Make France Great Again

"But what? You can talk about difficulties, and there is nothing you can't say!"

Jerome Bonaparte encouraged Achillefurd to speak out his concerns. Only in this way could they reach a consensus faster.

After hesitating for a moment, Achillefurd asked Foreign Minister De Luis: "Mr. Luis, how long will it take us to reach a common consensus with the Kingdom of Britain!"

"It will take at least half a month!" Ruiz immediately responded to Achillefurd, and then explained to Jerome Bonaparte and Achillefurd: "I once talked with Foreign Minister Palmerston After discussing together, Palmerston told me that his colleagues have never been ready for war with the Russian Empire, and hastily signing an alliance with France will not only arouse the opposition of the cabinet ministers, but may also stimulate the Russian Empire.”

Based on the understanding of Palmerston, a war madman, Jerome Bonaparte believed that he must be planning a war against the Russian Empire, but Prime Minister Russell and cabinet ministers who advocated "peace" were unwilling to be unprepared. Conflict with the Russian Empire.

As a world empire in the 19th century, Britain had garrisons all over the world, which resulted in their local garrisons having less than 50,000 troops. Such a force is obviously unable to fight a war with the Russian Empire. In addition, India The intensified situation with Afghanistan made Britain have to send more troops to India to prevent the rebellion of the country, and at the same time send soldiers to Afghanistan to suppress the riots in Afghanistan.

It's just that the operation in Afghanistan failed. Thousands of British troops who went deep into the interior were slaughtered by the Afghan tribal army, leaving only a few people. The Indian region is still sending more soldiers to prevent riots.

If you want to persuade the British minister to let them into the water, you can only wait until the Russian Empire is too demanding.

However, Jerome Bonaparte is obviously unwilling to wait for a few more years now, and he wants to use the power of the Bank of England to let Rothschild know what the power of the president is.

"You talk to Palmerston first, and try to reach a limited cooperation with Britain!" Jerome Bonaparte ordered Deluis.

"Yes!" Druis nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Jérôme Bonaparte turned his attention to the Minister of the Navy, Dico. Bonaparte's inquiry.

"Minister Dico!" Jerome Bonaparte called out Dico's name in a kind tone.

"Mr. President!" Minister Dicko immediately responded.

"How is our fleet in the Mediterranean Sea now?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Dico with a smile: "Do they have any difficulties to solve?"

"Report Your Excellency the President! Our Mediterranean Fleet is patrolling near the Dardanelles and has not encountered any difficulties!" Dicko replied generously.

Dicko understands that the reason why the President suddenly cares about the Mediterranean Fleet is definitely not a whim, and the next step will be the highlight.

Thinking of this, Dicko couldn't help swallowing.

"The Mediterranean Fleet must be ready to fight at any time! We must protect the power of the Catholic Church in the Holy Land, and the commander of the fleet can have arbitrary power when necessary!" Jerome Bonaparte hinted to Dico nakedly.

Dico certainly understood what Jerome Bonaparte meant. The so-called arbitrary power meant that the Mediterranean Fleet could act against the Russian Empire if he thought it necessary.

Once the Russian Empire conflicts with the French Republic, Palmerston will definitely encourage the cabinet members to teach the Russian Empire a lesson, and the alliance between Britain and France will be established without any effort.

Of course, these operations not only test the flexible diplomatic capabilities of the diplomats, but also test whether the fleet commander can stop in time under the advantage.

At present, the French Republic is also not ready for a war with the Russian Empire.

The map of the Near East is still being made in the Secretary's Office, not to mention that the logistics and Minie rifles have not yet been rectified and equipped.

Going to war rashly will only lead to the same situation as history, no, even worse than history. The diplomatic environment has not yet prepared Jerome Bonaparte to fight against European powers.

What Jérôme Bonaparte needs is a crushing victory, not a victory that is not too different from history.

"By the way! You have to grasp the scale!" Jerome Bonaparte then entrusted Dicko.

"Yes!" Dick nodded again to express his understanding.

Jerome Bonaparte turned his gaze to Achille Fuld and said, "Minister Fuld, what else do you want to ask!"

"Your Majesty, half a month is half a century for the Exchange, and we don't have such a long time to wait!" Ashford said tactfully: "Besides, if Britain is unwilling to form an alliance with us, At this time, the market may become even more pessimistic, and the government's credit may also face bankruptcy!"

