The Crown Prince of France - Chapter 145
Chapter 145: We'll Eat You, Barbary Pirates!"North Africa?" Talleyrand seemed caught off guard by the sudden mention of it, pausing for a moment. "Well, I suppose I know a bit about the situation. Your Highness, what would you like to know?""Anything, the more detailed, the better."Talleyrand, limping slightly, walked beside Joseph as he pondered, "North Africa is generally located on the southern shore of the Mediterranean. From west to east, you have Morocco, Algiers, Tunisia, Tripoli, Egypt, and several other ...
I Became a Tycoon During World War I - Chapter 160
Chapter 160: You Are Free“Dada dada!”...An "Avro" swooped down from the rainstorm with a shriek. The machine gun bullets hit the waterlogged fields, sending two streaks of water straight toward the highway. Where they intersected, blood from several German soldiers splashed up before the plane quickly climbed again.It seemed the pilot had misjudged the timing, and this burst of fire only caused a slight ripple in the German ranks.The German artillerymen shouted as they jumped off their vehicles. They raised their rifles to the sky, ...

Chapter 159: The Trap of War MachinesThe Lafox Line, German 2nd Infantry Regiment Command Post.Colonel Khalil sat at his desk, staring blankly at the map in front of him. The dim light above his head swayed back and forth, much like his unsettled emotions at that moment."Any new intelligence?" Seeing Staff Officer Wolf step forward, Khalil anxiously asked.Wolf shook his head helplessly. "Our telephone lines with Andelussy and Tamon have been cut. They only managed to send a few telegrams requesting reinforcements to General Waldeck ...
Chapter 388: Writing His Beloved Girl Into History
When the Earl spoke these words, there was a faint hint of sourness in his tone.Antonio, deeply resonating with his father’s emotions, thought to himself that if he could change his name, the eldest son of the Bretagne family would gladly rename himself: Antonio Bretagne "Also Jealous."The life of Earl Bretagne was nothing short of legendary. He was recognized as the greatest warrior in the Fars Empire, a figure as stable and unshakeable as the empire’s foundation itself. He had contributed countless heroic deeds to the empire, beco...
Chapter 387: Son, You Must Work Hard
After sending off Julian Arsilo and Yulia, Charlot Mecklenburg still felt as though he were in a dream.At the time, he hadn’t noticed anything special about Yulia’s name, nor had he thought much about the significance of the Star Castle Ball she had mentioned. He was simply not someone with excessive killing intent. Charlot truly hadn’t expected that such a small detail would result in Julian’s gratitude and lead to him receiving an official letter from Byron!Clearly, Byron had no desire to open a new front in the conflict.Even if they ...
The Crown Prince of France - Chapter 144
Chapter 144: Foreign PolicyWith Russia's concerns in mind, if the British interfered in France's actions in North Africa, Russia would be the first to protest to Britain.Joseph handed the letter back to Briand. "What do you think of what it says?"Briand pondered for a moment. "Aligning with Russia may not bring us many immediate benefits, but in the long run, it could help us constrain Austria, Prussia, and other countries, and even influence the British to some extent."Joseph silently thought to himself that Briand had ...
The Crown Prince of France - Chapter 143
Chapter 143: A Letter from Catherine the GreatJoseph glanced once again in Talleyrand's direction and said to Louis XVI, "Father, if he bothers you again, just have him come to me. I have ways to convince him."Louis XVI, upon hearing that he could rid himself of the persistent priest, readily agreed, "I truly appreciate it, Joseph."As he spoke, his mind wandered back to the honor and praises the firelock rifle had brought him earlier that day, and he couldn't help but look at his son longingly. "Joseph, if you have a...

Chapter 158: The Three-Three SystemColonel Estigny’s forces, after breaking through the defensive line, pressed on southward without hesitation.On the other side, Colonel Browning, stationed at Tamon, also broke through the German lines, advancing north along the road.With one moving south and the other north, it was clearly a pincer attack on Lafauces.Colonel Browning also fought a brilliant battle. He didn’t understand the strategy behind it, but he knew that Charles' tactics had once again been victorious. With excitement, he climbed...
I Became a Tycoon During World War I - Chapter 157
Chapter 157: Charles' Elite TroopsThe rain poured down heavily, with raindrops hitting the ground like bullets falling from the sky, violently striking the earth. The rainwater mixed with mud and blood, flowing across the trenches, forming little streams that snaked through the battlefield.Inside the trench, the two sides were locked in a chaotic melee, struggling in the mud to the point where it was impossible to distinguish friend from foe.Bayonets, rifle stocks, shovels, and even stones and teeth were used—anything that could kill the ...
Chapter 386: A Diplomatic Letter from Byron
After the banquet concluded, Charlot Mecklenburg returned to Cold Spring Palace and received “materials” from over a dozen noble families of the Lionheart Empire.—Crates of Lionheart Gold Coins!The Lionheart Gold Coin is approximately equivalent in value to the écus and gold pounds. The exchange rate of the gold pound is slightly higher than the écu, and its purchasing power equates to roughly 20,000 yuan. The écu, in comparison, has a purchasing power equivalent to about 18,000 yuan, and the Lionheart Gold Coin falls slightly above th...
