Chapter 122: , Changes in Paris

The trial voyage of the "Black Pearl" was very successful, and in the following period of time, they conducted more trial voyages on the ship. However, the revolutionary situation did not allow them to proceed step by step. As soon as the National Salvation Committee got the news of initial success, it immediately requested that this ship be transferred to mass production.
So less than half a month after the maiden voyage was completed, the relevant drawings of this kind of ship were sent to several naval shipyards, and rapid production began.
As for the "Black Pearl" experimental ship, it was also sent out for actual combat drills to go to Spain to smuggle caustic.
In fact, the "Black Pearl" is a bit excessive in terms of speed performance, and its insufficient volume has also led to its insufficient efficiency. So Joseph turned the focus of his work to further adjustments to this type of ship at this time. Achieve relatively balanced performance.
Time passed so quickly, and spring came in a blink of an eye. On the day of Bud Moon Fatong Day, Joseph received a special guest-Joseph Fouché. As a special commissioner, Fouché has the right to come to the Naval Research Institute to discuss related matters with Joseph. In fact, Fouché's cooperation is needed for all the naval research, and Fouché has indeed helped Joseph a lot in many aspects.
Fouché came this time to tell Joseph that he had received an order to return to Paris to report to the National Assembly. At the same time, he also told Joseph that some political changes had taken place in Paris recently-Ebel and others conspired to restore and were arrested by the Revolutionary Court. After a quick trial, dozens of people including Ebel and Chaumet They were all sent to the guillotine.
Of course, Joseph knew that these are so-called official statements by Foucher. It is possible to say that Ebel and the others did anything else, but it would be a complete joke to say that Ebel and the others were plotting to restore the feudal monarchy. If Robespierre once supported a constitutional monarchy, and even said "what is the republic", then Ebel, who inherited Mara, was the most resolute opponent of the monarchy from beginning to end.
Fouché knew that he had always been regarded as an accomplice of Ebel. Now that Ebel’s party has become a chaotic party and he is called back, there will probably be no good things. So he came to Joseph and tried to get some support from him.
"Mr. Bonaparte, your brothers know me very well and know my loyalty to the Republic. But the current situation is so puzzling, and all kinds of rumors are frightening. I know that General Kano is a stable situation. People, but he seems to have always had some prejudice against me. Well, of course, it’s just because I did something extreme in the past... But I still hope to have the opportunity to meet with General Kano and explain to him."
Joseph also felt very embarrassed to face this request. He knows that the reign of terror is trending now, and if it intervenes at this time, it may be very dangerous; but he also knows that this also heralds the end. If there is no action at this time, then after the terror is over, the fruit cannot be shared. The action at this time may be to pick chestnuts from the fire, or the action at this time to go down the mountain to pick peaches.
Joseph's previous life was not good enough, but he still remembers a little bit about the French Revolution. It seems that when mentioning the downfall of Robespierre, the history books say so. Within the Jacobins, the struggle between the left and the right is very fierce, while Robespierre has both left and right. The suppression resulted in damage to the foundation of one's own rule and the collapse of the regime.
At that time, Joseph was completely rote memorizing when he memorized this paragraph, so as to cope with the exam. But now, looking back, and comparing it to today's reality, he felt that the context seemed to be clear all at once.
"The leftist within Jacobin, of course, refers to Ebel, the right, except for Dandong, it is Kano. It seems that Robespierre has acted on Ebel first. Then it is Dandong's turn. Well, Ka Nuo is also a rightist, but considering that the Kano of the Kano cycle I was more familiar with in my previous life has not yet been born (Sadi Kano was born in 1796), Kano will definitely not have a problem. As for Fouché..."
Joseph didn't know what kind of character this man would be in the future, but Joseph knew that this man was a very capable person, and he was definitely worthy of winning.
"Mr. Fouché, you know, in my special situation now, I can't write casually."
Fouché showed a disappointed look, but he didn't say anything. He just nodded. He saw too much about the people pushing the wall down. Besides, the relationship between Joseph and him is only recognition.
"But it happened that Kano had a mathematical problem and discussed it with me. I suddenly had a new idea not long ago, and I wrote it out. If you happen to be going to Paris, then I hope you can bring him to Kano General."
