After listening to General Vajan's explanation, everyone present also had a certain understanding of the huge expenses of the French Army.

"The army is the place where France is based, and we must not afford to slack off in this area! The slightest slackness and we may be overtaken! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said to the crowd with a solemn expression, "I hope you will understand that our world is not a static world.

It is changing rapidly all the time, and blindly clinging to the defects will be abandoned by this era.

The Russian Empire is not a typical example, and the reason why they were defeated by our troops in the Crimean battlefield was not because of the cowardice of their soldiers. ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte paused for a moment, then went on to speak in an impassioned tone to the crowd: "Imagine how a cowardly people can expand its territory from a corner of Moscow to the present territory.

On the contrary, each of their soldiers was the best soldier like France, but with good soldiers, they had an administrative apparatus and mobilization system that did not match the good soldiers.

Soldiers don't get enough food on the front lines, and generals just stay in the headquarters and look at old maps...... I used to look at the maps of the Russian army, and they didn't even have a box in a British magazine, while our General Staff had already produced a map of the Near East with the greatest clarity available today!

That's why they failed...... If our armies stand still, then we will only be overtaken by those who come after us.

Vayan, you have to remember that there is no eternal military power in this world.

The reason why France has been able to get to this point is because countless generals and soldiers have exchanged their lives for it.

Therefore, I will never allow anyone to stand in any way the way of France's progress! ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte spoke loudly and loudly, winning the warm applause of the Minister of Vayan.

Although the Minister Vayan did not understand why the Emperor gave people an inexplicable sense of urgency every time he mentioned military reform, as if someone was chasing after him, the Minister was glad that the army had a second commander.

Vaillants, who had climbed from the ranks of the army to the position of minister, knew the French army too well, and if the French army was not managed by a tough attitude, then they would quickly fall into it.

On the other hand, if there is a hard-liner soul in the army, then the French army will be reborn.

Soon, the ministers who reacted were again for Jérôme. Bonaparte applauded this remark.

The applause lasted for a while before it ended.

"That's it! That's all I have to say, Minister Wayan! Sit down first! "Jérôme. Bonaparte motioned with his hand that General Vayan could sit down.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Minister Vayan to Jérôme. After Bonaparte saluted, he sat down again.

Then, Jérôme. Bonaparte continued to say to all the people present: "Ministers, please promise me! Now, no matter if my speech is good or bad, don't applaud it anymore!

If this continues, it will be difficult for us to complete the summary in one morning. ”

Everyone present was very interested in Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded in understanding, and then Jérôme. Bonaparte set his sights on Admiral Dico.

"Chancellor Dico, you can get started!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied to Chancellor Dico.

Chancellor Diko immediately stood up straight and said to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded: "Yes, Your Majesty! ”

Subsequently, Minister Diko sent a letter to Jérôme. Bonaparte reported on the expenditures of the Imperial French Navy in 1855.

The Imperial French Navy spent a total of 150 million francs last year, equivalent to one-third of the entire French army.

"By the end of December 1855, we had four ships under construction, one of which was a new ironclad to enhance the deterrent power of the French Navy in the Mediterranean!

The remaining three are foreign trade warships, two of which were commissioned by the Ottoman Empire and one by the Kingdom of Sweden.

The three foreign trade warships are a generation later than the new ironclad ships......" Minister Diko said to the crowd present.

After Minister Dick finished speaking, Rem. Bonaparte opened his mouth and said to the crowd, "Chancellor Dico has shown me the drawings of the new ironclad ship he speaks of, and the data on the drawings shows that it is indeed a good ship.

However, I hope that your drawings will match the real thing.

Don't drawings are one piece of data, in fact another data.

Of course, it's even better if your actual data is better than the data on the drawing. ”

"Your Majesty, please rest assured!" Minister Diko hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte assured, "The actual data is definitely better than the data on the drawings!" ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled and replied to Chancellor Dico: "That's good! Minister Dico, I look forward to your surprise for me!

Now you can sit back! ”

"Yes!" Chancellor Diko returned to his old position.

Immediately afterwards, the Minister of the Interior (Chancellor) Percini was also replaced by Jérôme. Bonaparte fell out.

