Chapter 133, Comprehensive Strategic Partnership

Back at his lodgings, Joseph began to think about what documents to give Fanny to deal with. Classified documents are definitely not allowed to be given to her, that would hurt her, but non-classified documents, well, it seems that Joseph really doesn't have them here.

After thinking about it for a while, Joseph finally came up with something - the workbook he had prepared for Napoleon, Lucien, and Louis. These exercises, for different ages, different levels of bear children, have a very good educational effect and deterrence, if they are sorted out well, in the future there will be a "Joseph Math Practice Problem Book", used to benefit the society, isn't it good?

So Joseph found out the math problems that Lucien and Louis had left in Paris, and which they had done before. Plus Kano there should be some there too. Taken together, it should be enough. As for the future, Napoleon Lucien Louis came to his side, are you still afraid? Well, that's it, and when I go back, I will strengthen the cultivation of these bear children.

Joseph and Fanny made an appointment to visit Armand in a cemetery on the outskirts of the city. In 1876, for reasons of hygiene, Paris banned the establishment of graves in the city for the burial of human remains. As a result, numerous cemeteries began to appear on the outskirts of the city. Later, these cemeteries gradually joined together and became the three major cemeteries in Paris.

Armand's body was returned and buried in a cemetery in the Montmartre area, where it took a long time to get there. When Armand was buried, it took Fanny a lot of time to come up with a way to hide from her family and attend Armand's funeral.

It's probably not a good idea to go to that kind of place and bring a lot of exercises. Joseph felt that it would be better to entrust these things to her when it was time to leave. As for the time in between, it's just the right time to take a break.

However, Joseph was not able to take a break. Because just as he was thinking this, there was a knock at the door.

"Who?" Joseph asked.

"Monsieur Bonaparte, it's me, Fouché." Outside the door came the voice of Fusse.

Joseph opened the door and saw Fouché standing outside, carrying a bag in his hand, because he was walking hot on the road, and his face was full of Han water.

"Please come in, Mr. Fouché." Joseph invited him in and poured him a large glass of water.

"Thanks, I'm thirsty." Fouché took the water cup, drank it dry in one go, and handed the water cup over and said, "Is there anything else?" Give me another drink. ”

Joseph poured him another glass of water: "Mr. Fouché, you have come to me now, is there anything you can do?" ”

Fouché took the cup and drank it dry in another gulp. He touched his mouth and said, "I've solved the two things you handed over to me. ”

As he spoke, Fouché took out a stack of papers from his black leather bag: "This is the list of people I found, and all but a few of them have accepted the terms you offered. ”

Joseph frowned slightly: "What is the reason for them?" ”

"There are a few, like Gaston Dominique, because they are not in good health. In addition, Edmund was reluctant to do such a tiring job because he had become rich. What is really noteworthy is the three men of François Henriotto, who left Paris and whose whereabouts are unknown, although there are indications that they all had contact with some members of the royal party before they left Paris. ”

"Hehe, even the royal party is more far-sighted than some guys in our government." Joseph couldn't help but sarcastically.

"I've contacted the rest of the people so far, and I've signed new contracts with them as authorized by you." Fouché continued.

"Thank you, Mr. Fouché, for your help." Joseph.

"In addition, the matter about the privatization of the Naval Institute is no longer a problem. Hmm......" Fouché said, taking out a document and handing it to Joseph, "you sign it, and the Naval Institute will sell it to you." ”

"So fast?" Joseph was taken aback, he took the document and looked at it a little, "Why is the total price 200,000 livres, so don't you earn a livre?" ”

"The price on the document was paid with a finger coupon." Fouché smiled.

After killing the Guillotine Great Demon King, the finger coupons were completely out of control, and now one livrel silver coin can be exchanged for at least twenty livr finger coupons.

"Sold so cheaply?" Joseph was taken aback.

"For this purpose, Mr. Barras took another 120,000 livres from me. Of course, this money is not his only spare. Foucher replied. Needless to explain, Joseph also knew that the 120,000 that Barras had taken was by no means a coupon.

