Make France Great Again

Chapter 664: Marshal Saint Arnaud returns to the West

After Mokar returned to the room, Queen Augusta asked Mokar if guests from the Bank of France had arrived.

There was a hint of astonishment on Mokar's face, and then he nodded and told Queen Augusta that Count Bemini, the president of the Bank of France, had been waiting at the Duyinle Palace for a long time and was now being arranged by him to stay at the Duyinle Palace. A room in the inner palace, Her Majesty the Queen, do you want to receive him?

"Then invite President Bemini here!" Queen Augusta replied to Mokar.

"Yes!" Mokar bowed to Queen Augusta and left the room.

Queen Augusta, who was alone in the room, yawned and murmured to herself: "I didn't expect that a small Luxembourg bank could affect so many people!"

After a while, Count Bemini and Mokar, the president of the Bank of France, appeared in the room.

"Count Bemini, please forgive me for not getting up to greet you!" Queen Augusta, who was sitting on the sofa, pointed to her belly and said to Count Bemini.

"I am deeply honored that Your Majesty can spare the time to meet with me!" Count Bemini quickly bowed to Queen Augusta.

At the invitation of Queen Augusta, Count Bemini sat on the sofa opposite Augusta.

Empress Augusta pretended to be ignorant and asked Count Bemini whether there was a difficult problem with the Bank of France that he could not handle, so that he, a busy man, took time to go to the Tuileries Palace.

"Thanks to the grace of your two majesties, I have been appointed to take charge of the Bank of France! Now the Bank of France is following the direction guided by His Majesty the Emperor Jérôme Bonaparte, accurately regulating the issuance of bank notes, so that every bank note can be Circulating in the market...Although there were some unsatisfactory twists and turns during the issuance of bank notes, overall it is still relatively stable!" Count Bemini responded to Queen Augusta in a standard official accent.

"Since the Bank of France is fine, Mr. Bemini, what is the purpose of your sudden visit to the Tuileries Palace today?" Queen Augusta asked calmly.

"Your Majesty, the purpose of my trip is for the Bank of Luxembourg!" Count Bemini responded to Queen Augusta with a serious face.

"Bank of Luxembourg?" Queen Augusta pretended not to understand what Count Bemini meant: "What's wrong with the Bank of Luxembourg? Does it mean that it has a business dispute with the Bank of France?"

Queen Augusta's inconsiderate speech made Count Bemini smell the danger. He remembered that the steward Mokar secretly told him just now that Queen Augusta was talking to the Perel brothers.

Could it be that the Perel brothers have succeeded now!

Thinking of this, Count Bemini couldn't help but become nervous.

If the Perel brothers really want to take down the Bank of Luxembourg, then the Bank of France is likely to face a powerful enemy.

Although the Perel brothers are also members of the board of directors of the Bank of France and part of interest groups, interest groups do not necessarily have to be united. It is possible that the two banks sitting on the board of directors of the Bank of France, Outside the Bank of France, they are sworn enemies, not to mention that the status between members is very different.

The status of the Perel brothers at the Bank of France is only slightly higher than that of ordinary board members, but far inferior to Fuld and others.

Once the Perel brothers take over the Bank of Luxembourg, they can completely get rid of the Bank of France and go it alone. The reason why the Bank of France is able to surpass many banks is because the Bank of France itself has a monopoly on the issuance and redemption of bank notes in France. right to return.

Without these two monopoly rights, the Bank of France would be just a slightly larger bank.

What's even worse is that if the Perel brothers really take over the Bank of Luxembourg, it will inevitably cause division within the Bank of France.

A group of bankers who only have voting rights will definitely unite around the Perel brothers and cheer for the Bank of Luxembourg.

At that time, the entire Bank of France team will be difficult to lead.

This is absolutely bad news for Count Bemini, who has been president of the Bank of France for less than a year.

Count Bemini, who briefly weighed the pros and cons, decided to have a straight-to-the-point talk with Her Majesty the Queen. He asked with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being bold! If the problem of the Bank of Luxembourg is not handled well, it may cause turmoil in the entire French financial community. The turmoil!”

"Mr. Bemini, are you threatening me?" Queen Augusta also showed an extremely serious face and asked Earl Bemini coldly.

"Your Majesty, I am not threatening you! If you want, you can immediately dismiss me as president of the Bank of France!" Faced with Augusta's hostility, Count Bemini remained calm and composed towards Queen Augusta. Said: “But I beg you, please don’t let the Bank of Luxembourg become the main culprit in tearing apart the Bank of France!”

