Napoleon II Reborn Chapter 218

(The first chapter, there is another chapter today, it may be a little late. In fact, Xiaoyu uploaded it at one o'clock last night, but due to Xiaoyu's carelessness, he forgot to post it. I only found it this afternoon. I am very sorry, please everyone forgive!)

The British Royal Navy stumbled in Iberia, which soon spread throughout Europe and the world, causing a great shock, and those countries that were not on the right track with Britain were even more joyful and celebrated , as if their country had won. Among them, France is particularly outstanding. In any case, although Iberia is now in fact independent, it is still a vassal state of France in name, and Xiao Jie is also the crown prince of the French Empire. Therefore, Napoleon unceremoniously included this victory in Iberia into his great achievements, and ordered the whole country to celebrate. After all, he and his empire have carried a lot in the hands of Britain for so many years. somersault. In addition, Napoleon also expressed great interest in the "Iberia" class warships produced by the Valencia Shipyard, and sent a special envoy to Madrid, hoping to order a batch of warships. But Xiao Jie tactfully rejected Napoleon's request, because the output of the Valencia shipyard is limited now, and it is too late to equip the Iberian navy, so there are no extra warships for sale. Another reason is that Xiao Jie expressed great concern about France's current finances. After Napoleon got married again, he did not stop the pace of military expansion and preparations, even faster than before. The current 14 legions of France (excluding The Imperial Guard Corps and the Imperial Guard) are fully staffed and are training intensively. Weapons and ammunition are also in reserve. The war is very likely to break out again, but it is hard to know who the opponent is now. Napoleon stepped up preparations for the war, of course he needed a lot of funds, but France's finances have long been unable to make ends meet, so he increased taxes one after another, making the people miserable, and a large number of businessmen fled to Iberia. Iberian commerce further developed. Of course, Xiao Jie also made a lot of money from Napoleon's series of measures, and all the weapons sold to the French army were required to be purchased in cash. Xiao Jie was unwilling to sell the battleship to Napoleon because he was afraid that he would not have the money to pay the bill. Another very important reason for this is that Napoleon's new wife, Marie Louise, the new queen of the French Empire, is pregnant, which will seriously threaten Xiao Jie's status. It will be lost soon, and Iberia and France are likely to embark on the road of hostility. Of course, he cannot buy weapons for his future 'enemies'. Of course, Xiao Jie's actions also angered Napoleon. He thought that Xiao Jie had grown up now, his wings were hardened, and he was disobedient. But considering that Mary? Louise was just pregnant, she didn't know whether she was pregnant with a boy or a girl. If it was a boy, it would be fine, but if it was a girl, the situation would be a bit bad. He believes that most members of the family, most of his subordinates and people will not accept the rule of a queen like Britain. So even though he was very angry, he didn't say anything, and everything just waited for the result of Mary?;Louise's final delivery.
