Under the meticulous guidance of Jerome Bonaparte, Minister Dico finally saw the light.
Soon after Jerome Bonaparte left, Minister Dico contacted the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, hoping the Ministry could assist the navy in selling a batch of "obsolete" warships.
These so-called obsolete warships were nominally outdated, but in reality, they were only one generation behind the ironclads.
Once any country equipped itself with this battleship, its naval combat capability could be significantly enhanced.
To ensure the successful sale of the warships, Minister Dico also "bundled" some navy officers with the fleet for sale, even coming up with "packages."
At the same time, he spent a substantial amount of money in many countries promoting the idea that warships were a symbol of national prestige, that large meant beautiful, and such rhetoric indeed fooled many countries into the pitfall of purchasing warships.
