"Grace? God! You ask me to forgive a guy who tried to assassinate me? A villain who wants to disturb France?"
Jerome Bonaparte responded to Baron Huboy in an exaggerated tone, but in his heart he did not have the slightest intention to kill James Rothschild and his son.
Even the so-called gunman was a play directed and acted by Jérôme Bonaparte
Just as Baron James Rothschild guessed after he was imprisoned, Jérôme Bonaparte was not interested in killing Baron James Rothschild and then annexing his properties and splitting up his bank. What he wanted was A solid banker.
As the saying goes, the economic foundation determines the superstructure. Killing a long-established bank in a capitalist country that still retains its feudal foundation will inevitably lead to secondary turbulence in the financial market and panic in the Paris banking industry.
Although Jerome Bonaparte had ordered Achill Fuld to strengthen the control of the financial market, the supervision in the 19th century was not as strong as in the 21st century. Even in the post-capitalist era of the 21st century, France still has a large number of Many wealthy businessmen chose to flee because they were unwilling to bear the high progressive taxes and miscellaneous direct taxes. Their flight caused a large amount of French capital to flow to other parts of Europe.
Not to mention that the modern control of financial markets in the 19th century was obviously not as strict as in the 20th century. Once the banking industry felt panic, they would inevitably choose to flee funds.
By then, I'm afraid it will turn into a massive outflow of capital from the Third Republic. After all, capital will only flow in what they think is profitable.
Without completely dedicating the Bank of France to government supervision, Jérôme Bonnard was eager to continue with their hypocrisy and coercion.
If you want to make the Bank of France obedient, Jérôme Bonaparte, the president, cannot do it.
Unless he can go further...
The topic has gone off topic. What Jerome Bonaparte needs is for James Rothschild to be obedient. As long as he does not violate Jerome Bonaparte's policies and actively cooperates with the government, the president can naturally let him go. go home.
According to the constitution of the French Republic, the president has the power to grant pardons.
No matter how big the crime you committed, the president can pardon you if he wants.
This power was something that Louis Philippe of the Orleans Dynasty could not even imagine.
"What! Assassinate you! God!" Baron Huboy, who had just learned the "truth" from Jérôme Bonaparte, couldn't help but exclaimed. He was sure that the president would never let him go without any benefit. James Rothschild.
Once the news of James Rothschild's imprisonment reached Vienna, the Vienna Stock Exchange also faced massive turmoil.
As a little ambassador, I have no ability to stop this tide.
After weighing the pros and cons, Baron Huboy decided to intercede for James Rothschild. He gritted his teeth and said, "Your Excellency, in order to maintain the stability of the world's financial markets, I think you should continue to be James Rothschild." Full of tolerance.”
"Hmph!" Jérôme Bonaparte snorted and threatened with a sneer: "Mr. Ambassador, your current behavior is tantamount to blatant interference in our country's internal affairs! I have the right to ask my Ministry of Foreign Affairs to express its opinions on your behavior. protest!"
Regarding the "threat" of Jérôme Bonaparte, Baron Huboy had no choice but to play the "Germany" card again: "Mr. President! If you are unwilling to forgive Baron James Rothschild, then Austria's finances are bound to suffer. Facing depletion. Financial depletion will lead to a decline in the combat effectiveness of the army, and then our fight against Prussia will also fail."
"You want to say that the finances of the Austrian Empire are tied to the James Rothschild family!" Jerome Bonaparte asked Count Huboy.
Count Hubboy responded with a wry smile: "Although we don't want to admit this, since the Habsburg prince (Meternich) came to power, the imperial debt has been sold by the Rothschild family on behalf of the Habsburgs."
Baron Huboy smiled wryly and "confided" the financial difficulties of the Austrian Empire to Jerome Bonaparte. He believed that even if he did not tell him, he would know the situation of the Austrian Empire.
In other words, there is no foreign ministry in Europe that does not know about Austria's bond issue.
Baron Huboy paused, then said with a wry smile: "All Austrian government bonds on the Paris Stock Exchange are sold by Baron James Rothschild on our behalf!"
"Mr. Baron, you are not going to ask me to help you stabilize Austria's national debt!" Jerome Bonaparte looked at Baron Huboy in "shock". He really did not expect that the Austrian national debt would not even affect their ambassador. Be willing to trust it.
