Make France Great Again

Chapter 265 The support of the Bank of France is the key to the coup

In order to avoid more dramatic changes in the coup, Jérôme Bonaparte had to choose to drag the Bank of France into the water.

In the history of OTL, he always kept the lessons of the Paris Commune in mind. To deal with this group of capricious groups, the only way to deal with them was to pull them into the water and participate in the action together.

"Minister Fuld, remember we must ask the Bank of France to come up with this money! Even if we use other forces!" Jérôme Bonaparte's words revealed a firmness.

Fuld was stunned for a few seconds, with confusion in his eyes, as if he didn't understand why Jerome Bonaparte had to borrow money from the Bank of France.

Even if they only rely on the bankers who surrender to them, they can still satisfy the army.

In the final analysis, it does not take many people to use the army to carry out a coup. As long as the National Guards can be strictly restrained, only one brigade of soldiers needs to be sent to guard important traffic arteries to prevent the Legislative Assembly from seeking assistance from the army in the Seine department until the situation is over. Once settled and then lifted, a coup can be completed.

Amid everyone's confused expressions, Jerome Bonaparte explained: "I once read a story in a book. During the Roman Republic, in order to ensure that the wealthy businessmen in Rome could support him, Caesar first asked The wealthy merchants in the Roman Republic borrowed money on a large scale. The wealthy merchants at that time were not worried that Caesar, as the consul, would not be able to pay off the debts. All it took was an expedition to Lhasa to give them more generous returns, but what the wealthy merchants did not expect was that Caesar, who had obtained a large amount of money, did not choose to go far away. Instead, he held celebrations in Rome from time to time until all the money was squandered. Relying on the money borrowed from wealthy businessmen, Caesar gained the love of the Roman people and a large amount of debt.

The debt was so huge that Caesar could not bear it. For the wealthy businessmen, once Caesar left the position of consul, it meant that all their investments would be lost. The "poor" Caesar no longer had a big man to use. Give it back to them. How can a wealthy businessman recover his principal under such circumstances? "

Halfway through the story, Jérôme Bonaparte smiled meaningfully and looked at all the ministers present.

"Support him to continue to serve as consul!" Fuld reacted immediately, and he excitedly said his answer.

Eugène Ruet and Morny also showed expressions of understanding.

"That's right!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded to Fuld and responded: "With the support of the wealthy businessmen and all the Roman people, Caesar continued to serve as the consul of the Roman Republic. He led the Roman Republic to defeat the High Lu people..."

Such a story did come from Julius Caesar, but Jérôme Bonaparte did not get any of the people or things involved right.

However, no one present is a historian who specializes in Roman history, so it is much easier to deceive.

"Actually, we don't need their support, we don't even need the support of the Paris bourgeoisie, but..." Jerome Bonaparte changed the topic and said in a strong tone: "I will never allow them to oppose me. !”

The Second Empire in history was based on the position of the vast majority of people in Paris who did not oppose the establishment of the empire.

Although under Jérôme Bonaparte's operation to eliminate crime, he received a higher approval rate than his cousin at the same time in history, this does not mean that all Parisians will agree with him to complete the coup, as long as they do not Although he expressed his clear opposition to Jerome Bonaparte, he still allowed the people of Paris to complain in daily situations.

For an existence like the Bank of France, which controls the balance of France, Jérôme Bonaparte will never allow them to play both sides of the coin.

Either choose to support him or go directly to destruction.

Jerome Bonaparte admitted that rashly killing the Bank of France would only lead to the collapse of his regime, but he did not care about this outcome.

Since the regime is destined to collapse, why not use the opportunity of collapse to bloom a more beautiful and bloody flower of capital in France.

"Mr. Fuld, you can tell the directors of the Bank of France. After the establishment of the empire, the government helped the Bank of France expand their business to the entire France, and even the entire Europe, just like the promise my uncle gave them!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Fuld that he decided to pay homage to the Bank of France before attacking: "If they are not willing, then I can only express a little regret. The final counterattack of a political power that is about to collapse is very powerful!" "

"Yes!" Jérôme Bonaparte's attitude made Fuld feel a chill on his scalp.

For a moment, Fuld felt that it was really a sane thing for him to follow such a desperate madman?

However, Fuld strengthened his confidence in the next second. Only those who are crazy and decisive enough can control this world.

"I believe that the Bank of France will surrender to you!" Fuld said sincerely to Jerome Bonaparte.

