Chapter 613： Abdul's ambition

"I am honored to visit this ancient and great country on behalf of the French Empire, and when I first stepped into this country, I immediately felt a very different feeling from the French Empire.

Wisdom from the East and ideas from the West meet here, resulting in the birth of a great city, Constantinople.

In this diverse city, I have seen Arabs and Greeks supporting each other; I have seen communists, Eastern Orthodox, and Catholics coexisting peacefully here. This harmonious scene is something I can never see in Europe. ; Because there are still many countries in Europe that persecute and fight each other because of religious issues!

Although we have the thinking from Socrates, Rousseau and others, we lack the wisdom from the eastern countries..."

Jerome Bonaparte, standing at the harbour, speaks Greek (Jerome Bonaparte does not speak Turkish, but he speaks Greek. Greek is the second most popular language in Constantinople) in Turkish, so many of the inhabitants of Constantinople can understand a word or two of Greek), gushing as if "no one knows the Ottoman Empire better than I do": "In today's There is such a saying in my hometown, people want to be closely connected, nothing more than going to the window together, going to prostitutes together (some Wahhabi imams in the crowd frown slightly), together Divided, carried guns together.

Now our army and your army are in Crimea, fighting for Turkey and Europe. The relationship between our two countries is to squat together in the same trench as comrades-in-arms.

The comrades-in-arms should support and help each other so as to achieve the goal of common progress.

Therefore, I believe that the relationship between the French Empire and the Ottoman Empire will be able to move to a whole new level in the future!

The future of the Ottoman Empire will also get better and better, just like the French Empire. Even though our two countries will face ups and downs in the future, I believe that we will be able to get out of the predicament and achieve success! Thanks! "

As soon as Jerome Bonaparte finished speaking, Abdul Meguid immediately took the lead in applauding. The surrounding officials, soldiers, and even the people also spontaneously applauded Jerome Bonaparte's speech.

The applause continued one after another, and the residents standing by the piers and windows of the port never imagined that there would actually be foreign monarchs to praise them.

The Ottoman Empire, which has been oppressed by the Russian Empire for a long time, has long been accustomed to all kinds of insults. If Jerome Bonaparte did not insult them directly, they were already happy, let alone praise.

No matter how imaginative the imams were, they didn't dare to think that someone would praise them. Jerome Bonaparte's words were like a sapling that was about to die, suddenly encountered a continuous spring rain.

That feeling was even more refreshing than eating Afro, so when the translator repeated Jerome Bonaparte's words in Turkic language, no matter how disgusted the imams of foreign monarchs were, they were very fond of Jerome Bonaparte. M. Bonaparte couldn't be disgusted, and there was even a vague idea in their hearts that someone finally understood them.

So Jerome Bonaparte's first impression of Constantinople was a completely positive one.

After a while, the applause gradually ceased, and Abdul Meguid also said, "I am very grateful to my friend Emperor Jerome Bonaparte for being here!

Facts have proved that the relationship between France and Haussmann will not be lost over time, but will become more stable as time goes by.

I hope my friends have a pleasant trip in Constantinople! "

After Abdul Meguid finished speaking, Jerome Bonaparte also took the lead in applauding.

The new army responsible for blocking the port also shouted "Long live the French-Turkish friendship!" three times in French and Turkic.

Afterwards, Abdul Meguidra took Jerome Bonaparte's sore hand and he got into a gilded carriage that symbolized the rights of the Ottoman sultans.

Abdul Mejid, who entered the carriage, slowly lowered the curtain. If he looked in from the outside, he could only see a vague outline.

Mahmoud, Rehed... and members of the French Embassy delegation also entered the carriage, which carried them to Topkapi Palace.

"Your Majesty's speech is getting more and more proficient!" Valewski, who leaned his body on the carriage, couldn't help but sigh, and then looked at Klein, who was contemplating: "Klein, what's wrong with you?"

Klein, who heard Ambassador Wallevsky's shout, immediately reacted. He shook his head and asked Ambassador Wallevsky, "No... nothing?"

"Nothing? How could your absent-minded look just now be nothing?" Wallevsky responded to Klein.

"Lord Valewski, I..." Klein wanted to say something, but he stopped.

