Chapter 718: Sweeping the Crimean Peninsula (Part II)
After reading the program of Jérôme. Bonaparte patted Leboeuf on the shoulder and encouraged him to let go of his hands and feet. Bonaparte) will never forget his credits.
Encouraged, Leboeuf immediately patted his chest and turned to Jérôme. Bonaparte said that he himself would not fail to live up to the trust placed in him by His Majesty the Emperor, and at the same time intimately inquired about Jérôme. What should be done with these two additional incomes of Bonaparte.
Jérôme. Bonaparte naturally understood that Leboeuf meant that he wanted to hand over these two "windfalls" to Jérôme without taking the accounts of the army. Bonaparte.
"How much money can we get from the railroad and the horses?" Jérôme. Bonaparte pondered for a moment and then asked Leboeuf.
Leboeuf heard Jérôme. Bonaparte's words, I thought Jérôme. Bonaparte was ready to pocket all the money when he hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte replied: "These two incomes add up to about 5 million francs!" However, there are also some depreciated amounts for guns...... All of them add up to more than 10 million francs! ”
"10,000,000 francs!" Jérôme. Bonaparte smacked his lips, "Not a small amount indeed!" So be it! Leboeuf, you distribute all 10 million francs in the name of the Logistics Committee! ”
"Send it all?" Leboeuf looked at Jérôme in amazement. Bonaparte, he really couldn't think of Jérôme. Bonaparte would have given such an order.
"That's right! Send it all! "Jérôme. Bonaparte made a point of emphasis.
Subsequently, Jérôme. Bonaparte took out a note worth 100,000 francs from his bosom and handed it to Leboeuf.
"Your Majesty, I can't ......" Leboeuf wanted to refuse Jérôme. Bonaparte's Reward.
"You deserve it!" Jérôme. Bonaparte shoved the bill into General Leboeuf's bosom and told him again: "Don't use any of that money!" If you need anything, feel free to mention it to me! ”
"Yes!" Leboeuf nodded to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.
Subsequently, Jérôme. On a whim, Bonaparte asked General Leboeuf if he knew about the handling of the spoils of war by French officers.
Leboeuf told Jérôme. Bonaparte, who had also obtained booty from the raiding tribes in Algiers, knew something about the sale of the spoils of war.
Because the army itself is engaged in unprofitable trading, many sellers who do not know a single word do not know how to maximize the benefits of the spoils in their hands, so what they loot needs to be exploited by merchants.
"Isn't there anyone to help them organize a relatively equal platform?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked, confused.
"How in Algiers, that's easier to say! If those people want to cooperate with us for a long time, they must accept our arrangement! However, in a war as sudden as the current one, it is difficult for the army to find trustworthy businessmen! Many soldiers even sell items that were originally priceless at a very low price for the sake of temporary pleasure! "Leboeuf vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte replied.
After listening to Leboeuf, Jérôme. Bonaparte was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said to Leboeuf: "Okay! Got it! ”
Immediately afterwards, Leboeuf and Jérôme. After Bonaparte chatted for a while, Jérôme. Patterson entered the room and asked Jérôme. Bonaparte whispered about the arrival of Marshal Pellissier.
Seeing this, Leboeuf hurriedly got up and turned to Jérôme. Bonaparte said goodbye.
"Wait!" Jérôme. Bonaparte called out to Leboeuf and then to Jérôme. Patterson winked.
Received Jérôme. Bonaparte "signals" of Jérôme. Patterson turned to leave the room, and after a while, Jérôme was holding the tray in both hands. Patterson re-entered the room.
On the tray was a silver Legion of Glory medal, and Leboeuf's face flashed with excitement, and he straightened up and waited quietly for Jérôme. Bonaparte personally brought the medal for him!
Under the gaze of Leboeuf, Jérôme. Bonaparte picked up the medal from the tray, slowly handed it to Marshal Leboeuf's chest, and pinned it to him with his own hands!
"Good work!" Jérôme. Bonaparte patted Leboeuf on the shoulder and whispered.
Leboeuf shook his head, expressing his honor to be able to serve the Empire.
Then, in Jérôme. Under the orders of Bonaparte Leboeuf was Jerome. Patterson sent out the fortress of Perekop.
Jérôme. Bonaparte, led by his servants, came to the door of Marshal Pellisier's room.
Jérôme who pushed the door in. Bonaparte saw Marshal Perissier and Valewski at first sight, sitting on the sofa, sipping black tea.
Jérôme. Bonaparte's arrival caused them to put down their teacups and stand up to greet them.
