Make France Great Again

Chapter 796: First Stop: Baden

The soldiers of the Principality of Baden present also gave Jerome Bonaparte enough face. From the beginning to the end of Jerome Bonaparte's speech, the applause never stopped.

"Friends and brothers of the Principality of Baden!" Jérôme Bonaparte affectionately called the soldiers of the Principality of Baden "brothers": "On behalf of France, I warmly welcome you to go to France, enjoy the beautiful scenery of France, and experience the culture of France. landscape!

Only in this way can the connections and exchanges between the French Empire and the Duchy of Baden be deepened... Germany and France are both great nations, and I hope that the two great nations should always maintain the concept of mutual cooperation and win-win results.

Blind confrontation will not make our two countries strong, but will make the two countries, which should be able to win together, fall into a state of decline!

I hope you will remember this, and I can guarantee that the rifles of the French Empire will never be pointed at their friends!

Our rifles will only be used to protect our friends and every independent country! "

As soon as Jerome Bonaparte finished speaking, the soldiers of the Duchy of Baden present, led by their general, applauded again.

Then Jerome Bonaparte once again stretched out his hand and shook it tightly with the general.

After the handshake was over, he escorted Jerome Bonaparte and others to the nearby military railway station, and specially prepared a train for Jerome Bonaparte directly to Karlsruhe, the capital of Baden. .

"Your Majesty, I will send you here!" General Andre Kalman, the border guard general of the Principality of Baden, responded respectfully to Jerome Bonaparte.

"General Andre Kalman, thank you very much for escorting our couple here in person!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded politely to Andre Kalman.

"Your Majesty, this is what I should do!" Andre Kalman replied forcefully.

"I hope that one day you will be able to go to Paris! I will entertain you personally then!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded to Andre Kalman as he stepped onto the steps to enter the steam train.

"Your Majesty!" Andre Kalman responded to Jerome Bonaparte: "If I have time, I will definitely go to Paris!"

The steam train blew its whistle immediately after Jérôme Bonaparte and others got on the train.

At this time, the direction of the steam train was already turning slightly white. Jérôme Bonaparte, who was sitting in a special carriage, was sitting on a camp bed fixed to the side of the train. He yawned and asked Augusta: "What time is it now?" Clicked!"

"It's almost 5 o'clock now!" Augusta glanced at his pocket watch and responded to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"It's five o'clock!" Jerome Bonaparte yawned again, and then asked Mokar: "How long will it take us to arrive in Karlsruhe!"

"Your Majesty, the journey is expected to take more than 6 hours! That means we will arrive in Karlsruhe at about 1 p.m.!" Mokar responded to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Then I'll go to sleep first! You guys should also take a little rest!" After Jerome Bonaparte said that, he took off his Martin boots and lay down on the camp bed.

Queen Augusta, who was sitting opposite Jerome Bonaparte, looked at Jerome Bonaparte who had closed her eyes, also yawned and ordered Mokar: "Mokar, you guys also have a rest. Go!"

"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen!" Mokar responded respectfully to Queen Augusta, then left the carriage where Jérôme Bonaparte and Queen Augusta were, and jumped into another carriage to rest.

Amidst the rumble of the steam train, Jérôme Bonaparte and Queen Augusta entered their dreams respectively.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

As Augusta's hazy shouts reached his ears, Jérôme Bonaparte, who had fallen into a deep sleep, slowly opened his eyes and asked lazily, "What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, we are almost there!" Queen Augusta said to Jerome Bonaparte.

Upon hearing the news that he was about to arrive, Jerome Bonaparte immediately climbed out of bed, slowly put on the Martin boots placed beside the bed, then stood up and opened the black curtain hanging on the car window, looking towards out the window.

At this time, the sun was hanging high in the sky, and as far as the eye could see was a green field. Only by looking far into the distance could one see the small town in the distance, just like an island in the sea.

If Augusta hadn't told him that this place was near the capital Karlsruhe, Jerome Bonaparte really couldn't believe that this place was near the capital circle.

However, come to think of it, it’s nothing new!

Even in Paris today, as long as you step out of the city center and planned areas, the outside world is no different from the Middle Ages.

The division between urban and rural areas was vividly demonstrated in the first industrial revolution.

