Ma Wei glanced at Maria behind him, a little confused.
Does Maria care too much about Freya?
Do they have a personal relationship?
Or...
Is this Maria also a demon?
It should be so. Since the Ancient God forces have planted the four supreme demons in London, there is no reason to let Paris go!
Let’s go back and test it with a real pocket watch…
While thinking, the soldier stopped in front of a door at the end of the corridor, knocked lightly, and then pushed it open.
The door, painted with red paint and engraved with exquisite patterns, opens to both sides. The first thing that catches the eye is twelve white jade stone pillars engraved with text. On the raised platform in the center, there is a painted red coffin. The walls
The candles burning above lit up the room like a tomb.
Inside the twelve white jade stone pillars, stood a man wearing a blue military uniform and a boat-shaped military cap. The man had his hands behind his back and his back to the door. He was looking at the map on the wall when he heard the sound of the door opening behind him.
, he slowly turned around.
He has dark brown hair, a slightly fat face, a broad nose, and a pair of jewel-like green eyes.
If Ma Wei hadn't known who the man in front of him was, he might have thought he was a butcher selling meat on the street. Of course, this was just a subjective assumption based on his appearance. In fact, the aura of the man in front of him cannot be ignored, especially
The ambition in his eyes was overwhelming.
Napoleon Bonaparte!
A big figure in history who cannot be ignored!
"More than half a century ago, I became the garrison commander of the Paris Military District. I was 26 years old that year."
Napoleon walked onto the stone platform with his hands behind his back and turned to look at the twelve white jade stone pillars engraved with his achievements: "I suppressed the armed rebellion of the royalist forces, was promoted to Army Brigadier General, officially entered the military and political circles, and at the same time protected
I reaped the fruits of the revolution and put the Popon Kingdom on the road to republicanism. Unfortunately... due to my wrong judgment, I lost 200,000 elites in the Romanov Kingdom and fell short of success."
"Four years ago, Royal Navy Lieutenant Mavie Enders resigned from the military and established the Church of Truth. Three years later, the Church of Truth became the state religion of the Romanov Kingdom, and Mavie Enders ascended the throne and became the Pope. That year,
He is 26 years old."
"Last year, a Frederick went to the Kingdom of Windsor and became a potion dealer appointed by the Church of Destiny. His name was Nicholas von Manstein. That year, he was also 26 years old."
Napoleon took a deep breath and said with emotion: "Sometimes I think that 26 is really a special age. I showed my prominence at the age of 26 and laid the foundation for my future. Some people also made amazing things at the age of 26.
Deeds... Mr. Nicholas, welcome to Paris, I hope my soldiers have not been rude to you."
Mawei took off his hat, put it on his chest and bowed to Napoleon: "Your Majesty, your soldiers have not done anything disrespectful to me."
Napoleon nodded slightly, signaled the soldiers in the room to retreat, and asked the maid to bring a plate of cream pastries, saying: "This is a pastry I asked the palace chef to make. They call it Napoleon cake. I heard your daughter likes to eat it."
I have tasted many delicious snacks, and I want her to try them and give some suggestions, and so do you, Mr. Nicholas."
When she heard that there was a snack to be eaten, Yunia's eyes suddenly lit up as she was feeling a little bored. She looked at her father, and after receiving his consent, she couldn't wait to pick up a piece and stuff it into her mouth.
Ma Wei also tasted a piece. The so-called Napoleon cake is actually a kind of mille-feuille pastry with squeezed cream. Compared with the sweet and greasy macarons of the Windsor Kingdom, the taste is lighter and is suitable for pairing with coffee or black tea.
The palace master's craftsmanship was good, Ma Wei thought it was good, but...
Obviously, the plate of cakes that Napoleon brought was not to ask him how the cake tasted, but to ask him what he thought of Bonaparte's First Empire in the name of cake.
"The process is very complicated, butter, cream, eggs... a lot of condiments are added. Everyone says that the food in your country is delicious. The top ten restaurants in London are all Parisian cuisine. Now it seems really good."
"Are you satisfied?"
"Although there are some shortcomings, I think it's not harmful."
"What's missing?"
"Although this dessert is called Napoleon Cake, it doesn't contain any of your Majesty's elements."
