We’re All Cucks, But Some Of Us Never Found the Right Chair | The Napoleonic Wars (Part 4/10)

30:57Trying to get through customs. Wagwam alaykum. you know as well brother i'm ali bonaparte yeah and egyptians are like really yeah and no this leads to the cairo uprising later in 1798 because he's taxing them uh and he basically does what he did in 1795 where he just fires artillery at them from point blank range they all go and hide in a mosque and then he um just fucking gets them out and starts shooting them yeah but the whole time what did he say he said god is too late you've begun now i will finish and he just starts blasting of the mosque. Yeah. Is this his biggest boo-boo on the sort of...

31:35The next boo-boo is when he invades Syria, right? And this is because he's trying to... Syria at this point is run by the Ottomans and the Ottomans are also... Are they fighting him as well at this point? But the Ottoman Empire is creaking at this point, right? It's not what it was. Is it? This is not its pomp, I don't think. I don't know. So he gets to Jaffa in what would now be... Israel? Maybe. And he gets two to three thousand Ottoman prisoners and they are executed entirely by bayonet or drowning in order to save gunpowder. Because they're all in the river, the corpses are in the river in the heat this triggers an outbreak of bubonic plague which runs through the French army thousands of soldiers have this desert blindness which we said so they're trying to retreat but they can't see where they're going they also try to drink the entire Nile by themselves that's not going to help and so Napoleon asks his physician to give the soldiers fatal doses of opium to euthanise them and the physician refuses saying my profession is to cure men not to kill them and so Napoleon you know there's also there's also a big siege at Acre he tries to take that It was the old crusader state.

32:57It is. Napoleon just fucks off. Yeah. He just flees. He's just like, all right then. I'll see ya. Stag doing. The stag's disappeared and then you're stuck speaking to the mutual friend. Yeah. You don't have nothing to do with that. Bye. Have you ever been on a stag where the stag maybe drunk too much and has collapsed early? And then you're like, well, we don't really know. The whole thing, we're all doing it to make sure he has. We were chucking dicks at the stag, but now it's like. who are we who are we I got cornered in a stag with two people having a debate about what you can and can't say in comedy and I was like I don't want to be here you'd have this wait the stag back up again yeah have you told your story about the signet ring in Benidorm a guy on a stag do the groom fell asleep and then one of his mates thought it would be funny to put his signet ring on his knob when the guy woke up he had morning wood his knob had gone black and it had to be removed and then removed removed yeah there's not removed you've skirting over that had to be removed had to be removed and then um yeah his his wife decided not to marry him because he had no knob well which is probably the worst sorry yeah probably not but she's probably i think the fallout and then also the person who put the signet ring on his knob he lost his wife as well because of the shame oh that's very sad so it's kind of like it's one of the least successful stag do's ever if you go on a stag do and you come back with no wife or knob it's pretty much as bad as it gets yeah i guess that's the worst case i suppose not just to play devil's advocate is there any chance that the bride maybe thought how small was his knob that he could get a signet ring on it okay or how big were his hands this is what the devil's advocating for this is what i It's questions I'm asking to this story.

34:51So you think it was more, it's simple. Well, it's more just, well, if you can't fucking put a signal ring on without your knob falling off, then yeah. Sorry, you said you saw a photo of what? I did see a photo. I saw a photo of the knob. And it is what you imagine. What, black? Black with the signal ring at the bottom. But like coal. Yeah. Like coal black. Yeah, yeah, pretty much. Can I see this photo? I haven't got it. I was shown on someone else's phone. She goes to a different school. Right. Brilliant. Yeah, all right. So Finn doesn't get to see the big black knob. So I don't get to see the black knob with a signal ring on it.

35:20Literally my two favourite things in the world. I don't get to see. So Napoleon just basically abandons his army in Egypt. Is it 30 ,000 men are just left behind? He secretly just fucks off, right? This remaining force surrenders to the British and the Ottomans in 1801. Thankfully, the British regain control of the Rosetta Stone. That goes in the museum. Safekeeping. Don't worry. It's fine. so it's a complete disaster for Napoleon it's awful but he sells it as a big victory this is the thing the painting of him by the pyramids we feel the hand of history on our shoulder he's aware he's a mythopedophile he's making his own legacy as he goes and as the book we're reading he's a tactical genius but not a strategic genius no if you're doing it on a match brilliant but you're doing it over a season over a season there's a lot of errors yeah so let's scores on the doors his Egyptian campaign ends with the entire fleet being destroyed.

