"Paterson! How are you doing recently? Do you have any plans for your future?"
Jerome Bonaparte, who called Jerome Paterson from the Elysee Palace to the Tuileries Palace, asked him about his future plans in a cordial but dignified tone.
Although Jerome Bonaparte had already arranged the next plan for Paterson in his heart, he still wanted to hear the plan of this nephew who came from the New World.
"Your Majesty, I hope you can approve me to join the French army and serve the Empire!" Jerome Paterson answered Jerome Bonaparte with his chest raised.
After several days of careful observation on the banks of the Seine and Paris train stations, Jerome Paterson felt that the whole of Paris seemed to be in the midst of a highly tense mobilization, and there would be different trains and freighters every day. Between Paris and the provinces, every train and freighter was loaded with goods.
This atmosphere made Jerome Patterson recall the scenes of the Mexican-American War seven years ago.
Jerome Patterson, who was living in New York at the time, was very young, but he would never forget the scene at that time.
Therefore, Jerome Paterson concluded that the French Empire is likely to face a war.
Derived from Bonaparte's competitive genes, and the "ranger" style developed from listening to the adventure stories of cowboys in the New World since childhood, Jerome Paterson did not want to miss this upcoming war.
Even if Jerome Bonaparte hadn't asked Jerome Paterson what he wanted to do, he would have found a suitable moment to explain his aspirations to Jerome Bonaparte.
Hearing Jerome Paterson's words, Jerome Bonaparte was silent for a moment, and then said with a serious expression without a trace of emotion: "War is no child's play! It is one group versus another group. Bloody collision, hundreds of thousands of people fighting each other in dozens of kilometers! Once the war starts, I will never allow anyone to withdraw from this war for any reason! Even if you are my nephew..." Jerome Bona Ba paused for a moment and changed his words: "No, it is because you are my nephew! I will send you to the troops with a higher mortality rate during the war to accept the baptism of the war!
Trust me! There, you will see the comrades who accompany each other day and night being stabbed by the bayonet of each other, hear the painful groans of teammates, and smell the disgusting smell of feces, blood and brains!
tell me! Can you live with this? If you can't, then you'd better stay behind me obediently! Otherwise, on the battlefield, no one can tolerate you! "
Jerome Bonaparte's words did not make the hot-blooded young man flinch. Jerome Paterson, who yearned for war in his bones, gave Jerome Bonapart a standard military salute, and replied in a sonorous tone: " I promise you! No matter what happens, I will not back down! I will take responsibility for my actions!"
"Very good!" Jerome Bonaparte smiled. He was even more satisfied with the nephew in front of him. Now he just needs a member of the Bonaparte family to help him manage the army. He doesn't care if Jerome Paterson really understands war. He just needs to show the people of Paris and the army that the Bonaparte family is side by side with them. fight.
If the empire had not been in a completely stable stage, Jerome Bonaparte would have considered learning from his uncle and led the army to attack the Russian Empire.
In this war with no suspense, as long as France's subjective initiative is fully exerted, the Russian imperial army is no match for France at all.
Furthermore, the reason why Jerome Bonaparte perfected the system of the general staff was not to be able to better help him make decisions, and to select qualified chiefs of staff to assist him by the way.
Jerome Bonaparte is far inferior to the generals in Paris in terms of strategy and tactics, but his own advantage lies in his control over the direction of future wars.
To seize this will also seize the lifeblood of future wars. Imagine that when you are using the previous generation of technology to fight, the opponent has used half or a version of your weapon to fight against it.
As long as the opposing ruler knocks you down in one fell swoop before you change.
Then again, Jerome Bonaparte's "Very good" made Jerome Paterson excited, and he cautiously and tentatively asked: "So you agreed?"
"That's right!" Jerome Bonaparte pointed at Jerome Paterson and said, "You are now appointed as a French dragoon with the rank of second lieutenant!"
"That's great!" Jerome Patterson's face filled with a joyous smile again, this silly boy with heroic dreams in his head has already imagined the scene of himself wearing a breastplate and galloping through the battlefield to kill the enemy: "Your Majesty , where are my troops now?"
"So eager to return to the team?" Jerome Bonaparte said with a chuckle.
"Of course! I can't wait to defeat the enemy for you and for the Empire!" Jerome Bonaparte said with a straight chest without fear.
