Chapter 664 St. Marshal Arnault returned to the west
When Mocal returned to his room, Empress Augusta asked Mocal if he was a guest from the Banque de France.
Mocal had a slight stunned look on his face, and then nodded and told Empress Augusta that the Count of Bemini, the president of the Banque de France, had been waiting for a long time in the Douilleri Palace, and was now being arranged by him in a room in the Douilleri Palace, Her Majesty, if you want to meet him!
"Then invite President Bemini over!" Empress Augusta replied to Mocal.
"Yes!" Mocal bowed to Empress Augusta and left the room.
Empress Augusta, who was alone in the room, yawned and muttered to herself, "I didn't expect that a small Luxembourg bank could affect so many people!" ”
After a while, Count Bémini, president of the Banque de France, and Mocal appeared in the room.
"Count Bamini, forgive me for not being able to get up to greet you!" Empress Augusta, who was sitting on the sofa, pointed to her stomach and said to Count Bemini.
"It is a great honour for Your Majesty to take the time to meet with me!" Count Bemini hurriedly bowed to Empress Augusta.
At the invitation of Empress Augusta, Count Bemini sat on the sofa opposite Augusta.
Empress Augusta pretended to wonder if there was a problem with the Banque de France that he could not deal with, so that he had time to go to the Palazzo Douilleri.
"By the grace of your two Majesties, I am in charge of the Banque de France! Nowadays, the Banque de France is working along the Jérôme. In the direction of His Majesty the Emperor Bonaparte, the issuance of bank bills was precisely regulated, so that each bank note could be circulated in the market...... Although there were some unsatisfactory small twists and turns during the issuance of bank notes, it was relatively stable overall! Count Bemini replied to Empress Augusta in a standard official tone.
"Since the Banque de France is fine, then Monsieur Bemini, what are you doing with your sudden visit to the Douilleri Palace today?" Empress Augusta asked in a calm tone.
"Your Majesty, the purpose of my trip is for the Bank of Luxembourg!" Count Bemini replied to Empress Augusta with a serious face.
"Luxembourg Bank?" Empress Augusta pretended not to understand what Count Bemini meant: "What happened to the Bank of Luxembourg?" Could it be that it had a business dispute with the Banque de France? ”
Empress Augusta's remarks made Count Belmini smell danger, and he remembered that the governor Mocal had secretly told him that Empress Augusta was talking to the Perel brothers.
Could it be that now the Perel brothers have succeeded!
Thinking of this, Count Bemini couldn't help but get nervous.
If the Perel brothers really want to take down the Banco du Luxembourg, then the Banque de France is likely to face a formidable enemy.
Don't look at the fact that the Perel brothers are also members of the board of directors of the Banque de France and a member of the interest groups, but the interest groups do not have to be united, and the two banks that may sit on the board of directors of the Banque de France are like enemies outside the Banque de France, not to mention that the status of the members is very different.
The Perel brothers' position at the Banque de France was only a little higher than that of the average board member, far less than that of Fulder.
Once the Perel brothers take the Banque de Luxembourg, they will be able to get rid of the Banque de France, which is able to rise above many banks because it has a monopoly on the issuance of bank notes and the redemption of notes throughout France.
Without these two monopolies, the Banque de France would be nothing more than a slightly larger bank.
To make matters worse, if the Perel brothers did take down the Banco du Luxembourg, it would inevitably cause a rift within the Banco de France.
A group of bankers with only voting rights will surely rally around the Perel brothers to cheer on the Luxembourg bank.
When the time comes, it will be difficult for the entire Banque de France team to lead.
This is absolutely bad news for Count Bemini, who has been president of the Banque de France for less than a year.
Count Bemini, who had briefly weighed the pros and cons, decided to talk to Her Majesty the Empress straight to the point, and asked with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, I beg your pardon for my courage! The problems of the Banco du Luxembourg, if not handled well, could cause turmoil in the entire French financial world! ”
"Mr. Bemini, are you threatening me?" Empress Augusta also showed an unusually serious ground hole, and asked Count Bemini coldly.