36:17His army is riddled with plague. The Syria campaign's a disaster. 30 ,000 soldiers are abandoned. However, he sends letters to France and gets paintings of him with the pyramids. He says he's annihilated the Ottoman threat. He emphasizes the Battle of the Pyramids, this historic battle, and sort of just kind of minimizes the Nile and the Acre siege. And then he famously remarks, which is a huge quote for us as a podcast, history is a set of lies agreed upon. I couldn't agree more we can agree on that lie I actually do you know what I actually tweaked that to say to history is calling people pedophiles that aren't here to defend themselves that's what I would say that's what I would say that's a small tweak on Napoleon's famous quote history is actually calling everyone a pedophile who's not alive to justify themselves and throwing doubt over agreed pedophiles that's what history is from my point of view but that's where me and Napoleon differ many things um anyway uh so he goes back uh to france uh now he's obviously uh humiliated because while he's been in egypt he's found out that his sexy coal-mouthed minx of a wife has been noshing off a dandy called hippolyte star wars the mandalorian and grogu is now streaming on disney plus what are you waiting for hop on the must-see galactic adventure comes home on Disney+.

39:02See terms. And so he goes back, storms in, and says, I'm going to divorce you, Josephine. Throws out all his stuff, locks himself in his bedroom, all right which is not this was the most of alpha

39:15and then goes cries on his bed this is fuck you wife um yeah josephine returns pounding on the door uh she then deploys her teenage children to weep hysterically with her for hours uh and then so it's all like when you can like it's an african wedding african funeral yes you can sort of pay people yeah you can pay people to what weep for your wedding. In Japan they do it. In Japan you can hire a mourner. Apparently Nigerian weddings you give money the bride will stand there with a straight face and then you give money until she smiles. So as long as she can hold down That's awesome. But as soon as she smiles you have to stop giving money.

39:56That's a great game. So is she smiling because she's happy? No that's like if you can hold a straight face your future could be secure. I don't think I'd last long. No. well you get a fiver and you're like brilliant you should ask for gift because you're not getting you're not getting the equivalent value of like a John Lewis dinner set or something I reckon I could make quite a good bank there

40:21it's hard but then I guess when someone's giving you money it's hard not to smile but also are they giving you money in a funny way well that's probably the way when if they've got a hard defence you might have to bring out a lot of the gags exactly so Joseph takes Josephine back because ultimately he just can't resist. He's a simp. He's a complete simp. Explain simp. Simp means that you're just like, you're a complete bitch to your girl, basically. Right. You'd do anything for her. He's pussy whipped. Yeah, he's pussy whipped. He just can't resist the allure of her black mouth. Yeah. She'd be gobbling up all the cocks that have fallen off as dag doves.

41:00Yes, she's got pinky ring cocks for teeth. um so uh in november 1799 this is where napoleon so he comes back and he's a war hero and he is probably the most famous man in france and uh at this point the french there's been a decade of revolution the economy it's like weimar germany it's like just nothing worked there's no money uh living in france yeah for like 200 years until until it gets to like belle époque it's pretty much hell for 200 years still i mean i think there's i think the better block is a blip you know in a pretty consistent story of we are a toilet you know the best time to live in a toilet we're still living in a toilet yeah you know oh there was a day where they cleaned it yeah pretty charlie can you get um man found in portalu toilet um sorry you could say this is what you're saying is being born in France.

41:56Oh, his head might be appearing. There he is. That's the top of his head. Full screen it. That's the top of his head. So that's being born in France. Oh. Fucking hell. Do we see what he looks like when he gets out? I think you get to see him being hosed down. Yeah, there he is being hosed down. And he was trying to get a can of Mountain Dew. I don't know. Friend of the pod, a patron, obviously. Our patrons are often getting stuck in portaloos trying to retrieve their mountain jude it's stupid getting stuck in a portaloos but getting stuck in a portaloos for eight hours is also like it feels like it's surely there's there's ways of being found in the portaloos if there's no one using it i don't know is he directly under the toilet i don't quite understand the mechanics of it or can you hide well there's no there's famously where was this mountain jude there's no this There's no drainage, so it ends where you see it, right?

