After Passy's report, Jérôme Bonaparte listened to a report by Interior Minister Leon Fuchs on security issues in Paris. In the report, Leon Fuchs implicitly pointed out that Police Inspector Maxime De Kang's "problem" was not mentioned at all about the newly established Counterrevolutionary Investigation Division within the police department.
Jérôme Bonaparte nodded with satisfaction. Guys like Leon Fuchs were rare. He immediately said to Leon Fuchs: "Since you think there is a problem with our police chief, then Replace him!"
Léon Fout, who received the approval of Jérôme Bonaparte, immediately responded: "Mr. President, what should we do with the Rangers under the Inspector General of Police?"
The Einsatzgruppe mentioned by Leon Fuchs is an armed force formed by the ultra-republicans in response to the June Revolution, and it is also one of the only armed forces currently owned by the republicans.
Although the Einsatzgruppe gave the Paris property owners a more satisfactory answer than the army in the June Revolution, the ultra-republican brand it carried disgusted the Party of Order.
"Mr. Barrow, what do you think?" Jérôme Bonaparte set his sights on Barrow. The disbandment of the Einsatzgruppe required Barrow's cooperation to be successful.
"France no longer needs this armed force! Their existence is the greatest crime against the workers!" Barrot said solemnly, and now he seemed to have turned into a left-wing fighter with infinite sympathy for the workers. The word political chameleon This is evident in Barrow.
"Then disband them in the name of civil strife!" Jérôme Bonaparte, who also disliked the republican armed forces, immediately agreed. Then he added: "If some people in the Einsatzgruppe are willing to do what they did in June If they repent for what they did, then incorporate them into the National Guard, there will always be someone responsible for the June incident!"
"Yes!" Leon Fushi, who had received double assurances from the President and Prime Minister, readily accepted the order. Leon, who had endured the police chief and his semi-militarized Rangers for nearly half a month, was about to do something drastic.
After solving the problem of the Minister of the Interior, Jérôme Bonaparte looked around again, waiting for the next minister to report his work.
The ministers who next reported to Jérôme Bonaparte were obviously not as enthusiastic as those reported by the Minister of Finance and the Minister of the Interior. They were generally on issues that required financial expenditure or investment projects.
Jérôme Bonaparte patiently listened to their respective problems and left them to Barrow to deal with.
The meeting lasted from 11 o'clock to 1 o'clock in the afternoon. After the meeting, Jérôme Bonaparte invited the Prime Minister and ministers to have a simple lunch at the Elysee Palace.
At 2:30 pm, Barrow and the minister left after lunch.
Minister of Justice Eugène Rouet and Minister of Public Works Morny were retained by Jérôme Bonaparte.
The three of them entered the study one after another. Jérôme Bonaparte walked to his desk and sat down.
Eugène Rouet and Morny sat opposite Jérôme Bonaparte.
"Mr. Morny, this is the first time we have met! I wonder what you want to say!" Jérôme Bonaparte asked Morny in a slightly joking tone.
Morny sat upright, leaning tightly on the back of the chair.
"Thank you to the President for giving me this opportunity to serve as the Minister of Public Works. I will do my best to serve the President!" Molny lowered his voice, making it even deeper and more persuasive.
"Mr. Morny, I already know your life experience! So we don't have to be so unfamiliar with each other!" Jérôme Bonaparte decided to speak frankly to Morny, his aunt's illegitimate son: "I hope you Can you join us? Because we are in the same group!"
"You?" Morny looked at Jérôme Bonaparte in confusion, and then said bluntly: "Mr. President, please forgive me, you and your team are too weak? It will not help me to join you completely. Any benefit!"
"Could they (the Party of Order) be able to give you any benefits?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked. He shook his head: "Morny, my friend! Wake up, they will not give you anything at all." The good thing is that there are only so many places in France, and they can’t even give it to you, so how can they give it to you, an outsider!”
"But Mr. President, your term is only 4 years! It is difficult to complete a great project in 4 years!" Morny then responded.
"Morny, rules are dead, people are alive! People who can be bound by rules will only be mediocre!" Jerome Bonaparte stretched out a finger and shook it back and forth.
"Do you think..." Morny thought of a possibility, but he didn't dare to say it.
"No, no, no!" Jérôme Bonaparte obviously understood what Morny wanted to say. He shook his head and responded: "The best way is to reach a satisfactory result under the current system. If it fails, it can still Use other methods! Weapons can only be our last resort!"
"What do you want to do?" Morny responded to Jérôme Bonaparte.
Jérôme Bonaparte gently tapped the table with his index finger and said: "We just want to get back what belongs to us!"
"How are you going to get it back! As far as I know, Mr. President, you don't seem to be able to directly control the army!" Morny had already acquiesced to the possibility of a coup by Jérôme Bonaparte.
"I believe General Changarnier will definitely be on our side!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded confidently to Morny. He did not dare to reveal his desire to remove Changarnier in front of Morny. , some things are better left to Morny.
Looking at Jérôme Bonaparte's confident expression, Morny actually felt like "Maybe he can win" in his heart: "Then Mr. President... No, Your Highness! I am willing to fight with you!"
The addition of Morny added another person to Jerome Bonaparte's small team who could relieve Jerome Bonaparte's worries.
After solving the Morny problem, Jérôme Bonaparte turned his attention to Eugène Rouet: "Mr. Rouet, do you have any questions you want to ask me!"
Eugène Rouet was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "I already understand!"
"Tell me about it?" Jérôme Bonaparte looked like he was listening attentively. A subordinate who can worry less can indeed save a lot of time.
"Restoring the salt tax is a trap!" Eugène Rouet responded with a firm tone: "Once this proposal is handed over to the National Assembly, the conflicts in the National Assembly will quickly escalate! The Mountain Party and the Republicans in the Assembly will never When they see the plan pass, they will do everything possible to block it, but Prime Minister Barrow must push forward the proposal, because only in this way can they ease the fiscal deficit!"
"You are right!" Jerome Bonaparte clapped his hands, "The National Assembly must move. A united National Assembly is not in our interests!"
