"But what? There are difficulties to say, there is nothing that cannot be said!"

Jerome Bonaparte encouraged Achilfold to speak out about his concerns, so that they could reach a consensus more quickly.

After hesitating for a moment, Asilford asked the Foreign Minister De Ruiz, "Mr Ruiz, how long will it take us to reach a common consensus with the Kingdom of Great Britain!"

"It will take at least half a month!" Ruiz immediately responded to Achilfold, and then explained to Jerome Bonaparte and Achilfold: "I once talked to Foreign Secretary Palmerston. After discussing it together, Palmerston told me that his colleagues had never been prepared for war with the Russian Empire, and rashly signing an alliance with France would not only arouse the opposition of the cabinet ministers, but may also stimulate the Russian Empire."

Based on his knowledge of Palmerston, the war madman, Jerome Bonaparte believed that he must be planning a war against the Russian Empire, but Prime Minister Russell and cabinet ministers who advocated "peace" did not want to be unprepared. Conflict with the Russian Empire.

As a world empire in the 19th century, Britain had garrisoned troops all over the world, which led to their local garrison having less than 50,000 troops. Such troops would obviously be unable to fight a war with the Russian Empire. The intensifying situation with Afghanistan made Britain have to send troops to India to prevent the rebellion of the native countries, and at the same time sent soldiers to Afghanistan to suppress the riots in Afghanistan.

However, the operation in Afghanistan failed. Thousands of British troops who had gone deep into the interior were slaughtered by Afghan tribal troops and only a few were left. The Indian region continued to send additional soldiers to prevent riots.

The only way to convince the British ministers to let them into the water is to wait for the Russian Empire to demand too much.

However, now Jerome Bonaparte is obviously unwilling to wait for a few more years. He wants to use the power of the Bank of England to let Rothschild know what the power of the president is.

"You talk to Palmerston first, and try to reach a limited cooperation with Britain!" Jerome Bonaparte ordered Deruiz.

"Yes!" Deluis nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte turned his attention to Dico, the Minister of the Navy, who had been entrusted by Odillom Barrow and was entrusted with important tasks by Jerome Bonaparte, waiting anxiously for Jerome. Bonaparte's inquiry.

"Minister Dicko!" Jerome Bonaparte called Dicko's name in a friendly tone.

"Mr. President!" Minister Dicko responded immediately.

"How is our fleet in the Mediterranean now?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Dicko with a smile. "Do they have any difficulties to solve?"

"Report to the President! Our Mediterranean Fleet is patrolling near the Dardanelles and has not encountered any difficulties!" Dicko replied sternly.

Dicko understood that the president's sudden interest in the Mediterranean fleet was definitely not on a whim, and the next big thing would be.

Thinking of this, Dicko couldn't help swallowing.

"The Mediterranean Fleet must be ready for battle at any time! We must protect the power of Catholicism in the Holy Land, and the fleet commander can have arbitrary power when necessary!" Jerome Bonaparte hinted nakedly to Dicko.

Dicko certainly understood what Jérôme Bonaparte meant. The so-called arbitrary power meant that the Mediterranean Fleet could act against the Russian Empire if he deemed necessary.

In the event of a conflict between the Russian Empire and the French Republic, Palmerston would instigate cabinet members to teach the Russian Empire a lesson, and an alliance between Britain and France would be established effortlessly.

Of course, these operations not only test the flexible diplomatic ability of the diplomats, but also whether the fleet commander can stop in time when he has an advantage.

At present, the French Republic is also not ready for a war with the Russian Empire. The map of the Near East is still being produced in the Secretariat, not to mention that the logistics and Mignet rifles have not been rectified and equipped.

A hasty war will only lead to the same situation as history, no, even worse than history, the diplomatic environment has not yet prepared Jerome Bonaparte to fight against the European powers.

What Jerome Bonaparte needs is a crushing victory, not a victory that is not so different from history.

"Right! You have to grasp the scale!" Jerome Bonaparte then exhorted Dicko.

"Yes!" Dick nodded again to show his understanding.

Jerome Bonaparte turned his eyes to Achille Fuld and said, "Minister Fuld, what else do you want to ask!"

"Your Majesty, half a month is half a century for the exchange, and we don't have to wait so long!" Asil Fuld said politely: "Besides, if the United Kingdom is not willing to make an alliance with us, At this time, the market may be even more pessimistic, and the government's credit may also face bankruptcy!"

