Make France Great Again

After the other ministers left one after another, only Minister Renault and Jérôme Bonaparte were left in the living room.

"Minister Renault, actually..." Jérôme Bonaparte smiled with relief and said in a slightly friendly tone: "Actually, you don't have to do this!"

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of War must ensure that the decrees are consistent!" Minister Renault's face was slightly weathered, revealing the determination of a soldier: "If I continue to stay in the position of the Ministry of War, for you, me and Saint-Arnaud Generals are a problem, especially at this juncture!"

Minister Renault knows that he has problems, and now he decisively chooses to withdraw, just to let Saint-Arnaud and the president express their gratitude.

After all, Saint-Arnaud and he were both major generals, and serving as secretary of state was a dereliction of duty.

Rennault himself also understood that Saint-Arnault came to take over his position one day. Although he had some complaints about this matter, he did not delay the president's established policy because of this matter.

While cooperating with General Saint-Arnaud, Minister Regno gradually understood the reason why the president asked General Saint-Arnaud to take his place.

General Saint-Arnault, who came from North Africa, indeed had a more decisive attitude than him and was determined not to give up on completing his mission.

Minister Renault, who stayed in the center all year round, just wanted to seek cooperation through mutual compromise, while Saint-Arnaud mercilessly kicked out all those who did not submit to them from the army.

This kind of character can only be honed in Algeria, between life and death. Minister Renault gradually recognized Saint Arnaud and became his deputy.

The soldier's vague feeling told him that after he helped the president kill Changarnier, it was probably time for him to leave.

"Your Majesty, I have been thinking about this for a long time!" Minister Renault showed what he thought was an open-minded smile to Jérôme Bonaparte: "At the beginning, I didn't want to leave either! But as time goes by, As time went by, I found that there were still many areas where I was not up to par, so I asked to be transferred somewhere..."

"Since Minister Renault has already felt this, I can't dissuade you!" Jerome Bonaparte shrugged and said to Minister Renault: "You go to Strasbourg as commander. how?"

"I am willing to obey your orders!" Regno responded to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"After arriving in Strasbourg, you must pay close attention to the developments in Germany and report to Paris immediately if there are any problems!" Jerome Bonaparte cautiously warned Minister Regno: "I suspect that the Kingdom of Prussia There might be a big war with the Austrian Empire!”

In the memory of Jerome Bonaparte, the Kingdom of Prussia and the Austrian Empire will have their first probing attack on Omimutz on November 6. However, the King of Prussia fell to his knees faster at that time, and the Kingdom of Prussia The war with the Austrian Empire ended without any war.

The reason why the Kingdom of Prussia was not punished after kneeling was partly due to Felix Schwarzenberg's strategic considerations, and partly due to the support of France and Russia, especially the fact that his cousin almost kneeled and licked him. style support.

However, the cousin's support did not receive the goodwill of Frederick William IV, but instead gained the hostility of Frederick William IV.

Historically, my cousin remotely supported the Kingdom of Prussia in the Legislative Assembly one day and deployed a large number of troops on the border. The next day, he was slapped in the face by Frederick William IV of the Kingdom of Prussia who established a conservative coalition to intervene in France.

When Jerome Bonaparte saw this paragraph in his previous life, he felt ridiculous.

What was the reason that led his cousin to decide to go to Prussia? Is it a Jingpu plot?

After truly experiencing Europe where conservatism was rampant, Jérôme Bonaparte suddenly understood Louis Napoleon's thoughts.

Putting aside God's perspective, Bonaparte's notoriety far exceeded that of the Russian Empire after the Congress of Vienna. Even the Austrian Empire, which hated the Russian Empire, also had to declare that it disliked France even more.

Based on the history of that time, Louis Napoleon could not completely tear apart the orthodox principles by relying on his own strength. He needed a collaborator and a challenger. The Kingdom of Prussia and the Kingdom of Sardinia happened to meet the status of challengers.

At that time, it seemed that the Kingdom of Prussia was far from being a rival to the Austrian Empire. Supporting the weak and resisting the strong was France's strategy against Germany.

If a powerful country wants to annex a weak one, France will turn into a righteous warrior and strike hard at it.

It was precisely after seeing this that Jerome Bonaparte's cousin chose to support Prussia in resisting the Austrian Empire to achieve his goal, but he looked down upon it.

He overestimated the integrity of Frederick William IV and underestimated the power of the Kingdom of Prussia.

This cost him a heavy price in the subsequent Franco-Prussian War. It can be said that the Battle of Omimutz directly affected the judgment of Russia, Austria, and France on Prussia.

If the Kingdom of Prussia's kneeling technology was not so fast, Prussia's subsequent unification war would have been dangerous.

