Fox of France

The delegation of the French Academy of Sciences with Joseph as the core received a warm welcome in various Italian universities, especially Joseph's lectures, every session was full. In this era, scientists seem to have the same traffic as entertainment stars. As long as you are a human being, you will always have some vanity, even Joseph is not exempt, although he keeps telling himself in his mind, "Don't love vanity", "You are actually the one who was killed by Napoleon and the Paris Ecole Normale Supérieure." What's there to be proud of when you gang up on the bad guys", but the surrounding and praise of the crowd is still "really sweet", especially when you are in the limelight, the little girl slapped her hands and shouted "Dad is so amazing" time, even more so.

In addition, through his own means, Joseph also obtained Napoleon's paper that was rated as having the characteristics of "extreme importance" and "extremely popular".

Joseph read it carefully several times, and he was sure that it must have been ghostwritten by those guys from the Paris Ecole Normale Supérieure. The structure is rigorous, the argument is rigorous and sufficient, and almost no loopholes can be found. Of course, it is not necessary to say that there is no problem at all. For example, some derivations are a bit too cumbersome, so they appear cumbersome and lack aesthetic feeling, but this is not a mistake after all. Overall, the paper does deserve those two adjectives.

Leaving aside the fact that Joseph took 13 packs for public travel in Italy, since Napoleon has become a member of the Academy of Sciences, he is naturally ready to fulfill his promise. In other words, he wanted to choose a queen for himself among the relatives of the group of people in the Paris Normal University.

However, Napoleon immediately found out: "Laplace's niece is ugly, Monge's granddaughter is not good-looking, Lagrange's grandniece is okay, but unfortunately her waist is too thick, and she has caught up with her sister-in-law... Still there is no one Comparable to..."

However, Napoleon is generally a very trustworthy person, and he is now choosing the queen instead of the mistress, as long as the demeanor is dignified. Besides, isn't the waist not thin enough? Strictly speaking, this is the legacy of Rome. Look at the goddesses in the sculptures left over from the Roman era, who meets the current standard of thin waist? And as the emperor of Rome, how could he not appreciate Roman women, but influenced by the barbarians, he likes thin-waisted bees?

After thinking about it this way, Napoleon discovered that Lagrange's grandniece is actually quite cute. Although she is not as good as one of his mistresses in terms of appearance and demeanor, she can be regarded as above average, at least not like Laplace's niece. In addition, the little girl respected and loved Napoleon very much, which also made Napoleon feel good, so Napoleon began to date this girl named Laura frequently.

Joseph continued to travel in Italy, and when he came to Naples, the last stop of the trip, new news came that the French army had won a decisive victory in Morocco and captured the port of Dal Beda. (There is an error in the previous article. At this time, the city does not have an alias of Casablanca)

The capture of Dar Beda also meant that the war was basically over. France suffered very limited losses in this war, especially with few deaths. The main ones who died in the war were the enemies. Apart from the enemies, the Turks were the main ones who died on their own side. As for the French, not many died.

But this is not the French pit teammates, at least, the Turks can not say such a thing. For example, at the beginning of the offensive, the Turks discovered that Morocco was much more prepared for anti-landing than the previous two places, and they learned from the experience and lessons of the first two places to comprehensively upgrade the defense of the port. .

Obstacles and mines have been set up in the port and in the nearby sea areas that are convenient for landing. If the French hadn't invested in the nearest minesweeper, these mines alone would have caused the combined fleet to pay huge losses, and most of these losses were paid by the Turks.

The French minesweeper is actually quite simple. This is a flat boat. At sea, flat-bottomed boats are not very resistant to wind and waves, but relatively speaking, the draft is much shallower, which makes this kind of boat less prone to hitting mines, especially when the tide is high.

This kind of ship also carries a special device-a relatively primitive magnetic anomaly detector. When there are metal objects in the water, and these metal objects are within a certain distance, this thing can issue a warning.

Then there is the mine-sweeping machinery of this kind of ship. This kind of boat can put down a thing similar to the trawling net of later generations. It's just that what the two cables are pulling is not a net, but a large blade similar to a sickle.

The thing tows along the depths close to the bottom of the sea, and if there is an anchor mine below, the scythe will cut the cable under the anchor mine, and the anchor mine will surface. And once the anchor mine surfaced, it was easy to deal with it.

Of course, even after several rounds of repeated sweeps like this, there is no guarantee that there will be no fish that slip through the net. For example, in this attack, several Turkish warships were still struck by mines and sank. But considering the more mines swept out by the French, the Turks also understand that without the support of their French allies, their losses would be many times greater.

In the attack after the landing near the port, it was the French marines who helped the Turks open a safe passage in the minefield, and blocked the enemy when the Turkish offensive was defeated and the enemy took the opportunity to counterattack. counterattack, and caused huge damage to the enemy.

And finally the artillery of the French Navy. Expensive high-explosive bombs were used to destroy a crucial bastion on a hill near Darbel, giving the offensive a breakthrough. After that, the French used the temporary port to send some cannons ashore, transported them into the fort, and then bombarded the city continuously. Only then did the defenses in the city break down and played a decisive role in the final occupation of the city by the Turks.

Relying on these solid achievements, the Turks naturally cannot say that the French are dead friends but not poor. Even more interests must be transferred to the French in accordance with the newly signed terms. After Barbary gained these footholds, although France's control over the Mediterranean was not comparable to that of the Roman Empire in its heyday, it was already much stronger than Athens or Carthage in its heyday.

Such a major victory was so easily achieved, and so many Christians were liberated, that the Holy See even planned to canonize Napoleon. But a sudden incident interrupted the process.

After the news that the joint fleet captured Morocco came, the old pope, Pius VI, was called by the Lord. In his interim, he is said to have said, "Well now, I don't have to worry about really having a God."
