Planning production for war has never been uncommon. Even in the feudal dynasty, they followed vague planned production principles to formulate the amount of weapons and forage required for a war.
However, the armament required for the organized and large-scale planned production war was realized only in the great revolution of several decades.
When the revolutionary government issued a mobilization to Paris and even all of France, all factories, scientists and workers in Paris obeyed the orders of the revolutionary government to carry out large-scale production, and the whole of Paris became a large arsenal just a few days ago. , to send a large amount of weapons and equipment to the revolutionary army, so that the original bare-handed revolutionary army can have weapons to compete with the anti-French feudal alliance.
Of course, the mobilization of war in which the revolutionary government was located was only a ray of light in the history of planned mobilization.
What really brought the planned war to the stage was the Civil War seven years later. That war can be said to be a rehearsal of the First World War.
Under the leadership of the Northern Federation, the war committee composed of the heads of the federal bureaus brought all military and military-related resources to the central government. Major General Kirk, a personal adviser designated by the federal president Lincoln, served as the chairman of the committee. Large-scale planning Mobilization is achieved.
However, after the Civil War and before the First World War, the United States never again promoted the advantages of industrial mobilization, and the War Council was also abolished.
The war planning committee mentioned by Jerome Bonaparte is slightly more centralized than the federal government committee. It not only involves military issues, but also involves some economic issues during the war. The war led to large fluctuations in the domestic economy.
This method is the first of its kind in France, and even in the whole world.
Therefore, when the real businessmen present heard the topics of "index" and "plan" in Jerome Bonaparte's mouth, they would not think of the Civil War ten years later, but subconsciously think of the Great Revolution French initiatives during the period.
Some imaginative real businessmen even thought of the actions of the revolutionary government to hang some unscrupulous businessmen during the Great Revolution in order to pacify the rising prices, as well as the more radical ideas and policies of Marat and Robespierre.
Those imaginative businessmen turned pale instantly, and their legs trembled involuntarily. Fear was like a plague, and it spread to all the merchants around (except Eugene Schneider and Basilio), and they couldn't help but start thinking wildly.
The most frightening of them all was François Wendell, who was beside Jerome Bonaparte. He saw that his face was ashes, tremblingly begged Jerome Bonaparte for mercy: "Your Majesty... . . . I'm willing to give my factory and all my property to..."
Before Francois Wendell could finish speaking, Jerome Bonaparte interrupted him immediately: "What do I want your factory and property to do?"
Afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte glanced around again. He found that everyone's eyes were full of fear, and he couldn't help laughing angrily: "Are you still thinking that I am trying to rob you!"
After hearing Jérôme Bonaparte's questioning, the real businessman subconsciously gave a shudder and denied it: "No!"
"Don't worry! I'm not guilty of using this roundabout method to steal your property!" Jerome Bonaparte first gave the physical businessman present a reassurance pill.
The merchants present immediately realized this, and their trembling hearts finally had a little peace of mind.
Then, Jerome Bonaparte continued: "Not only will the government not confiscate your property, on the contrary, we will encourage you, the real businessmen, that your efforts for the country during the war can help you Get some tax relief!"
When businessmen heard about tax relief, their fears disappeared without a trace.
After seeing that many people were no longer afraid of the war planning committee, Jerome Bonaparte began to explain to them the specific work of the war planning committee, including how to issue orders, how to produce according to orders... and many other issues.
All the real businessmen present immediately understood what Jerome Bonaparte meant after listening to Jerome Bonaparte's explanation.
"If the planning committee is the head, then the committee you are joining now is the body. Before you, these committees were attached to the two departments of the army and the navy. Now I want to take all these rights to the government department. The army and navy need it. After the supply is reported to the planning committee, the planning committee will communicate the indicators to you! You only need to complete the production within the time given by the planning committee!" Jerome Bonaparte again used simple and clear language to the presence of businessman explaining the situation.
Afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte inquired in a negotiating tone what the businessman present thought.
