As soon as Jerome Bonaparte's voice fell, the congressman who had come to his senses immediately heard the unquestionable determination contained in Jerome Bonaparte's words.
When a Caesar was determined to carry out a certain order, the "seniors" who were surrounded by Caesar agreed with all his decisions, the venue suddenly became jubilant, and many deputies immediately stood up and raised their hands to the heat Roma Bonaparte saluted a standard Roman rite.
"Long Live the Empire, Long Live the Emperor, Long Live Bonaparte!"
Amidst cheers, the legislature unanimously approved Jerome Bonaparte's request for emergency funding for the Russian war.
The proposal stipulates that France will issue short-term war bonds of 50 million francs and long-term bonds of 150 million francs as the war expenses of the French Empire against the Russian Empire. During the war, if the French army is faced with insufficient military expenditures, War bonds can also continue to be sold to meet the war needs of the French Empire.
Theoretically, the upper limit of war bonds does not have any reality. However, considering the actual national strength of France, the finance department has come to the upper limit of the issuance of war bonds, preferably not more than 500 million francs.
Otherwise, if there are too many war bonds, it will easily affect the price fluctuations of the war bonds themselves, thus making war credits a piece of waste paper.
The most intuitive example is the Russian Empire. Now the purchasing power of the Russian Empire's war claims in the international market is like a piece of waste paper.
So that all their military operations need to rely on the country's short-sleeved finances to maintain the huge spending problem of the army.
Amid the cheers, Jerome Bonaparte came to the Senate with the passed proposal.
In the Senate, Jérôme Bonaparte once again told the senators of the "evil deeds" of the Russian Empire.
The elders of the senate also cast their votes in favor of the proposal in outrage.
After the Legislative Council and the Senate have all succeeded, the next step is to carry out the specific implementation by the Senate.
On the order of the Senate, the Ministry of Finance of the French Empire began to act on the issue of emergency appropriations.
The short-term war bonds of 50 million francs were immediately put into the pockets of the bankers of the Ministry of Railways. The bankers of the Ministry of Railways who received compensation finally felt better, and they began to look forward to the next long-term bonds of 150 million francs.
At the same time, the General Staff, which had already been prepared, began to act in accordance with the plan drawn up by the declaration of war.
Under the order of the General Staff, the reserve division located in Strasbourg began to build under the mobilization of the division commander and the division staff. The elite battalions scattered all over Strasbourg began to gather into one regiment, and three regiments were formed. A brigade... Due to the early establishment of the two-level staff of the brigade and division, the troops that were not originally affiliated with the same regiment began to run in at an extremely fast speed.
The soldiers of a division were assembled in less than two days. The Eastern Railway Bureau in Strasbourg also worked overtime after receiving the assembly of the reserve division.
Unarmed soldiers lined up to arrive at the military train station. They will take the stuffy train to the Lyon area. After the round with the Alpine reserve force in the Lyon area, they will stay in Lyon and wait for the next order at any time.
On the other hand, Commander Canrobel (1st Division), Bosquet Division (2nd Division), and Guard Division (3rd Division), nearly 90,000 people also gathered in Paris.
The Central Railway Bureau began to transport more than 90,000 soldiers to Marseille, France in batches under the personal command and dispatch of the Minister of Railways Baroche.
The soldiers, who are also bare-handed, will receive their respective equipment in Marseille, and the three-gun dogs will travel to the Varna region in the French naval fleet.
The 6 battalion battalions stationed near the province of Constantinople in French Algeria also acted, and under the leadership of McMahon and Bazin, they boarded the ships of the French Mediterranean Fleet. After drifting at sea for about a week, I arrived at Rhodes Island. After unloading some unnecessary equipment in Rhodes Island, I went to Varna according to the local conditions of the Ottoman Empire.
It can be said that from the end of August to the middle of September, the French Empire entered into an efficient and intense mobilization.
Just as Jerome Bonaparte was mobilizing nervously, Tsar Nicholas I of the Russian Empire in St. Petersburg also received a "war letter" from the French Empire in early September.
When the French ambassador to Russia asked Nicholas I to immediately stop the invasion of the Russian Empire in an orderly manner, Nicholas I's first reaction was whether France was crazy.
