Make France Great Again Chapter 463

Lord Cowley, who received a reply from Jerome Bonaparte, left the Tuileries Palace under the sudden cold wind. His body was cold, but his heart was warm.

Jerome Bonaparte, who stood in front of the carved window and watched Lord Cowley gradually disappear from sight, turned away from the window, sat back in his chair, and processed the documents handed to him by the Secretariat.

With the passage of time, the temperature in Paris has gradually decreased, and the citizens living in Paris also consciously took off their autumn clothes and put on slightly thicker clothes. winter.

However, all Parisians, including Jerome Bonaparte, are unaware that this winter is coming sooner than they thought.

By mid-January, a cold snap from Siberia swept across Western Europe, dealing a heavy blow to the citizens of Paris who were not ready for the arrival of General Winter.

The citizens of Paris who have not yet recovered can only step up their reserves of firewood and race against time. Before batches of wood have not completely left the suburbs of Paris, they have already been used by the middle-class Parisians with capital and connections (here refers to the Lawyers and small and medium-sized bureaucrats in the city of Paris snapped up, so that the entire Paris timber market was in short supply, and the price of each piece of wood gradually rose with the shortage of supply, thus creating a phenomenon of "wood is more expensive than gold" .

Such a vicious price increase incident naturally attracted the attention of Jerome Bonaparte. In order to ease the relationship between supply and demand, and also to eliminate the dissatisfaction of the Parisians as much as possible, Jerome Bonaparte deliberately called the Minister of Public Works to his side, The Ministry of Public Works was ordered to bring in a shipment of lumber from the nearby provinces to satisfy Paris, which was engulfed in a lumber panic.

At the same time, Jerome Bonaparte also called in George Haussmann, a senior official in the Seine Province, and issued an order to the high official who abused the power of the people: he asked the senior official George Haussmann to protect as much as possible during this period of time. The survival of vulnerable groups in Paris, Paris must not have a large-scale death phenomenon!

Baron George Ottoman, who was set KPI by the emperor, had no choice but to use the city government's budget, which was not very rich, to balance the soaring price of the timber market.

With the double intervention of the Ministry of Public Works and the municipal government of the Seine department, the timber panic that originally appeared in Paris has improved a little.

However, God seems to want to oppose Paris, not giving it any chance to breathe.

A snowstorm that was more than half a month earlier than in previous years fell on Paris, which is known as the heart of France. In just one night, the entire Paris became a city covered in silver.

It can be said that General Winter brought back the price that Jerome Bonaparte worked so hard to stabilize with his harsh means. Not only did the price of lumber continue to soar even more than before, but the price of food in Paris rose as the panic spread.

These are not the worst cases, the worst is Paris in such extreme conditions, people are freezing to death every day.

Fear will spread throughout Paris like a plague, and the first thing that Parisians in panic will think of is the government department. Those careerists and potential republicans lurking in Paris will guide the Parisians just like the Napoleons attacked the Orleans government. Attack governments with unlimited liability regimes.

The contradictions originally lurking underwater will resurface, and the people of Paris, who endure the cold, will definitely swarm up and overthrow the current government.

Whoever harms the lives of the people of Paris will be overthrown by the people of Paris.

The original Orleans Dynasty was because the food could not reach Paris in time, which made the people of Paris feel resentment. The resentment from the food aroused the resentment of the citizens for the political situation of the Orleans Dynasty, which detonated Paris.

Moreover, these conclusions Jérôme Bonaparte looked at the agricultural price list of the Ministry of Agriculture for the Paris region of 1847-1848, summarizing the discoveries of the cause of the Revolution.

Jerome Bonaparte, who sensed in advance that public opinion was slipping in a direction unfavorable to his rule, once again summoned all the cabinet ministers except Hai (Minister Dicot was inspecting the Toulon region) Minister Lu to the Tuileries Ligong had a brief meeting.

Jérôme Bonaparte, who stayed in the room with the burning wood wall, first made a brief summary of the sudden blizzard, and made a systematic summary of the current situation in Paris.

Then he turned to ask the cabinet members present what he could do.

The Minister of Public Works immediately spoke up. He first criticized himself for not being able to deliver the firewood on time, and then he gave the basic situation of the main traffic arteries and railway lines from Paris to the nearby provinces, and then to Gerrault. M. Bonaparte said that, affected by the blizzard, there are still a lot of unindustrial jobs in the national construction factories in Paris. The government can order them to clear the main traffic lanes, so as to stabilize Paris.

