NAPOLEON

NAPOLEON, 15 Agustus 1769 – 5 Mei 1821.

"In Italy, I realized I was a superior being,
and conceived the ambition of performing great things."

Napoleon adalah salah satu jenderal terbesar dalam sejarah. Seorang genius, workaholic, tidur hanya 4 jam sehari, dan punya ambisi yang tak terbatas. Umur 16 tahun, ia sudah menjadi tentara Prancis berpangkat letnan.

Umur 24 ide geniusnya membuat Prancis berhasil mengusir armada Inggris dari Toulon. Umur 27 tahun, ia sudah jadi pemimpin dari seluruh pasukan Prancis di Italia. Dan di umurnya yang ke-30, Napoleon praktis sudah jadi penguasa tunggal di seluruh Prancis.

Dan dia lalu ingin menguasai seluruh Eropa, dan lalu, seluruh dunia..
