Make France Great Again

Intensive gunfire came from the Boulogne Forest. After a while, two patrolling forest guards in civilian clothes followed the gunfire and cautiously approached the outskirts of the forest.

As police officers near the Bois de Boulogne area (the forest rangers are a branch of the police that is affiliated with the judicial police and is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Public Works), they have the obligation to enter the forest to check the situation. Such intensive gunfire is by no means ordinary. A safari team, but they did not dare to step into the forest rashly. If they were hit by bullets, their lives and livelihoods would be gone.

After all, the police in the 19th century did not have a complete pension system, and the government was often unwilling to provide pensions after the death of public officials.

Saving money to buy bonds and annuities to ensure a worry-free life for the next generation has become the dream of every public official. Of course, you also need to live long enough.

The price of a life annuity in France requires about twenty years of life to pay back, and more than twenty years is equivalent to the country's wool.

Therefore, every French public official cherishes his life more than ordinary people. Only by living can they gain more value.

Just as the two forest guards were wandering outside the Boulogne Forest, a group of gun-carrying soldiers wearing flat-top military hats, blue button-down tops, and red trousers discovered them.

"What do you want to do!" Several soldiers quickly lined up in a row and pointed their guns at the forest guards and asked sternly.

The forest rangers in charge of the patrol instantly understood that most of the people in the Boulogne Forest were the military. They quickly raised their hands in a gesture of surrender: "Don't shoot! We are the police in this area! Because we heard gunshots , that’s why I came here to investigate the situation.”

"Police?" The soldiers looked at each other and still did not put down their rifles.

"That's right!" The forest guard quickly pointed to the uniform he was wearing and the medal hanging on his chest to explain the situation to the soldiers. They didn't want to die in confusion. "We belong to the judicial police under the Ministry of Public Works, numbered …”

Seeing the two forest guards explaining their identities to them so earnestly, the soldiers' hostility gradually disappeared.

"Put the gun away!" one of the soldiers yelled, and the remaining soldiers raised the muzzles of their guns and put them on their shoulders again.

"Go away! Don't let us see you again!" The soldier yelled at the two forest guards and urged them to leave quickly.

The forest guards who struggled back from the brink of death seemed to have been granted amnesty. They nodded and bowed to express their gratitude to the soldiers.

"Get out! Get out!" The soldier waved his hand to let the forest guard leave.

"Wait a minute!" When the two forest guards were about to leave, a voice came from behind the two forest guards.

The forest rangers hurriedly looked back. They were surprised that the owner of the growing voice was none other than the President of the French Republic, Jerome Bonaparte. Behind Jerome Bonaparte was a group of people wearing military uniforms and medals. Soldiers, judging from the aura emanating from their bodies from the inside out, it can be inferred that the level of this group of soldiers should not be low.

If I had known that it was the President who was shooting randomly in the forest, I would not have dared to come to patrol if I killed them.

Who would have thought the president would show up here.

Jérôme Bonaparte didn't know what the forest guards were thinking. At this time, he was holding a Miné rifle in one hand and looking at the two forest guards with a smile.

"General... Your Excellency the President!" the forest ranger stuttered in response to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Who are you?" Jérôme Bonaparte looked at the forest guards curiously.

The two forest rangers told Jérôme Bonaparte where they belonged.

"Huh? The judicial police are still in charge of the forest?" Jérôme Bonaparte was a little curious. He had always focused on the army, and he only paid attention to the police when he saw them.

In his impression, only those guys from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are police. As for the judicial police, they should be mainly responsible for the administration of justice.

"Your Excellency, the judicial police not only manage the forest, but can also appoint district chiefs and deploy gendarmes..." Two forest guards explained to Jérôme Bonaparte the functions of the judicial police.

Only then did Jérôme Bonaparte realize that the so-called judicial police did not only have the functions of judges. He also had the functions of local chief executive (district chief), armed police (gendarme), ordinary police (police commissioner), and reserve judge. (Justice of the Peace) all intelligence included.

It can be said to be the most core department in the police. However, the subordinate agencies of this department are not controlled by the Police Department under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but are under the intertwined jurisdiction of the Ministry of Public Works and the Ministry of Justice.

"Okay! I understand!" After listening to the forest guard's speech, Jérôme Bonaparte once again felt troubled by France's unique administrative system. The power between departments actually interacted with each other like two balls of hair. Intertwined.

