Make France Great Again

General Lawrence and his 4,900 soldiers marched towards Marseille in batches with the transportation of railways, carrying their grievances.

The train drove non-stop for two days and one night, and finally arrived at the port of Marseille.

The British soldiers who got off the train were already hungry. During this long journey, they had not only eaten a meal at noon after boarding the train, but also had a lunch specially prepared for them by the train. , I basically didn’t eat anything at other times.

The soldiers who got off the train couldn't wait to go to the city of Marseille to buy some filling food after the troops were disbanded.

It is a pity that the British soldiers who had just stepped off the train were ordered by Lawrence to go to the Marseilles military port to take a boat before they could fully appreciate the exotic scenery.

The poor British soldiers had no choice but to starve and march towards the port of Marseille.

However, the only good thing is that the messenger responsible for conveying the order told the soldiers that after they boarded the ship, they could enjoy delicious food in the cabin.

Although the British soldiers all knew that the food on the troop carrier would not be delicious, it was better to have something to eat than nothing.

After about half an hour's journey, the British army finally arrived at the port of Marseille.

At this time, the port of Marseille was full of fleets flying the British flag. They were the British Fleet in the Mediterranean.

Subsequently, with the help of the French army and navy stationed at the port of Marseille in advance, the British troops boarded the ship in batches.

The whole process was over in less than a day. After all the British soldiers boarded the ship, the troop transport slowly started and soon disappeared in the port of Marseille.

After seeing the troop transport slowly leaving, the army and navy stationed in the port also returned to their respective locations to report the situation of the British army to their respective top commanders.

After the news of Britain's departure reached the hands of Trochu and Minister Dicko after being reported at all levels, Commander Trochu and Minister Dicko also reported the news to Jérôme Bonaparte in Paris via telegram.

When Jérôme Bonaparte received the telegrams from Trochu and Minister Dicko respectively, he called Ambassador Cowley over again: "Ambassador Cowley, your first troops have left France safely!

I don’t know when your next army will arrive! "

Ambassador Cowley responded to Jerome Bonaparte with a slightly flattering tone: "Your Majesty, the next batch of soldiers will arrive in France in a week!

Please be sure to inform the railway bureau so that they can prepare the next train as soon as possible! "

"I know!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded, and then asked Ambassador Cowley: "By the way, how many people will come in your next batch! I can also let them prepare the number corresponding to the number of people. train!"

"The next batch, about 4,500 people, will leave from London!" Ambassador Cowley responded to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"4,500 people! Almost the same number as this time!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded gently to the desk with his index finger.

"That's right!" Ambassador Cowley responded to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Okay! I will let the railway bureau leave a batch of trains for you. What happened last time will never happen again!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded firmly to Ambassador Cowley.

"Britain will always remember your kindness!" Ambassador Cowley bowed to Jerome Bonaparte and responded.

After Ambassador Cowley left, Jérôme Bonaparte ordered Basilio to go to the National Intelligence Service and ask Marcel Jerug if he had any news from India.

Basilio followed Jerome Bonaparte's order and left. Half an hour later, Basilio appeared in front of Jerome Bonaparte again, and there was a letter in his hand. .

"Your Majesty, this is what Marcel Jerug asked me to give to you!" Basilio handed the letter to Jerome Bonaparte.

Jérôme Bonaparte took the envelope and glanced at the front of the envelope. There was no word on the front of the envelope, and it looked like an ordinary envelope.

Jérôme Bonaparte slowly opened the envelope, took out the folded letter inside the envelope, and then opened the letter.

The content of the letter is exactly the current situation in India.

Of course, this "current" does not mean now in the real sense, but two weeks before the letter arrived in the hands of Jerome Bonaparte.

Although the most important thing about information is timeliness, considering the distance between India and France, the information from two weeks ago is already considered timely.

Even if Britain is the country involved, the time it will take for him to learn about India's information will probably be after Jérôme Bonaparte.

According to intelligence from India, the rebel forces in the Delhi area are attacking everywhere, trying to get more people to join their rebel army.

However, the Sikh princes in the Punjab region and the Governor-General of Calcutta in West Bengal were moving steadily towards the Delhi area from the left and right respectively. They planned to use the encirclement method to limit the activity space of the insurgents in the Delhi area to a certain range.

