"Go ahead... I'll be waiting for your good news."
Bonaparte put down his wine glass and bowed deeply to Louis XIV and the Cardinal.
Soon, Bonaparte led Victor and Harvey out of the palace gardens.
In the back garden, flowers are in full bloom, birds are chirping, and insects are humming, creating a vibrant scene.
A gentle breeze blew by.
The air was filled with a refreshing floral fragrance.
The aroma is so delightful and irresistible.
“My lord…” Victor said from behind Bonaparte, “We can win this time, but so many gold and silver coins…”
"So what..." Hal said with a smile, "When I came here, I talked to the people from the World Society. The Rakshasa Kingdom fined the World Society, and they fined them tens of millions of taels of silver in one go."
"The princes and ministers of the Rakshasa Kingdom possess countless amounts of gold and silver jewels."
“We can take millions of gold coins and tens of millions of silver coins without any effort at all.”
Bonaparte nodded.
At the corner of the corridor, Harvey met the Queen.
The Queen wore a pure white dress and a sapphire necklace.
The sapphire necklace shone brilliantly in the sunlight, making the Queen's long, fair neck even more beautiful and captivating.
“Duke Bonaparte, please wait a moment,” the Queen said softly.
Bonaparte stopped and glanced at Halvi and Victor.
"You two, please go ahead. I have something important to discuss with Her Majesty the Queen."
Harvey and Victor left quickly.
Bonaparte turned and glanced at the French rose.
"Your Grace, come with me to my bedroom," the Queen said, glancing at the back garden, where flowers were in full bloom and Louis XIV and the Cardinal were still drinking and chatting under a pavilion.
“This… I shall respectfully comply…” Bonaparte quickly followed the Queen to question her about the Queen’s bedroom.
Golden doors opened before the Queen, and after Bonaparte and the Queen had passed through, they slowly closed behind them.
They arrived at the Empress's palace.
The Queen turned around: "Duke Bonaparte, you've been to Russia. Is Russia really so vulnerable now?"
"This... is not so easily defeated. They still have millions of serf soldiers. If these serf soldiers join forces, they will not be so easy to deal with."
Bonaparte knew that the Queen was having an affair with the Duke of Buckingham.
The Empress must have had ulterior motives in summoning him to ask this question.
Is the Rakshasa Kingdom wealthy?
"They are quite wealthy; their land is vast, and they have countless gold and silver mines."
"Didn't you consider joining forces with the armies of other countries?"
"Your Majesty, our empire is strong enough to crush them. There is no need for us to unite with other countries."
"After all, once we defeat the Rakshasa Kingdom, everything will belong to us. We won't need to share anything with them."
"this……"
...
The Ottoman Empire.
Istanbul.
The majestic palace was bathed in the golden glow of the setting sun.
This white palace, built of marble, looks magnificent.
Two rows of guards stood at the front gate of the palace.
A horse-drawn carriage sped towards us from a distance.
Two rows of guards quickly stood at attention at the palace gate, all saluting the carriage that had come from afar.
Soon, the carriage stopped at the palace gate.
A middle-aged man dressed in a black robe stepped down from the carriage.
The black robe was embroidered with gold patterns, giving it a luxurious, elegant, and high-class look.
The head of the palace guards strode forward.
"My lord, His Majesty the Emperor is waiting for you."
"Take me to see His Majesty the Emperor immediately."
"yes……"
Led by four palace guards, the man in the black robe quickly headed deep into the palace.
Inside the main hall of the imperial palace.
Osman I, the founder of the Ottoman Empire, sits on a tall throne.
The person in the black robe stepped forward quickly and knelt down on one knee.
"Your Majesty, I come from the Kingdom of Rakshasa."
Osman I looked at the middle-aged man before him: "Get up quickly, Murad. You've come from afar this time. Do you have any good news?"
"Your Majesty, the Rakshasa Kingdom has suffered several major battles, and their main force of soldiers has been almost completely wiped out."
This is a golden opportunity for our Ottoman Empire. If we win this battle, we can double our territory.
Upon hearing this, Osman I was overjoyed: "Is the news reliable? The Russians annexed a large portion of our Ottoman Empire's land a few years ago."
I haven't avenged this yet.
Murad nodded: "I have witnessed everything in the Russian Kingdom during my two years there."
However, in recent months, they have been embroiled in a fierce conflict with the French Empire.
Their regular army suffered hundreds of thousands of casualties.
"Later they formed an army of several million serfs, and these serfs fought each other, resulting in the loss of several million serfs."
"Your Majesty, I believe that if we launch a major offensive now, the enemy will be unable to muster an effective force to resist us in a short period of time."
"This would be a good opportunity for us to expand our territory."
"Your Majesty, this is an opportunity that must not be missed and will not come again."
"If we miss this opportunity, the next one will probably be decades away."
Osman I stood up.
He slowly walked down from the platform.
Osman I wore a huge crown, held a golden scepter, and wore a golden robe that was more than ten meters long.
Osman I had already descended the steps, but his robes remained on the enormous throne.
Osman I nodded: "Besides us coveting their territory, the Persian Empire is also eyeing their territory."
After all, when Catherine the Great was expanding the territory, she not only occupied most of the Ottoman Empire's territory, but also a considerable amount of the Persian Empire's territory.
Catherine was no ordinary girl.
Catherine once said: "All I want in my life is to live a little longer. That way, I can double the size of the Russian Empire."
This land didn't come out of thin air; it was taken from other countries' territory.
The land area of some countries has increased while that of others has decreased.
The Rakshasa Kingdom has now lost so many people.
None of the surrounding powers wanted to miss the opportunity to seize more territory.
Everyone is eager to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
“There’s no need to discuss this anymore.” Osman I said with an air of certainty. “No matter what, there’s only one thing we need to do: take back what belongs to us. Russia has so many gold and silver mines, and all of them should be incorporated into the territory of our Ottoman Empire.”
