"Your Majesty, our..."
Wardley opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
"You do whatever I ask you to do! Where's all this nonsense!"
Jérôme Bonaparte "rudely" interrupted Wardray and gave him an order.
"Yes!" Wardray obeyed Jérôme Bonaparte's order.
Canrobert, who thought that Jérôme Bonaparte would pocket the money for emergencies, suddenly found that he did not seem to know enough about the president.
If it were him, he would definitely accept the money so that it could be put to great use in times of crisis.
The road to coup d'état is not an easy one, and everything will be lost if you are not careful.
If the coup fails, traveling to the UK with a sum of money may be one option.
According to Canrobert's knowledge from following the president, in less than a year, the president has spent nearly 2 million francs on various projects.
However, the president's annual expenses are 600,000 francs, and most of the remaining 1.4 million francs are borrowed by the president from bankers without collateral.
[ps: Canrobert didn’t know that before Jérôme Bonaparte became president, he owed Rothschild Bank nearly 1 million in loans, a total of 3 million loans, of which nearly 80 million were spent on preliminary publicity. After becoming president, he spent about 700,000 francs on subsidies for a few poor soldiers, and 1 million francs on setting up public medical institutions. The remaining 200,000 francs were daily expenses, and many daily expenses were counted on the cabinet. 】
If the president can remain in office, the 1.4 million loan will not need to be repaid.
No banker dared to force a Dictator to pay more.
Unless he wants to taste bullets.
Once the President fails, those bankers will turn into reminders and demand that the President repay his debts.
Anyone who wants to leave some room for retreat will choose to prepare enough funds for his resignation during his term as president. However, the President really does not leave himself any room for escape.
Conrobel didn't know whether the president was confident in himself or whether he was trying to break the pot.
Judging from the current situation, the president is probably the former.
Only those who are confident in themselves will spend their money to win people's hearts without hesitation.
Otherwise, he would just choose to spend all the money on himself.
Since the President is confident that he will overthrow Paris, then I have nothing to shrink from... Canrobert finally gave up the last hesitation in his heart. He believed that under the leadership of Jérôme Bonaparte, they would definitely succeed. Can win!
After this kind of self-confidence acted on Canrobel, Canrobel's state changed.
Jérôme Bonaparte did not know Canrobert's psychological process, but he saw Canrobert's changes and became more confident.
"Your Majesty, please transfer me to the Paris garrison!" Canrobert said to Jérôme Bonaparte.
"Huh?" Jerome Bonaparte looked at Canrobert in front of him in surprise. He was a little curious as to why Canrobert made this request.
Isn’t it a good job to have a management position in the Military Secretariat?
Although the direct command of the Paris garrison is in the hands of Changarnier, how does Changarnier know now that Jérôme Bonaparte, who declared Changarnier as the "loyal defender of the Elysée Palace" after the June incident, is doing this? Deliberately trying to deal with him, Changarnier, who was accustomed to relying on the center of power, unconsciously moved closer to Jérôme Bonaparte. Jérôme Bonaparte also wore a cloak of kindness and "spent time" with Changarnier. Honeymoon".
At this time, Canrobert was placed in the 1st Paris Division, and Changarnier had no resistance.
"Adjutant Canrobert! Why do you want to serve in the Paris garrison?" Jérôme Bonaparte wanted to explore the reason.
Is it personal reasons or is it difficult to manage the Military Secretariat?
"Mr. President, you must control the military power of the entire Paris!" Canrobert said briefly.
Jerome Bonaparte instantly understood Canrobert's purpose. He wanted to help him take charge of the most important field force near Paris.
Facing the loyal Canrobert, Jérôme Bonaparte was a little moved. He immediately asked Canrobert: "Adjutant Canrobert, who do you think has the ability to take over your position!"
Unexpectedly, Jérôme Bonaparte actually handed over the appointment and dismissal of his adjutants to Canrobert. Canrobert felt a warmth in his heart. After hesitating for a moment, he still could not find the right person. The ranks of those in the Military Secretariat were generally the same. A lieutenant colonel is not suitable for serving as a presidential adjutant at all. Conrobert doesn’t know many of those colonels and brigadier generals, and most of them are unwilling to get involved in politics.
Just when Canrobert was at a loss what to do, he remembered what Trochu had said to him in the Military Secretariat: "The President seems to have a high opinion of General Saint-Arnault." This sentence reminded him that General Saint-Arnaud was the same as him. A member of the Afrika Korps.
If he is allowed to serve as the presidential adjutant, General Saint-Arnaud will definitely be grateful for his recommendation, and he himself will not lose his influence on the Military Secretariat.