Later, as the interior minister, Pessini also said that in the interior ministry, there is also a part of the labor force that can be used, and they can be sent to clear the road.

With the example of the Minister of Public Affairs and the Minister of the Interior, the remaining departments also understood what Jerome Bonaparte meant, and they all told Jerome Bonaparte that their subordinate departments also had labor and could help to clear the way. .

As a result, a vigorous "Battle of Paris" was launched. Members from the Ministry of Public Works, the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, the Ministry of Railways, and the Ministry of Justice, under the coordination of the leaders of various departments, cleaned up the snow on the main roads and suburbs in an orderly manner.

Eugène Schneider, chairman of the planning committee, also under the suggestion of Jerome Bonaparte, converted some of the factories that were originally used for military logistics production into shovels for civilian use to ensure the speed of cleaning.

Perhaps because of the encouragement of these people, many people also began to join the team to clear the snow.

Even Jérôme Bonaparte walked out of the Tuileries Palace in the cold to clear the snow with the citizens of Paris.

When the citizens of Paris saw Jérôme Bonaparte and they wanted to clear the snow, part of the grievances lurking in their hearts disappeared.

People recalled the efforts made by the government to balance the price of wood, and the resentment disappeared once again.

Thanks to a concerted effort inside and outside Paris, it took only two days for the first shipment of wood to arrive in Paris.

The panic caused by the blizzard is gradually fading. The arrival of the first batch of timber has made the market again full of confidence in the French government, and the prices of timber and grain have also decreased.

After this battle, Jérôme Bonaparte once again won the favor of the citizens of Paris, and some people who hold a neutral faction also began to lean towards the current system.

For the next few days, although Paris continued to experience intermittent snowfall, no snow had the potential to subvert the government as suddenly as the first blizzard.

In the early morning of January 24, when the long-lost sunlight shrouded the land again, the "defense battle" that took nearly a week ended completely.

"We deeply miss the citizens who died in this 117 blizzard, and we also express our gratitude to all the citizens who participated in this "Blizzard Defense War"..." This is George Osman, a senior official of the Seine Province, in the city on January 24. A concluding speech delivered at the government gates.

Although the cold is not far away, the temperature in Paris is still below zero, but the citizens of Paris still stick to the city hall and listen to the speech of Mayor George Haussmann.

After the speech, there was warm applause around the city government with George Osman as the center.

The severe cold brought Paris not only the shortage of living materials, but also the military supplies destined for the Ottoman Empire.

Until the snow was completely cleared along the railway line, Jérôme Bonaparte could only pass on a portion of the orders originally allocated to Norindustrie in Paris to Eugene Schneider of Le Clézeau.

Eugene Schneider, which accepted the order transfer, also began to overload.

It was under such difficult circumstances that the troops of Britain, their allies, also began to act as demons.

When Wallevsky passed the telegram from Constantinople to Jerome Bonaparte about the position of the British Kingdom's army, the angry Jerome Bonaparte called Lord Cowley directly in front of him and pointed to The Map of the Near East confronts Lord Cowley.

"Lord Cowley, would you please tell me where the British army is now?"

"Your Majesty, the first objective of the Kingdom of Britain is not to fight Russia, and to protect the Ottoman Empire from the Russian Empire!" Lord Cowley replied slowly to Jerome Bonaparte: "We think Gallipoli is the best defensive location!"

It turns out that ~www.mtlnovel.com~ has been nearly 3 months since the Kingdom of Britain issued a threat of war to the Russian Empire.

During these three months, it took Britain two months to recruit soldiers, elect commanders, and elect officers, and the rest of the month was devoted to discussing how the soldiers would work together. Transported to the Ottoman Empire, there was simply no time to survey the terrain.

And Gallipoli is what they think is the best defensive spot.

"Lord Cowley, please tell me! The British army should get the strategic resources it needs from this place where birds don't shit!" Jerome Bonaparte asked Lord Cowley.

"What?" Lord Cowley asked back to Jerome Bonaparte with a bewildered expression, as if he knew about it for the first time.

"I mean the British Kingdom, how can we find supplies in this area where there is only one dirt road running through the island! There is not a single family around here that can provide us with daily necessities! Our fleet can't be here either. Build effective supplies!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Lord Cowley word for word
