Chapter 386： French industrial mobilization
Jerome Bonaparte, who smelled war in the telegram, immediately decided to hold a cabinet meeting to "discuss" the countermeasures.
Of course, rather than discussing countermeasures, it is more about asking about the readiness of the French army and the timing of its entry into the Near East.
Although it is said that the Crimea began in about October in history, and the official confrontation between the French imperial army and the Russian imperial army was in 1854, there is no guarantee that the Russian Empire will launch a war in advance.
Judging from the intelligence of the Foreign War Bureau of the National Intelligence Service, Paskevich of the Russian Empire has been consciously carrying out conscious propaganda to Montenegro, Serbia, and Bulgaria, calling on them to rise up and overthrow the Ottoman Empire.
And the group of waste spies under the sultan of the Ottoman Empire couldn't see Paskevich's small movements at all.
Of course, there is another possibility that they did not dare to tell the Sudan the news.
In short, the entire Balkan region has been completely turned into a powder keg. As long as the tsar decides to act, the rebels lurking in the soil of the Ottoman Empire will rise up.
Although this group of rebels may not have beaten the regular army of the Ottoman Empire, they are still fully capable of harassing the Ottoman Empire.
Jerome Bonaparte was a little worried that the Russian Empire would split into two groups, piercing through Bulgaria like a broken bamboo, and the navy logging in to occupy Constantinople.
In this case, the French Empire may fall into a passive situation, which will cause them to die more people.
Everyone is France's most valuable human resource.
As soon as he said it, Jerome Bonaparte immediately called Mocard and ordered him to send the Minister of State, the Minister of Finance, the Minister of War, the Minister of Justice, the Minister of the Navy, the Minister of the Interior, the Chief of the General Staff, and the Seal of the Palm. The ministers and railway ministers all called to the Tuileries Palace.
"Yes!" Mokar took the order to leave.
"Follow me!" Jerome Bonaparte led De Ruiz to the Tuileries Palace Cabinet meeting in advance.
The two people sitting on the long table quietly waited for the arrival of the minister. After about an hour, all the ministers who were called arrived at the conference room.
"Everyone, today I asked you to discuss what to do next!" Jerome Bonaparte said straight to the point without any nonsense.
Everyone present showed completely different expressions, some surprised, excited, and melancholy!
Immediately afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte handed the telegram to Morny, the first minister of seal on his left, and said, "This is a telegram from Ambassador Wallevsky from Constantinople, Please pass it on to each other!"
Morney first read the contents of the telegram, and then handed the telegram to Fuld, the Minister of State beside him.
When the telegram reached Jerome Bonaparte again, another half-quarter of an hour passed.
"Everyone, you can talk about what you think!" Jerome Bonaparte said to the ministers of various departments present.
"Your Majesty, does the breakdown of the negotiations between the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire mean that the war between the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire has begun?" Minister of State Fuld said first.
"Nicholas I is definitely not a guy who can give up! After the negotiation breaks down, he will definitely take action against the Ottoman Empire! I think you should also know that the transcendence of the Russian Empire is an opportunity for us in France, and the Kingdom of Britain, like us, will never allow it. The Russian Empire is out of bounds! They will stand with us against the Russian Empire.
So we don't have to worry about the risk of isolation as before, instead we can use this opportunity to distance ourselves from Europe and completely exclude the Russian Empire from the system. "
Although Jerome Bonaparte has repeated this sentence many times, he still repeats it over and over again.
In order to convince them that they can lead them to victory, and only then will they stand firmly with Jérôme Bonaparte.
No one wants to follow a loser who has no confidence!
Secretary of State Fuld was silent.
Seeing that all the ministers and ministers present were unwilling to speak, Jerome Bonaparte could only choose someone to ask.
"Minister Montauban, how are the number of troops and the army's guns and supplies prepared now?" Jerome Bonaparte first asked the Minister of War, Cuzanne Montauban.
Cousin Montauban immediately told Jerome Bonaparte that all the military stations along the southern route had been reorganized, and that the military stations had resumed the function of conscription. Therefore, the annual replenishment of the troops was also around 80,000, which was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. Arsenals, garment factories, and cannery factories work at the behest of their subordinate committees.
"Very good!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded to Kuzan Montauban.
Then, he turned his attention to Marshal Saint Arnault, the chief of the general staff: "How is the situation of the staff at all levels?"
