Chapter 378: ,Cooperation

"What's the matter?" Berdon asked, opening his eyes.
"You have to propose to me as soon as possible. Well, I pretend to disagree first; then you propose again, well, then I reluctantly agree." Polina said solemnly.
"Huh?" Berdon was taken aback. Of course, in theory, being able to marry a girl surnamed Bonaparte is definitely a profit in France today. This is true both politically and economically. Especially Polina, Berdon knows that Polina is different from the other girls in Bonaparte’s family. Politically speaking, Polina has considerable political resources. This political resource does not refer to her alone. She is the most favored daughter of the Bonaparte family, and it is also said that she actually controls part of the political resources in her hands.
Polina controls several fashion magazines and literary publications. In a sense, she controls the direction of avant-garde fashion. And by using the literary magazine in her hands, she also played a very important role in constructing French ideology.
In addition, these magazines, as well as her fashion and cosmetics can also bring her a lot of income. In terms of income alone, she is also one of the richest women in Europe. To be able to marry a wife like Polina, in an economic sense, is to marry a gold mine and go home. What's more, there are all kinds of political assistance.
Of course, some of Polina's habits are really not good, marrying such a lady, there will definitely be a green prairie on top of her head. But in France, isn't it normal? Even King Louis XVI back then had a lot of green on his head. This matter can even be said to be my France, no, it should even be said to be the glorious tradition of my Greater Rome. Because the Roman Empire is no less than France in this respect. This also fully proved one point, that is, the Roman orthodoxy is in France.
Therefore, this habit is actually nothing. It's really nothing.
Besides, Polina is very beautiful and can dress up, and her beauty is very different from the common female beauty. If you say that the queens or princesses of certain countries are as beautiful as dolls or something, Nabo Lena, well, it is said that one of her admirers once described it like this:
Princess Polina has a special sense of beauty, as beautiful as a colorful tiger in the Indian jungle, like a jumping flame...
And another her obsessive described her like this:
Princess Polina is as beautiful as a poppy, but also as fascinating as a poppy product.
Just considering Polina's charm, this thing about the green grassland is not worth mentioning.
The real problem with Polina is that she is often too neutral, or even masculine. This brings about a problem, that is, her partner tends to appear the same and somewhat neutral, at least in everyone’s eyes. It seems that it is a bit like this.
Generally speaking, a girl is a bit neutral. It is nothing more than being called a tomboy. If it is more serious, it is called a man-in-law. Although a little derogatory, the degree of derogation is still limited. Sometimes, this characteristic can even become a kind of halo on her. Just like the princess Siniska in ancient Greece, she was a bold and unrestrained man-in-law, but everyone also built a statue for her.
But a man who is a bit neutral is not so good. A lighter is called a sissy, a heavier is called a sissy directly. In this era when "little fresh meat" has not yet become popular, the society's contempt for this kind of performance of men far exceeds its contempt for tomboys and male women. This situation is almost intolerable for some people. It is said that the reason why Dawu fell from the horse was probably because he was worried that marrying Polina would affect his image in the army.
However, Berdon does not seem to have any problems in this area, or even if there are problems in this area, compared with Polina’s beauty, this is no longer a big problem. If you consider Polina’s wealth and Political influence, what's the problem here!
Therefore, Berdon hurriedly said: "Polina, I..."
"Hahahaha..." Polina covered his mouth and said, "Fool, I lied to you, made fun of you!"
Then she pushed Berdon aside, put on her nightgown, stood up, walked to the dressing table, picked up the tortoiseshell comb placed in front of the mirror, turned her head, and combed her head.
Berdon lay on the bed, looking at Polina combing her hair with wide light blue eyes.
Polina combed it twice and noticed that Berdon was looking at her, and smiled: "Fool, do you know what I lied to you just now?"
Berdon shook his head silly.
Polina put down her comb, walked over, bent down, and stroked Berdon’s face with her hand, and said: "I like to see you stupid, haha, I tell you, I don’t need you to ask me for a second marriage. Yeah. I’m not Napoleon’s hypocritical guy. I’m so obsessed with "Imbrador" that I can’t sleep, and I have to pretend to be. So, hurry up and ask me to marry me. As long as you speak, I will promise you immediately. ."
"Polina, you... are you serious?" Berdon said in a puzzled manner.
"What? You don't believe it?" Polina said.
"I don't believe it, or you pinch me, I feel like I'm dreaming." Beldon said, "And, it doesn't seem to be in your style?"
"Ah, so!" Polina's big eyes blinked.
"This really doesn't fit my style." Polina said, and then she stood up straight and said solemnly, "Then Miss Berdon, would you marry me?"
Berdon had no idea what to say.
Polina laughed loudly, trembling all over, laughing so hard that she could not stand up straight, and then she fell on the bed and pressed herself against Berdon.
Polina laughed for a while before she stopped. She put her head on Berdon’s belly and stretched out her hand to stroke Berdon’s face: "Berdon, you are so cute."
Then she raised her head again, turned around, and lay down beside Berdon, looking at Berdon’s eyes and said: "Okay, no joke, serious. Well, I have something to ask you for help. Busy."
While speaking, Polina stretched out her hand and patted Berdon's shoulder.
"Well, this is much more normal." Beldon said, "Let's talk about it, what's the matter?"
"I want to participate in the Olympics." Polina said, "I think I can go down in history because I became the princess Siniska in the first modern Olympics. Well, I plan to participate in equestrian and shooting competitions, but there is a little bit for now. Little obstacle. Napoleon and Joseph, the bastards, didn't allow me to sign up for the competition. Well, you have to help me."
