Chapter 1271 The French Emperor, My Son (First Update, Please Subscribe)

When the armor and sword of France are built, we will take revenge in the name of Eugene! Let the whole of England feel the wrath of France!

When Judy finished speaking, Emperor Zhu looked at him seriously, looking at this child who had never grown up by his side.

Although he was very young, Emperor Zhu seemed to see his own shadow in him. His will was firm and unquestionable. What was even more rare was that he was able to clearly realize his own shortcomings, and of course he also understood what he needed.

From this point of view, his character is the same as my own. This is of course natural, after all, he is my son.

"Your Majesty, I need your help now, the help of you and your empire, not only in this future war. We must not only become the closest allies and fight this war with our common enemy. In the days to come, when the French Empire prepares for this war, we need your help. Only with your help can France complete its preparations for war and win the future war. Of course, when the war is over, both of us will reap rich rewards!"

As the emperor of the French Empire, Judy is completely different from his "father" and brother. His cheap father spent his entire life trying to curry favor with the French in order to secure the throne. And his brother? Throughout his life, he tried to use brilliant military victories to tell everyone that he was worthy of being Napoleon and a qualified heir to the throne of the empire.

As for Judy, he didn't have so many thoughts at all. When he was six years old, in Jerusalem, in front of his brother's bed, the marshals and generals swore allegiance to him. A few months later, he personally carried his brother's coffin back to France.

All the French people along the way from Marseille to Paris saw him, saw him and his brother. From that time on, he was the emperor of the French Empire and the undisputed heir to the throne.

He neither needed to please the people like Napoleon III, nor did he need to prove that he was worthy of the title of Napoleon like Napoleon IV.

Even without Eugene's military glory in conquering the colonies and recovering the Holy City, it would have no effect on him. After all, no one would ask much from a six-year-old child.

Even the most despicable politician today would not question his throne - Eugene used his life to ensure the legitimacy of the throne of the Napoleonic family.

From this point of view, Judy is undoubtedly lucky. He does not need to fight wars like Napoleon I, nor does he need to please people like Napoleon III, nor does he need to pay the price of his life like Napoleon IV Eugene to satisfy the imperial vanity of the French with brilliant military exploits.

It took three generations of Napoleon's family to achieve Judy's crown. He became the true emperor of France! And it was the kind that was beyond doubt.

In the face of such a sudden change, in the face of a possible war, as the emperor, Zhu Di knew clearly what he needed and what kind of help he needed. Of course, he also knew very well that if he wanted to get help, he had to pay the price of trust.

"Your Majesty, will you help me?"

In response to Zhu Di's request for help, Emperor Zhu stood up and spoke seriously.

"When I was in Jerusalem, I told you that the Ming Empire is your most reliable ally, both now and in the future! It is still the same now."

Taking a deep breath, Emperor Zhu said.

"Any help you need can be found in the Ming Empire!"

At this moment Emperor Zhu knew that the person standing in front of him was not his son, but the Emperor of the French Empire.

Eugenie, standing aside, looked at her son who seemed to have grown up suddenly, and then she turned her gaze back to Zhu Xianhai. The two of them standing there, they were not only father and son, but also two emperors!

The emperor of two empires!

When she opened her mouth and was about to speak, something in her heart told her...she couldn't tell him.

"Judy, I..."

"Mother, we need time!"

Judy said, turning back to her mother.

"From today on, I will do my utmost to prepare for this war. I will do everything I can to avenge my brother and make the British pay for their shameful cowardice."

Although his expression seemed calm, Eugenie could still sense the anger in his tone.

"Judy, I believe you!"

After Eugenie nodded in agreement, Judy turned around and looked at Emperor Zhu and spoke softly.

"Your Majesty, what we need may be something that the Ming Empire regards as a treasure."

"Is it a dreadnought?"

Emperor Zhu asked directly.

"If you need it, French engineers can not only come to Ming to learn, but we can also provide you with drawings."

Emperor Zhu was generous to his son. Of course, this generosity was more of a commercial act. After all, a dreadnought... that is, in another world, Britain, the United States, and Germany also built dreadnoughts for other countries, and some were even more advanced than their own.

Why did the Ottoman Empire, which had traditionally relied on Britain, side with Germany during World War I?

It was because Britain did something stupid. What was it? It requisitioned two completed battleships that the Ottoman Empire had ordered from Britain!

In order to build those two dreadnoughts, the Ottoman Empire spent a lot of money and even called on all the people to donate. When the Huskies were extremely dissatisfied with the British expropriation, Germany extended an olive branch - giving the two warships hiding in Turkey to Turkey. Then... the Huskies suddenly joined the Allies and directly blocked the Dardanelles.

What happened next?

Supplies from Britain and France could no longer be delivered to Russia through this strait, which ultimately led to the collapse of Tsarist Russia.

…

The two warships determined the direction of a traditional ally and even the fate of an empire. In the end, if the United States had not joined the war, it would be hard to say who would win or lose!

Therefore, Emperor Zhu was quite generous to his ally. This generosity was of course to win over his allies and ensure that they would always stand on the Ming Dynasty's chariot.

Moreover, exporting dreadnoughts could earn huge profits and promote the development of the empire's shipbuilding industry. No matter how you look at it, it's a good thing.

Besides, Emperor Zhu already had a plan to sell dreadnoughts to his allies, and now he was just doing a favor.

Of course, his favor was heard by Eugenie and Judy, and they felt sincere and touched...

While they were moved, Emperor Zhu said again.

"Judy, if we want to prepare for war, we need to make preparations not only in military terms, but also in other areas, Eugene..."

Turning his gaze to Eugenie, Emperor Zhu said seriously.

"I have never forgotten him. He is like my child. So, before coming to Paris, I was thinking about how to avenge him. And now, it is all going on!"
