Although setting off fireworks is just a waste of money, Duke Mann is not a French dignitary who is short of money. Even he turned blue because of the two girls... Well, why didn't I see it? The artistic girl and Felet

Leah has a talent for playing with fire. Maybe if you give them a piece of Warcraft, you will find that they have an astonishing talent for fire magic.

After attending Duke Mann's banquet, I quickly contacted the Imperial Embassy in France.

With little information, I quickly received the information shared by the embassy.

Even though Versailles was such a glamorous place, despite the illusion deliberately constructed by the French, France was actually ready to mobilize for war, and the first team to set off had already made great gains!

Surprisingly, this time the French's target of using troops was not Austria, but the Netherlands!

What a man who openly repairs the plank road but secretly spends time in Chencang!

The army gathered, and soldiers were stationed at the Austrian and French borders. Everyone thought that the French were going to send troops to Austria, which had lost most of its elite and was extremely weak in a short period of time. Unexpectedly, a large number of French troops fired a false shot at the French-Austrian border, leaving behind

The lower division had 20,000 troops and the main force was 60,000. The more than 20,000 French troops gathered at the Sedan Fortress. A total of 80,000 troops were all sent into the Netherlands. Two of the seven Netherlands provinces were defeated in less than a short time.

They were all destroyed within a month.

Faced with such news, I have very complicated emotions.

It turns out that the history of that century was that France could not restrain its greed for the wealth of the Netherlands and launched several consecutive invasions against the Netherlands. The British used their strength to defeat a generation of sea coachmen.

Basically, nothing was obtained from the corpse. This had to be regarded as France's biggest decision-making mistake in the seventeenth century, and it was also one of the series of factors that led to France's defeat in the following century.

Now, although France is also attacking the Netherlands, the external environmental factors are fundamentally different. When the French were attacking the Netherlands, even though Austria was overwhelmed by the Turkish army of hundreds of thousands, it still had tens of thousands of elite troops.

, the situation is not so bad that the Swedes will eat up all the elites that one country can mobilize. In the end, we can only rely on Rome to send troops to suppress the situation.

The point of. And the Swedes, even if they were trapped in the first Northern War, they were not so injured and bones as today.

Licking its wounds. Prussia, which was originally responsible for assisting the Protestant princes of the Netherlands until Austria intervened, was devastated by the war against the rebellion.

In other words, this was a one-on-one contest between the Netherlands and France. The three best allies of the Netherlands fought among themselves. One was beaten by the Swedes, and the other was beaten by the Romans.

People were defeated. There was also a Swedish person who was defeated and he was not much better. As for England, the political situation in the country was basically paralyzed due to religious issues. There was no way to send troops to contain the Dutch navy like in the past world. It's just...

No matter how powerful the Dutch navy is, what's the point? Battleships can't sail onto land.

I was so confused that I couldn’t think of a reason, and then the grand celebration ceremony held by the French in Versailles arrived. Originally, I was dismissive of the new weapon unveiling ceremony that the French had staged, but I heard that

This weapon has been used on the battlefield in the Netherlands. I followed him there.

In the crowded Palace of Versailles, with countless exclamations in my ears, I looked at the slowly rising thing.

I can't help but open my mouth wide...

Want it so much!

"Fa Fa Fa Fa...Have the Chinese taken over the sky!!!" Morris looked desperate.

Feletelia, with blurred eyes, stretched out her hand to grab the floating objects in the sky, but she only grasped the air: "I didn't expect that the dream of human beings flying in the sky would be achieved by the French first. It's unbelievable. They

How is it possible to make that round thing rise into the sky?"

"Yeah, I really want to stand up there and see what's in the sky. Is it heaven, or a dream, or the future?" Pennywise's eyes were also confused.

"The territory of the sky must not be occupied by the French!" Maurice muttered frantically and turned to leave. I subconsciously grabbed him.

"What are you going to do?"

"Destroy that thing, or..." Maurice glanced sideways at the French king who had climbed to the top of his sight, and made a thing to wipe his neck, "Kill him!"

"Don't mess around." I held down this impulsive guy and raised my eyes to the sky again.

The reason why this thing makes us lose our temper so much is the balloon.

The huge sphere floated in the sky, and the golden paint painted it into a sun that radiated thousands of rays of light, completely blocking the sun in the sky.

I can't see what Louis XIV's expression looks like in the sky, but below Versailles, where all the French nobles and ambassadors and dignitaries from various countries are gathered, there are not a few people who are looking crazy because of the fact that the French King has ascended to heaven, and many people are even more crazy.

He raised his fists in the air with fanatical eyes and shouted words such as "God bless my king" and "God bless France".

It is estimated that at this moment, Louis in this world is already equal to God.

"I don't know what it feels like to do it on top..."

I turned my head speechlessly, and saw a wife with eyes full of yearning, Wen Dier...

