(I'm throwing a new thread because this is different from Ken Kubota's 
thoughts.)

"Hence (1 
<https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/logic-higher-order/#mjx-eqn-ind>1) 
[Induction axiom] cannot be expressed in first order logic. " (1)

So there are 5 axioms in the axiomatic system of natural numbers. Four of 
them can be expressed in FOL.
The fifth one  [Induction axiom]  can only be expressed in second-order 
logic. I don't know if there is an official
acronym for second-order logic but let's call it SOL. And let's call PEANO 
the system of 5 axioms designed by Peano

(1) https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/logic-higher-order/

A Peano system is necessarily equal to SOL + PEANO. FOL + PEANO is 
impossible.
