The second more

While Angelica Carrot and Napoleon were haggling at the Tuileries Palace, Mira and Rothschild argued over whether they should withdraw from Paris, and Mira decided that the situation was precarious and that they had to leave, abandon the Banque de France, and return at the end of the war.

An argument between two people came from the small room.

"It is impossible to move 3 billion worth of assets in a short time, and have you ever thought that once the Prussian army breaks through Paris, we will lose everything. Three billion in huge assets, have you ever wondered what will happen if we lose the Banque de France? ”

"Are you going to die for these three billion francs?"

Mira questioned the other party, "It's come to this point, is it money or your life that matters?" ”

"What if Prussia can't get in?"

Rothschild still had a glimmer of illusion about Paris, and despite the rumours now circulating that the Wehrmacht could no longer resist, he still hoped to hold on to Paris and his assets. The Banque de France has a total of 15,000 shareholders, and their forces are divided into two factions, one in favor of the voluntary withdrawal from Paris, and the other in favor of holding on in Paris. However, they did not have the right to vote, so the future of France fell to the Gault bankers.

"When we are here, we try to take as much of our assets as possible in order to reduce losses. If you don't want to evacuate, you can stay and fight, and it's none of my business what happens in the end. But don't forget, if you don't evacuate in time and die in the war, your ownership issues will be the same as those of Hottinger. ”

What Milla means is that the end of the die-hards, represented by Rothschild, may be as Napoleon suggests, and after the death of the shareholders, the government will take over a significant part of the shares of the Banque de France, becoming the deservedly largest shareholder.

Rothschild was silent, he could lose his life, but definitely not his shares. It is even more impossible for Napoleon to take control of the bank, the Banque de France is the brainchild of his father, who took nearly 60 years to control the lifeblood of the continent's largest economic power.

The bloodsuckers possessed by France will not give up control of the country's economic lifeline until they knock the bone and suck the marrow dry.

"Well, I agree with your request."

Eventually, Rothschild succumbed to reality, and was horrified at the thought of the cold and greedy eyes of the Tuileries Palace looking at the shares in his hands.

Just when the French bankers thought they could live peacefully with Napoleon, they had already launched their own plans to seize power.

The economic lifeblood of the country was not in the hands of a bunch of capitalists, but in the hands of Napoleon's government.

But he didn't expect Guerome to make such an excessive plea in private, so he almost didn't shout "I have shed blood for Paris, I have made meritorious contributions to the republican form of government, you can't do this to me, I want to see the interim president!" ”

Guerome thought that his request would be difficult for Napoleon to accept, so he was ready to use the interests of the Banque de France to force the other party to submit, but the Gault bankers did not know that their every move had been planned by Napoleon.

He thought that Napoleon did not know anything, in fact he knew everything well. The Banque de France had 77,000,000,000 francs, 166,000,000,000,000 francs in bank notes, 120,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,0

If the historical Paris Commune had taken control of the banks, would it have lost the war?

Whoever controls the Banque de France is the same as who controls the discourse in France!

He had been waiting for Guerome's sentence.

Napoleon could not have an obvious purpose and offered to escort them, but through various subtle means, the desperate Gault bankers automatically surrendered to Napoleon.

"I'm not saying that you can't allocate a part of the army to you, but it's about the whole of France. Now there is a shortage of manpower in the city, and most of the young and middle-aged people have been transferred to the front, as well as supporting the defensive structures in the city of Paris and transporting ammunition to the front line......"

Guérome, tired of these clichés, said bluntly, "Make your terms, Your Excellency Napoleon." There is no problem, it cannot be solved with money, the Bank of France has already provided for almost half a year of military spending, and we can provide it for another year. ”

Napoleon tentatively asked, "What about the equity of the Hottinger family?" ”

However, when it comes to fundamental interests, Guelrome's attitude has become extremely tough, and he said coldly, "There is no room for negotiation on this issue, even if the Hottinger family is dead, it will still be handled in accordance with the regulations of the Banque de France, and the government cannot arbitrarily confiscate their shares and let the government become one of the shareholders of the Banque de France." ”

Napoleon's last friendly attitude towards a peaceful settlement of the government's finances had also been shattered, and if it were not for fear of a mutiny in the army, he would now have taken out a pistol from a drawer and made a hole in the head.

"Huh."

Napoleon laughed dryly twice and waved his hand to show that he was not in the mood to talk about it here.

"I'll leave that for later, and if you're willing to provide a year's worth of military expenses, then I can send a force of a thousand men and withdraw to the Loire under the cover of the French armies on the right and left. What about my proposal? ”

Napoleon repeated, "A thousand men is already the limit, we can't come up with more, otherwise the French army will not be able to help." ”

"A year and a half."

Guerome gritted his teeth and continued, "And the Banque de France will strongly support the Provisional Government, as long as it can send us out." I need a team of 2,000 men to protect our assets. ”

"Fifteen hundred."

Napoleon continued to bargain, "One thousand and a half is already the limit, they will escort you safely to Tours." After that, please ask for more blessings for yourself. ”

Guerom gritted his teeth, hesitantly ready to tell something unspeakable.

"There are still ...... in the Banque de France"

Before he could finish the word bar, Napoleon interrupted him directly, and the other party showed a mysterious smile like the Mona Lisa in the Louvre, which made Guerome's scalp tingle and a sense of foreboding welled up in his heart.

"I will take good care of the gold bars in the basement, and unless the Prussian army invades the city and occupies the Banque de France, there will be no gold bars missing."

And what he did not say was that sooner or later these things belonged to the government of Paris, and no longer belonged to the private capitalists of the banks.