Jérôme Bonaparte believed that Felix Schwarzenberg, who had the support of France and Russia, would never be satisfied with merely punishing Prussia. As long as the Austrian Empire oppressed the Kingdom of Prussia hard enough, then The Kingdom of Prussia will definitely resist.

As long as Prussia mobilizes, its 550,000-strong army will definitely shock the entire Europe.

If the Kingdom of Prussia defeats the Austrian Empire, then Jérôme Bonaparte can advocate the theory of revenge for the Kingdom of Prussia and expand its army.

If the Austrian Empire defeated the Kingdom of Prussia, Jerome Bonaparte could ask Felix Schwarzenberg for the Saar.

If Felix Schwarzenberg chooses to refuse to fulfill his promise, Jérôme Bonaparte can also continue to promote the theory of revenge in the country to expand the army.

Reduce the reserve time, increase the number of annual conscriptions, and establish a mobile guard.

These actions depend on nationalist fervor to drive them.

No matter which aspect, France can win!

Commonly known as a win-win!

Jérôme Bonaparte's instructions made Minister Renault realize the importance of the burden he shouldered. He quickly assured Jérôme Bonaparte: "I will always pay attention to the movements of the Kingdom of Prussia!"

"Minister Renault, you should go back and prepare first! I'm afraid it will be too late by then!" Jerome Bonaparte patted Minister Renault's shoulder and sighed.

"Yes!" Minister Renault nodded to express his understanding, and then left the living room.

October 31, 1850.

Less than a day before the opening of the Legislative Assembly, General Regno, Minister of War, submitted his letter of resignation to Jérôme Bonaparte.

Minister Renault's actions made Montalembert and others a little puzzled. In their impression, Renault had always been a close confidant of the president, so why did he submit his resignation letter at this critical time?

Could it be that the president is no longer able to control the military?

The uneasy Montalembert quickly went to the Elysée Palace. Under the leadership of Valewski, Montalembert met Jerome Bonaparte.

"Your Excellency, President!" Montalembert bowed slightly to Jérôme Bonaparte to show respect.

"Please sit down!" Jérôme Bonaparte invited Montalembert to sit down. He put down his quill and asked with a smile: "Mr. Montalembert, why are you here?"

"Your Excellency, my friends and I are very worried about you, Your Excellency!" Montalembert said tactfully to Jérôme Bonaparte.

Jérôme Bonaparte looked at Montalembert with a half-smile and said, "Mr. Montalembert, you want to ask about the situation in the army, right?"

"That's right!" Montalembert simply stopped being secretive: "My friends and I are very worried about your control of the army!"

"Please rest assured! This is just an ordinary transfer!" Jerome Bonaparte hurriedly explained to Montalembert: "Prussia and Austria are currently experiencing an unprecedented battle, and we must always pay attention to it. , so I made General Reignault the commander of Strasbourg, in order to prevent France from being affected by the war and being forced to get involved."

"In that case, we can rest assured!" Jérôme Bonaparte's camp has not changed and Montalembert and others will not choose to leave. He breathed a sigh of relief and said to Jérôme Bonaparte in a relaxed tone. Nabal said: "Your Excellency, the Legislative Assembly is about to begin!"

"Yes! It's time for me to sort out my speeches for the meeting!" Jérôme Bonaparte smiled and ordered Montalembert to be kicked out.

After Montalembert left the Elysée Palace, Jérôme Bonaparte showed a contemptuous smile, and he muttered in a low voice: "You are worthy of being called the Party of Order!"

The clumsy behavior of the members of the Party of Order really made Jérôme Bonaparte feel shameful.

Compared with them, the members of the Bonapartist faction are really a "clean stream".

It's just that their risky behavior is directly proportional to their corruption. Judging from Marcel Jerug's report, the Bonapartists have amassed nearly 70 million francs in property in recent times.

Among them, Railway Minister Morny and Public Works Minister Pesini were the two most prominent. They used public power to collect funds within the legal scope.

Jérôme Bonaparte once considered whether Morny and Pesini should be kept away from their positions. After careful consideration, Jérôme Bonaparte discovered that the corruption issues of Pesini and Morni were not related to each other. It did not slow down the progress of the project, but accelerated it, so he simply turned a blind eye.

Jérôme Bonaparte could tolerate them as long as French industry grew far faster than the money they embezzled.

On the contrary, they will face the blow of Jérôme Bonaparte at any time.

In the afternoon of the same day, a new appointment letter was issued and General Saint-Arnaud was appointed as the new Minister of War.

At the same time, Brigadier General Leboeuf was appointed as the President's Aide and Secretary General, and the Secretary of State was held by the unknown Benjamin Clemenceau.