Ma Wei said: "Apart from the fact that this snack is named after you, it has almost nothing to do with you. The taste is average, not unpalatable, but other kingdoms also have delicious snacks. There are many choices, but they are not outstanding enough."
How to attract customers with its advantages?”
Napoleon nodded and said thoughtfully: "What if the snacks are made by me? Are they competitive enough?"
"Oh, I don't think there is anyone who doesn't want to taste the pastries made by the famous Napoleon." Ma Wei spread his hands: "But you have so many things to do, how can you have extra time? What you are good at is leading troops to fight, governing the country, and talking about it.
I'm afraid I'm not familiar with making pastries."
"Don't you think I'm a good pastry chef?"
"Half a century ago, your skill in making pastries was unparalleled. But now, so long ago, the team that prepared the ingredients for you has long disappeared. No one cares about the farmland with only one ear of wheat. You must know that weeds are the only thing that affects crops.
One of the biggest factors in yield.”
"Is this why you chose the Kingdom of Windsor?"
"You can understand it this way."
Napoleon continued arguing about the pastries, but walked over to the map hanging on the wall and said, "What do you see on this map?"
Ma Wei looked closely and found that it was an ordinary world map. There were no labels, no kingdoms, and no boundaries. It only drew mountains, rivers, basins, and peaks.
The map was engraved on the wall. Napoleon failed to conquer the world and suffered heavy losses in the Romanov Kingdom, which resulted in his complete defeat. Such a map without national boundaries may be what he wanted to see the most.

Hearing Mavey's answer, Napoleon smiled: "Yes, ambition...During the years when I was sleeping, the world has undergone earth-shaking changes. The Kingdom of Frederick is annexing the former Laihin Alliance, trying to complete
Unification; the Romanov Kingdom carried out a revolution and embarked on the road to becoming a powerful country; the same is true for the United States of America. When the Civil War broke out, the outcome must be unification."
Marvey thought Napoleon would be frustrated that he missed the opportunity to unify, but Napoleon said: "It is a blessing to have so many powerful opponents..."
"A blessing?"
"That's right." Napoleon looked at the map and said calmly: "A person's time is too lonely. Even if I pick the fruits of victory, I still feel dull and boring. The more opponents there are, the stronger my desire for victory will be...
.”
"Your Majesty, are you not afraid of failure again?"
"I have failed twice." Napoleon said: "I am not afraid of failure. What can't kill me will only make me stronger. A truly strong man will never be discouraged. As long as there is still breath, there will be no hope of victory.
Extinguish."
What terrible confidence!
What appeared in Napoleon was not arrogance or arrogance, but true self-confidence!
He believed in himself, the land beneath his feet, and the people living on this land. Even death could not make him bow his head!
No wonder so many people are willing to follow him and stand next to Napoleon. Whether they are friends or foes, they will unconsciously straighten their backs and be infected by his aura.
You will be excited about the strength of your opponent. In addition to Napoleon, Mavey has also met one person - Katerina!
When she heard that Napoleon and Caesar were resurrected, Katerina said that she would defeat these two opponents who had left a mark on history and make Romanov's name resound throughout the world!
"If a war breaks out in the United States of America, there must be some shadow of the Kingdom of Windsor in it. Rhodes IV did the right thing. The United States of Citi has a unique geographical location. Once they are allowed to develop, it will be difficult to control them."
Napoleon did not seem to regard Mavey as an outsider, and said without hesitation: "Mr. Nicholas, do you know that the United States of America has invented a new type of weapon?"
Ma Wei said frankly: "I haven't paid attention to Citi United's affairs recently."
"Well, come with me."
Napoleon walked in front with his hands behind his back. Mavie took Junia and Maria closely behind. Soon they came to the next room. The huge room was like a weapons arsenal, filled with weapons from all countries.
"Last year, the Romanov Kingdom shocked the world by using a repeating rifle called Edward 1 on the battlefield."
Napoleon walked to a glass cabinet, took out a brand-new Napoleon No. 1 rifle, took apart the magazine and played with it: "The Edward No. 1 rifle can be filled with 5 bullets at a time, and it uses breech-loading ammunition that I have never seen before.
, the accuracy is far superior to the Dresser bolt-action rifle equipped by the Kingdom of Windsor. Officially because of the large number of equipped with this rifle, Katerina was able to lead the army to quickly defeat the Kingdom of Windsor and attack the royal capital of Petersburg first."
