Napoleon's Engineer

In 1799, a mechanical engineer opened his eyes in the Egyptian desert and became Napoleon's adjutant. At that time, France's entire possessions were: tens of thousands of remnant soldiers trapped in the desert, a few old cannons dragged by mules and horses, and General Bonaparte who was about to abandon the army and sneak back to Paris alone. He stopped him. From that day on, the cartridge case of the breech-loading rifle was formed in his hands, the shaft seal of the propeller was modified to the seventh version without leaking under his eyes, and the steam locomotive ran out of the first wisp of smoke on the railway track. He helped change the provisions of the Code over and over again until even the peasants could understand them, and he was so strict with the articles of the Bank of France that the bankers could no longer take advantage of them. Napoleon wanted Europe. He wanted a France worthy of Napoleon. From the deserts of Egypt to the palace of Paris, from the slipway of Marseille to the naval port of Toulon, the age of iron and fire is coming. And the engineer from the future, with a walnut-handled pencil sharpener in his pocket, is reforging this era.
