Make France Great Again

Chapter 785 European Monetary Union is established

That evening, representatives from various countries except the Kingdom of Greece were warmly received by Jérôme Bonaparte and Queen Augusta at the Tuileries Palace.

Not only that, after the dinner, the representatives were called to a room alone by the royal steward Mokar.

Just when the representatives were wondering why Mokar called him here alone, Mokar saw the "gift" prepared by Jérôme Bonaparte in advance in their hands.

Since each representative has a different personality, the gifts prepared by Jérôme Bonaparte for them are also very different.

For example, the representative of the Kingdom of Württemberg was given a saber inlaid with diamonds, the representative of the Kingdom of Switzerland was given a small piece of light green jade, and the representative of Switzerland was given an imperial medal made of gold (the representative of Switzerland was Famous Francophile)...

The representatives who received the gifts generally showed expressions of astonishment, and then rejected the gifts from the Tuileries Palace.

Because for them, it was lucky that the French Empire did not ask for gifts from him. How could they dare to accept gifts from the French Empire.

"Accept it! This is what His Majesty specially asked me to give to you!" Mokar said the same thing to every representative he called to the room: "If you don't accept it, His Majesty will be unhappy. of!"

The representatives had no choice but to "reluctantly" accept the gift from the Tuileries Palace, and expressed their gratitude to Emperor Jerome Bonaparte.

After all the representatives left the Tuileries Palace, Jérôme Bonaparte called Mokar over again and asked him about the gift.

"Your Majesty, all the representatives have accepted the gifts!" Mokar respectfully replied to Jerome Bonaparte, "I think they will do their best for you!"

"How can you say that you are doing things for me!" Jérôme Bonaparte smiled slightly, "The reason why I established the European Monetary Union is not to unite the whole of Europe!

Joining a currency union has only advantages and no disadvantages for them! "

"I just made a mistake!" Mokar quickly apologized to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"By the way, have you asked what I asked you to ask?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Mokar again.

Mokar was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered: His Majesty seemed to have asked him to ask the Kingdom of Belgium if it had any different opinions on the coal and steel community after meeting with the Belgian representatives.

After all, nearly half a year has passed.

The Belgian side never responded to Jérôme Bonaparte, and Jérôme Bonaparte doubted whether Leopold II was planning to pass him up.

"Your Majesty, I..." Mokar had a slightly embarrassed expression on his face.

After seeing Mokar's expression, Jérôme Bonaparte immediately understood that Mokar had forgotten to ask.

There was a hint of disappointment in Jérôme Bonaparte's eyes. Mokar had been following him for about six or seven years, but he didn't expect that he would forget even this little thing.

Maybe I should really consider looking for a new manager!

The idea of ​​replacing the general manager flashed in Jérôme Bonaparte's mind.

"Your Majesty, I'm going now!"

In order to restore the image of Jérôme Bonaparte, Mokar hurriedly replied to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Forget it!" Jérôme Bonaparte waved his hand to Mokar expressionlessly: "I'd better handle this matter personally!"

"Yes!" Mokar nodded and said to Jérôme Bonaparte.

Early the next morning, newspapers in Paris published the progress of the currency union and the attitudes of the participating countries towards the currency union.

Among them, "Bonaparte" stated: The convening of the Monetary Union means that more and more European countries have begun to identify with the French Empire. They are eager to join a new system built by the French Empire and contribute to maintaining peace and development throughout Europe. Do your part.

The reason why those countries that are eager to join the French imperial system have so much confidence in France is because the French Empire has a qualified helmsman-Emperor Jérôme Bonaparte.

Under the leadership of Emperor Jérôme Bonaparte, the entire French people not only swept away the humiliation caused by two generations of Bourbon dynasty, but were also able to proudly declare to the outside world that they were glorious Frenchmen.

Therefore, France cannot do without Emperor Jérôme Bonaparte.

At the end of the article, "Bonaparte" also called on all French citizens to silently bless the emperor in their hearts.

The National newspaper's attitude towards monetary union is relatively neutral.

The National first affirmed that the signing of the currency union would bring convenience to the French Empire in trade and tourism and promote the development of France.

At the same time, there are some criticisms about the fact that the French Empire uses its gold reserves to endorse other countries.

The National newspaper believes that the 1:15 exchange ratio of gold and silver stipulated by the Monetary Union will sooner or later cause France to suffer a loss.

