In the evening of the same day, representatives of various countries except the Kingdom of Greece got Jérôme at the Tuileries Palace. Bonaparte and Empress Augusta received them warmly.

Not only that, but after the dinner, the delegates were in turn called to a room by the head of the royal family, Mocal.

Just as the delegates wondered why Mocal had called him alone, Mocal sent Jérôme to the club. The "gifts" that Bonaparte had prepared in advance met their hands.

Due to the different personality traits of each representative, Jérôme. The gifts that Bonaparte prepared for them were also very different.

For example, the Kingdom of Württemberg was given a saber encrusted with diamonds, the Kingdom of Switzerland was given a small piece of pale green jadeite, and the Swiss was given an Imperial Medal made of gold (the Swiss representative was a well-known Francophile)......

The delegates who received the gifts generally showed a look of astonishment, and then rejected the gifts from the Tuileries Palace.

Because for them, it was already a blessing that the French Empire did not share gifts with him, and how dare they accept the gifts of the French Empire.

"Take it! This is something that Your Majesty has specially asked me to give you! Mokal said the exact same thing to every delegate he called into the room: "If you don't take it, then Your Majesty will be displeased!" ”

The delegates "reluctantly" accepted the gifts from the Tuileries and offered their respects to Jérôme. Emperor Bonaparte expressed his gratitude.

After all the delegates had left the Tuileries Palace, Jérôme. Bonaparte called Mocal again and asked him about the gift.

"Your Majesty, all the delegates have already accepted all the gifts!" Mocal respectfully addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte replied, "I think they will do their best for you!" ”

"How do you say it's for me!" Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled slightly, "The reason why I established the European Monetary Union is not to unite the whole of Europe!"

Joining the Monetary Union is only good for them, no harm! ”

"It's the minister who lost his words just now!" Mocal hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte apologized.

"By the way, did you ask about the things I asked you to ask!" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Mocal again.

Mocal was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that His Majesty seemed to have asked him, after meeting with the Belgian delegates, whether the Kingdom of Belgium had any different opinion on the Coal and Steel Community.

After all, nearly half a year has passed.

The Belgian side never replied to Jérôme. Bonaparte, Jérôme. Bonaparte wondered if Leopold II was preparing to pigeon him.

"Your Majesty, I ......" Mokal had a slightly embarrassed expression on his face.

After seeing Mocal's expression, Jérôme. Bonaparte immediately understood that Mocal had forgotten to ask.

Jérôme. There was a hint of disappointment in Bonaparte's eyes, Mocal had been with him for about six or seven years, and he didn't expect that he would forget even this little thing.

I might really want to consider a new manager!

The idea of replacing the head of the house was in Jérôme. Bonaparte's heart flashed.

"Your Majesty, I'll go now!"

In order to redeem Jérôme. Bonaparte's mental image of Mocal hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte replied.

"Forget it!" Jérôme. Bonaparte waved his hand expressionlessly and said to Mocal: "I will personally inquire about this matter!" ”

"Yes!" Mocal nodded at Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

……

Early the next morning, the newspapers in Paris published the progress of the monetary union and the attitude of the participating countries towards it.

Among them, the "Bonaparte Newspaper" said: The convening of the monetary union means that more and more European countries have begun to identify with the French Empire, and they are eager to join a new system built by the French Empire, and contribute to the maintenance of peace and development throughout Europe.

The reason why those countries who aspire to join the French Empire system have such confidence in France is because the French Empire has a qualified person at the helm - Jérôme. Emperor Bonaparte.

In Jérôme. Under the leadership of Emperor Bonaparte, the entire French people not only swept away the humiliation brought by two generations of Bourbons, but also were able to proudly proclaim themselves to the outside world as a glorious Frenchman.

Therefore, France could not do without Jérôme. Emperor Bonaparte.

At the end of the article, Le Bonaparte also called on all French citizens to join in silently wishing the emperor in their hearts.

……

The Nation's attitude towards the monetary union is one of relative neutrality.

The National newspaper first affirmed that the signing of the monetary union would bring trade and tourism convenience to the French Empire and promote the development of France.

At the same time, there are some complaints about the French Empire using its gold reserves to endorse other countries.

The National newspaper believed that the 1:15 ratio of gold and silver stipulated by the monetary union would sooner or later make France suffer.