The merchants present agreed with Jerome Bonaparte after hesitating for a while.
Compared with the confiscation of their property by government departments, it is obviously a relatively easy industry to let government departments settle in.
As for the planning committee, Jerome Bonaparte has found a suitable candidate.
"Excellent!" Jerome Bonaparte smiled with satisfaction, these guys were easier to yield than he imagined.
Afterwards, after Jerome Bonaparte gave some verbal encouragement to all the real businessmen present, the negotiation between the government and the management was concluded.
The brick-and-mortar businessmen who had no intention of wandering around said goodbye to Jerome Bonaparte. Jerome Bonaparte shook hands with them one after another, and after saying two words of encouragement, they were allowed to leave.
In the end, only Eugène Schneider was left to stay in place. He had to stay when he was shaking hands with Jerome Bonaparte when he heard Jerome Bonaparte asking him to stay. .
"Mr. Schneider, let's go!" Jerome Bonaparte invited Eugène Schneider to continue strolling in the industrial park. On the way, he also asked about Eugène Schneider's work in Lorraine and Leclerc .
When Jerome Bonaparte and Eugène Schneider arrived at the entrance of the Rifle Research Institute in the industrial park, Jerome Bonaparte stopped and asked Eugène Schneider: "Schneider Sir, I wonder if you, as an inventor, are interested in political work?"
Eugène Schneider, who heard Jerome Bonaparte's questioning, was stunned at first, and then showed an expression of bewilderment. Jerome Bonaparte's sudden question made Eugène Schneider, who was originally calm, confused. .
"I..." Eugene Schneider seemed to want to say something, but couldn't say anything.
"What's wrong? If you don't want to, don't force it!" Jerome Bonaparte said sympathetically.
Although Eugene Schneider in history served as the Speaker of the Legislative Council, that was seventeen years later, and now Eugene Schneider is probably far less sophisticated than seventeen years later.
Of course, Jérôme Bonaparte does not need a particularly sophisticated politician. The role of an inventor of science and technology in that position is more practical than that of a pure politician.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Eugene Schneider first apologized to Jerome Bonaparte, and then asked, "If I agree to your request, what position will I hold!"
"If you are willing to engage in political work, I am ready to give you the position of chairman of the planning committee!" Jerome Bonaparte said bluntly to Eugène Schneider as long as "this department will be directly under my leadership, And the person who leads this committee will be equated with the ministers of various departments at the executive level!"
Hearing Jerome Bonaparte's answer, Eugène Schneider couldn't help but feel a little moved. He asked again: "Your Majesty, why did you choose me?"
"For me, the person in this position only needs a guy who is more sensitive to numbers! No matter how bad it is, he only needs to not be overridden by the academic bureaucrats under him." Jerome Bonaparte's tone was indifferent Responding to Eugene Schneider in such a way as to state a trivial matter.
This made Eugene Schneider, who thought he had some political potential to be discovered by the emperor, a little frustrated.
However, Jérôme Bonaparte's next sentence gave Eugène Schneider a little comfort: "Eugène Schneider~www.novelhall.com~ you are a person with a strong grasp of numbers. Sensitive people are also a group of people who have been with me for a long time, so I prefer to hand this position to someone I trust! I don’t know what you think!”
"I am willing to try to hold this position!" Eugene Schneider immediately responded to Jerome Bonaparte.
"Very good!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded slightly, then patted Eugène Schneider on the shoulder and said solemnly: "I only give you one week, you need to use this week... In four days, you only have four days to hand over all the work you are doing now, and then devote yourself to the formation of the planning committee.
Our war with Russia has begun, you must hurry! have you understood? "
Eugene Schneider, who heard the urgency in Jerome Bonaparte's words, immediately responded: "Understood."
"Okay! You can go back and prepare!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Eugène Schneider.
Eugène Schneider bowed to Jerome Bonaparte and left the industrial park. Jerome Bonaparte walked straight towards the Rifle Research Institute along the road paved with cement.
