Chapter 449 Planning Committee (Part II)
Planned production for war was never unusual, and even in the feudal period, vague principles of planned production were followed to determine the amount of weapons and grain needed for a war.
However, the actual emergence of organized and large-scale planned production of armaments for war was not achieved until the Great Revolution several decades away.
When the revolutionary government issued a mobilization to Paris and even the whole of France, all the factories, scientists, and workers in Paris obeyed the orders of the revolutionary government to carry out large-scale production, and the whole of Paris was turned into a large arsenal just a few days ago, sending a large number of weapons and equipment to the revolutionary army, so that the originally bare-handed revolutionary army could have weapons to compete with the anti-French feudal alliance.
Of course, the war mobilization in which the revolutionary government is engaged is only a ray of light in the history of planned mobilization.
It was the Civil War seven years later that really brought planned warfare to the fore, which was arguably a rehearsal for the First World War, in which both sides did everything in their power to completely wipe out all the living forces of the other.
Under the leadership of the Northern Union, the War Council, composed of the directors of the federal bureaus, collected all the military-related and military-related resources to the central government, and the chairman of the committee, Major General Kirk, a personal adviser designated by the federal president, served as the chairman of the committee, and the large-scale planned mobilization was realized.
However, after the Civil War and before World War I, the United States never used the advantages of industrial mobilization again, and the War Council was abolished.
And Jérôme. Bonaparte's War Planning Committee was slightly more centralized than the federal government's committee, and it involved not only military issues, but also economic issues during the war, so as to prevent large fluctuations in the domestic economy caused by the war.
This method is the first of its kind in France today, and in the whole world.
So when the physical businessmen present heard Jérôme. When Bonaparte talked about "targets" and "plans", they did not think of the Civil War ten years later, but subconsciously thought of the various measures taken by France during the Revolution.
Some imaginative brick-and-mortar businessmen even thought of the revolutionary government's hanging of unscrupulous merchants during the Revolution in order to quell rising prices, as well as the more radical ideas and policies of Marat and Robespierre.
The imaginative businessman's face turned pale in an instant, and his legs trembled involuntarily. Fear spread like a plague to all the merchants present around (Eugène. Except for Schneider and Basilio), they all began to think about it.
One of the most feared is Jérôme. François next to Bonaparte. Wendell, seeing his face as ash as ash as he trembled, looked at Jérôme. Bonaparte begged for mercy: "Your Majesty...... I am willing to ...... all my factories and all my property."
Not waiting for François. Wendell finished speaking, Jérôme. Bonaparte immediately interrupted him: "What do I want your factories and property for?" ”
Subsequently, Jérôme. Bonaparte looked around again, and when he saw that everyone's eyes were full of fear, he couldn't help but laugh angrily: "Do you still think that I am taking advantage of you?" ”
Brick-and-mortar businessmen heard Jérôme. After Bonaparte's questioning, he subconsciously hit a spirit, and flatly denied it: "No! ”
"Don't worry! I am not guilty of using such a roundabout method to steal your property! "Jérôme. Bonaparte first gave the physical merchants present a reassurance.
The merchants present immediately realized this, and their worried hearts finally had a little calm.
Then, Jérôme. Bonaparte continued: "Not only will the government not confiscate your property, but on the contrary we will encourage you physical merchants to reduce your taxes for your efforts for the country during the war!" ”
When the businessman heard about the tax reduction, the fear in his heart disappeared without a trace.
After seeing that many people were no longer afraid of the War Planning Committee, Jérôme. Bonaparte began to explain to them the specifics of the work of the war committee, including how to give orders and how to produce according to them...... and many other issues.
All the brick-and-mortar businessmen present were in the middle of the day. Bonaparte's explanation immediately followed by Jérôme. Bonaparte meaning.
"If the Planning Committee is the head, then the committee you are joining now is the body, in the past, you committees were attached to the two departments of the Army and the Navy, and now I want to take all these rights into the government departments, and the supplies needed by the Army and Navy will be reported to the Planning Committee, and the Planning Committee will convey the indicators to you! You just need to finish the production within the time frame given by the planning committee! "Jérôme. Bonaparte explained the situation to the merchants present in simple and clear language.