"Your Majesty, I propose that General Saint-Arnaud serve as your adjutant and at the same time serve as the "Chief of General Staff" of the Military Secretariat!" Canrobert said to Jérôme Bonaparte.
"Huh? General Saint-Arnault?" Jérôme Bonaparte looked at Canrobert in surprise. He didn't understand why Canrobert would recommend Saint-Arnaud. The two people obviously had no contact with each other: "Your reason What is it?"
"General Saint-Arnaud...well..." what the crazy thinker Trochu said to him in Canrobert's mind, and relayed it to Jerome Bonaparte: "He has the right to you and to honor." Passion, loyalty to the country..."
It’s completely scripted!
After Canrobert mentioned all the advantages of General Saint-Arnault, Jérôme Bonaparte took a deep breath and said: "I understand!"
Of course, Jérôme Bonaparte, who originally wanted Saint Arnault as his assistant in the coup, would not mind a smooth sailing.
History has proven that Saint Arnaud is a qualified conspirator. Perhaps his purpose is just to gain a high position for himself, but he does not care about his deeds, as long as he can help himself.
Jérôme Bonaparte called Wardray over again.
"Vaudrey, now you immediately send someone to Algiers to find General Saint-Arnaud, and tell him that he will invite the president to serve as aide-de-camp to the Elysee Palace!" Jérôme Bonaparte calculated the approximate distance from Paris to Algiers. It takes 15 days, and it takes 30 days to come and go.
In other words, even after the arrival of Saint Arnaud, Jérôme Bonaparte had already completed the reorganization of the entire cabinet.
At that time, it will be enough for General Renault to make a new appointment letter.
"Yes!" Wardley replied immediately.
"That's right! By the way, please call Captain Claude Edirne Migne and Henri Gustave Devignet here too!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Wardray again.
Wardley's expression was a little surprised. He didn't understand why the president knew the two captains, but he still responded dutifully: "Yes!"
Canrobert on the side also showed a surprised look. He didn't understand Jerome Bonaparte's intention.
After Wardray left, Jérôme Bonaparte told Canrobert in a brisk tone: "I heard that these two captains have researched a new type of bullet that can effectively increase the range of the rifle, so I thought Meet them. Maybe, I can witness the invention of a new weapon!"
What Jérôme Bonaparte was talking about was the Minie bullet and its supporting product, the Minie gun, which brought the muzzleloader to its peak.
The irony is that France invented the minie bomb and the minie gun, but France was the last country to equip them. Even Austria next door changed its equipment faster than France.
It is no joke that the enemy is in the War Department.
Canrobert nodded. He didn't want to ask the president why he knew about Algiers' invention.
Sometimes, it's good to be a little confused.
"As soon as Odilon Barrot steps down, you can go to serve in the First Division of Paris!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Canrobert.
"yes!"
…
Night falls quietly.
A voice quietly walked around the garden outside the Elysee Palace and entered the room from the back door of the Elysee Palace. He was General Renault.
Under the leadership of Wardray, General Renault came to a certain reception room in the Elysee Palace, where Jerome Bonaparte was sitting.
The arrival of General Rennault made Jerome Bonaparte stand up. Seeing this, General Rennault hurriedly ran to Jerome Bonaparte and said: "Your Majesty!"
"General, you have worked hard! Sit down!" Jérôme Bonaparte pointed to the seat opposite and motioned for General Renault to sit down, and then asked about some situations in Rome.
Sitting in a chair, General Regno explained the situation in Rome to Jerome Bonaparte. Both of them tacitly did not ask about money.
"General Rennault!" Jerome Bonaparte pushed Rennault a cup of coffee and said: "I think you should understand something in the letter, and now I am repeating it! I want you to take over Liuelli I don’t know what you think about the minister’s position as minister of war!”
"I will swear allegiance to you to the death!" Regno immediately stood up and saluted Jérôme Bonaparte.
"I understand your loyalty!" Jérôme Bonaparte and Renault nodded: "However, I want to ask you how to deal with those people in the Ministry of War! Some people in the Ministry of War have been obstructing me. To implement policies... they work against the will, and the entire War Department is like an independent kingdom that cannot be penetrated by a needle or poured out by water!"
"I will remove these obstacles for you!" General Renault said forcefully, his eyes becoming full of danger.
very good! I need people like you!
"General, some people who are not suitable for the Ministry of War can be removed appropriately! We want to leave the positions to some young and energetic guys!" Jérôme Bonaparte said with naked hints.
"Your Majesty, I will fulfill my duties to protect you and the Republic! Anyone who dares to obstruct us will be kicked away!"
