Make France Great Again

After the agricultural reforms of Jean Dulles and the "strike" of Louis Pasteur, there was nothing more for Jérôme Bonaparte to worry about. Over the next three months, France moved towards a fully industrialized country at a steady and slow pace.

In the Lorraine and Calais regions, steel factories were built one after another due to Jerome Bonaparte's administrative orders and bank loans. The enhanced Bessemer steelmaking method made the high-phosphorus iron ore in the Lorraine region Wherever it comes into play, the steel production value of Lorraine and Calais has gradually surpassed Le Crezo, adding a new "engine" to France's military industry.

The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Railways, and the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce also stepped up their cooperation. With the cooperation of the railways, the army, and telegraphs, the French troops assembled at a speed several times faster than before, and then transported the assembled troops one by one to the designated location. With the continuous integration of the three departments, the efficiency of railway transportation is getting faster and faster.

Time came to early September as the troops were gathering and mobilizing again and again, but a new problem appeared in front of Jérôme Bonaparte, the Ministry of War and the Secretariat Office.

As the speed and efficiency of troop mobilization increased, the French army's logistics support mechanism became increasingly stressed, resulting in a situation where the troops arrived at their destination, but the supplies failed to arrive on time.

Although Jerome Bonaparte repeatedly ordered the Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of War to formulate a material support process as soon as possible, the Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of War were never able to come up with a solution that satisfied Jerome Bonaparte.

This made Jerome Bonaparte so angry that he couldn't sleep well for several days.

Even if you fall asleep, you will be surprised by the "scary" scene in your dream!

"Ah!" Jerome Bonaparte was once again awakened by his nightmare. He dreamed that Moltke led a million Prussian troops to crush them overwhelmingly, and his army could not even provide the most basic material support. There was no way to make up for it, and the entire army was filled with a sense of defeatism. In the dream, the old Moltke crushed his army just like history.

After waking up, Jérôme Bonaparte stood up and sat on the bed. After a while, he felt a slight chill on his back and stretched his hand to his back. At this moment, he realized that his back was already wet.

Maybe it was because the weather in September was too hot, or maybe it was a nightmare, but now he felt uncomfortable all over.

With the moonlight outside the window, he touched the pocket watch under his pillow, opened it and took a look at the time.

It’s a quarter past four in the morning, more than an hour before the sun rises.

However, he didn't feel sleepy at all now. Putting on the casual clothes scattered on the ground, Jerome Bonaparte left the bedroom.

The maid patrolling the Tuileries Palace immediately saluted Jérôme Bonaparte when she saw him appearing in the corridor. He waved his hand to reject the cumbersome aristocratic etiquette and told the maid that he needed a hot bath.

After hearing Jerome Bonaparte's order, the maid quickly summoned her companions who were also patrolling to give Jerome Bonaparte what he needed for a bath.

Jérôme Bonaparte returned to his study alone to continue processing the documents that he had not processed the night before.

Half an hour later, there was a knock on the door, and Jerome Bonaparte stopped writing and opened the door.

The maid standing at the door was startled by the sudden appearance of Jérôme Bonaparte. After a brief panic, the maid regained her composure and told Jerome Bonaparte that everything she needed for a bath was ready.

Under the leadership of the maid, Jérôme Bonaparte came to the bathroom. Entering the bathroom alone, he took off all his clothes and entered the wooden tub. He soaked his body in the water, leaving only his head. He was thinking about logistical solutions, and he always felt that there seemed to be something fishy in them.

Jérôme Bonaparte, who had been thinking for a long time in the water, suddenly thought of a person, and perhaps he could get the solution from his mouth.

Just do it, Jérôme Bonaparte quickly climbed out of the tub, wiped his body briefly, put on the casual clothes he had prepared and left the bathroom.

Before leaving the bathroom, Jérôme Bonaparte glanced at the time on his pocket watch again. It was already five-thirty-five.

The summer sun slowly rises from the horizon. The warm sun dispels the coolness of the night and also dispels the desolation of Paris.

The tranquility of the night no longer exists, and the city once again wakes up from its dream.

"Your Excellency!" Jérôme Bonaparte left the bathroom and came to the living room to see Mokar, the director of general affairs. Mokar greeted Jérôme Bonaparte respectfully.

"Mokar!" Jérôme Bonaparte, who was eager to get the answer, gave an order to Mokar in a hurried tone: "Prepare a car for me immediately!"

"Yes!" Mokar responded quickly.

Not long after, a carriage appeared in the courtyard of the Tuileries Palace.

"Let's go!" Jerome Bonaparte called Mokar and left together.

"Yes!" Mokar did not ask too much and left directly with Jerome Bonaparte.