"Mr. Fuld, I once said that when necessary, corresponding measures must be taken! The reason why Parisians panic is because they have no confidence in the French government. As long as we can give them enough confidence! Then they will definitely not abandon The people are the most easily deceived by the bonds in their hands, and they are also the least easily deceived!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Achilfold with a slight smile on his face: "The exchange should be established when necessary. A circuit breaker mechanism! Once the circuit breaker mechanism is triggered, the exchange will be forced to close!"

The circuit breaker mechanism mentioned by Jerome Bonaparte was specially set up by the United States of America after World War II to prevent the stock market from appearing in a situation similar to that of Black Monday. Sell ​​bonds to prevent irrational and huge fluctuations in the market or a certain product, especially to prevent the market from falling sharply or even triggering a stock market crash, so as to maintain market stability.

"Your Majesty, this is the use of administrative means to forcibly interfere with the financial market!" Achillefold, who calls himself Saint-Simonism, protested against Jerome Bonaparte's method of replacing the financial market with administrative instructions: "Transient A market break won't save the market!"

"No!" Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and said to Achillefold: "Using coercive means to calm down investors and prevent the spread of panic is the best way. Not only that, once the Rothschild Bank There is a plan to sell bonds on a large scale, and your Ministry of Finance should send personnel to Rothschild Bank to assist Rothschild in rectifying its finances and prevent the spread of panic. Similarly, the French government should post an announcement to explain the situation! Responsible for taking over Rothschild People in Germany also try to find some bureaucrats from other provinces, and many people in the Ministry of Finance are related to Rothschild, which is not conducive to our work!"

Jerome Bonaparte, who has learned the lessons of the Paris Commune in the future, will certainly not give Rothschild any chance of capital outflow. It is the best way to appoint government personnel to Rothschild Bank.

Of course, all the premise is to prevent Paris from stabilizing the financial market in Paris.

But Jerome Bonaparte also wanted to teach James Rothschild a lesson. Achilfold half-heartedly agreed to Jerome Bonaparte's request.

[Achille Fuld and James Rothschild have been in a state of competition, and he has always gloated about James Rothschild being suppressed by the president. 】

More importantly, Achillefurd has not forgotten that he is a banker and also the Minister of Finance.

The most important thing to be Minister of Finance is to maintain the stability of the French financial market.

Although he said that he did not approve of the president and Rothschild making a full-scale move, but now that he has done so, he must do whatever it takes to maintain the stability of the financial market.

Otherwise, if the French financial market collapses, he, the Minister of Finance, will also be buried in the financial building!

"I hope you can cooperate sincerely to prevent this coming financial crisis!" Jerome Bonaparte said to the Minister of Finance, Minister of Navy and Minister of Foreign Affairs with a solemn expression.

"Yes!" The three responded in unison.

After the three ministers left, Jerome Bonaparte called the Minister of War, General Reigniot, Brigadier General Conrobert, Commander of the Second Paris Brigade, and Commander of the Paris Garrison, Changarnier, to the Elysee Palace.

"Minister Renault, Commander Changarnier, I plan to mobilize the Second Brigade to carry out an operation against crime and evil in Paris! I don't know if the Ministry of War and the Paris Garrison Command can sign this transfer order!!" Gero Mbonaparte said straight to the point to Regnio and Commander Changarnier.

Minister Renault looked at Jérôme Bonaparte in amazement. He had heard of the use of the army to suppress the workers, but had never heard of the use of the army to suppress the mafia.

Since the president personally issued the order, there is no reason for General Regno and Commander Changarnier to disobey.

Since the first division of Paris and the garrison in the suburbs heard the news that the president fought against the banker for them, Jérôme Bonaparte's prestige in the army has increased a lot.

Most soldiers and grassroots officers have kindly called Jerome Bonaparte "Our Majesty", and Changarnier, who has taken refuge in Jerome Bonaparte, is also happy to see his success.

"However, Brigadier General Canrobert's position does not seem to be able to check the affairs of Paris!" Jérôme Bonaparte looked at Commander Changarnier and said, "General Changarnier, can you..."

In order to be more closely united with Jerome Bonaparte, Changarnier compromised again. One of the deputy commanders in charge of helping him manage the National Guard was transferred to the deputy commander of the Pyrenees Front. The Minister appointed Deputy Commander of the Seine (Paris) Garrison and Commander of the Second Paris Brigade.

Brigadier General Canrobert, who has the status of the Seine garrison, is naturally qualified to intervene in the affairs of the Paris region.

Brigadier General Conrobert's march was also set for a week later, on December 15th.