42:49So he is just in the tank. So he's sitting like this in a port-a-loo, and then his head's there, and the seat's there. Because there's nowhere else to go in a port-a-loo. It's a port-a-loo. Maybe the mountain G wasn't in there. He just spent eight hours looking. Are you saying does Wellington defeat Napoleon at port-a-loo? He traps him in a portable soil for eight hours. Right, come on. So Napoleon seizes power in the coup of 18th Brumaire. Now, I'm not going to get into the fucking noncery that the French do. They change all that. They Pol Pot it. They make it year zero. They change the calendar.

43:23There are 10 days in a week. Everyone hates it. It's bollocks, right? Anyway, it's November. So a group of politicians, they think, right, this is chaos. So we need a strong leader. Essentially, we've had 10 years of supposedly left-wing revolution, but we need an enlightened dictator is the thought. It's kind of understandable. Yes. and so they concoct this fake Jacobin plot. The Jacobins are the most extreme. They're the original Wokarati. Corbinites. The Corbinistas are the Jacobins. So they then force the then council to relocate to this kind of manor house outside Paris. Then the army surround the assembly.

44:04And then this is the big moment, right? Napoleon is meant to like walk in gloriously and say, I've arrived. I'm going to seize power. You know, you think of Idi Amin seizing power and he's finding the canon himself at the palace. Napoleon walks into the palace, has a full panic attack, gets shouted at, and then scratches himself so hard he bleeds. Right. Right. You know, the aura doesn't quite live up to the paintings of it. He gives a very confused speech, but he nearly faints. And then everyone shouts and says he's an outlaw and a criminal. So then he like runs out and his brother, Lucian, basically saves the coup because he pulls out a sword, points at Napoleon in front of the troops and says, if he betrays you, I'll kill him.

44:46And then all the troops go in and just, there's a painting of the coup there. Let's get that up. So he sees his power, you know, basically just about by the skin of his teeth. Yeah, which does not chime with him becoming the ultimate emperor of France. No, not at all. But again, it's myth-making and it's the era of the romantic propaganda. so um he makes himself first consul uh he's talking back to the roman empire um uh now once he's established his absolute power he needs a military victory to cement it yeah so here we go here is another one of our buzzwords that will make prostates implode we get to the crossing of the alps and the battle of morengo um this is in may 1800 now uh napoleon had been cooking in uh northern italy yes uh it's not the battle of garth merengue charlie the battle of morengo a lovely place to cook and he doesn't invent a dish called chicken morengo when he does yeah i'll get that yes he does it's his favorite it is his favorite dish and it's made it's major this camp of course charlie knows he knows it's the thing he yeah so it is his favorite dish is chicken moringa now what's been happening while he's been in egypt is that the uh the austrians uh have been uh ding-donging it back across italy and basically all of his gains he made in 1797 have been lost right so he's like right fuck it i'm going back yeah so he um he crosses the alps which must be invoking Hannibal oh totally yeah right so he the great St.

46:28Bernard Pass now this is probably maybe the most famous painting yeah get the painting up the painting he gets a painting done of him crossing the Alps and it's him on a white horse and it's him in his in his flowing cloak and his robes and the horse is rearing but he looks calm and there's a bit of a Hitler salute going on which I don't hate but in reality he was dressed basically in like a full wool burka big russian hat and he was on a donkey and he was this is the most like ai face apt yeah i mean he basically ai can you ai this to make it look better um uh and so he crosses uh the alps on a mule uh he survives the pass um this is all very icy it's horrible horses are you know slipping and blah blah blah anyway now he actually completely fucks up the attack he splits his forces to try and uh encircle uh the austrian forces at moreno but what happens is that the austrians see what he's doing so they just all attack him at once uh and so he has basically lost the um he's lost the battle because the austrians surprised him with an ambush, right?

