Make France Great Again

"Grace? God! You want me to forgive a guy who tried to assassinate me? A villain who wanted to disturb France?"

Jerome Bonaparte responded to Baron Hubey with an exaggerated tone, but he didn't have the slightest intention to kill James Rothschild and his son.

Even the so-called shooter was a scene directed and acted by Jérôme Bonaparte

As guessed after Baron James Rothschild was imprisoned, Jerome Bonaparte has no interest in killing Baron James Rothschild, and then annexing his industry and bank split, what he wants is a stable banker.

As the so-called economic base determines the superstructure, killing a bank with a long history in a capitalist country that still has a feudal remnant base will inevitably lead to secondary turmoil in the financial market and panic in the banking industry in Paris.

Although Jerome Bonaparte has ordered Achilfold to strengthen the control of the financial market, the supervision in the 19th century is not as good as that in the 21st century. Even in the post-capitalist era of the 21st century, France still has a large number of wealthy businessmen. Because they are unwilling to bear high progressive taxes and miscellaneous direct taxes, they chose to flee. Their flight caused a large amount of funds from France to flow to other parts of Europe.

Not to mention that the control of the financial market in modern times in the 19th century was obviously not as strict as that in the 20th century. Once the banking industry felt panic, they would inevitably choose to flee funds.

At that time, I am afraid that it will become a situation of a large amount of capital outflow from the Third Republic. After all, capital will only flow towards what they think is profitable.

Without fully committing the Bank of France to government supervision, Jerome Bonaparte could not wait to let them go on with their hypocrisy.

If you want to make the Bank of France obedient, Jerome Bonaparte, the president, can't do it.

Unless he can go further...

The topic is far away. What Jerome Bonaparte needs is James Rothschild to be obedient. As long as he does not violate Jerome Bonaparte's policies and actively cooperates with the government, the president will naturally let him go home.

According to the Constitution of the French Republic, the President has the power of amnesty.

No matter how serious the crime you have committed, as long as the president is willing, he can grant you an amnesty.

This power was something that Louis Philippe of the Orleans Dynasty could not have imagined.

"What! Assassinate you! God!" Baron Hubey couldn't help but exclaimed after learning the "truth" from Jerome Bonaparte. He was sure that the president would never let James go without benefit Rothschild.

Once the news of James Rothschild's imprisonment reaches Vienna, the Vienna Stock Exchange will also face large-scale turmoil.

My little ambassador has no ability at all to stop this tide.

After weighing the pros and cons, Baron Hubey still decided to intercede for James Rothschild. He gritted his teeth and said, "Your Excellency, in order to maintain the stability of the world financial market, I think you should continue James Rothschild's full A tolerant attitude."

"Huh!" Jerome Bonaparte snorted coldly, and threatened with a sneer: "Mr. Ambassador, your current behavior is tantamount to blatantly interfering in our country's internal affairs! I have the right to ask my Ministry of Foreign Affairs to protest your behavior." !"

Regarding the "threat" of Jerome Bonaparte, Baron Hubey had no choice but to play the "German" card again: "Mr. President! If you are not willing to forgive Baron James Rothschild, then Austria's finances are bound to face exhaustion." The depletion of finances will lead to a decline in the combat effectiveness of the army, and then our struggle against Prussia will also fail."

"You mean to say that the finances of the Austrian Empire are bound up with the James Rothschilds!" Jérôme Bonaparte demanded Count Hubey.

Earl Hubey responded with a wry smile: "Although we really don't want to admit this,

However, since the Habsburg prince (Metternich) came to power, the national debt of the empire was sold by the Rothschild family. "

Baron Hubey "confided" to Jerome Bonaparte the financial distress of the Austrian Empire with a wry smile. He believed that he would know the situation of the Austrian Empire even if he did not tell him.

In other words, there is no country in the entire European foreign ministry that is unaware of Austria's bond issue.

Baron Hubey paused for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "All Austrian national bonds on the Paris Stock Exchange are sold by Baron James Rothschild on our behalf!"

"Mr. Baron, you don't want me to help you stabilize Austria's national debt!" Jerome Bonaparte looked at Baron Hubey in "shock". He really didn't expect that even their ambassador would not want the Austrian national debt trust it.

Hubey smiled wryly and did not speak. If the national debt of the Austrian Empire was really strong, he would not risk his face to find Jerome Bonaparte. He could only say euphemistically: "The Austrian Empire is in a period of economic transition... ..."