Putting the Napoleon I rifle back into the glass cabinet, Napoleon walked to the next glass cabinet. Inside was a firearm mounted on a two-wheeled vehicle: "Less than three months after the Edward I rifle appeared, the United States of Citi developed it.
A rotating barrel machine gun was developed, which has a faster rate of fire and also uses breech-loading ammunition.”
"Not long ago, I heard that the Northern Army of the United States of America began to equip a large number of new weapons called Martini rifles, which are more advanced than the Edward No. 1 rifle, so I spent a lot of money to buy one..."
As he spoke, Napoleon opened the glass display case and took out a one-meter-long rifle. During the demonstration, just by pulling the wrench under the trigger, the cartridge case could be quickly ejected for a second shot.
"The emergence of breech-loading ammunition has changed the original pattern of firearms. I have a hunch that in the near future, all the muzzle-loading muskets we use now will be outdated and eliminated by the times."
Napoleon played with the Martini rifle in his hand and said: "This gun was invented by the United States of America. The shooting speed is as fast as the user's hand speed. Compared with the Edward No. 1 rifle that needs to control the shooting rhythm, the Martini rifle is more stable."
, has a faster rate of fire and is easier to maintain... How terrifying that in less than a year, the United States of America has developed such an advanced weapon."
"Your Majesty, this is the age of magic, and firearms are of little use," Maria said.
"Is it really useless?" Napoleon narrowed his eyes and said: "The emergence of breech-loading ammunition has resulted in the appearance of bullets with metal shells and standardized warheads. If we carve a magic circle on the warhead and fire while activating it, we can
Can’t we extend the range of some magic?”
In Ma Wei's somewhat shocked eyes, Napoleon continued: "For example, corruption magic can make an item rot quickly. If we engrave corruption magic on the warhead and launch it, can we kill with one hit or destroy the building?
Effect?"
"Putting aside these factors, with the updating and iteration of weapons, the tactics I used before can no longer be used. Now using line formations on the battlefield is a living target. The enemy will fire a salvo and we will be finished. And
The cavalry will also withdraw from the stage of history..."
Napoleon looked at Mavey: "I heard that the Kingdom of Frederick is secretly developing this new weapon. According to the intelligence I collected, they seem to be planning to use airships to drop explosives to the ground, and are also planning to use rear-loading ammunition on artillery.
When I heard about this, I felt that Frederick’s Kingdom was a bunch of lunatics, but when I thought about it more carefully, I thought they were geniuses!”
Ma Wei suddenly realized that he was not the only smart person in the world.
When new weapons, such as revolutionary breech-loading ammunition, appear, countries all over the world will conduct research, improve them, and invent various firearms. Scientists’ fantastic ideas are absolutely unconstrained. Whatever you can think of, others can think of, too.
.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Especially in an era when all countries have spies from other countries, how can it be so easy to secretly develop weapons and equip the army on a large scale?
As long as a little bit of news is leaked, other countries will catch up with your research progress within half a year!
For example, could he imagine how magic could revolutionize modern firearms, but others couldn't?
Frederick's Kingdom has already begun research...
The Romanov Kingdom, with its backward scientific research and technology, found it difficult to catch up with these countries. It could only make a desperate effort to develop education and move forward desperately.
If you fall behind, you will be beaten. This is definitely a truth that remains unchanged for thousands of years!
"In addition to the firearms revolution, there is another new thing that will have a huge impact on the future - magic medicine."
Napoleon put the Martini rifle back in the display case and got down to business: "Magic and potions complement each other. Some things that magic cannot do, potions can do. Potions with magical effects can even bring people back to life.
"
"For the church, potions are a powerful weapon. Whoever can control the potions will have absolute say in the church..."
"Mr. Nicholas, as a potion dealer of the Church of Destiny, you have already tasted the sweetness, right?"
Ma Wei looked into Napoleon's dark green eyes and said slowly: "The potion has indeed brought me status and benefits, and the church also values me very much."
"Do you want to go to the next level?"
"I don't understand what you mean, Your Majesty."
"The strength of Bonaparte's First Empire is not weaker than that of the Kingdom of Windsor, and Anatole is good at creation. In time, glory will surely return to Paris... Nicholas, now is a good time for you to abandon the darkness and turn to the light."