47:44And so they're retreating, they're pushed back, they're in total disarray. And the Austrian general, basically, at sort of like four o 'clock in the afternoon, thinks we've won this, right? So he goes to his tent to have a nap. And meanwhile, the other force that had left to pin to the Austrians finally arrives back. Right. And then suddenly they are fresh and they have, I think there's only 500 cavalry. Right. But they just charge in. And the Austrians have basically been thinking, we're this is like a victorious a victory lap and suddenly napoleon's uh cavalry who he'd abandoned come back in okay just start fucking shit up and there's the horses this is one of his closest proper battles he basically has lost this until the last hour it's a man united against by munich right right they're one nil down for the whole game and then suddenly so sure right so the the cavalry come in and there's maybe 400 cavalry but they i mean again this is why i love the Napoleonic Wars.

48:40You know, you've got muskets and artillery, but you get fucked up by guys on horses with swords. Yeah. You know, it's awesome. The guns aren't good enough that you could still not get fucked up by a horse. No, because you fire them and then you're like, oh, fuck it, you know. Oh, fuck it. Every time they fire, they've got to bust one out, you know. Basically. Yeah, so they can only fire like around every four minutes. Yeah. Essentially, Austria had won it, but then this lethal cavalry charge and then they get to the artillery in and so Marengo within an hour and a half is completely flipped and it's a famous French victory from the jaws of defeat and so Napoleon says fortune smiled upon me again he adds this word so this is probably the luckiest he's ever is on the field of battle yeah probably most of the time it's yeah and so again he adds Marengo to that list of famous battles you know he says battle the pyramids Lodi Marengo So he basically gets the Austrians to sign a peace treaty.

49:45And chicken maringo is the big thing to come from this. Can you type in chicken maringo? So images up of chicken maringo. His chef had basically went out and couldn't find anything. So he just came, because they lost his supply wagon. So they came back with eggs, tomatoes, garlic, crayfish, and a skinny chicken. Feels like they've got quite a lot of stuff there. And he fried them in cognac. and then Napoleon basically ate this after every victory he had for the rest of his career. Have you ever had chicken morengo? No, but I want it. Sounds good. It's delicious. Have you had it? You've had it?

50:14Yeah, I've had it, yeah. Where did you have it? My house. You made it? My friend makes it. He loves meat. Your friend makes chicken morengo? He cooks it, yeah. He loves meat. But do you feel like... He's a meat guy. I don't... It feels like morengo you have to have done something in your day. I don't believe you. Well, you should believe me. I'll send you a photo next time he does it. Yes, please do. He does loads of lamb and he sometimes does fish. Yeah, I'm not saying your friend doesn't cook chicken. What I'm throwing doubts over is that your friend on the regular cooks Napoleon's favourite dish, chicken Marengo.

50:45He has cooked it. Do you feel like chicken Marengo, you have to have done something with your day? Because it's a victory dish in many ways. It's not a wake and bake situation. You can't have done nothing and then, yeah. Or get Marengo on, love. It feels there has to be some feel of achievement with your day to celebrate it with Marengo. With pasta. And those look fucking awesome, to be fair. Yeah, it looks delicious. Chicken and crayfish is an odd combination. And eggs. You know where we got crayfish in our rivers? Loads of them. Yeah, no, I'm aware. Have you ever been picking? Have I ever been to a river?

51:12Or crayfish picking? Yeah. No view? Yes. Mids of Love or Ruin. Right, come on. Come on. Do you eat them? You play with them. Oh, my God. The erections are flagging. There's a pinky ring over these men's knobs, right? You know, we've got them hard, and then you're talking about fucking hunting for crayfish. Come on. This is a month where the women aren't here. Charlie. Mints of Love Will Ruin. It's got loads of crayfish. So, Napoleon has not only another famous battle to add to his list, he has also made a dish that Charlie's flatmate supposedly still makes to this day. Henry. Say his name. Henry makes Marengo.

