Make France Great Again

Chapter 940: The Rise of McMahon

In this battle alone, McMahon basically wiped out most of the military forces in the west of the entire Kingdom of Morocco.

Subsequently, under the order of McMahon, less than 600 cavalry troops rushed all the way, and soon occupied Taza and Fez, which had a population of nearly 10,000.

Today's French army is less than 200 kilometers away from Rabat, which can be said to be very close.

After reading the battle report, the adjutant said excitedly to Niel, "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, we should report this good news to His Majesty the Emperor as soon as possible!"

"En! I think so too!" Chief of the General Staff Niel nodded, and he was going to report the news to the emperor immediately at Duin Leli Palace.

At this moment, the door of the combat conference room opened.

Niel and his adjutant looked intently, and it was not Emperor Jerome Bonaparte who entered the combat conference room.

"Your Majesty!" Chief of General Staff Niel and his adjutant hurriedly bowed to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Nière, I heard that a telegram from Algeria has been sent! Is this true!" Jerome Bonaparte asked impatiently.

"That's right! Your Majesty!" Niel walked up to Jerome Bonaparte and handed him the telegram.

Jerome Bonaparte took the telegram, read it carefully, raised his head and said to Niel, "Is there a map?"

"Yes!" Niel quickly responded, and then led Jerome Bonaparte to the map: "Your Majesty, this is the map of the Kingdom of Morocco!"

Jerome Bonaparte compared the place names in the telegram, and gestured on the map with his hands.

"McMahon's speed is really too fast!" Jerome Bonaparte showed a surprised expression on his face, and tapped his hand a few times, "At this speed, we can definitely end the battle by the end of this month !"

"Your Majesty, the follow-up battle may be a bit troublesome!" Niel responded leniently to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Why is this?" Jerome Bonaparte said to Niel: "There should only be a team of 10,000 people near Rabat and more than 5,000 people in the north of the entire Kingdom of Morocco now!

And we only need to face the 10,000 people near Rabat next, and the 5,000 people in the north will be handed over to the Kingdom of Spain! "

"Your Majesty! Even if we defeat the regular troops of the Kingdom of Morocco, after the regular troops are defeated, we still need to face countless guerrilla troops on the land of Morocco!

Just like when we were in Algeria!

Although these guerrilla troops are far inferior to the regular army in terms of equipment, they are definitely more difficult to deal with than the regular army!

We are still a long way from completely pacifying Morocco! "

"You're right!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded and said, "Defeating the Kingdom of Morocco is only our first step, and every next step is more important than the first step!"

Immediately afterwards, Jérôme Bonaparte asked Niel what he thought of the future political system of the Kingdom of Morocco, whether Abdul Rahman should be deposed and the Kingdom of Morocco should be completely annexed, or should the Kingdom of Morocco be declared a French Empire protectorate.

Nière reminded Jérôme Bonaparte that he, the chief of the general staff, was only in charge of fighting. His Majesty the Emperor should consult with the Minister of State and the Minister of War on such political issues!

"Forget it! I won't give you any problems!" Jerome Bonaparte replied to Niel. He was very satisfied with Niel's attitude just now.

The main role of the chief of staff should be to defeat the enemy, and it is best not to get involved in matters related to politics.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Nière thanked Jerome Bonaparte.

"However, I will take this telegram!" Jerome Bonaparte shook the telegram and said to Niel.

"Yes!" Niel responded briefly.

Jerome Bonaparte, who had found the answer at the General Staff, told Nière that he was going back.

Niel and his adjutant hurried forward, intending to send the emperor to the gate of the General Staff Headquarters.

"There is no need to see you off!" Jerome Bonaparte raised his hand to reject the farewell from Niel and the others, and then continued: "By the way, your General Staff will reward McMahon!

It is because of his decisiveness that our army can reach Fes so quickly! "

"Your Majesty, please rest assured! The General Staff will definitely reward him after verifying his military exploits!" Nière replied with a firm expression.

"En!" Jerome Bonaparte turned around and left the General Staff in a carriage as Nière and his adjutant saw him off.

When Jerome Bonaparte returned to the Duinleury Palace, he quickly found Lucien Murat.

"Lucien, tomorrow's news will put this on the front page!" Jerome Bonaparte handed Lucien Murat a telegram.

Lucien Murat also had a look of surprise on his face after seeing the telegram.

