At the end of the signing ceremony, Count Algoo once again thanked the delegates present and collected all the agreements signed by the countries and put them back on the tray.

After the attendants departed with trays containing the agreements of the nations, Jérôme. Bonaparte stood up and announced: the first agreement of the European Monetary Union ended at 2:35 p.m., and history will always remember this time, as well as every representative who signed the monetary union.

The representatives of the countries present also said that all this was led by the French Empire.

The two sides came to a complete end in a burst of hype. As is customary, Bonaparte shook hands with the representatives of each of the countries present and gave them some words of encouragement.

When Jérôme. When Bonaparte's hand was shaken with the hand of the representative of the Kingdom of Belgium, Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled and asked the Belgian delegate, "Mr. Field, how is Leopold?" ”

The Belgian representative, who is also the soon-to-be-succeeding Belgian ambassador to France, said in a speech from Jérôme Murphy. Bonaparte asked, stunned for a few seconds, and then immediately understood Jérôme. Bonaparte replied immediately: "Your Majesty, before I left, the Prince of Leopold told me that he missed the sights of Paris so much that he had arrived in Paris in the near future!" (Subtext: Prince Leopold will visit Paris in the near future to discuss coal and steel)"

"That's good!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded with satisfaction, "Please tell Leopold that his arrival is very welcome to me and my wife!" ”

"I'll be sure to bring him your words as they are!" Representative Field echoed the same sentence.

Jérôme who received a satisfactory reply. Bonaparte let go of Field's hand and shook hands with the representative of the Kingdom of Sardinia.

During the handshake, Jérôme. Bonaparte also asked about Prime Minister Cavour's recent status.

Don't know Jérôme. The representative of the Kingdom of Sardinia, the subtext of Bonaparte, replied very honestly: "Prime Minister Cavour, it's been good lately!" ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte's originally smiling face immediately became indifferent, he let go of the hand of the representative of the Kingdom of Sardinia, and responded lightly: "I hope your prime minister can get better and better!" ”

Then, under the bewildered gaze of the Kingdom of Sardinia, he shook hands with the next delegate.

After all the delegates had shaken sides, the meeting of the monetary union was completely dissolved.

The representatives of the countries, led by General Vayan, left the Louvre, and Jérôme. Bonaparte also walked alone along the corridor back to the Tuileries.

By the way, the gap between the Louvre and the Tuileries has been slammed by Jérôme. Bonaparte was connected through the corridor.

Return to the study of Jérôme. Bonaparte suddenly remembered that he had not yet dealt with the question of the ownership of the Colonial Office.

So, he immediately ordered Mocal to call the Minister of War, Montauban.

After a while, Minister Montauban arrived in his study.

"Your Majesty?" Enter the study of Montauban towards Jérôme. Bonaparte bowed in response.

"Sit down! Minister Montauban! "Jérôme. Bonaparte beckoned and invited him to sit down.

The Minister of Montauban sat down slowly in Jérôme. Opposite Bonaparte, Jérôme. Bonaparte immediately inquired about the state of affairs at the Minister of Montauban, the Ministry of War.

The Minister of Montauban replied to Jérôme in 1510. On the question of Bonaparte, especially when it came to Algiers, the Minister of Montauban did not hesitate to praise Jérôme. Bonaparte's Zhao'an strategy.

"According to the statistics of the Ministry of Colonial Affairs, since the release of the policy, nearly ten rebel forces have surrendered to our army in the whole of Algiers, of which the largest rebel force has nearly 1,000 people, and the smallest rebel force has more than 100 people!

Some of them are on the border between Morocco and Algiers, and some are in the interior of Algiers!

Our soldiers can defeat them, but they can't capture them effectively!

And your majesty, your policy does not allow us to wipe them out without much effort! "Minister Montauban to Jérôme. Bonaparte touted.

"Those who surrendered to us, how did you arrange it!" Jérôme. Bonaparte again asked the Minister of Montauban.

"We have pardoned them in accordance with your instructions, and at the same time have broken up those who have surrendered to us, mixed up the different forces, and given each of them a piece of land in the form of a foreign construction legion, and given them their legal status!" Minister Montauban to Jérôme. Bonaparte explained.

"I remember that there doesn't seem to be any surplus land in Algiers, where did your land come from?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked the Minister of Montauban.

"That's right! What we have allotted them is tribal land in the interior! If they want to gain a foothold in the fiefdom, they must rely on our support to succeed! "Minister Montauban to Jérôme. Bonaparte explained.

Having heard Montauban's explanation, Jérôme. Bonaparte couldn't help but feel indignant.