"I didn't expect to see so many rural scenery near the capital area!" Looking at the scenery in the distance, Jérôme Bonaparte couldn't help but joke.

"Do you think anyone can have as much capital as France! Can build Paris into an international metropolis!" Queen Augusta replied to Jerome Bonaparte,

"Are you praising me?" Jerome Bonaparte shrugged his shoulders and responded to Queen Augusta, and then added: "But now I understand! Why the German monarchs like Heading to Paris!”

"Okay! You must not say these words in public!" Queen Augusta reminded Jerome Bonaparte.

"You think I am such a fool!" Jerome Bonaparte spread his hands and replied to Queen Augusta.

Another half hour passed, and the train finally arrived near the city of Karlsruhe.

The scene finally became a little bit like the industrial revolution. Steamboats were drifting on the river with black gas, and rows of buildings were scattered near the train tracks.

And Jerome Bonaparte was already dressed and ready to get off the train with Augusta.

As a whistle sounded, Jérôme Bonaparte and Augusta in the carriage clearly felt that the steam train was slowly slowing down.

Platforms similar to those in some small border counties in his previous life appeared in Jérôme Bonaparte's eyes. Looking at the platform in front of him, the corners of Jérôme Bonaparte's mouth twitched slightly.

This platform is incomparable to the Paris platform, and is even inferior to the platform in Marseille.

The train stopped slowly. A man wearing a light blue button-down military uniform and a mustache was standing on the platform waiting, and behind him was a group of guards also wearing light blue military uniforms.

After the train came to a complete stop, the soldiers behind the man hurried to the train and opened the door. Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta walked out of the train arm in arm.

"Your Majesty!" After seeing Jerome Bonaparte, the man immediately bowed humbly to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Frederich! My brother!" Jerome Bonaparte let go of Augusta's hand, stood in front of him and gave him a warm hug.

That's right, the man in front of him is none other than the Grand Regent of the Grand Duchy of Baden, Frederick William Ludwig.

If this name is not familiar, then his other identity is familiar to many people.

He was the son-in-law of the future William I. He was also the one who took the lead in persuading the South German monarchs to recognize Emperor William I (although the emperor was originally positioned as the president of the Confederation) and shouted "Long Live" when William I was crowned in the Palace of Versailles.

Without his persuasion, the monarch of South Germany would have caused some trouble.

This Frederick was also trusted by William I because he took the lead in shouting Long Live at Versailles.

It can be said that the status of the Principality of Baden in the German Empire was won because of Frederick's leadership in shouting.

However, the current Frederick has not yet married William I, and has not even served as the Grand Duke of Baden.

His mentally ill brother will have to wait until next year to completely retire, and his current position is the same as that of William I of the Kingdom of Prussia, which is also at the level of regent.

"Your Majesty, I am glad that you can visit Karlsruhe!" Prince Regent Friedrich responded to Jerome Bonaparte with a smile.

"Fredrich, if you want, you can call me Jerome directly!" Jerome Bonaparte let go of Frederick and said to the Regent, and then introduced him to Frederick. Queen Augusta, "This is my wife Augusta!"

Augusta also smiled, and Frederick kissed the back of Augusta's hand. To show respect.

Later, under the leadership of Frederick, Jerome Bonaparte rode a tall horse and walked through the streets of Karlsruhe with Frederick, while Queen Augusta sat on Frederick's Inside the open carriage specially prepared by Xi.

The citizens who had already organized cheered the arrival of Jerome Bonaparte, and Jerome Bonaparte marched all the way to the square amidst the cheers.

In front of the square, the neatly arranged Baden soldiers stopped their backs after seeing the arrival of Jerome Bonaparte and Friedrich, and accepted the review of the two men with high morale.

"How about we both dismount!" Jerome Bonaparte suggested, and Frederic nodded in agreement.

Jérôme Bonaparte and Frederick stood in the open space of the square. The general in charge of the phalanx of soldiers saw this and quickly ordered his soldiers to start.

Groups of soldiers walked up to Jerome Bonaparte and saluted him.

Jerome Bonaparte also watched every soldier leave with a solemn expression, and his move immediately won the favor of the Baden citizens and Frederick present.
