Make France Great Again

However, Jerome Bonaparte thought again.

The achievements of the French Empire in ironclads also do not seem to allow France to maintain its advantage for long.

Ironclads are also not like nuclear bombs. You build them a year faster than the other party, and you can maintain a one-year offensive.

Jerome Bonaparte had reason to believe that the Kingdom of Britain could produce ironclad ships with better performance than "Friendship" in one to two years.

After all, the British kingdom's shipbuilding industry has thrown a large part of France's matter, and all the navies, including Minister Dicko, have to admit the British kingdom's achievements in the navy.

Instead of maintaining the advantage for a year or two, it is better to work with the Kingdom of Britain to develop ironclad ships, and absorb the technology of the British shipbuilding industry by the way.

France provided the advanced technology of ironclads, and Britain had to provide some equivalent technology.

Furthermore, France is the center of gravity of continental countries and has always been in the European continent, and the navy does not need or have the ability to challenge the Kingdom of Great Britain in a short period of time.

...

At this time, Abdul Majid I didn't know yet that Jerome Bonaparte had thought so much in this short period of time.

Now he is still waiting hopefully for Jerome Bonaparte's reply.

"Do you also want ironclads?" Jerome Bonaparte, who had recovered his senses, still asked Abdul Majid I with a smile on his face.

"Yes!" Abdul Majid I nodded, "The Ottoman Empire lost too many ships in the last naval battle, so we must replenish new ships! Only in this way can the Ottoman Empire be able to fight in the Black Sea. Balance power with the Russian Empire!"

"Then we don't need ironclads either!" Jerome Bonaparte shrugged and said, "The Russian Imperial Fleet today is about to be wiped out by us!"

"The Russian Empire will continue to build!" Abdul Mejid I hurriedly said.

"Don't worry, after this war! I guarantee that all the shipyards of the Russian Empire in the Black Sea region will be dismantled!" Jerome Bonaparte assured Abdul Meguid I.

Now Abdul Mejid I seems to have no reason to buy ironclad ships from France.

"However, if you really want it, that's fine!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Abdul Majid I, "but you need to prepare something!"

"What?" Abdul Majid I hurriedly asked Jerome Bonaparte as his eyes lit up.

"Ironclad ships are different from the previous wooden warships. Their internal structures are more complicated! You should know about ships. The more complex you are, the harder it is to maintain! You can't always pull the ship down to France for repairs!" Jerome Bonaparte seems to be thinking of Abdul Mejid I.

Abdul Mejid I nodded subconsciously.

"So my suggestion is that you build a repair shop first, and then think about the ironclad!" Jerome Bonaparte responded to Abdul Meguid I.

"How should I build it!" Abdul Majid I asked Jerome Bonaparte.

"I'll go back and ask the Admiralty to give you a list, you can just buy according to the list!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Abdul Meguid I.

"That ship..." Abdul Mejid I asked.

"How many are you going to ask for?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Abdul Majid I.

"3... ah no! It's better to have 5 ships!" Abdul Majid I responded with five fingers to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Five ships? This is a big project! Let me do the math for you. Now our shipyard can only build one ship a year at full capacity (actually two ships a year), and you ask for five ships all at once. , which is equivalent to the shipyard needing to build your ship for five years!"

At this time, Jerome Bonaparte was like a calculating businessman, and he broke up with Abdul Majid one by one: "And the cost of an ironclad ship is about more than 2 million pounds. Left and right, I worry that your finances may not be able to bear..."

When Abdul Majid heard the numbers reported by Jerome Bonaparte, he couldn't help gasping for air. He never imagined that the cost of an ironclad ship would be so expensive.

"So I still recommend that you buy an ironclad ship, and then match it with several newly developed (wooden) battleships!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Abdul Meguid I: "With these, you You can no longer be afraid of Russia! When the time comes, you can also send the navy to bombard Odessa!"

Abdul Mejid I nodded subconsciously, but he didn't know that he had fallen into the trap of Jerome Bonaparte!

Although the era of ironclad ships has not yet come to an end, Jerome Bonaparte has to hurry up and phase out all the wooden battleships in hand (considering that most countries except Britain and France are poor, so it is very hot Roma Bonaparte defaults to installment.) Sold.

Once the age of ironclads came to an end, the battleships in the hands of the French Empire would become ornamental toys.

