Make France Great Again Chapter 264

After listening to Jérôme Bonaparte's narration about the Marquis of Allais' question of French sea power, Dicko showed a surprised expression. He did not expect that there would be someone in the world who had the same idea as him.

At the beginning, in order to reverse the lack of attention paid to the idea of ​​maritime power by the naval department, Dicko gave up a lot of effort. Many commanders of the naval department in important positions were transferred to the civilian department or forced to retire because of their disagreement.

As a result, a large number of noble naval officers were also forced to be transferred and replaced by a group of unhappy civilian officers.

Dicko's actions were met with strong resistance from the noble officers, so much so that the noble naval officers scolded Dicko behind his back as "Dick Tweed in the Navy".

Of course, those unhappy civilian officers really love Dicko to death. Without Dicko's eclectic promotion, they'd probably never be able to get ahead in their entire lives.

The navy of this era still belongs to the territory of the nobles, and the probability of wanting to succeed in the navy is lower than that in the army.

Take Montauban, the newly appointed commander of the 1st Division in Paris, who spent more than 24 years from serving as an ordinary lieutenant officer to a colonel.

Remember, these twenty-four years are not twenty-four years of peace. Montauban participated in the Spanish expedition, fought the Arabs in Algeria for more than twenty years, and captured the Arab national hero, if not Jérôme If Bonaparte was excavated, he would probably have to wait until 1855 to be promoted to brigadier general and then major general.

In the Navy, if a capable ordinary person does not have extraordinary luck, he may not be able to achieve the rank of colonel for a lifetime. The internal typography of the Navy is even more strict than that of the Army.

One can imagine how happy the members of the Admiralty were when Minister Dicko dismounted some of the aristocratic navy who ate vegetarian food.

"Your Excellency, what position do you want Marquis Allais to hold!" Minister Dicko asked Jerome Bonaparte carefully.

If it is recommended by ordinary people... Even if it is recommended by a colleague who is also recommended by the minister, Dicko will refuse, because the Admiralty can go so far as to see the same iron rules, and Minister Dicko must also abide by this rule.

While the president was not within the purview of the Navy Department, Secretary Dicko knew he had to meet the president's needs before he could continue to plan his strategic goals.

"You can figure it out!" Jerome Bonaparte kicked the balloon in front of Dicko with a light sentence.

"Then..." Dicko thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, do you want Mr. Marquis to be the assistant minister first?"

Jerome Bonaparte looked at Dicko in amazement. The Assistant Minister is not a petty official. Every word and deed represent the will of the Minister.

It can be said that it is the kind of small and powerful naval officers.

Deco, who misunderstood Jerome Bonaparte's expression, hurriedly explained to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, Marquis Allais has not stayed in the navy for almost two years after all, and rash promotion will affect the deployment of the entire navy. I plan to use him as an assistant to get acquainted with the business of the Navy first, and when the time is right, I will appoint him as a local naval officer."

"Mr. Minister, you don't have to explain anything to me!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Dicko: "If I am the president of the whole country, then you are the president of the navy. The whole navy will follow your command!"

Jérôme Bonaparte put on an air of complete respect for Dicko, which made Dicko feel mixed emotions.

"Okay, Mr. Minister! It's time for me to leave! There is one more meeting waiting for me to complete!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Dicko, looking at the bright sunshine outside the window.

Dicko hurriedly got up to bid farewell to Jerome Bonaparte, and when Jerome Bonaparte declined, Dicko just held the door of Jerome Bonaparte's minister's office.

Minister Dicko, who watched the president leave from the window, immediately called his secretary of state and explained something to the secretary of state.

"Let the design institute revise the plan of the gunboat. You can try to remove the full-pass gun deck and use the central gun position! At the same time, thicken the gunboat in the iron sheet!" Dicko conveyed the order to the Secretary of State, and then added: "If so Do it without affecting the performance of the entire gunboat!"

In the end, Dicko still didn't believe Jerome Bonaparte's views on ironclads.

Sometimes you have to obey the leader.

"Yes!" The Secretary of State responded immediately.

"And bring the information of the retired Marquis Alai to my office!" Dick continued.

"clear"

Jerome Bonaparte, who had left the Admiralty Building, finally arrived at the Elysee Palace after some tossing.

It was already a quarter past nine, and it was less than 15 minutes before Jerome Bonaparte's appointment.