Chapter 385: The Great Philosopher Boloro’s Praise—Lionheart Chronicles, the World’s Most Extraordinary Book
Charlot Mecklenburg had never anticipated that his conquest of Moldova, and his subsequent occupation, would receive official recognition from the Lionheart Empire.Not just any recognition—it was the highest possible acknowledgment.Crown Prince Baldwin Asa personally delivered the royal decree.There could be no more formal ceremony than this.Charlot vaguely understood that the Lionheart Empire’s willingness to acknowledge the matter was largely driven by a desire for a friendly neighbor at the border. The former Grand Duke of Moldova likely...
The Crown Prince of France - Chapter 142
Chapter 142: The Auguste 1788 Model Fire Cap RifleSoon after, the police academy instructors began their collective trial shooting of the fire cap rifles.Everyone was visibly excited after trying the new gun. They all understood what it meant to reduce the shooting time by three to four seconds.Joseph himself also fired a few rounds, only to feel the immense recoil, with the stock digging painfully into his shoulder. As for the loading speed, even Louis XVI could outpace him by miles.Hmm, the crown prince relies on his brain; as for shooting, p...
The Crown Prince of France - Chapter 141
Chapter 141: Every Opportunity Lies in Careful ObservationThe father and son exchanged knowing smiles, and without hesitation, they set off.As they exited the workshop, Joseph was about to head towards the marble courtyard when he saw Louis XVI turning towards the tea room.He quickly followed and, perplexed, asked, “Father, aren’t we heading to the shooting range?”“Indeed,” Louis XVI nodded. “While they prepare the carriage, we might as well have a cup of tea, enjoy some snacks, and perhaps change clothes.”Joseph then remembered t...
I Became a Tycoon During World War I - Chapter 156
Chapter 156: Charles's TroopsCharles's troops were divided into two parts, each about a thousand men, commanded by Estigny and Browning, respectively.They had indeed departed from Charles's tractor factory, with tanks, tricycles, troops, and ammunition all loaded onto a train bound for Paris.But the spies had not considered one thing: train carriages can be easily swapped.When the train arrived at the Paris train station, the carriages were secretly split into two sections inside the station and then attached to different locomotive...
I Became a Tycoon During World War I - Chapter 155
Chapter 155: This is All Part of Charles' SchemeIn the small town of Ferwo, the rain suddenly intensified, but this still couldn't extinguish the journalists' enthusiasm. The three of them, in pairs or groups, were discussing the current situation:"This place is over a hundred kilometers from Paris. The train should be about three hours away, right?""Not necessarily. It's wartime, and there are many trains on the track. They might be delayed!""Even so, they should still be able to make it by noon!"...Howe...
Chapter 384: What Should I Do After Accidentally Conquering a Nation? Urgent Advice Needed!
The curse of all transmigrators: overexcitement!After Charlot Mecklenburg unified Moldova, the thrill of victory faded, and he calmed down. Upon reflection, even he couldn’t understand how he had acted so impulsively.And how, exactly, had he actually conquered Moldova in the first place?If he had a system like other transmigrators, he would undoubtedly have posted a question immediately:“What should I do after accidentally conquering a country? Online now, urgent, urgent, URGENT…”Oh, and the system must include a social feature for situ...
Chapter 383: Sixteen Cities of Moldova Vote to Pledge Loyalty to Miss Annie Bretagne
As a transmigrator, Charlot Mecklenburg had no patience for the rigid rules and customs of this world’s aristocracy. He did something daring: under the cover of night, he "packed up" Baron Dakis and his entire family, shipping them off to Cappadocia, and announced that the baron’s lands and assets would be distributed among the residents of Sigma Castle. Simultaneously, he declared that there would never again be any taxes!While his announcement didn’t inspire overwhelming enthusiasm, as skepticism lingered among the people, it st...
The Crown Prince of France - Chapter 140
Chapter 140: The Real Killing WeaponThe current situation in France is that, as long as the interest on debts can be paid, they are thankful for God's mercy. As for repaying the principal? Ha, that's something not even dared to dream of.Joseph shook his head with a troubled expression, thinking that it would be nice if all the banks that loaned to the government suddenly went bankrupt...In addition to the debt interest, another major "bleeding point" for France is taxation.Currently, the French government has delegated most of i...
The Crown Prince of France - Chapter 139
Chapter 139: Expanding Sources and Cutting CostsThe famous American five-star general MacArthur once said, "The sky is vast, the earth is vast, but Father is the greatest." The summons of Father is certainly the highest priority.Joseph helplessly looked towards the carriage and signaled to Eymond, "Let's go to the Palace of Versailles first. We can look at it in detail once we're on the carriage.""Yes, Your Highness."Before long, several carriages left the Bureau of Industrial Planning.Inside the carriage, Joseph...

