Chapter 722: The Dilemma of the Shipbuilding Industry in Toulon

Looking at the children who are fading away, Jérôme. Bonaparte's smile faded as he slowly got up and walked on.

Stand in Jérôme. When the ministers and mayors of Jacob, who were on the left and right sides behind Bonaparte, saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

Despite the fact that Jérôme. Bonaparte didn't say anything, but they knew in their hearts that they were not satisfied with the show just now.

As for why the emperor was dissatisfied, only he knew it in his heart.

From the port terminal to Jérôme near the main town of the port of Toulon. Bonaparte looked at the group of Imperial citizens holding aloft the banner "Long live Bonaparte, Long live the Empire" and were divided by soldiers on the left and right sides of the road in the main city, and a bright smile bloomed on his face again.

I saw him take off the wreath on his head, gently throw it into the crowd, and then say with majesty: "Citizens of the empire, your emperor is back!" ”

Suddenly, the citizens on both sides of the street were all boiling, and they "spontaneously" shouted the slogan "Long live Napoleon III, long live the Empire"!

Jérôme. Bonaparte quietly looked at the group of fanatical citizens in front of him, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose slightly.

I wonder why he insisted on going to the Crimean Peninsula to take command despite the fact that the empire was not yet stable.

As the nephew of Emperor Napoleon, he could not live in his uncle's book of merit for the rest of his life.

He must compose his own legend before Napoleon's shadow is exhausted.

Only in this way can he truly get rid of the shadow of Emperor Napoleon and become a legend in the true sense of the word.

Now, having defeated the Russian Imperial Army and forced the Russian Empire to sign a humiliating treaty, he has taken the first step on this legendary path.

"Long live Napoleon III" was the best response from the citizens of the Empire.

As the atmosphere went from high to low, the officers around the residents also shouted hysterically: "Salute! ”

All the soldiers raised their guns in salute almost at the same time, and the bright bayonets looked particularly glaring in the sunlight.

Looking at the group of energetic and high-spirited soldiers in front of him, Jérôme. A proud smile appeared on Bonaparte's face.

It was with the help of tens of thousands of soldiers like them that Jérôme. Bonaparte was able to defeat the Russian Empire in a short time.

Duke Golitsyn in the heart of St. Petersburg would not have launched a successful rebellion without the constant victories of the French Empire in the Crimea, which reduced the Tsar's prestige in the Russian Empire.

He may go down in obscurity, as in history, or he may die quietly on any street in St. Petersburg.

Thinking of this, Jérôme. Bonaparte waved his hand lightly, "Soldiers of the Empire, you have worked hard! Personally, I am very grateful to you for being able to maintain law and order here! It is because of you that our country, our nation, can live safely on this land.

Peace in Europe requires not only flowers and salutes, but also spears and shields. ”

In the face of this sudden compliment, almost all the soldiers enthusiastically cheered the slogan "Long live the emperor".

The atmosphere that had finally been sluggish once again entered a new climax amid the successive cheers of the soldiers.

With Jérôme. As Bonaparte marched forward, the cheers he received grew louder and louder, and a handful of fanatical citizens even began to storm the human wall formed by the army. Bonaparte met face to face.

Simply, every soldier was able to stick to his profession and did not let them break through the human wall.

When Jérôme. When Bonaparte arrived at the town hall of the port of Toulon, the bureaucrats of the town hall stood in Jérôme. Bonaparte's face.

"Good work!" Jérôme. Bonaparte bowed slightly and said to the bureaucrats of the town hall.

Under the leadership of the bureaucrats of the town hall, Jérôme. Once again, Bonaparte visited the various offices.

And the ceremony accompanied Jérôme. Bonaparte entered the town hall after the end followed by Jérôme. Bonaparte, under the arrangement of the Minister Dico, entered a heavily fortified castle on the edge of the city of Toulon and settled down temporarily.

"Diko!" Jérôme. Bonaparte opened his mouth and said to Chancellor Dico.

"Your Majesty!" Chancellor Diko hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"Send a message to the business giants of Toulon for me!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied to Chancellor Dico.

"Your Majesty, please speak!" The Minister of Diko immediately sent a statement to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"Let's just say that I will invite them to dinner with them at the best hotel in Toulon tonight, and I hope they will not live up to my kindness!" Jérôme. Bona said a word to Chancellor Dico.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Diko nodded, then asked Jérôme. Does Bonaparte need to go to the hotel to make an appointment.

"I don't have to bother you with this!" Jérôme. Bonaparte shook his head and replied to Dicko, then turned his gaze to Valewski and said, "I'm sure Valewski can arrange it!" ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! "Diko immediately sent a message to Jérôme. Bonaparte resigned.

