Jerome Bonaparte, who temporarily decided the future ownership of French guns, drove a group of members of the Ministry of War to the production factory of Mini rifles... No, to be precise, it is the gathering place of the French steel industry.

The industrial cluster is located on a wilderness in the northern suburbs of Paris. The yellow sulphur-smelling fumes drifted from the chimneys of the factories towards the surroundings, and soon drifted to the Seine River, which is less than 2 kilometers away from the factory.

At this time, the banks of the Seine were very lively, and a British cargo ship full of bituminous coal was docked at the newly built berth on the river bank.

"Hurry up! You guys!" shouted by the foreman, the workers lifted boxes of bituminous coal from the boat and loaded them on the cart. When the cart was full, two workers would put the cart on the cart. Push to factory for factory use.

Every day the factory devours vast quantities of coal and iron ore, turning them into rails and steel plates, which are then delivered to the Ministry of Railways.

Bituminous coal from Britain and iron ore from Sweden became the main sources of raw materials for the factory.

"Generals, just over half a year ago, this place was still a barren land. In the future, this place will become one of France's industrial and military powerhouses! Everything the French army needs will be produced here!" Jerome Bonaparte proudly pointed at the industrial park in the distance with a horse whip and said to the general who was doing it.

The generals present didn't know the tricks of this factory, let alone building a port for mooring cargo ships, this is not something that can be built with money, only the combination of power and money can be successful.

The value of a port can be completely worth the entire industrial park.

After all, land on the outskirts of Paris is nothing of value.

Under the leadership of Jerome Bonaparte, the generals of the Ministry of War quickly came to the gate of the factory park.

A group of soldiers in blue shirts and armed with new-style Minet rifles hurriedly saluted Jerome Bonaparte after seeing Jerome Bonaparte and others.

Recently, Jerome Bonaparte went to the factory so much that the whole factory knew Jerome Bonaparte.

"Watch our horses!" Jerome Bonaparte dismounted and handed over the horses to the soldiers to give orders.

"Yes!" The soldier took the reins and responded forcefully.

The generals of the War Department also handed over the horses to the soldiers. The gate of the factory slowly opened, and Jerome Bonaparte and members of the War Department entered the industry.

"That's the iron and steel industry area!" Jerome Bonaparte, the guide, pointed to the chimney in one corner of the factory, which was emitting sulfur color and mixed with black gas, and then pointed to the workshop in the other corner of the factory: "There is the locomotive. production area!"

"This industrial park will continue to expand, and they will derive more military subsidiary products on the original basis to ensure the logistical problems of our army!" Jerome Bonaparte continued.

In his plan, such an industrial cluster should not only be established in Paris, but also in Lyon and Strasbourg to establish corresponding large-scale industrial clusters.

[PS: The Strasbourg steel industry has been fully prepared by Eugene Schneider and is about to be put into production. In the military industry, Jerome Bonaparte considered sending a group of experienced workers from Paris. 】

Through industrial clusters, the factory owners of small and medium-sized industries in Paris will be driven to complete the unification of the system. Without unified management and standard parts, the production speed of the French military industry cannot be improved at all.

The production chaos of the French designation will make a joke like in 1870 that the mobilization was earlier than Prussia and the army was later than Prussia.

After the introduction of the steel and locomotive production workshop, Geo-Rome Bonaparte led the General of the War Department to the workshop of the Migne rifle.

At this moment, Basilio, the general manager in charge of the entire industrial production area, who can also be called a professional manager, is standing respectfully at the door of the Mignet rifle workshop. It seems that he should be waiting here for Jerome Bonaparte and others. people.

"Your Excellency the President, fellow generals! Welcome to the Norinco Group in Paris! I am Basilio, the head of this industrial park!" Basilio introduced himself to Jerome Bonaparte and the generals.

Paris-North Industries Group, this is a nasty name given by Jerome Bonaparte for the prototype of the newly established military enterprise group. Of course, it also represents that Jerome Bonaparte is full of enthusiasm for this newly established enterprise. of hope.

Jerome Bonaparte hopes that this military industrial park established by him can meet the supply of the French army, and at the same time, it can also be exported to overseas and become a real international arms company.

"Mr. Basilio, you will show us the Mini Rifle Factory. My generals all want to know the production capacity of this factory!" Jerome Bonaparte pretended to be unaware of the factory. Hirio said.