51:50Henry makes chicken Marengo. And they feed it to their fucked up lizard. All right? Roger's better now. You rejoice. rejoice. Charlie's lizard has kicked whatever skin condition it had. For recovery, it's actually like... Well, brilliant. It's like having a dog. Well, let's stop the podcast and knock each other off, should we? Well, I don't know where you got that from. Should we do that? No, I don't. So having got back to France, Napoleon has consolidated power. But he goes further. He basically, there's a lot of revolutionary newspapers, and he just goes, no, they're all in the bin. He He maybe just leaves two.

52:30This is dictator 101. This is, but this is what I mean. You've got to take control of the press. It's what the European dictators do. If Bellasconi, you know, run your own news channel. He starts a secret police under a guy called Joseph Fouché. Now, he was so brutal. What had he done during Egypt? Oh, let's get a picture of Fouché up as well. Yeah, the butcher of Leon. So during the revolution, during the terror, he'd just been chopping people's heads off. In any of these moments of like historical sort of terror and spasm, you will just have a sick fuck who's taking advantage. Oh, yeah. Like these sort of like Jeffrey Dahmer types where just history's fallen, where it's sort of socially acceptable to do with.

53:06Look at that. Oh, he looks like an evil guy. One of the most evil French faces I've ever seen in my life. Look at that. He looks like the Voldemort in Harry Potter 1. Yeah, he does. Look. He looks just like... Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But he becomes... Scary fucker. He makes a secret police, right? So there's even a moment where having reconciled with Josephine, he then, Josephine starts getting people to spy on Napoleon and his mistresses. So then Napoleon gets Fouché to spy on her spies. It's not a happy marriage. But he also forms the Napoleonic Code. Yeah. Right. Which is his, this I guess is his Nuremberg laws, would you say?

53:52Yeah. I mean, this is probably - Would you give that to me? Yeah, I would give that to you. I mean, this is where he sort of... Would you give that to me and show it on my arse, please? He starts to sort of differ maybe from some of the other historical figures is how alongside all these battles, doing a pretty revolutionary domestic political code. Yeah. That is exported and still used. I mean, this is still... Finlionic code. It's still... You'd have a code aim after you, isn't it? Yeah, you want a code. You want a code. So this is his code. I mean, this is still in the kind of basis of a constitution in France.

54:22Is it? In some ways. You tell me whether this is still France today. Freedom of religion, protected individual property rights, ended the idea of noble birth privileges. Or equal for the law, that's pretty radical. Wives legally owed obedience to their husbands. Women are classified alongside minors. Yes, that was the interesting thing. So the Napoleonic Code was incredibly radical from a liberal perspective. I'm a paedophile, I guess. Apart from women. I guess I'm a paedophile. It was kind of also the deponent Because it was basically one of the most radical political documents making everyone equal apart from women.

54:59And children. Yeah. Women and children. It's kind of amazing. All right. Some of the stuff in here is basically the birth and modernity. The only thing is it goes backwards for women. Yeah. Women have a terrible time. But it's even worse than before the revolution now. It's beyond medieval. Yeah. So he's like, we're all created equal, not you. You're basically just children. Women could be imprisoned for infidelity. Whereas a husband would only face legal consequences if he brings the mistress into the family home. I mean, yeah. Fair enough. Also, if a man walked in on a woman having sex with someone else, he could shoot the woman.

55:37If a woman walked in on a man having sex with a woman, she could just sue him. She could kill herself. She could kill herself. He'd be glad of it. Women are classified as minors. Yeah. So we're all Napoleonic pedos. Yeah. This is real incel stuff here, though. Yeah, it is. He's really getting his own back for all the women who've rejected him. A wife who killed her cheating husband faced premeditated murder charges. Yeah. A man could just blast. Yeah. So this is a quote. This is a quote. Women, when they are bad, are worse than men and more ready to commit crimes. The soft sex, when degraded, falls lower than the other.

56:16Yeah, this is real fucking. Sorry, that was Napoleon speaking. That wasn't. This is a real fucking storm front manifest. Yeah, it is. That sort of stuff. Well, he's a school shooter. He is a school shooter. This is the school shooter's code. Normally, they don't live long enough to establish, this is my school now. I'm going to tell you how things are going to run around here. Normally, they get blasted by the FBI. He has established a code in 1804. He has a secret police run by the Butcher of Leon. He's got 60 newspapers down to four, and they're only allowed to publish government-approved praise.

