Chapter 170: The Ministry of Railways and the Military Parade

Molney's words sparked a desire for money among ministers who had already bought public works bonds, hoping that their bonds would continue to rise in value.

"And ......," Molney paused, and turned his gaze to Regnio, the Minister of War.

Minister Regnio knew that it was his turn to make a move, and he also got up and placed the two documents in Jérôme. Bonaparte and Opaure's face.

Prime Minister Opaure, who had only seen half of Morni's information, saw the information that General Regnio had placed on the table, and the cover of the document reads "Railways and the Modernization of the Army".

Prime Minister Opoul put down Morni's information in his hand and turned to Regnio's information, in his mind the army was more important than the government.

Due to the relatively small content of the information, General Oppel quickly finished reading it, and Jérôme, who had already known the contents. Bonaparte also read it.

"Colleagues, we are going through a transformation!" General Regnio said passionately: "It is not anything else that has brought us this change, but the railway!" I once had a conversation with the Austrian army near Rome, and they told me that their marshal Radetzky had used the railroad to make a rapid move through Lombardy, thus crushing the sluggish Sardinian dynasty in one fell swoop! In this respect, we in France cannot be left behind, and the mobility of the railway will allow us to reach the designated position in a faster time! Such a speed is unimaginable in our time as emperor......"

On the pretext that the railroad helped the army to carry out rapid mobilization, General Regnio established a committee between the army and the railroad for in-depth exchanges, and it was best that the army and the railroad committee could send personnel to each other's departments.

Since the administrative rank of the Railway Commission could not be equated with that of the Ministry of War, the two sides were faced with the awkward problem of administrative affiliation, and a pedantic military bureaucrat who came to exchange and study was half a head higher than the head of the sub-bureau under the Commission, which created an awkward problem of who commanded whom.

"It is our fervent hope that the Railway Commission will be able to form an independent department, so that it can communicate and learn from the Ministry of War on a reciprocal basis! We are in a situation that we cannot afford to take lightly! General Regnio said in a firm tone.

After the Ministry of Public Works and the Ministry of War, the Department of Agriculture and Commerce also said that the telegraph lines were also adjusted along the railway......

Based on both monetary and strategic needs, Prime Minister Opaull finally made up his mind after thinking about it for a long time.

"Minister Morni, do you have any confidence in the establishment of the Ministry of Railways! Will he affect the entire Ministry of Public Works! Prime Minister Opoul finally asked Morni Dao.

"Mr. Prime Minister, please rest assured that there will be no problem with the cutting of the Railway Commission from the Ministry of Public Works!" Molney assured Opple.

In fact, he couldn't say whether there would be a problem, after all, the bonds raised in half a year had been tied to the interests of some people in the Ministry of Public Works, and it was impossible to expect them not to die and struggle, so he could only do his best to reduce the turmoil.

"In that case, then I agree with your proposal to cut the railroad commission!" Chancellor Opple turned his attention to Jérôme once again. Bonaparte: "Your Excellency, what do you think?" ”

"I think it's doable!" Founder of the Cutting Railway Commission Program. Bonaparte, of course, agreed with Opple.

"So who will be the new Minister of Railways?" Prime Minister Opppel's question is a matter that is coveted by ministers, and the Ministry of Railways, without the constraints of the Ministry of Public Works, will soar into the sky.

It's like a rat lying in a rice warehouse full of rice, and they only need to steal a little bit to make a lot of money.

"Whoever asks this question will be in charge!" Jérôme. Bonaparte suggested.

Jérôme. Bonaparte's words discouraged the ministers' ambitions to become the Minister of Railways.

"That's fine! Whoever proposes is responsible! Prime Minister Oppel smiled and nodded: "Minister Morni, I'm afraid you have to work for a while, the Ministry of Railways is not so easy to form!" ”

"For the sake of France, I am duty-bound!" Morni clenched his fists and said angrily.

"During this time, you will continue to hold the position of Minister of Public Works until the Ministry of Railways is fully completed!" Prime Minister Opple was quite empathetic in giving him a time frame to leave office.

"Yes! Mr. Prime Minister! Morney replied.

After the completion of the first work of the Ministry of Railways, there were no major issues worth talking about, except for the appropriations of the Ministry of Finance, the shipbuilding program of the Admiralty, and the question of the follow-up expenses of the Roman Republic from the War Department.

Or rather, Jérôme. Bonaparte did not want to bring all the issues to the table at once, which would lead to a strike by Prime Minister Opaure.

Scare!

Jérôme. Bonaparte knew that the prime minister he had appointed was nothing more than a guy who wanted to survive his term in peace, and that too much turmoil would likely cause him to back down.