As a victim, the Ottoman Empire itself has not complained to the Russian Empire, and the French Empire has to help the Ottoman Empire in advance.
It's really surprising.
Later, Nicholas I also said in front of the French ambassador exactly the same words that the Russian ambassador said in front of Jerome Bonaparte.
"I will never let go of the Christians in the Balkans!" Nicholas I responded to Jerome Bonaparte with a strong and devout attitude, and then threatened the French ambassador: "I hope that the French Empire will be restored. Look at what you are doing and don't go astray! Napoleon lost his entire empire because of his misjudgment of the situation! Our army is fully prepared!"
The threat of Nicholas I is so ridiculous in the eyes of the French ambassador. The Russian imperial army is no longer the army of 1812, but their emperor is not aware of it, and is still dreaming of the dream of 1812. .
"Your Majesty, if the Empire is unwilling to accept France's suggestion, then please forgive me for not staying too long in the Russian Empire! Because my country is at war against you at any time!" The French used the most humble attitude and said the most arrogant words.
"If the French Empire thinks you can conquer the Russian Empire, then come! I will do what my brother Alexander did in 1812, as long as foreign troops remain on Russian soil, even if the enemy pushes us into the Ural Mountains to East, we will never lay down our arms." Nicholas I shouted at the French ambassador, blushing with excessive anger.
Now Nicholas I is like a severely wounded beast, grinning at all enemies who threaten him.
The French ambassador still looked directly at Nicholas I with calm eyes, then bowed slightly to Nicholas I and left.
When the French ambassador left the Royal Village alone to return to the embassy in St. Petersburg, he "just happened" to meet the British ambassador, Lord Seymour.
At the warm invitation of the French ambassador, Lord Seymour returned with him to the French embassy in Russia.
The French ambassador sitting on the red cushioned sofa of the embassy first exchanged a few words with the British ambassador, Lord Seymour.
When the chat was getting better, he pretended to unconsciously reveal to Lord Seymour what happened after he went to the Royal Village.
After listening to what the French ambassador said, Lord Seymour immediately understood what the French Empire might do next.
"That's a pity!" Lord Seymour shook his head and said to the French ambassador.
"Yeah! However, I think your country will be like the French Empire soon! An extremely aggressive country will never be able to gain true friends!" The French ambassador smiled slightly, and by the way, he connoted the Russian Empire.
"It depends on the meaning of the British Cabinet!" Lord Seymour responded to the French ambassador.
After the two continued to have a back-and-forth conversation, Lord Seymour left the French embassy.
The day after that, the French ambassador left St. Petersburg by speedboat.
Lord Seymour was once again invited to the Imperial Village by Nicholas I.
In one of the guest rooms in the Catherine Palace, Lord Seymour saw Nicholas I. At this time, Nicholas I looked a little restless, and he paced back and forth in the room. For a long time, until Lord Seymour came to the room.
"You guys are supporting me, right?" Nicholas I, who had just met, asked Ambassador Seymour with a sincere look in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, I don't understand what you're talking about?" Although Lord Seymour had guessed the whole meaning of Nicholas I, he still responded with a straight face.
"I mean... yes..." Nicholas I hesitated for a few seconds, then reorganized his language: "On the issue of the Near East ~www.novelhall.com~ the Kingdom of Britain and the Russian Empire should work together , I believe your Prime Minister, Lord Aberdeen, is a true gentleman as I think!"
Nicholas I played a "Unity" card, and then began to present facts and reason: "We all know that the Ottoman Empire is terminally ill and cannot be rescued by any means! It's time to divide all the things he left behind! Britain gets Egypt, Cyprus...Austria gets...Russia gets..."
"Does the Austrian Empire think the same way?" Lord Seymour asked again after Nicholas I finished speaking.
Nicholas I's eyes were a little erratic, and then he responded with a confident tone: "Although I did not have a specific conversation with my brother Franz Joseph on this issue, I believe that their views on the Ottoman Empire should be the same as me too!"
After Nicholas I said this, Lord Seymour could be sure that the Austrian Empire did not get on Nicholas I's pirate ship at all, and everything was just an excuse for Nicholas I.
"Whether the Ottoman Empire collapses should depend on the Ottoman Empire itself, and Britain is also reluctant to see a country at risk of collapse!"
