"Mr. President, I'm a reporter for the Daily Tours."

The newspaper reporter sitting on the far left opposite Jerome Bonaparte spread the cardboard notebook he carried on his lap, unscrewed the fountain pen, and introduced himself to Jerome Bonaparte first.

The reporter of the "Le Tour de Tours" spoke first, and the reporters from the remaining newspaper offices scrambled to introduce the name of their newspaper office to Jerome Bonaparte, and the scene fell into a temporary chaos.

Jerome Bonaparte had to make the chaotic scene orderly by himself. He cleared his throat and said loudly: "Friends from the journalists, I understand your mood now! I assure you that everyone can ask me questions. Some questions! I'll answer as appropriate to your questions."

After that, Jerome Bonaparte pointed to the reporter of the Daily Tour and said, "Mr. reporter, do you have any questions you want to ask?"

The "Tours Daily" reporter showed a flattered expression, and he did not expect that he would be the first person to interview.

"Your Excellency, would you allow me to sort out my thoughts a little bit?" a reporter from the Journal of Tours implored Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Of course!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded leniently to the reporter of the Journal of Tours, and then he glanced at the remaining reporters and reminded: "But hurry up, otherwise other reporters Friends are not happy!"

"Yes!" After thinking for a moment, the reporter of Tours Daily said carefully, "Mr. President, what do you think of the rumors after July 1?"

The reporter's first day of interviews with the "Le Tour de Tours" made the remaining reporters show a touch of disappointment.

After all, the same questions the journalists at Tours wanted to ask were also the ones they wanted to ask.

"You are referring to the rumors that I and the members of the parliament staged a coup attempt to amend the constitution, right!" Jerome Bonaparte responded to the reporter of the "Tours Daily" with a frank expression.

"That's right!" The reporter from Tours Daily nodded and said.

"Nonsense!" Jerome Bonaparte said firmly: "I don't know where this wind of public opinion came from. The public opinion is obviously provoking our relationship with the French people! I can tell you clearly You, I am loyal to the Constitution, against any unreasonable coup (Jérôme Bonaparte left behind), the Constitution created by the 30 million people of France gives me the powers of President.

If the constitution is overturned, it means that my president will also lose power because of the overturning of the constitution. No one loves the constitution more than me! Even if the constitution itself has more or less flaws, we still have to believe in the constitution! Our constitution knows that it is not yet one year old, how can we demand that a constitution less than one year old solve all our problems? Believe in the wisdom of future generations, believe in the future! "

Jérôme Bonaparte's unswerving response made several newspaper reporters present have a good impression. For some journalists with pan-left thinking, maintaining the existing order of the republic is undoubtedly more important than destroying the existing order.

The reporter of "Le Tour de Tours" wrote down all the words of Jérôme Bonaparte in his notebook.

Later, he also wanted to ask Jérôme Bonaparte some questions: "Mr. President, what do you think about..."

"This reporter friend, I just said that every reporter can ask me a question!" Jérôme Bonaparte raised his hand to stop the "Le Journal de Tours" from continuing to ask questions, and pointed out among the remaining reporters. a reporter.

"Mr. President, I'm a reporter from the Hawass News Agency!" The reporter who was selected said to Jérôme Bonaparte again.

"Hawass News Agency?" Jerome Bonaparte glanced in surprise. He did not expect that Charles Hawass would be able to open a branch in Tours, and what was even more surprising was that Hawass, who had lost his overseas income The news agency was even able to open branches firmly.

Jerome Bonaparte couldn't help but glance at Pesini who was standing at the door. Pesini, who was in the blind spot of the reporter's field of vision, nodded and said there was no problem.

"Mr. President, I would like to ask what you think about the city of Tours?" A reporter from the Hawass News Agency asked a well-established question.

"Tour is a city with a long history, as early as the Frankish period..." Jerome Bonaparte recounted De Rênal's description of Tours to the reporters of the Hawass newspaper. A favorite of the city of Tours.

All the reporters present had happy smiles on their faces, and they were also proud of the long history of Tours living in Tours.

"Will Tours become the western transfer station of the French railway?" The Hawass newspaper reporter also forgot the agreement of one person, one question.

Jérôme Bonaparte had to reiterate the agreement between the reporters of the newspaper and pointed out the reporter who would ask the next question.

The next reporter decisively repeated the question of the Hawass correspondent.

"This issue needs to be judged by professionals. I'm just a president who doesn't understand anything." Jerome Bonaparte said humbly: "However, I still hope that Tours can become the center of the Western Railway. !"

The next topic gradually develops towards the trend of a little gossip and current affairs.

Jérôme Bonaparte offered his insights on some issues, while others were perfunctory (the new century bureaucratic prevarication template: we are considering solutions).

