C2009 Queen Ou Renni (1/2)
Versailles, Hall of Mirrors!
Here again, in this room that Napoleon loved the most, came a muffled and painful sound. The guard at the door had a pale face, as he knew exactly what was going on behind the door, but he absolutely did not dare to open the door to persuade her.
Because at this moment, Napoleon III was about to go crazy.
Napoleon didn't drink too much, nor was he addicted to drugs. His way of resisting pressure was mainly by relying on his own firm will, which was a determination unique to Napoleon's family.
He had used his willpower to fortify the situation, successfully allowing him to survive the prison cells and the failure of each of his riots … It had to be admitted that Napoleon being able to revive his uncle's empire was completely related to his unswerving determination and personality.
However, there will always be a day when one becomes old, and there will always be a time when one's energy is lacking, no matter how strong one is. Especially during these past few years when Napoleon III felt that his national destiny was not going well.
He was no longer the iron man he used to be. This was the first time he felt weak.
What was even more terrifying was that in order to relieve the pressure, he chose to drink the absinthe.
The absinthe of the nineteenth century did not have the scientific technology of purification, and the absinthe of this era had strong hallucinogenic properties.
He placed a specially made silver spoon on top of the glass and placed a square candy on top of it. Then, he roasted it with flames and dripped the melted sugar onto the absinthe, softening the sweet and spicy taste.
This was the devil's poison, the hallucinogen that could make him crave honey. It was Napoleon's only method to relieve the pressure.
The table was a mess, with a few important telegrams scattered across the floor, all of which contained shocking information about the East.
Molière was cast alive into the ground, becoming a kneeling statue trampled on by tens of thousands of people.
In the Sri Lanka, the French battleship that came to demonstrate their might were destroyed by the explosion of the Zhiyuan Warship without any warning.
What a deranged Chinese! But this was not the end. After the united fleet entered the Suez Canal, he actually dared to brazenly attack the colonies there, and even sent his army to board the lands in the Middle East.
How disrespectful, this was a provocation towards France's Scarlet Fruit!
But he did not expect that the next few rounds of telegrams would cause the French Emperor to not even have the strength to scold him.
In the end, Counsellor La Ku gave the Chinese a statement of apology and compensation of seven million Gold franc.
Napoleon III did not have the strength to get angry anymore.
”What is Xiao Letian relying on? Why is he not afraid of French revenge? ” This was the first time Napoleon had doubted himself.
Previously, he thought that all of Xiao Letian's craziness was simply suicidal. The France had plenty of ways to squash this little bug.
However, as time passed, he suddenly discovered that this enemy of the East was getting stronger and stronger, until finally he was strong enough to defeat Sha Russia!
”How many years has it been since he rose in power? How could he have such strength?
