Chapter 15: Uncle and Nephew Conspiracy (Part 1) ()

Xiao Jie didn't expect that Napoleon would ask such profound questions. You should know that he was only twelve years old, so he smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle, you are not wrong, I am only twelve years old! Is it a bit more profound for you to ask such a question?"

If Napoleon looked at Xiao Jie meaningfully, then said, "What are you pretending to be in front of me? Who doesn't know that you have been extremely smart since childhood, with many tricks, and a real person. After staying in Brienna for four years, I'm afraid he's even better than before." Napoleon knew that his nephew could not look at him with the eyes of the child. Under his harmless and cute appearance, he could make people fatal tricks at any time.

Napoleon knew that Xiao Jie's talent was when he returned from Egypt in 1799. He wanted to launch a coup and seize the highest power, but he did not get enough support, so he was very distressed. At that time, Xiao Jie happened to be on vacation at home. One day, Xiao Jie went to Napoleon's house to have dinner. Napoleon sighed and looked sad. Xiao Jie couldn't see it and muttered: "What's the big deal? Isn't it enough to unite with Sièse?"

Napoleon was like a bolt from the blue, and was enlightened, looking at Xiao Jie like a monster. Then, despite Xiao Jie's words, he ran to the study room before he finished eating, which made the whole family look at each other. As soon as Xiao Jie said, he knew something was wrong, so he had to bite the bullet and explain: "What you want is power, and what Siès wants is a new constitution, so you two can unite. In this case, you can only unite and succeed. As long as you grasp the power this time, what will you do with Siès in the future? Isn't it your wish?" Napoleon suddenly became clear after hearing Xiao Jie's words, and the original chaotic situation became clear. This led to the fact that Napoleon and Siès launched a coup, kicking Siès away after he took power. At that time, Napoleon couldn't understand why a nine-year-old child had such a unique view.

After asking, Xiao Jie went all out and made up countless excuses to pass the test. Napoleon did not go into it in depth, but thought that Xiao Jie was a rare political genius in the family with a keen political sense. From then on, when encountering major events, Napoleon would listen to Xiao Jie's suggestions. Even if Xiao Jie was not in Paris at that time, Napoleon would send someone to send him a letter. Xiao Jie also realized the disadvantage of saying the wrong thing, that is, he would be caught as a "courtie" at any time. He didn't want to expose himself too early, and he would not have a good ending, so basically he hid when he could hide. Fortunately, Napoleon also understood this truth. He would not have found any major events, and he never thought anyone had mentioned it. Even Xiao Jie's parents didn't know. So others just guessed that there was a capable man around Napoleon, but he didn't know who it was.

Seeing that she couldn't escape today, Xiao Jie said seriously: "In my opinion, the situation in France is very critical now."

Napoleon frowned and said, "I don't think it's that serious. We just defeated the second anti-French alliance two years ago. Now all countries are still licking their wounds and are unable to go to war with us anymore?"

Seeing that Napoleon was a little confused, Xiao Jie explained: "Although we defeated them and made them sign a treaty and dissolve the anti-French alliance, we ourselves have suffered heavy losses. I think the vitality of the army has not yet recovered, right?"

Napoleon nodded.

Xiao Jie continued: "Besides, Britain, Prussia, Austria and Russia have always hated our revolution. They will seize every opportunity to extinguish our revolution. Although they are still unable to start a war with us, once they recover, I think we will still not be able to avoid a great war."

"Then what should we do? Should we take action first?" Napoleon asked, a light flashing in his eyes.

Xiao Jie saw it and couldn't help but admire: Napoleon is indeed a character! He was very decisive in his work. He said: "Do you think we can fight against them with our current strength? Besides, if we attack one of the countries, the so-called "lip and teeth are cold, the other three countries will definitely not sit idly by. Then there will be another big battle, which will be very unfavorable to us."

Napoleon didn't speak anymore, but was just bowing his head and pondering how to resolve the crisis.

So Xiao Jie continued: "In fact, the essence of the anti-French alliance is that other European countries do not want to see France strong, so they have to attack France for their own interests. The culprit is still Britain. It can be seen that the anti-French alliance was dominated by it. Because Britain and the European continent are separated by the strait, and Britain is surrounded by the sea, he has always attached importance to the development of the navy. Until now, no navy of any country in the world can compete with him, so that he can intervene in the European continent without worrying about the local attack. Even if our French army is the best in the world, we still have no choice but to sigh in the face of the English Channel. And Britain's policy to the European continent has always been the second strongest in united and the strongest in suppressing us, so he is so enthusiastic about organizing the anti-French alliance and joining other countries to suppress us."

Napoleon listened to Xiao Jie's analysis, was well-organized, and pointed at the UK incisively. He was the culprit of the anti-French alliance. So he nodded repeatedly to express his agreement, and at the same time, a hint of praise flashed in his eyes, thinking: "It seems that Andrecy is really his best heir! The Bonaparte family will definitely be more brilliant in his hands in the future than it is now." So he asked: "Then according to you, what should we do in such a severe situation? Should we sit and wait for death?"

"It is definitely not OK to sit and wait for death. I think we should treat Britain and several other countries separately. In the future, we should vigorously develop the navy against Britain. Although it is almost impossible to defeat the British navy, it can always hold back many of its forces and reduce its attack on important ports in our country. We can also block the straits so that it cannot easily send troops into the European continent to fight. We should also take tough measures against the British government. We should also take relatively moderate measures to show goodwill to them and reduce their response to the three countries.
