Faced with the sudden knock on the door, Jérôme Bonaparte just raised his head slightly and said calmly, and then lowered his head again.
I heard the sound of "Kacha" pushing the door open at the door of the room, and the figure of Jerome Patterson appeared in the room.
Before Jérôme Patterson could speak, Jérôme Bonaparte, who had his head lowered, responded nonchalantly: "Did the National Intelligence Service send a telegram back again?"
Jerome Patterson had a surprised expression on his face. He didn't understand how Jerome Bonaparte could predict the future, "Yes!"
"Bring it here!
"Jerome Bonaparte raised his head and said to Jerome Patterson.
Jerome Patterson hurriedly walked to Jerome Bonaparte and placed the telegram on the table.
Jérôme Bonaparte put down the report and took the telegram in his hand.
After a while, he put down the telegram and said softly with a smile: "It's not bad!"
After saying that, he picked up the report again and looked at it.
Jerome Patterson, who was standing by now, saw that Jerome Bonaparte was treating the telegram sent by the National Intelligence Service in a nonchalant manner, and he couldn't help but feel the pain of a newborn calf and complained about the National Intelligence Service.
Jérôme Paterson politely asked Jérôme Bonaparte if he should send a telegram back to the National Intelligence Service and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to commend them for their contributions to France.
"What you said does make sense. We can't let the meritorious officials feel cold!" Jerome Bonaparte temporarily turned his eyes away from the report, nodded and gave a meaningful smile to Jérôme Bonaparte.
Tesun said: "Then you can write two letters of commendation to them on my behalf!"
"Me?" Jerome Patterson showed a surprised expression on his face, and then shook his head and responded to Jerome Bonaparte: "I can't!"
"How can a man say that he is not good?" Jérôme Bonaparte then "encouraged" Jérôme Patterson: "Okay! I'll leave the award telegram to you!"
Faced with Jerome Bonaparte's imperial order, Jerome Patterson had no choice but to obey Jerome Bonaparte's order and responded: "Yes!"
Later, Jérôme Bonaparte put forward some requirements for Jérôme Patterson for letters of commendation, such as: the number of words in each article should be no less than 2,000, and the content should also be innovative, and do not imitate some newspapers.
(Observer) Talking about some wheels...
As Jerome Bonaparte made more and more demands, Jerome Patterson's expression gradually became stiff, and now he regretted why he had to step forward.
By the time Jerome Bonaparte had made all his requests, Jerome Patterson's expression had become a little numb.
"Young man, don't be afraid of hardship!" Jérôme Bonaparte used the tone of an experienced person to instill spiritual chicken soup into Jérôme Patterson: "When I was young, countless newspapers approached me every day to ask for articles.
…The reason why I am able to achieve what I am now is because I am a person who is not afraid of hardship…”
Under the influence of Jérôme Bonaparte's success in learning chicken soup, Jérôme Patterson no longer rejected it, but even regarded it as a challenge.
"Patterson, you have to remember!" Jerome Bonaparte's expression gradually became serious, and Jerome Patterson's expression also became serious along with Jerome Bonaparte's seriousness.
Serious: "You are able to stay in the French army now and are complimented and favored by all forces because you are a member of the Bonaparte family! Everything you and your father have is because of Bonaparte.
Because of the surname! In other words, as long as the empire still exists, then there will be a place for you in Duyinleli Palace! On the contrary, if the empire is not there, everything will be destroyed.
So as an uncle, I hope you can use your own hands to defend France and everything we have!"
Jerome Bonaparte's expectations for him made Jerome Patterson feel unprecedented pressure.
He knows that everything he has now comes from his last name.
If the empire is really destroyed one day, then the surname Bonaparte will become worthless.
He no longer wanted to live a homeless life and no longer wanted to be dependent on others.
Therefore, he must use his own hands to protect everything he has!
"Please rest assured that I will definitely live up to your expectations!" Jerome Patterson replied to Jerome Bonaparte with a firm look.
"Very good!" Jérôme Bonaparte smiled with satisfaction and promised him that after the war, he would be promoted to viscount.
However, Jerome Paterson rejected Jerome Bonaparte. He told Jerome Bonaparte that he would win a dukedom through his own efforts rather than relying on the surname Bonaparte.
Jerome Bonaparte still chose to encourage Jerome Patterson's lofty ambitions.
"Your Majesty, your high expectations for me prevent me from slacking off, so please allow me to leave first!" Jerome Patterson said goodbye to Jerome Bonaparte with a serious expression.
"Go!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded and said.