"Very good, thank you for your help. Then we're left with one last thing. Joseph looked at Foucher and said, "Now, can you tell me your choice?" ”

"Mr. Bonaparte, according to our previous agreement, I should receive seventy thousand livres of silver, plus two thousand livres of my commission, and the amount I saved when I negotiated the wages with those gentlemen, one thousand two hundred and fifteen livres. I should be able to get seventy-three thousand two hundred and fifteen livres from you. If I invest 73,000 lifoles of that as an investment, how many shares should I have? ”

The two of them began to study the matter of shares. Rise Fouché has much better words than Lavoisier in this matter. The two men soon reached broad agreement on the issue. Joseph felt that the two sides should soon reach a comprehensive strategic partnership, but at this time, Fouché suddenly asked: "Monsieur Bonaparte, what do you think of the current political situation?" ”

Joseph knew that Fouché was different from Lavoisier, and that Fouché valued political status more than money. Still, he asked, "Mr. Foucher, why are you asking me this question?" ”

"Monsieur Bonaparte, I have been helping you deal with these things lately, and I have also made a point of learning about your various actions over the past few years." Foucher replied, "You've been very cautious in your actions over the years. But now, you're suddenly so much bolder that I'd like to know what you think. ”

"Monsieur Fouché, the chaos in France is evident under the current government." Joseph, "For a regime to exist, it must have its support." Who is behind them in today's government? ”

"Who?"

"People who have made a lot of money, and they want to make more big money. But do these people really fully believe those who have been Jacobins and cheered Robespierre? Joseph smiled, "So, in order to get these supports, not only do they have to guarantee these benefits in terms of policy, but they also have to let those who are truly trusted enter the government and occupy important positions." Who do those people trust the most now? ”

"Brissotes." Fouché.

"Not only the Brissotes, but even the Fjändians, and even as a reaction against the Jacobins, and above all a general distrust of a strong government, the result of which will inevitably be the royal party. These decent people. And the Brissotes, the Fjënists, who simply don't trust the giants of today. Moreover, because of the liberalization of the market, as well as the rejection of the Jacobins, it will certainly have all kinds of adverse effects on the combat effectiveness of the army. Therefore, for some time to come, the situation in France will definitely be a constant military defeat, and even one or two occasional flashbacks will not change the basic situation. Politically, the country will be in turmoil and rebellions will be frequent. ”

At this point, Joseph stopped. He looked at Fouché, and then: "At this time, those decent people will find that the present weak government is also unable to guarantee their interests." Then they need a strong government that can really protect their interests, and even serve them. At this time, it is the real opportunity. ”

Foucher listened and laughed: "Robespierre was very worried that the continuous war would lead to the appearance of military poison. But now it seems that the trend is irreversible, isn't it? Your brother is a very good general, and you, too, are a very good person. And because of financial difficulties, the army is starting to go hungry, isn't this an opportunity to privatize the national army? Well, I hope we have a good cooperation in the future. ”

As a result, the two successfully reached a comprehensive strategic cooperative relationship.

"Monsieur Bonaparte, I remember that you wanted me to help you with matters of security and confidentiality. I studied the secrecy regulations of the 'Military Research Institute' in the past, and that regulations were actually very perfect. Of course, it is too expensive to implement. I've simplified the plan a little bit on the original basis. If you follow suit, it should be enough. You also gave me another task, which is to keep an eye on other manufacturers, and for that I need to stay in Paris. Moreover, our real business also needs to have someone in Paris, and Mr. Cano can deal with some military things, but I think it is better for me to do many things. ”

"Yours have a point." Joseph, "Well, you'll stay in Paris for now, and take care of intelligence and stuff like that." If you need anything, just ask me directly. You can write to me while I am away, or you can go directly to General Kano. ”

"Alright, that's it." Fouché stood up, ready to take his leave.

"Ah, Mr. Fouché, there is another person in my absence, please take care of it for me." Joseph.

"Who?"

"Armand's sister, Sister Fanny." Joseph.
