At that time, battleships did not have a telephone system. Communication within the battleship relied on rows of copper pipes, and the pipes in the command cabin were the densest.
When you need to issue an order to a certain cabin, just open the lid and speak, and the sound will travel far along the pipe.
At this moment, the covers of these dense communication pipes were actually open. The navy generals may not have noticed, or they may have consciously avoided looking.
The result was that Prince Eugene's speech was broadcast live on the flagship, and 70% of the sailors heard the prince's impassioned speech.
The French people have very complicated feelings towards the Bonaparte family. On the one hand, they know that war will kill people, cost money, and reduce the quality of life.
But on the other hand, the proud nationalism still encourages them to desire war in their hearts!
The French Empire! That was a powerful empire that once unified Europe. France was just a little short of defeating Britain and becoming the most powerful country in the world!
Who doesn’t long for France like that? And all of this was brought about by Bonaparte. He is the pride of France and the embodiment of the passionate military spirit in the hearts of the people!
People's thinking is often not too complicated. It is difficult for people with low education to analyze overly complicated politics and diplomacy. They need someone to tell them the answers!
And each people's inner acceptance of a certain answer is actually closely connected with their inner desires!
To put it bluntly, wherever your butt is sitting, you have to think about the problem!
Businessmen have to think about making money, workers have to think about salary, housewives have to care about the price of bread, but what about soldiers? They think about the problem more realistically, that is victory!
It’s not just an emotional issue, it’s also an issue of status improvement! The Bonaparte family has opened a channel for France's passionate young people to join the army and improve their class!
This is something that has never happened in Europe since the Middle Ages! A soldier can change his life through military exploits without being promoted to a knight.
As long as you work hard in the war, you will have generous military pay and a pension after retirement. That money will be enough for you to settle down and start a business in your hometown!
If you have made great achievements and know a few words by the way, then you are very likely to be promoted to an officer!
You know Napoleon is the emperor! He has the right to be canonized as a noble. A child from a poor family has no network. As long as he has military exploits and some culture, the Bonaparte family will give him a noble title!
Why did Napoleon sweep across Europe, and why were all French soldiers so loyal to him?
Because at that time, only the Bonaparte family in France had done this. They used the military system to give children from poor families the opportunity to improve their class!
Yes, there is only one chance, not 100%, but how rare is this chance?
This opportunity is enough for those passionate French young people to gamble with their lives! Because at that time, no country had such an opportunity, only France had it!
The power of the nationalist upsurge triggered by the Revolution promoted Napoleon's cause and put France's human rights movement at the forefront of the times!
Hope, what these soldiers bet on is a hope, and today Crown Prince Eugene, the legal heir of the Bonaparte family, once again gave everyone hope!
Defeat Xiao Letian, return to France with the glory of victory, restore the empire after the throne, and finally defeat Prussia and Germany for revenge!
Of course, a lot of blood will be shed along the way, but after the blood dries up, the brave and lucky ones will get the most generous rewards, which is the promotion of title and status!
Not only that, Prince Eugene also told these soldiers how France lost, and his theory of bread was so easy to understand.
These soldiers all understand it. Navy soldiers are somewhat literate. The army may not understand it, but all navy soldiers can understand it!
The crowd is excited! These soldiers were afraid that the commander would make a wrong decision, so they rushed to the command room with their rifles in hand!
War advice! These hot-blooded sailors want remonstrance! They want to arm themselves to help the prince seize power!
The cabin passage was crowded with soldiers, hundreds of them densely packed, with rifles lined up like a forest!
There are soldiers at the end of all communication pipes crowding around to listen to the speeches in the captain's room. There is only one voice among the thousands of soldiers in the entire flagship at this moment!
"Glory to France! Glory to Bonaparte!"
"The Empire is restored! The Empire is restored! The Empire is restored..."
The sound shook the entire flagship, and the accompanying British warships seemed to feel the restlessness of the French. Fisher looked at the direction of the French warships. Although he could not hear the roar, he had a vague feeling in his heart. .
"Have you started? Hey... the French! We really can't let them have an emperor. This nation is too united and it's not good. After the centralization of power is formed, it will be too scary..."
"There is no other way this time. If we unite with France and act together, we can also increase our chances of winning!"
"But once the war is over, after we return home victorious... we still have to destroy the French Empire as soon as possible, and we cannot let their restoration succeed!"
"The Bonaparte family's cohesion to the French nation is too strong! Let these French people engage in romance and art!"
"It's better to break up things like military souls!"
Fisher threw the cigarette into the sea, turned back to the cabin and continued to calculate the charts, and the French flagship had also successfully recovered at this moment.
The commanders of the four battleships had no choice, or in other words, they wanted to be restored!
Victory, glory, revenge and the chance to upgrade your title! Everyone has received great favor from the Bonaparte family. Now that the prince is here, what else can he say?
"Swear loyalty to the Bonaparte family to the death! Long live the Empire! Restoration of the Empire..."
All commanders stood at attention and saluted the prince, followed by cheers from all the soldiers in the flagship!
After a while, all the officers and soldiers of the four battleships knew the good news. There was no objection at all, and excited cheers rang out across the Atlantic Ocean.
Now the British fleet heard it, and several warships approaching the French fleet were the first to hear these cheers!
"Oh! God! What are the French cheering for... Restoration? Restoration of the Empire?"
"Could it be that...my God, it turned out that the group of men in black who secretly boarded the French fleet before..."
"Is it...the royal family of France? Is it Prince Eugene?"
"Will the Bonaparte family really never be defeated? It's too scary..."
Amidst cheers, Crown Prince Eugene opened the box he brought and took out the family's most precious two-cornered hat, also called the quark hat!
But this kind of hat now only has one name in Europe, and that is the Napoleon hat!
The most noble hat that my uncle Napoleon ever wore!
Crown Prince Eugene put on the Napoleon hat respectfully and strode out of the command cabin!
In the passage, the sailors' eyes filled with excitement. They squeezed out a passage to let their emperor pass!
When Eugène Bonaparte stood under the main gun on the deck, the deck was already crowded with French soldiers, and the decks of the four battleships were all French sailors.
There were also many soldiers on the deck of the British warship in the distance!
Eugène stood on the high shell box, waved his arms and shouted to the soldiers, "I declare! The French Third Reich... will be established at this moment!"