At the end of the meeting, the Minister of War, Regnio, again presented a resolution to the Cabinet meeting.

"Your Excellency! I think we should strengthen the sense of honor of the military so that more people are willing to join the army! "The Minister of War, Reinho, made a proposal around the bush.

The French army is an army of scum and scum, most of whom are people who covet 1,300-1,500 francs to join the army, so they have no honor.

[Although France is ostensibly a system of national military service, it is actually a system of substitute service, and the urban bourgeoisie only needs to grit its teeth and spend 3,000 francs to allow others to serve in the military instead of themselves, so the vast majority of those who serve in the military come to the countryside. 】

However, there are still some advantages to properly promoting the glory, in case it really attracts a bunch of silly ...... No, it is a young man who cares about the country to join the army to serve France, which is undoubtedly a happy result.

"What's your plan?" Prime Minister Opoul asked Regnho directly.

"We plan to transfer the Roman expeditionary force stationed in Lyon to Paris, to be reviewed by His Excellency the President and the Prime Minister!" Minister Regnio said to Prime Minister Opple.

A review of the military is undoubtedly the best time to increase its influence, and Regnio is not convinced that Prime Minister Opoul does not want to increase his prestige.

"How many people do you want to deploy!" Prime Minister Opple asked General Regnio again, and there seemed to be more than that in his tone.

"Mr. Prime Minister, I think the number of people participating in the parade should be about 5,000!" Regnio did not hesitate to respond to Prime Minister Opple.

"5,000 people? This means that there will be a transfer of troops from Paris! Prime Minister Opauer said word for word to General Reinho.

In the face of Prime Minister Opple's almost oppressive words, General Regnio responded with neither humility nor arrogance: "Every army in Paris should be under the control of the government, and the government has the right to decide whether they go or stay!" ”

"I agree with Minister Regnio that some of the troops in Paris have also been moved!" Jérôme. Bonaparte stepped in to help Minister Regnio share the pressure.

Opple looked at Minister Regnio in conclusion, then glanced at Jérôme. Bonaparte, with a long sigh, said, "I agree with your suggestion in principle, but I hope that in this matter you will be able to speak to Shangargne, under whose command the army of Paris is under his command!" ”

"Of course!" Minister Regnio nodded and said, "I will inform General Shangargne when the meeting is over!" ”

"Hmm!" Prime Minister Opoul nodded and acquiesced to General Regnio's request for a military parade.

The meeting ended with Prime Minister Opaure's concluding remarks. Bonaparte rode in a carriage with Minister Regnio to the Élysée Palace.

Get off Jérôme. Bonaparte immediately said to Pesini, who had come to greet him: "Monsieur Persini, please go to the residence of General Shangargne, and say that I have something important to look for him!" ”

"Yes!" Pessini took the white horse handed over by the guards and rode to the residence of Shangargne to inform him.

"Let's go!" Jérôme. Bonaparte motioned for Minister Regnio to proceed to the reception room.

After about an hour of waiting in the two-person meeting room, the door of the reception room slowly opened.

With gray temples and a wrinkled face, and a drooping old expression, Shangargne was led by Pessini to Jérôme. Bonaparte's face.

"Your Excellency!" Shangargne bowed his proud head to Jérôme. Bonaparte greeted, then watched Minister Regnio take a shower and returned to his original expression: "Minister Regnio! ”

Since October 20th Jérôme. Bonaparte abruptly deposed Odilon. After Barrow, Shangargne, who knew that he had lost an ally, moved closer to the Élysée Palace.

[Shangargne has a haughty personality, and his relations with the Party of Order have always been neither good nor bad. 】

In Jérôme. With the connivance of Bonaparte, he has already considered himself a royal faction and a protector of the president, and in his dual capacity there seems to be some wishful thinking on the part of Jean-Gargne. Bonaparte would have accepted him.

"Commander Shangarne, please take a seat" Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled at Shangarne and held out his hand to invite him to sit down.

In the absence of a complete isolation of Shangargne, goodwill should be unleashed to confuse Shangargne.

After Shangarne sat down, he still couldn't change his arrogant face as a "presidential defender" and asked in a condescending manner: "Your Excellency, I don't know what you are looking for me?" ”

"That's right......" Jérôme. Bonaparte told Changarne what was to be discussed at the cabinet meeting.

"A team of 5,000 people?" Shangargne looked at Minister Regnho suspiciously.

"That's right, 5,000 people!" Minister Regnio replied.

"5,000 people in Paris, which means 5,000 people will also leave, am I right?" There was a sudden inexplicable meaning in Shangarne's tone.
