"General Feldbur, I hope you and your army will be cautious when using it!
Prevent it from falling into the hands of countries with hostile relations with France!"
Jerome Bonaparte hinted to Louis Feldbur to prevent the Mauser rifle from being seized by natives and falling into the hands of the Kingdom of Britain.
Currently, the relationship between the French Empire and the Kingdom of Britain is nowhere near what it was during the Crimean War, and Jerome Bonaparte's repeated annexation of European territories (especially Savoy and Nice) has successfully aroused dissatisfaction both domestically and internationally in the Kingdom of Britain.
If Britain learns that Jerome Bonaparte is secretly intensifying research on new weapons, the people of Britain, feeling persecuted, would not care if the Mauser rifle bullets could reach Britain; they would only see this move by the French Empire as a prelude to an impending invasion.