"Your Majesty, I'm not threatening you! If you want, you can remove me from the post of president of the Banque de France at once! In the face of Augusta's hostility, Count Bamini remained calm and said to Queen Augusta: "But I beg you, you must not let the Bank of Luxembourg become the culprit who tore apart the Bank of France!" ”
"Monsieur Bemini, the Banque du Luxembourg is nothing more than a bank worth millions of francs! I'm curious how it can tear apart the behemoth of the Banque de France! Empress Augusta said to Count Bemini.
"Your Majesty, although the Banque du Luxembourg is small, he has all the functions of the Banque de France! It can be said that the Banque du Luxembourg itself is a small French bank! What the Bank of Luxembourg lacks is nothing more than a massive injection of funds, which is not a problem at all for France now! Count Bemini explained to Empress Augusta.
"So, what is the Bank of Luxembourg going to do to tear apart the Banque de France?" Empress Augusta asked Count Bemini.
"The Luxembourg bank didn't need to do anything, she just needed to open a branch in Paris and then look for some of the bigger banks to endorse the bank's credibility! That way, the big banks can do what they want to do but can't do with the Bank of Luxembourg! "The Bank of Luxembourg can sell bank notes on its own, and at the same time have the right to redeem discounted notes!" Many banks can bypass the Banque de France and issue bank notes.
Two banks, two different bank bills, are bound to cause chaos in the entire French financial market, and those bankers who originally only had voting rights on the board of directors will rush to the Bank of Luxembourg!
At that time, the entire French financial community will be torn apart in two parts.
Once the French financial system is shaken, then the whole of France ......"
Speaking of this, Bemini kept silent.
After all, His Majesty the Emperor was able to sit in this position in the first place because of the large-scale financial turmoil that occurred at that time.
Now that the emperor is sitting on this issue, he will never allow another financial problem like before.
Sure enough, after Count Bemini explained the dangers posed by the Bank of Luxembourg, Empress Augusta's face turned slightly pale.
"Mr. Bemini, I will tell Your Majesty exactly what you said! All matters are left to your Majesty! Empress Augusta replied to Count Bemini.
"Yes!" The Comte de Bemini then left the Palazzo de Douilleri.
Shortly after the departure of the Comte de Bemini, Empress Augusta again issued an order to Mocal, asking him to immediately go to the French Academy of Sciences to find several academicians in economics.
After receiving the order, Mocal quickly found several academicians for Empress Augusta, who asked them some questions about banking and finance, and whether the issuance of the two bank notes would have any impact on society
Although the academicians' answers are different, their core view is that the two kinds of bank bills will not have much impact, but the two over-issued bank bills will have a great impact, and the over-issuance of bank bills will lead to the rapid depreciation of bank bills and cause inflation.
France's finances will also cause massive upheaval.
After listening to the academician's explanation, Augusta had some thoughts, and then she thanked the academy and ordered Mocal to send the academician back safely.
……
At the same time, the French Military Hospital in Constantinople, thousands of miles away from Paris.
Since Vilnya set off to Sevastopol with a medical team to establish the Sevastopol Military Hospital with Nightingale.
The Constantinople Military District Hospital also received fewer and fewer patients, with the exception of a few patients who were in worse condition (mainly due to psychological problems and needed to go to Constantinople to change their mood), the vast majority of patients were treated directly in Sevastopol.
Gradually, the Constantinople Military District Hospital, which was originally responsible for medical treatment, became a "psychological rehabilitation center for middle and high-ranking officers" (jokingly called), and many medical personnel were seconded to the Sevastopol hospital.
The medical staff of the entire Constantinople Military District Hospital has been reduced from more than 600 to 700 at its peak, to more than 100 now.
However, even though the number of people in the Constantinople Military Hospital was drastically reduced, the basic functions it assumed remained largely unchanged.
Because in this group of hospitals, there is also a big man who is dying.
He was Marshal of the French Empire, Count of Sevastopol. Marshal Arnault.
At this time, he had long been tormented by illness, with a bloated and hot body, a haggard face, and sunken and dull eyes...... The once imposing commander was gone, and only a patient was as weak as if a gust of wind could blow him down.
And the reason why he is still here and has not fallen is that he wants to accept it as a commander in order to be able to witness the final victory with his own eyes.
However, now he obviously can't support it anymore, the pain in his abdomen has broken all his will, and now he doesn't want to support it anymore.
I'm so tired! So be it! Then take a break! Leave the rest to Your Majesty!
Saint. Marshal Arno gradually closed his eyes.
