"Long live!" Thunderous cheers sounded from the flagship deck, followed by the other three warships cheering like a frying pan.
This is outside the Bay of Biscay, and has gradually entered the route deep into the Atlantic Ocean. The long fleet has driven countless merchant ships in front of it. All merchant ships have to take detours and retreat under the threat of cannons.
No ship can approach the core area of this huge fleet, which means that the area where the French warships are located cannot be spied on by anyone.
Even if they encounter some fishing boats on the sea, they can only spy on the warning destroyers on the periphery. They have no idea what is going on inside.
On the vast sea, there is no fear of any leaks, so these French soldiers can just cheer!
Prince Eugene looked at the fanatical faces on the deck. He knew what these people needed. He raised his hand and said loudly, "People of the empire! I solemnly promise to you that this time I defeated the abominable Chinese, the abominable Chinese." After Xiao Letian, I will definitely take you back to Paris!"
"At that time, I will give your naval force the honor of being the first to enter Paris!"
"I swear here to Emperor Napoleon! As long as you fight bravely, everyone's achievements will not be erased, and most of you will be promoted to French nobility!"
"Don't be afraid even if you die in battle! I guarantee you that your families and relatives will be properly taken care of, and your descendants will have priority in getting the best education and entering the best military academies!"
"They will enter the glorious ranks of the Old Guard! Your navy will be the most loyal Guards of the Third Reich, and each of you will be an Old Guard of the Empire!"
"The navy will definitely become the sharp sword of the empire and the sharp blade in the hands of the emperor!"
"Go to the east! Capture Xiao Letian's treasure house... I promise you that we will plunder the palace in the east again, and all of Xiao Letian's treasures will be your trophies!"
"Great French warrior! Avenge! Avenge! Avenge..."
"Take back all the treasures in the Louvre that were stolen by the Chinese! Bring back our Mona Lisa, bring back our goddess of victory!"
"Avenge! Revenge! Avenge... revenge..."
Four battleships and a total of nearly 8,000 French officers and soldiers were going crazy at this moment. The bright road to promotion, wealth and title was unfolding in front of them.
Moreover, it is also mixed with the anger of national pride and revenge, and the air at this time is full of excitement!
The British fleet also felt faintly uneasy. General Fisher, Staff Officer George and others rushed out. It was already two o'clock in the morning. No one expected that the French would go crazy at this time!
"What's going on? What's going on? What are the French doing in the middle of the night?"
"They are cheering for the establishment of the Third Reich. Crown Prince Eugene doesn't want to wait a day longer. He has announced the restoration of the empire, and eight thousand naval soldiers have already pledged their allegiance to him!"
George took a long drag on the cigarette, and the light from the cigarette butt illuminated his face with uncertainty. "Damn it! Can't you wait? Can't you wait until the war is won?"
"What do our soldiers think when these French people do this? The Bonaparte family doesn't understand any rules. I hate them!"
What's the use of George hating it? The French just like it. At 2:30 in the morning, the French fleet suddenly turned the muzzle of the secondary battery, which frightened the surrounding British fleet and sent out light signals to ask.
The French warship had no time to respond. After a while, the sound of cannons rang out on the sea!
Boom...boom...boom...
After hearing the relatively hollow sound, the British officers and soldiers, who were sweating all over, realized that the French were celebrating with a salute!
"The French are really crazy, really crazy..." The British officers all frowned, while many British soldiers looked confused or even numb.
The level of compulsory education in the UK is not high, and the soldiers' minds are empty. The navy is slightly better, but they cannot understand the madness of the French.
Some soldiers gathered together to smoke cigarettes and asked in confusion, "The Napoleon family has been restored again, and a young man has become the emperor. Why are these soldiers so excited?"
"It's just that they are not our Queen of England. They have been passed down for thousands of years... They are just a family of defeated generals who came halfway. How can you indoctrinate them into this? They are like madmen..."
Some officers heard the soldiers' remarks and moved their mouths to tell them that half of the French soldiers were actually cheering for the empire, while the other half was cheering for their own change of destiny!
These first batch of French sailors who supported Prince Eugène will have more political privileges in the future!
They will receive more military pay, more benefits, and even knighthoods! These are children from ordinary civilian families. Their ancestors have not encountered such an opportunity for thousands of years. Now that they have encountered it, how can they not go crazy!
Look at these British soldiers again. They are indeed in the most golden age, but what good do they do?
It's just that the military pay is higher and they are more proud when walking on the road, but all their military exploits in the north and south cannot be exchanged for anything.
There may be a little reward, but the ones who can really benefit are the descendants of the nobles and big capitalists!
Fisher and Staff Officer George are the ones who share the fruits of victory!
All officers understand this, but no one will tell these soldiers, because even middle-level officers in the fleet cannot get this opportunity to improve their class.
Only captains of that level or higher can share these honors.
"Ahem... don't talk about these French people anymore. Their affairs have nothing to do with us. The preparations will be done soon!"
Looking at these busy sailors, the officer said with regret, "What does this prosperous age have to do with you?"
After a sleepless night, Prince Eugène calmly looked at the British flagship Queen. The light signal from France has been sent, and the football has been kicked to Fisher's feet. Now it depends on what you, the British, are going to do!
"Fisher, if you refuse to recognize my status, it means that Britain has no sincerity in forming an alliance with France, so it's okay not to participate in this war!"
Fisher was staring at the French flagship with red eyes at this moment. Of course he knew what Prince Eugene meant, but how could he make this decision?
Although Benjamin made a verbal promise, after the war was over, he would support the restoration of Crown Prince Eugene to the throne!
But Fisher knew very well that all this was a delaying tactic. They just wanted to use Eugene's influence to send troops in exchange for the support of the French royalists!
Once it defeated the Chinese, the British Empire would regret it. How could Benjamin really promise the restoration of the Bonaparte family?
But the current situation has been blocked by Prince Eugène, and he is already in trouble!
"Damn! This Bonaparte family is really difficult to deal with. I didn't expect this young man to be so non-aggressive!"
