The establishment of the Roman Empire was not achieved overnight, and there were many things to prepare. Taking Istanbul was a process for Livi to make his Roman emperor crown more legitimate!

As for the original French Wehrmacht and the newly trained brainwashing army, they will become the royal guards of the Roman Empire after the founding of the Roman Empire.

No distinction between nation, language, or culture, as long as you are willing to be loyal to Li Wei, you can join the Roman Empire Royal Guards!

This is nominally breaking the boundaries of the army directly under Li Wei.

From then on, there will be no so-called foreign legions.

Although this change in name has not changed much to Li Wei's rule, it is a benign signal to the outside world.

It also demonstrates that Li Wei is no longer limited to establishing a French ruling system, and that all ethnic groups and populations can become Li Wei's people!

Rome has a very high orthodox significance in Europe!

The Russian Empire next door has always insisted that it is the legal heir to the Eastern Roman Empire!

The Orthodox Church split from Catholicism because it relies on the legal system of the Eastern Roman Empire.

The other work of preparing for the establishment of the Roman Empire was naturally done by relevant departments. What Li Wei needs to guide now is how to take over Istanbul.

So, Levi attracted Aristotle, who was far away in Greece.

Summoned in the name of formal diplomacy!

After the end of the Fourth Anti-French War, Aristotle did not disband the Greek Defense Forces under the instruction of Levi, and even the order of national mobilization was not cancelled. Today, Greece is still constantly recruiting young Greeks to join the army!

It completely ignores the damage to Greece's economy and agricultural production. Of course, it is too late to recover now...

The Aristotle government was quite enlightened to give up. Of course, the Greek officials also knew that no matter how bad the food shortage in the Greek Republic was, they would not be hungry.

Not to mention, the supporters behind Aristotle are the Holy Alliance and the terrifying tyrant Li Wei. Who dares to compete with each other?

Even if the Greek people rebel, those who are officials can flee to the Balkans next door with Aristotle. Could it be that the army composed of Greek mobs can defeat the Holy Alliance?

It's impossible to die!

However, Levi obviously didn't want to let Greece go so easily. Didn't he know that Greece is now a powder keg, and the explosion time limit is next winter, or is it going further?

Taking advantage of the fact that the Greek Republic has not been ignited by revolutionary ideas, the correct solution is to release the self-destructive fuel of the Greek Republic on another battlefield!

So Aristotle came to Vienna and met Levi!

After Aristotle met Levi, the first question was:

"Your Majesty, I don't understand. I can make Greece better serve you. Why do you want me to turn Greece into this?

Does Your Majesty do not trust my abilities?"

Aristotle had too much confusion. After the decisive battle, the Greek Republic did have a crisis of destruction, but it was just a crisis.

Everyone knows that it will take at least half a year for the British to re-mobilize their troops!

In the past six months, the British troops in those ports have no ability to fully occupy the Greek region.

Aristotle could have taken it slowly without the use of the current national mobilization method that hurts others and himself, and drag the Greek Republic into the countdown to the food shortage.

Levi was not surprised to hear Aristotle's questions.

Li Wei explained slowly:

"Aristotle, what thoughts do you rely on to be the President of Greece?"

Aristotle was stunned and instantly understood the intention of Levi's order!

When Li Wei saw Aristotle stunned, she did not continue to wait for his answer, and continued to say to herself:

"Since the independence of the Greek Republic, liberal nationalist ideas from France began to spread in Greece. Your return and presidency have made liberal nationalist ideas intensified in the territory of the Greek Republic!

Manids of the General Administration of Military Intelligence sent people to conduct investigations. When you were in power for nearly a year, the entire Greek Republic, even farmers in remote mountain villages, had heard of liberal nationalism and had an uncontrollable yearning for this idea.

After all, no one likes the feeling of the present and the attraction of freedom and equality to them is unparalleled.

I, who was born in France, knows that feeling very well!”

"Your Majesty, it's not me!

I did not promote liberal nationalism in the Greek Republic.

I just do what I should do, consolidate the power in my hands…”

"Aristotle, I have no intention of blaming you, I have no doubt of your loyalty to me, and I know that you have indeed not taken the initiative to promote dangerous liberal nationalism.

Because you know, for the vast territory I rule now, liberal nationalism is the root of independence and division!

But, Aristotle, you cannot change a well-known fact!

You became president through the revolution brought about by liberal nationalist ideas.

Your army, your ministers, and your people are all aware of this, and even the political philosophy of the Legion of Glory you promote is filled with traces of liberal nationalist ideas."

"Your Majesty, I didn't think so much at that time. I just wanted my soldiers to understand why they fought and thus improve their combat effectiveness. Otherwise, the Greek army would not have the courage to resist the British."

