Make France Great Again

After listening to Jerome Bonaparte's story about the Marquis of Allais's views on France's sea power, Dicko showed an expression of surprise. He did not expect that there would be someone in the world who thought exactly the same as him.

In order to reverse the naval department's lack of attention to the idea of ​​maritime power, Dicko spent a lot of effort. Many naval commanders in important positions were transferred to civilian departments due to disagreements with their ideas, or were forced to retire.

As a result, a large number of aristocratic naval officers were forced to transfer and replaced with a group of frustrated civilian officers.

Dicko's actions encountered strong resistance from aristocratic officers, so much so that the noble naval officers secretly called Dicko the "Dictado of the Navy."

Of course, those frustrated civilian officers really loved Dico. Without Dico's eclectic promotions, they might not be able to get ahead in their lives.

The navy of this era still belonged to the nobility, and the probability of getting ahead in the navy was even lower than in the army.

Take Montauban, the newly appointed commander of the 1st Paris Division, for example. It took him more than 24 years to go from being an ordinary lieutenant-level officer to a colonel.

Remember, these twenty-four years are not the twenty-four years of peace. Montauban participated in the Spanish expedition, fought with the Arabs in Algeria for more than twenty years, and captured the Arab national hero. If it were not for Jerome If Bonaparte discovered it, he would probably have to wait until 1855 to be promoted to the rank of brigadier general, and then to the rank of major general.

In the Navy, if a capable ordinary person does not have extraordinary luck, he may not be able to reach the rank of colonel in his lifetime. The navy's internal ranking system is even stricter than that of the army.

It is conceivable how happy the members of the Navy were when Minister Dicko pulled down some of the aristocratic navy who had just left their jobs.

"Your Excellency, what position do you want the Marquis of Allais to hold?" Minister Dico asked Jerome Bonaparte cautiously.

If it was recommended by an ordinary person...even if it was recommended by a colleague who was also recommended by the minister, Dicko would politely refuse, because the Navy Department has been able to come to this point based on iron-clad rules, and Minister Dicko must also abide by this rule.

However, the President is not within the scope of the Navy Department's rules. Secretary Dicko knows that he must first meet the President's needs before he can continue to plan his strategic goals.

"It's up to you!" Jérôme Bonaparte said lightly and kicked the balloon in front of Dico.

"Then..." Dico thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, how about letting Mr. Marquis serve as the assistant minister first?"

Jérôme Bonaparte looked at Dicko in surprise. The assistant minister was not a small official. Every word and deed represented the minister's will.

It can be said that he is the kind of naval officer who has a small but powerful position.

Dicko, who misunderstood Jerome Bonaparte's expression, quickly explained to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, after all, the Marquis of Allais has not been in the navy for almost two years. If he is promoted rashly, it will affect the deployment of the entire navy. ! I plan to let him be an assistant first to familiarize himself with the navy's business, and when the time is right, I will appoint him as the local naval commander."

"Mr. Minister, you don't have to explain anything to me!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Dicko: "If I am the president of the entire country, then you are the president of the navy. The entire navy will obey your command!"

Jérôme Bonaparte pretended to respect Dico completely, which made Dico feel a surge of mixed emotions.

"Okay, Mr. Minister! It's time for me to leave! There is still a meeting waiting for me to complete!" Jerome Bonaparte glanced at the bright sunshine outside the window and said to Dicko.

Dicko hurriedly got up to say goodbye to Jerome Bonaparte. After Jerome Bonaparte declined, Dicko just walked to the door of Minister Jérôme Bonaparte's office.

Minister Dicko, who watched the president leave from the window, immediately called his state secretary and explained some situations to the state secretary.

"Let the design institute revise the gunboat plan. You can try to remove the full gun deck and use a central gun position! At the same time, thicken the gunboat's iron sheet!" Dicko conveyed the order to the Secretary of State, and then added: "If so As long as it doesn’t affect the performance of the entire gunboat!”

After all, Dicko still didn't believe Jérôme Bonaparte's views on ironclad ships.

Sometimes you have to obey the leadership.

"Yes!" the State Secretary responded immediately.

"And bring the information about the retired Marquis of Allais to my office!" Dico continued.

"clear"

…

After leaving the Admiralty Building, Jérôme Bonaparte finally arrived at the Elysée Palace after a lot of trouble.

It was already a quarter past nine, less than 15 minutes before the time agreed by Jérôme Bonaparte.