As Jerome Patterson left the office, a sly smile appeared on Jerome Bonaparte's serious face. He took the summary report again. He shook his head and muttered in a low voice: "Tsk, tsk, tsk! This era!
These young people are so honest! If you were talking about the young people of my time, they would definitely not believe such nonsense!"
After saying that, Jerome Bonaparte took out his silver pocket watch from his pocket and took a look at it. It was now about 10 minutes away from 3 o'clock.
"It's time to come back!" Jérôme Bonaparte put his pocket watch back into his pocket and continued to read the summary report.
Just after Jerome Bonaparte read the last page of the summary report, the knock on the door rang again. Jerome Bonaparte took a breath, closed the report and said to the door, "Please
Enter"
Marshal Pellissier, who entered the room this time, came in dusty in his military uniform and reported to Jérôme Bonaparte on the distribution status of the new batch of guns and ammunition that arrived yesterday!
"Well done!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded, then stretched out his hand to invite Marshal Pellissier to sit down.
As soon as he sat down, Marshal Pellissier immediately saw the telegram placed on his desk. He pointed at the telegram and asked Jérôme Bonaparte if there was any new progress in Paris!
"Everything will be clear if you see for yourself!" Jérôme Bonaparte pushed the telegram in front of Marshal Pellissier.
After reading the telegram, Marshal Pelissier excitedly asked Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, does that mean we can launch an attack on Simferopol?"
Jérôme Bonaparte shook his head and replied to Marshal Pellissier: "No hurry! We have to wait for a while!"
"Your Majesty, what are we waiting for?" Marshal Pellissier asked doubtfully, and then raised his concerns: "If Crown Prince Alexander runs away, wouldn't our plan fail?"
"I am certain that Alexander II will not abandon his army and leave at this time!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded to Marshal Pelissier confidently, and then placed the summary report in front of Marshal Pelissier and said
: "Here is the summary report that the Intelligence Department gave me when you left! Take a look!"
Marshal Pellissier had an unnatural expression on his face when he heard about the three members of the Intelligence Division. As a soldier, he had a certain rejection of organizations like the Intelligence Division, which were within the military but not under direct control of the army.
[ps: Although the Aircraft Maintenance Command is affiliated with the Ministry of War and becomes a branch under the Ministry of War, the Aircraft Maintenance Command itself does not report to the Ministry of War. They are a force directly controlled by Jérôme Bonaparte. Therefore, the Intelligence Department is closely related to the Ministry of War.
The relationship between the staff is not that of superiors and subordinates, but that of collaborators.]
If it weren't for Jérôme Bonaparte's strong placement and the small number of people in the Aircraft Maintenance Command (the entire Aircraft Maintenance Command has only about 2,000 people at full strength, scattered among an army of nearly 550,000 people), the army would never have been able to do so.
Allow such organizations to exist.
"Okay! Take a look!" Jérôme Bonaparte gently tapped the summary report and said to Marshal Pellissier.
Pelissier flipped through the report page by page, his expression becoming richer as time went by.
The report shows that the Russian army began after Jérôme Bonaparte sent people to Simferopol and Bakhchisaray to convey the "false" news that Alexander II was about to abandon the Crimean army and return to St. Petersburg alone (because of Gore
The appearance of Duke Litzen forced Jérôme Bonaparte, who had originally planned to announce the serious illness of Nicholas I to the Russian army, to change his focus from how to get Alexander II to leave to how to keep Alexander II here. Therefore,
He concealed his serious illness and emphasized that Alexander II would abandon them and leave.) The morale of the Russian Empire's army immediately suffered a devastating blow.
Perhaps even Crown Prince Alexander did not expect that his previous act of declaring to fight with them in order to save the morale of the Russian Empire would now become a yoke restricting his departure.
For Russian soldiers who have never had contact with Tsar Nicholas I, Crown Prince Alexander is their "little daddy" in the Crimean Peninsula. They are willing to fight for their "little daddy", but now his "little daddy" is ready to give up
If they leave the Crimea Peninsula, then what reason do they have to continue fighting?
Dozens to a hundred Russian soldiers leave Bakhchisarai every day, and this trend is intensifying as time goes by.
So much so that Alexander II had to announce to the public that he would continue to stand with Russian soldiers.
If Alexander II left now, the entire Russian Imperial Army would become extremely weak.
Alexander II could not and did not dare to leave.
"If we launch an attack now, then Alexander II has every reason to leave here! On the contrary, if we do not launch an attack, but instead put on a posture of peace talks..."
