Life of Being a Crown Prince in France

In France, just entered Versailles, with the identity of the Crown Prince. The only problem was that the reigning king was Louis XVI, and in two years, he'd be "snapped"... Since I couldn't rely on dear old dad and the ministers, I had to take matters into my own hands to reform France! First, make a bit of easy money to solve the financial crisis that had plagued the nation for hundreds of years. Then give a harsh lesson to those nobles harboring treacherous intentions and plotting to seize power. Next, confiscate the Church's abundant lands, acquired without lifting a finger. Industry, technology, agriculture, commerce—I will all advance side by side, I, the greatest Crown Prince in France! That year, when the little British struggled with the allied forces at his borders, I simply took over his little island. That year, my sword pointed at all of Europe, the magnificent feat Napoleon didn't accomplish, I will achieve!!!

Chapter 75 Disruptive Weapon

Joseph briefly explained, "This gun will adopt an entirely new ignition mechanism. The loading speed and power will be significantly improved over the current Flintlock Gun, and it will also have better resistance to rain and a lower misfire rate."

Louis XVI's eyes shone even brighter. Even those who didn't understand military affairs could tell that this new gun would have a revolutionary impact on warfare!

In fact, he was quite aware that all over France, people were talking behind his back, calling him "inept" and "not dedicated to his duties."

He too wished to be a king revered and worshiped by his subjects like the Sun King, but running a country sometimes really depended on one's natural talent.

And he just happened to lack that talent.

But gun-making was his forte—because of his familiarity with precision mechanics, many gunsmiths of the era came from the Watchmaker's Guild.

He was a master craftsman certified by both the Locksmith Guild and the Watchmaker's Guild.
