Make France Great Again

"Oh? So the British Kingdom has finally made up its mind to declare war with the Russian Empire?"

On the morning of the third day after Britain declared war on the Russian Empire, Jérôme Bonaparte, who was inspecting a workshop in the Northern Industrial Park and preparing to admonish some upcoming unscrupulous capitalists, suddenly received a message from A request for alliance from the British government, represented by Lord Cowley, to the French government.

Although the roar in the workshop did not cover up Jérôme Bonaparte's voice, it made Lord Cowley, who never liked being in noisy environments, feel an inexplicable boredom, as if a steam hammer was constantly hammering. It struck the depths of his soul.

However, in order to fulfill his duties as the diplomatic ambassador, Lord Cowley could only suppress his physical discomfort, moved to a position less than 1 meter away from Jerome Bonaparte and responded loudly: "Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Britain has been Declare war with the Russian Empire before heaven!"

"Three days?" Jérôme Bonaparte glanced at Lord Cowley in surprise, and asked in a slightly sinister tone: "So it took you three days to consider whether to formally form an alliance. , when did the efficiency of the British cabinet become so inefficient?"

"This is based on democratic considerations!" Lord Cowley said awkwardly, and he also had some resentment towards the British cabinet.

Now that the British cabinet has decided to declare war on Russia, can we improve the efficiency of the British cabinet?

To be honest, when Lord Cowley, who was accustomed to the efficient administrative instructions of the French Empire, received the news from Britain, he could not stand the appalling administrative efficiency of the British Kingdom.

Every bill, even a trivial matter, must be approved at all levels by the cabinet and the two houses. Sometimes a small cabinet must be formed first, and then it must be submitted to the cabinet meeting. Only after the cabinet meeting agrees, the two houses can vote. , given to Queen Victoria.

This kind of back-and-forth pulling and pulling is simply the use of human selfishness to a certain extent. Every cabinet member, government official, and parliament is willing to be a non-stick pan. They rely on the semi-empty will of the people to pass the proposal. middle. After the proposal is passed, they will take credit for the proposal themselves.

If there is any mistake in the future, they will quickly put the mistake before public opinion to protect the government departments and themselves.

If they really cannot calm public opinion, they will also transfer all their faults to the privatized company to whitewash their integrity.

In such a climate, it is extremely difficult to cultivate a responsible and far-sighted elite politician.

"What a democracy!" Jérôme Bonaparte couldn't help but sigh. He spread his hands and talked loudly: "Democracy, democracy! Isn't that what I mean by making the decision for you? You Britons hang up democracy all day long. Speaking of words, how many people actually believe this? Everything you do is not legalizing all your secret activities in the name of "democracy". In my opinion, this kind of democracy is nothing more than A gangster democracy..."

After hearing Jerome Bonaparte's criticism of the Kingdom of Britain, Lord Cowley, who was standing aside, still had some agreement in his heart, but this shallow agreement was destined to be unable to overcome the arrogance revealed in the bones of the Ansa people.

If Jérôme Bonaparte were not the monarch of a country, Lord Cowley swore that he would throw his precious white gloves in his face.

Lord Cowley's annoyance worsened after Jerome Bonaparte discussed the topic of "democracy". Finally, after Jerome Bonaparte discussed the topic of "democracy" for nearly two minutes, Lord Cowley stood aside. He couldn't help shouting: "Your Majesty, shouldn't we discuss the formation of a joint force now?"

After hearing Lord Cowley's refutation, Jerome Bonaparte stopped his eloquent speech. He thought thoughtfully and used a dramatic accent that was only used when performing a drama. Lord Cowley said: "Combined forces!"

"That's right! I came here on the order of Prime Minister Palmerston, just to discuss with you the formation of a joint force to jointly punish the Russian Empire!" Lord Cowley did not like Jerome Bonaparte's store just now. , he said solemnly to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"This is simple!" Jerome Bonaparte clapped his hands gently and said in a slow tone: "The Kingdom of Britain and the French Empire only need to each use their own strengths and perform their duties."

"Do you mean that the British Kingdom is only responsible for the navy, and France is responsible for the army!" Lord Cowley asked Jerome Bonaparte.

"That's right!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded and further expanded on what Lord Cowley said: "Our two countries can form a joint command, and our fleet and transport ships in the Mediterranean can be transferred The naval commander of the Joint Command assigned by Britain is under unified command. Correspondingly, the Kingdom of Britain needs to hand over your army forces to the personnel assigned by us for unified command! This will ensure that our two countries can keep pace with each other. achieve coordination and unity!”