Although the current Ministry of the Interior (which can also be called the Ministry of Internal Affairs) is in Jérôme. Bonaparte had lost some of his functions under the weakening of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (the functions of the National Intelligence Service should not have been rudely part of the Ministry of the Interior), but he still had control of the vast ranks of the Imperial police, gendarmerie, firefighters, and urban management.

It can be said that the entire cabinet is second only to Minister of State Fulder, Minister of the Seals Morni (Morny's Minister of Seals has no rights, but the power of the Secretariat that he also serves as is huge), the Minister of War Vayan (Vayan does not have much power, but he and Niel have rights together), the Minister of Justice Ruie (Ruai has received a lot of power from Jérôme. Bonaparte's trust, who served as the "executive emperor", so the power should not be underestimated), the fifth minister.

Pesini heard Jérôme. After Bonaparte's order, he likewise rose up to Jérôme. Bonaparte reported on the work done by the Ministry of the Interior in the last year.

This includes, but is not limited to, arresting criminals, mediating markets, eliminating fires, fighting floods, etc., and the completion rate is not bad.

"Good!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded with satisfaction, and then encouraged: "I hope that your Ministry of the Interior will continue to work hard in the new year and strive to do better!" ”

After Pessini sat down, Jérôme. Bonaparte called Montalembell, the Minister of Education, and asked him about the education of the Empire.

Montalembert told Jérôme. In the last year alone, Bonaparte has built hundreds of new schools in France under the jurisdiction of the Church, which will provide thousands of excellent students to France every year.

What's more, the cost of these students in school does not require much investment from the French government, and most of the expenses are paid by the church.

Jérôme. Bonaparte and the people present did not understand that the church wanted to cultivate more people who were inclined to the church by establishing church schools.

Most of these expenses were paid for by the banks set up by Rome in France.

After all, the Papal States also needed to produce a group of church-inclined students so that they could influence government support for the Papal States.

"Thank you to the church on my behalf!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied to Montalembert, "Our society needs more and more zealous organizations like the Church, which can share some of the difficulties of our government. ”

Montalembert smiled slightly, then nodded.

"That's it! Minister Montalember, you may sit down! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said a word to Montalembert.

After Montalembert took his seat, Jérôme. Bonaparte then named the next minister.

A minister in Jérôme. On the orders of Bonaparte began to state the situation of their development in 1855.

When everyone is done, Jérôme. Bonaparte set his sights on Baron Haussmann, the high-ranking official of the Seine, who was sitting in the last position.

As the first person to attend the Interior Council at the ministerial level as a senior official, George Murphy was the first person to attend the Interior Council at the ministerial level. Baron Haussmann can be said to be highly influenced by Jérôme. Bonaparte's trust.

[PS: According to common sense, the senior officials of various departments are more important than the ministers, and their direct counterpart should be the Minister of the Interior.

Due to the special geographical location of Paris, Jérôme. Bonaparte raised Baron Ottoman by half a rank in the administrative ranks.

He was allowed to participate in the Council of Ministers, but only to sit at the end.

Moreover, the senior officials of the Seine province do not have to report to the Ministry of the Interior, but directly to Jérôme. Bonaparte. 】

"Baron Ottoman, get up and say a few words!" Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled at Osman, and then added.

"Your Majesty!" The Ottoman baron obeyed Jérôme. Bonaparte's order, he got up and reported to everyone present the progress of the transformation of the Paris district.

"Deceived Kangxi"

"By December of last year, almost a third of the entire Paris district had been transformed (and this is the Paris before the expansion, which is bigger than before!). The banks of the Seine have been almost completely renovated...... "Baron Haussmann proudly said to Jérôme. Bonaparte reported on the impressive achievements of Paris and told Jérôme that he had achieved a good job. Bonaparte, along with his colleagues present, did not spend much money on the renovation of Paris (the government and the city government contributed a total of 300 million francs).

He hoped that in this way he would be able to get Jérôme. Bonaparte appointed him Minister of Public Works, or changed his Seine Provincial Governor to Minister of Paris.
