"What urgent matter does His Excellency the Duke wish to discuss with us?"
Several people entered Bonaparte's room and asked in unison.
"Your Grace, how did your talks with Her Majesty the Queen go today? Is Her Majesty willing to send troops to form an alliance with us to deal with the Duke of Buckingham?"
Bonaparte shook his head.
But it was obvious that there was a slight smile on the corner of this guy's mouth.
"I've heard a big secret today."
Bonaparte stood up excitedly.
"Our empire is going to get rich, and get really rich."
Upon seeing Bonaparte's excited expression, everyone quickly gathered around.
"Your Excellency, what important matter has made you so happy?"
“It must be a great thing to make His Excellency the Duke so happy.”
"Your Grace, we are all ears."
Bonaparte nodded, lit a cigar, and began to smoke.
Soon, he exhaled two puffs of smoke.
A faint fragrance instantly filled the room, and for a moment, smoke swirled around it. Everyone stared intently at Bonaparte.
"That bitch Ekaterina revealed something today."
The Rakshasa Kingdom's 200,000-strong army has already embarked on a distant expedition.
"Their large army is on a long expedition, which means they can't form an alliance with us, Your Excellency. What's there to be happy about?" Victor asked, somewhat surprised.
"Their 200,000-strong army headed straight east to a country called the Great Xia Dynasty, which was said to be rich in gold and silver."
The yellow houses were all built with gold.
"The palaces are all carved from precious white marble."
"Even the roads were paved with silver."
Before Bonaparte could finish speaking, everyone present stared in astonishment.
Victor and Harvey, in particular, were so surprised that their mouths were wide open, enough to fit two eggs.
"Gentlemen, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our empire."
"There is no need for us to get involved with the Duke of Buckingham's forces."
Harvey nodded repeatedly: "So what if the Duke of Buckingham seduced His Majesty's wife? It's no big deal."
Victor: "That's right. His Majesty the Emperor has only been cuckolded. Compared to the Great Xia Dynasty, which is overflowing with gold, this cuckoldry is nothing."
Everyone turned to look at Bonaparte: "Your Grace, I don't think we need to waste time here. What we need to do now is to quickly mobilize our army and head straight for the enemy's capital."
"We can't fall behind in this kind of thing."
"A country where gold is everywhere. I've never seen anything like it before. If I go there just once, I could become rich."
Victor: "There's no need for us to meddle here and think we can go back home right now. As long as we tell His Majesty the King about this, he won't care that his wife is having an affair with the Duke of Buckingham."
Harvey: "That's absolutely true. What is a woman's loyalty compared to gold and silver?"
I think that as long as our King obtains a large amount of gold and silver, he wouldn't care how many times His Majesty the Queen cuckolds him.
Everyone was eager to make a move.
Bonaparte glanced at everyone and said, "We must go to the Great Xia Dynasty."
We have two things to do now.
The first thing to do is to find out exactly where the Great Xia Dynasty is located.
Secondly, I think it would be better for us to send troops; we can keep this from His Majesty the King for now.
Bonaparte's ulterior motives were obvious to everyone.
Bonaparte didn't want to tell Louis XIV because he wanted to send troops first.
They were all people who could mobilize troops.
In this way, their army marched all the way to the Great Xia Dynasty.
They did not have to hand over the gold and silver jewelry they collected to the state.
At that time, they can do whatever they want and cause as much trouble as they want.
"Your Excellency, do you mean we should deploy our troops without authorization?"
"But Your Majesty, without His Majesty's decree, we cannot mobilize the army at all."
Bonaparte smiled coldly: "You don't need to worry about such things. We just need to tell His Majesty the King that we mobilized the army to cooperate with the Russian soldiers in launching an attack on Buckingham."
"Our King is such a fool, how could he possibly understand these things? He can't even keep an eye on his own wife, what else can you expect him to know?"
Soon, applause broke out in the room.
“Your Grace is right.” Harvey gave a thumbs up. “The Russians can mobilize 200,000 troops, while we can mobilize 400,000.”
Bonaparte: "The other side has deployed 2,000 large vehicles, or even more."
Catherine has already declared that when his thousands of wagons go out, they will return with thousands more wagons to the gold mine.
"Your Grace, they've deployed 2,000 vehicles, while we're deploying 20,000," Harvey said, still not satisfied.
"A country full of gold and silver, I really want to go and see it for myself."
We should bring all their country's gold and silver over here.
I don't know much about the Great Xia Dynasty, but just from the name, I know they were just a bunch of uncivilized barbarians.
Everyone got right to it.
Everyone was incredibly excited.
In their view, as long as they went to the Great Xia Dynasty, they would definitely be able to make a fortune.
“Gentlemen, we all have some good friends in St. Petersburg.” Bonaparte stood up. “What we need to do now is to find out the general location of the Great Xia Dynasty.”
Harvey looked excited: "His Excellency the Duke asked where the Great Xia Dynasty is, so we don't need to go to any trouble to find out."
I spent some time in St. Petersburg before.
In St. Petersburg, there was a merchant guild originating from the Great Asian Kingdom; this guild was called the World Association.
"You mean to say that the World Society comes from the Great Xia Dynasty?" Bonaparte was extremely excited. "I have bought silk and porcelain from people in the World Society before."
Their products are of top quality.
Especially their silks and porcelain; I have never seen such exquisite works of art.
“Exactly,” Victor and Harvey said in unison. “Your Grace, I think we should go and check out the World Society right now.”
I believe the people of the World Society will provide us with the answers we seek.
"Then let's go quickly, I can't wait."
The group left the room with smiles on their faces and headed straight for the World Society.
…………
St. Petersburg.
Inside the red palace.
“Your Majesty, we have had men closely following Bonaparte and his men,” said Paulsky, the chief of the royal guard, stepping forward. “These men went to the World Society this afternoon.”
