When the Inkerman Mountain report reached the Sevastopol headquarters, the entire command center erupted in celebration.
Amidst this excitement, Jerome Bonaparte personally rushed to the telegraph office established in Sevastopol, anxiously handing the telegram he had personally written to the telegraph operator: "Quick! Send this telegram to France immediately!"
The telegraph operator, not daring to delay Jerome Bonaparte's request, began working at once.
Shortly after, the ticking sounds came from the telegraph office, and about forty minutes later, the ticking stopped.
The telegraph operator respectfully informed Jerome Bonaparte that the telegram would reach Paris in approximately two hours.
"You did very well!" Jerome Bonaparte smiled and nodded, then turned and left.
...
Two hours later in Paris.
