Chapter eight hundred and ninety seventh rebuke Wayan
Jerome Bonaparte's suggestion was not adopted by the Persian envoy, who ultimately chose to negotiate peace with the Kingdom of Britain as soon as possible.
“Your Majesty, thank you for your suggestion!” the Post envoy responded to Jérôme Bonaparte, “However, I still hope that peace talks can be held as soon as possible!
Because every day it is delayed, the British army will cause huge losses to our country."
After Jérôme Bonaparte was silent for a moment, the Post shrugged his shoulders and responded: "Since you insist on negotiating as soon as possible, then I respect your opinion!
The envoy from the Kingdom of Britain should arrive in Paris in a week.
At that time, you can discuss it in detail at Tuyinleli Palace!"
"Thank you very much!" Envoy Post immediately showed a smile on his face. He understood that the reason why Jérôme Bonaparte chose the Palace of Tuilleries for the meeting was because he was prepared to give them a hand during the negotiations.
If France really maintains a strictly neutral attitude, the meeting place should be at the Quai d'Orsay instead of the Tuileries Palace.
"Nothing! Cough...cough!" Jerome Bonaparte cleared his throat, pretending to be casual and asked if the Persian envoy was willing to purchase some goods from the French Empire to promote exchanges between France and Persia.
The Post envoy immediately realized that Jérôme Bonaparte's subtext was that he wanted to get some benefits, and he quickly expressed that he should indeed buy some French "local specialties" in France.
It’s just that I don’t know much about France, so I don’t know what to buy.
Could you ask Emperor Jérôme Bonaparte to recommend it on your behalf?
"When it comes to souvenirs, no one knows the souvenirs of France better than me!" Jérôme Bonaparte immediately boasted to the Persian envoy: "Other things in France may not be as good as some countries, but our rifles and artillery,
It cannot be said to be the best in the world, but it can also be said to be at the forefront of the world.
I suggest you buy a batch and equip them in your army.
I believe it will definitely improve your army's combat capabilities... I have read your battle report against the British Kingdom. What your army lacks is qualified rifles and artillery!
Believe me, as long as you have qualified rifles and artillery, and then strengthen and train to a certain extent, you will be able to transform yourself!"
After listening to Jerome Bonaparte's words, Ambassador Post's expression fell into a dull state. He had never thought that the "local specialties" recommended by His Majesty Emperor Jerome Bonaparte were so hard-core.
However, what Emperor Jerome Bonaparte said does have some truth. What their Persian Kingdom lacks is advanced rifles and artillery.
As long as they have these, even if they can't defeat the British Kingdom, they can't defeat the rebel forces in the kingdom (mainly the ethnic minorities in Persia)!
After thinking about this, the Persian envoy hurriedly responded to Jérôme Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, we are willing to purchase a batch of arms!"

"How much do you need to prepare?" Jérôme Bonaparte's eyes lit up and he asked enthusiastically.
"As long as 10,000 rifles... okay?" Post envoy asked tentatively.
Ambassador Post had no plan to purchase French arms when he came this time. Now that something unexpected happened, the diplomatic funds he could use could only purchase 10,000 rifles at most.
"Mr. Farroch!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded to the Post envoy in a low tone, "10,000 rifles can't do anything at all, we must purchase them on a large scale!"
"Large-scale procurement requires the consent of His Majesty Nacher!" Ambassador Post replied to Jérôme Bonaparte with a grimace.
As soon as the Persian envoy finished speaking, Jerome Bonaparte showed an unhappy expression and said coldly to Farroh Han Amin Molk: "Mr. Farroh, doing this will benefit the country and the people.
There is no need to ask your king for instructions on everything!
If you need to ask for permission for everything, then just don’t have peace talks!”
Jérôme Bonaparte's threatening remarks caused Farroh Han Amin Molk's expression to change instantly. He quickly expressed to Jérôme Bonaparte that the Yinlang Kingdom was very willing to purchase French arms.
.
"That's it!" Jérôme Bonaparte touched his chin, and his face became kind: "My suggestion is that you first buy 30,000 rifles and 100 artillery pieces to supplement your
The Praetorian Guard of the country!
Because once the peace talks are implemented, your country will inevitably suffer a certain backlash.
At this time, a well-equipped and loyal army becomes particularly important!"
"You are right!" Post agreed Rui Sheng, and then carefully asked Jerome Bonaparte the price.
Jerome Bonaparte told the Persian envoy that the price of 30,000 rifles and 100 twelve-pound Napoleon bronze cannons was approximately 15 million to 17 million francs.
After listening to Jerome Bonaparte's offer, the Persian envoy told Jerome Bonaparte that he was willing to let the Qajar dynasty purchase these, but he hoped to introduce some officers to France to train their army.