Subsequently, Jérôme. Bonaparte sent Valewski to the hotel to book a banquet in advance.

During the booking of the banquet, Valewski also had some trouble.

Thanks to Jérôme. Bonaparte was going to invite the business giants of the whole city of Toulon, so he needed to take over the entire hotel.

That night, however, several nobles invited friends to dinner, and several guests were already staying at the hotel.

Therefore, the hotel refused Valewski's request, and if it were not for Valewski's identity as foreign minister, he quietly told the hotel owner that the person in charge of renting the hotel was Jérôme. Emperor Bonaparte's words, then they would not have made up their minds to drive away all the guests in the hotel.

After all, anyone who can enter the hotel has a big face, and evicting one at will may have a big negative impact on the hotel.

Sure enough, after learning that the guest who had been evicted was in a rage to find the hotel manager's theory, the hotel manager had to accompany the smiling face while refunding the accommodation fee tenfold.

When a small number of guests were reluctant to ask for an explanation, the hotel made a sacrifice to Minister Valevsky.

The reluctant guests had to leave in a huff, and the head of the hotel began to prepare the food for the banquet.

As time went on, it was about 6 p.m., by which time the sky had gradually darkened and there were stars in the sky.

Under the starry sky, a horse-drawn carriage stopped at the entrance of the hotel.

A couple of couple-like guests got out of the carriage and entered the hotel arm in arm.

The manager of the hotel subconsciously wanted to evict the couple when he saw them.

When he carefully saw the appearance of the man in the couple, he hurriedly ran to him and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, welcome!" ”

That's right, the couple is none other than Jérôme. Emperor Bonaparte with Vilnia.

"Hmm!" Jérôme. Bonaparte glanced at the hotel manager, smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for half a year, you've gained a lot of weight!" ”

"This is all a blessing to Your Majesty!" The hotel manager responded flatteringly.

"It's all the result of your own efforts!" Jérôme. Bonaparte waved his hand and said, and then he seemed to think of something, and then said: "By the way, this time the bill for consumption must not be sent to the Tuileries Palace, as was the case last time!" Did you hear that? ”

"Your Majesty, it is already our blessing to be able to receive someone as honorable as you!" Hotel managers hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte said that he was not willing to send the bill to the Tuileries.

"I can't eat and drink for nothing!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied to the hotelier.

"Your Majesty, in fact, you can bring enough popularity to our hotel!" Hotel management on Jérôme. Bonaparte explained.

"Huh? Tell me, how do you do it? "Jérôme. Bonaparte asked curiously.

The hotel manager told Jérôme. Bonaparte, Jérôme. After Bonaparte invited the port of Toulon to dinner for the first time, the hotel resorted to Jérôme. Bonaparte's name introduced the Emperor's Menu, which attracted many aristocrats and big entrepreneurs (bourgeoisie) to taste it.

Hear the words of the hotelier, Jérôme. Bonaparte realized that they were using the "celebrity effect".

Although the current exchange of information is extremely underdeveloped, it does not prevent Jérôme. Bonaparte became a "national influencer".

And he went to this hotel for dinner, and the principle of "bringing goods" is the same as that of some anchors in later generations.

Jérôme who figured this out. Bonaparte laughed and scolded: "You deserve to make money!" ”

The hotelier bowed and smiled, and then took Jérôme. Bonaparte entered the room together and waited for the arrival of the invited industrial and commercial magnate.

As the carriages approached the hotel's gates, the industrial and commercial giants of the port of Toulon once again gathered to talk to each other.

The industrial and commercial giants who did not complete the brakes complained that the war ended too quickly; And the giant who caused the brakes is thinking about merger in his heart.

At 8 p.m., the feast began.

Under all the gaze, Jérôme. Bonaparte and Vilnia appeared before them.

Jérôme as the host. Bonaparte gave them a warm welcome to the hotel, and then Jérôme. Bonaparte began to discuss the problems that the armistice might bring.

"I'm calling you here to see how many of you are still expanding!" Jérôme. Bonaparte opened his mouth to ask the industrial and commercial magnates present.

Several industrial and commercial giants slowly raised their hands, followed by more and more industrial and commercial giants began to raise their hands.

To put it more closely, about 70% of the entire hall has not stopped expanding.

If industrial subsidies were to be stopped abruptly, a large part of the people's factories would be shut down and unemployed.

And the shipbuilding industry in the port of Toulon as a whole will also suffer to a certain extent because of the shutdown.

"That's it! I know! You can put it down! "Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded and waved to the crowd.

Subsequently, Jérôme. Bonaparte and the others present began to change glasses and drink and have fun.

The feast lasted until the early hours of the morning, and when everyone had left, Jérôme . With a gloomy face, Bonaparte ordered Valewski to call Diko over.
