Chapter five hundred and fiftieth chapters prepare for arch fire
"Mr. Argoux, if it were you, how would you choose?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked Count Argoux calmly.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can't answer your answer!" A moment later, Count Argu replied to Jérôme Bonaparte: "I can't use the thinking of a mediocre person to guess the thinking of a great man!"
"A great man?" Jerome Bonaparte showed a self-deprecating smile. This so-called "great man" just took advantage of the "prophet" and observed the world with a thinking that was nearly two hundred years ahead of this era.
.
Putting aside his vision of more than a hundred years, Jérôme Bonaparte believed that his talent and level were far inferior to those of his late cousin, and even inferior to the original owner of this body.
However, the most precious thing he possesses is the knowledge and vision that transcends this world for more than a hundred years.
Over the past 100 years, predecessors have experimented with their lives on all possible failures under the conditions of past productivity, and all solutions have been written down one by one (Keynesianism).
Although these solutions cannot solve the problem forever, they can alleviate the problem.
Jerome Bonaparte living in this era is like a fly lying at the mouth of a well, although frogs (such as Bismarck, Cavour, Metternich, Thiers) only need to stick out their tongues to kill him.
He killed him, but he was able to see the sky that frogs could not see in this era.
It was precisely by virtue of his ability to see the "sky" clearly that Jérôme Bonaparte was able to package himself into a determined "great man".
"I'm not a so-called great man at all, I'm just a gambler!" Jerome Bonaparte said in a calm tone, "I put everything I have on this war!"
"This is a great man!" Count Argoux responded to Jérôme Bonaparte: "The same was true for His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Okay! Stop complimenting me!" Jerome Bonaparte smiled and shook his head.
"That's not a compliment! I'm just telling the truth!" Count Argoux responded to Jérôme Bonaparte.
"Then I will be shameless and accept your compliments."
…
Jerome Bonaparte and Count Argoux chatted for a long time, until the appearance of the steward brought the conversation to an abrupt end.
"Your Majesty, sir! Dinner is ready!" the steward said respectfully to Jérôme Bonaparte and Count Argoux.
"So fast!" Jerome Bonaparte said in surprise.
"Your Majesty, look out the window!" Count Argu said to Jérôme Bonaparte, pointing out the window.
Jérôme Bonaparte subconsciously glanced outside the window, which was already pitch black.
"What time is it now!" Jérôme Bonaparte asked the steward.
"Your Majesty, it's already seven o'clock in the evening!" the steward replied quickly.
"Time flies so fast!" Jérôme Bonaparte couldn't help but sigh.
Later, led by the steward, Jerome Bonaparte and Count Argu went to the restaurant together.
After a delicious meal, Count Argoux ordered his steward to take Jerome Bonaparte back to the Tuileries Palace.
"No need!" Jérôme Bonaparte waved his hand and rejected Count Argu.
"Your Majesty, it's not safe in Paris at night! It's dangerous to go back alone, so let my butler take you back!" Count Argoux pleaded to Jérôme Bonaparte.
"Who said I would go back alone!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Count Argu, while taking out his pocket watch and looking at the time.
It is already 8:40, and there are still 20 minutes left before the time he and Mokar agreed.
"In 20 minutes, someone will come to pick me up!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Count Argu.
"That's good!" Count Argu breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to see any accidents happen to the emperor on his way back.
The time soon came to nine o'clock, and the carriage from the Tuileries Palace appeared at the gate of the Count of Argoux's residence on time.
Mokar, the royal steward, got off the carriage and went straight into Count Argu's mansion to take Jerome Bonaparte home.
…
Early the next morning.
News of the resignation of Count Argoux, president of the Bank of France, appeared in major newspapers in Paris. Paris citizens who were originally indifferent to the Bank of France were surprised to find that the resigned Count Argoux had been in charge of the Bank for nearly twenty years, so they speculated one after another.
Why did Count Argoux leave the Bank of France?
Could it be that Count Argu resigned because of his age, as the newspaper said?
At the same time, affected by the change of president of the Bank of France, the Paris Stock Exchange fell by 2% as soon as it opened, and fell to 3.56% in the mid-term.
Fortunately, under the guidance of an invisible hand, the Paris Stock Exchange's stock market only fell 1.2% at the close.
