Chapter 195 We are all patriots

"Your Majesty, I believe that Mr. James Rothschild must be eager to relieve the country's worries! There is a traitor in their family, and of course they will have to pay a certain price for it!"

Count Argu's words reveal a gloating attitude. For a "patriot", he is weakening the influence of Rothschild Bank in France and expanding France's "mainland" (Count Argu is actually a Jewish man.

The banker was expelled as a Jew by himself in disguise just because he believed in it) The banker's power is the inherent responsibility of a responsible president of the Bank of France.

Of course, some "bumps and bumps" were inevitable during the process of weakening Rothschild Bank. For example, the Northern Railway Company under the control of Baron James Rothschild was massively shorted, which resulted in tens of thousands of middle class people being forced to live in poverty.

Selling stocks at low prices... But in general, Count Algo is still an enthusiastic patriot and works hard to maintain the "independence" of the French banking industry. These are necessary prices.

In Count Argu's view, a "real" nationalist must have the determination to rather be exploited by his own bankers than to be exploited by foreign forces.

Otherwise, you cannot be considered a true nationalist.

"You have to pay the price for doing something wrong. This is an eternal truth!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded empathetically. He responded righteously: "The French government cannot wrongly accuse any good person, nor can it let anyone go."

than any bad guy!"

"I believe that under the leadership of His Majesty, the French government will reach a new peak! It will sweep away the decadence brought to France by the two generations of Bourbon dynasty." Count Argu also touted vigorously.

Jérôme Bonaparte's martial law actions and the inaction of the Legislative Assembly made Count Argoux see through the weakness of the Legislative Assembly.

A weak legislative assembly is indeed conducive to the Bank of France's decision-making, but the expansion of capital is inseparable from an iron-blooded ruler.

At present, France's capital is already saturated. With nowhere to release it, they are in urgent need of capital for external expansion. However, the shackles brought by the Holy Alliance not only restrict France, but also restrict them. Whenever they want to expand capital, the local

All the forces will come up with a copy of the so-called "Holy Alliance Program" and chant it.

It can be said that in France, except for a few international bankers like Rothschild, who have banks all over Europe, the strength of other French banks is all under attack from the local forces of enemy countries.

The Bank of France needs a political strongman who must use a strong stance to break the constraints imposed by the Holy Alliance on France so that French capital can expand unscrupulously.

After weighing the pros and cons, the Bank of France, represented by the Count of Argoux, naturally supported President Jérôme Bonaparte.

Compared with a cheap bullet, not allowing capital enough room for expansion is the most uncomfortable thing for banks in France.

The banker forces represented by the Count of Argoux wish that Jérôme Bonaparte would be crowned now, and they could even create the phenomenon that "the people of Paris do not miss the French Empire."

Although this phenomenon is common in rural France, the people of Paris who are committed to anti-imperialism and anti-feudalism are not overly enthusiastic about the imperial system. Of course, it is impossible for them to sacrifice themselves for anti-imperialism and anti-feudalism.

The most revolutionary working class has been defeated by them, so how can those petty bourgeoisie achieve great things?

"Count Argoux, I hope you can go to the detention center on my behalf!" Jerome Bonaparte gave the order to Count Argoux.

The Count of Argoux obviously understood what Jérôme Bonaparte meant, not just to use him as a sounding board to get James Rothschild to agree to the president's conditions.

"It is my duty to serve France!" Count Argou also said to Jérôme Bonaparte in an official tone.

"By the way, there is this!" Jérôme Bonaparte took out a letter from the drawer and handed it to Count Argoux: "Please give this to Mr. James Rothschild, Baron, and tell him that France

Proposals are under way to form a “Liberal Alliance” with Britain!”

Libertarian alliance? The president wants to... If that's the case, that's so...

Count Algu instantly thought from the Free Alliance that the president might take action against the Russian Empire.

When he thought that the shackles of Leder brought to France by the Holy Alliance would collapse because of France's declaration of war on the Russian Empire, Count Argoux felt unprecedented relief, and even the air became particularly fresh.

This refreshing feeling only lasted for a short period of time. Count Argu thought of His Majesty the Emperor's failure in Moscow. France could not afford another failure.

Count Argu took a look at the envelope. There was no name on the envelope, so he had no idea who the letter was from.

