"Your Majesty, it won't be long before those groundhogs in California (Isaac Perel's nickname for gold diggers) will find that the yellow and darling (gold) they have worked so hard to find will turn into a pile of No one wants broken stones (exaggerated). At that time, there will be a large-scale panic in the market, and people will want to get rid of their gold, and we can start them at a very low price!”
Isaac Perel explained to Jerome Bonaparte confidently, and then added: "This huge project involves not only many banks in France, but also many British banks such as Barings. Let's do it together! We will definitely be able to defeat the local forces in the United States of America!"
Isaac Perel's grand plan made Jerome Bonaparte feel that Isaac Perel's daring act.
Once Isaac Perel succeeds, the gold mines that the United States of America has worked so hard to excavate will become the possession of the British and French, and the federal government of the United States will suffer a devastating blow.
and many more! We can…
Jerome Bonaparte suddenly realized that not only the United States of America has gold in this world, but the Russian Empire also contains a certain amount of recent developments.
The Russian Empire was the world's gold supplier until the gold mines in Australia and California were not mined.
If Britain and France can use the power of capital to knock down the price of gold, it is bound to affect the Russian Empire.
The price of the paper ruble will gradually decline with the decline of gold.
By that time, the mobilization capacity of the Russian Empire will be further weakened.
The war between Britain, France and the Russian Empire is not only limited to the battle of life and death on the battlefield, but should also be extended to the financial field.
Thinking of this, Jerome Bonaparte said, "I have a suggestion..."
Jérôme Bonaparte suggested that the Russian Empire should also be drawn into the financial battlefield, by reducing the purchasing power of the Russian Empire's gold to weaken the Russian Empire's ability to mobilize.
"Your Majesty, for a short sale of this scale, I'm afraid the Bank of France will take action!" Isaac Perel responded to Jerome Bonaparte.
"I will solve this problem!" Jerome Bonaparte replied to Isaac Perel.
Jérôme Bonaparte was not only going to use the Banque de France, but he was going to persuade the Bank of England to join them.
Relying on the strong capital of Britain and France, they will definitely be able to hollow out the wealth of Russia and the United States.
"If that's the case, that's great!" Isaac Perel said with a smile.
For a qualified financial trader, the more people who join this financial war, the more power they can use later, and the more they can grasp the financial potential of completely destroying Russia and the United States.
"By the way, there is one more thing!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Isaac Perel immediately: "Are you interested in opening a branch in the Far East?"
"Far East?" Issac Perel repeated Jerome Bonaparte with a puzzled look?
"That's right! I plan to ship all the outdated equipment from France to the Far East..." Jerome Bonaparte explained to Isaac Perel why he wanted Isaac Perel's company to be in the Far East Open a branch.
"For a period of time in the future, your bank will monopolize all the interests of France in the Far East! All transactions will also be done through your bank!" This is the special way that Jérôme Bonaparte opened up the Far East market to the Industrial Bank of Paris. preferential treatment.
"Our bank is willing to obey His Majesty's instructions and provide dedicated services for the business of the French Empire in the Far East!" Isaac Perel agreed to Jerome Bonaparte's invitation without hesitation.
For a bank, there is nothing more money-transferring than a monopoly.
Even if it is only a monopoly for a period of time, it is enough for Industrial Bank of Paris to weave a huge network of relationships in the Far East, thus blocking the way for latecomers.
"Since your bank is willing, then I will not find anyone else!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded and said to Isaac Perel.
Isaac Perel left Jerome Bonaparte's study with a full harvest, and left a note worth 10 million before he left.
With this note, Jerome Bonaparte can go to the Industrial Bank of Paris to exchange the equivalent franc.
Obviously, this is the "honour" that Isaac Perel gave to Jerome Bonaparte.
Although Jerome Bonaparte himself was not very interested in money, Isaac Perel did not dare to neglect the emperor because he was not interested in money.
It can be said that the achievements of the Industrial Bank of Paris and their Perel brothers are completely inseparable from the support of Jérôme Bonaparte himself.
Maintaining a friendly relationship with Caesars as much as possible is the secret to a long-lasting bank.
After Isaac Perel left, Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and put 10 million francs into the drawer.
In the next four days, Jérôme Bonaparte rewarded each of the families of Canrobert, Perissier, Bosquet, Saint Arnault, Niel, and Cousin Montauban respectively. 200,000 francs per person, Brigadier General Bazin, Brigadier General Trosch, and Brigadier General McMahon each 100,000 francs, and the remaining major generals and brigadier generals range from 50,000 to 70,000...
After the lavish reward, Jerome Bonaparte had only 400,000 francs left.
Jerome Bonaparte donated 200,000 francs to the French Academy of Sciences and the Charity Hospital in his own name.
When later scholars counted the emperor's food and clothing expenses, they found that the annual personal expenses of the emperor and his wife were about 1.2-1.8 million francs.
Most of the remaining money is spent on rewards and charity.
On March 23, a letter from London crossed the ocean to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. After receiving the letter, Foreign Minister De Ruiz hurriedly arrived at the Tuileries Palace with the letter.
