Make France Great Again

Richard Metternich, standing on the trestle of the military port, looked at the workers working in an orderly manner on the transportation port terminal in the distance, and he couldn't help but have a look of surprise on his face.

Of course, Richard Metternich was not surprised by the dock workers, but by the strict discipline of the dock workers.

The workers on the dock were like ants working along a fixed trajectory. Their discipline was comparable to that of some regular army troops. He really couldn't figure out what force kept them in place.

Even the stevedores in London and the Seine docks were not like them, and the stevedores in Vienna were even worse than the former two.

Richard Metternich couldn't help but suspect that the stevedores in front of him were regular army troops.

At this moment, Jerome Bonaparte's voice reached Richard Metternich's ears and said: "You manage the military port quite well!"

"This is all thanks to you!" Minister Dick said to Jérôme Bonaparte: "If it weren't for the management method you designed, Toulon Military Port would not be what it is now!"

Management method?

Richard Metternich glanced at Jérôme Bonaparte subconsciously. Judging from what Minister Dico just said, the reason why Toulon Port became what it is now is related to Jérôme Bonaparte.

For the first time, Richard Metternich felt that there really was an "omnipotent" monarch in the world. No matter what aspect, Jerome Bonaparte seemed to be involved.

Compared with Jerome Bonaparte, the monarch he was loyal to was really far behind!

At this moment, he suddenly wanted to ask Jerome Bonaparte how many things he had in his mind.

However, Richard Metternich still did not rush to ask Jerome Bonaparte.

After all, Jerome Bonaparte is still a monarch after all, and Richard Metternich’s question is really a bit too much.

While Richard Metternich was thinking, he suddenly felt a hand hanging on his shoulder.

He immediately came back to his senses and looked at the owner of the hand.

That's right! It was Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Mr. Richard, what do you think?" Jerome Bonaparte patted Richard Metternich and asked Richard Metternich proudly.

"Your Majesty, I think Minister Dick managed the military port very well! Although there are many workers in the port, every worker works in an orderly manner." Richard Metternich complimented Jerome Bonaparte responded.

Then the conversation changed and he mustered up the courage to ask Jérôme Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, what is the management method that Minister Dico just mentioned?"

“This!” Jerome Bonaparte pondered for a moment and then told Richard Metternich: “Actually, it’s not a secret, it just requires enough money and strict discipline!

Workers working in such ports are not paid monthly, but based on the unit price of each piece. The price of transporting different things onto the ship is also different, and each transportation link is closely linked to the next. If any link is delayed, workers in the entire link will suffer losses.

Therefore, if they want to get this salary, they must strictly restrain themselves and at the same time supervise the workers in the previous transportation process.

If there is a flaw in any transportation process, then this person will be squeezed out by workers in the entire process and then be forced to leave! "

The management method mentioned by Jerome Bonaparte is essentially to use "hard-working" workers to control "lazy" workers. When the "lazy" workers are squeezed out, hard-working workers will naturally occupy the majority. .

"Is this enough?" Richard Metternich showed a little doubt on his face, and he did not believe what Jerome Bonaparte said.

"That's all right!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded to Richard Metternich with a firm tone. He didn't want to tell Richard Metternich about his establishment of a yellow trade union at the Toulon military port. nirvana.

Yes, the facts are just as Richard Metternich thought.

It is a fool's errand to control workers through simple supervision. Therefore, Jérôme Bonaparte also established a yellow trade union. On the surface, the purpose of this yellow trade union is to seek welfare for workers, but in fact it is Jérôme Bonaparte's It was created to prevent the establishment of real trade union organizations. Its purpose was to weaken the will of workers who wanted to resist.

All it takes is the "workers" (scabs) in the union to spread some rumors, for example: the Italians may come to snatch their jobs, so that the workers in the port will have a sense of employment crisis, so that they will be obedient.

After all, a large number of Italians enter France to work in southern France through Savoy and Nice every year. Their prices are lower than those of local French workers. Therefore, many businessmen prefer to hire those lovely and hard-working Italians.

Of course, they could also unite with the Italians to protest, but the consciousness of workers during this period was not yet so high.

