I'm the Dauphin in France

Chapter 1064 Arrogant Nobles

These supplies are indeed nothing to the wealthy Britain.

But at the same time, Britain also had more than 30,000 troops fighting in Portugal.

The newly occupied colony at the Cape of Good Hope was also constantly harassed by the Boers. The East India Company had invested more than 4 pounds to strengthen its defenses, and more than British troops were tied up in the Cape.

In addition, the British also gave a "big gift package" - diving into the chaos in the Caribbean to stir up trouble.

Joseph was certain that Britain now had absolutely no remaining strength to intervene in wars in other regions.

Then, the plan that you have prepared for a long time can be implemented.

He put on his coat in no time and said to Hermand, "Please send Monsieur Berthier to see me immediately."

The Chief of General Staff hurried over when Joseph walked out of the gate of the Palace of Versailles.

Joseph gestured toward the carriage: "We'll talk on the way."

"Yes, Your Highness."

At one side, Alexandra, dressed in a light purple dress and a lobster hat designed by Queen Mary herself, looked at several ministers getting into the Crown Prince's car with some resentment, and she had to turn around and get into the one behind.

The convoy starts.

Joseph first asked Talleyrand to briefly tell Berthier about the situation in various places, and then continued: "Last month, the Kabyle tribes retreated to Annaba.

“Next, we will provide assistance to the Berbers who identify themselves as Romans.

"The General Staff mobilized 4 men from the Tunisian Corps to Annaba, and then...

"At the same time, send 20,000 soldiers from the direct legion to land at the port of Bizerte and bypass the eastern side of the Atlas Mountains..."

Berthier quickly took note and made some suggestions for improvement. By the time the convoy drove out of the new district of Paris, the combat plan for North Africa had been basically finalized.

Lavalette added: "Your Highness, although the Mzab tribe in the northern desert has surrendered to Algiers, Kuroglu is eager to encircle and suppress the Kabylia tribe, so he has not completely controlled the area."

Joseph nodded: "The Security Bureau can try to contact the Mzab Ministry."

The sound of music from the Tuileries Palace came from afar, and the Crown Prince's motorcade slowly stopped. The Foreign Minister, the Chief of Staff and others got out of Joseph's car and saluted the Crown Princess who was approaching.

Alexandra smiled and nodded, then took the hand Joseph extended to her and got into the carriage that originally belonged to her.

"I'm sorry, there's something very important." Joseph smiled at her, "By the way, after the fashion week is over, I have a gift for you."

The little girl's originally somewhat resentful expression immediately disappeared, and she blinked her big eyes expectantly and asked, "Really? What is that?"

"I remember you once said that your favorite amusement park was the Garden of Eden in Paris."

Alexandra is 13 years old this year. She lowered her head in embarrassment when she heard this: "That was when I was a kid. I haven't been there for a long time."

Joseph said seriously: "The playground is not just for children. You can go there anytime and don't have to care about the opinions of the nobles."

Alexandra smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Her eyes suddenly lit up: "The gift you are talking about, is it the ticket to the Garden of Eden Amusement Park?"

Joseph smiled and waved his hand: “You are a super VIP there, you don’t need a ticket at all.”

The Crown Princess tilted her head and thought for a moment, her eyes brightening: "Could it be that you have built another amusement park?"

“Close, but not quite.”

"What the hell is that?"

Joseph pretended to be mysterious and said, "You'll know when we get there." The car stopped.

Emman opened the car door and another servant set up the small staircase.

Alexandra took Joseph's arm and stepped down from the carriage.

The handsome and tall Crown Prince and the beautiful and lovely Crown Princess immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

The music around them suddenly became louder, and more than a dozen children in formal dresses threw flower petals around the two of them.

The nobles standing on both sides of the road bowed in greeting.

When Joseph and Alexandra walked along the red carpet into the Tuileries Palace, the nobles immediately whispered: "The Dauphin is like a beautiful swan."

"That's a beautiful dress she has! I bet it'll be all over Paris soon."

"Yes. Look at her necklace. God, there are at least a hundred gems on it."

"It is said that the Crown Princess's dowry was more than two million francs, and she brought more than a dozen boxes of similar jewelry."

“I heard that jewelry designed by her is also on sale during the fashion week.”

"Really? Then I must take a look..."

However, there were also many people who looked at Alexandra's back with disdain: "Look at her, she thinks she has kept up with the fashion in Paris, ha!"

“No matter what she wears, she can’t get rid of the taste of Tatar aesthetics.”

"That's true. Did you know that last time I heard her say 'bass cello' instead of 'double bass'? Haha."

"Do you think she rinses her mouth with vodka before going to bed?"

"Haha, I think so."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is really crazy to marry a Tatar. This is simply a pollution of the Bourbon bloodline..."

They did not have any grudge against Alexandra. Most of them just had the arrogance of the French and the contempt for the "barbarians" of Eastern Europe.

Of course, there were also some people who were jealous and dissatisfied that "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was snatched away by a rude Slavic woman". In their hearts, even if they were just a small noble, they were more worthy of the Crown Prince than the "barbarian" princess.

Not to mention Alexandra who came from Eastern Europe, even Queen Marie, who was born in Habsburg, was looked down upon by these old French aristocrats.

Paris Fashion Week has been held for seven years. The whole process has long been very mature, so there were no twists and turns when Alexandra took over Queen Marie's opening speech for the first time.

With her elegance and beauty, as well as the clothes she wore worth more than 1 francs, she made this year's fashion week more lively than in previous years.

At around one o'clock in the afternoon, Joseph quietly slipped away with the Crown Princess.

In a slightly ordinary "Gem V"-shaped carriage, Alexandra looked at the loose white dress she had just changed into and asked in confusion: "Your Highness, where are we going?"

Joseph, who also changed into a black coat, smiled and said, "The gift I give you requires plain clothing to match it."

Alexandra became even more curious: "Just tell me, what is that?"

Outside the carriage came the sound of chiseling stones, and the shouts of the craftsmen, "Be careful! Turn left again!"

"Yes, 13mm, I'm sure."

Alexandra lifted the curtain and looked out, and saw a huge stone base more than three people tall standing by the road.

She turned around in surprise and asked Joseph, "Your Highness, is this the Arc de Triomphe?"