"Mr. Bemini, the Bank of Luxembourg is just a bank worth millions of francs! I am very curious how it can tear apart the behemoth Bank of France!" Queen Augusta said to Count Bemini.

"Your Majesty, although the Bank of Luxembourg is small, it has all the functions of the Bank of France! It can be said that the Bank of Luxembourg itself is a small French Bank! What the Bank of Luxembourg lacks is just a large-scale capital injection. It is not a problem at all for France now!" Count Bemini explained to Queen Augusta.

"So, what can the Bank of Luxembourg do to tear apart the Bank of France?" Queen Augusta asked Count Bemini.

"The Bank of Luxembourg doesn't need to do anything. She just needs to open a branch in Paris and then find some larger banks to endorse the credibility of the Bank of Luxembourg! In this way, those big banks can do what they want to do through the Bank of Luxembourg. But it can’t do anything!” Bemini said to Queen Augusta, “The Bank of Luxembourg can issue bank notes on its own, and it also has the right to redeem discount notes! Many banks can bypass the Bank of France and issue bank notes. .

Two banks and two different bank notes will inevitably cause chaos in the entire French financial market, and those bankers who originally only had voting rights on the board of directors will flock to the Bank of Luxembourg!

By then, the entire French financial community will be torn into two parts.

Once the French financial system is shaken, then the whole of France..."

Speaking of which, Bemini remained silent.

After all, the reason why His Majesty the Emperor was able to sit in this position in the first place was because of the massive financial turmoil that occurred at that time.

Now that the emperor has sat on this issue, he will never allow financial problems like before to happen again.

Sure enough, after Count Bemini explained the harm caused by the Luxembourg Bank, Queen Augusta's face turned slightly pale.

"Mr. Bemini, I will tell His Majesty exactly what you said! All situations will be decided by Your Majesty!" Queen Augusta replied to Count Bemini.

"Yes!" Count Bemini then left the Tuileries Palace.

Shortly after Count Bemini left, Queen Augusta once again issued an order to Mokar, asking him to immediately go to the French Academy of Sciences to find several academicians majoring in economics.

After receiving the order, Mokar quickly found several academicians for Queen Augusta. Queen Augusta asked the academicians some banking and financial issues, and asked whether the issuance of two bank notes would be beneficial to the country. social impact

Although the academicians' answers are different, their core point is that two types of bank bonds will not have much impact, but two over-issuances of bank bonds will have a big impact. The over-issuance of bank bonds will lead to Bank bonds depreciated rapidly, causing inflation.

France's finances would also cause massive turmoil.

After listening to the academician's explanation, Augusta had some ideas. Then she expressed her gratitude to the academician and ordered Mokar to send the academician back safely.

At the same time, the French Military Hospital in Constantinople, thousands of miles away from Paris.

Since Vernia led a medical team to Sevastopol and jointly established the Sevastopol Military Hospital with Nightingale.

The Constantinople Military District Hospital is also admitting fewer and fewer patients. Except for a few patients in relatively bad conditions (mainly because of psychological problems and need to go to Constantinople to change their mood), the vast majority of them The patients were treated directly in Sevastopol.

Gradually, the Constantinople Military District Hospital, which was originally responsible for medical treatment, became a "psychological rehabilitation center for middle and senior officers" (jokingly called), and many medical staff were seconded to Sevastopol Hospital.

The number of medical staff in the entire Constantinople Military District Hospital was reduced from more than 600 to 700 people at its peak to more than 100 people now.

However, even though the number of people in the Constantinople Military District Hospital has been significantly reduced, the basic functions it undertakes have remained basically unchanged.

Because in this group of hospitals, there is still a big shot who is dying.

He is Marshal St. Arnaud, marshal of the French Empire and count of Sevastopol. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyua.comm

At this time, he had been tortured by illness for a long time. His bloated and hot body, haggard face, sunken and dull eyes... The once majestic commander had disappeared, leaving only a man who was as weak as a gust of wind. fallen patient.

And the reason why he is still holding on here without falling is because he can witness the final victory with his own eyes, and he wants to accept it as a commander.

However, it was obvious that he couldn't hold on anymore. The pain in his abdomen had defeated all his will, and now he no longer wanted to hold on.

so tired! So be it! Then take a break! Just leave the rest to His Majesty!

Marshal Saint-Arnaud gradually closed his eyes.
