"Your Majesty, I believe that Mr. James Rothschild must be eager to share the country's worries! There is a traitor in their family, and of course they have to pay a certain price for it!"

The Count of Argoux revealed a schadenfreude in his speech. For a "patriot", he weakened the influence of the Rolschild Bank in France and expanded the French "homeland" (the Count of Argoux was actually a Jewish man. Banker, but because of his belief, he was expelled from Jewish status in disguise) The power of banker is the innate responsibility of a responsible President of the Bank of France.

Of course, there were inevitably some "bumps" during the weakening of the Rothschild Bank, such as the massive short sale of the Northern Railway under the control of Baron James Rothschild, which led to the forced sale of tens of thousands of middle-class people. Selling stocks at a bargain... But on the whole Arcourt was a zealous patriot who worked hard to preserve the "independence" of the French banking world, which was a necessary price.

In the eyes of Count Argoux, a "true" nationalist should have the determination that he would rather be exploited by his own bankers than be exploited by foreign forces.

Otherwise, you are not a true nationalist.

"There is a price to be paid for doing wrong. This is the eternal truth!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded with empathy, and he responded righteously: "The French government cannot wrong any good person, nor let it go. Any bad guy!"

"I believe that under the leadership of His Majesty, the French government will definitely reach a new height! Sweeping away the decadence brought by two generations of Bourbons to France." Count Argoux also touted it vigorously.

Jerome Bonaparte's actions of martial law and the inaction of the Legislative Assembly made the Count of Argoux see through the weakness of the Legislative Assembly.

A weak Legislative Assembly is indeed conducive to the decision-making of the Banque de France, but the expansion of capital is inseparable from an iron-blooded ruler.

At present, the capital of France is already saturated, and they urgently need to expand capital abroad. However, the shackles brought by the Holy Alliance not only restricts France, but also restricts them. Whenever they want to expand capital, the local The forces will come up with a so-called "Holy Alliance Program" to chant scriptures.

It can be said that, except for a few international bankers like Rothschild who have banks all over Europe, the strength of other French banks has all been attacked by the local forces of the enemy.

The Banque de France needs a political strongman who will break the shackles brought by the Holy Alliance with a tough stance so that French capital can expand abroad without restraint.

After weighing the pros and cons, the Bank of France forces represented by the Count of Argoux naturally supported President Jerome Bonaparte.

Compared with a cheap bullet, not allowing capital to have enough room to expand is the most uncomfortable thing for banks in France.

The bankers represented by the Count of Argoux wished Jerome Bonaparte to be crowned now, and they could even create a phenomenon that "the people of Paris do not miss the French Empire".

Although this phenomenon is common in the French countryside, the people of Paris who are committed to anti-imperialist and anti-feudalism do not have excessive enthusiasm for the monarchy. Of course, it is impossible for them to sacrifice themselves for the sake of anti-imperialist and anti-feudal closure.

The most revolutionary working class has been crushed by them, how can the petty bourgeoisie achieve great things.

"Count Argoux, I hope you can go to the detention center on my behalf!" Jerome Bonaparte ordered the Count of Argoux.

The Count of Argoux clearly understood what Jerome Bonaparte meant, not just to use him as a microphone to get James Rothschild to agree to the president's conditions.

"It is my duty to serve France!" Count Argoux also said to Jerome Bonaparte in an official tone.

"By the way, and this!" Jerome Bonaparte took a letter from the drawer and handed it to the Count of Argoux: "Please give this to Mister James Rothschild, and tell him that France is Britain's proposal for a "liberal coalition"!"

Liberal coalition? The president was thinking...if that's the case, it's so...

Count Argu instantly thought from the Free Alliance that the president might attack the Russian Empire.

Thinking that the shackles brought to France by the Holy Alliance would be broken due to France's declaration of war on the Russian Empire, Count Argoux felt an unprecedented relief, and even the air became extraordinarily fresh.

This refreshing only lasted for a short time. Count Argoux recalled the failure of His Majesty the Emperor in Moscow, and France could not experience another failure.

Count Argu, who took the letter, glanced at the envelope. There was no name on the envelope, so it was impossible to know who sent the letter.

Count Argu, who took the letter in his arms, asked worriedly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for asking! Is your alliance with the Kingdom of Britain going to attack the empire in the east?"

