Make France Great Again

Chapter 394 The Great Napoleon Cannon

After hearing Vernia's report, Jerome Bonaparte became suspicious. It had only been more than half a year since he issued the order to research new field artillery, but Basilio actually developed a new type of field artillery for him. artillery.

This news was really both joyful and sad for Jérôme Bonaparte, who was preparing to participate in the Crimean War. He was happy that France could have stronger firepower, but he was also worried about the subsequent production of artillery.

You must know that France has now entered a state of industrial mobilization. All manpower, material resources, and the distribution of assembly lines are appropriately adjusted according to the previously assigned plans.

The birth of a new artillery must have gone through countless experiments before being reported to Jérôme Bonaparte. It can be said that when Jérôme Bonaparte learned of the completion of the new artillery, the new field artillery must have been It was a finished product, and Jérôme Bonaparte was bound to open up a new production line for it.

Nowadays, the production capacity of all military factories is at full capacity, and some factories are even overloaded, unable to open up a new production line for new artillery.

There is only one way to forcefully start production, and that is to temporarily suspend some less important things, and then allocate people to build a new artillery production line.

However, workers will inevitably have some running-in time when facing new artillery, and production capacity will inevitably be lower than before.

Once you come and go, it will take a lot of time.

This is the trouble that belongs to happiness.

"Before you told me the news, did the Ministry of War know about this announcement?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Vernia.

"I don't know about this!" Vernia shook his head and responded to Jerome Bonaparte, and then added: "However, I think Basilio should have informed them!"

"Alas!" Jerome Bonaparte sighed, then gently tapped Vernia's forehead with his finger and reprimanded affectionately: "You little fool! You can't do this well!"

"Hehe..." Wilnia stuck out her tongue playfully and did not refute.

"Now that Basilio has been developed, let me go and take a look!" Jérôme Bonaparte decided to take a look at the quality of the new artillery first. He sent a gun that hugged Vernia's small waist. Arm, Vernia stood up from Jerome Bonaparte's body, and Jerome Bonaparte also stood up and went out.

The two were walking hand in hand in the corridor of the Tuileries Palace. Vernia stood up proudly, with a proud look on her face as well.

When the two of them walked from the study to the living room, Mokar appeared in front of Jerome Bonaparte again.

"Find a carriage, I'm going to Paris-Nord Industrial Group!" Jérôme Bonaparte gave Mokar a concise and concise order.

"Yes!" Mokar immediately nodded to Jérôme Bonaparte and left.

Jerome Bonaparte, who was standing in the Tuileries Palace waiting for a moment, saw Mokar again. At this time, Mokar still put on a humble posture and said to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, The carriage you requested is ready!"

"Let's go!" Jerome Bonaparte replied to Vernia beside him.

Vernia and Jérôme Bonaparte boarded a carriage lined with Guards Dragoons on both sides. Some Guards Dragoons would escort Jérôme Bonaparte to the North Industrial Group.

Jerome Bonaparte, who was staying in the carriage, closed his eyes and quietly felt the subtle sound of the carriage moving. Vernia, who was sitting next to Jerome Bonaparte, buried his head in Jerome Bonaparte's head. On the lap of M. Bonaparte.

After nearly half an hour's journey, the carriage finally arrived at the Paris Nord Industrial Group located on the outskirts of Paris... no, it should be said that it is located on the outskirts of the 12th arrondissement of Paris.

[The distance of Paris-Nord Industrial Group is already outside the 12th arrondissement. Even according to the map after the expansion in 1860, the location of Paris-Nord Industrial Group is still in the suburbs]

The carriage slowly stopped at the gate of North Industrial Group. After seeing the rows of Guards Dragoons, several retired veterans standing at the gate hurriedly jogged to salute in front of the Dragoons.

After Jérôme Bonaparte in the carriage felt the carriage stop, he immediately opened his eyes and glanced at the desolate land outside the window, and then gently shook the "slacker" lying on his lap!

"Don't make trouble!" Wilnia made a reluctant voice, and she stretched out her hand and waved around randomly.

"Wake up! We are here!" Jérôme Bonaparte leaned over to Vernia's ear and gently bit her earlobe.

"Ah!" Vernia, who felt the numbness and pain in her ears, uttered a voice, and she quickly woke up from Jerome Bonaparte's lap.

"You're awake!" Jérôme Bonaparte said with a wicked smile on his lips.