Subsequently, Jérôme. Bonaparte asked the physical merchants present in a consultative tone what they thought.
The businessmen present only hesitated for a moment before agreeing to Jérôme. Bonaparte's practice.
Compared with the confiscation of their property by government departments, it is obviously a relatively easy industry to get government departments to settle in.
Valley wet/span while planning the commission of this department, Jérôme. Bonaparte had found the perfect fit.
"Yay!" Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled with satisfaction, the fellows were succumbing more easily than he had imagined.
Subsequently, Jérôme. After Bonaparte verbally encouraged all the physical businessmen present, the government negotiated with the management.
Brick-and-mortar businessmen who have no intention of hanging out have turned to Jérôme. Bonaparte said goodbye, Jérôme. Bonaparte shook hands with them in turn, and after a few words of encouragement, he let them go.
In the end, only Eugène remained. Schneider stayed where he was, he was with Jérôme. When Bonaparte shook hands, he heard Jérôme. Bonaparte asked him to stay and had to stay.
"Mr. Schneider, let's go!" Jérôme. Bonaparte invited Eugène. Schneider continued to wander around the industrial park, and on the way he asked Eugène about it. Schneider in Lorraine and Leclezzo.
When Jérôme. Bonaparte and Eugène. Schneider arrived at the entrance of a workshop called the Rifle Institute in the industrial park. Bonaparte stopped at Eugène. Schneider asked, "Mr. Schneider, I wonder if you, as an inventor, are interested in working in politics?" ”
Hear Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Eugène. Schneider was stunned for a moment, and then showed a bewildered expression. Bonaparte's sudden question made Eugène, who had been in a calm state of mind. Schneider was messy.
"I ......" Eugène. Schneider seemed to want to say something, but couldn't.
"What's wrong? If you don't want to, don't force it! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said empathetically.
Despite the history of Eugène. Schneider served as President of the Legislative Council, but that was seventeen years later. Schneider is probably nowhere near as sophisticated as he was seventeen years later.
Of course, Jérôme. Bonaparte did not need a particularly sophisticated politician, and a science and engineering inventor was much more useful in that position than a pure politician.
"Your Majesty, I beg your pardon for taking the liberty of it!" Eugène. Schneider first asked Jérôme. Bonaparte apologized, then asked: "If I grant your request, what position will I hold!" ”
"If you are willing to engage in political work, I am ready to hand over the post of chairman of the Planning Commission to you!" Jérôme. Bonaparte was straightforward to Eugène. Schneider said, as long as "this department will be directly under my leadership, and the person who leads this committee will be at the executive level equal to the head of the department!" ”
Hear Jérôme. Bonaparte's reply, Eugène. Schneider couldn't help but feel a little moved, and he asked again: "Your Majesty, why did you choose me?" ”
"For me, all I need to do is a guy who is sensitive to numbers! No matter how bad it is, it just needs not to be overshadowed by the academic bureaucrats under him. "Jérôme. Bonaparte replied to Eugène in an indifferent tone. Schneider, it's like stating a trivial matter.
This made Eugène, who thought that he had some political potential before he would be discovered by the emperor. Schneider couldn't help but be a little frustrated.
However, Jérôme. Bonaparte's next sentence made Eugène. Schneider's heart barely had a hint of comfort: "Eugène. Schneider, you're a person with a strong sensitivity to numbers, and you've been with me for a long time, so I'd rather give this position to someone I trust! I don't know what you think! ”
"I'm willing to try this position!" Eugène. Schneider immediately said to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.
"Good!" Jérôme. Bonaparte bowed slightly, then patted Eugène. Schneider's shoulder said solemnly: "I'm only giving you a week, you need to use this week...... In four days, you have only four days to complete all the work you are doing and then devote yourself to the formation of the Planning Committee.
Our war with Russia has begun, you have to hurry! Do you understand? ”
From Jérôme. Eugène listened to the sense of urgency in Bonaparte's words. Schneider immediately responded: "Understood. ”
"That's it! You can go back and get ready! "Jérôme. Bonaparte vs Eugène. Schneider said.
Eugène. Schneider to Jérôme. Bonaparte bowed and left the industrial complex, Jérôme. Bonaparte walked straight along the concrete-paved road towards the rifle institute.