After listening to Jerome Bonaparte's words, Lord Cowley nodded empathetically. The navy is an area that Britain is good at, but the army is an area that Britain is not good at.

If the army is handed over to French command, it may have a different effect.

"I would like to ask how many troops your British Kingdom is planning to send to the Near East to ensure the security of the Ottoman Empire!" Jerome Bonaparte asked Lord Cowley with a smile on his lips.

"Britain plans to send about 100,000 troops to the Near East!" Lord Cowley revealed the number of British troops to Jerome Bonaparte, and then added: "However, our advance troops are only 20,000 about!"

Gu Jie/span "Who is the commander of this army?" Jérôme Bonaparte continued to ask curiously.

"Lord Raglan!" Lord Cowley immediately responded proudly to Jerome Bonaparte, and then explained the origin of Lord Raglan: "He once served as the aide-de-camp to the Duke of Wellington and participated in many battles. ! He is a general who is good at fighting!"

When Lord Cowley finished these words, he suddenly realized that Lord Raglan had participated in the Battle of Waterloo, and the man in front of him was a member of the family that lost the Battle of Waterloo.

Thinking of this, Lord Cowley's expression changed slightly, and then he glanced at Jerome Bonaparte with an uneasy expression.

At this time, after hearing the name of Lord Raglan, Jerome Bonaparte could not help but feel silent for Britain's upcoming fate.

In the Battle of Crimea on the OTL timeline, apart from their own poor logistics, the reason why the British army was so weak was partly related to Lord Raglan.

This rigid and almost dogmatic old general from the Napoleonic period did not learn the adaptability skills of his superior, the Duke of Wellington. A kind of helpless behavior, and he himself is a stereotyped general and politician), but he carried forward the stereotyped side.

Especially when wearing heavy military uniforms in the summer, they can compete with the Ottoman Empire for the position of Crimean Kitchen King.

Not to mention the reckless advance and direct use of light cavalry to attack the cannon, which was even more of a Don Quixote-like performance.

Of course, such a stereotyped general is exactly what Jérôme Bonaparte wants to see.

Although Britain and France are now temporarily sleepwalking, Jerome Bonaparte still hopes that Britain will shed more blood.

However, the appearance of Lord Raglan also heralded the failure of Jérôme Bonaparte's unreliable Anglo-French joint command.

A general who is extremely rigid and has experienced the Napoleonic Wars will naturally not hand over the army to a "speculator" (here refers to Marshal Saint-Arnault, who is "famous" on the London and Paris stock exchanges).

The resistance expected by Lord Cowley did not appear. Instead, Jérôme Bonaparte said to Lord Cowley in a positive and cooperative manner: "That's great! With this respected elder, we will definitely Achieve brilliant results!"

Later, Jerome Bonaparte pretended to be disappointed and sighed: "I wonder if I will be lucky enough to meet this general who fought with the Duke of Wellington! The previous era is gradually far away from us. went!"

"Your Majesty, yes!" Lord Cowley immediately responded to Jerome Bonaparte: "Lord Raglan will take a ship to the port of Calais, pass through France, and then take a ship in Marseille to the Near East! When When he passes through Paris, he will naturally pay you a visit!"

"Great!" Jerome Bonaparte showed a fake smile: "I can't wait to meet General Raglan!"

"Your Majesty, your wish will come true soon!" Lord Cowley assured Jérôme Bonaparte.

Later, Jérôme Bonaparte and Lord Cowley walked out of the workshop and came to the wilderness 2 kilometers away from the workshop. Looking for the book garden www.zhaoshuyuan.com The sonorous sound of the steam hammer striking the iron disappeared, and in the distance was There are rows of cottages and fields connected to each other.

Looking at the pastoral scenery in front of him, Jerome Bonaparte couldn't help but feel relaxed and happy.

Under such a scene, the two began to discuss preliminary cooperation between Britain and France (subsequent in-depth cooperation would have to wait for the arrival of the mission). During this period, Jérôme Bonaparte politely asked whether the British army needed French logistical assistance. At that time, he was rejected by Lord Cowley, who knew nothing about logistics in the Near East.

The two discussed together for nearly half an hour, and Lord Cowley left the industrial park.

Looking at Lord Cowley's leaving back, Jerome Bonaparte couldn't help but reveal a gloating smile, and then returned to the workshop of Norinco.

The admonishment of capitalists is about to begin again!
