Chapter 884: If you have a father, you will never give up (Third update, please subscribe)
Face the British threat!
Not only does Eugene know how to do it, but he even goes further!
Almost on the day when Britain launched its blackmail, Eugène convened a special meeting of the Legislative Council. Facing the members of the Legislative Council, Eugène, the Emperor Napoleon IV of the Second French Empire, delivered a passionate speech. .
"...After the fall of Constantinople in 1453, from that day on, the glory of Christ no longer shone on that land. In the past few hundred years, the Turks have been ravaging the kingdom of God and destroying Christ. The church, killing devout people of God, insulting chaste women, greedily drinking the blood of baptized children. From Greece to the Balkans, from the Balkans to Vienna, from Vienna to Kiev, Christians are crying and praying!"
On the rostrum of the Legislative Assembly, Napoleon IV pointed his finger at Turkey from the beginning. In order to make his actions "more legitimate", he even quoted Urban II's speech calling for the Crusades.
“In 1095, Pope Urban II loudly declared in Clermont – Let us engage in a holy war – a great crusade to regain the Holy Land for the Lord! Let all disputes about peace Stop fighting and embark on the journey to the Holy Land! Take back the Holy Land from that evil race!"
When his words fell, the applause in the Legislative Council was like thunder. As the largest Catholic country in the world, France has granted itself papal patronage, and it is natural that they should go to recover the Holy Land.
Reclaim the Holy Land!
That's an honor!
Recovering the Holy Land...of course also brings wealth!
For those in power, they never mind the outbreak of war, because war will never take away their wealth, and will even double their wealth. As for death, that is a matter for civilians.
"For the glory of Christ Jesus, for the return of the Holy Land, and for those oppressed Christians, the French Empire will bravely shoulder the responsibility of recovering the Holy Land!"
Amidst the warm applause and Eugene's exciting speech, the Second French Empire declared war on Turkey!
This move shocked the whole of Europe, and of course the world.
Because just a few hours ago, Britain had just decided to send their fleet to Turkey, and they kept saying something - Britain would never accept a war against Turkey by other countries.
And how did France respond?
war!
Yes, it's war!
France declares war on Türkiye!
France will fight for the glory of God, for Jerusalem.
Faced with France's decision, European countries were confused. They were even more nervous. Whether they were nervous or not, once the war broke out, it would be the largest European war since the Napoleonic era!
This European war!
No one knows what the outcome will be, but one thing is certain, once this war starts, it will definitely be protracted.
That is to say, when people in Europe were panicking and at a loss, the Ming Dynasty on the other side of the ocean also responded. They once again sent their fleet to the Mediterranean.
"We will prove to the world with our will and blood that the Imperial Alliance will never accept any blackmail!"
At the same time, Ming Dynasty also declared war on Turkey. On the day of the declaration of war, Ming Dynasty confiscated the arms ordered by Turkey from Ming Dynasty - as many as 50 airships, hundreds of thousands of rifles and a large amount of ammunition. Well, after the war broke out,
The order placed in Turkey, however... was not delivered in a hurry. Although I only paid a 30% deposit, it was still a lot of money!
In short, Ming Dynasty made a small fortune. Even the weapons it had just ordered were resold by Ming Dynasty to France and Russia, making two fortunes back and forth. It must be said that Ming Dynasty made a fortune!
This is how war fortunes are made.
However, between countries, this amount of money is nothing more than a small sum of money.
After learning that the Ming Dynasty had declared war on Turkey and dispatched all their remaining battleships, Eugène seemed very excited. He even came to the Palace of Fontainebleau - since the death of his father three years ago, Queen Eugenie and his
My younger brother Zhu Di lives here.
"Mother, you are right, Ming Dynasty really declared war!"
As soon as he saw his mother, Ou Ren's tone seemed a little excited.
"Not only did they declare war, but they also sent out all their warships. It's really hard to imagine, mother, you know, they sent out all their fleets before the war with Brazil was over."
Looking at her son who was a little excited, Queen Eugenie smiled.
"I said, he will not let you down. All you need is to try your best and do your job well!"
He has never let her down, even he had arranged everything a few years ago.
"Thank you, mother!"
Ou Ren looked at his mother and thanked her.
"What are you thanking me for? Eugene, my son, you are stronger than your father. I hope that one day I can see you become as great an emperor as Napoleon."
Facing his mother's expectations, Ou Ren nodded and said.
"Mother, I will go to Jerusalem soon. After the Holy City is recovered, mother, I will definitely become as great an emperor as him!"
Like who?
There is not only one Napoleon in Eugene's heart, but also another person, who planned everything for him a few years ago.
"Wait until you meet those bankers before leaving. As he said, those bankers have a very keen sense of smell. They will definitely understand the profound meaning of your speech. As long as those people are here, they will be happy for this.
Pay for the war!"
When looking at her son, Eugenie's eyes were full of reluctance. He would soon go to the battlefield. When he went, he was just an emperor, but when he came back, he would become the real emperor of France!
And all of this was driven by him.
"Are they really coming?"
Ou Ren said a little worried.
"I just quoted Pope Urban II's speech. How could they have such a reaction?"
"He can't be wrong, I believe in him!"
When Eugenie spoke, her tone was as calm as before, but when she mentioned "him", her eyes were full of love and longing.
The mother's strangeness caught Ou Ren's eyes. Although he could see his mother's love and longing for him, he seemed to turn a blind eye and said.
"Yes, I should also believe him. What about Emperor Zhu?"
He loves his younger brother very much, after all, he is his only younger brother.
"He is in class. I will ask someone to call him over soon. He will be very happy if he knows that you are here. Recently, he has been clamoring to go to the Louvre to find you."
When she mentioned her youngest son, Eugenie's face was filled with happiness. Her happiness was very simple. It was nothing more than her two children. Of course, if she could be with him, she would be even happier.
Thinking of this, she even envied Sissi. At least she could travel around the world. Maybe, they could go to Daming together.
If the two of them go there together, he will definitely be very happy when the time comes!
Thinking of this, she was not only a little distracted, but even her face was filled with happiness and expectation.
Maybe you can give it a try, such as flying over in an airship...
