Published at 16th of January 2023 05:35:08 AM

After several consecutive games, lunch finally officially started around 2 pm.

Jerome Bonaparte, Vaillant, Niel, and Madame Allende entered the restaurant in turn. At the warm invitation of Minister Vaillant, Jerome Bonaparte, who was a guest, sat in the main seat. Originally, this was the position where the PR owner, Minister Wayan, could sit.

Afterwards, the butler brought another bottle of unopened wine. Judging from the body and mouth of the wine, this bottle of wine should have been taken from the wine cellar of the mansion.

The steward carefully placed the unopened wine on a small cart and used a corkscrew (the corkscrew had been invented as early as 1795) to pull out the dusty wooden corks.

The next step is to decanter the aged wine.

I saw a servant carefully carrying a decanter made of glass and came to the butler. After the butler took the servant's decanter in his hand, he picked up the unsealed wine and carefully followed the wall of the decanter to decanter. Backflow inside the device.

The red wine slowly flowed into the decanter, and when the wine in the grape bottle was less than one-tenth of the original amount, the butler stopped pouring it into the decanter, and then put the decanter with wine in the small bottle. On the cart, he picked up the wine bottle and bowed and smiled at everyone present, and then left the restaurant.

After another 5 minutes or so, the key appeared again.

At this moment, there is no wine bottle in his hand, and behind him are four three-tiered carts, each of which has two covered dishes.

The butler arrived next to Jerome Bonaparte again, and said to Jerome Bonaparte, "Your Majesty!"

"Let's get started!" Jerome Bonaparte responded sternly.

After hearing Jerome Bonaparte's answer, the servant who was in charge of pushing the trolley took the dishes out of the trolley and put them in the place of Jerome Bonaparte and others. in front of him, and then uniformly opened the meal cover that was still on top.

The first course was foie gras, a traditional French delicacy. With the aroma that kept pouring into the nose, Jérôme Bonaparte carefully wriggled his Adam's apple.

Jerome Bonaparte had not eaten for nearly half a day since the beginning of the morning.

Immediately afterwards, the second and third dishes also appeared in turn. These dishes are very traditional French cuisine, but now they are extraordinarily attractive.

After all the dishes were finished, the butler held the handle of the decanter in one hand and dragged the decanter in the other, and carefully poured the wine that had been in the decanter for nearly 10 minutes into each person's glass. .

Everyone's glass was full of a large glass of red wine. Jerome Bonaparte raised his glass and said to everyone present: "Let's toast to the prosperity of the Second Empire and the prosperity of our army!"

Minister Wayan, Chief of General Staff Niel, and Madame Allende raised the wine glasses in their hands at the same time, and Minister Wayan, who was the host, also added, "And for France to be able to have people like you, Your Majesty the Emperor, Excellent monarch! Cheers!"

"That's right!" Chief Niel also echoed, "Cheers to His Majesty the Emperor!"

Jerome Bonaparte smiled slightly, and after the four goblets collided with each other at home, they made a pleasant sound.

After Jerome Bonaparte drank the red wine in the glass, he immediately felt the fruity aroma that remained between his lips and teeth.

He turned his head and asked the steward beside him, "Which year did this wine enter the wine cellar!"

The butler's face showed a look of surprise, and then he quickly responded to Jerome Bonaparte: "Report to Your Majesty, this bottle of wine is the result of the minister (Vayant) who suffered a fake king (Louis XVIII) in the (first) empire. ) The third year after the conspiracy against the throne, the wine buried in the ground!"

Jerome Bonaparte couldn't help smacking his lips after hearing this, "So it's almost 40 years!"

"That's right!" The butler said respectfully.

"What a pity!" Jerome Bonaparte sighed and said to himself.

"Your Majesty, the wine itself is for drinking!" Minister Wayan thought that Jerome Bonaparte was regretting that 40 years of red wine was ruined, and he hurriedly responded to Jerome Bonaparte, "Only like People like you taste it to make it more meaningful and valuable!"

"No! I'm not saying it's a pity!" Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and said to Minister Wayan, "I'm a pity, it took thirty years for such a fine wine to be opened! What a pity !"

Minister Wayan instantly understood that Jerome Bonaparte was using objects to describe people, and he hurriedly responded to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, it's not a pity, it's not a pity at all!

The older the wine, the more memorable it is. "

"That's right!" Jerome Bonaparte chuckled lightly, then turned to the butler beside him and responded, "Give me another drink!"

