Ten days later, in the capital city of France, Napoleon stepped off the sleek electric tram, a new type of transportation recently constructed to facilitate Paris's industrial needs.
As Napoleon's boots touched the ground, he instinctively straightened his uniform and tricorn hat. The people passing by paused to catch a glimpse of the renowned general, whispering their admiration and sometimes waving their hands and calling his name to get his attention.
Napoleon simply returned the gesture by lifting his tricorn hat and waving it in the air. Spotting a carriage nearby, he hailed it with his hat. The carriage driver, recognizing the esteemed figure before him, swiftly maneuvered the horses to a halt.
"General Bonaparte, what an honor to see you in person. I have read your tales in the newspaper and I must say, General…I am impressed!"
Napoleon smiled as he nodded his head in acknowledgment of his compliments.
"Where to General?" The carriage driver asked.