The Eastern Empire that Count Argu was referring to was, of course, the Russian Empire.

"Yes and no!" said Jerome Bonaparte, ambiguous.

"Huh?" Count Argoux looked at Jerome Bonaparte suspiciously.

"I will not start any war in the next few years, and the alliance with the Kingdom of Britain is only so that we can use the power of Britain to do something!" Jerome Bonaparte said to the Count of Argoux.

The alliance with Britain is only a stopgap measure. At this stage, neither France nor Britain has the determination to fight the Russian Empire, and the fateful enemies of the Austrian Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia have also not completely broken with the Russian Empire. The most important thing is to maintain domestic stability through the prestige of the alliance.

As for whether to reach a consensus with Britain on the issue of the Russian Empire next, it can only depend on the next international situation.

"That could not be better!" Count Argu also said complimentingly.

"By the way! Mr. Count, what do you think of the gold mines in California?" Jerome Bonaparte talked to Count Argoux about the gold mines in California in a casual language.

"Superb deception!" Count Argoux immediately responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Huh?" Jerome Bonaparte, who heard the word "scam" from Count Argoux's mouth, looked at the banker with interest.

"Your Majesty, in fact, there are not as many gold mines in California as reported! Those who are interested use this opportunity to render it a home of gold, as if they can pick up a piece of gold by lifting their legs there." Count Argu Explained to Jerome Bonaparte.

In fact, after the first report of the discovery of gold in California, Count Argu sent a survey team to California to conduct a survey.

The results obtained by the exploration team were that there was indeed gold in California, but far less than reported.

Count Argoux immediately thought that this was a scam, and he gave up the idea in an instant while maintaining a cautious view of finance in the Middle Ages. In his opinion, it was nothing more than a ridiculous scam.

"Monsieur Count! Perhaps your judgment is wrong?" Jerome Bonaparte responded to the Count of Argoux with a smile.

"Your Majesty, are you..." Count Argoux looked at Jerome Bonaparte in surprise.

Could it be that the president also sent people to California to survey?

Jerome Bonaparte still smiled and took out a letter and pushed it in front of Count Argoux: "Open it and see!"

Count Argu opened the letterhead carefully. The content of the letter said that they had surveyed gold deposits in California and were setting up a mining company.

The name of the letterhead is Jerome Parson.

Jerome Bonaparte explained to the Count of Argoux: "In March last year, I sent a survey team to California to survey gold! Unexpectedly, they really surveyed a gold mine!"

"Ah!" Count Argu felt a little ashamed, and he had just sworn to assure the President that it was a scam.

As a result, the president quickly surveyed a gold mine.

The Count of Argoux did not know that going to California to explore the gold mines was an idle move by Jerome Bonaparte in early 1848~www.novelhall.com~ Jerome Bonaparte once saw a group of According to data, in 1845, the total amount of gold in the world totaled 1.6 million ounces, of which more than half came from the Russian Empire. By 1855, the world had a total of 6.4 million ounces.

Half of the gold comes from California and the other half from Australia.

Due to the desire for money and power, going to California to prospect for gold has become a must.

Only by ensuring that France has sufficient gold can help the cousin to stabilize France when necessary.

They can only be stable if their cousin's throne is stable.

So he persuaded his sister Mathilde and his father, Prince Jerome Sr, to induce Jerome Sr. to invest 100,000 francs for his survey team on the condition that he promised Jerome Parson, adding Mathilde He gave 200,000 francs to set up a survey team, and at the same time let his father give his grandson, that is, Jerome Bonaparte's unmasked nephew in the United States, Jerome Parson, as the survey team. lead.

With the death of his cousin cholera, he has to take on the unfinished business of his cousin, and the affairs of the survey team are left behind by Jerome Bonaparte.

It was not until recently that a letter had crossed the ocean and was handed over to Jerome Bonaparte that Jerome Bonaparte remembered that he seemed to have had a survey party.

The gold mine exploration team also lived up to expectations, and under the leadership of Jerome Parson, a gold mine was surveyed.

Now they have blocked the place by hiring American cowboys, and established a mining company, which can only be mined after the follow-up capital is injected again. From the letter, the output of this gold mine is definitely not low.