"Yes!" The butler hurriedly poured another glass of wine for Jerome Bonaparte.

Minister Wayan and Niel also poured a glass of wine each at the same time, and then everyone clinked the glasses again.

After the two glasses of wine were over, Jerome Bonaparte rejected the butler's idea of ​​adding more wine to Jerome Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte, who put down the wine glass, picked up the knife and fork placed on the plate, carefully cut a piece of steaming foie gras, and chewed it carefully.

After swallowing the foie gras, Jerome Bonaparte showed a satisfied smile on his face, and said jokingly: "Minister Wayan, I remember you told me just now that your family has nothing to eat!

I think this foie gras is very good, and the level has almost surpassed the chef of the Tuin Leli Palace! "

"Your Majesty, you are too much!" Minister Wayan replied humbly to Jerome Bonaparte.

Mrs. Allende, who was sitting beside Minister Wayan, also spoke when she saw this, and she said enthusiastically, Jerome Bonaparte: "If your Majesty wishes, you can come to the mansion for dinner at any time!

You are welcome to the top and bottom of the mansion! "

Hearing Madame Allende's response, Jerome Bonaparte's expression became sullen, and then he casually said: "Yes!"

Minister Wayan, who was sitting on the side, gave this restless woman a fierce look, and Mrs. Allende, who knew she was wrong, had to lower her head and did not speak.

During the next half hour of the meal, Mrs. Allende did not say a word.

Jerome Bonaparte also did not say much because of Madame Alleinde's appearance.

After the banquet was over, Jerome Bonaparte, Minister Niel and Wayan came to the study room of the mansion, but the warm-hearted Madame Allende did not follow them with Jerome Bonaparte's explicit refusal. Enter.

The three people sitting on the sofa began to discuss the current military system and tactical system of the French Imperial Army.

Although Minister Wayan has agreed in his heart that the current tactical system is no longer suitable for the French army, he still has some doubts about Niel's improved skirmish line tactics.

After all, the chaos caused by skirmish line tactics was obvious to all during the First Republic.

Only in the next battle with the Kingdom of Morocco, the skirmish line tactics can prove that they are indeed excellent tactics, then he will unreservedly choose to support Niel's tactics.

Jerome Bonaparte certainly understood Minister Wayan's concerns, and he nodded in support.

Subsequently, Jerome Bonaparte discussed the issue of the breech rifle with the ministers Nier and Wayan.

Ministers Niel and Wayan believed that although the French army had a breech gun, a weapon with a faster rate of fire, it still could not neglect training. Therefore, they suggested that a threshold should be designed in the army where the target cannot be concentrated. In this case, It can effectively guarantee the hit rate of the army on the battlefield.

And Jerome Bonaparte was not too harsh on the hit rate of the breech gun.

After all, when the future war is an overall war, France's existing 550,000 troops (actually in the early 500,000s, because nearly 50,000 people have already been abolished) will expand to the original 50,000 troops at a very fast rate. times, 6 times, in this case, the original troops will be washed away, and the accuracy of shooting in this case has no meaning.

However, Jérôme Bonaparte still agreed with Niel and Vaillant.

More training on weekdays is always beneficial.

At least the soldiers in the army are not allowed to do nothing. In addition to getting drunk all day, the army that has nothing to do has to find custom practitioners to experience the joy of life.

The world has not yet provided the pleasure of the military.

Thinking of this, Jerome Bonaparte once again opened his mouth to make a suggestion to Niel and Wayan: Every military region should have regular exchanges and competitions, so as to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army!

Nierre and Wayan also agreed with Jérôme Bonaparte.

At the same time, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Jerome Bonaparte also proposed to set up a gendarmerie in the military to manage military discipline, which is mainly responsible for inspecting the discipline of legal military areas.

Ministers Niel and Wayan objected to this proposal, arguing that the gendarmerie was not conducive to unity within the army.

Jérôme Bonaparte certainly knew that their so-called image army unity was nothing but empty talk. They were simply afraid that the gendarmerie that appeared would become a terrorist organization that would overpower them.

I think that the military police in the Napoleonic Empire was in charge of the famous Fouche, who secretly monitored everyone in the army like a poisonous snake.

Of course, including the original Emperor Napoleon,

So Jérôme Bonaparte immediately told Niel and Vaillant that the command of the gendarmerie in charge of discipline was subordinate to the French General Staff, and they took over the orders of the General Staff and the headquarters of the War Department and above.

Niel and Wayan reluctantly agreed to Jerome Bonaparte's suggestion.