At the same time, the British Governor-General in India, Canning, "arbitrarily" completely abolished the "law of childless succession" formulated by the former governor-general Dahisu without formal authorization from Britain.

…

When Jérôme Bonaparte saw this, he put down the information and sighed.

After Canning abolished the Great Hexus succession law, the Delhi uprising was destined to fail.

Because the attitude of the Indian princes towards the British Kingdom will change in the next period of time.

It is very likely that the princes who originally resisted India would swear allegiance to Britain again before Britain arrived.

Since ancient times, the interests of the feudal lord may be close to the working people for a period of time, but he cannot always be close to the broad masses of the people.

Taking advantage of the uprising, stealing the fruits, and then betraying the uprising is what a qualified feudal lord should do.

Once the Indian princes did not support the uprising, then the power of the Indian revolting people alone would never be able to fight against Britain.

Without a formed organization, individuals can never compete with the whole.

Thinking of this, Jérôme Bonaparte couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart.

Although he was willing to support the Indian popular uprising in his heart, his butt was indeed sitting on the side of Britain.

Now he could only silently wish in his heart that the Indian rebels could repel the invading British army.

Although the Delhi Uprising and many subsequent uprisings (typical representative: Queen Zhangxi) could not overthrow the rule of the British Kingdom, they could at least make the invaders feel the pain, so that they would have concerns when oppressing India.

Of course, Jérôme Bonaparte had such an idea mainly based on the education he received in his previous life, and in addition, such a large-scale uprising did not occur in his own colony.

If this happened in a colony under the French Empire, Jérôme Bonaparte's empathy would disappear.

Next, killings without mercy will be carried out on any indigenous people who try to violate the will of France.

Jerome Bonaparte folded the letter and put it back in the envelope.

Then Basilio was called again. He pointed to the letter and said to Basilio: "Basilio, now send the letter back to the National Intelligence Agency!"

Basilio nodded, picked up the letter and left the study.

After Basilio left, Jerome Bonaparte got up and walked to the sofa, then sat down.

After a while, a knock on the door reached Jerome Bonaparte's ears.

"Come in!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded calmly.

The door opened slowly, and a secretary in a black suit entered the room, holding a stack of newspapers in his hand.

"Your Majesty!" the secretary straightened his body and said loudly, "I have prepared all the newspapers you want!"

"Thank you for your hard work!" Jérôme Bonaparte smiled and nodded, then knocked on the wooden coffee table and said to his secretary: "Put the things here!"

"Yes!" The secretary took the order and put the newspaper on the table, then turned around and closed the door and left.

Jerome Bonaparte glanced at the newspapers on the coffee table, then picked up a newspaper from the top and read it.

After flipping through it roughly, Jérôme Bonaparte put the newspaper aside, then took out another newspaper and continued to flip through it.

After flipping through several newspapers in succession, Jérôme Bonaparte picked up a newspaper from the United States of America.

"Strange, how come there is an American newspaper sandwiched here!" Jérôme Bonaparte muttered in a low voice.

He remembered telling the secretary's office that there was no need to deliver the newspaper to him if it had expired.

The publication date of this newspaper was two weeks ago, and its timeliness had long since disappeared without a trace during the journey across the ocean.

The best way to deal with this kind of newspaper is to throw it away directly.

Just when Jérôme Bonaparte was about to throw away the outdated newspaper, he subconsciously glanced at the newspaper and happened to see this outdated American newspaper. The front page headline was "The railroad of the United States has become the longest railway in the world." ".

Jerome Bonaparte unfolded the newspaper that was almost crumpled into a ball, and then turned to the front page

The first part of the newspaper said that the United States has built 33,000 kilometers of railways. The length of the railways has surpassed the French Empire and the British Kingdom, becoming the veritable first railway country.

The second part of the newspaper said that although the United States of America has a length of railways that is unmatched in Europe, the railways of the United States of America are not completed by themselves.

The owner of the front page then gave a set of figures for pig iron production in the United States of America.

He pointed out that while the United States' pig iron and steel production had stagnated, the railroads could still maintain rapid development and there was no other way than to buy British rails.

Immediately afterwards, the third part of the article criticized the United States of America's purchase of pig iron, steel rails, and cotton cloth from the British Kingdom, and called on the United States of America to increase domestic tariffs and cultivate outstanding domestic enterprises.
