Make France Great Again

"By Allah! What is that!"

As a heavily armed "steel behemoth" slowly sailed into the naval port of Constantinople, the Ottoman residents who observed the situation in the military port in the distance through the windows let out an exclamation. They had never seen this ship before. The brand new warship, the steel shell exudes a metallic luster under the sunlight, looks like a very aggressive tiger from a distance, and compared with it, the wooden battleship parked in the military port looks like They are docile sheep that may be killed by tigers at any time.

Of course, it was not just the residents near the military port who were surprised. Abdul Sultan, Navy Marshal Mahmoud, Prime Minister Mustafa Reshid, and many other people who came to the military port to welcome the French Emperor were standing near the port pier. Rome Bonaparte's senior officials and soldiers of the Ottoman Empire also showed expressions of surprise and even fear.

"Generalissimo Mahmoud, what is this monster?" Abdul Sultan asked Generalissimo Mahmoud next to him in a trembling tone with a hint of excitement.

As the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, he "fell in love" with the ironclad ship at the first sight. Steel and guns are the things that all military enthusiasts (crossed out) like.

When the two are combined, the resulting "chemical reaction" is not one plus one greater than two.

Especially now that the Ottoman Empire happens to be in a state of having no ships available.

"Your Majesty, I'm not sure either!" Marshal Mahmoud also looked at the armored ship in front of him with confusion. He didn't understand why this lump of iron could float on the sea. Could it be because of the steam engine.

At the moment, Marshal Mahmoud was unable to answer, and Abdul had no choice but to turn his attention to Ambassador Walewski and others on the other side.

Abdul ignored the strange looks of others and came to Walewski, and asked Walewski with a serious expression: "Ambassador Walewski, what kind of ship is this ship? "

Walewski was stunned for a few seconds, and then replied to Abdul Sultan: "Your Majesty the Sultan, this is a ship made of iron, and its defense capability is hundreds of times stronger than a wooden ship. !”

"A ship made of iron?" Abdul Sultan asked excitedly: "I wonder if the French Empire is willing to sell it..."

Walewski shook his head and responded to Abdul Sultan: "Sorry! Your Majesty, this ship is our latest developed ship, so it cannot be sold in a short time!"

"Can I make a reservation in advance!" Abdul Sultan said unable to restrain his inner love.

"This..." Walewski hesitated for a moment. He understood that the order in front of him was given to him for free. In order not to lose the order, he decided to agree to Abdul first and said: "I need to report this question. Admiralty! If they agree..."

"Can't your emperor decide this matter?" Abdul Sultan asked doubtfully.

"Of course!" Walewski replied decisively, "His Majesty Emperor Jérôme is the most supreme being in the entire French Empire! No one dares to disobey him!"

"Then it should be fine if I ask him!" Abdul-Sultan responded to Valewski.

"If your Majesty promises you, then it will definitely succeed!" Walewski replied to Abdul Sultan.

Abdul nodded and returned to his original position.

Under the watchful eyes of Abdul Sultan and others, the ironclad ship slowly docked and stopped.

When the ironclad ship was completely docked at the Constantinople military port, a wooden ladder was slowly lowered from the ironclad ship.

Under the salty sea breeze, the figures of Jerome Bonaparte and Richard Metternich appeared.

"Raise the flag! Play the music!" Abdul Sultan ordered the attendants beside him.

The page trotted up to the court band and shouted in Greek like the court band: "Play music!"

After receiving the order, the palace band immediately began to play "Marseillaise" that Jerome Bonaparte liked.

At the same time, a red, white and blue eagle flag symbolizing the French Empire and a crescent flag symbolizing the Ottoman Empire were raised high by flag bearers.

At this time, Jérôme Bonaparte, who was now on the wooden steps, stared at the crescent flag and eagle flag raised high in the distance, and listened to the "Marseillaise" coming from the distance. He couldn't help but shake his head. He said to Richard Metternich beside him: "I guess it must be Valewski who told them the news of my arrival in Constantinople! It's fine now, tomorrow... no, I should say all of Europe right away You will know that I am in Constantinople!"

"This is Mr. Walewski's duty!" Richard Metternich replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

"That's right!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded, and then slowly walked down the stairs.