"What are you?" Wallevsky looked at Klein curiously, and then encouraged Klein to tell himself the doubts in his heart.

"Your Majesty Wallevsky, why did His Majesty come to Constantinople?" Klein asked Wallevsky, "There is no need for him to come in person!"

"You don't understand this! His Majesty's character has always been a couple lobster who can do it himself, and he will never leave it to others to do it!" Wallevsky said to Klein: "I guess the reason why His Majesty will personally Come here, perhaps because he himself wants to come out for a spin!"

"Ah!" Klein looked at Wallevsky in surprise, judging from his expression. He seemed a little distrustful of Wallewski's guess.

"What's there to shout about!" Wallevsky shrugged and said to Klein: "Your Majesty is also a human! He can't just stay in the Tuileries Palace, so he took this opportunity to come here. Also a very reasonable thing!

And Klein, you have to be prepared! "

Looking at Wallewski's serious face, Klein's heart also became inexplicably nervous: "Your Excellency Ambassador, what am I going to prepare?"

"An answer when preparing to meet with His Majesty the Emperor!" Wallevsky shrugged his shoulders and lowered his voice to Klein: "His Majesty the Emperor will probably ask you some questions about the Holy Land and the province of Syria, and you can answer truthfully at that time. Now! If you're lucky, you might become the consul of the Holy Land!"

"I? The Holy Land Consul?" Klein swallowed subconsciously. Now he is just the secretary of Ambassador Wallevsky. The position of consul is too far away from him!

"But you can only be a French citizen, and you may not be old enough! At that time, I am afraid that there will be an ambassador from Paris who will serve as the consul of the Holy Land. This consul is just a vain position to act as a face, and you will become the true uncrowned king of the Holy Land! "Walewski paused, and then asked Klein: "By the way, are you willing to become French nationality!"

"Of course I do!" Klein responded decisively. You only need to change one nationality to get the consular position. This transaction is really worth it.

"As long as you are willing to become French nationals, then everything will be settled!" Jerome Bonaparte sighed and said with emotion: "At that time, I can return to Paris in peace!"

"Drink the ambassador, you want to go back to Paris!" Klein felt a little flustered by Wallevsky's answer, and he hurriedly asked Wallevsky.

"Yes!" Wallevsky nodded and responded, "I've been in this position for almost a year, and it's only natural to go back, and this time I'm likely to replace De Luiz. Foreign Secretary's post!"

Klein, who heard that his boss was serving as foreign minister, was relieved, and he was not worried that he would be helpless in court.

After all, he is just an ordinary (slightly gifted) Greek, and everything he does comes from Wallevsky, so the relationship between him and Wallevsky is both pros and cons.

No one wanted Ambassador Wallewski to a good position more than he did.

"Klein, you need to be fully prepared!" Ambassador Wallevsky said to Klein with a serious expression: "Your answer determines your future! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you. You must do your best to catch him!"

"Yes!" Klein also responded in a sonorous tone.

After a while, the carriage slowly stopped.

Topkapi Palace is in sight.

Jerome Bonaparte and Abdul Meguid entered the Topkapi Palace, followed by Marshal Mahmoud and Prime Minister Reshid.

A group of people entered the palace in a mighty manner, and a grand banquet will also be held in Topkapi Palace.

Before the banquet began, Jerome Bonaparte and Abdul Meguid needed to receive greetings from the dignitaries of Constantinople.

During this period, Abdul Mejid I and Jerome Bonaparte also talked a lot, including the issue of ironclads.

"Jérôme, the new warships of your French Empire are really beautiful!" Abdul Meguid I whispered to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Thank you for the compliment!" Jerome Bonaparte responded in a flat tone. UU Reading

"I don't know if this new warship can be sold to us!" Abdul Meguid asked Jerome Bonaparte, and then added: "If it is not possible in a short time, can we The French Empire is making reservations!"

Hearing Abdul Meguid's answer, Jerome Bonaparte subconsciously wanted to refuse, because the ironclad technology France was still in a short-term advantage.

Once the order of the Ottoman Empire is accepted, the British Kingdom will inevitably copy it.

By that time, their advantage will no longer exist.

However, he thought about it again...