56:46now uh in 1802 uh they're finally after 10 years of what have been called the french revolutionary wars yeah there is finally peace when uh war pauses between france and britain with the signature of the peace of amiens and so napoleon peace yes napoleon then presents this to his people as i'm you know i'm not just a warmonger i made peace um he says peace is the first need of France. Yeah. It's not. It's pastry and oral sex. Yep. Well, that comes in later, actually. That's now, which then takes us to the Paris Orgy of 1802, where, because the borders were now open between Britain and France. It's quite a bizarre, weird period in history, where they, because they've been fighting for so long, they all just exchange fluids, sort of?

57:34They just, the British elites. It's a fluid exchange. They just came over and were like, oh, let's fucking, what's going on over here? And then they just started fucking everyone. They literally, all the British elites went over and were like, this is a mess. Fucking, this is such a mess. This is such a mess. So they, yeah, so all the British elites went over to France and started fucking everyone. And then, but no French people came over to Britain. It's quite funny, isn't it? They're like, no, we don't really want to go there. Now, during the peace, Napoleon doesn't really stand still. He annexes Pierre de Mont, which is just bordering Tuscany, near Tuscany.

58:09He, it says, reorganizes Switzerland. It's already pretty organized, I thought. Yeah, I don't really know what he's reorganizing. And famously crushes the Haitian Revolution. But the Slave Revolt was successful in Haiti. Yes. Was it a different Slave Revolt? Maybe he then... Then he went back and crushed it. Went back and crushed it. Not sure. Maybe he fights it. Because the only successful Slave Revolt was the Haitian Revolution. Also, this must be the time of the Louisiana Purchase. 1803, I think. Oh, yes. He desperately needs money for the war. This is the worst deal in history. So he's actually spending this piece, this short-lived piece, rearming.

58:45Very Hitlerian. Very Hitlerian. Very Jackassian. No, sorry, he's not Jackassian, he's Hitlerian. So he spends the piece rearming in order to fund rearming. He also, sorry, I don't know when he introduces conscription, but this is one of the big things about the Napoleonic Wars. This is the first mass conscription. Yes. So before this, there's just been standing armies that are quite small. Napoleon is the first guy to be like, we're going to mobilize the entire state. but also britain becomes it it fully mobilizes its economy to become a war economy which is the first time it's ever been done it's about to yeah but in this but this is where i don't know when he introduces conscription but the point is is that he's he's starting to get a lot the numbers of troops that are starting to get involved in the napoleonic wars uh really take like an exponential growth because he of his conscription so um as part of the peace britain was meant to evacuate Malta, but they don't.

59:37And so quite quickly, the peace is starting to look like a sham. And then you have this insane thing I didn't know about where there's a guy, there's a Tsar Paul I of Russia. Get a photo of him because he looks mad. He is assassinated in a coup. Charlie, can you get Tsar Paul I? Yeah. it looks fucking awful he needs to go to the Ottoman Empire and get a fucking head transplant he needs to go to Turkey this guy he is assassinated by conspirators at the behest of the British Foreign Secretary so this is kind of like a reverse Salisbury I mean Britain the way he's assassinated is pretty mad as well, they storm the Kremlin they poison him and then he gets strangled with like a curtain tie and trampled to death So they just stomp on him.

1:00:36But why would the Britain want to kill him? He's found high-winded curtains, struck with a gold snuff box, strangled with a sash and trampled to death. And this is because he's... They still have him to death. No, but this is when... This is at the same time, just around the time of Nelson in Copenhagen, because this is all about the League of Neutrality. Interesting. So Britain is financing subterfuge in Russia. So Alexander I ascends the Russian throne, and he immediately restores friendly ties with Britain and dissolves the Baltic League, which had formed with the Danish lot, right? So in this context, the fragile piece of Amiens is looking like a sham.

1:01:13And so in 1803, once again, Britain declares war on France. And this, listeners, is the official start of the Napoleonic Wars. We haven't even started the Napoleonic Wars. This is all be the French Revolutionary World. In our next episode, Napoleon will immediately order the arrest of all British tourists in France and he starts gathering troops at the Channel for his invasion of Britain. Hello.
