Chapter 553： Prepare for arch fire

"Mr. Argoux, if it were you, what would you choose?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Count Argoux with a calm expression.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can't answer your answer!" After a while, the Count of Argoux replied to Jerome Bonaparte: "I can't use the thinking of a mediocre person to speculate on the thinking of a great man!"

"A great man?" Jerome Bonaparte showed a self-deprecating smile at the corner of his mouth. His so-called "great man" just took advantage of the "prophet" and observed the world with a thinking that surpassed this era for nearly two hundred years. .

If you put aside the vision of more than a hundred years, Jerome Bonaparte believes that his talent and level are far inferior to his late cousin, and even inferior to the original owner of this body.

However, the most precious thing he possesses is the knowledge and vision that surpasses this world for more than 100 years.

In the past one hundred years, predecessors have experimented with all possible failures under the conditions of past productivity, and all solutions have been written down one by one (Keynesianism).

Although these solutions cannot solve the problem forever, they can alleviate the problem.

Jérôme Bonaparte, who lived in this era, was like a fly at the mouth of a well, although frogs (eg Bismarck, Cavour, Metternich, Thiers) could He kills it, but he can see the sky that frogs can't see in this era.

It was by virtue of his ability to see the "sky" clearly that Jerome Bonaparte was able to package himself as a determined "great man".

"I'm not a so-called great man at all, I'm just a gambler!" Jerome Bonaparte said flatly, "I put everything I have on this war!"

"This is a great man!" Count Argoux responded to Jerome Bonaparte: "It wasn't the same with His Majesty the Emperor back then!"

"Okay! Stop complimenting me!" Jerome Bonaparte smiled and shook his head.

"This is not a compliment! I'm just telling the truth!" Count Argoux responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Then I'll be cheeky and accept your compliment"

…

Jerome Bonaparte and Count of Argoux chatted for a long time, until the appearance of the general manager made the conversation between Jerome Bonaparte and Count of Argoux come to an abrupt end.

"Your Majesty, my lord! Dinner is ready!" The steward said respectfully to Jerome Bonaparte and the Count of Argoux.

"So soon!" exclaimed Jerome Bonaparte in surprise.

"Your Majesty, look out the window!" Count Argoux pointed out the window and said to Jerome Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte glanced out the window subconsciously, it was already pitch black outside the window.

"What time is it!" Jerome Bonaparte asked the steward.

"Your Majesty, it's already seven o'clock in the evening!" The chief replied hurriedly.

"Time flies so fast!" Jerome Bonaparte couldn't help but sigh.

Afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte and the Count of Argoux went to the restaurant under the leadership of the general manager.

After Meimei feasted, Count Argoux ordered his steward to send Jerome Bonaparte back to the Tuileries Palace.

"No need!" Jerome Bonaparte waved his hand and rejected Count Argoux.

"Your Majesty, Paris is not safe at night! It is dangerous to go back alone, so let my butler send you back!" Count Argoux pleaded with Jerome Bonaparte.

"Who said I'm going back alone!" Jerome Bonaparte said while Count Argoux took out his pocket watch and glanced at the time.

It was already 8:40, and there were still 20 minutes before the time he and Mokar agreed to.

"In another 20 minutes, someone will come and pick me up!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Count Argoux.

"That's good!" Count Argu breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to see any accidents on the way back to the emperor.

The time soon came to nine o'clock, and the carriage from the Tuileries Palace appeared on time at the gate of the mansion of the Count of Argoux.

Mocal, the head of the royal family who got off the carriage, went straight into the mansion of the Count of Argoux to take Jerome Bonaparte home.

…

Early the next morning.

The news of the resignation of the Count of Argoux, the president of the Bank of France, appeared in major newspapers in Paris. The citizens of Paris who were indifferent to the Bank of France were surprised to find that the resigned Count of Argoux had been in charge of the Bank of France for nearly 20 years, so they speculated. Why did the Count of Argoux leave the Banque de France?

Is it really like the newspaper said that the Count of Argoux resigned because of his age?

At the same time, affected by the change of President of the Banque de France, the Paris Stock Exchange fell by 2% at the opening, and fell to 3.56% in the mid-term.

Fortunately, led by an invisible hand, the Paris Stock Exchange ended the day down just 1.2%.

