Make France Great Again
Chapter 718 Cleaning up the Crimean Peninsula (Part 2)
After reading the plan, Jerome Bonaparte patted Leboeuf on the shoulder and encouraged him to go ahead and do it. France (or Jérôme Bonaparte) will definitely not forget his contribution.
Encouraged, Leboeuf immediately patted his chest and told Jérôme Bonaparte that he would not let down His Majesty the Emperor's trust in him. At the same time, he also asked Jérôme Bonaparte intimately what the two additional incomes should be. How to deal with it.
Jerome Bonaparte naturally understood that Leboeuf's implication was that he wanted to hand over these two "windfalls" not to the army's accounts, but to Jerome Bonaparte.
"How much money can we get from railways and horses?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked Leboeuf after pondering for a moment.
When Leboeuf heard what Jerome Bonaparte said, he thought that Jerome Bonaparte was going to pocket all the money. He quickly replied to Jerome Bonaparte: "These two incomes It adds up to about 5 million francs! However, there are also some depreciation payments for guns and guns...it adds up to more than 10 million francs!"
"10 million francs!" Jérôme Bonaparte smacked his lips, "It is indeed a large amount of money! Let's do this! Leboeuf, you distribute all 10 million francs in the name of the Logistics Committee!"
"Send them all?" Leboeuf looked at Jérôme Bonaparte dumbfounded. He really couldn't imagine that Jerome Bonaparte would issue such an order.
"Yes! Send them all!" Jérôme Bonaparte emphasized.
Later, Jerome Bonaparte took out a note worth 100,000 francs from his arms and handed it to Leboeuf.
"Your Majesty, I cannot..." Leboeuf wanted to refuse Jérôme Bonaparte's reward.
"You deserve this!" Jérôme Bonaparte thrust the note into General Leboeuf's arms, and warned him again: "Don't use any of that money! If there is any need, You can mention it to me anytime!”
"Yes!" Leboeuf nodded and said to Jérôme Bonaparte.
Later, Jérôme Bonaparte suddenly asked General Leboeuf if he knew about the handling of the spoils by French officers.
Leboeuf told Jérôme Bonaparte that he himself had obtained trophies by raiding tribes in Algiers, so he still knew something about the sale of stolen trophies.
Since the army itself is engaged in business without capital, many illiterate sellers do not know how to maximize the benefits of the loot in their hands, so the things they robbed need to be exploited by merchants.
"Is there no one to help them organize a relatively equal platform?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked doubtfully.
"It's easier to say in Algiers! If those people want to cooperate with us for a long time, they must accept our arrangements! However, in a sudden war like now, it is difficult for the army to find trustworthy businessmen! Many Soldiers, just for the sake of temporary pleasure, sell valuable items at extremely low prices!" Leboeuf replied to Jérôme Bonaparte.
After listening to Leboeuf's words, Jérôme Bonaparte was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said to Leboeuf: "Okay! Got it!"
Immediately afterwards, after Leboeuf chatted with Jerome Bonaparte for a while, Jerome Patterson entered the room and whispered to Jerome Bonaparte the arrival of Marshal Pellissier. .
Seeing this scene, Leboeuf quickly stood up and said goodbye to Jérôme Bonaparte.
"Wait a minute!" Jerome Bonaparte stopped Leboeuf, and then winked at Jerome Patterson.
After receiving Jerome Bonaparte's "signal", Jerome Patterson turned and left the room. After a while, Jerome Patterson entered the room again with a tray in his hands.
On the tray was a silver medal of the Legion of Glory. A look of excitement flashed across Leboeuf's face. He straightened his body and waited quietly for Jérôme Bonaparte to personally bring the medal to him!
Under Leboeuf's gaze, Jérôme Bonaparte picked up the medal from the tray, slowly handed it to Marshal Leboeuf's chest, and pinned the medal on him with his own hands!
"Thank you!" Jérôme Bonaparte patted Leboeuf on the shoulder and said softly.
Leboeuf shook his head, expressing his honor at serving the Empire.
Then, under the order of Jerome Bonaparte, Leboeuf was sent out of the Perekop Fortress by Jerome Patterson.
Jérôme Bonaparte, led by his servants, arrived at the door of Marshal Pellissier's room.
When Jérôme Bonaparte pushed in the door, he saw Marshal Pelissier and Valewski at first sight. At this time, they were sitting on the sofa, sipping black tea carefully.
The arrival of Jérôme Bonaparte made them put down their teacups and stand up to greet him.
