"Your Majesty, it won't be long before those groundhogs in California (Isaac. Perel's joking name for the gold diggers) will find that the yellow cancan cuties (gold) they have worked so hard to find will turn into a pile of broken stones (exaggeration) that no one wants. At that time, there will be a widespread panic in the market, and people will want to get rid of their gold, and we can buy them at a very low price! ”

Isaac. Perel confidently addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte explained, then added: "In this huge plan, not only the banks in France, but also the Bank of Baring, and many other British banks!" It will definitely be able to crush the native forces in the United States of America! ”

Isaac. Perel's majestic plan made Jérôme. Bonaparte couldn't help but sigh in his heart Isaac. Perel's audacity.

Once Isaac. Perel's success would make the gold mines that the United States of America had worked so hard to dig up would be in the pockets of Britain and France, and the federal government of the United States of America would suffer a devastating blow.

Wait a minute! We can......

Jérôme. Bonaparte suddenly thought that the United States of America was not the only country in this world that had gold, and that the Russian Empire also contained a certain amount of recent development.

Before the gold mines of Australia and California were mined, the Russian Empire was the world's supplier of gold.

If Britain and France were able to use the power of capital to bring down the price of gold, it would inevitably affect the Russian Empire as well.

The price of the paper ruble will progressively fall along with the decline in the trend of gold.

At that time, the mobilization capacity of the Russian Empire will be further weakened.

The war between Britain and France and the Russian Empire was not limited to a life-and-death contest on the battlefield, but should also extend to the financial field.

Thinking of this, Jérôme. Bonaparte began, "I have a suggestion......"

Jérôme. Bonaparte suggested that the Russian Empire should also be drawn into the financial theater of war, weakening the mobilization capacity of the Russian Empire by weakening the purchasing power of gold in the hands of the Russian Empire.

"Your Majesty, short-selling of this scale, I'm afraid it will take action from the Banque de France!" Isaac. Perel vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"I'll solve this problem!" Jérôme. Bonaparte vs. Isaac. Perel replied.

Jérôme. Bonaparte was not only ready to use the Bank of France, but was also prepared to persuade the Bank of England to act with them.

Relying on the abundant capital of Britain and France, Russia and the United States will definitely be able to hollow out the foundations of Russia and the United States.

"If that's the case, that's great!" Isaac. Perel said with a smile.

For a qualified financial trader, the more people who join this financial war, the more power they can wield later, and the more they can grasp the financial potential of completely defeating Russia and the United States.

"By the way, there's one more thing!" Jérôme. Bonaparte followed up against Isaac. "Is there any interest in opening a branch in the Far East? ”

"Far East?" Isaac. Perel repeated Jérôme with a puzzled look on his face. Bonaparte's words?

"That's right! I plan to deliver all the already obsolete equipment of France to the Far East...... "Jérôme. Bonaparte to Isaac. Perel explains why he wants Isak. Perel's company opens a branch in the Far East.

"For some time to come, your banks will have a monopoly on all French interests in the Far East! All transactions will also be done through your bank! "This is Jérôme. Bonaparte gave the Industrial Bank of Paris special treatment for the opening of the Far Eastern market.

"Our bank is willing to obey His Majesty's instructions and provide the best service for the business of the French Empire in the Far East!" Isaac. Perel did not hesitate to agree to Jérôme. Bonaparte's invitation.

For a bank, there is no more money-making industry than a monopoly.

Even a period of monopoly would be enough for the Industrial Bank of Paris to weave a vast network of relationships in the Far East, thus blocking the path of latecomers.

"If your bank is willing, then I won't look for anyone else!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded to Isaac. Perel said.

Isaac. Perel left Jérôme with a full harvest. Bonaparte's study, and before he left, he deliberately left a note worth 10 million.

With this note, Jérôme. Bonaparte could go to the Industrial Bank of Paris to exchange the equivalent franc.

Obviously, this is Isaac. Perel gave Jérôme. Bonaparte's "filial piety".

