May 20th, 1835. At the Palace of Versailles.
Napoleon II has been reading the reports from Egypt. According to it, they are starting site inspections for the construction of the Suez Canal that will connect the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea. Also, the Egyptian government has granted territorial concessions to the French Empire, which means the controlled coastal cities of Egypt in the Arabian Peninsula are now under French control.
But it would take weeks for the French officials to arrive and secure the territory.
Another report from Marshal Davout confirmed that he had successfully defeated the Tunisian forces that had resisted French advances along the frontier and captured their capital city.
"So the Northern African region is slowly being absorbed by the French Empire huh?" Napoleon II commented as he read further on the report.
