Make France Great Again
Chapter 944 The calm before the storm
"Sir Pesini, I will never forget your help to me!"
Those were Mokal's last words before leaving, and they were the only words Pesini remembered from the conversation.
After Mokar left, Pesini couldn't wait to take the note on the table in his hand. At this moment, Pesini's eyes were full of greed, and he couldn't help but muttered, "What on earth is that Mokar guy doing?" How much money was negotiated for that position!”
You know, as Minister of the Interior, he only accumulated about 3 million francs in his seven years of career.
Most of the money was obtained by himself by speculating on stocks. Mokar paid for it with 200,000 francs, and promised to give him 500,000 francs plus an open space when the deal was completed.
From this point of view, when Mokar served as the general manager of Tuyinleli Palace, he should be similar to him at least.
"No wonder His Majesty wants to replace him from the position of the steward of Duyinleli Palace!" Pesini muttered again, and then a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "This poor guy still wants to return to Duyinleli Palace. Yinleli Palace!
Don’t you really know that you can’t clearly see your current situation? "
As he spoke, Pesini gently rubbed the bill in his hand with his hand again, his eyes full of joy.
After a while, Pesini sighed and said to himself: "Hey! I still have to hand this note to His Majesty! I don't want to end up like him!"
After saying that, Pesini stood up and put the note worth 200,000 francs in the drawer, and he planned to hand it to the emperor the next time he met with him.
When Pesini put the red wine and crystal glass back to their original positions, the knock on the door came again. Pesini closed the cabinet door and responded to the door, "Please come in!"
The door of the office opened, and State Secretary Victor appeared in Pesini's office, "Your Excellency Pesini, I have handed over everything to the chief of the Paris Police Department!"
"Victor, you did a good job!" Pesini nodded with satisfaction.
"Sir, what do we need to do next?" Victor asked Pesini.
Pesini shook his head and responded to Victor, “We don’t have to do anything!
Let the National Intelligence Service do the rest! "
"But if this happens, will it look like we are..." Victor hesitated.
"What? So incompetent? So weak?" Pesini said in a calm tone.
"Your Majesty, that's what I mean!" Victor quickly waved his hand and said to Pesini.
"Nothing! Victor!" Pesini still smiled and said, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs has become what it is now, and there is indeed some incompetence!
However, the main responsibility of our Ministry of Interior is not to compete for power!
It is about maintaining law and order in Paris as much as possible. As long as we can do this, we have achieved success.
Capturing and interrogating spies is a matter for the National Intelligence Service! "
"But they were clearly ours before!" Victor Lu said unconvinced.
"You also know that was before!" Pesini tapped his fingers on the desk rhythmically, "Now as our government has more and more functions, each department must carry out refined management!
The National Intelligence Service will inevitably separate the Ministry of the Interior. Even if Marcel Jerug is not around, a new Director of the Intelligence Service will be created!
Our Ministry of Internal Affairs will never go back to what it was before! "
Pesini sighed again, and Victor said nothing after hearing this.
"Okay, let's not say these words! Let's just wait quietly for the show to start!"
There was a sense of schadenfreude in Pesini's tone.
…
On the other hand, after Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the "Workers' House", they then visited the types of houses in the "Workers' House" accompanied by the Seine Department Municipal Committee .
The rent types of the workers' homes are divided into three categories, one is a one-bedroom with an area of only about 30 square meters, a two-bedroom with an area of only 43 square meters, and a three-bedroom with an area of only 54 square meters.
The one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments do not have toilets. If you want to go to the toilet, you have to go to the only toilet at the end of each floor.
The three-bedroom apartments have relatively complete facilities and the rent is slightly more expensive.
But generally speaking, it is still within the range of Parisian workers (workers here refer to slightly technical jobs such as bricklayers and carpenters, and their wages are slightly more profitable than ordinary workers).
For workers in Paris, being able to live in something like a one-bedroom apartment is pretty good.
Not to mention, a one-bedroom apartment does not necessarily have just one person living in it, with an area of 33 square meters.
If you want to live there, you can definitely accommodate a family of three or four.
By the way, "Workers' Homes" also has an implicit policy.
For workers with two children who move in, the rent will be reduced to 90%.
When a worker with three children moves in, the rent is reduced to 80%.
And so on, until the reduction reaches 50%.
In other words, you only need to give birth to 5 children, and then they can live in a two-bedroom apartment.
A two-bedroom apartment in a "worker's home" is better than a middle-class house (Wei Wei said).
In this era, children are not a burden to a family, but a "dividend" to a poor family.
Any poor family only needs to raise their children until they are old enough to do child labor, and then they can make money for the family.
Although the money earned by child labor is relatively small, it can still make up for a family's expenses.
The most important thing is that a larger population allows France to mobilize more soldiers.
In order to prevent future France from dragging future Germany too far, Jérôme Bonaparte spared no effort to advocate early and frequent births, and at the same time tried every means to reduce the mortality rate of infants.
So far, this method does have some effect.
But to see how effective it will be, a census will be needed.
The census was taken in 1859.