Despite the fact that Jérôme. Bonaparte himself was not very interested in money, but Isaac. Perel also did not dare to snub the emperor because he was not interested in money.

It can be said that the achievements of the Industrial Bank of Paris and the Perel brothers are completely inseparable from Jérôme. The support of Bonaparte himself.

Maintaining as friendly relations with Caesar as possible is the secret of a bank's longevity.

Isaac. After Perel left, Jérôme. Bonaparte shook his head and put 10 million francs in a drawer.

For the next four days, Jérôme. Bonaparte also gave them to Conrobert, Pelisier, Bosquet, and St. Bonaparte. Arnault, Niel, Kuzan. Montauban's family members were 200,000 francs each, Brigadier Bazin, Brigadier Troch, and Brigadier McMahon were 100,000 francs each, and the rest of the various major generals and brigadier generals ranged from 50,000 to 70,000 francs......

After a lavish reward, Jérôme. Only 400,000 francs remained in Bonaparte's hands.

Jérôme. Bonaparte also donated 200,000 francs in his personal name to the French Academy of Sciences and the Charity Hospital.

When later scholars counted the emperor's food and clothing, they found that the personal expenses of the emperor and his wife were about 1.20-1.8 million francs per year.

The vast majority of the remaining money was spent on rewards and charity.

On March 23, a letter from London came to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Ruiz hurried to the Tuileries Palace with the letters.

"Your Majesty, this is a letter from Palmerston, Prime Minister of Britain!" Morality. As he spoke, Ruiz handed the letter to Jérôme. In the hands of Bonaparte.

Spread out the letter and read it carefully. Bonaparte's expression gradually became solemn, and when he had read the contents of the letter, he raised his head to look at De. Ruiz said: "What do you think of what Palmerston said about opening up a second battlefield?" ”

It turned out that Prime Minister Palmerston said two things in his letter, one of which was that he wanted to open a second battlefield in the St. Petersburg area in order to defeat the Russian Empire more quickly.

In order to accomplish his main goal of quickly crushing the Russian Empire, Palmerston hoped that the French Empire would join the British Kingdom in convincing the Kingdom of Sweden to join the war against the Russian Empire.

"Your Majesty, I think this plan of Palmerston is too risky!" Morality. Ruiz cautiously addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

Oh, yes! The plan in Palmerston's letter can no longer be called a plan, but rather a plan that Palmerston decided on with a pat on the head.

The premise of landing in St. Petersburg was that the British and French naval fleets could completely suppress the goose batteries built by the Russian Empire in St. Petersburg, and at the same time, the British and French vanguard forces would crush the counterattacks of the Russian Imperial Army again and again.

St. Petersburg is not a border town like Sevastopol, it is the heart of the entire Russian Empire.

At the same time, it was also the place where the units of the Imperial Guards of the Russian Empire were stationed, two of which were stationed in the three Guards armies of the Russian Empire.

Once the British and French forces tried to land in St. Petersburg, then the British, French and Russian forces were bound to fight a meat grinder-style battle in the radiation area centered on the port of St. Petersburg.

Such results for Jérôme. Bonaparte could not accept the conditions in any case.

Not to mention, convincing the Kingdom of Sweden to join the fight against the Russian Empire was equally a fantasy.

The total number of troops deployed by the Russian Empire on the Finnish front was about 300,000 (claimed by the Russian Empire), while the Swedish Kingdom had only about 70,000 troops at full strength.

Even if the 300,000 boasted by the Russian Empire were cut in half, there would be about 150,000 soldiers to fight.

70,000 troops against 150,000 troops, unless the Kingdom of Sweden has a commander like Berthier and Gustav.

Once the battle line of the Kingdom of Sweden was pushed back, the French Empire needed to come to the rescue.

Jérôme. Bonaparte was a little skeptical that Palmerston was trying to push the French Empire into the fire pit.