"The staff of the army, division, brigade, and regiment have all been completed! You can leave at any time!" Marshal Saint Arnault replied to Jerome Bonaparte.
"Yeah!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded slightly to show his understanding, and then turned his attention to Barroche, the Minister of Railways: "Where is your Ministry of Railways?"
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Railways..." Facing Jerome Bonaparte's sudden inquiry, Baroche was a little stunned for a while, and he didn't understand what Jerome Bonaparte meant.
"The Ministry of Railways is the most important part of the war! You must cooperate with the work of the Ministry of War!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Baroche in a stern tone: "From next month, all railways must be on time Follow the plan on time! No one, including me, can change the plan without authorization! Extend the departure time of the train!
So during this time, you must be more closely connected with the military! "
A look of disappointment flashed in Baroche's eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he could only reply to Jerome Bonaparte: Yes!
"Marshal Saint Arnault, you have to negotiate with Minister Baroche! When it comes to military matters, don't be sloppy!" Roche Road.
"Understood!" Saint Arnault and Barroche responded quickly to Jerome Bonaparte.
Next, Jerome Bonaparte asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Magnet, about the financial situation of France.
Under the effect of high surtax on luxury goods, France's finances tend to be generally sound.
It's just that the financial balance is not much. If you want to start a war, it is simply impossible.
It is necessary to issue government bonds to the outside world.
In the 19th, 20th, and even 21st centuries, no capitalist country has ever waged a massive war on its own fiscal surplus.
Even a world empire like Britain has more debt than France.
The debt of 450 million pounds during the Napoleonic Wars is still around 240 million pounds.
Although Britain managed to destroy the First Empire by wielding gold pounds, it also suffered the same degree of internal injuries.
"How much will this war cost?" Jerome Bonaparte asked a silly question.
"Your Majesty! I can't predict the start of the war, and naturally I can't predict the end of the war! It all depends on your will!" Manet said to Jerome Bonaparte euphemistically.
Jérôme Bonaparte suddenly realized that predicting the amount of money needed for a war would be a foolish act, given the decisions that had begun within the war.
Although it is said that Jerome Bonaparte is confident that the Russian Empire will be completely destroyed within two years, but who knows if the Russian Empire will be more stubborn than history, and will various accidents happen in the middle? Everything is unpredictable.
At this stage, all Jerome Bonaparte can do is to issue war bonds on demand.
With the current finances of the Russian Empire, it would not be a match for France at all.
When the war is over, Jerome Bonaparte must doubly draw back from the Russian Empire.
"Let's do it! For the war bond thing, keep those bankers ready!" Jerome Bonaparte could only make them ready.
"Yes!" Magnet said respectfully to Jerome Bonaparte immediately.
Immediately afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte asked the Minister of the Admiralty about the transport ships and warships. Of course, Dicko did not live up to Jerome Bonaparte's expectations of him. All the state-owned factories under the naval department and the factories under the control of the navy all worked overtime and overtime. It is expected that the second ironclad will be launched at the end of September. .
"Don't worry about the ironclad situation! Your focus now is how to ensure the smooth flow of the sea route!" Jerome Bonaparte issued a new round of instructions to Dicko to the Minister of the Interior Pessini , Jerome Bonaparte's instructions were even simpler, that is, to strictly monitor the social celebrities who were detained in prison during the coup d'état on December 2, 1850.
Although it is said that Jerome Bonaparte had two acts of pardon (one when he was proclaimed emperor and the other when he was married), it does not mean that he should relax his monitoring of them.
In times of war, their mouths must be gagged to prevent them from talking indiscriminately.
After the meeting, the Minister of Railways Baroche once again found Jerome Bonaparte, and he revealed to Jerome Bonaparte the predicament that the Railway Ministry is currently facing.
The Ministry of Railways with huge debts may not be able to pay the extra costs of the war at the same time as paying the bonds and interest, which is likely to cause the entire Ministry of Railways to face bankruptcy.
In recent years, the bonds issued by the Ministry of Railways have at least exceeded 1 billion. Once it goes bankrupt, it will inevitably cause the entire French economy to collapse.
Jerome Bonaparte has a solution for this.
Of course, rather than discussing countermeasures, it is more about asking about the readiness of the French army and the timing of its entry into the Near East.
Although it is said that the Crimea began in about October in history, and the official confrontation between the French imperial army and the Russian imperial army was in 1854, there is no guarantee that the Russian Empire will launch a war in advance.
