Fox of France

v1 Chapter 415: ,victory

The delegation of the French Academy of Sciences with Joseph as the core was warmly welcomed in Italian universities, especially Joseph's lectures, every session was full. In this era, scientists seem to have the same traffic as entertainment stars. To say that as long as you are human, there will always be some vanity. Even Joseph is not immune, although he himself has always said to himself in his mind "Don't love vanity", "You are actually the one of Napoleon and Paris Normal University. It’s something like gangsters playing, what's so proud of", but everyone’s surroundings and compliments are still "really fragrant", especially when she was in the limelight, the little girl slapped her and shouted, "Dad is awesome." Time, even more so.

In addition, through his own means, Joseph also got Napoleon's paper that was rated as "extremely important" and "extremely popular".

Joseph looked at it several times carefully and was sure that it must have been ghostwritten by the guys from the Paris Normal University. The structure is rigorous, the argumentation is rigorous and sufficient, and the loopholes can hardly be found. Of course, it must be said that there is no problem at all. For example, some derivations are a bit too cumbersome, and thus appear cumbersome and lack aesthetics, but this is not a mistake after all. In general, this paper is indeed worthy of those two adjectives.

Let’s not talk about Joseph taking out 13 during his official travel in Italy. Now that Napoleon has become an academician of the Academy of Sciences, he is naturally ready to fulfill his promise. That is, he wants to choose a queen for himself among the relatives of the group of children of the Paris Normal University.

However, Napoleon immediately discovered: "Laplace's niece is really ugly, Monge's granddaughter is not good-looking, Lagrange's granddaughter is okay, but unfortunately the waist is too thick to catch up with the older sister... still not one Comparable to..."

However, Napoleon is generally a very trustworthy person, and he now chooses the queen instead of the mistress, as long as his manners are good enough. Besides, isn't it that the waist is not thin enough? Strictly speaking, this is a Roman legacy. Look at the goddesses in the sculptures left over from the Roman era. Who meets the current standards for a thin waist? As the emperor of Rome, how could he not admire the Romanesque women, but influenced by the barbarians, like slender bees?

After thinking about it this way, Napoleon discovered that Lagrange's grand-niece was actually quite cute. Although in terms of appearance and demeanor, he is not as good as one of his mistresses, but she can be regarded as a middle-class bourgeoisie, at least not like Laplace's niece. Coupled with the little girl's very respect and love for Napoleon, it also made Napoleon feel good, so Napoleon began to date this girl named Lola frequently.

Joseph continued to travel in Italy. When he arrived at the last stop of the trip, Naples, new news came, saying that the French army had won a decisive victory in Morocco and captured the port of Dalbeda. (The preceding text is incorrect. At this time, the city does not have an alias for Casablanca)

The capture of Darbeda also means that this war is basically over. France's losses in this war are very limited, especially since few people died. The main ones who died in the war were the enemy. Apart from the enemy, the Turks were the main ones who died on their own side. As for the French, not many died.

But this is not the French pitting teammates, at least, the Turks can not say such a thing. For example, at the beginning of the offensive, the Turks discovered that Morocco was much more prepared for anti-landing than the first two places, and they learned the lessons of the first two places and carried out a comprehensive upgrade of the port’s defense. .

Obstacles and mines have been set up in the port and in the nearby sea areas that are convenient for landing. If the French had not invested in the latest minesweepers, these mines alone would have caused the joint fleet to pay huge losses, and most of these losses would have been paid by the Turks.

The French minesweeper is actually quite simple. This is a punt. At sea, the ability of flat-bottomed boats to resist wind and waves is not very good, but relatively speaking, the draft is much shallower, which makes this kind of boats less prone to hitting mines, especially at high tide.

This kind of ship is also equipped with a special device-a relatively primitive magnetic anomaly detector. When there are metal objects in the water, and these metal objects are within a certain distance, this thing can give a warning.

Then came the minesweeping machinery for this kind of ship. This kind of ship can put down something similar to a later trawl. It's just that what the two cables pull is not a net, but a large blade similar to a sickle.

This thing is towed along a depth close to the bottom of the sea. If there is an anchor mine below, the scythe will cut the cable under the anchor mine, and the anchor mine will surface. Once the anchor mine surfaced, it was easy to deal with it.

Of course, even if you repeatedly sweep a few rounds like this, there is no guarantee that there will be no missing fish. For example, in this attack, several Turkish warships were still sunk by thunder. But considering the more mines that the French swept away, the Turks also knew how many times their losses would have been without the support of their French allies.

After completing the attack operation after landing near the port, it was the French Marines who helped the Turks open a safe passage in the minefield and was defeated by the Turkish offensive forces~lightnovelpub.net~The enemy took the opportunity to counterattack At that time, it blocked the enemy’s counter-impact and caused huge damage to the enemy.

Finally, the artillery of the French Navy. The use of expensive high-explosive bombs destroyed a crucial bastion on the hilltop near Dalbel, allowing the attack to make breakthrough progress. After that, the French used the temporary port to send some artillery ashore and transported them into the fortress, and then they continued to bombard the city. This defeated the defense forces in the city and played a decisive role in the Turks finally occupying the city.

Relying on these real merits, the Turks naturally cannot say that the French are not dead or poor. Even more benefits must be transferred to the French in accordance with the newly signed terms. After Barbary gained these footholds, although France's control over the Mediterranean could not be compared with the Roman Empire in its heyday, it was already much stronger than Athens or Carthage in its heyday.

With such a major victory easily obtained, and with the liberation of so many Christians, the Holy See even plans to canonize Napoleon. But an unexpected event interrupted the process.

After the news that the combined fleet had captured Morocco, the old Pope, Pius VI, was called by the Lord. It is said that during his temporary period, he said: "It's fine now, I don't have to worry about God."