Count Argu, who took the letter into his arms, asked worriedly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for asking! Will your alliance with the British Kingdom take action against the empire in the east?"

The Eastern Empire mentioned by Count Argu of course refers to the Russian Empire.

"Yes and no!" Jerome Bonaparte said ambiguous words.

"Huh?" Count Argoux looked at Jérôme Bonaparte in confusion.

"I will not launch any war in the next few years. The alliance with the Kingdom of Britain is only to allow us to use the power of Britain to do something!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Count Argoux.

The alliance with Britain is just a temporary measure. At this stage, neither France nor Britain has the determination to fight a war with the Russian Empire. The Austrian Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia, the fateful enemies, have also not completely broken with the Russian Empire.

Maintaining domestic stability with the prestige of alliance is the most important thing.

As for whether to reach a consensus with Britain on the issue of the Russian Empire, we can only look at the subsequent international situation.

"That couldn't be better!" Count Argou also said flatteringly.

"By the way! Mr. Count, I wonder what you think of the gold mines in California?" Jérôme Bonaparte talked about the gold mines in California to Count Argou in casual language.

"A superb deception!" Count Argoux immediately responded to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Huh?" Jérôme Bonaparte, who heard the word "scam" from Count Argu, looked at the banker with interest.

"Your Majesty, in fact, there are not as many gold mines in California as reported! Some people took this opportunity to turn it into a gold house, as if you can pick up a piece of gold just by raising your legs." Count Alguer said.

Explained to Jérôme Bonaparte.

In fact, as early as the first report of the discovery of gold in California, Count Alguer sent a survey team to California to conduct surveys.

The result obtained by the exploration team is that there is indeed gold in California, but it is far less than reported.

Count Algu instantly thought that this was a scam. He maintained a cautious medieval financial outlook and gave up the idea instantly. In his opinion, it was just a ridiculous scam.

"Monsieur Count! Perhaps your judgment is wrong?" Jérôme Bonaparte responded to Count Argoux with a smile.

"Your Majesty, are you..." Count Argu looked at Jérôme Bonaparte in surprise.

Could it be that the president also sent people to California for survey?

Jérôme Bonaparte, still smiling, took out a letter and pushed it in front of Count Argu: "Open it and take a look!"

Count Algo opened the letter carefully. The content of the letter was that they had discovered gold mines in California and were setting up a mining company.

The name on the letterhead is Jérôme Parsons.

Jérôme Bonaparte explained to Count Argu: "In March last year, I sent a survey team to California to survey for gold! Unexpectedly, they actually surveyed a gold mine!"

"Ah!" Count Argu felt a little ashamed, because he had just vowed to assure the president that it was a scam.

As a result, the president discovered a gold mine in the blink of an eye.

The Count of Argoux did not know that going to California to explore gold mines was an idle move made by Jérôme Bonaparte in early 1848.

Jerome Bonaparte once saw a set of data. In 1845, the total amount of gold in the world was 1.6 million ounces, more than half of which came from the Russian Empire. By 1855, the total amount of gold in the world was 6.4 million ounces.

Half of the gold comes from California and the other half from Australia.

Based on the desire for money and power, going to California to prospect for gold became a must.

Only by ensuring that France has sufficient gold can we help our cousin stabilize France when necessary.

Only when their cousin's throne is stable can they be stable.

So he persuaded his sister Mathilde and his father, Prince Jérôme Sr., to induce Jérôme Sr. to invest 100,000 francs in his survey team on the condition of promising Jerome Parsons, and added Mathilde

With the 200,000 francs given by Germany, he established a survey team, and at the same time asked his father to give his grandson, Jérôme Bonaparte's nephew Jérôme Parsons, who had never met in the United States, the job.

Leader of the survey team.

With the death of his cousin from cholera, he had to take on the unfinished business of his cousin, and the affairs of the survey team were forgotten by Jérôme Bonaparte.

It was not until recently that a letter was delivered across the ocean to Jerome Bonaparte that Jerome Bonaparte remembered that he seemed to have had a survey team.

The gold mine survey team lived up to expectations and discovered a gold mine under the leadership of Jérôme Parsons.

Now they have blocked it and hired American cowboys to block it, and established a mining company. They can only mine it after further injection of funds. From the letter, the output of this gold mine is definitely not low.