"How can I help?" Berdon asked suspiciously.
"Joseph, um, in our house, even Napoleon dare not listen to him. He said, unless I marry myself before the Olympics, otherwise, he would not agree with me to play. I think..." Lena approached Bell Host, "We are brothers. Who else can help me with this matter? After all, the guy Joseph said, my husband must be a man. Well, how about it? A word?"
"This, this too..." Berdon suddenly understood how a female bear child like Polina was made. Sure enough, behind every bear child, there is a bear parent.
"Relax, if you agree, I can assure you of these points. First, I don’t care how you usually go out and play, and I don’t object to you bringing your mistress home. Of course, how I play, you too Don’t worry, in addition, I can also wrong myself, I only bring mistresses home, after all, I guess you will not have a lover. Then, I promise, if I have children, it must be yours. Well, how about But let’s clarify beforehand that Joseph will not allow me to divorce."
"Polina..." Berdon said hesitantly.
"What? You don't want to help?" Polina raised her eyebrows.
"Why then?" Beldon said, "How can I not help with your affairs? Besides, I didn't suffer. But, it was a bit sudden, I was a bit..."
"Okay!" Polina said happily, "Well, buddy enough! Well, let's discuss the next question now."
"What's the problem?" Berdon asked.
"Of course it's the question of who is going to propose to whom. Well, or should I come?" Polina said.
Berdon slowly got up from the bed: "I should do this kind of thing. After all, am I a husband?"
Polina got up from the bed and stood beside the dressing table.
"Dear Miss Bonaparte," Berdon said, walking over and kneeling down, "Will you marry me?"
"My dear, of course I would." Polina said, "Get ready, let's discuss the next thing. I have to take you to meet my brother and my mother. I will tell you, my mother. It's easy to deal with, but none of my brothers..."
In Istanbul, the Sultan of Selim III and St. Melang have reached a basic agreement on preparations for the war. According to the agreement between the two parties, after the Olympics, Sultan Selim III will issue an order to the Pashas of the Barbary countries, ordering them to come to Istanbul to meet.
Everyone knows that these Pashas will never leave their land and go to Istanbul to find death. Therefore, they will certainly not obey the orders of Sultan Selim III. Then naturally, His Majesty Sultan was furious and ordered a crusade against rebellion. At this time, France also declared war on the Barbary countries' piracy that harmed France's interests.
Then the two countries formed a de facto coalition. First of all, the French Navy was responsible for destroying the fleets of the Barbary countries and destroying their port defense facilities to cover the landing of Turkish troops. Because it is related to the issue of the proportion of spoils and the prestige of Turkey, the Sultan of Selim III still hopes that the Turkish army can obtain some honor.
Of course, this victory must be collected by the person Selim III trusts most. Therefore, the Grand Vizier Arendar Mustafa Pasha will be responsible for leading the 30,000 expeditionary army to quell the rebellion.
Of course, this action also needs the cooperation of some other countries. The first is to obtain Russia's cooperation. Otherwise, the Sultan of Selim III would not dare to deploy himself as an elite army to fight thousands of kilometers away. If Maozi took advantage of this opportunity to come over in a wave of recklessness, wouldn't it be a small loss? Therefore, if you want to make such an idea, you must first stabilize Russia.
Therefore, Arendar Mustafa Pasha proposed that the French must publicly state their position and not allow Russia to take the opportunity to launch a war of aggression against Turkey. Saint-Méran believes that it is really excessive and unnecessary to disclose the initial response when the Russians are not doing anything. But they can show this to the Russians in private.
Alandar Mustafa Pasha knew that this was because the French did not want to make trouble with the Russians. However, it is difficult to say how useful the "privately" advice is, because the "privately" approach itself is full of weakness, with the meaning of "I don't want to offend you". The deterrence is much smaller.
Therefore, both Sultan Selim III and Arendar Mustafa Pasha insisted that France must make a public statement to ensure Turkey's security.
But when St. Méran was traveling, Napoleon explained to him that he should not easily fall into Turkey and disputes. So of course he is not willing to agree to such a request.
"Actually, you don’t really need to use the most elite army. From the point of view of security, any statement that can provide security guarantees is inferior to a real army. The land of the rebels in Barbary The power is actually very limited. The general army should be enough to deal with them. It really can’t~EbookFREE.me~You can still hire the French army to help. As long as you pay wages and pensions, this is not a problem. Also, Those Italian mercenaries, although their combat effectiveness is a little worse, they are cheaper than the French.
Moreover, for a huge empire like Turkey, your Majesty must face such a complicated situation, and he cannot only have a reliable army that can fight. Otherwise, if there is any conflict between your country and Russia, some people in your country will have a chance. In fact, I personally prefer to suggest that your country first send a reliable, but not very good training and combat level army, first go to France and receive our training in France.
Your Majesty, Your Excellency the Grand Vizier, over the years, the French Army’s impressive military exploits have shown that our French Army is the best in the world. Your country also sent personnel to visit the last military exercise of our army. I believe they must have reported the performance of our army to the two of you. "St. Melan made such a counter-proposal.
This suggestion went beyond the expectations of Selim III and Arendar Mustafa Pasha. After discussing it, they also felt that this matter seemed feasible. So the two sides also reached an agreement on this issue. As for the specific details, for example, how much money will it cost to send those people to equip these people with French-style weapons and equipment, how much training fees will the French charge for, and how the interest should be discounted for the money borrowed from the French bank, must be reserved The person in charge has come to talk about it.
