Dico listened to Jérôme. Bonaparte looked surprised when he told the Marquis of Illé about the question of French sea power, and he did not expect that there would be people in the world who were exactly in line with his thoughts.

In order to reverse the Navy's lack of attention to the idea of maritime power, Dicko wasted a lot of effort, and many Admiralty commanders in important positions were transferred to the civilian department because of their disagreements, or they were forced to retire.

As a result, a large number of aristocratic naval officers were forced to transfer and replaced with a group of depressed civilian officers.

Dickor's actions were met with strong resistance from the aristocratic officers, so much so that the aristocratic naval officers called Dick "Dicktido in the navy" behind their backs.

Of course, those depressed civilian officers really love Dick, and if it weren't for Dick's eclectic promotion, they probably wouldn't have been able to get ahead for the rest of their lives.

In this era, the navy still belonged to the territory of the aristocracy, and the probability of wanting to get ahead in the navy was even lower than that of the army.

Take Montauban, the new commander of the 1st Division in Paris, who went from being an ordinary lieutenant officer to a colonel for more than 24 years.

Remember, this twenty-four years were not twenty-four years of peace, Montauban participated in the Spanish expedition, fought the Arabs in Algeria for more than twenty years, and captured Arab national heroes, if not Jérôme. If Bonaparte had been discovered, he would probably not have been able to rise to brigadier general until 1855, and then to the rank of major general.

In the Navy, if a capable ordinary person does not have extraordinary luck, he may not be able to reach the rank of colonel for the rest of his life, and the internal typography of the Navy is even stricter than that of the Army.

One can imagine how happy the Admiralty members were when Minister Dick pulled down some of the noble navy who had been on a vegetarian diet.

"Your Excellency the President, what kind of position do you want the Marquis of Alai to hold!" Minister Diko cautiously asked Jérôme. Bonaparte.

If it is recommended by the general public...... Even if it was recommended by a colleague who was also recommended by the Minister, Dick would politely decline, because what the Admiralty had been able to see so far was an iron-clad rule, and Secretary Dick had to abide by this rule.

However, the president was not within the scope of the Admiralty's rules, and Secretary Dicko knew that he had to meet the president's needs before he could continue to plan his strategic goals.

"You can do it!" Jérôme. Bonaparte kicked the balloon in front of Dico with a fluttering word.

"Then ......" Dick thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, do you want Mr. Marquis to be the assistant minister first?" ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte looked at Dico in amazement, the assistant minister was not a petty official, and his words and deeds represented the minister's will.

It can be said that the Admiralty has a small amount of power.

Mistake Jérôme. Bonaparte's expression of Dicko hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte explained: "Your Majesty, after all, the Marquis of Alai has not stayed in the navy for almost 2 years, and if he is hastily promoted, it will affect the deployment of the entire navy!" I'm going to let him get acquainted with the navy's business as an assistant first, and when the time comes, I'll appoint him as a local naval commander. ”

"Mr. Minister, you don't have to explain anything to me!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Dicoux: "If I am the president of the whole country, then you are the president of the navy." The entire navy will be at your command! ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte put on a show of total respect for Dico, which caused a mixture of emotions to well-up in Dico's heart.

"Alright, Mr. Minister! It's time for me to leave! There's also a meet-and-greet waiting for me to complete! "Jérôme. Bonaparte glanced out the window at the bright sunlight and said to Dico.

Diko hurriedly got up to bid Jerome farewell. Bonaparte, in Jérôme. Bonaparte politely refused, and Dico just took Jérôme. The door of Minister Bonaparte's office.

Minister Dico, who was watching the President leave outside the window, immediately called his secretary of state and explained some information to the secretary of state.

"Let the design institute revise the plan of the gunboat, you can try to remove the all-through gun deck and use the central gun emplacement instead! At the same time thicken the gunboat in the iron sheet! Dick conveyed the order to the secretary of state, and then added: "If this does not affect the performance of the gunboat as a whole!" ”

At the end of the day, Dick still didn't believe Jérôme. Bonaparte's opinion on ironclads.

Sometimes you have to be obedient to your leadership.

"Yes!" The Secretary of State immediately responded.

"And bring the information of the retired Marquis of Alai to my office!" Dick continued.

"Understood"

……

Jérôme leaving from the Admiralty building. After some tossing and turning, Bonaparte finally arrived at the Elysée Palace.

It was already a quarter past nine o'clock, and Jérôme. Bonaparte's agreed time was less than 15 minutes.

Jérôme sitting in the drawing room. Bonaparte slept on the couch in a half-recumbent position with a tired face, and fell asleep unconsciously

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......"

