When the color of the day began to light up, and he was able to see the sea and sky in the distance, Napoleon was still in a muddle in the pod of the airship.
"I'm flying in the sky?"
"Well, the view is really good! But will it fall? "
"God, did I just escape from that damned island?"
There was a low cry of surprise from someone in the pod, which awakened Napoleon from all kinds of thoughts. He turned to look around and found that behind him, a red sun was springing up at the end of the sea level
The irresistible momentum of the early sun shocked Napoleon's mind, and a feeling of Indescribability came into being.
Staring blankly at the rising sun, he rubbed his sour eyes until Napoleon could no longer see it. He turned to a familiar looking man and asked in a harmonious voice, "do you have anything to eat, please?"
The reason why the man looked familiar was that Napoleon had seen him several times before when he lived on the island. Although he didn't communicate with each other, Napoleon knew that the man and the others were all residents of the island.
But now it seems that the identities of these people have yet to be determined
"Your Majesty, just a moment. I'll bring you breakfast. But the conditions are limited. Your breakfast is a little simpler. Please understand. "
Napoleon was shocked by the guy's proficiency in French. After living on the island for nearly two years, he heard for the first time that someone besides his entourage could speak French so fluently.
Breakfast is bread, sausage fried eggs and a cup of hot coffee, "sorry, your majesty, there is no way to prepare fresh milk on the airship, only these things, please forgive me."
Napoleon gave a smile and said politely, "that's fine. Thank you. Don't know what I should call you? "
The white man gave a restrained smile and then said, "Your Majesty, my name is Jean Sebastian. My ancestral home is Marseilles, but I was born and raised in the great Chinese Empire..."
Napoleon, who was about to eat bread, was stunned for a moment, but then he took a bite of the bread. After chewing a few mouthfuls, he said, "so, your great chief, the son of God, asked you to save me?"
Jean Sebastian said apologetically, "Your Majesty, please understand. In order to save you safely, we can't disclose this to anyone before... "
"Mmm..." Napoleon just said mmm, then he didn't speak any more, but began to eat. The entourage who boarded the airship with him also began to eat, but their faces were not very good, because there were more than 20 friends who lived together day and night on the island.
There's no way. The airship can't pull so many people. We can only give priority to ensuring that these people escape.
For the next few days, the southeast wind was blowing in the sky, and the airship was much faster. But even so, it took the specially modified airship more than a week to see the distant continent.
The airship is specially modified and has two power systems. One power system is naturally a conventional small steam engine, and the other is a DC motor that the Empire has just begun to promote.
After these years of research, the Empire for internal combustion engine, motor has a mature technology. It's like the Empire installed a battery powered DC motor system on this airship to save Napoleon. When the airship enters the island of St. Helena, the propeller of the airship is driven by the DC motor with low noise, rather than the steam engine with high noise.
This is why when Napoleon was rescued, the people below could only vaguely hear the "buzz".
Of course, when Napoleon was successfully connected to the airship, the airship could start the steam engine again.
Along with the wind and the power of the airship itself, it took the airship more than a week to cross 3500 kilometers of the Atlantic Ocean and finally to Sao Paulo, Brazil.
At this time, although Brazil was still colonized by Portugal, and Portugal had been invaded by the French army in the past two years, the Portuguese royal family had fled to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for refuge. After the death of King Maria I of Portugal last year, the present King Joao VI of Portugal announced in Rio de Janeiro that he would become the new king of Portugal and changed his title to "king of the United Kingdom of Portugal and Brazil".
Yes, at this time, Portugal had been annexed by France. However, with the defeat of Napoleon, Britain actually occupied Portugal and insisted on it. That means very clearly. I just want to annex Portugal.
Although the Porto uprising broke out in Portugal later, which overthrew the British puppet regime in Portugal, it will take three years for that to happen.
Now the king of Portugal, Joao VI, is in Rio de Janeiro.
Originally, the great Chinese Empire intended to expel the Portuguese from the South American continent. As a result, the arrival of the Portuguese royal family delayed the event temporarily. After all, a few years later, Portugal will be part of the fight against Britain.
But even so, the fleet of the Chinese Empire still occupied Sao Paulo and cut off a colony from Brazil. This colony is the territory near tiesijiao.
But at this time, the area was still a primeval forest which was no different from the wild, and no one wanted to live there. Under the powerful military pressure of the Empire, the Portuguese royal family agreed to cede that area and Sao Paulo.
Now Sao Paulo is the bridgehead of the Empire in Brazil. There was not only an imperial fleet, but also a huge military base and shipyard
After more than a week's flight, the airship finally landed safely in Sao Paulo.
A group of people, including Napoleon, were secretly transferred to an underground fortress near the airport. After two days of repair, the airship took off again and went north along the coastline. After arriving at Havana, the airship landed again.
Originally, Jean Sebastian meant to take the airship to Beijing again two days later, but Napoleon, who was tired of airship, said he would not take the airship any more. At Napoleon's insistence, he boarded the Navajo, which was stationed in Havana.
The warship then left port and went straight to New Orleans. After a day's rest in New Orleans, he was pulled into "a very long steel car without animals" under Napoleon's stunned expression. He went north along the steel track not far from the Mississippi River and finally arrived in Shangjing one day later.
From leaving St. Helena to arriving in Shangjing, the journey is more than 10000 kilometers. Even if more than two-thirds of the journey is flying, it takes more than 20 days