Hubei smiled bitterly and said nothing. If the national debt of the Austrian Empire was really strong, he would not go out of his way to find Jerome Bonaparte. He could only say euphemistically: "The Austrian Empire is in a period of economic transformation. …”
"I understand..." Jérôme Bonaparte decisively interrupted Huboy's diplomatic tone, then turned his back to Baron Huboy and pretended to think for a moment: "I will consider becoming your ambassador." I suggest you go back and wait for my news!"
"Thank you very much!" Baron Huboy expressed his gratitude to Jérôme Bonaparte.
Under the escort of Pesigny, Baron Huboy left the Elysée Palace, while Jerome Bonaparte returned to his study.
Half an hour later, Pesini reported to Jérôme Bonaparte the news of the visit of Count Argu, president of the Bank of France.
"Coming so soon? Fortunately, I am planning to go find him myself!" Jerome Bonaparte muttered to himself.
You don't need to guess to know that Count Argu also interceded for James Rothschild.
"Let him in!" Jérôme Bonaparte ordered Pesini.
Count Argu was taken to the study.
"Please sit down!" Jérôme Bonaparte stretched out his hand to signal Count Argu to sit down.
Count Algu took off his hat and bowed before taking a seat.
"Count Argoux, I wonder if you have anything important to do when you come to me today?" Jerome Bonaparte asked knowingly.
"Your Majesty, I heard that you imprisoned James Rothschild in a detention center! I don't know if the news is true!" The old fox Count Argu also pretended to be unsure whether the news was accurate and asked Jerome Bonnet bar.
"That's right! Because James Rothschild committed the murder of the president, I imprisoned James Rothschild. Should I be punished under the French Constitution for assassinating the president?" Jérôme Bonaparte said. Act as a matter of course.
Count Argu obviously also understood that assassinating the president should be punished by death, but he always felt that there was something fishy about this matter. Based on his understanding of James Rothschild, he would not be stupid enough to think that he could assassinate the president and then imprison him. !
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask! Is there any evidence that clearly shows that Baron James Rothschild instructed his men to assassinate you!" Count Algu decided to rescue James Rothschild.
This was not only to maintain the unity of the Bank of France, but he also took a fancy to the branches of the Rothschild family throughout Europe.
The Bank of France, which was hit hard by the Revolution of 1848, lost a large amount of gold, and they needed sufficient gold as reserves.
There is no other bank other than the Bank of England that can meet the gold needs of the Bank of France, and the Rothschild branch of England has a small say in the Bank of England.
The Banque de France could purchase a batch of gold from the Rothschild Bank.
[During the Crimean War and the Franco-Austrian War, the Bank of France specifically purchased a portion of gold from the British Rothschild Bank in order to stabilize the bank discount rate and prevent malicious fluctuations in exchange bonds. The person who presided over this transaction was none other than Lionel Rothschild. At that time, the business intersection between the England Branch and the French Branch had gradually decreased. 】
"This... not yet..." Jérôme Bonaparte, who wanted to let James Rothschild go, hesitated for a moment and then responded: "However, it is certain that the killer is from the Orleans Gang, and their leader has accepted A sum of money from the Rothschild steward!”
"Is it possible that the butler acted without authorization!" Seeing that things had turned around, Count Algu decisively "betrayed" the baron butler. In his opinion, the role of the butler was to serve the director.
"This..." Jérôme Bonaparte said hesitantly: "It's not impossible!"
"Your Majesty, it must have been the butler who made the decision without permission that caused this situation to happen!" Count Algu said swornly, as if he had witnessed the collusion between the butler and the killer with his own eyes.
"That's it..." Jérôme Bonaparte tapped the table gently and said slowly: "When a servant commits a crime, the master must express his will!"
Count Argu understood what Jérôme Bonaparte meant. The president was "never forgetting" the property of the James Rothschild family.
"Mr. President, how much more money do you need!" Count Argu asked Jérôme Bonaparte directly.
Jerome Bonaparte raised two fingers and said: "Thirty million francs!"
Jérôme Bonaparte's offer shocked Count Argou. Bankers could indeed raise tens or even hundreds of millions of francs in a short period of time, but most of the money did not belong to them. People If you trust them to deposit their money in their bank, they must work hard for the appreciation of the money. If they are not careful, they will lose money.
Jérôme Bonaparte's thirty million francs was a quarter of the principal of James Rothschild's branch. This was simply a severe stab at the body of Rothschild Bank.
Of course, Count Argu was also happy to see his "good friend" bleeding.
Neither the Count of Argoux nor the directors of the Bank of France wanted to have an overly powerful financial family weigh on them, so they repeatedly acquiesced to Jérôme Bonaparte's actions.
Some members of the Legislative Assembly were even bribed with money.