If other countries consciously sell their silver into gold coins when the gold-to-silver ratio increases (France’s 1:15 will not waver until it reaches a certain limit), then France’s gold Reserves will face the risk of being maliciously shorted.

In short, the entire French press gave a positive evaluation to the monetary union.

At 1 p.m., representatives from various countries once again arrived at the gate of the Louvre.

This time when they arrived at the gate of the Louvre, they did not encounter the phenomenon of being chased and intercepted by reporters like last time.

This time, the person responsible for welcoming them was General Vaillant, Jérôme Bonaparte's adjutant.

"Everyone, please come with me!" General Wayang said to the representatives present.

The delegates followed General Wayan to the conference hall.

When the delegates arrived at the conference hall, they were surprised to find Count Argu and Jérôme Bonaparte already waiting in the hall.

"Representatives, please take a seat!" Count Argu said to everyone present with a smile.

The delegates sat down according to the seats arranged the day before, and then the meeting officially began.

This time, Count Argu did not give an opening speech like last time. Instead, he went directly to the topic and asked the representatives present whether they were willing to join the European Monetary Union.

"The Kingdom of Württemberg agrees to join!" The representative of the Kingdom of Württemberg was the first to raise his hand.

Then came the representative of the Swiss Confederation: "The Swiss Confederation agrees to join the European Monetary Ventilation!"

Seeing that both Württemberg and Switzerland agreed to join the European Monetary Union, the Sardinian representative also raised his hand and said to Count Argu: "The Kingdom of Sardinia is willing to join!"

The statements of the three countries made the remaining countries no longer hesitate.

"The Kingdom of Belgium is willing to join the European Monetary Union! Contribute to the European economy!"

"The Papal States are willing to join the European Monetary Union!"

"The Kingdom of Two Silesia is willing to join the currency union!"

"The Kingdom of Denmark is willing to join the monetary union."

"The Kingdom of Greece is willing to join the monetary union!"

The hesitant representatives of the Kingdom of Greece yesterday also raised their hands to express their willingness to join after receiving a cold reception from the Tuileries Palace.

Count Argu looked at the representative of the Kingdom of Greece and smiled: "Since everyone is willing to join the currency union, please sign the name of your country under the agreement!"

Having said that, Count Argu clapped his hands gently, and an attendant entered the room with solemn steps, dragging an aluminum tray in his hand. On the aluminum tray was the document of the Monetary Union Agreement. .

The attendant passed Count Argu and came to Jérôme Bonaparte, then presented the tray with both hands.

Jérôme Bonaparte stood up solemnly, took away the currency agreement documents from the tray, and came to the round table.

"This is a currency union agreement document drawn up by the imperial government. Every clause in the document was written after we carefully weighed the pros and cons. This agreement is the basis for ensuring mutual benefit and win-win between France and you!

All representatives must take a careful look at the document after troubleshooting it. If there is anything wrong with any clause, you can point it out immediately!

The French Empire will definitely make changes as appropriate! "Jerome Bonaparte said to the representatives present with a hint of majesty.

Subsequently, Jérôme Bonaparte distributed the agreement in his hand to each representative.

After receiving the agreement, each representative immediately began to read the contents of the agreement. They wanted to see how different the contents of the agreement were from what Count Algu said.

Soon, the sound of turning pages could be heard in the entire conference hall. Jérôme Bonaparte and Count Argu quietly waited for everyone present to finish reading.

After about 3 minutes passed, the representative of the Kingdom of Württemberg asked Count Argu for the quill used for signing.

Count Argu immediately ordered someone to get a quill and ink. During the time when the quill and ink were delivered, Count Argu explained to the ambassador of the Kingdom of Württemberg when the currency union would take effect.

"After the Monetary Union came into effect on September 11, 1855, it will dissolve itself on January 1, 1870! If no country announces its withdrawal after January 1, 1870, the treaty will be extended backwards. It lasts for 15 years, which is January 1, 1885!

Representative from Württemberg, what do you think? "

"Yes!" The representative of the Kingdom of Württemberg responded lightly, then picked up a quill, dipped in ink twice and wrote the name of his country on the back of the agreement.

After another 4 minutes passed, the Kingdom of Sardinia and the Swiss Confederation also read and signed the agreement one after another.

Then came Belgium, Sweden, Naples (the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies), Denmark and Greece.

After everyone signed the agreement, Count Algu also signed the agreement.