Until Jérôme. Bonaparte's ears were again filled with shouts, and he awoke from his stupor.

Rubbing the sleepy-eyed Jérôme. Bonaparte finally saw the people around him clearly, and with a yawn, he said to everyone present: "I'm really sorry, I ...... yesterday."

Saying, Jérôme. Bonaparte yawned again.

Everyone present smiled understandingly.

Stay until Jérôme. When Bonaparte was fully awake, the meeting began in earnest.

The meeting was attended by the Minister of Justice, Ruet, the Minister of Finance, Fuerde, the Minister of the Interior, Baroche, the Minister of Railways, Morni, the Minister of Public Works, Pessini, the Minister of War, Reinho, and the Secretary of State, Saint-Roy. Arnault and the head of the secretary's office, Valewski, said that this meeting was a crucial meeting of life and death for the Bonapartist faction, and the vast majority of those who joined the meeting were important candidates for the future process.

Jérôme. Bonaparte looked around and looked at Jérôme from their eyes. Bonaparte saw firmness, apprehension, and excitement.

Although everyone's expression is slightly different, the word "ambition" is revealed in everyone's eyes.

The Bonapartist faction was a gathering of careerists, and it was impossible for anyone without the slightest ambition to join the Bonapartist faction, nor would he be willing to follow Jérôme. Bonaparte carried out a coup d'état.

The meeting was held from Jérôme. After Bonaparte woke up, Jérôme. Bonaparte cleared his throat and said coldly, "Guys, I think you know what I have invited you for!" ”

Everyone present nodded, of course they knew Jérôme. Bonaparte's intentions.

Seeing that everyone present nodded in unison, Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled with satisfaction: "Throughout the ages, victors have been those who have some set goals and act decisively!" They can lie dormant for a purpose, or even twenty years, and he will immediately take them at the first opportunity. ”

Saying, Jérôme. Bonaparte stretched out his hand and made a grasping motion, and his expression became extremely serious: "For me, the only thing in my dictionary is to win!" Can we only keep winning to be worthy of our current efforts? The goddess of victory has pitied us because we are more determined than they are, when they are still fighting for power in the parliamentary struggle. We have mastered the government and the army in Paris. So as long as we don't hesitate, then the weak National Assembly is not our opponent at all! ”

Everyone present smiled, they were ready to settle the reckoning with the guys in the National Assembly.

"Now we have entered a new phase! We have to make a new plan! "Jérôme. Bonaparte's expression was grim, but the corners of his mouth could not hide his triumphant look, and he turned his gaze to Valewski: "Secretary General Valewski, how is the compilation of the petition in the secretary's office!" ”

Valewski looked at Jérôme with a serious expression. "Your Excellency, as of today, the Secretariat has received petitions from the northern, central and western provinces, all of whom have chosen to support us," Bonaparte reported! When it comes to public opinion, we don't have to worry at all! ”

"Good!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded in satisfaction, and he turned his gaze to Ruet: "Monsieur Ruet, can the Ministry of Justice help us avoid certain constitutional ...... After all, we're disbanding them with a sword and a gun! ”

"You don't have to worry at all, Your Majesty! You represent the will of the entire French people, and no constitution can be higher than the will of France. "Eugène. Ruet replied in a flat tone, his demeanor and eyes like a Bonaparte's analysis: "After we have won, we can make laws!" At that time, who will be able to stop us! We can produce as many laws as we need! Your will is the embodiment of the law! ”

"Good!" Jérôme. Bonaparte to Eugène. Rue applauded, and he turned his gaze to Morny and Persini: "Molny, Persini, how are you two?" ”

Molny and Pesini also promised that there would be no mistakes.

"During the coup d'état, it was important to cut off Paris from the outside world, and not a single car could leave the railway during that time! Our enemies are not limited to Paris! "Jérôme. Bonaparte admonished again.

Immediately afterwards, Jérôme. Bonaparte asked the Minister of the Interior, Baroshe, about the police.

After receiving assurances that Baros would definitely restrain the police during the coup d'état, Jérôme. Bonaparte also encouraged Baroche in two sentences.

During the coup, the police should not cause trouble for them.

"Minister Fuld, how is the question of the loan from the Banque de France prepared?" Jérôme. Bonaparte inquired about the loan from the Banque de France.

Fulder, who is one of the directors of the board of directors of the Banque de France, said to Jérôme. Bonaparte said: "The Comte de Argourne is actively enlisting the shareholders of the Banque de France to support you, and many of them have already been co-opted by him. It won't be long before the bank loan can be approved in the name of bonds, and you will definitely not miss the time! ”