"I can't agree to open up a second battlefield!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said decisively: "You tell Palmerston that the French Empire will only fight according to the established plan!" If the Kingdom of Britain has to land in St. Petersburg, then let them do it themselves! ”

"Yes!" Morality. Ruiz vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"As for inviting the Austrian Empire to participate in the war against Russia! (Another thing) "Jérôme. After pondering for a moment, Bonaparte spoke: "You can say that the French Empire agrees in principle with the proposal of the Kingdom of Britain and agrees to negotiate peace with the Russian Empire under the mediation of the Austrian Empire!" ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte knew that this so-called peace talks were nothing more than a means for the Kingdom of Britain to force the Austrian Empire to take sides!

It's like Jérôme. Just as Bonaparte used force to force Austria to take sides, the Kingdom of Britain preferred to use shady means to push the Austrian Empire into a corner.

Morality. Shortly after Luyce left the Tuileries Palace and returned to the Foreign Office, a letter departed from the French Foreign Office and arrived at 10 Downing Street on the 25th.

After receiving the official reply from the French Foreign Ministry, Palmerston carefully read the contents of the letter, and said to himself with a slightly lost expression: "It seems that France has been frightened by the huge depth of the Russian Empire!" But that's fine! ”

After saying that, Prime Minister Palmerston called his own. The secretary ordered the secretary to hand over the Earl Clarendon, the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Upon the arrival of the Earl of Clarendon, Palmerston immediately ordered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to initiate negotiations with Russia.

Count Clarendon, the Foreign Secretary, who had received the order and returned to the Foreign Office, sent a telegram to the British ambassador in Vienna ordering him to put pressure on the Austrian Empire as soon as possible in order to bring about negotiations with the Russian Empire.

After reading the telegram, the British ambassador immediately left for Schönbrunn Palace for a brief meeting with the Austrian Foreign Minister, Count Bauer.

During the meeting, the British ambassador reaffirmed the Kingdom's desire for peace, while suggesting that the Russian Empire in the Danube region was not only a danger to the European continent, but also to the Austrian Empire.

So the Kingdom of Britain hoped to drive the Russian Empire out of the Danube with the help of the Austrian Empire.

In return, the Kingdom of Britain would acquiesce to the Austrian Empire's control of the Danube.

The Earl of Bauer, who received a reply from British, was a little moved, but he had not yet made up his mind to abandon the Russian Empire.

Until Richard. Metternich's letter made the Count of Baul immediately aware that this was the deadline for England and France to give Austria.

The Count of Bauer could only hurry to the home of the Prince of Metternich and inform the Prince of Metternich of the ultimatum issued by the British and French countries to the Austrian Empire.

"Now it seems that the Austrian Empire has reached the point where it has to choose a faction!" Prince Metternich said in a flat tone, but with a hint of resentment.

In the period since his trip to the French Empire, which led to sincere cooperation between France and Austria on the question of the Russian Empire, the diplomacy of the Austrian Empire has been in circles in circles.

The pro-Westerns were at odds with the centrists, and their monarch Franz. Joseph, as well as he and the stupid minister Count Bauer, were not a strong-willed man.

The destructive power of an undetermined minister and an equally undetermined monarch can be very fatal to a country.

Thinking of this, Prince Metternich couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He could only hope that after Austria joined the British and French camps, Britain and France would forget what the Austrian Empire had done before and stand on the same front with the Austrian Empire against the Russian Empire.

As for the option of joining the Russian Empire, it was not at all on the minds of Prince Metternich.

The Russian Empire's obsession with territorial expansion doomed the Austrian Empire and the Russian Empire to a conflict.

It's just that this conflict came a little early.

"Let's go! Let's go and convince Your Majesty together! Prince Metternich stood up and said to Count Bauer.

……

On March 30, at a distance from Jérôme. There was only one day left for the military exchange meeting that Bonaparte was talking about.

Richard. Metternich is once again in Jérôme. Bonaparte in front of Jérôme. Bonaparte gave an update on the situation in the Austrian Empire.

"Your Majesty, our country is willing to act as a bridge of communication between Britain and France and Russia, and do its best to maintain peace and stability in the Danube region!"
