Chapter 610 The Death of Emperor Napoleon (Second Update, please subscribe)
There is an intuition in this world called the sixth sense, or crow's mouth.

Of course, Li Mingkuan had never guessed anything in the past.Today's matter, he just said it casually after hearing the gunfire.

But Li Mingkuan's "crow's mouth" really got it right.

And the person who died was a big shot.

Just after the Western New Year in 1873, France ushered in a sad day.

On January 1th, Emperor Napoleon III, who had been suffering from illnesses since last year, finally passed away due to complications after two unsuccessful bladder stone operations, even though the royal doctor used a large amount of expensive berberine, It didn't save his life either.

Perhaps berberine can play some antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.But he can't compare with real antibiotics, and naturally he can't cure a series of complications such as wound infection.

At the end of his life, Napoleon III said that the emperor of the Second French Empire held the hand of Empress Eugenie tightly.

"Honey, I forgive you, Emperor Zhu...I don't know...but he is my child..."

At this moment, he was relieved, and the pain and resignation that had been suppressed in his heart were relieved at this moment. After all, deep in his heart, he had always loved Eugenie deeply, even now.At the last moment of his life, he chose to accept and forgive.

"Honey, I..."

Queen Eugenie's eyes were full of tears, and she looked at her dying husband, her heart was full of guilt.

After all, he once loved this man in her heart.

"Honey, I hope you are happy..."

Afterwards, Napoleon III turned his attention to Crown Prince Eugene, looking at him with eyes full of regret and expectation.

"Eugène, I hand you the crown of France! You must wear this crown tightly."

His last words before his death still revolve around his most glorious moment:
"It was us...the French Empire that defeated Prussia."

After saying this, Napoleon III closed his eyes. Facing his deceased husband, Eugenie's eyes flashed with tears. With a sad expression, she said quietly to the Prime Minister.

"Okay, everything is over, tell everyone the news!"

After all, she looked at the eldest son who was a little at a loss, then gently hugged him in her arms and said.

"Honey, you have to be strong, from now on, you are the emperor of the French Empire!"

For a boy who is only 17 years old, this crown seems too heavy.

January 1873, 1, was a... not to mention a sad day for France.

Although Napoleon III never established his authority, when he died as an emperor, neither the Liberals nor the Bourbons showed their side of gloating, but expressed their sorrow in various ways. is false.

After all, Napoleon III was the emperor of the French Empire.

The news of Napoleon III's death quickly spread throughout Europe, including the Queen of England, the Emperor of Austria-Hungary, and the Russian Tsar all sent telegrams of condolences to Eugenie and said they would attend Napoleon III's funeral.As for the kings of Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Bavaria, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and other countries, of course they also said they would attend the funeral.

To a certain extent, the funeral of the emperor of the French Empire is also a symbol of international status. Of course, as the emperor of the Ming Empire, when Emperor Zhu learned that his state funeral would be held on January 1, he thought about it. Then he told Zhu Guozhong.

"Give it to Eugenie, and I will attend the state funeral of Emperor Napoleon III."

Zhu Xianhai felt that at this time, it was necessary to accompany Eugenie.

Although the mourning period is 14 days!
But in 14 days, can you reach Paris?
Even taking the fastest warship and sailing non-stop all the way, it will take more than 17 days. Of course, Emperor Zhu is very clear about this.

"Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry!"

"Take the airship!"

Zhu Xianhai said directly.

"Isn't our new airship already in use? Just use it!"

airship……

It just so happened to be a show of strength!

Different from the airship three years ago, although the size of Daming's airship has not improved much, the engine has been upgraded from the two 150-horsepower engines at that time to two 300-horsepower engines.

The power is fully doubled, which also allows it to reach an astonishing speed of 70 kilometers, which means that in theory, it only takes less than 200 hours to fly from the sky to Paris, but this is just a theory .

On January 1, after careful preparations, the Daming Float Force dispatched three FT-11 airships, which are the most advanced airships of the Ming Dynasty. The reason for dispatching three ships was to prevent any accidents on the way.

"You must come back safely!"

Hugging her husband tightly, Charlotte said.

"Don't worry, it's not the first time that the floating force has conducted a long-distance voyage!"

The reason why Zhu Xianhai dared to fly more than [-] kilometers to Paris by airship was, to put it bluntly, because the air force had conducted many transoceanic trainings.Now the whole world is starting to build airships. If Da Ming wants to use airships as a stick, he has to tell others—my airship is the best!

That's why Emperor Zhu took the airship himself.Moreover, when making this decision, he deliberately simulated it—not to mention the safety of the journey, but also unexpected gains.

"Tell Eugenie, my heart is with them, we are mourning with France, and remembering my uncle."

Facing his wife's exhortation, Zhu Xianhai said.

"Well, I'll definitely tell her,"

After bidding farewell to the queen, Zhu Xianhai just looked at Ying Tianfu quietly when the airship was slowly rising into the sky. Suddenly, with a serious expression on his face, he smiled again, a smile that seemed a little smug.

Well, the compass of fate has turned!
The reason why Emperor Zhu was so proud was because... Napoleon III died at just the right time!
His death means that the last obstacle of the "Three Emperors Alliance" has disappeared.

Sailing across the ocean in the 19th century was not easy, but it was far more comfortable than taking a boat. After all, it was faster and less time-consuming.

Nine days later, the three airships finally entered the sky above Paris, at the airport of Versailles outside Paris - after the destruction of the royal palace, Napoleon III ordered the construction of an airship airport on the former site of the palace, and the three airships were firmly anchored After the mooring tower.

Amidst the roaring salute, Emperor Zhu once again set foot on the land of France.

That night, Emperor Zhu did not enter Paris, but rested for one night in a royal villa near the Palace of Versailles. Of course, he did not forget to "pay homage" to the Palace of Versailles, um, mainly to appreciate himself results.

Unfortunately, the ruins of the Palace of Versailles have disappeared!Now it is just an airport filled with French floating troops.

In the early morning of the next day, Emperor Zhu entered Paris by train. For this distinguished guest who came from afar, the whole of France was naturally very enthusiastic, because it was a special period, and the Empress Dowager Eugenie and the newly succeeded Emperor Napoleon IV did not meet each other. Meet him at the train station.

Like other monarchs who had arrived in Paris, Emperor Zhu was also settled in an aristocratic manor outside Paris.On the way to the estate by car, Buffett whispered.

"Your Majesty, everything has been arranged, and you will meet tonight!"

After completing his mission in Russia, on the way back to Ming Dynasty, after learning of the death of Napoleon III, he came to Paris in his personal capacity. After all, he and the emperor were considered friends.

The ambassador's words made Emperor Zhu nodded and said.

"Pay attention to confidentiality, and this matter must not be known to the outside world."

After all, he closed his eyes with a faint smile on his face...