Vernia rolled her eyes at Jerome Bonaparte, then slightly straightened her wrinkled clothes and said angrily: "Your Majesty! Let's go!"

"Yes!" Jerome Bonaparte took Vernia's arm, and the two walked out of the carriage together.

When Jerome Bonaparte and Vernia walked out of the carriage, the veterans present saluted Jerome Bonaparte.

These veterans who had lived in the military camp for more than ten years thought that they would be with the army for the rest of their lives, or that when they died in a certain battle, Jérôme Bonaparte rescued them from the "quagmire" , and give them jobs.

This group of veterans who only knew killing in the first half of their lives can integrate into French society with a new look in the second half of their lives.

For them, leaving the French army was a complete transformation.

As for the French army, without these veterans who lead new recruits into trouble all day long, the energy and demeanor of the entire recruits has changed significantly.

The result, both for veterans and the military, is to win the situation.

It can be said to be a win-win situation.

Of course, the only losers are state-owned enterprises, some private enterprises, and local governments affiliated with France. They must be responsible for the employment arrangements of veterans after they retire.

Facing these veterans who had fought for France, Jerome Bonaparte also returned the favor.

Subsequently, Basilio, the general manager of Norinco Group, personally went out to greet Jerome Bonaparte. Under the leadership of Basilio, Jerome Bonaparte once again entered the interior of the industrial park.

At this time, the NORINCO park has nearly doubled in size compared to before. In addition to steel and firearms production, the industrial park has also added production lines for steam locomotives, steam hammers, artillery, cans, etc., and has no less than 5,000 workers. people.

Workers in the Paris Nord Industrial Group and the upstream and downstream industrial chains not only enjoy the right to a ten-hour work system, but their housing is also free (more than ten people per intensive apartment), and they enjoy a meager subsidy for food.

These things were all measures implemented under the compulsion of Jérôme Bonaparte. It can be said that the workers in the entire factory were full of gratitude to Jérôme Bonaparte.

In their eyes, Jérôme Bonaparte saw light for the first time.

Jerome Bonaparte, who briefly talked with the workers for a moment, felt the vitality in the workers' words, and a smile appeared on his face again.

Although he cannot change the working outlook of the entire France, Jerome Bonaparte still has the power to improve the system and appearance of state-owned enterprises and enterprises under his control.

After leaving the workers, Jerome Bonaparte listened to Basilio's report to him: "Your Majesty, the park plan will continue to expand next year! To enable it to accommodate more workers, our industry will further expand. The refinement is completed..."

In the middle of his words, Jérôme Bonaparte forcefully interrupted what Basilio was about to say: "This plan of yours is not reported to me, but to yourself! What I need to see is the results. The industrial park does not need to make a lot of money, but you have to promise me that these people will not lose their jobs! Do you understand?"

"I understand!" Basilio immediately understood what Jérôme Bonaparte meant. The first task of Paris-Nord Industrial Group was to ensure that there would be no widespread unemployment.

"Okay! Now take me to see it! Your latest artillery design!" Jérôme Bonaparte stated his intention directly without any nonsense.

"Please follow me! It may take some time!"

Under the leadership of Basilio, Jérôme Bonaparte walked for nearly half an hour and finally arrived at the test range about three kilometers away from the park.

At this time, there were two officers standing on the shooting range, one of whom was holding a telescope in his hand.

In front of them is a bronze field artillery. Judging from the style alone, the artillery is somewhat similar to the M1841 artillery of the French active forces.

Jérôme Bonaparte quickened his pace and quickly arrived in front of the artillery. The artilleryman who was standing in front of the artillery and was about to stuff the shell into the barrel was stunned when he saw Jérôme Bonaparte. .

Upon seeing this, the two officers also came to Jérôme Bonaparte and reported loudly: "Your Majesty!"

"Well!" Jérôme Bonaparte glanced at the two officers lightly and looked for Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com. One of them was Niel, the logistics director, and the other was the director of the ordnance department.

Then, Jérôme Bonaparte continued to inspect the cannon in front of him, and from time to time he gently touched the cannon body with his hand.

"This is a 12-pound field gun, right?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked the artilleryman on the side.

After the artilleryman was stunned for a moment, he subconsciously looked at Basilio. After being prompted by Basilio's eyes, he realized and immediately responded: "This is indeed a 12-pound field gun! We improved it on the basis of the original 1841 artillery!"

That's right, the artillery in front of you is the Napoleon M1857 artillery launched by "Future" in 1857, which is called the Big Napoleon Cannon.
