Make France Great Again

Chapter 937: Be yourself and discredit others

After the news of the bloody suppression of the residents of Coblenz by the Kingdom of Prussia reached Paris, it instantly attracted the attention of the entire Paris.

After the people of Paris, who were originally shrouded in the cloud of unemployment, saw the tragic situation of the residents of Coblenz, their hearts that were originally irritable due to unemployment seemed to have been poured cold water on them and instantly calmed down.

As far as the current unemployment rate in Paris is less than 5%, the people of Paris have not yet reached the point of rebellion or death.

At best, the standard of living is slightly worse than before, and prices are slightly higher than before.

What's more, the Seine provincial government and the imperial government are also doing their best to re-employ unemployed Paris workers. Some banks, under the guidance of the government, provide a certain amount of low-interest or even interest-free loans to small and medium-sized enterprises that have not yet gone bankrupt. , allowing them to survive the wave of economic crisis.

Although the people of Paris under the economic crisis have some criticisms of the empire, generally speaking, they can still accept the scope of the empire.

After all, many people still remember the dual political and economic crisis nine years ago.

The empire did not do well in some aspects, but the middle class was more afraid of disorder.

At the same time, Jérôme Bonaparte, who was having a headache about the unemployment rate at the Tuileries Palace (because of the telegraph, the people of Paris got the information at basically the same time as Jérôme Bonaparte) heard that Coblen After the tragedy that happened in Ci, I suddenly had a bold idea.

There is an old saying: It is better to put others down than to do yourself a good job.

Paris is indeed suffering from an economic crisis, but the Kingdom of Prussia, the Austrian Empire, the United States of America, and even the Kingdom of Britain are much more serious than the French Empire.

Since the economic crisis cannot be solved, Jérôme Bonaparte can let the people of France take a look at the distant Kingdom of Britain and the United States of America.

As the saying goes, comparison is harmful. As long as other countries are at the same level as France, or even under the French Empire, Jérôme Bonaparte can still win!

"Damn it, why did I forget it!" Jerome Bonaparte muttered in a low voice.

Immediately afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte sent Basilio to call the chief secretary, Lucien Murat.

"Your Majesty!" Lucien Murat responded to Jerome Bonaparte respectfully.

"Lucien, you immediately order your press department to give orders to all newspapers under our control in Paris to report content related to unemployment at full capacity in the past few days!" Jérôme Bonnet, who was a little excited in his heart. Ba gave an incomplete order to Lucien Murat.

After hearing Jerome Bonaparte's order, Lucien Murat almost thought that Jerome Bonaparte was crazy.

Unemployment in Paris is a deadly topic right now, so the Emperor just doesn't cover it up, but he is actually prepared to discuss it openly.

I’m really not afraid of people rioting in Paris!

Although the emperor's orders must be obeyed absolutely, Lucien Murat still felt that he needed to remind the emperor of the consequences of doing so.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to report on the unemployment rate in Paris?" Lucien Murat asked Jerome Bonaparte cautiously.

"Who said I would report on the unemployment rate in Paris?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked back, "Reporting on the unemployment rate in Paris at this time is not asking for death!"

"Then you just said that you want to report more content related to unemployment!" Lucien Murat was also stunned for a few seconds. He did not understand what Jerome Bonaparte meant.

Jérôme Bonaparte then realized that there was an error in his statement, and he quickly corrected it: "Who do I mean, newspapers should report more on the unemployment rate in foreign countries!

I think this time the Coblenz tragedy in Prussia should be reported extensively to let the people of Paris know what kind of torture citizens in other countries and regions are suffering! "

Lucien Murat showed a look of surprise, and he immediately understood what Jerome Bonaparte meant.

After being in trouble for a long time, His Majesty the Emperor is ready to compete with other countries!

As long as France is not as bad as other countries, then the people of Paris will not be too disappointed with the imperial government.

After all, the whole world is already in such a bad state, it’s good that France can stand out.

"Your Majesty, I understand!" Lucien Murat nodded and responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Well! As long as you understand!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded and said to Lucien Murat, and then continued: "By the way, you ask the newspaper to mention it more when writing the news. Unemployment rate in the United States of America!”