"The spirit is worth encouraging!" Jerome Bonaparte was quite satisfied with Jerome Paterson's mental state, and then changed the conversation: "However, your mission now is not to go to the military camp!"
"Then what am I going to do now?" Jerome Patterson asked Jerome Bonaparte again.
"You will now supervise the railway bonds for a period of time in my place!" Jerome Bonaparte told Jerome Patterson about the railway bonds.
Jerome Patterson's expression changed from excitement to hesitation.
Although he had also been exposed to some financial knowledge during his time in the New World, those who only had skins, and it was really difficult for some strongmen to let a person who only knew skins supervise a huge amount of railway bonds.
"Your Majesty, I have not learned about the management of railway bonds!" Jerome Paterson said to Jerome Bonaparte in a low tone.
"Don't worry! I have ordered Baroche, the Minister of Railways, to assist you! In fact, what you need to do is to prevent someone from making a mess of Prince Lucien Murat's name!" Jerome Bonaparte told Jerome Bonaparte. Paterson replied.
Although Lucien Murat himself did not do anything to get over the line during his tenure as a senator, there is no guarantee that he will not be tempted by billions of francs of railway bonds.
If by chance he stumbles in private, Jerome Bonaparte will have a hard time ending.
A stunner like Jerome Patterson is indeed an excellent surveillance tool.
After the war began, Jérôme Bonaparte took control of the railway bonds himself.
"But..." Jerome Paterson still hesitated. From the look on his face, he doesn't seem to want to take the position.
"Don't worry! When the war begins, I will naturally recruit someone to take your place and transfer you to the battlefield!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Jerome Paterson.
"I would like to take this position!" said Jerome Paterson to Jerome Bonaparte.
"Okay! You can report to the Ministry of Railways now! I have already said hello to the Minister of Railways Baroche in advance!" Jerome Bonaparte patted Jerome Paterson on the shoulder and said earnestly: "When you get there, if you encounter problems you don't understand, you should communicate with them more! Learning more will always be beneficial!"
Feeling Jerome Bonaparte's ardent concern for Jerome Patterson's heart, he made up his mind to help his uncle maintain the operation of the railway bonds: "Understood!"
"Go!" Jerome Bonaparte gently pushed Jerome Paterson.
Jerome Patterson took a few straight steps back, and then gave Ordinary Bonaparte a standard military salute.
Jerome Bonaparte also saluted Jerome Paterson.
Not long after Jerome Paterson left, there was another knock on the door outside the study.
Jerome Bonaparte, who was correcting documents, raised his head and responded to the door: "Come in!"
The door was pushed open, and Virnia in a black suit appeared at the door of the room, took small steps to Jerome Bonaparte, and gently picked Jerome Bonaparte with her slender white fingers. Bonaparte's jaw.
In the office, Jerome Bonaparte raised his head and looked at the little guy who pretended to be an adult. He smiled dotingly and said, "What's wrong?"
Seeing this, Virnia sat down on Jerome Bonaparte's lap, pressed his back tightly to Jerome Bonaparte's chest, and spoke to Jerome Bonaparte in a drowsy tone. He said loudly, "I can't come to you if I have nothing to do! I'm your secretary anyway!"
Jerome Bonaparte wrapped Vernia around his waist with one hand, while the other hand gently stroked Vernia's hair and said softly, "You still know you are a secretary!"
"Why don't I know!" Vernia pouted and said to Jerome Bonaparte with an unhappy expression on his face: "I can always be a supervisor for you!"
"Okay! My little overseer!" Jerome Bonaparte squeezed Vernia's mellow face again in a wicked way: "Do you have any good news to tell me!"
"How do you know?" Virnia raised his head and looked at Jerome Bonaparte in surprise~www.novelhall.com~ Then what else can you do here? Jerome Bonaparte replied to Vernia with a shrug.
"I can't come here to see you!" Virnia responded with a whimper.
"Okay! Don't make trouble!" Jerome Bonaparte put both hands on Vernia's waist, and asked softly, placing his head on Vernia's earlobe, "Is it the North Industries Group? There's something new out there!"
"Yeah!" Vernia, who felt the heat coming from her earlobe, showed a slight rosy face, she nodded and said to Jerome Bonaparte: "Basilio let me tell you, you The new field gun that they were asked to develop, they have done it!"