After the carriage left the Tuileries Palace, Jérôme Bonaparte told the place where he was going.

The carriage galloped through the streets of Paris and soon arrived at the destination of Jerome Bonaparte's trip.

"Get out of the car!" Looking at the mansion outside the window, Jérôme Bonaparte opened the door.

Mokar also got out of the car behind Jérôme Bonaparte, and the two of them arrived in front of the mansion.

Jerome Bonaparte knocked lightly on the bronze door of the mansion, and the voice of Major General Niel, the logistics director, came from inside the mansion: "Who?"

Valley/span "I, Jerome Bonaparte!" Jerome Bonaparte said lightly.

There was the sound of staggering running in the room, and the door of the mansion opened and Major General Niel appeared in front of Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Executive... Your Majesty the Consul!" Niel hurriedly saluted Jérôme Bonaparte.

After Jérôme Bonaparte returned the favor to Niel, he said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Won't you invite me in for a seat?"

Niel woke up in a hurry. He hurriedly invited Jérôme Bonaparte to come in and asked his wife to prepare a meal.

Niel's wife also took action to prepare things after seeing Jérôme Bonaparte's arrival.

Jérôme Bonaparte and Niel sat on the slightly shabby red sofa and talked.

"Your Excellency, why did you suddenly think of..." Major General Niel seemed a little uneasy. He didn't understand why Jerome Bonaparte suddenly visited.

"Don't be nervous!" Jérôme Bonaparte smiled and comforted Niel: "I am a casual person, so I take the liberty of disturbing you today..."

"No! It's really an honor for you to come to me!" Major General Niel quickly complimented Jerome Bonaparte.

"I'm here to ask you what you think about the recent logistics deployment of the War Department!" Jérôme Bonaparte asked Niel.

"This..." Major General Niel looked at Jerome Bonaparte hesitantly. He didn't know whether he should say it to Jerome Bonaparte.

Niel believed that not only himself, but also the minister and others could see the problem, but this problem could not get around the genius emperor, so they did not dare to speak out.

"Don't worry! I won't blame you!" Jerome Bonaparte saw Niel's hesitation, and he boldly encouraged Niel.

"Your Excellency, how do you understand what a military station is?" Niel, who was "encouraged" by Jérôme Bonaparte, said cautiously.

"Military depot?" Jérôme Bonaparte thought for a moment and then responded: "A place where soldiers are trained and distributed?"

"Yes!" Niel first confirmed Jérôme Bonaparte's partial understanding, and then added: "The role of the military depot is not only to manage the training of soldiers, but also to serve as a transfer station for soldiers! In the past, it also Responsible for gathering supplies, the army can receive supplies every time it arrives at a military station!"

"You mean, the current military depot no longer has the ability to gather supplies?" Jérôme Bonaparte instantly understood what Niel meant.

"That's right! The genius emperor abolished the function of supply gathering for troops. He believed that the best way for the French army is to choose local supplies!" Major General Niel "justified" Emperor Napoleon with his admiration for Emperor Napoleon: "In that era, on-site supply could indeed improve the mobility of combat troops!"

At this time, Jerome Bonaparte still did not understand what Niel meant. His uncle had abolished the supply function of the military depot and switched to on-site supply to improve the mobility of the French army.

This was indeed an effective method in the early 19th century, when railways were still in their infancy.

With the opening of the railway, the French army no longer needed to drag their families with them, and the railway could transport the army to the front line faster.

The once convenient on-site supplies became a factor that confused the army, and useless military depots stood up again.

You only need to set up military depots along the railway, and then the railway can deliver the supplies to where they are needed faster, thus saving the troops the time of requisitioning supplies on the spot.

In the final analysis, it is the changes of the times. In just thirty years, the form of war has undergone earth-shaking changes.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Jerome Bonaparte complained.

Major General Niel smiled awkwardly and said nothing. Who in the entire war department dared to accuse the emperor of bad things in front of the emperor's nephew? It was like an old man eating arsenic - he was tired of living.

No one dared to directly refute the emperor's correctness. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuａ.com

"Can the functions of the French Military Station be restored?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked Major General Niel again.

Major General Niel thought for a moment and then responded to Jérôme Bonaparte: "I'm afraid there are some difficulties! Not to mention restoring the supply function of the depot, even the distribution and training functions..."

"Damn it, how did the army become like this!" Jerome Bonaparte couldn't help but cursed in a low voice.

"Your Excellency, please don't be angry!" Major General Niel touched his left cheek awkwardly and said: "The army has not participated in a large-scale war for decades. All our experience was gained in Algiers. ! The army’s laxity can also be forgiven..."

"You mean... if France wants to quickly restore its previous strength, it must conduct a large-scale military operation?"