The Ottoman Empire is naturally the best selling object.

Not only that, but Jérôme Bonaparte also considered asking Alexander II whether he needed ships to maintain the security of the Baltic Sea after the war. Russia would also be a good partner if needed.

In the end, Abdul Meguid I agreed with Jerome Bonaparte. The Ottoman Empire would order five battleships from the French Empire, four of which were sailing battleships and one was an ironclad.

Considering that the Ottoman Empire itself was not financially strong, Jerome Bonaparte lent Abdul Mejid I a loan with an annual interest rate of 5.2%.

As for why 5.2%, this is of course Jerome Bonaparte's bad taste.

This rate was a conscientious price compared to the loans that Britain lent to the Ottoman Empire.

Of course, no matter how conscience is, it is a loan that needs to be repaid.

It was the citizens of the entire Ottoman Empire who paid for Abdul Mejid I's fleet ambitions.

Subsequently, Jerome Bonaparte and Abdul Mejid I began to discuss the Balkans again.

Abdul Majid I implicitly expressed his dissatisfaction with the Kingdom of Greece to Jerome Bonaparte. He told Jerome Bonaparte that the Principality of Montenegro and Serbia were still in a deadlock. At this stage, it seems that these stragglers are supported by the state behind them, and they found that among the captured soldiers, many of them were of Greek ethnicity.

"You mean the Kingdom of Greece is supporting them behind their backs?" Jerome Bonaparte said to Abdul Meguid I in a casual tone while rubbing his sleeves gently.

"Probably!" Abdul Mejid I didn't dare to say too deadly.

Now that the Greek kingdom is on the thigh of the French Empire, Abdul Majid I was not sure whether France would favor the Greek kingdom.

If the Kingdom of Greece was not behind France, Abdul Mejid I would have ordered his army to crush the "volunteers" of the Kingdom of Greece, and then sent people to raise their troops to inquire.

"This question, I will send someone to ask the Kingdom of Greece!" Jerome Bonaparte replied to Abdul Meguid I after thinking for a while.

If he remembers correctly, the current king of the Kingdom of Greece is Otto I of the Wittelsbach dynasty.

This person is also a man of great ambition and talent. As a king, he does not want to unite his subjects, but opposes his subjects everywhere.

In the face of the Orthodox Church, which occupies the vast majority of Greece, Otto is not even willing to pretend to convert.

Just such a man, the subjects of Greece were able to let him continue the notice until 1862.

If it is France, Otto's operation can directly mention the treatment of escaping the next year.

In the whole of Europe, there is no nation more difficult to manage than the Parisians.

Jerome Bonaparte admired their spirit of resistance, but also made him grit his teeth.

Facing this group of guys who live out the value of the United Front, all Jerome Bonaparte can do is to carry out reform and redistribution when the whole society is about to arouse dissatisfaction!

Even if this road is a hundred times more difficult than simply being an emperor, he will stick to it with gritted teeth!

Who let him spread to the people of Paris!

Then again, Jerome Bonaparte is also impossible to block the Greek kingdom directly, that will only make them fall to the British kingdom.

And Jerome Bonaparte himself needs to court the Wittelsbach family.

The Kingdom of Prussia is France's confidant, and Bavaria is France's most suitable shitpost in Germany.

For a long time, the Kingdom of Bavaria has been playing the role of a qualified German shit.

Only when the water in Germany is completely turbid can Jerome Bonaparte be able to catch fish in the turbid river water.

Of course, these are all things in the future.

Jérôme Bonaparte plans to send someone with a serious warning first.

If the Greek kingdom is really obsessed ~ www.readwn.com~ Jerome Bonaparte tacitly assumes that those Greeks who appear in the Balkans are the ones who need to be hanged.

Then let the British kingdom act as the villain and completely block the coastline of the Greek kingdom, making them have to submit.

For Jerome Bonaparte, Otto's desire to expand at this time is somewhat out of his mind. He really thinks that everyone is the Austrian Empire.

[PS: In fact, Otto I saw that the Austrian Empire occupied the Danube Principality with the endorsement of France, and he had a crooked mind. They also wanted to get on the bus first and then make up the ticket. 】

After Jerome Bonaparte's conversation with Abdul Meguid I ended, the banquet began as night fell.