"Mr. Fuld, I once said that when necessary, we must take corresponding measures! The reason why the citizens of Paris panic is because they have no confidence in the French government, as long as we can give them enough confidence! Then they will certainly not abandon With bonds in their hands, the people are the easiest to deceive, and it is also the most difficult to deceive!" Jerome Bonaparte said with a slight smile on his face, and said to Achille Fuld: "The exchange should be established when necessary. A circuit breaker! Once the circuit breaker is triggered, the exchange will be forced to close!"

The circuit breaker mechanism mentioned by Jerome Bonaparte was specially set up by the United States of America after World War II in order to prevent the stock market from appearing in a situation similar to the Black Monday period, to prevent the panic caused by the stock market crash, thus causing market participants to lose their judgment and blindly externalize. Sell ​​bonds to prevent irrational and huge fluctuations in the market or a certain product, especially to prevent the market from falling sharply or even causing a stock market crash, in order to maintain market stability.

"Your Majesty, this is the use of administrative means to forcibly interfere with the financial market!" Asil Fuld, a self-professed Saint-Simonian, protested against Jerome Bonaparte's method of substituting administrative orders for the financial market: "Transient The closing of the market will not save the market!"

"No!" Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and said to Achilfold: "The best way is to use coercion to calm investors and prevent the spread of panic. Not only that, once the Rothschild Bank If there is a plan to sell bonds on a large scale, your Ministry of Finance should send personnel to the Rothschild Bank to help Rothschild to rectify the financial situation and prevent the spread of panic. Similarly, the French government should also post an announcement to explain the situation! Responsible for taking over the Rothschild People in Germany also try to find some bureaucrats from other provinces, and many people in the Ministry of Finance are related to Rothschild, which is not conducive to our work!"

Jerome Bonaparte, who has learned the lessons of the future Paris Commune, will certainly not give Rothschild any chance of capital outflow. It is a better way to assign government personnel to the Rothschild Bank.

Of course, all this premise is to prevent Paris from stabilizing Paris' financial markets.

But Jerome Bonaparte also wanted to teach James Rothschild a lesson. Achilfold agreed to Jerome Bonaparte's request half-heartedly.

[Ahilfold and James Rothschild have always been in a state of competition, and he has always been schadenfreude that James Rothschild was suppressed by the president. 】

More importantly, Akhilfurd did not forget that he was a banker and also a finance minister.

As Finance Minister, the most important thing is to maintain the stability of the French financial market.

Although he does not approve of the President and Rothschild's full-scale action, but now that he has already started, he must do whatever it takes to maintain the stability of the financial market.

Otherwise, the French financial market collapses, and he, the Minister of Finance, will also bury the financial building!

"I hope you can cooperate sincerely to stop this coming financial crisis!" Jerome Bonaparte said solemnly to the Minister of Finance, the Minister of the Navy and the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

"Yes!" The three responded in unison.

After the departure of the three ministers, Jerome Bonaparte called the Minister of War General Reno, Brigadier General Canrobert, commander of the 2nd Paris Brigade, and Changarnier, commander of the Paris garrison, to the Elysee Palace~www.novelhall.com~ Minister Reynolds, Commander Changarnier, I plan to mobilize the Second Brigade to carry out a campaign against evil in Paris! I don't know if the War Department and the Paris Garrison Command can sign this order! ! ' said Jerome Bonaparte to Reign and Commander Changarnier.

Minister Reño looked at Jerome Bonaparte in astonishment, he had heard of the suppression of the workers with the army and never heard of the suppression of the gangs with the army.

Since the President personally issued the order, there is no reason for General Reigno and Commander Changarnier to disobey.

Jerome Bonaparte's prestige in the army has grown even more since the Paris 1st Division and the perimeter garrison heard that the President had made a deal with the bankers for them.

Most of the soldiers and junior officers have affectionately called Jerome Bonaparte "our majesty", and Changarnier, who joined Jerome Bonaparte, was also happy to see it.

"However, the position of Brigadier General Canrobert doesn't seem to be able to check the affairs of Paris!" Jerome Bonaparte looked at Commander Changarnier and said, "General Changarnier, can you..."

In order to unite more closely with Gérôme Bonaparte, Changarnier once again compromised, and one of the deputy commanders responsible for helping him manage the National Guard was transferred to the deputy commander of the Pyrenees Front. The Minister appointed Deputy Commander of the garrison of the Seine (Paris) and served as Brigade Commander of the Second Paris Brigade.

Brigadier General Canrobert, who has the status of the garrison of the Seine department, is naturally qualified to intervene in the affairs of the Paris region.

Brigadier General Conrobel's march was also set for December 15, a week later.