"I've kept you waiting!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded to Marshal Pélissier with an apologetic expression.
Although as a monarch, he naturally has the privilege of not keeping time, but it is not a very commendable thing to always make others wait.
"Nothing! We just came here!" Marshal Pellissier hurriedly handed the steps to Jérôme Bonaparte.
"Okay! Marshal Pellissier, you don't need to find a step for me. Let's get down to business!" Jérôme Bonaparte waved his hand and responded to Marshal Pellissier.
"Yes!" Marshal Pellissier quickly resumed his military style and responded to Jérôme Bonaparte in a sonorous tone.
"Marshal Pelissier!" Jérôme Bonaparte also showed a serious expression and said seriously to Marshal Pelissier: "In view of your outstanding performance in the Crimean War, through the Legislative Yuan and the senators With the unanimous consent of the Senate (the Legislative Yuan and the Senate do not know about this yet, Jerome Bonaparte is ready to get on the train first and then make up the votes), grant you the title of Count Bakhchisarai!
I hope you can continue to work hard in the coming time and continue to open up new territories for France! "
When Marshal Pellissier heard that he had been awarded the title of earl, he felt as if he had been hit by a lottery ticket worth one million francs, and he felt a little elated.
You must know that this world line is different from the world line where your cousin is the emperor. The titles of the Second Empire are not so casual that as long as a place is conquered, the titles of earl and duke can be freely distributed.
From the early days of the establishment of the empire to now, including Pelissier, it has only consecrated two counts and three marshals, and it seems to be on par with the First Empire.
There is a saying that rare things are valuable, so Pellissier naturally cherishes the title of earl.
Of course, if Marshal Pellissier knew that he in another world line had obtained Duke Malakhov just by conquering Sevastopol, he would definitely mutter in his heart that Jerome Bonaparte was stingy.
"Your Majesty, I will use my silent empire to be loyal until my heart stops beating!" Marshal Pellissier responded to Jérôme Bonaparte in a firm tone.
"Very good!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded with satisfaction, and then told Marshal Pellissier that he would hand over the mansion that corresponds to the title of Count and the Medal of Glory that matches the status of Count after returning to France. Pelissier.
Marshal Pellissier nodded to express his understanding. Later, Jérôme Bonaparte asked Marshal Pellissier when all French troops would be able to evacuate the Crimean Peninsula.
Marshal Pellissier told Jérôme Bonaparte that the complete withdrawal of France might take one to two months.
After all, almost half a year has passed since France landed on the Crimean Peninsula.
It is simply impossible to transport all 100,000 soldiers back in a short period of time.
Therefore, they can only choose to send all their troops back in batches. In this case, it will definitely take a long time.
"When will the first batch of soldiers start setting off?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Marshal Pellissier.
"A week later!" Marshal Pellissier said to Jerome Bonaparte, and then suggested that Jerome Bonaparte return to France with the first group of soldiers.
"Nonsense!" Jerome Bonaparte scolded Marshal Pellissier with a frown, "I want to leave here with the last group of soldiers!"
"Your Majesty, where is the Crown Prince..." Walewski, who was standing aside, hesitated to speak.
"Friedrich, what's wrong with him?" Jerome Bonaparte was stunned for a few seconds and asked.
"His Majesty Pope Pius IX said that he will personally be there when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is full moon to baptize His Highness!" Walewski reminded.
"Huh!" Jerome Bonaparte snorted coldly, with a sneer on his lips and mocked: "Our Pope Pius did not come to baptize Frederick in person when he was born (for Frederick Bonaparte was baptized by the Archbishop of the Cathedral of Nancy. The baptisms and coronations of the Bourbon dynasty were all handled by the Cathedral of Nancy)!
Instead, he traveled thousands of miles to Paris during the full moon!
Really dedicated! "
Faced with Jérôme Bonaparte's ridicule of Pope Pius IX, Marshal Pelissier and Valewski did not dare to discuss it.
As a monarch, Jérôme Bonaparte can discuss some things at will. As ministers, if they are caught by interested people (the influence of the clerical sect in France is second only to the three mainstream sects) after making casual comments, It's inevitable to make a mess.
However, it is not the fault of Jérôme Bonaparte for ridiculing Pius IX. His behavior was indeed a bit too eager for quick success.
Valewski believed that if Pius IX had not received news of the complete surrender of the Russian Empire, he would have had to sit on the fence for a while.
Then he would run to Paris in a hurry like now, for fear that Paris would do something filial.