Unexpectedly, when Jerome Bonaparte came back this time, he brought back such important news.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured! I assure you, you will see it on the front page of tomorrow's newspaper!" Lucien Murat nodded and responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

"That's right!" Jerome Bonaparte suddenly thought of something, and he hurriedly said to Lucien Murat: "It is best not to have McMahon's use of the Chasebol machine gun and the Mauser breech-loading gun. In the report!

We must keep our military a little secret! "

"Understood!" Lucien Murat said.

"Okay! That's all! You can leave first!" Jerome Bonaparte waved his hand and said to Lucien Murat.

After Lucien Murat left, Jerome Bonaparte started his work again.

At 10 o'clock that night, Jerome Bonaparte, who returned to the bedroom from the study, remembered McMahon's "excellent" history, and he hurriedly asked Augusta next to him: "Augusta, your wife Can the circle add another person!"

"Tell me! Your Majesty, who do you want to put in my place!" Queen Augusta said to Jerome Bonaparte angrily.

"Daughter of the Duke of Castries, Elisabeth Delacroix!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Queen Augusta.

Queen Augusta thought for a moment, and replied to Jerome Bonaparte: "I remember that the Duke of Castries' family all serve that guy Chambord, why would you want to win them over!"

"En!" Jerome Bonaparte sighed softly, and said to Queen Augusta, "Who will let their family come out with a son-in-law who can fight!"

Immediately afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte told Augusta about McMahon's feat in the Kingdom of Morocco.

After listening to Queen Augusta, she also nodded.. nodded and said: "En! It is really necessary to win over!

How about this! I will try to make Yin Lisabeth. Delacroix lean towards us! "

"You are really my good wife!" Jerome Bonaparte said while trying to undress Queen Gusta.

Queen Augusta pushed Jerome Bonaparte's hand away with her hand and said, "I have to go out tomorrow, but I don't need tonight!"

"Alright then!" Jerome Bonaparte shrugged his shoulders in response to Queen Augusta, and then extinguished the kerosene lamp placed beside the bed.

The whole room was plunged into a deep, and not long after, there was a slight snoring sound in the room.

6am the next morning.

When it was just dawn, Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta had already gotten up.

Today, the two of them will not only attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the "Workers' Home", but also go to the Charity Hospital to visit the injured, and finally conduct fundraising activities.

It can be said that he was extremely busy.

[ps: The Workers' House is a semi-welfare rental house that Jerome Bonaparte collected the design ideas of all the workers in Paris, and then ordered his designers to build it.

It is specially used for renting out to workers, and the workers who live in the workers' home only need to pay a small fee every year, and that's it! 】

At 8 o'clock in the morning, Jerome Bonaparte in a military uniform and Augusta in a white dress walked out of the Duin Lery Palace.

At this moment, on both sides of the steps outside Du Yin Leli's Palace are imperial guards with their heads held high. They will be the guards for this trip.

After Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta entered the carriage, the imperial guards standing on the steps also started to move, and they mounted their horses to guard around Jerome Bonaparte's carriage.

The carriage moved slowly all the way, and the Parisians along the way couldn't help but stop and watch when they saw Jerome Bonaparte going out!

Jerome Bonaparte's carriage moved slowly towards the southwest "House of Workers".

Just as Jérôme Bonaparte and Augusta were heading to the "Workers' House" in a carriage, in a group of dilapidated buildings in the Saint-Denis district, three Pierremontese and a Roman asked are communicating with each other in Italian.

One of the Piedmontese asked the Romans: "Orsini, when we start something, I can't wait to take the head of the tyrant!

Let the republic come to this country again! "

The person known as Orsini pondered for a moment~www.NovelMTL.com~ and said to the Piedmontese beside him: "I think we should wait!"

"Wait? How long are we going to wait!" The Piedmontese said obviously a little unconvinced, "If we keep waiting, we may not see the unification of Italy!

Orsini, if you have not the courage to die with the tyrant, we shall be forever defeated! "

"Only when the time is right, can this tyrant be sent away!

Otherwise, we're just wasting our power in vain! ’ Orsini tried to explain to the Piedmontese.

"However, standing still is also a waste of energy!" Seeing that Orsini showed signs of "backing off", another Piedmontese also retorted, "We must start to act as soon as possible!

If you don't want to assassinate, you can quit now! "