The topic went off topic. After touring the house types, Jérôme Bonaparte nodded to Georges Haussmann, a member of the municipal committee, "Your Seine provincial government has cooperated very well!"
"Your Majesty, this is what we should do!" George Osman responded humbly to Jerome Bonaparte.
Immediately afterwards, George Osman told Jerome Bonaparte.
In order to express the respect and love of the "Workers' Homes" for the emperor, they will call this type of building "Bonaparte Building"
After listening to George Osman's words, Jerome Bonaparte's mouth twitched slightly. This title reminded him of Khrushchev, the leader of a certain red empire more than a hundred years later, who was known as the Corn Emperor. The distribution building for the construction of the Red Empire was also known as the "Khrushchev Building".
The end of the corn emperor was to be overthrown in one fell swoop.
Jérôme Bonaparte did not want to be stained with this unlucky title, so he quickly declined: "No need! I think this building was designed and built by workers, so it should be retained as a "worker's house"! "
After hearing this, George Haussmann shouted that Jerome Bonaparte was "wise".
Later, Jérôme Bonaparte shook hands with several workers who were about to move in and took photos with each other (during the photo-taking process, Jérôme Bonaparte and the workers felt very uncomfortable because they had to maintain the same posture for a long time), Together with Augusta, he walked through the "human wall" formed by the Guards and left the "Workers' House".
During this period, the bold Jérôme Bonaparte also extended his hand to shake hands with the citizens outside the wall. Every citizen who was shaken by Jérôme Bonaparte had excited eyes on his face.
At noon, Jerome Bonaparte and Queen Augusta returned to the Tuileries Palace. After having lunch at the Tuileries Palace, they would go to the Charity Hospital and Welfare Institute.
Just as Jérôme Bonaparte and Augusta arrived at the Tuileries Palace, Marcel Jerug arrived at the Tuileries Palace on the back foot.
"You go to eat first!" Jerome Bonaparte let go of Queen Augusta's hand and said to her.
"Yes!" Queen Augusta nodded in response to Jérôme Bonaparte, and then went to the restaurant alone.
Jerome Bonaparte and Marcel Jerug went straight to a room in the Tuileries Palace to have a conversation!
"How are things being prepared?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked Marcel Jerome straight to the point as soon as he came up.
"Your Majesty, Orsini has been completely tricked!" Marcel Jerug responded to Jerome Bonaparte, and then added, "However, I still recommend arresting them now! "
"We can't arrest them so quickly!" Jérôme Bonaparte shook his head and said to Marcel Jerug, "If we arrest them so quickly, wouldn't our plan be to fetch water?" It’s gone!”
"But, Your Majesty, this is not worth the risk of your life!" Marcel Jerug persuaded Jerome Bonaparte.
"It's worth it!" Jérôme Bonaparte said categorically to Marcel Jerug, and then emphasized alone: "I must take this risk, otherwise, it will be difficult for us to find other opportunities!"
"Only when the Orsini regicide is confirmed, can we legitimately turn the Apennines upside down!" Jerome Bonaparte emphasized to Marcel Jerug, "Otherwise we can only be limited by The rules we make!”
After the Crimean War, Jerome Bonaparte established the Paris System led by France to replace the Vienna System, which was on the verge of collapse.
As the founding country of the entire system, France's first task is to ensure the smooth operation of this system, and its second priority is to maximize France's interests through this system.
What is the Paris System? Simply put, the Paris System is version 2.0 of the European Balance.
In version 2.0, although the Russian Empire suffered an epic weakening, the Austrian Empire and the Kingdom of Sweden have been strengthened to a certain extent.
One plus and one minus, the European equilibrium situation has not been broken because of the Crimean War. The revision of the Paris system is just a change from the previous meeting in Vienna to a meeting in Paris, and the Russian pot fish is compared to the Vienna system. Location changed to France.
Such a result does not seem to have changed much at first glance. In fact, France's situation has been greatly changed.
Now France will no longer receive the hostility of the entire Europe as before, and Jerome Bonaparte has also been accepted by the orthodox monarch.
However, although the Paris System liberated France from the restrictions in the Vienna System, it also restricted some of France's expansionary actions.
Because France cannot destroy the system it has worked so hard to establish on its own.
It takes years to build a system and gain other people's support.
However, it only takes less than a day to destroy this system.
Jérôme Bonaparte did not want the system he established to be destroyed, so he could only choose to take action "passively".
At that time, he thought of Orsini, who assassinated his cousin in history!
If someone like Orsini assassinated him, then Jérôme Bonaparte would have an excuse to intervene in the Apennines.
Therefore, Jerome Bonaparte secretly ordered people to pay attention to the "foreign friends" who tended to be republican in the Paris area, and at the same time pay close attention to the revolutionaries in the British Kingdom who had been expelled by him.
Because Jerome Bonaparte believed that the extreme factions in France and Italy should be connected on issues targeting him.
Otherwise, the historical Orsini would not have been able to figure out Napoleon III's route so quickly.
Unexpectedly, he really followed the ultra-republican Bernard line and found Orsini.