"Excessive slander may cause protests from the Ambassador of the United States of America!" Lucien Murat whispered to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Protest?" Jérôme Bonaparte showed a sneer on his lips and said righteously, "We are just repeating what the United States of America has done, how can we talk about slandering it!

If it weren't for the disorderly railroad construction by the United States of America, we wouldn't have suffered such an unreasonable disaster!

They are the culprit of everything! "

Jerome Bonaparte's conclusive speech made Lucien Murat almost believe Jerome Bonaparte's words.

Although the economic crisis this time was caused by the United States of America, the United States is just a trigger. The real culprit is Europe's productivity that does not match the consumer population, which has caused Europe's excess productivity.

Even without the United States of America, the economic crisis in Europe would still have broken out.

It's just that the location of the economic crisis may be in the German region. The Kingdom of Prussia and the Austrian Empire will replace the ecological niche of the United States of America.

However, since this economic crisis was caused by the United States of America, it should be the scapegoat.

The people of Paris don’t need to know about abstract concepts like productivity and consumption, they just need to know that they are worse off because of the United States of America.

As long as they turn their hatred of the Imperial Government into hatred of the United States of America.

Then Jérôme Bonaparte's strategic purpose has been basically achieved!

"Understood!" Lucien Murat hurriedly replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

"In a few days, I will go to the construction site and hospital with the Queen to inspect. Your secretary's office will make arrangements as soon as possible!" Jerome Bonaparte continued to say to Lucien Murat.

"Your Majesty, please don't do this at this time!" Lucien Murat was worried that extremists were plotting evil, so he advised Jerome Bonaparte.

"No!" Jérôme Bonaparte shook his head and said firmly, "The more this time comes, the more I, the emperor, want to go!

Only if the people of Paris feel that our empire truly values ​​them, will they be willing to support us!

If you put yourself in a lofty position all day long, you will fall to pieces sooner or later! "

"Yes!" Lucien Murat, who couldn't resist Jerome Bonaparte, had no choice but to agree.

After Lucien Murat left, Jérôme Bonaparte called Basilio over and ordered him to go to the Ministry of Public Transport and the Ministry of Finance to call over Minister Baros and Minister Fuld.

After receiving the order from Jerome Bonaparte, Basilio immediately sent someone to invite him.

He took this opportunity to place two boxes of cigars from his collection on the table.

About ten minutes later, Minister of Public Transport Baros appeared in front of Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Your Majesty!" Baros said respectfully to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Baroche, come and sit down first!" Jérôme Bonaparte invited Baroche to sit down.

Baros sat opposite Jérôme Bonaparte. Jérôme Bonaparte opened the cigar box and handed Baros a cigar, "Let's smoke and wait!"

Baros showed a flattered expression. He took the cigar from Jerome Bonaparte, then took out the match he carried and lit it for Jerome Bonaparte, and then lit it for himself.

After Fuld arrived, there was an inexplicable aroma surrounding the sofa. Fuld knew that this aroma was caused by Havana cigars.

Generally speaking, if His Majesty the Emperor takes out Havana cigars to entertain people, he must have something to ask him for!

Thinking of this, Fuld felt a little inexplicably panicked.

At this moment, Jérôme Bonaparte's voice reached Fuld's ears: "Fuld, come here quickly!"

"Yes!" Fuld responded quickly after reacting, and then strode to the sofa.

Immediately afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte also handed Fuld a Havana cigar.

Fuld lit his cigar and savored it.

After Fuld exhaled the smoke, Jerome Bonaparte spoke to them: "This time, the purpose of calling you here is to discuss the present and future of the French Empire!

As far as the current situation is concerned, it is basically impossible for our country's economy to maintain rapid growth this year like the previous two years!

So how to reduce the unemployment rate is the question we are going to discuss today!

Fuld, you are the Chancellor of Finance, you should talk about this issue first! "

Fuld thought for a moment, and then said to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, according to the statistics of the Ministry of Finance!

After our country was affected by the economic crisis in the United States in early December last year, the textile and steel industries fell to 75% of the levels at the beginning of the year, and the financial industry as a whole fell to 70% of the levels at the beginning of the year. It can be said that this is the most dangerous year after 1848.

Fortunately, although we have declined in terms of consolidation, we have not experienced widespread unemployment or widespread bank bankruptcies like other countries.

Our overseas investments also did not suffer much losses due to early sales..."
