Make France Great Again

In this single battle, McMahon basically wiped out most of the military forces in the western part of the Kingdom of Morocco.

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

Today, the French army is only less than 200 kilometers away from Rabat, which can be said to be too 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!"

"Yes! I think so too!" Chief of Staff Niel nodded, and he was going to go to Duyinleli Palace immediately to report the news to the emperor.

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

Niel and his adjutant looked intently and saw that it was not Emperor Jérôme Bonaparte who entered the war conference room.

"Your Majesty!" Niel's chief of staff and aide-de-camp hurriedly bowed to Jérôme 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 Jérôme 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 responded quickly, and then led Jérôme Bonaparte to the map: "Your Majesty, this is the map of the Kingdom of Morocco!"

Jérôme Bonaparte compared the place names in the telegram and traced them on the map with his hand.

"McMahon's speed is so fast!" Jérôme 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, there may be some trouble in the subsequent battle!" Niel responded to Jérôme Bonaparte in anticipation of the enemy.

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

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 Moroccan soil!

Just like when we were in Algeria!

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

We still have a long way to go before we can completely pacify Morocco! "

"You are right!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded, "Destroying the Kingdom of Morocco is only our first step, and every next step is much more important than the first!"

Immediately afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte asked Niel what he thought about the future political system of the Kingdom of Morocco. Should Abd al-Rahman be deposed and completely annex the Kingdom of Morocco, or should the Kingdom of Morocco be declared to the outside world to be the French Empire? protectorate.

Niel reminded Jérôme Bonaparte that as the Chief of the General Staff, he was only responsible for fighting the war. His Majesty the Emperor should discuss political issues like this with the Minister of State and the Minister of War!

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

The main role of the Chief of General Staff should be to defeat the enemy. It is best not to get involved in matters related to politics.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Niel expressed his gratitude to Jérôme Bonaparte.

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

"Yes!" Niel responded briefly.

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

Niel and his adjutant hurriedly stepped forward to take the emperor to the gate of the General Staff.

"There is no need to say goodbye!" Jerome Bonaparte raised his hand to reject Niel and others' farewell, and then continued: "By the way, your General Staff wants to commend McMahon!

It is precisely because of his decisiveness that our army was able to reach Fes so quickly! "

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

"Yes!" Jérôme Bonaparte turned around and left the General Staff Headquarters in a carriage under the farewell of Niel and his adjutants.

When Jerome Bonaparte returned to the Tuileries 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 Jérôme Bonaparte came back this time, he would bring back such heavyweight news.

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

"That's right!" Jérôme Bonaparte suddenly thought of something, and he hurriedly said to Lucien Murat: "It's best not to see McMahon's use of Chassebo machine guns and Mauser breech-loading guns. In reports!

We have to keep some mystery to our military! "

"Understood!" said Lucien Murat.

"Okay! That's it! 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, Jérôme Bonaparte returned to the bedroom from the study and thought of McMahon's "excellent" history again. He hurriedly asked Augusta beside him: "Augusta, your wife Can we add another person to the circle?"

"Tell me! Your Majesty, who do you want to throw at me?" Queen Augusta said to Jerome Bonaparte angrily.

"Daughter of the Duke of Castris, Elizabeth Delacroix!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Queen Augusta.

Queen Augusta thought for a moment and replied to Jérôme Bonaparte: "I remember that the Duke of Castries and his family all serve that guy in Chambord. Why would you want to win over them!"

"Yes!" Jerome Bonaparte sighed softly and said to Queen Augusta: "Who can give their family a son-in-law who can fight!"

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

After hearing this, Queen Augusta also nodded and said: "Yes! We really should win over her!

How about this! I will try my best to let Yin Elizabeth Delacroix lean towards us! "

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

Queen Augusta pushed away Jérôme Bonaparte's hand and said, "I have to go out tomorrow, but there is no need to go out tonight!"

"Okay!" Jérôme Bonaparte shrugged his shoulders and responded to Queen Augusta, then extinguished the kerosene lamp placed by the bedside.

The whole room fell into darkness, and not long after, a slight snoring sound came from the room.

…

6 o'clock in the morning the next day.

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

Today, the two of them not only have to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the "Workers' Home", but also go to a charity hospital to visit the injured, and finally conduct a fund-raising event.

It can be said that it is extremely busy.

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

It is specially designed to be rented to workers. Workers who live in workers' homes only need to pay a small annual fee, and that's it! 】

At 8 o'clock in the morning, Jérôme Bonaparte, who was wearing a military uniform, and Augusta, who was wearing a white dress, walked out of the Tuileries Palace.

At this moment, on both sides of the steps outside Duyinleli Palace were Imperial Guardsmen with their heads held high. They would be the escort candidates for this trip.

After Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta entered the carriage, the Imperial Guards standing on the steps also began to take action. They mounted their horses to guard around Jerome Bonaparte's carriage.

The carriage moved forward slowly, and the Parisian people along the way couldn't help but stop and watch when they saw Jerome Bonaparte traveling!

Jérôme Bonaparte's carriage moved slowly toward the "Workers' House" in the southwest.

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

One of the Piedmontese asked the Romans: "Orsini, what are we going to do? I can't wait to take off the tyrant's head!

Let the Republic come to this country again! "

The man known as Orsini looked thoughtful for a moment, then said to the Piedmontese beside him: "I think we should wait!"

"Wait? How long do we have to wait!" The Piedmontese said with obvious dissatisfaction, "If we wait any longer, we may not see the unification of Italy!

Orsini, if you do not have the courage to die with the tyrant, then we will always be in defeat! "

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

Otherwise, we are just wasting our strength! ” Orsini tried to explain to the Piedmontese.

"However, standing still is also a waste of strength!" Seeing Orsini showing signs of "retreating", another Piedmontese also argued, "We must start taking action as soon as possible!

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