Fouché also stood up. There was no one around, so he simply grabbed Joseph's hand and said, "General Bonaparte, thank you, thank you, you, such a good person, will surely be blessed by God. "
Fouché knew that this last sentence was very politically incorrect in this era. Christianity is being knocked down to the ground. Robespierre is engaging in some of his rationalism, dragging the icon of Christ out of the church and burning it, and then replacing it with worship of "reason" and great historical men. It is very incorrect to say "God bless" at this time.
But Foucher knew that Joseph's relationship with the church was actually quite close, and the Bonaparte family had never made any remarks against the church. He ventured out this sentence in order to gain their trust further.
"No need, Commissioner Fouché. Actually, I also want to ask you for a personal matter. I have a friend named Amon, um, Amon Lavoisier. This man is a fool, but he is also my friend. If possible, I hope you can help me take care of him."
Of course Fouché agreed, at least on the surface, he left with gratitude on the surface. However, the more Joseph thought, the more scared, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't sleep, so he just got up, lit a candle, and began to further improve his back road design.
Joseph's back road design is also a boat. This is a design called a "high-speed communication ship". On the surface, it is intended to transmit important command messages, especially to overseas colonies. But in fact, Joseph designed it for another purpose-once the situation is really not right, he and his family will get on this boat and escape. In this world, no boat can catch up with this. Ship, not even "Black Pearl".
So the design of this boat is completely different from the previous "Black Pearl"-this is a catamaran.
There is a torpedo-shaped pontoon under each hull of this ship. Both pontoons are completely submerged in water. They are connected to the hull above by a few solid wood masts. This makes the water line of this boat very small. In fact, most of the resistance when a ship moves in the water comes from the shock wave caused when the ship breaks open the water. These shock waves consume a lot of energy from the ship. Even if a ship with a small water surface line like this is fast, because the area of ​​the water surface line is small and the surface area on the water surface is smaller, the waves it raises will be much smaller and the energy consumed will be much smaller. This will show that the resistance will be much smaller. So it can run faster than "Black Pearl".
The double-body structure also makes the ship’s stability, seaworthiness, and comfort better than the "Black Pearl". If you want to talk about the shortcomings, it has high requirements for materials, difficult manufacturing, and Not much.
"But what's the use? Like the king's twelve-horsepower carriage? Running fast is the most important thing, okay." Joseph thought.
After leaving Joseph, Fouché set foot on the road to Paris early the next morning. On the way, he analyzed the situation carefully. First of all, he felt that Robespierre would probably not let him go, but now Ebel and the others are dead, and they are isolated and helpless. Although Kano has a position, no one will easily move him, but Kano's own party members Not much, at least, not much in politics. Maybe now I can only find the way to Dandong.
Fouché had offended Dandong before, and more than once. In politics, he had always stood on the opposite side of Dandong. But Dandong is a very sensible person who can make his reason overcome his emotions. Fouché believed that Dandong would not fail to see the dangers he faced.
"Maybe it is better to find a relationship with Dandong and Desmoulins. Of course, it is also necessary to repair the relationship with Kano." Foucher thought about this, and suddenly thought of Joseph Bonner. Ba mentioned the friend named "Amon" to him. Fouché actually knew something about this person.
"Amon Lavoisier has a good relationship with Desmoulins. Desmoulins is Dandong's best friend. If you contact him, it would be a good way." Sitting on the carriage, Fouché thought.
Just when Fouché was thinking about how to establish a relationship with Dandong and how to join Dandong's team. UU reading www. uukanshu.com Dandong was also just woken up from bed.
"Mr. Dandong, run away!" the man who woke him yelled to him, "Mr. Demoulin, and some other people have been arrested! Robespierre, Robespierre, And St. Just and the others, do it to us! You run quickly, I have prepared a horse for you, run quickly!"
Dandong was taken aback, but he soon calmed down. At least, it calmed down on the surface.
"Demulan was arrested?" Dandong asked.
"Yes, with his wife." The man replied, and then he urged, "Run, Mr. Dandong! If you don't run, it will be too late!"
"Run?" Dandong smiled suddenly, "How to run? Escape to another world like Condorcet, or escape to another country like Talleyrand? Can I still stick my motherland under my shoes? Go? No, I won't go."
"You will be beheaded!"
"Then let them chop it off. I think my head is actually worth a look at."