"I see..." Jérôme Bonaparte decisively interrupted Hubey's diplomatic tone, then turned his back to Baron Hubey and pretended to be thinking for a moment and said, "I will consider your suggestion, Ambassador. , you can go back first and wait for my news!"

"Thank you very much!" Baron Hubey thanked Jérôme Bonaparte.

Escorted by Pessini, Baron Hubey left the Elysee Palace, while Jérôme Bonaparte returned to his study.

Half an hour later, Persini reported to Jerome Bonaparte that the President of the Bank of France, Count Arcourt, had an audience.

"Come so soon? I am going to find him myself!" muttered Jérôme Bonaparte to himself.

No need to guess, Earl Algou also interceded for James Rothschild.

"Let him in!" Jerome Bonaparte ordered Persini.

Count Algou was taken to the study.

"Sit down, please!" Jerome Bonaparte stretched out his hand to signal Count Arcourt to sit down.

Count Argout took off his hat and sat down after bowing.

"Count Arcourt, do you have any important business to come to me today?" Jerome Bonaparte asked knowingly.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you have imprisoned James Rothschild in a detention center! I don't know if the news is true!" The old fox Count Arcourt also asked Jérôme Bonaparte pretending to be unsure whether the news was accurate.

"That's right! Because James Rothschild committed the murder of the president, I imprisoned James Rothschild in prison. The assassination of the president should be punished by me in the French constitution?" Jerome Bonaparte took it for granted Stance.

Earl Argut obviously understood that the assassination of the president should be punished by death, but he always felt that this matter was strange. Based on his knowledge of James Rothschild, he should not be so stupid as to think that he could assassinate the president, and then prisoner the president!

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask! Is there any evidence that Baron James Rothschild ordered his subordinates to assassinate you!" Earl Algou decided to rescue James Rothschild.

This is not only to maintain the unity of the Bank of France, but he also took a fancy to the branches of the Rothschild family all over Europe.

The Bank of France, which was hit hard by the Revolution of 1848, lost a lot of gold, and they needed enough gold as a reserve to survive.

Apart from the Bank of England, there is no other bank that can meet the gold demand of the Bank of France, and the Rothschild branch in England has a relatively small voice in the Bank of England.

The Bank of France can buy a batch of gold from the Rothschild Bank.

[During the Crimean War and the Franco-Austrian War, the Bank of France purchased part of the gold from the British Rothschild Bank in order to stabilize the bank discount rate and prevent malicious fluctuations in exchange bonds. It was Lionel Rothschild who presided over this transaction. At that time, the business intersection between the English branch and the French branch had gradually diminished. 】

"This...not yet..." Jerome Bonaparte, who wanted to let go of James Rothschild, hesitated for a moment before responding: "However, it can be confirmed that the killer is from the Orleans Gang, and their leader has accepted Rothschild's responsibility. A sum of money from the housekeeper!"

"Is it possible that the butler acted without authorization!" Seeing that things had turned around, Earl Argut decisively "betrayed" the baron butler. In his opinion, the role of the butler was to serve the director.

"This..." Jerome Bonaparte said hesitantly, "it's not impossible!"

"Your Majesty, it must have been the butler's decision that caused this to happen!" Earl Argut swore, as if he had witnessed the hookup between the butler and the killer.

"That's it..." Jerome Bonaparte tapped on the table lightly, and said slowly, "If a servant commits a crime, the master must express it!"

Count Arcourt understood what Jerome Bonaparte meant, and the President "has never forgotten" the property of the James Rothschild family.

"Mr. President, how much more do you need!" Count Argou asked Jerome Bonaparte directly.

Jerome Bonaparte raised two fingers and said: "Thirty million francs!"

Jerome Bonaparte's quotation made Earl Argout startled. The bankers could indeed collect tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of francs in a short period of time, but most of the money was not their own. People trusted They deposit money in their bank, and they have to worry about the appreciation of the money, and if they don't pay attention, they will fall into a deficit.

Jerome Bonaparte's 30 million francs is a quarter of the principal of the James Rothschild branch, which is simply a severe cut to the body of the Rothschild Bank.

Of course, Earl Argou was also happy to see his "good friend" bleed.

The Earl Argout and the directors of the Bank of France did not want an overly powerful financial family to overwhelm them, so they repeatedly acquiesced to Jerome Bonaparte's actions.

Some members of the Legislative Assembly were even bought by them with money.