Jérôme Bonaparte, who was sitting in the living room with a tired look on his face, slept in a half-lying position on the sofa and fell asleep unconsciously.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

It wasn't until Jérôme Bonaparte's ears heard calls again that he woke up from the haze.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Jerome Bonaparte finally saw the people around him clearly. He yawned and said to everyone present: "I'm really sorry, yesterday..."

As he spoke, Jérôme Bonaparte yawned again.

Everyone present showed understanding smiles.

It was only when Jérôme Bonaparte was completely awake that the meeting officially began.

The meeting was attended by Justice Minister Rouet, Finance Minister Fuld, Interior Minister Baros, Railways Minister Morny, Public Works Minister Pesini, War Minister Regno, State Secretary Saint-Arnaud and the Secretary General. Walewski, this meeting is a crucial life and death meeting for the Bonapartists, and the vast majority of people who join the meeting are very important candidates for the future process.

Jerome Bonaparte looked around, and saw determination, anxiety, and excitement in their eyes.

Although everyone's expression is slightly different, the word "ambition" is revealed in everyone's eyes.

The Bonapartists are originally a gathering of careerists. It is impossible for people without any ambition to join the Bonapartists, and they will also not be willing to follow Jérôme Bonaparte in a coup.

The meeting started after Jerome Bonaparte woke up. Jerome Bonaparte cleared his throat and said coldly: "Everyone, I think you know why I invited you here!"

Everyone present nodded, of course they knew Jérôme Bonaparte's intention.

Seeing everyone present nodding in unison, Jérôme Bonaparte showed a pleased smile and said: "Throughout the ages, the winners have been those who have set goals and acted decisively! They can work hard for a goal and stay dormant for ten years, even For twenty years, whenever he had the opportunity, he would immediately seize them."

As he said that, Jérôme Bonaparte stretched out his hand and made a grabbing movement, and his expression became extremely serious: "For me, winning is the only thing in my dictionary! We can only win if we keep winning." What are we paying now? The reason why the goddess of victory favors us is because we are more decisive than them, when they are still fighting for power in the parliament. We have already taken control of the government and army in Paris. So as long as we do not hesitate, then The weak National Assembly is no match for us!"

Everyone present smiled. They had long been ready to settle the accounts with those guys in the National Assembly.

"Now we have entered a new stage! We must formulate a new plan!" Jerome Bonaparte's expression was stern, but he could not conceal his triumphant look. He turned his eyes to Valeff Ski: "Secretary-General Walewski, how is the sorting and summarization of the petitions in the secretary's office going!"

Valewski reported to Jérôme Bonaparte with a serious expression: "Your Excellency, as of today, the Secretariat has received petitions from the northern, central and western provinces, and without exception they have chosen to support us! In terms of public opinion, we don’t have to worry at all!”

"Okay!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded with satisfaction, and he turned his eyes to Rouet: "Mr. Rouet, can the Ministry of Justice help us avoid certain constitutions... After all, we use bright swords and guns. Disband them!"

"You don't have to worry at all, Your Majesty! You represent the will of all the French people, and no constitution can be higher than the will of France." Eugène Rouet replied in a calm tone, his expression and eyes were very much like a wave of revolutionaries. Nabar analyzed: "After we win, we can make laws! At that time, who can stop us! We can make as many laws as we need! Your will is the embodiment of the law!"

"Okay!" Jérôme Bonaparte applauded Eugène Rouet. He then turned his attention to Morny and Pesini: "Morny, Pesini, how are you two?"

Morny and Pesini also ensured that there would be no mistakes.

"During the coup, Paris must be cut off from the outside world. Not a single train can leave the railway during that time! Our enemies are not just in Paris!" Jérôme Bonaparte warned again. Find the book garden www.zhaoshuyuan.com

Immediately afterwards, Jérôme Bonaparte asked Interior Minister Baros about police issues.

After receiving the assurance that Baros would restrain the police during the coup, Jérôme Bonaparte also gave Baros a few words of encouragement.

During the coup, the police just don't cause trouble for them.

"Minister Fuld, how prepared are you for the Bank of France loan?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked about the situation of the Bank of France loan.

Fuld, who serves as one of the directors of the Bank of France, said to Jérôme Bonaparte: "The Count of Argou is actively wooing the shareholders of the Bank of France to support you. Many shareholders have already been wooed by him and turned back. It won't be long before bank loans will be If it can be approved in the name of a bond, you will definitely not miss the time!”