"Okay! Please come with me!" Basilio took Jérôme Bonaparte to the factory where Migne rifles were made.

The interior of the Migne factory stunned the generals present. Solid iron rods made by sand casting were placed on the first station. The first station simply removed the burrs and drilled holes. After that, it was handed over to the next station...then the people in the next station continued to carry out the next action until after the tenth station, a brand-new Mignet rifle was formed. This method is in line with their impression , a gun is completely different from start to finish by an experienced master craftsman from start to finish.

"Dear generals, our company has adopted standardized management to ensure that every part on the gun is replaceable and universal!!" Basilio said to the generals present.

Semi-streamlined management makes every component a replaceable product, which also solves logistical worries.

"What's your weekly output?" one of the generals asked curiously.

"The weekly output is about 3000-4000! As our factory continues to expand, I believe we can continue to increase production capacity!" Basilio said proudly to the general.

The Basilio data once again caused an uproar among the generals in the War Department. No factory in the original history could achieve this data. Even the Enfield rifle, which is known as Britain's largest arms company, is in Crimea. The production capacity during the war was also around 3,000 per week.

"How do you guarantee quality problems?" Niel, the logistics director, asked his own question.

"Please rest assured, our company will sample and test the produced batches of goods to ensure that there will be no quality problems!" Basilio said slowly.

Next, the generals asked some information from Basilio's mouth, including the news that the Minet shells were also produced according to the standardized process.

After watching the manufacture of the Miner rifle, everyone has no doubts whether the manufacture of the Miner rifle is too rare.

Basilio came to his office with the President and all the members of the War Department.

"Go to work first!" said Jerome Bonaparte to Basilio in a commanding tone.

"Yes!" Basilio was stunned for a moment, then responded immediately.

There are no more "outsiders" in the office.

"Everyone, what do you think?" Jérôme Bonaparte, who was sitting on the chair of the general manager, asked the generals of the War Department mildly and elegantly, "Can they undertake the task of changing the army's clothes!"

"Your Excellency, I personally think they are fully competent!" Minister of War Reynolds immediately stated that in his heart, even if the President did not bring them here to visit the factory, they would obey the President's orders to drive.

Now that they have visited the factory and have a concept of the carrying capacity of the factory, they are more convinced that the factory can handle this project.

But choosing this factory means that they have to give up part of their vested interests.

After all, every arms company will give them a certain amount of rebates. They dare to take action against some firearms companies with no background, but they dare not take action against military conglomerates with presidential holdings.

"Since that's the case, it's settled!" Jerome Bonaparte decided on the army's firearms for the next ten years, and the next step was the "negotiation" between the logistics director Niel and Basilio.

After "intense" bargaining, the two sides determined that each gun only earned Weibo's profit.

"Thank you for the concessions you made for the army!" said Major General Niel Basilio.

"I'm just following my orders!" Basilio knew that it was impossible to make a profit at such a price if it wasn't for a large quantity.

Even if the French Army ordered them hundreds of thousands or even millions of guns, it was barely profitable.

Basilio would have raised the price of the Migne rifle by 50 percent if the president hadn't specifically asked it to.

Right now, we can only hope to occupy a certain share in the overseas market, so that the rifle business can be regarded as making money.

Niel also understood Basilio's subtext. He smiled slightly and did not speak. After the verbal agreement was reached, the next step was to place the order from the Quartermaster Bureau, and then the Minister of War signed it.

As for the life and death of the gun company that was cooperating with the military, Niel was too lazy to care.

Anyway, this contract was signed by Niel’s predecessor. At that time, Niel only needs to announce that there is a loophole in the contract that needs further verification, which means that the entire contract is completely abandoned.

After the initial cooperation was reached, Jerome Bonaparte and others left the factory on horseback.

At the invitation of Jérôme Bonaparte, the war department generals who accompanied the President for a day wandered to the Elysee Palace.

The sumptuous dinner satisfied the appetite of the generals, during which Jérôme Bonaparte also raised his glass to express his gratitude to the members of the War Department.

The Generals of the War Department also humbly expressed their honor to accompany President Jérôme Bonaparte.

After the banquet, Jérôme Bonaparte gave the generals 50,000 to 100,000 francs respectively, euphemistically called the special funds of the President.

[This has also become one of the charges of Jerome Bonaparte's reactionary rule in later generations. A certain pickle country in East Asia also learned Jerome Bonaparte's methods to subsidize his subordinates. 】