In the unlikely event that other countries consciously sell their silver for gold coins when the gold-silver ratio increases (France's 1:15 will not be shaken if it does not increase to a certain limit), then France's gold reserves will be at risk of being maliciously shorted.

……

In short, the entire French press gave a positive assessment of the monetary union.

At 1 p.m., delegates arrived at the Louvre Gate again.

This time, when they arrived at the gate of the Louvre, they did not encounter the phenomenon of being chased and intercepted by reporters like the last time.

And this time it was Jérôme who was in charge of greeting them. Bonaparte's adjutant, General Vayan.

"Everyone, please come with me!" General Vayan said a word to the delegates present.

The delegates followed General Wayan to the conference hall.

When the delegates arrived at the conference hall, they were surprised to find that Count Argou had a relationship with Jérôme. Bonaparte was already waiting in the hall.

"Delegates, please be seated!" Count Argyu smiled and said to everyone present.

The delegates took their seats according to the seats they had arranged the day before, and then the meeting officially began.

This time, instead of giving an opening speech, as was the case last time, Count Argyu went straight to the point and asked the delegates if they would like to join the European Monetary Union.

"The Kingdom of Württemberg agrees to join!" The representative of the Kingdom of Württemberg was the first to raise his hand.

This was followed by the representative of the Swiss Confederation: "The Swiss Confederation, agree to join the European currency ventilation!" ”

Seeing that Württemberg and Switzerland had agreed to join the European Monetary Union, the representative of Sardinia also raised his hand and said to Count Argou: "Kingdom of Sardinia, willing to join!" ”

The statements of the three countries made the rest of the countries no longer hesitate.

"Kingdom of Belgium, ready to join the European Monetary Union! Contribute to the European economy! ”

"The Papal States, willing to join the European Monetary Union!"

"The kingdoms of Silesia, willing to join the Monetary Alliance!"

"The Kingdom of Denmark, willing to join the monetary union."

……

"Kingdom of Greece, willing to join the Monetary Union!"

The representatives of the Kingdom of Greece, who had hesitated yesterday, also raised their hands to join after being given a cold reception at the Tuileries Palace.

After Count Algu glanced at the representative of the Greek Kingdom, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Since you are all willing to join the monetary alliance, please sign the name of your country under the agreement!" ”

With that, Count Algour clapped his hands gently, and a squire entered the room with solemn steps, dragging in his hand an aluminium tray on which were the documents of the monetary union agreement.

The squire crossed the Count of Argour and came to Jérôme. Bonaparte in front of him, and then put the tray on with both hands.

Jérôme. Bonaparte stood up solemnly, took the documents of the monetary agreement from the tray, and went to the round table.

"This is a document of the monetary alliance agreement drawn up by the imperial government, and every clause on the document has been written after we have carefully weighed the pros and cons, and this agreement is the basis for mutual benefit between France and you!

Delegates must take a closer look at the troublesome documents and point out immediately which clause is what is wrong with it!

The French Empire will definitely revise it at its discretion! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said with a hint of majesty to the delegates present.

Subsequently, Jérôme. Bonaparte sent the agreement to each of the delegates.

As soon as each of the delegates got the agreement, they began to look through its contents, and they wanted to see how different they were from what Count Argoo had said.

Soon, the sound of turning pages resounded throughout the conference hall. Bonaparte and Count Argou waited quietly for everyone present to finish reading.

After about three minutes, the representative of the Kingdom of Württemberg asked Count Algu for a quill pen to sign.

Count Algü immediately ordered the quill and ink to be found, and during this time when the quills and ink arrived, Count Algüd explained to the ambassador of the Kingdom of Württemberg the time when the monetary union would come into force.

"The Monetary Union, which entered into force on September 11, 1855, will dissolve itself on January 1, 1870! If, after January 1, 1870, no country has withdrawn, the treaty will be extended for 15 years, on January 1, 1885!

Representative Württemberg, what do you think? ”

"Yes!" The representative of the Kingdom of Württemberg replied lightly, then took a quill pen, dipped it in ink twice, and wrote the name of his country at the end of the agreement.

Four minutes later, the Kingdom of Sardinia and the Swiss Confederation had also read the agreement and signed it.

This was followed by Belgium, Sweden, Naples (Kingdom of the Two Sicilies), Denmark and Greece.

After everyone had signed the agreement, Count Argoo also signed it.