Of course, their request was not in vain. They could pay every officer who arrived in the Qajar Dynasty a monthly salary equivalent to 1.5 times their active duty salary.
If you are a general-level military commander, your salary can be 2-3 times the original salary.
"This..." After Jerome Bonaparte thought for a moment, the Post envoy replied reservedly: "I need to discuss it with the General Staff!
However, I have agreed in advance that even if I agree to your request, these officers will only arrive after you have completely ceased war with the Kingdom of Britain.
And all officers do not represent the official attitude of France!"
Farroh Khan Amin Molk showed a fleeting sense of disappointment. Originally, he wanted to introduce French forces into Persia to fill the vacuum left by the Russian Empire, thereby achieving the purpose of dynamic balance.
Now it seems that the emperor is only willing to sell arms dealers to them, and he will not care about the rest.
"Yes!" Farroh Han Amin Mork nodded in response to Jérôme Bonaparte.
Then, Jérôme Bonaparte glanced at the grandfather clock behind Faroh Han Amin Molk.
At this time, it was already fifteen minutes past the end of the fifteen minutes he said. He hurriedly said to Faroh Han Amin Molk: "Okay! It's getting late! Our conversation should end.
Got it!"
Farrokh Khan Amin Molk quickly stood up and bowed to Jerome Bonaparte again to express his gratitude.
Jérôme Bonaparte personally sent Farroh Han Amin Molk to the gate of Tuyinlery Palace and watched Farroh Han Amin Molk leave in a carriage.
Immediately afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte asked Basilio, who was following him, which room he had arranged Niel and Vaillant to. Basilio hurriedly guided Jerome Bonaparte.
.
At this moment, Minister Wayan and Chief of General Staff Niel in the room are still arguing about the improvement of the military system. However, because this is not the Ministry of War/General Staff, but the Palace of Tuyinlery, Minister Wayan and Chief of General Staff Niel are still arguing about the improvement of the military system.
Niel did not make a loud noise.
Even so, the smell of gunpowder between the two people is still strong.
The door opened slowly, Niel and Wayan quickly stood up from their chairs and aimed their gazes at the door of the room.
Entering the room, Jérôme Bonaparte looked at the Minister of War and the Chief of General Staff in the room, with a smile on his face again and said jokingly: "What happened today? The Minister of War and the Chief of General Staff visited Du Yinleli at the same time.
Palace, should I feel honored?"
Niel and Vaillant heard the sarcasm in Jérôme Bonaparte's words, and their faces showed embarrassment at the same time.
Under the gaze of Niel and Vaillant, Jérôme Bonaparte walked slowly in front of them, then brought a chair casually, sat on it, crossed his legs and asked: "Tell me! You two
Great God, what instructions do you have for coming to my small temple today?"
"Don't dare!" Niel and Vaillant responded to Jérôme Bonaparte in unison?
"Don't you dare?" Jérôme Bonaparte sneered and scolded them: "I don't think there is anything in this world that you two dare not do!
Do you want me to free up the Duyinleli Palace and let you two have a good argument, and strive to have enough and understand it?
It really doesn’t work, here!”
Jerome Bonaparte pointed to the two faces hanging on the wall, "You two can also duel with swords! Life or death will be determined by your respective skills!
You should be satisfied with this!"
Niel and Vaillant both lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. They felt deep dissatisfaction from Jérôme Bonaparte's words.
In this way, after a while, Jérôme Bonaparte asked Vaillant and Niel in a slightly tired tone: "Tell me! What are you two arguing about?"
Minister Wayan immediately revealed all the content of his quarrel with Niel.
Jerome Bonaparte listened quietly to Minister Vaillant's words, and then asked Minister Vaillant: "Vailant, so you don't agree with the reform plan jointly formulated by Chief of Staff Niel and me!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Minister Wayang insisted on his previous point of view, "The risks of the new tactical system are too great. There is no need for us to take risks!"
"Isn't it necessary?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked Minister Vaillant with a sneer, "Minister Vaillant, I would like to ask you what is necessary and what is not necessary!
It is necessary to blindly abide by the old system without carrying out reforms!"
"Your Majesty, our system has been tested by war..." Minister Vayan tried to use war as an example.
"Having been tested by war. Is fighting against those serf troops of the Russian Empire called a war test?" Jérôme Bonaparte retorted unceremoniously, "Or is fighting against those stragglers in Algeria called a war test?
Not to mention that our existing tactical system can easily defeat such an army, Britain, which has not changed its tactics for decades, can also defeat them.
Could it be said that Britain’s tactical system is on the same level as ours?”
