In London, the fog finally dissipated but was shrouded in the night, and the Thames was quiet.

Under the famous London Bridge, on the deck of a slowly moving sloop, Nelson and his adjutant Captain Ross were sitting around, chatting, drinking, and tasting women, talking about the topics that each man gathered together to like, but at the end, the atmosphere was a bit depressing. At the moment of supper, a large table of delicious dishes were arranged on the long table in front of him: oxtail soup, mushroom butter chicken slices, roasted lamb saddles, and cheese crab covers. Unfortunately, Nelson, who likes food, never put a flip and asked Captain Ross to drink with him, which made the hungry adjutant feel a little uncomfortable.

However, Captain Ross was just hungry and did not feel any dissatisfaction. Just this afternoon, his father, General Nelson's immediate superior, and the British Cabinet Secretary, issued a cabinet notice: to remove Nelson from his position as commander of the Mediterranean Fleet, and to be transferred to the waters of Britain and Ireland tomorrow to guard the local area. The notice did not explain any reason, but everyone in London knew that it was to punish Nelson for privately leading the Mediterranean Fleet to evacuate the battlefield, regardless of the safety of the coalition forces and their allies, causing more than 10,000 coalition officers and soldiers who stayed on the periphery to surrender without fighting, and more than 10,000 French nobles and priests died tragically under the butcher gun. This was a compromise plan to coordinate the interests of the top leaders and quell the pressures of all parties.

But for Nelson himself, everything was unfair. Captain Ross knew clearly that due to the loss of the little Gibrotto Fortress, the various highlands of the Lassein Peninsula became the throat of the French army to hold the port of Toulon. With the help of powerful shore cannons, any ship that wants to enter the port can be threatened. If the maritime power is used to fight against the fortress cannon, both will be defeated. The ending is that the Blue Legion with constant support will force Nelson to leave the large anchorage with the broken fleet, instead of taking the initiative and returning to Pokrol Island without any loss.

What's wrong with those fleeing French nobles and letting Toulon butchers kill a large number of more. Over the years, the French royalists in London have either eaten, drank, had fun, had illusory dreams, and achieved nothing; they just went to the parliament and the cabinet every day to speak out and ask for money, as if the British Empire had become their money printing machine. If they were also French trousers, they would also use bayonets to cut the throats of the waste. Of course, the nobles in their homes are not much better, these days, the streets and alleys,

The London poor people who were constantly rallied were gathered together in groups of three or five to deliver speeches, protesting the cruel exploitation of the new nobles and factory owners, and demanding increased wages and welfare benefits. Fortunately, these people were only a few of the citizens, and were very disunited. Apart from the frequent blockage of urban traffic, they did not cause much trouble. Since they no longer publicly supported the French Revolution, the cabinet and parliament only asked the London police to maintain good order, and the bill of suppression by force was not passed.

Captain Ross' idea was due to his own personal experience. Before the Great Revolution, Ross studied in the French Army Academy and witnessed the outbreak of the revolution with many non-French people. He felt the powerful power of the people's movement. Under the influence of Paine, he was young and energetic and secretly participated in the Jacobins activities and became one of his early members. Unfortunately, Ross's mother, the daughter of a new British aristocrat, was afraid that her son would destroy the honor of the family and affect her husband's future in the cabinet. Soon after, she sent someone to recruit him, and since then she cut off contact with the revolutionary France. She was later sent by her father to Nelson and came to Toulon as the commander-in-chief of the British fleet and the enemy of France.

The adjutant-in-law, drinking cocktails without saying a word, seemed to be hesitating about something, without even realizing the feelings of his adjutant. Captain Ross began to hate the damn Toulon butcher, the devil Andrew. It was him who used Nelson's letters to fabricate lies and exaggerate them to provoke conflicts between the Army and the Admiralty, created political turmoil at the upper level, and made people with ulterior motives publicly criticize Nelson for having strange intentions. The ignorant imperial cabinet actually removed the command of the general under the pressure of conservative aristocrats and public opinion, which almost lost the fighting spirit of a fearless excellent general...

Just when Captain Ross was indignant, Nelson stopped pouring wine for himself, put down the cup in his hand, and calmly said to the adjutant beside him: "Captain, guess what is our friend, General Andrew busy with?"

The general's "friend" surprised Ross. He could not understand that his superior would use this word to describe the Oriental Satan. He couldn't speak, but just looked at Nelson in surprise.

"Haha, don't be surprised, my adjutant." Nelson understood what Captain Ross was thinking and continued: "For any excellent enemy, he will also be a friend of Nelson. This is my custom with your father. Although you have not been with me for a long time, you should also know. As for the previous unhappiness, it is just a long-lost impulse, which has passed."

"But Andrew is a butcher, a demon, a despicable villain, he..." Captain Ross tried his best to refute, because his father, the empire's naval minister, was also disturbed by him, and he ran around to deal with the pressure from all sides every day.

But the general did not let his adjutant continue to declare, and said, "You are wrong. Is Andrew an enemy worthy of your and my respect, butcher, demon or despicable, all of which are the descriptions of fear in the heart. Hehe, when it comes to butcher, do you know the history of his mother's family's success? 100 years ago, your great-grandfather, Lord Kiber, the British Governor in Ireland at that time, was the empire, and for himself and his family, he successively seized hundreds of thousands of acres of local fertile land for enclosure and grazing to obtain gold-like wool. Yes, he is rich, your family is rich, but the population of Ireland is half, and the 1.5 million is only less than 800,000." Here, Nelson used the general's instructions to stop the adjutant's rebuttal again and continued his topic.

"Devil, this should be a common word for Catholics. You are a Puritan, a sympathizer of the French Revolution. For another name, such as Rousseau's believers, Eastern revolutionaries, etc. Andrew never exerts violence against his soldiers and people. His killings are all traitors he thinks. On this point, I agree very much. Just like Nelson, I will never forgive any enemy in Britain, including the Irish, in terms of ruthlessness, I still lack him much."