When the Chancellor of the Exchequer Magnet reported the closing data to Jerome Bonaparte, Jerome Bonaparte nodded and said, "It seems that the stock exchange can still accept the change of the Bank of France!"

"Yes!" Minister Manet responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

To be honest, the fact that it fell 2% at the opening of the market today really caused Manie to break a cold sweat.

"Okay! You've worked hard!" Jerome Bonaparte responded to Magnet.

"This is what I should do!" Manet said respectfully to Jerome Bonaparte, then left Jerome Bonaparte's study.

With Manet's departure, Jerome Bonaparte was left alone in the study to correct the documents.

After a while, Mokar's voice appeared outside the door: "Your Majesty, General Niel asks to see you!"

"Niel? What is he here for?" Jerome Bonaparte was stunned for a few seconds, then responded to Mocart outside the door, "Let him in!"

"Yes!" Mokar quickly responded.

The door opened, and Nield's figure appeared at the door.

And he was holding a telegram in his hand: "Your Majesty!"

"Yes! Sit!" Jerome Bonaparte stretched out his hand and invited Niel to sit down.

Niel, who was sitting opposite Jerome Bonaparte, hurriedly placed the telegram in front of Jerome Bonaparte and said, "Your Majesty, this was from the end of the Battle of Arma until the occupation of Sevastopol. The whole process!"

Jerome Bonaparte took the telegram from Niel's hand and carefully read the contents of the telegram.

Judging from the content of the telegram, the coalition forces occupied Sevastopol when the Sevastopol defense system was not fully built, which can be said to have caught the Sevastopol defenders by surprise.

However, even if the coalition forces used a "tricky" method to occupy Sevastopol, it is enough to prove that the coalition forces - or the French army's combat effectiveness has far surpassed the Russian imperial army.

And all of this is inseparable from General Niel opposite Jerome Bonaparte and General Pelissier in the Crimea peninsula.

If Niel hadn't re-established the military station and changed the conscription period, the combat effectiveness of the French army would not have been significantly improved.

It is important for the army to have advanced weapons, but the logistics system and the quality of soldiers are more important than advanced weapons.

At the end of the day, it is people who use weapons.

The same weapon can have different effects in different hands.

Just like the roasted buns and geotechnologies of later generations, roasted buns have more advanced artisans than geotechnical engineers (ps: Since the end of the Hundred Regiments War, the Geotechnical Army has never conducted large-scale group operations, and many troops are based on regiments. The unit carried out guerrilla warfare in the rear. Therefore, in the early days of the war of liberation, due to the lack of combat experience of the group army, each part was pressed and fought by the five main forces of the baked buns. The Shandong People's Liberation Army used to have only a few scattered cities), but in the end, it was the geotechnical work. won.

The logistics system and the quality of the soldiers allowed the geotechnical workers to defeat the baked steamed buns.

After being rectified by Nierre, the French army became a little more nationalistic fanatical (although their nationalism was a castrated version after Jerome Bonaparte's revision).

The combat power is also higher than before.

Of course, the contribution of General Pelissier is also essential.

If it wasn't for General Pelissier's decisive order to attack the Sevastopol fortress, then Sevastopol would probably have developed in a historical direction.

The coalition forces need to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to break through it, and endure the impact of many factors such as severe cold weather and logistical difficulties.

Now coalition troops no longer have to endure the historically cold weather and enjoy the convenience brought by Sevastopol in comfort.

And the Russian Empire is probably going to play the role of a coalition in history. Jerome Bonaparte has reason to believe that Nicholas I will ask Menshkov to attack Sevastopol at all costs.

It's just that the Russian Imperial Army after the role replacement may not have the same logistics as the coalition troops. The difficulties they face are more difficult than the coalition troops. I don't know how many times.

I am afraid that the casualties faced by the Russian Empire this time are more serious than those in history!

Thinking of this, Jerome Bonaparte couldn't help but gloat.

no! I have to fight for Nicholas I and make Nicholas I lose face. Only then will he die in the Sevastopol fortress.

A sinister smile appeared on Jerome Bonaparte's face, and a sinister plan was constantly taking shape in Jerome Bonaparte's heart.

When the general Niel sitting opposite Jerome Bonaparte saw Jerome Bonaparte's expression, he also muttered in his heart: "Your Majesty, what are you thinking about?"
