Chapter 774： Algeria Raiders

"October! That's good!"

Jerome Bonaparte smiled and nodded to Wallevsky.

If Maximilian's coronation date is set for September, then Jerome Bonaparte may not be able to attend his coronation.

Because he was in September, and there was a crucial European Monetary Union meeting.

The success or failure of this meeting will indirectly affect Jerome Bonaparte's next series of actions, so it is impossible for Jerome Bonaparte to let it go.

"Your Majesty, if I have nothing to do, I will leave first!" Wallevsky said goodbye to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Well! Be careful all the way!" Jerome Bonaparte waved his hand, and Wallevsky left the room.

Immediately afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte called Mocard over and ordered him to call Montauban, Minister of War, in front of him. He wanted to talk to Montauban about something.

"Yes!" Mocar nodded and replied to Jerome Bonaparte, then left the study and went to the War Department to invite the Minister of Montauban.

About half an hour later, Mocar brought Montauban to Jérôme Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte got up and stretched out his hand to invite Montauban: "Montauban, let's sit on the sofa and talk!"

"Yes!" Montauban obeyed Jerome Bonaparte and sat down on the sofa with him.

Jerome Bonaparte had just started chatting with Montauban, asking him about his latest situation.

Montauban told Jerome Bonaparte that he, the Minister of War, was very leisurely and had nothing to do except routinely inquire about the progress of various departments every day.

"You're blaming me!" Jerome Bonaparte asked Montauban in a frivolous tone, he didn't want to bring the conflict between the two sides to the point of breaking.

After all, Montauban himself could bear a lot of blame for him, and he is very grateful for Montauban's "assistance" in his heart.

"Your Majesty, no!" Montauban also realized that he had brought his subjective emotions into the conversation with His Majesty the Emperor. He hurriedly shook his head and replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Is it not, or dare not!" Jerome Bonaparte then joked to Montauban, "Forget it! Let's not talk about this, I know you are a little dissatisfied with me!"

"No!" Montauban explained immediately.

"You don't need to explain!" Jerome Bonaparte raised his hand to stop him, and then continued: "If I were in your position, I would also be dissatisfied!

Why can the last war minister be able to grasp the general order and the military administration, but I can only grasp the military administration!

Why does His Majesty the Emperor ask me to do something for him that he doesn't want to do..."

Jerome Bonaparte's self-joking made Montauban's heart slightly relaxed.

The fact that His Majesty the Emperor can make fun of him is enough to prove that His Majesty the Emperor himself doesn't care about those things.

In other words, his actions just now did not arouse the emperor's disgust.

"Your Majesty, this is just your guess, I don't think so!" Minister Montauban replied solemnly to Jerome Bonaparte.

"No matter what you think in your heart, but I can tell you clearly, I am indeed a little too harsh on you!" Jerome Bonaparte said solemnly to Minister Montauban with a restrained smile.

"Your Majesty, I am able to assume the important position of Minister of War, all thanks to your grace!" Minister Montauban replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

Indeed, although the power of Montauban, the Minister of War, was severely weakened by Jerome Bonaparte, it was still not comparable to those generals.

The Minister of War is equivalent to a platform through which Montauban can be transferred to a place far away from France as the emperor of the land.

And Jerome Bonaparte, who transferred him to this platform, is also grateful.

"You don't need to say more if you are touting!" Jerome Bonaparte waved his hand and said to the Minister of Montauban, and then asked Montauban: "Montauban, you are not going to Algiers soon. You are the Governor! Who do you think should be the Minister of War?"

"Your Majesty, this kind of thing is not meant to be talked about!" Montauban replied to Jerome Bonaparte: "All this depends on your Sacred Heart dictatorship!"

"But, I just want to ask you who is more optimistic about taking over the job!" Jerome Bonaparte asked the Minister of Montauban, and then specially emphasized: "Don't be sloppy, answer me seriously! "

After pondering for a moment, Montauban said to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, the next Minister of War should choose between General Wayan and Marshal Canrobert!"

"Why did you choose them both!" Jerome Bonaparte asked Montauban.

