the safety of the Mediterranean waterway. This newspaper interviewed Admiral Treville, Treville Admiral Vere said that the French Navy is the most advanced and powerful navy in the world, and it is fully capable of escorting the peace and tranquility of the Olympic Games. He told us that it is the sacred mission of the French Navy to ensure free trade. The practice of free trade is a provocation to the dignity and interests of France. Is it tolerable or unbearable? He warned those forces that indulge in piracy not to think that France's patience is unlimited. Those who dare to violate the dignity of France will not Bedbugs who are ashamed of mankind, no matter where they escape, even if they escape to the Antarctic continent to pretend to be penguins, we can catch him back and let him hang on the mast in penguin skin."

Two years ago, when a cruiser of the French Navy carried some naturalists from the University of Paris on a round-the-world voyage, they discovered the Antarctic continent and found a huge giant there, which can stand up to 1.2 meters to 1.3 meters. penguins. And named this penguin Augustus penguin.

The toy factory owned by Polina immediately launched a series of penguin toys based on this discovery. The largest of them can even allow a person to hide in them. So Admiral Treville will have such a statement.

It is said that Paulina was very inspired by this statement, so she specially created a comic strip called Pirate Penguin. Forcibly bent the original cute and cute penguin image.

Driven by France, the Spanish Navy also joined the ranks of maintaining free trade. Compared with the French navy, the Spanish navy is far behind an era. Their navy is still powered by sails, and it is completely understandably powerful for Barbary pirates. Their approach was more radical than that of the French. They did not cruise the sea to search for possible pirate ships, but stayed directly outside the artillery range of the ports of several Barbary pirate countries to monitor these ports. And directly intercept and board any ship trying to enter or leave the port.

This kind of practice made those pashas feel intolerable. They protested to the Spanish consulate and the French consulate, but the response they got was that both the French consulate and the Spanish consulate said that this was a violation of the Barbary pirates' treachery during this period of time. The counterattack of piracy, if they cannot return the hijacked ships and sailors as soon as possible, such a blockade will continue.

And as part of further pressure, both the Spanish and French consulates in the Barbary countries have begun reducing staff. This approach, in many cases, can be understood as preparing for a possible future war.

So after bribing the personnel of the French and Spanish consulates, they got the news: "France will have a very important move in the Olympic Games, and the First Consul will take advantage of this Games to go further. In this process, France must Keep the peace and harmony around you."

Several pashas also had an in-depth discussion with each other on the current situation, and decided to form an alliance to protect themselves. But they also decided to grit their teeth and live a hard life. In the recent period, they will not go out to rob again. They feel that the French are old friends after all, and as long as they don't lose face to the French, the French should still be reasonable.

The Olympic torch relay has already begun. Turkey is quite unwilling to carry out this kind of pagan activity, so the transfer in Turkey is quite simple, and the torch is passed north to Russia. The trip in Turkey is basically a boat and then across the Aegean Sea The Dardanelles and the Bosphorus, into the Black Sea, then continue north, and then continue north along the Dnieper River until it enters Russia.

During this process, the torch is actually kept in a tinder box, and the so-called "kinder box" is actually just a delicately made lantern.

On entering Russian territory, the French who escorted the torch received a warm welcome from the Russians. General Bagration himself came to welcome him with a battalion of cavalry wearing black bearskin hats. When the French ran down from the ship holding torches, the cavalry led by General Bagration drew out their sabers and cheered together: "Hurrah!" The Turks on the ship almost took out their guns to prepare to resist. up.

But those savage Russians didn't rush up to kill people as usual, they just cheered around the torch.

The Turks didn't quite understand why the Russians were so happy. Unlike Turkey's attitude, first of all, the Russians have always had a sense of admiration and crisis for Europe.

Since the reformation of Peter the Great, learning from the West has become the basic direction of the Russians. Facing the brilliant culture and science of Europe after the Renaissance, the Russians are very unconfident. expulsion from the ranks of civilized men".

Originally in the era of Her Majesty Empress Catherine, the Russians once felt that they seemed to have got rid of this anxiety, and even almost had the illusion that they were going to lead the world. However, with the rise of France, the glory of Russia has become dim. After a large number of Russian students came to France, they felt painfully the gap between Russia and the advanced level. What's more terrible is that this gap is not only large, but also widening day by day. In the words of a foreign student: "Every day of the French can be regarded as a month or even a year of Russia."

Under such circumstances, the anxiety of whether we will be expelled from the ranks of civilized people is all the more serious. In this case, the French wanted to revive the great Greek and Roman civilizations. In the process, they did not forget Russia, and sent the torch to Russia to pass it on. In the eyes of the Russians, this is the recognition and praise of Russian civilization.

After most of the Russian nobles got the news, the first thought that came to their heads was: "We are still an indispensable member of the civilization plate."

In such an atmosphere, and Russia has always regarded itself as the successor of Eastern Rome, and the Olympic tradition is also coming from the former home of Eastern Rome. In the eyes of the Russians, the transmission of the torch symbolizes the transmission of the fire of civilization that originated in Greece throughout the world. And the torch has a separate way from Russia to other regions, which is simply a silent affirmation of Russia's legal system. So it's no surprise that the Olympic flame has received such a warm reception in Russia. But if Napoleon knew what they were thinking, he would probably say to them: "You think too much."

General Bagration got up himself, took the torch he had prepared, lit it on the tinder, and slowly raised the torch aloft. The surrounding soldiers shouted "Ulla" again.

General Bagration listened with satisfaction to the cheers of the soldiers. At this time, the French also handed the tinder box in their hands to the Russians who came to welcome the tinder. Together with the Turks, they will return to France by boat-from here it will be safer and faster to return to France by water than by land.