Who said that the Ministry of War is all coarse! The ability of people to provoke the indigenous people has reached the point of perfection.

"You're doing a great job!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded in satisfaction, and then said nakedly: "For those stubborn people who are stubborn and unwilling to submit to the indoctrination of France! It is necessary to carry out a resolute dictatorship, and not let them breathe again!

And we should also give appropriate encouragement to those who are willing to obey the leadership of France. ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! "Minister Montauban to Jérôme. Bonaparte replied.

Next, Jérôme. Bonaparte tactfully asked the Minister of Montauban what he thought of the Colonial Office.

Montauban where did not understand Jérôme. Bonaparte meant, but whenever His Majesty the Emperor says what he thinks about the xx department, it means that this department will either take off on the spot or die on the spot.

Judging from His Majesty the Emperor's attitude towards colonization, it is likely that the Ministry of Colonial Affairs is not among the ranks that died in place.

The Minister of Montauban, who had roughly determined the attitude of His Majesty the Emperor in his heart, rightly addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte replied: "Your Majesty, I think with the expansion of the French colony!" The Ministry of Colonial Affairs should not be a subordinate department of the Ministry of War, but a department on a par with the Ministry of War! ”

"I didn't expect that, you think the same way!!" Jérôme. Bonaparte deliberately pretended to be surprised and said to the Minister of Montauban: "I also think that the Ministry of Colonial Affairs should not be subordinate to the Ministry of War, because colonization itself is not only to use violence to govern those backward peoples, but also to use indoctrination to mobilize those peoples, so that they can sincerely identify with our culture, and even identify themselves as French." ”

Although it is said that France has become a green and black black chicken in later generations, it is undeniable that France has really educated more West Africa than any other region in Britain.

Many of the region's political leaders are proud of France, and the school curriculum in West Africa is still kept in French, and even the currency issued in West Africa is the CFA franc.

According to the concept of the East, France is the Celestial Empire for West Africa, and they are the vassal states of France.

It is precisely this kind of "tributary" relationship that will make France, even if it was forcibly dismembered by the United States and the Soviet Union like Britain, and not completely fall to the bottom like Britain, and become a country that can only rely on the United States to exist.

Even if France in later generations is pulling its crotch, it is also a country under Central America. (The Russian Empire has to be lowered a notch due to the Russian-Ukrainian war)

And all of this depended on France's policy of both unification and rule of the colonies.

A policy of strict military administration in the colonies, or a policy of letting the colonies go and collecting money, did not suit France.

Therefore, the Ministry of Colonial Affairs could not remain subordinate to the Ministry of War, it had to become a department of France.

"Your Majesty, what you said is not wrong at all!" Minister Montauban nodded approvingly.

In any case, he was already destined to run to Algiers as governor, and the independence of the Ministry of Colonial Affairs did not have much to do with him.

Rather than disobey the emperor on this issue, it is better to submit to the emperor's form of will.

Moreover, even if he continued to serve as Minister of War, he would not be able to stop His Majesty the Emperor's actions.

As long as His Majesty the Emperor wanted to, it was impossible for anyone or department to stop him.

"Since it is said that the Ministry of Colonial Affairs wants to become independent, then it will inevitably have a minister after independence, do you have any recommended candidates?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Montauban.

"Your Majesty, it's not good for me to decide this issue!" Montauban politely declined.

"What's so bad!" Jérôme. Bonaparte waved his hand and replied to Montauban: "You are still the Minister of War, and the Ministry of Colonial Affairs is still under your jurisdiction!" ”

"That ......" Montauban hesitated for a moment before turning to Jérôme. Bonaparte replied, "De. How about General Castellane? ”

"What? You are afraid that people will resent you for robbing him of the governor of Algiers, so you brought it up! "Jérôme. Bonaparte asked the Minister of Montauban, half-jokingly.

"There's a reason for that!" Chancellor Montauban replied frankly, "However, I think that de . . . General Castellane has the ability to do a good job as a colonial minister! ”

"Okay! I know! "Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded to Minister Montauban.

Originally Jérôme. Bona planned to pacify Germany with the promotion of marshal + entry into the Senate. General Castellane lost the resentment of the governor of Algiers.

Since Montauban recommended De. Castellane served as Minister of the Colonial Department, and Jérôme. Bonaparte placed the boat in this position.

After all, the Reich Marshal was far more precious than the post of Minister of the Colonial Department.

Jérôme. Bonaparte believed that if de . If General Castellane knew that it was Montauban who had "lost" his position as marshal, he would have resented Montauban even more.