When Finance Minister Mane reported the closing data to Jerome Bonaparte, Jerome Bonaparte nodded and said: "Now it seems that the stock exchange can still accept the change of the Bank of France!"
"Yes!" Minister Magnet responded to Jérôme Bonaparte.
To be honest, the 2% drop at the opening of the market today really made Magne sweat.
"Okay! Thank you for your hard work!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded to Magnet.
"This is what I should do!" Magnet said respectfully to Jerome Bonaparte, and then left Jerome Bonaparte's study.
With Magnet's departure, only Jérôme Bonaparte was left alone in the study correcting documents.
After a while, Mokar's voice appeared outside the door: "Your Majesty, General Niel wants to see you!"
"Nière? What is he doing here?" Jérôme Bonaparte was stunned for a few seconds, and then responded to Mokar outside the door: "Let him come in!"
"Yes!" Mokar responded quickly.
The door opened, and Nielder's figure appeared at the door.
And he was holding a telegram in his hand: "Your Majesty!"
"Well! Sit down!" Jérôme Bonaparte stretched out his hand to invite Niel to sit down.
Niel, who was sitting opposite Jerome Bonaparte, quickly placed the telegram in front of Jerome Bonaparte and said: "Your Majesty, this is from the end of the Battle of Alma to the occupation of Sevastopol.
The whole process!”
Jérôme Bonaparte took the telegram from Niel and carefully read the contents of the telegram.
Judging from the content of the telegram, the coalition forces occupied Sevastopol before the defense system of Sevastopol was fully constructed. It can be said that the Sevastopol defenders were caught off guard.
However, even if the coalition forces used "tricks" to capture Sevastopol, it is enough to prove that the combat effectiveness of the coalition forces - or the French army has far exceeded that of the Russian Imperial Army.
And all this is inseparable from General Niel opposite Jérôme Bonaparte and General Pelissier far away in the Crimean Peninsula.
If Niel had not re-established military depots and changed the recruitment years, the combat effectiveness of the French army would not have been significantly improved.
It is important for the army to have advanced weapons, but the logistics system and the quality of the soldiers are more important than advanced weapons.
After all, it is people who use weapons.
The same weapon will produce different effects when used in the hands of different people.
Just like the baked buns and earthworkers in later generations, the roasted buns have more advanced mechanics than the earthworkers (ps: since the end of the Hundred Regiments War, the earthworkers' army has never conducted large-scale group operations. Many troops are based on regiments. The units carried out guerrilla warfare in the rear. Therefore, in the early days of the Liberation War, due to the lack of experience in group army operations, various departments were suppressed by the five main forces. The Shandong People's Liberation Army once only had a few scattered cities left), but in the end it was still the earthworks Won the victory.
The logistics system and the quality of the soldiers allowed Geotechnical Engineering to defeat the Baked Buns.
After being reorganized by Niel, the French army became more nationalistic and fanatical (although their nationalism was a castrated version modified by Jérôme Bonaparte).
The combat effectiveness is also higher than before.
Of course, General Pelissier's contribution is also indispensable.
If General Pelissier had not immediately issued an order to attack the Sevastopol Fortress, then Sevastopol would probably have developed along the historical direction.
The coalition forces needed to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to break it, and during this period they endured the impact of many factors such as severe cold weather and logistical difficulties.
Nowadays, the coalition troops no longer have to endure the severe cold weather in history and can comfortably enjoy the convenience brought by Sevastopol.
The Russian Empire may have to play the role of a historical coalition. Jerome Bonaparte had reason to believe that Nicholas I would ask Menshikov to attack Sevastopol at all costs.
It's just that the Russian Imperial Army after the role change does not have the same logistics as the coalition forces, and the difficulties they face are many times more difficult than those of the coalition forces.
I am afraid that the casualties faced by the Russian Empire this time are more serious than those in history!
Thinking of this, Jerome Bonaparte couldn't help but gloated.
No! I have to make trouble for Nicholas I and make him lose face. Only in this way will he fight against the Sevastopol Fortress.
A sinister smile appeared on Jerome Bonaparte's face, and a sinister plan continued to take shape in Jerome Bonaparte's heart.
General Niel, who was sitting opposite Jérôme Bonaparte, saw Jerome Bonaparte's expression and also murmured in his heart: "Your Majesty, what are you thinking about?"
