Make France Great Again

Chapter 553 Preparing for the Fire

"Mr. Argu, if it were you, how would you choose?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked Count Argu with a calm face.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can't give you an answer!" A moment later, Count Argu replied to Jérôme Bonaparte: "I can't use the thinking of a mediocre person to guess the thinking of a great man!"

"A great man?" Jérôme Bonaparte showed a self-deprecating smile. This so-called "great man" just took advantage of the "prophet" and observed the world with a thinking that was nearly two hundred years ahead of this era. .

If we put aside the vision of more than a hundred years, Jerome Bonaparte believed that his talent and level were far inferior to his late cousin, and even inferior to the original owner of this body.

However, the most precious thing he possesses is the knowledge and vision that transcends this world for more than a hundred years.

Over the past 100 years, predecessors have experimented with their lives on all possible failures under the conditions of past productivity, and all solutions have been written down one by one (Keynesianism).

Although these solutions may not solve the problem permanently, they can alleviate the problem.

Jérôme Bonaparte living in this era is like a fly lying at the mouth of a well, although frogs (such as Bismarck, Cavour, Metternich, Thiers) only need to stick out their tongues to kill him. He killed it, but he was able to see the sky that frogs could not see in this era.

It was precisely by virtue of his ability to see the "sky" clearly that Jérôme Bonaparte was able to package himself into a determined "great man".

"I'm not a so-called great man at all, I'm just a gambler!" Jerome Bonaparte said in a calm tone, "I put everything I have on this war!"

"This is a great man!" Count Argoux responded to Jérôme Bonaparte: "The same was true for His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Okay! Stop complimenting me!" Jerome Bonaparte smiled and shook his head.

"This is not a compliment! I'm just telling the truth!" Count Argoux responded to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Then I will be shameless and accept your compliments."

Jerome Bonaparte and Count Argoux chatted for a long time, until the appearance of the steward brought the conversation to an abrupt end.

"Your Majesty, sir! Dinner is ready!" the steward said respectfully to Jerome Bonaparte and Count Argu.

"So fast!" Jerome Bonaparte said in surprise.

"Your Majesty, look out the window!" Count Argoux pointed out the window and said to Jerome Bonaparte.

Jérôme Bonaparte subconsciously glanced outside the window, which was already dark.

"What time is it now!" Jérôme Bonaparte asked the steward.

"Your Majesty, it's already seven o'clock in the evening!" the steward replied quickly.

"Time flies so fast!" Jérôme Bonaparte couldn't help but sigh.

Later, led by the steward, Jerome Bonaparte and Count Argu went to the restaurant together.

After a delicious meal, Count Argoux ordered his steward to take Jerome Bonaparte back to the Tuileries Palace.

"No need!" Jérôme Bonaparte waved his hand and rejected Count Argu.

"Your Majesty, it's not safe in Paris at night! It's dangerous to go back alone, so let my butler take you back!" Count Argoux pleaded to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Who said I would return alone!" Jérôme Bonaparte said as Count Argoux took out his pocket watch and looked at the time.

It was already 8:40, and there were still 20 minutes left before the time he and Mokar agreed.

"In another 20 minutes, someone will come to pick me up!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Count Argu.

"That's good!" Count Argu breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to see any accidents happen to the emperor on his way back.

The time soon came to nine o'clock, and the carriage from the Tuileries Palace appeared at the gate of the Count of Argoux's residence on time.

Mokar, the royal steward who got off the carriage, went straight into Count Argu's mansion to take Jerome Bonaparte home.

Early the next morning.

News of the resignation of Count Argoux, president of the Bank of France, appeared in major newspapers in Paris. Paris citizens who were originally indifferent to the Bank of France were surprised to find that the resigned Count Argoux had been in charge of the Bank for nearly twenty years, so they speculated one after another. Why did Count Argoux leave the Bank of France?

Could it be that Count Argu resigned because of his age, as the newspaper said?

At the same time, affected by the change of president of the Bank of France, the Paris Stock Exchange fell by 2% as soon as it opened, and fell to % in the mid-term.

Fortunately, under the guidance of an invisible hand, the Paris Stock Exchange's stock market fell only % at the close.