But soon, I discovered that there were actually not a few women who had thoughts like hers, because her words resonated with many women swallowing their saliva.

Facing their reactions, I can only describe my current mood with "Holy shit". Although this is indeed a good idea, is this the difference between men and women?

Men's reaction is to use this thing in fighting, but women use it as a sex object in bed to arouse the interest between men and women.

"I just don't know if what is shown in front of us is the only one. If it is the only one, it would be a pity."

Balloons are not difficult to make. If this was just a hot air balloon made by burning matches and using hot air to float, I wouldn't be so surprised. But what I saw with my eyes was completely enclosed in a spherical object without any flames.

There were traces of burning underneath, which was far beyond my imagination.

Are there any time travelers who specialize in science and engineering?

This was my first thought.

But later, when Louis XIV rewarded those who had made meritorious deeds, and saw the large group of gray-haired old men accepting the rewards with tears streaming down their faces, I minimized the possibility of time-travelers.

The balloon that can rise to the sky without burning hot air is obviously the scientific achievement of the French after untold hardships.

So, does this mean that France’s technological level has surpassed that of the Empire?

This is extremely possible.

Learning that France’s scientific research level surpasses that of Rome is probably the worst news I have ever heard since I came to this world.

"what to do?"

Later, in the carnival where most of the people went to chat with the balloon developers and listen to their bragging, Maurice and I hid, and he rubbed his hands, confused, "How about setting up a cannon and shooting it into the sky like you said?"

go?"

"Maybe we can steal these secrets." I firmly opposed Morris's idea. When the cannon was set up, you thought it was fireworks. Besides, what about the diplomatic disputes afterwards?

"Well, yes, we can steal it. I will take people to cover their faces. Then break into the French Academy of Sciences and ask them to hand over all the information!" Morris said with a beaming expression.

I said with an embarrassed face: "You call that robbing, not stealing!"

"We already have everything on hand anyway. Does it make any difference?"

"The difference is huge. Robbery is done when everyone knows about it, but stealing is done when even the French don't know about it!"

"Then how do you plan to steal?"

I glanced at Constance, who was surrounded by a large group of men: "Maybe this will fall on her shoulders."

"That woman?"

"Well, that's the woman."

Constance is a vain woman. She took the initiative to seduce me several times for the title of Princess of Rome, so it is not impossible to use her to steal French military secrets. You must know that her father, the Duke of Orleans, is an aristocratic faction in the court.

Getting in and out of the French Academy of Sciences is not a problem. There are so many people who want to find financial assistance from him, and it is easier to meet those scientific researchers in the name of conversation and study.

It’s just that doing this would be disrespectful to the wife!

"This is for Rome!"

"You can do it just for Rome? Besides, that's the person my father named me to marry!"

"Okay, what do you want?"

After careful consideration, based on the most basic principle of marrying Wendel, my plan was to seduce Constance with the title of Princess of Rome. The only difference was that I would just throw it away after using it with the French chick. Although it is very uncomfortable.

Shame, but this is

There is nothing I can do about it. After all, I have promised Wen Dill that I will marry her, and I prefer married women to French girls. I choose the lesser of the two evils. For this kind of betrayal of conscience, I also

You can only choose the one with less guilt.

"This seems to be more cruel than what I just suggested."

"This is for Rome!"

"Okay, it sounds good."

I had an idea, so the next step was to explain it to my wife. In order to appease her, I could only explain that the reason why I insisted on coming to Versailles was that it was Caesar's mission, and Caesar's mission was to steal French scientific research secrets.

.

How do you feel when you tell your future wife in a subtle way that I want to pick up another woman in front of you?

Originally, I didn't know, but now I know, if I was given another choice, I would never want to experience it again in my life.

After waiting in sweat for a few seconds, Wen Dier looked a little doubtful, but accepted my lie: "How do you want to steal those secrets through that princess? Get her heart? Look over there, over there.

There are many French nobles surrounding her, are you sure you can break through the siege among so many people?"

"I think so."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"I think it's a hero saving the beauty." I sighed. To be honest, I don't have much time to waste here, and I don't want to have too much entanglement with those French nobles who were treated as moths in Versailles.

Wen Dier smiled and said: "A hero saves a beauty? Well, you seem to be very suitable for playing such a role! Leave it to me!"

Leave it to you?

What is this?

I didn't react at the moment...

Then, at night in Versailles, the Palace Theater of Versailles, which could seat more than 600 people, caught fire!

Damn…

I looked at Wendil dumbfounded: "Did you set this fire?"

The wife pursed her lips and smiled but said nothing...

Damn it... the person who has truly reached the deepest level in the talent of fire magic is actually the wife who used to have sex in bed all the time. It’s true that a person cannot be judged by his appearance! (To be continued...)