The entire interview lasted for nearly an hour and a half. The reporters of the newspaper office got the answers they wanted, and they said goodbye to Jérôme Bonaparte with satisfaction.

Jerome Bonaparte ordered Persini to send out all the journalists of these newspapers as gifts. The journalists who had just left the hotel received a "little gift" from Persini, a French bill of 200 francs per person.

With the bills can be exchanged at the Bank of France.

Newspaper reporters were all the more grateful for the generous president, and they assured Pesini that they would document the truest president.

Pessini, who watched the newspaper reporter leave, returned to the room where Jerome Bonaparte was.

"All sent out?" Jerome Bonaparte, who was carrying Pesini, asked in a flat tone.

"Yeah!" Pessini nodded.

"What's the matter with the Havas News Agency?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Pessini again.

"Your Majesty, Charles Havas has agreed to our request for capital injection, so they are now in our hands!" Persini explained to Jerome Bonaparte.

"What about the newspapers behind the newspaper reporters?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Pessini again.

"They all have Havas news agency behind them, so we don't have to worry about their nonsense!" Pessini replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

"That's good! We have to seize the time to gain control of Paris and even the French newspaper industry, whether it is to exchange equity or inject capital, in short, I only need to hear one voice in Paris, and that is our voice!" Naparte spoke to Pessini in an unmistakable tone.

Pessini was able to control the Havas News Agency and some small and medium-sized newspapers in Paris in a very short period of time. In addition to the help of Achille Fuld, it also depended on Odilon Barrow's martial law law for newspapers, martial law law one. Many small and medium-sized newspapers have either declared bankruptcy directly, or accepted capital injections from some mysterious people, which has led to the seemingly chaotic and flourishing of Paris newspapers, but in fact, they have gradually been controlled by the Bonapartists.

Due to the mutual shareholding of the newspapers, the Bonapartists were hidden behind the scenes, and anyone who wanted to find the truth would be dazzled by the complicated alternating shareholdings.

A Concain in the newspaper industry is on the rise.

...

Early the next morning, there were many children selling newspapers on the streets of Tours.

"Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers! The latest "Tours Daily", "Tours Economic News"... all only need 7 centimes!" Newsboys walked slowly on the street to sell newspapers to the gentlemen who came and went.

Gentlemen who form the habit of subscription on weekdays buy newspapers from newsboys.

The gentlemen who learned from the newspapers that the president would not launch a coup d'etat could not help but feel good about the president. A public opinion related to the coup d'état was silenced by the newspaper in a quiet way.

For a time, the focus of the people of Tours shifted from whether there would be a coup d’état in Paris to whether Tours would be the central node of the western city.

On the other hand, Jerome Bonaparte came to the conference hall of the Town Hall of Tours under the leadership of De Renal, where the prestigious nobles of Tours and Bourgeois gathered in the conference hall under the call of De Renal Waiting for Jérôme Bonaparte to speak?

In the silence, Jérôme Bonaparte took the stage, and now he is talking.

"Since the Kingdom of Franks, Tours has been a splendid treasure in the crown of France... During the Great Revolution, Tours became the logistical support base for the victory of the Vendée..."

As soon as Jerome Bonaparte opened the scene, he praised Tour's world-renowned achievements with incomparably exaggerated diplomatic rhetoric. The nobles and bourgeois present showed tired expressions. They were obviously not interested in the so-called history of Tours.

"It is precisely because Tours have such high historical achievements that our government cannot let its brilliance be buried in the whole of France!" Jerome Bonaparte threw a bombshell at the nobles and Bourgeois: "The government plans to establish a The western railway network with Tours as a transit hub!"

All the bourgeois present instantly sensed the huge business opportunity, and they applauded Jerome Bonaparte for his slightly lame speech~www.novelhall.com~ The Ministry of Public Works will decide to issue the second tranche of engineering bonds, which will be Committed to the development of railways in the central and western regions of France, we also welcome some powerful railway companies to bid enthusiastically! "Jérôme Bonaparte dropped the second bombshell.

This time even the nobles couldn't sit still, and they all cheered and applauded for Jerome Bonaparte.

In their view, bonds issued by the French government are always a sure-fire deal.

Jerome Bonaparte stepped down to the applause of Bourgeois and the nobles.

The next day, the local newspaper of Tours again published the speech of Jérôme Bonaparte in the meeting room of the town hall.

At this time, even the little bourgeois of Tours could not sit still. The little bourgeois who had not purchased the first tranche of the public works department had already been gearing up to enter the market during the second tranche of public bonds.

Jérôme Bonaparte's reputation was on the rise in Tours, and the public opinion of the coup was completely resolved by Jérôme Bonaparte's set of tricks.