“Aristotle, I said, you don’t need an explanation.

I'm just explaining a fact to you.

Liberal nationalism has been deeply rooted in the Greek Peninsula and cannot be eradicated no matter how we promote it!

Liberal nationalist thought is the revolutionary idea of ​​independence among all ethnic groups, and revolution is a spiritual plague that will spread!

Maybe you can control the Greeks to be my help, but can you still enclose the entire Greek border with a wall to prevent the Greeks from contacting the outside world?

As long as people outside enter the Greek peninsula to do business, whether the Greeks travel outside or wander, any form of population movement will regain the liberal nationalist ideas that they believe and even appreciate through the mouths of the Greeks, spreading in the Balkans and even the entire Europe!

Why did the Lindenwan Brotherhood achieve such a huge success?

It’s not how strong my support behind the scenes is, but the ability of liberal nationalist thought derived from the French Revolution to be too terrifying!

If I were an ordinary person, I could not refuse the content of liberal nationalist ideas.

Don’t those poor people who struggle under the line of food and clothing all day want to be on par with those rich people?

It’s a pity that I am an emperor, a ruler and a conqueror!

What I want to establish is a unified Great Roman Empire, and I don’t want to run around all day in the battle to suppress local rebellions!

Aristotle, you should be very clear that the poor cannot kill them. Once liberal nationalist ideas take root in the minds of all poor people, can my empire maintain stable unity?

Do you know how many ethnic groups, how many people in the Roman Empire I am about to establish, speak different languages, use different words, and worship different cultural customs?

Now, these differences are just to make the foolish civilians think that they are geographical differences, they do not have deep-rooted national prejudice, and do not understand what independence is good for them.

but!

The Greeks spread the idea of ​​liberal nationalism, and the poor in Europe understood that they spoke different languages ​​because they were from different ethnic groups!

The same nation should be united, seek independence and independence, and be ruled by people from other nations, which is a shame and oppression for them!

Then there will be countless people who will join the various ethnic groups of the guerrilla revolutionary party one after another, take up weapons and resist my rule.

By then, except for the French mainland, all ethnic groups in the world would not agree with me, the French emperor, let alone be sincerely loyal to me.

This is why I killed and even exterminated the Greeks!

I want the young and strong Greeks to die on the battlefield, and the elderly, weak, women and children of Greeks to die in famine. In this way, the spread of liberal nationalist ideas can be physically eliminated."

"Your Majesty, I can understand your behavior. It may be very difficult to exterminate the Greek people."

"No, I am not trying to destroy the Greek nation, but I am just trying to destroy liberal nationalism in the Greek nation.

When the Greeks do not survive one ten, your management will become easier. You can concentrate the majority of the surviving Greeks in easy-to-manage cities and surrounding areas, and then use uninterrupted brainwashing public opinion propaganda to wash away liberal nationalist ideas from their minds.

Then, I can also migrate to the Greek Peninsula to the most conservative and loyal people of the foreign and royal culture. When people around me no longer believe in liberal nationalist ideas, all those who spread this idea are listed on the list of must-kill, naturally, this revolutionary idea will not spread in Europe.

The premise for this is that the Greek population must be reduced to a certain level, otherwise no one can eliminate a thought they agree with in a short period of time.

Over time, revolutionary ideas will ferment and will explode in Europe!

From now on, the textbooks and textbooks that started in primary school will emphasize the importance of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and the concept of nation will be reduced. Everyone is the people and descendants of the Roman Empire. Everyone has different languages ​​and is just the difference in local dialects, not the difference in ethnic groups, and needs to be treated differently!

National independence is an act of treason, and nine clans must be destroyed!

Aristotle, if you agree with my point of view, you will be the president of Greece in your last year.

Next year, when the Greek famine breaks out, it will inevitably cause chaos in the people. Then you will do everything possible to suppress the rebellion.

The fastest way to solve famine is to reduce the mouth of eating.

After the verdict, the Greek Peninsula should no longer be able to resist foreign invaders. At that time, I will bring Greece into rule and you can continue to be your Greek governor."

"Your Majesty, I will do my best to recruit all the Greek young men for you and send them to the cruel battlefield of Istanbul."

"A good enlightenment, the Ottoman knife is quite sharp. I believe the Greeks' flesh and blood are enough to get us to the top of Istanbul and drive the arrogant and rude pagan Sultan back to his hometown."

At the end of 1803, Li Wei wore all the crowns of vassals under the "persuading" of many senior officials of the vassal states.

Lay the foundation for the next Roman emperor ascendance.

The specific titles are as follows:

Levi Charles - Emperor of the French Empire

The lords of the Piedmont and Savoy areas (these two pieces of land were not traditional French territory, but were later annexed through war of aggression)
