The rumors about ghost ships on the Atlantic Ocean have become increasingly mysterious. Today, ghost ships are still appearing in the Azores Islands, but they appear in the Bermuda area the next day and actually arrive in the Bahamas the day after tomorrow.

Various versions of the dazzling sky were flying. Some people said it was the ghost ship Golden Deer led by Lord Drake, some people said it was the dead Spanish pirate Queen Catalina, and some people said it was the ghost ship of the black bearded Edward who died tragically...

The most glorious era of Atlantic pirates has long passed. Since the 18th century, when Britain gradually laid the foundation for the empire of the Sun-Down Empire, pirates have become thorns in the eyes of European countries. Under the continuous oppression of various countries, pirates at the end of the 19th century have long lost their past glory. Apart from choosing some small merchant ships that are easy to bully, no one dares to attack the Golden Channel on a large scale.

The era of pirates has declined. People do not believe that there are such powerful pirate forces in the Pacific that can inexplicably disappear in just one month, and no one can survive.

Gradually, public opinion began to move closer to the ghost ship, because only such an explanation could make sense. Who can attack merchant ships in a storm and fight regardless of their own dangers? The warships of that country can have the power of shore defense artillery, and the sound of the sound of the fire soared into the sky for ten miles.

What is even more surprising is the strange trajectory of this pirate ship, completely ignoring the influence of the monsoon belt. On the Atlantic Ocean, he is like an unrestrained ghost, and can even quickly transfer between islands under the wind and hunt down those innocent merchant ships.

Anything will change after three people's mouths. There will always be some people exaggerating or mixing random stories in conversation. Gradually, various versions of legends appeared on this ghost ship, which provides endless topics of talk to European newspapers.

For ordinary people, the ghost ship is just a story of relieving boredom after dinner, but for European governments, this is an absolute major threat, especially for France.

Napoleon III in the Mirror Hall had never been so angry. He had been in power in France for 16 years since he became emperor in 1852. During these 16 years, he was called a tyrant by countless French people as a single husband. Even other European royal families were polite on the surface but despised him in their hearts.

He endured it all. He used his victory after victory to prove that the Napoleon family was a well-deserved royal family in Europe, and they were no worse than those thousand-year-old royal families.

The Crimean War was won, and the war against Italy was also won. Although the expedition to Mexico did not achieve the expected goals, it also supported a pro-French government.

Of course, we cannot forget the victories in Africa, Asia, and the Indian Ocean. Although Annan of the Qing Dynasty still belongs to the Qing Dynasty in name, the French colonial forces had already controlled the southern plains of Annan, and the Qing Dynasty did not even dare to protest.

What made Napoleon III most happy was the Eastern Expedition to United Kingdom. It was so wonderful. The powerful dreamlike China could not even protect the capital. The Qing Dynasty summer palace in the Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens became the playground for French soldiers. The raging fire burned out the last trace of dignity of the ancient empire.

All of this was so wonderful. The continuous victory made Napoleon III still make the throne steady and solid as a rock amid countless protests.

But everything has changed. Since the Chinese came to Europe, France's national destiny seemed to have taken the wrong path at once. Although repeated failures are not a damning problem for France, the feeling of shame is real.

During countless sleepless nights, he seemed to be able to hear the whole Europeans whispering on the bed of Versailles, mocking Napoleon's failure, plotting to overthrow the Third Reich... That's right, Napoleon III could hear it, and could hear it clearly.

This is a mental illness, which he himself knows very well, but cannot be cured. He is very suspicious about people who are overly obsessed with power.

"France needs victory, and my rule also needs victory. The French who have experienced the Great Revolution are the most difficult people in the world to rule. If there is no victory to me, how many days can I rule this country?"

"Who can tell me why, why...Prussia dares to intervene in the battle for the succession of Spain's throne, why do the ragged warships in Pesmena dare to confront Dover and France in tough battles, why does a ghost ship appear on the Atlantic Ocean, and even use French ships to cut their knifes? Who told me why... "

The terror brought by the low roar was far greater than the hoarse roar. The attendants and guards in the hall of mirrors were almost terrified. None of them dared to take on this. His Majesty the Emperor has become more and more unhappy in the past two years, and no one can understand his temper.

At this moment, a familiar footstep sounded, and the attendants and guards all breathed a sigh of relief. When he came, the emperor's anger could be calmed down.

"Your Majesty, Knight Molière is asking for a visit." The attendant looked up and saw that Napoleon III did not speak, but waved his hand, and quickly turned his head to invite Molière into the Mirror Hall. The court knight who had returned from defeat in Asia walked to the emperor.

In the aristocratic circle in Paris, many rumors are about the suspicious intimacy between the emperor and Molière. It is said that the queen had vowed to kill Molière more than once, but who dared to touch His Majesty's favorite minister? The defeat in the expedition to Ryukyu was just a matter of scolding, and there was no practical punishment at all. Who could defeat such a favorite minister?

"I gave you enough time, manpower and money, and I also shared most of the pressure for you... Now tell me, what exactly you found, you'd better give me some valuable information, otherwise I will never provide you with any protection in the future."

Molière bowed respectfully and said, "As you wish, my dear Majesty... Your protection for me has been rewarded. Through my unremitting efforts, the fog in front of me has gradually faded..."

"Comprehensive analysis of multiple intelligences, I think the mysterious ghost ship on the Atlantic Ocean should belong to Ryukyu and Xiao Letian."

"Oh, why..." The Emperor of the Francis who got the answer finally calmed down. "Will the Chinese have such invincible warships? If they really had such strength, how could they be defeated so miserably in one foreign war after another?"

Molière's expression was very calm. The failure of the expedition to Ryukyu filed off all the edges and corners of his body like a file. The failure and setbacks actually sublimated him.