Jerome Bonaparte, who was sitting in the living room, slept on the sofa in a half-lying position with a tired face, and fell asleep unconsciously.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

It wasn't until Jerome Bonaparte's ear heard a shout again that he woke up from the haze.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Jerome Bonaparte finally saw the people around him clearly. He yawned and said to everyone present, "I'm really sorry, yesterday..."

Then, Jerome Bonaparte yawned again.

Everyone present showed an understanding smile.

The meeting officially started only when Jerome Bonaparte was completely awake.

Attending the meeting were Minister of Justice Rouet, Minister of Finance Fuld, Minister of the Interior Baroche, Minister of Railways Morny, Minister of Public Works Pessini and Minister of War Reno, Secretary of State San. Arnault and Secretary of the Secretary Wallewsky, this meeting is a crucial Bonapartist meeting of life and death, and the vast majority of those who join it are candidates who are important to the future process.

Jerome Bonaparte looked around, and in their eyes Jerome Bonaparte saw determination, anxiety, and excitement.

Although each person's expression is slightly different, the word "ambition" is revealed in each person's eyes.

The Bonaparte faction was originally a gathering of ambitious people. It was impossible for people without any ambition to join the Bonaparte faction, nor would they be willing to follow Jerome Bonaparte in a coup d'état.

The meeting began after Jerome Bonaparte woke up. Jerome Bonaparte cleared his throat and said coldly, "Everyone, I think you know why I invited you here!"

Everyone present nodded, of course they knew Jerome Bonaparte's intentions.

Seeing the unanimous nod of everyone present, Jerome Bonaparte smiled gratified and said: "Through the ages, the winners are those who have some set goals and act decisively! They can work hard for a goal for ten years, and even dormant for ten years. For 20 years, he would immediately grab them whenever he had the chance."

Then, Jerome Bonaparte stretched out his hand and made a grabbing motion, his expression became extra serious: "For me, only winning is in my dictionary! We can only be worthy of it if we keep winning. What we pay now? The goddess of victory has pity on us because we are more decisive than them, when they are still fighting for power in parliament. We have the government and the army in Paris. So we as long as we do not hesitate, then The weak National Assembly is no match for us at all!"

Everyone present smiled, and they were already ready to settle the accounts with those guys in the National Assembly.

"Now we have entered a new stage! We must formulate a new plan!" Jerome Bonaparte's expression was stern, but the corners of his mouth could not hide his triumphant look. He turned his eyes to Vallef Skye: "Secretary Wallevsky, how's the process of sorting out the petitions in the secretary's office!"

Wallevsky reported to Jerome Bonaparte with a serious expression: "Your Excellency, as of today, the Secretariat has received petitions from the northern, central and western provinces, and they all choose to support us! In terms of public opinion, we have nothing to worry about!"

"Okay!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded with satisfaction, he turned his eyes to Rouet: "Mr. Rouet, can the Ministry of Justice help us avoid certain constitutions... After all, we are using bright knives and guns Disband them!"

"You don't have to worry at all, Your Majesty! You represent the will of the entire French people, and no constitution can be higher than the will of France." Eugène Rouet replied in a flat tone, his demeanor and eyes were like a wave Nabal analyzed: "After we win, we can make laws! At that time, who can stop us! We can make as many laws as we need! Your will is the embodiment of the laws!"

"Okay!" Jerome Bonaparte applauded Eugène Rouet, and he turned his eyes to Morny and Persini: "Morny, Persini~www.mtlnovel.com~ you two How about one?"

Morney and Pessini also pledged that there would be no mishaps.

"During the coup d'état, Paris must be cut off from the outside world. During that time, the railway could not drive a single car! Our enemies are not only in Paris!" Jerome Bonaparte warned again.

Immediately afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte asked the Minister of the Interior, Baroche, about the police.

After receiving assurances from Baroche that he would restrain the police during the coup d'état, Jerome Bonaparte also encouraged Baroche.

During the coup, the police just don't make trouble for them.

"Minister Foulder, how are you prepared for the Bank of France loan?" Jerome Bonaparte asked about the Bank of France's loan situation.

Foulder, one of the directors of the Banque de France board of directors, told Jerome Bonaparte: "The Count of Argoux is actively trying to win over the shareholders of the Banque de France to support you, and many shareholders have already been drawn back by him. It will not be long before the bank loan If it can be approved in the name of bonds, we will never miss the time!”