Richard Metternich also walked down with Jerome Bonaparte, and behind Richard Metternich there were also a group of sailors carrying rifles following him.

When Jerome Bonaparte reached the last step, the magnificent Marseillaise ended.

It was replaced by the "Abdulmecid March", the national anthem established by the Ottoman Empire in 1844. The melody of the entire song is closer to the oriental classical tones, long and soft.

"My friend, welcome to Constantinople!" Abdulmecid came to Jerome Bonaparte and shook hands with Jerome Bonaparte warmly.

"I am honored to come to visit Constantinople!" Jérôme Bonaparte had a smile on his face and replied to the Xinjiang kebab uncle in front of him. Abdul Mejid replied: "I hope my sudden visit will not cause difficulties for you and your subjects!"

"How is it possible! My friend!" Abdel Meguid responded to Jerome Bonaparte with a more standard Parisian accent than Jerome Bonaparte: "You are the first European monarchs who visit us... We warmly welcome every European monarch to visit us! It's just that they don't want you to visit us like this!"

Abdel Meguid, who had long been ostracized by mainstream European countries, responded excitedly to Jérôme Bonaparte. In his eyes, Jérôme Bonaparte's visit to the Ottoman Empire was representative of As mainstream European society is gradually accepting the symbols of the Ottoman Empire.

"It was their mistake to not come to visit!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded to Abdulmecid: "I can clearly feel the presence of Rome here (Jingluo was furious) ! You possess the wisdom of Eastern civilization (referring to the Civil War Fantasy God), and you are also about to learn the skills of our Western civilization (referring to making rather than buying). I believe that sooner or later, you and your empire will be able to stand up again!"

Jérôme Bonaparte's praise made Abdul Meguid elated, and his own favorable impression of Jérôme Bonaparte also increased with Jérôme Bonaparte's praise.

"My friend, you are the first monarch to praise us!" Abdulmecid said to Jerome Bonaparte excitedly: "For a long time before you, we suffered There are too many misunderstandings! Many people think that we are barbaric, but in fact we are not barbaric! We are also human beings, just like you! We also want to progress..."

Abdul Meguid became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he wanted to tear the whole world apart.

"My friend, you don't need to be like this!" Jerome Bonaparte immediately comforted him. "When I first became the Emperor of the French Empire, the slander I received was not much different from that of you and your empire! They called me Tyrant, I think that my empire exists to destroy Europe! But in fact, my empire and I are fighting with you to protect the peace and order of Europe! Without us and the Kingdom of Britain, the entire Europe would probably fall into Dark Ages Surrounded by Slavs!

By that time, everything will no longer be free! "

"Yes! We are defending the entire Europe!" Abdul Meguid also turned himself into a member of Europe.

Although the Ottoman Empire's territory in Asia and the Middle East is much larger than its territory in Europe, this does not prevent him from thinking that the Ottoman Empire is a "pure" European country.

They are much better than Egypt, Tunisia and the like!

"It is normal for the Ottoman Empire to be misunderstood! After all, many people did not come to this country at all. They can only obtain information about the Ottoman Empire through books, and many of the authors of those so-called books did not live here at all! Readers believe it If they don't follow the rules, they will be disgusted with the Ottoman Empire!" Jérôme Bonaparte put on a posture that "no one knows Europe better than me": "I am a practical person and do not believe in those so-called What the fake scholar said, so I am willing to learn about the Ottoman Empire firsthand!”

"My friend! I am really touched that you can come to the Ottoman Empire and find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com!" Abdulmecid vowed to Jérôme Bonaparte: "Please I believe that the enthusiasm of the subjects of the Ottoman Empire will not be inferior to that of the French Empire!"

Later, Abdel Meguid introduced General Mahmoud and Prime Minister Reshid to Jérôme Bonaparte. Jérôme Bonaparte asked Rifat Pasha where he was now and why. Didn't see him here.

Prime Minister Reshid responded awkwardly to Jérôme Bonaparte that Rifat Pasha was currently idle at home and did not come to attend the welcome ceremony.

"That's such a pity!" Jérôme Bonaparte pretended to sigh and said with emotion: "Rifat is really a rare talent!"

"Yes! Yes!" Prime Minister Reshid responded with a bow and a nod.