"Your Majesty, this is a letter from Palmerston, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom!" De Ruiz said as he handed the letter to Jerome Bonaparte.
The expression of Jerome Bonaparte, who spread out the letter and read it carefully, gradually became solemn. When he read the contents of the letter, he raised his head and looked at De Ruiz and said, "What about Palmerston's words? What do you think about the opening of the second battlefield!"
It turned out that Prime Minister Palmerston said two things in the letter, one of which was that he wanted to open up a second battlefield in the St. Petersburg area in order to destroy the Russian Empire more quickly.
In order to accomplish the main goal of quickly destroying the Russian Empire, Palmerston hoped that the French Empire would act with the British Kingdom and persuade the Swedish Kingdom to join the war against the Russian Empire.
"Your Majesty, I think Palmerston's plan is too risky!" De Ruiz responded cautiously to Jerome Bonaparte.
yes! The plan in Palmerston's letter can no longer be called a plan.
The premise of landing in St. Petersburg is that the British and French naval fleets can completely suppress the Russian Empire’s construction of goose forts in St. Petersburg, and at the same time, the British and French vanguard troops have to defeat the Russian imperial army’s repeated counterattacks.
St. Petersburg is not a frontier town like Sevastopol, it is the heart of the entire Russian Empire.
At the same time, it is also the station of the Russian Imperial Guard troops, and two of the three Guards of the Russian Empire are stationed there.
Once the British and French troops tried to land in St. Petersburg, the three British, French and Russian troops were bound to engage in a meat grinder-style battle in the radiation area centered on the port of St. Petersburg.
Such a result was an unacceptable condition for Jerome Bonaparte in any case.
Not to mention, persuading the Kingdom of Sweden to join the fight against the Russian Empire is also a fantasy.
The total number of troops deployed by the Russian Empire on the front line in Finland is about 300,000 (the Russian Empire claims to the outside world), while the troops in the hands of the Kingdom of Sweden are only about 70,000.
Even if the 300,000 boasted by the Russian Empire were cut in half, there would still be around 150,000 soldiers who could fight.
Use 70,000 troops against 150,000 troops, unless the Kingdom of Sweden has a commander like Berthier and Gustav.
Once the front line of the Kingdom of Sweden is pushed back, the French Empire will need to go to the rescue.
Jerome Bonaparte doubted whether Palmerston wanted to push the French Empire into the fire pit.
"The opening of the second battlefield is definitely not acceptable!" Jerome Bonaparte said decisively: "You tell Palmerston that the French Empire will only fight according to the established plan! If the Kingdom of Britain insists on logging in to St. Petersburg , then ask them to log in by themselves!"
"Yes!" De Ruiz responded to Jerome Bonaparte.
"As for the matter of inviting the Austrian Empire to participate in the war against Russia! (another matter Jerome Bonaparte pondered for a while, then said, "You say that the French Empire agrees in principle with the British Kingdom's Proposal, agree to negotiate peace with the Russian Empire under the mediation of the Austrian Empire!"
Jerome Bonaparte knew that this so-called peace negotiation was nothing more than a method used by the Kingdom of Britain to force the Austrian Empire to stand in line!
Just like Jérôme Bonaparte used force to force Austria to stand in line, the British Kingdom prefers to force the Austrian Empire into a corner by shady means.
Not long after De Ruiz left the Tuileries Palace and returned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a letter from the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs arrived at No. 10 Downing Street on the 25th.
Palmerston, who received the official reply from the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, carefully checked the contents of the letter, and said to himself with a slightly disappointed expression: "It seems that France has been intimidated by the huge depth of the Russian Empire! However, this way Alright!"
After speaking, Prime Minister Palmerston called his own. The Secretary ordered the Secretary to hand over the Earl of Clarendon, the Foreign Secretary.
After the arrival of the Earl of Clarendon, Palmerston immediately ordered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to start negotiations with Russia.
The foreign secretary, Count Clarendon, who received the order and returned to the Foreign Office, telegraphed to the British ambassador in Vienna, ordering him to press the Austrian Empire as soon as possible to facilitate negotiations with the Russian Empire.
After reading the telegram, the British ambassador immediately set off for a brief meeting with the Austrian foreign minister, Count Bauer, at Schönbrunn Palace.
During the meeting, the British ambassador reiterated the British kingdom's yearning for peace, and at the same time implied that the Russian Empire's presence in the Danube region was not only a harm to the European continent, but also to the Austrian Empire.
So the Kingdom of Britain hopes to drive the Russian Empire out of the Danube Valley with the help of the Austrian Empire.
In return, the Kingdom of Britain will acquiesce to the Austrian Empire's control over the Danube Duchy.
Count Bower, who received Britain's reply, was a little moved, but he had not made up his mind to abandon the Russian Empire.
It wasn't until Richard Metternich's letter that Count Bauer immediately realized that this was the deadline for Britain and France to give Austria.
Count Bauer could only rush to the home of Prince Metternich and told Prince Metternich about the ultimatum issued by Britain and France to the Austrian Empire.
"It now seems that the Austrian Empire has reached the point where it has to choose a camp!" Prince Metternich said in a flat tone but with a hint of resentment.