When Finance Minister Mane reported the closing data to Jerome Bonaparte, Jerome Bonaparte nodded and said: "Now it seems that the stock exchange can still accept the change of the Bank of France!"

"Yes!" Minister Magnet responded to Jérôme Bonaparte.

To be honest, the 2% drop at the opening today really made Magne sweat.

"Okay! Thank you for your hard work!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded to Magne.

"This is what I should do!" Magne said respectfully to Jerome Bonaparte, and then left Jerome Bonaparte's study.

With Magne's departure, Jérôme Bonaparte was left alone in the study correcting documents.

After a while, Mokar's voice appeared outside the door: "Your Majesty, General Niel wants to see you!"

"Nière? What is he doing here?" Jérôme Bonaparte was stunned for a few seconds, and then responded to Mokar outside the door: "Let him in!"

"Yes!" Mokar responded quickly.

The door opened, and Nielder's figure appeared at the door.

And he was holding a telegram in his hand: "Your Majesty!"

"Well! Sit down!" Jérôme Bonaparte stretched out his hand to invite Niel to sit down.

Niel, who was sitting opposite Jerome Bonaparte, quickly placed the telegram in front of Jerome Bonaparte and said: "Your Majesty, this is from the end of the Battle of Alma to the occupation of Sevastopol. The whole process!”

Jérôme Bonaparte took the telegram from Niel and carefully read the contents of the telegram.

Judging from the content of the telegram, the coalition forces occupied Sevastopol before the Sevastopol defense system was fully constructed. It can be said that the Sevastopol defenders were caught off guard.

However, even if the coalition forces used "tricks" to capture Sevastopol, it was enough to prove that the coalition forces - or the French army's combat effectiveness far exceeded the Russian Imperial Army.

And all this is inseparable from General Niel opposite Jérôme Bonaparte and General Pelissier far away in the Crimean Peninsula.

If Niel had not re-established military depots and changed the recruitment period, the combat effectiveness of the French army would not have been significantly improved.

It is important for the army to have advanced weapons, but the logistics system and the quality of the soldiers are more important than advanced weapons.

At the end of the day, it's people who use weapons.

The same weapon will have different effects when used by different people.

Just like the baked buns and geotechnical workers in later generations, the baked buns have more advanced art mechanics than the geotechnical workers (PS: Since the end of the Hundred Regiments War, the geotechnical army has never conducted large-scale group operations. Many troops are based on regiments. The units carried out guerrilla warfare in the rear. Therefore, in the early days of the Liberation War, due to the lack of experience in group army operations, various departments were suppressed by the five main forces. The Shandong People's Liberation Army once only had a few scattered cities left), but in the end it was still the earthworks The victory was won.

The logistics system and the quality of the soldiers allowed Geotechnians to defeat the Baked Buns.

After being reorganized by Niel, the French army became more nationalistic and fanatical (although their nationalism was a castrated version modified by Jérôme Bonaparte).

The combat effectiveness is also higher than before.

Of course, General Pelissier's contribution is also indispensable.

If General Pelissier had not immediately issued an order to attack the Sevastopol Fortress, then Sevastopol would most likely develop in the direction of history.

The coalition forces needed to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to break it, and during this period they endured the impact of many factors such as severe cold weather and logistical difficulties.

Nowadays, the coalition troops no longer have to endure the severe cold weather in history and can comfortably enjoy the convenience brought by Sevastopol.

The Russian Empire may have to play the role of a historical coalition. Jerome Bonaparte had reason to believe that Nicholas I would ask Menshikov to attack Sevastopol at all costs.

It's just that the Russian Imperial Army after the role replacement may not have the same logistics as the coalition forces. The difficulties they face are many times more difficult to find than the coalition forces.

I am afraid that the casualties faced by the Russian Empire this time are more serious than those in history!

Thinking of this, Jerome Bonaparte couldn't help but gloated.

no! I have to make a fire for Nicholas I and make Nicholas I lose face. Only in this way will he fight against the Sevastopol Fortress.

A sinister smile appeared on Jerome Bonaparte's face, and a sinister plan continued to take shape in Jerome Bonaparte's heart.

General Niel, who was sitting opposite Jerome Bonaparte, saw the expression on Jerome Bonaparte's face and also murmured in his heart: "Your Majesty, what are you thinking about?"