"General Vaillant is not only your current adjutant, but he also served as the commander of the National Guard of the Seine Province in the past. Therefore, after taking up the post of Minister of War, Vaillant will definitely handle the nationals together with the Chief of General Staff Nierre. The problem of the Self-Defense Forces!" Montauban explained to Jerome Bonaparte: "And Marshal Canrobert was the hero of the Crimean War, and his record was for all to see!

Therefore, it is reasonable for him to assume the post of Minister of War.

In addition, Marshal Conrobel himself is not a soldier who particularly likes to fight for power, so he can also cooperate with Niel well! "

After listening to Montauban's words, Jerome Bonaparte nodded in satisfaction.

The candidates in his mind are probably the same as those of Montauban. The war minister cannot choose a soldier who is too tough, because a tough war minister and a tough chief of staff are bound to conflict.

At that time, Jerome Bonaparte would have to spend a lot of time just to mediate the conflicts between the two sides.

It is also impossible to choose someone who is not firm enough to be the Minister of War, because a guy who is not firm can easily be led by Niel by the nose.

Jerome Bonaparte thought about it, and there were only four candidates, Wayan, Conrobel, Trox, and Reigno. Because Reigno had already served as Minister of War, and the issue of his own age , Jerome Bonaparte passed him directly.

And Trosch's age is a bit low. If he serves as Minister of War too early, it will not be good for Trosch's future. (Though Trosch himself may not really think so.)

Therefore, only General Wayan and Conrobel offered him a choice.

"Just Wayan!" Jerome Bonaparte responded to Montauban.

"It's really good that General Wayan can replace me as Minister of War!" Montauban replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

The selection of Vaillant as Minister of War means that Montauban will go to Algiers to take up the post of governor just around the corner. He can finally stay away from the right and wrong place of Paris and go to Algiers to serve as the emperor of the soil.

Next, Jérôme Bonaparte talked to Montauban about Algiers. He told the Minister of Montauban that when he went to Algiers to serve as governor, he must closely unite the people of the coastal cities of Algiers. Producers and leaders of some tribes, with whom they suppressed the inhabitants of the interior of Algeria.

"The farther away from the coastal area, the more strictly the household registration jurisdiction system must be implemented! Strive to strictly control the information of each household!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Montauban, "At the same time, you must also be in your own hands. The jurisdiction of the country implements a strict whistle-blowing system!

Strive to keep the population of the inland firmly locked in the area we have demarcated, so that those **** guerrillas have no ability to get help, so as to completely remove the soil of the guerrillas. "

"I understand, Your Majesty!" Montauban replied violently to Jerome Bonaparte.

"For those who are willing to join France and abide by the French civil law, you can make an excuse!" Jerome Bonaparte replied to Montauban.

"Understood!" Montauban nodded again and said to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Also, I want you to give "warmth" to our neighbor Morocco after serving as governor!" Jerome Bonaparte hinted that Montauban could take action against Morocco.

After all, Morocco was once the "base camp" of the anti-French guerrillas in the Algiers region.

Many guerrillas immediately chose to seek refuge in Morocco after being surrounded and suppressed by French troops.

However, in 1847, Marshal Biro completely swept away the large rebel groups in Algiers, and by the way made threats on the Moroccan border.

Morocco did not dare to provide asylum to Algiers. Abdul Kadiwen was caught by the French army after he lost Morocco's asylum!

Subsequently, Jerome Bonaparte offered Montauban a suggestion that he could lead the army to conduct exercises near the border area between Algiers and Morocco to deter Morocco.

At that time, you only need to excuse the disappearance of the soldiers, and you will be able to lead the army to take Morocco completely.

Of course, now Jerome Bonaparte doesn't want to take Morocco so quickly.

The British and Western capital in Morocco is still being injected into it, and Jerome Bonaparte will not consider sending troops to invade Morocco until the capital injection of British and Western capital stops.

Montauban stated that he would follow Jerome Bonaparte's orders.

Next, Jerome Bonaparte inquired about the rifles in the warehouses of the War Department of Montauban.

Montauban told Jerome Bonaparte that although the MTL1842 rifles in the hands of the Ministry of War had been sold as much as possible, nearly one third of the rifles were still not sold.

"I have told the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to let them sell all the rifles that are in the backlog at a low price as soon as possible!

Then you can cooperate with them!