Since he traveled to the French Empire and facilitated the sincere cooperation between France and Austria on the Russian Empire, the diplomacy of the Austrian Empire has been in circles.
The pro-Western faction and the neutral faction are in a quarrel, and their monarch Franz Joseph and he and the stupid minister Count Bauer are also not strong-willed people.
The destructive power of a minister who is not determined to cooperate with a monarch who is also not determined is very fatal to a country.
Thinking of this, Prince Metternich sighed inwardly.
He could only hope that after Austria joined the British and French camps, Britain and France would forget what the Austrian Empire had done before, and stand on the same front as the Austrian Empire against the Russian Empire.
As for the option of joining the Russian Empire, Prince Metternich is not at all in the scope of his consideration.
The Russian Empire's obsession with territorial expansion destined the Austrian Empire and the Russian Empire to face a conflict.
It's just that this conflict came a little early.
"Let's go! Let's go to persuade Your Majesty together!" Prince Metternich stood up and said to Count Bauer.
…
On March 30, there was only one day left before the military exchange meeting that Jerome Bonaparte said.
Richard Metternich once again came to Jerome Bonaparte to report the latest situation of the Austrian Empire to Jerome Bonaparte.
"Your Majesty, our country is willing to act as a bridge between Britain, France and Russia, and do our best to maintain peace and stability in the Danube region!"

De Ruiz responded to Jerome Bonaparte."As for the matter of inviting the Austrian Empire to participate in the war against Russia! another matter Jerome Bonaparte pondered for a while, then said, "You say that the French Empire agrees in principle with the British Kingdom's Proposal, agree to negotiate peace with the Russian Empire under the mediation of the Austrian Empire!"Jerome Bonaparte knew that this so-called peace negotiation was nothing more than a method used by the Kingdom of Britain to force the Austrian Empire to stand in line!Just like Jrme Bonaparte used force to force Austria to stand in line, the British Kingdom prefers to force the Austrian Empire into a corner by shady means.Not long after De Ruiz left the Tuileries Palace and returned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a letter from the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs arrived at No. 10 Downing Street on the 25th.Palmerston, who received the official reply from the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, carefully checked the contents of the letter, and said to himself with a slightly disappointed expression: "It seems that France has been intimidated by the huge depth of the Russian Empire! However, this way Alright!"After speaking, Prime Minister Palmerston called his own. The Secretary ordered the Secretary to hand over the Earl of Clarendon, the Foreign Secretary.After the arrival of the Earl of Clarendon, Palmerston immediately ordered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to start negotiations with Russia.The foreign secretary, Count Clarendon, who received the order and returned to the Foreign Office, telegraphed to the British ambassador in Vienna, ordering him to press the Austrian Empire as soon as possible to facilitate negotiations with the Russian Empire.After reading the telegram, the British ambassador immediately set off for a brief meeting with the Austrian foreign minister, Count Bauer, at Schnbrunn Palace.During the meeting, the British ambassador reiterated the British kingdom's yearning for peace, and at the same time implied that the Russian Empire's presence in the Danube region was not only a harm to the European continent, but also to the Austrian Empire.So the Kingdom of Britain hopes to drive the Russian Empire out of the Danube Valley with the help of the Austrian Empire.In return, the Kingdom of Britain will acquiesce to the Austrian Empire's control over the Danube Duchy.Count Bower, who received Britain's reply, was a little moved, but he had not made up his mind to abandon the Russian Empire.It wasn't until Richard Metternich's letter that Count Bauer immediately realized that this was the deadline for Britain and France to give Austria.Count Bauer could only rush to the home of Prince Metternich and told Prince Metternich about the ultimatum issued by Britain and France to the Austrian Empire."It now seems that the Austrian Empire has reached the point where it has to choose a camp!" Prince Metternich said in a flat tone but with a hint of resentment.Since he traveled to the French Empire and facilitated the sincere cooperation between France and Austria on the Russian Empire, the diplomacy of the Austrian Empire has been in circles.The pro-Western faction and the neutral faction are in a quarrel, and their monarch Franz Joseph and he and the stupid minister Count Bauer are also not strong-willed people.The destructive power of a minister who is not determined to cooperate with a monarch who is also not determined is very fatal to a country.Thinking of this, Prince Metternich sighed inwardly.He could only hope that after Austria joined the British and French camps, Britain and France would forget what the Austrian Empire had done before, and stand on the same front as the Austrian Empire against the Russian Empire.As for the option of joining the Russian Empire, Prince Metternich is not at all in the scope of his consideration.The Russian Empire's obsession with territorial expansion destined the Austrian Empire and the Russian Empire to face a conflict.It's just that this conflict came a little early."Let's go! Let's go to persuade Your Majesty together!" Prince Metternich stood up and said to Count Bauer.On March 30, there was only one day left before the military exchange meeting that Jerome Bonaparte said.Richard Metternich once again came to Jerome Bonaparte to report the latest situation of the Austrian Empire to Jerome Bonaparte."Your Majesty, our country is willing to act as a bridge between Britain, France and Russia, and do our best to maintain peace and stability in the Danube region!"https://Genius remembers the address of this site in one second: .