"I've kept you waiting!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied apologetically to Marshal Perissier.
Although as a monarch, he naturally has the privilege of not observing time, but it is not a commendable thing to always make others wait.
"Nothing! We've just come here! "Marshal Pelissier hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte handed the steps.
"That's it! Marshal Perissier, you don't need to find a step for me, let's get to the point! "Jérôme. Bonaparte waved his hand in response to Marshal Pellissier.
"Yes!" Marshal Perissier quickly reverted to the style of a soldier and responded to Jérôme in a sonorous tone. Bonaparte said.
"Marshal Perissier!" Jérôme. Bonaparte also showed a serious expression, and said to Marshal Pellissier seriously: "In view of your excellent performance in the Crimean War, with the unanimous consent of the Legislative Council and the Senate (the Legislative Yuan and the Senate are not yet aware of this, Jérôme. Bonaparte is ready to get on the train first and pay later), and grant you the title of Count of Bakhchisaray!
I hope you will continue to work hard in the coming time to continue to open up new territories for France! ”
Marshal Pellissier, who heard that he had conferred the title of count, felt as if he had been hit by a lottery ticket worth a million francs, and the whole person felt a little fluttering.
You must know that this world line is different from the world line where your cousin is the emperor, and the titles of the Second Empire are not yet arbitrary, so long as you capture a place, you can distribute the titles of earls and dukes.
From the early days of the empire to the present, with the addition of Pellisier, it is only two counts and three marshals, as if it has the same posture as the First Empire.
There is a saying that rare things are precious, and Pelisier naturally cherishes the title of earl.
Of course, if Marshal Pelissier had known about himself on another world line and had obtained the Duke of Malachov by simply breaking through Sevastopol, he would have muttered in his heart that he would have muttered to him. Bonaparte slammed the door.
"Your Majesty, I will be loyal to my silent empire until my heart stops beating!" Marshal Pelissier spoke firmly to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.
"Good!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded in satisfaction, and then told Marshal Pelisier that the mansion, which corresponded to the title of Count, and the Medal of Glory matched the status of the Count, would be handed over to Pelisier upon his return to France.
Marshal Perissier nodded in understanding, and then, Jérôme. Bonaparte then asked Marshal Pellissier when the French army would be able to withdraw from the Crimean peninsula in its entirety.
Marshal Pelissier told Jérôme. The time for the complete evacuation of Bonaparte, France, may last from one to two months.
After all, it has been almost half a year since France landed on the Crimean peninsula.
It is simply impossible to transport all 100,000 soldiers back in a short period of time.
Therefore, they can only choose to send all their troops back in batches, in this case, it will definitely take a long time.
"When will the first soldiers set off?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Marshal Pellisier.
"A week later!" Marshal Perissier to Jérôme. Bonaparte said, and then suggested that Jérôme. Bonaparte returned to France with the first group of soldiers.
"Nonsense!" Jérôme. Bonaparte frowned and reprimanded Marshal Pellisier, "I will leave here with the last of the soldiers!" ”
"Your Majesty, the crown prince ......," Valewski, who was standing aside, said again and again.
"Friedrich, what's wrong with him?" Jérôme. Bonaparte was stunned for a few seconds.
"His Majesty Pope Pius IX said that he will personally be present at the full moon of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to baptize His Highness!" Valevsky reminded.
"Humph!" Jérôme. Bonaparte snorted coldly, and the corners of his mouth showed a sneer and mocked: "Our patron patron did not come to baptize Friedrich himself when he was born (for Friedrich. Bonaparte presided over the baptism by the Archbishop of the Cathedral of Nancy, and the baptism and coronation of the Bourbon dynasty were all carried out by the Cathedral of Nancy)!
On the contrary, at the time of the full moon, I traveled thousands of miles to Paris!
It's so dedicated! ”
Face Jérôme. Bonaparte's ridicule of Pope Pius IX, Marshal Perissier and Valewski did not dare to talk about it.
Some words about Jérôme, as a monarch. Bonaparte could discuss it at will, and if they were courtiers and were caught by someone with a heart (the clergy's influence in France was second only to the three main factions), they would inevitably get into a commotion.
However, Jérôme is not to blame for Pius IX. Bonaparte scoffed that his behavior was indeed a bit too hasty for quick success.
Valevsky believed that if Pius IX had not received the news of the complete surrender of the Russian Empire, he would have had to ride the wall for a while.
He would run to Paris in a hurry like now, for fear that Paris would do something dutiful.