Chapter 154: Charles Has No SecretsThe next day, the newspapers in Paris were filled with news about Charles:"The parliament has decided to appoint Charles as the commander—can he create another miracle?""If Charles successfully recaptures Lafox, it will not only prove his own abilities but also signify that his tanks have defeated the enemy!""Even France's tactical theories could be rewritten because of this!"...And it wasn't just France. Media outlets from the UK, the US, Russia, and even Germany turned their...
I Became a Tycoon During World War I - Chapter 153
Chapter 153: The Price TrapGallieni glanced at the price list. A hand grenade was priced at 2 francs, and 10,000 grenades were only 20,000 francs. Without a second thought, he signed his name.He didn’t realize he had already fallen into the price trap set by Charles:The production cost of a wooden-handled grenade was very cheap. At the same time, Saint-Étienne had an established supply of gunpowder, woodworking, and molding lines. It wouldn’t take long to quickly assemble a grenade factory by piecing these resources together.Therefore, the...
Chapter 382: I Offer You a Choice—Swear Loyalty or Die
Felix Robin couldn’t hold back his frustration and cursed, “Get lost!”Charlot Mecklenburg urged his demonflame horse to retreat. When he returned to the three Saint-ranked subordinates by his side, he indeed saw a convoy emerge from the group. Felix Robin had the convoy taken over and withdrew with his bandits, not forgetting to give Charlot a long, sarcastic middle finger as he departed.Charlot sensed that something was off about the whole situation. Before he could ponder further, a eunuch arrived and said, “Princess Axo Axel summons ...
Chapter 381: This Bandit Crew Belongs to Felix Robin
Herolf, the Golden Ram, stared at the bandits' banner for a moment, hesitated, and then spoke softly: "This group of bandits belongs to Felix Robin."Charlot Mecklenburg asked, "Is there something special about this guy?"The Black Dragon covered his eyes and replied, "Lord Mecklenburg! He’s Zimourman Axel Robin’s uncle."Charlot was visibly taken aback. After a while, he muttered, "In other words, he’s not here to rob us?""Well, unless he’s here to abduct his sister-in-law?""What should we d...
The Crown Prince of France - Chapter 138
Chapter 138: The Victory of the PotatoWith the commander of the Guard Legion, Berthier, announcing the start of the joint exercise, both the military and the police immediately marched toward the center of the training ground, led by their respective commanders.The exercise had been carefully planned, consisting of four components: drills, shooting, marching, and combat simulation.The first exercise to be conducted was the drill.The Guard Legion, with its years of military experience, was supposed to have an advantage in this regard. However, t...
The Crown Prince of France - Chapter 137
Chapter 137: The Crown Prince's Guard RegimentThe more than two thousand officers and soldiers on the Mars Camp were feeling a bit light-headed.A few days ago, they had thought of themselves as the most unfortunate people in the world, inexplicably caught up in the Crown Prince's assassination attempt, subsequently undergoing investigation, and even fearing they would be exiled.But now, they felt like the luckiest people in the world, having mysteriously joined a new legion and were now being reviewed by the Crown Prince. The Crown Prin...
I Became a Tycoon During World War I - Chapter 152
Chapter 152: Command AuthorityHaving Charles use the "Saint-Chamond" in battle was a double-edged strategy:If Charles won, it would prove that the problem wasn't with the "Saint-Chamond" tank, but rather with the person using it.If Charles lost, the myth of his invincibility would collapse in an instant.Gallieni, of course, knew James's intentions. He answered calmly, without a hint of sarcasm, even sounding serious and respectful: "Sir, please believe me: if the 'Saint-Chamond' can reach the enemy's tren...

Chapter 151: Intelligence from Party StrugglesParis City Defense Headquarters, Operations Department.Gallieni had his men hang a large-scale map of Lafox, located on the northern wall, right beside his desk. The map meticulously marked every section of trench and troop deployment discovered by reconnaissance.Gallieni stood before the map, his mood heavy, and said to Charles: "These are all hard-earned with the lives and blood of our brave warriors!"Charles replied, "Actually, this information could have been obtained using airplanes...
Chapter 380: The Countess Is Zimourman’s Aunt!
Princess Axo remained silent for a long time before sighing softly and saying, "I must admit, I envy you two young people."Annie gently leaned into Grandma Saint Karen's embrace, her shoulders trembling slightly. She was deeply moved, tears flowing down her delicate cheeks like a stream as she softly murmured, "My Charlot Mecklenburg."Grandma Saint Karen tenderly stroked Annie's back, sharing her heartfelt emotions.After a moment, Princess Axo Axel declared, "As a princess of the Fars Empire, I grant Lord Mecklenburg...
Chapter 379: She Is Zimourman Axel Robin’s Mother?
The Black Dragon shook his head, feeling the situation was somewhat absurd. As a beastman, it was peculiar for him to recount the royal secrets of the Fars Empire to anyone, let alone a Fars native.The old lizardman cleared his throat and began, “Back then, Princess Axo favored Count Gallanord. However, Julius Axel VI wanted her to marry his childhood friend, the son of Duke Robin—Felix Robin!”Charlot’s expression immediately filled with disbelief, and he exclaimed, “She’s Zimourman Axel Robin’s mother?”The Black Dragon nodded g...