Jérôme Bonaparte didn't need to think too much to know that intertwined departments were bound to produce conflicts of power, and the conflict often ended with the party with more power suppressing the party with less power.

The Police Department is nominally a department, but is actually a subdepartment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Neither the Department of Public Works nor the Department of Justice can compare with the Police Department.

This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is why Justice Minister Rue and former Public Works Minister Morny did not report the situation of the Ministry of Justice to him.

Did he forget to report it or did he do it on purpose?

Thinking of this, Jérôme Bonaparte's new life flashed with a hint of gloom.

If it's just forgetfulness, that's fine! If it is the latter, then Jérôme Bonaparte will have to consider whether the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Railways should be replaced by the same person.

However, Jérôme Bonaparte still wanted to believe it was the former.

Even if the Bonapartists want to fight, they must wait until the special forces have truly won.

There is no group that fights without winning!

Now is not the time to argue with them. Jérôme Bonaparte can only suppress the desire in his heart to call Morny and Rouet over.

"I know! Go!" Jérôme Bonaparte waved to the forest guard.

The two forest rangers fled quickly.

Jerome Bonaparte also returned to the topic again: "Do you think this gun can be used as a new weapon?"

Minister of War Regno, who was very satisfied with the Minie rifle, immediately expressed his position: "Your Excellency, with this gun! Our army's combat effectiveness will be taken to a higher level. I personally hope that every army in France can be equipped with it." This rifle!”

Major General Niel, who is the director of logistics, also expressed his attitude: "Yes! Your Excellency, I think France should be equipped with this kind of rifle!"

"That's right!"

"that's right!"

This group of department leaders who had been tamed by Rennault and Saint-Arnaud successively stated that France should use this kind of rifle.

"I think so too!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded empathetically, and then he turned his attention to General Landon, the Director of the Military Affairs Department, who was the "money bag" of the Ministry of War, and asked half-jokingly and half-seriously: "What does our military chief steward think?"

General Landon, who is responsible for the war budget and allocation of the Ministry of War, responded with a frightened expression: "I think the Minie rifle can be equipped into the army!"

"What is the budget situation of the Ministry of War? Do you need an additional budget?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked about the budget again. He knew very well the principle that the army must not be impoverished no matter how hard it is, and the soldiers must not suffer no matter how hard it is.

Not to mention that he still needs to rely on this army to teach the Russian Empire a lesson, and the budget cannot be sloppy at all.

"The military's annual budget can support the replacement of uniforms!" Langdong responded decisively.

"What are you going to do with the previous guns?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked again.

"According to past practice, the MTE1842 musket will be gradually withdrawn from active troops and then sealed!" Logistics Director Major General Niel gave Jérôme Bonaparte, a solution commonly used by the French army.

"Perhaps, we can change our approach!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to the generals present: "We can sell a batch of unwanted weapons to some countries that want them!"

"Your Excellency, are you talking about the arms trade?" Landon immediately understood what Jérôme Bonaparte meant.

"That's right!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded and said: "There are many places in the world that need arms, such as the Cape of Good Hope, Indochina, or the Republic of Mexico! I believe the Republic of Mexico will be very willing to avenge its shame! By the way. , and Haiti, I believe their emperor must need these things!"

General Landon hesitated for a moment and then said: "Your Excellency, the places you mentioned have no extra money except Mexico!"

"No money can be mortgaged! Land, silver, tariffs, anything that can be mortgaged is fine! As long as they are connected to the world!" Jérôme Bonaparte confidently taught the army how to make money.

If I had known that France more than 100 years later would be able to subvert a country for the sake of selling arms.

Why did the moral integrity of the French army become so high in the 19th century?

Jérôme Bonaparte did not know that France's arms trade was steadily advancing along with France's industrialization process, and of course the only moral integrity was gradually abandoned in the huge arms trade. Find the book garden www.zhaｏshuyuaｎ.com

"General Lanton, Major General Niel!" Jérôme Bonaparte gave the order.

"Yes!" Langdon and Niel responded in unison.

"You two will count and collect the firearms that are about to be abandoned or are about to be abandoned! I will help you find a sponsor!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Lanton and Niel.

Although the military was not a big problem in the 19th century, Jérôme Bonaparte still wanted to isolate the army from money.

After all, once the military engages in business, it will not only affect its combat effectiveness, but also cause the military to have autonomy and become less obedient.

"Understood!" Faced with Jérôme Bonaparte's order, Niel and Landon could only agree.
