Once upon a time, I rode the waves and returned to my homeland on the other side of the sea in an unprecedented position.

Standing next to Serurier was Major Ya'an of the Central Military Police Regiment.

He did not look at the menacing enemy fleet, but closed his eyes and felt the salty sea breeze. His right hand rested on the sword that had been with him for many years, and he felt the sword carefully.

Every trace and texture of the handle.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yaan once used this sword to defend the life of Bonaparte in the bloody battles in Ajaccio, and this time, he swore

, he will once again use this sword to protect the city of Bonaparte.

...

In the naval port of Ajaccio, the bow of the third-class line ship Infinite Liberty, the flagship of the Corsican Navy.

Grosso Bruno, the permanent undersecretary of the Navy, squinted at the Sardinian fleet in the distance, picked up the wine bag and poured a large gulp of rum into his mouth. The wine spilled on his beard glistened under the bright sunlight.

Transparent, like diamonds and pearls.

Grossoy suddenly took off the saber from his waist and threw it to Horatio Nelson beside him:

"Boy, if Ajaccio falls, you will use this knife to cut off my head."

Nelson took the saber in a daze, even a little unsure:

"You...Mr. Grosso, what are you talking about?!"

Grosso was silent for a while, then raised the wine bag again, drank the strong wine inside, and exhaled happily:

"If Ajaccio falls, when our navy assisting the city's defense faces the Sardinian fleet... except that the entire army is annihilated, I can't think of any other outcome."

"Even so! You don't have to...!"

Nelson wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Grosso laughing:

"Boy, Laurence Bonaparte gave me the entire Corsican navy, hahaha! Who the hell am I? A sailor, a smuggler, a pirate, and what did he ask me to do? Navy

Standing Under Secretary of the Ministry! My current year's salary can buy a fucking boat. People now have to use the word "Your Excellency" when calling me. This is really something I have never dreamed of, so..."

Grosso's laughter gradually subsided. I don't know if it was the effect of alcohol, but his vision became a little blurred:

"So if this navy is lost in my hands, I won't have the face to see Lawrence... But your kid's life is still long, and you have to survive for me. If Ajaccio is really attacked,

Just kill me, surrender to the Sardinian army, say that you are a captured British Royal Navy cadet, and take advantage of the chaos to kill the Corsican naval commander. The Sardinians should release you back to the Royal Navy.

Coupled with your contribution to killing me, your boy will probably live a good life after returning to the Royal Navy..."

Just as Grosso was planning a way out for the thirteen-year-old boy, Nelson suddenly handed Grosso's saber back and interrupted:

"No, Mr. Grosso, I am not affiliated with the Royal Navy of Great Britain. I am Warrant Officer Horatio Nelson of the Kingdom of Corsica serving on the Infinite Liberty. If this ship is buried here, as a commander

If you also sacrificed yourself here, then this sea area will also be my burial place."

Grosso was stunned, his right hand was hanging in the air, and after a few seconds of hesitation, he caught the dagger handed back by Nelson.

Looking at Nelson's eyes, which were more determined than any sailor's, Grosso smiled happily, shook his head, and immediately returned to his usual cynicism, laughing and cursing:

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. I don't want to die yet. Go to the second deck to check the artillery deployment. Don't make any mistakes at this time!"

"Yes, sir!"

Nelson also smiled and gave a sailor salute, then immediately turned around and carried out Grosso's order.

...

Dongcheng District, in the residence of Congressman Carlo Bonaparte.

Maria Letizia, who was several months pregnant, stopped her husband who was about to go out. She looked at the dagger and pistol on Carlo Bonaparte's waist with great concern. Although she already knew what her husband was going to do, she still

Heartbroken and knowingly asked:

"Dear...what do you want?"

Carlo Bonaparte lifted his belt, tied it tighter, and took out the polished dagger and polished it again. He seemed to be afraid to face his wife's question, so he lowered his head and answered.

:

"You clearly know, Maria, that I am also a soldier. Have you forgotten that when you and I met, I had been following General Paoli to fight against the Genoese for a long time. Now Ajaccio is attacked again.

I have an obligation to stand up and I must join the fight."

"You have no such obligation, my dear, you..." There were tears in the corners of Maria Letizia's eyes, and she also knew that she could not stop her husband:

"Why are you doing this? You are a congressman and you have a great brother. Why do you want to risk yourself on the battlefield?"

Carlo's two younger sons, young Joseph and Napoleon, also crawled to the door. They looked at their father curiously and ignorantly, only feeling that his father's dress today was a little different.

"I have to do this, my dear." Carlo Bonaparte walked up to his wife, kissed her forehead, and said in a very low voice:

"This is a defensive battle with a huge disparity in strength. The morale of the army can easily be defeated by the Sardinians' artillery fire and charges. But if the soldiers know that Prime Minister Bonaparte's brother is fighting with them, maybe

Things will get a lot better.”

"But!" Maria Letizia couldn't stop crying. She touched her two sons on the ground, and then touched her belly, which was several months pregnant, and cried sadly:

"The two children are still so young, and the one in my belly... I don't want this child to be born without a father."

Carlo Bonaparte gently stroked his wife's bulging belly, but still shook his head:

"If this child is a boy, let's call her Lucien. If it's a girl, let her be called Paulina... If I really die on the battlefield, I will entrust this child to Joseph and Napoleon together."

Lawrence, my brother will definitely be an excellent godfather."

Finally, as his wife cried, Carlo Bonaparte picked up the ignorant Joseph and Napoleon respectively, kissed their foreheads, and then rushed out of the house without looking back, instantly disappearing into the sea of ​​people outside.

among.

...

Inside the Prime Minister's Palace in Ajaccio.

"Miss Anna, the people near the port area have been basically evacuated and have been temporarily placed on Hotten Street in Nancheng District. In this way, the evacuation of the people in the core firefighting area has been completed."

"Okay, I understand, please, you can go down now."

After urgently completing the evacuation of the entire city of Ajaccio and ensuring sufficient supplies of supplies, Anna Celestia sighed with physical and mental exhaustion.

As for the rest, we have to leave it to the army.

Anna was sitting in the Prime Minister's study where she was the only one. Looking at the empty armchair behind the main table, her thoughts were instantly drawn to a long time ago, when she was Mr. Bonaparte's personal maid.

She stood up slowly and placed her delicate palms on the armchair, as if she could still feel a little bit of the remaining warmth from several months.

Anna sighed again and turned her gaze to the horizon outside the window, watching the shadow on the horizon approaching Ajaccio.

She put her hands together and put them gently on the tip of her nose, as if praying, and also seemed to be praying:
Chapter completed!