However, even if they really wanted to unite, Jérôme Bonaparte would order people to destroy it.

In the 19th century, when nationalism was on the rise, calling for proletarian unity was basically impossible.

The reason why Jerome Bonaparte was unwilling to tell Richard Metternich about the yellow union was because he did not want the Austrian Empire to accelerate too quickly.

It is best to use yellow unions and nationalism together. The use of nationalism in the Austrian Empire will only lead to a dead end.

Seeing that Richard Metternich was still doubtful, Jérôme Bonaparte decisively ended the topic, and then ordered Minister Dicko to take them to the location of the new battleship.

Under the leadership of Minister Dick, Jérôme Bonaparte and Richard Metternich walked to the end of the trestle and arrived at the spot where the French warships were parked.

Richard Metternich's expression gradually changed from the previous indifference to shock, because what caught his eyes was a whole row of battleships. They stood neatly on the sea like giants, giving people a huge feeling. impact.

In front of a giant battleship, anyone will feel how small they are!

At this time, Richard Metternich couldn't help but think of the battleships of the Austrian Empire in Venice Port. Compared with these battleships in front of him, the battleships in Venice Port were like children playing house.

The warships in front of them are only part of France's military port in Toulon, and some of the warships are currently in the Black Sea area.

If these two parts are added together, they should be comparable to the British fleet in the Mediterranean! Richard Metternich thought to himself.

When Richard Metternich's eyes swept across the battleships in the naval port one by one, his eyes stayed on the battleship in the middle.

Because this battleship is very different from other battleships. Other battleships are made of wood as the hull, but the battleship in front of you is made of a mixture of human iron hull and oak, with additional layers on the outside of the hull. Laying a layer of steel plate (mm armored deck, from the perspective of later generations, this armored deck's ability to defend against artillery is not too strong, but at least it pointed the way for later ironclads)

This method of making warships from iron can be said to have subverted Richard Metternich's "common sense" and made him have to doubt whether the warship in front of him could be used in real combat.

"Your Majesty, we used an iron hull according to your instructions, and at the same time laid an armored deck on the iron hull to increase the defense capabilities of the entire ship.

However, due to the iron hull used in the hull itself, in order to reduce its weight, we reduced the number of 6 164 mm guns based on the experience of the previous battleship ("Napoleon" was equipped with 36 164 mm guns). Minister Dico explained to Jerome Bonaparte eloquently: "The length of this ship is meters, the width is meters, the displacement is 6326 tons, and its draft and speed are meters and knots respectively... "

When Minister Dick told Jerome Bonaparte all the fleet data, Jerome Bonaparte compared it with the previous "Napoleon".

Whether it is from the captain (the length of the Napoleon is 17 meters), displacement (5529 tons), or speed (knots), this fleet is far superior to the Napoleon.

It can be said to be the first ironclad ship in the true sense. Of course, the "Napoleon" can also be regarded as an ironclad ship.

After all, with the Napoleon as a pioneer, this new battleship could be born smoothly.

"You did a good job!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded, and then asked Minister Dicko if he had named the battleship.

"Your Majesty, if you don't mind, we would like to name it after you!" Minister Dicko responded to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"My name? That's inappropriate!" Jerome Bonaparte shook his head.

"Then it's up to you to name it!" Minister Dicko handed over the naming rights of the battleship to Jérôme Bonaparte. Find Shuyuan www． zhaoshuyuan． com

Jerome Bonaparte took a careful look at the battleship in front of him, then glanced at Richard Metternich and said: "Mr. Richard, what name do you think I should give him?"

"Your Majesty, it depends on you!" Richard Metternich replied immediately. He also looked forward to what Jerome Bonaparte would give the ship a name.

After Jerome Bonaparte walked back and forth for a few times, he looked at the battleship in front of him again: "Since Richard Metternich accompanied me to watch this battleship, let's call it Friendship. ! I hope that the friendship between the French Empire and the Austrian Empire can be as indestructible as this battleship. What do you think! Mr. Richard!"

"Your Majesty, this name couldn't be more appropriate!"