"No! We and the Bank of France are just a pair of collaborators!" Jerome Bonaparte said flatly.

After Finance Minister Fuld came to an end on the borrowing issue, Jérôme Bonaparte turned his attention to Minister Regno and General Saint-Arnaud.

Before Jérôme Bonaparte could speak, Minister Renault spoke first: "Your Majesty, I hope to resign as Minister of War!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone, including Jérôme Bonaparte, showed expressions of astonishment.

From the time when Barrow's cabinet was dismissed to now, Renault has served as a minister for nearly more than a year. Now is the most critical time, and he has quit even if he doesn't want to.

Many faces showed vigilant eyes, and Jérôme Bonaparte also looked at General Renault in confusion.

Although Jérôme Bonaparte did guarantee to Saint-Arnaud a month ago that he would succeed Minister Regnault as the Ministry of War, at that time, Odilon Barro and others had not yet taken refuge in Gérault. When President Bonaparte was elected, the motion of no-confidence would begin on November 1.

In order to prevent the cabinet from getting into chaos, Jérôme Bonaparte could only make arrangements in advance.

Now that Odilon Barro and others have joined Jérôme Bonaparte's camp, the power of the Elysee Palace faction is far greater than before.

If the no-confidence motion cannot be passed at all, subsequent arrangements will become optional.

"Your Majesty, I understand my own character, and I am not a qualified minister!" Minister Renault turned his attention to General Saint-Arnault: "If Saint-Arnault hadn't seen me and checked for my shortcomings, I’m afraid that the entire War Department will not be able to comply with the government orders!”

"The Ministry of War is all minister, and you have led well!" General Saint-Arnault said hurriedly to Minister Renault.

"In more than a year, I have found that the position I am more suitable for is a general, rather than a coordinating minister of war!" General Regno looked at Jérôme Bonaparte with sincere eyes: "So I recommend General Saint-Arnaud to serve as Minister of War after me. He can better help us complete this plan!"

General Renault's speech caught Jérôme Bonaparte off guard. After a moment of silence, he said to General Renault: "Minister Renault, I agree to your request!"

"Thank you very much!" Minister Renault smiled.

As a minister of war who was about to resign, Regno felt that he was not qualified to participate in this confidential meeting.

Just as he was about to get up and leave, Jerome Bonaparte said: "But before you leave your post, you are still the Minister of War, and you must attend the meeting!"

"Yes!" Minister Renault sat down again.

"Since Minister Rennault has chosen to resign, General Saint-Arnaud will let you formulate the army plan on behalf of Minister Rennault! We must ensure that our plan can catch them all! Only in this way can we eliminate as much influence on us as possible Adverse effects," Jérôme Bonaparte said to General Saint-Arnaud.

General Saint-Arnaud... No, Acting Minister Saint-Arnaud should be called to express to Jérôme Bonaparte that he will definitely complete the task.

"That's right! You also need to make it clear to your subordinate soldiers that you should not kill those MPs who try to incite people to rebel, and arrest them as much as possible!" Jérôme Bonaparte continued to urge Saint-Arnaud. One sentence.

The bloody blood of the Revolution is still vivid in our minds. When heads fell off with their own bodies, no one thought that they would not be the next victim of the guillotine.

Killing people cannot solve the problem, it can only intensify the conflict.

Jérôme Bonaparte was indeed able to kill all the deputies, which would only lead to the emergence of more republican deputies.

Those dead congressmen will be made into harmless statues of humans and animals by those who come after them and placed on the altar to become their monuments, and then they will assassinate Jerome Bonaparte without any bottom line in the name of justice.

Expelling some people and silencing others is the most effective solution. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyua.com

Jerome Bonaparte's words made Saint-Arnault give up the idea of ​​​​carrying out a second June Massacre in Paris.

Jérôme Bonaparte, who planned the coup, finally made a concluding statement: "Everyone, we must act quickly. We are running out of time! Once the National Assembly rejects our request to amend the constitution, , we will act quickly to get rid of that legislative assembly that is not in line with French democracy! Establish a legislative assembly that belongs to us and the entire French people!"

The hearts of everyone present were also surging. After such a long time, they were finally able to completely eliminate the Legislative Assembly.

"Okay! Let's adjourn the meeting!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to everyone after looking at his pocket watch.

Then, he added: "Minister Renault is left alone!"
