Make France Great Again

After the signing ceremony, Count Algu once again expressed his gratitude to the representatives of various countries present. At the same time, he collected all the agreements signed by various countries and put them back on the tray.

After the attendants left with the tray containing the agreements of various countries, Jérôme Bonaparte stood up and announced: The first European Monetary Union Agreement ended at 2:35 pm, and history will always remember this time, and Every delegate who signed the Monetary Union.

Representatives from various countries present also said that all this was due to the good leadership of the French Empire.

The two sides came to an end in a burst of praise. Jérôme Bonaparte shook hands with the representatives of every country present as usual and gave them some encouraging words.

When Jérôme Bonaparte's hand held the hand of the representative of the Kingdom of Belgium, Jérôme Bonaparte smiled and asked the Belgian representative: "Mr. Field, how is Leopold doing lately?"

Field, the Belgian representative and the upcoming Belgian ambassador to France, was stunned for a few seconds after hearing Jerome Bonaparte's question. Then he immediately understood what Jerome Bonaparte meant, and he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, before I left, Crown Prince Leopold once told me that he missed the scenery of Paris very much, so he arrived in Paris in the near future! (Subtext: Crown Prince Leopold will visit Paris in the near future to discuss with him coal and steel issues)”

"That's good!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded with satisfaction, "Please tell Leopold that my wife and I very much welcome his arrival!"

"I will definitely bring your words to him exactly as they are!" Representative Field also responded.

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Jerome Bonaparte let go of Field's hand and shook hands with representatives of the Kingdom of Sardinia.

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

The representative of the Kingdom of Sardinia, who did not understand the subtext of Jérôme Bonaparte, replied very honestly: "Prime Minister Cavour, you are doing very well recently!"

Jerome Bonaparte's originally smiling face immediately turned cold. He let go of the hand of the representative of the Kingdom of Sardinia and responded lightly: "I hope your Prime Minister will get better and better!"

Then, with the Kingdom of Sardinia looking confused, he shook hands with the next representative.

After all representatives have shaken hands, the Monetary Union meeting is completely dissolved.

The representatives of various countries left the Louvre under the leadership of General Vaillant, and Jérôme Bonaparte also walked alone along the corridor back to the Tuileries Palace.

By the way, the Louvre and the Tuileries have been connected through a corridor by the stingy Jérôme Bonaparte.

Returning to his study, Jérôme Bonaparte suddenly remembered that he had not yet dealt with the issue of the ownership of the Department of Colonial Affairs.

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

After a while, Minister Montauban arrived in the study.

"Your Majesty?" Montauban entered the study and bowed to Jerome Bonaparte in response. .

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

Minister Montauban slowly sat across from Jerome Bonaparte. Jerome Bonaparte immediately asked Minister Montauban about the current situation of the Ministry of War.

Minister Montauban answered Jérôme Bonaparte's questions in detail, especially when talking about Algiers. Minister Montauban praised Jérôme Bonaparte's edict without hesitation. Security strategy.

"According to statistics from the Department of Colonial Affairs, from the release of the policy to now, nearly ten rebel forces in Algiers have surrendered to our army. The largest rebel force has nearly 1,000 people, and the smallest rebel force has more than 100 people!

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

Although our soldiers were able to defeat them, they were unable to effectively capture them!

And Your Majesty's policy does not allow us to catch them all without any effort! "Minister Montauban praised Jérôme Bonaparte.

"How did you arrange those who surrendered to us!" Jérôme Bonaparte asked Minister Montauban again.

"We followed your instructions and pardoned them. At the same time, we broke up the forces that surrendered to us. People from different forces were mixed together. We gave each of them a piece of land in the form of a foreign construction corps and gave them legal status as a gift!" Minister Montauban explained to Jerome Bonaparte.

"I remember that there seems to be no extra land in Algiers. Where did your land come from?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked Minister Montauban.

"That's right! The lands we allocated to them are all tribal lands in the interior! If they want to gain a foothold on the enfeoffed lands, they must rely on our support to succeed!" Minister Montauban told Jérôme Bonnard Tomoe explained.

After hearing Montauban's explanation, Jérôme Bonaparte couldn't help but feel relieved.

Who says the War Department is all rough and tumble? His ability to instigate the aborigines against the aborigines has reached the point of proficiency.

"You have done a good job!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded with satisfaction, and then said nakedly: "For those die-hards who are stubborn and unwilling to obey the teachings of French education! We must implement a resolute dictatorship and cannot Let them breathe again!

And we must also give appropriate encouragement to those who are willing to obey France's leadership. "

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

Next, Jérôme Bonaparte tactfully asked Minister Montauban his views on the Department of Colonial Affairs.

Montauban didn't understand what Jérôme Bonaparte meant. Whenever His Majesty the Emperor expressed his views on the xx department, it meant that this department would either take off where it stood or die where it stood.

Judging from His Majesty the Emperor's attitude towards colonization, there is a high probability that the Colonial Affairs Department will not be among those who died where they were.

Minister Montauban, who had roughly confirmed His Majesty the Emperor's attitude, replied righteously to Jérôme Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, I think that with the expansion of the French colonies! The Department of Colonial Affairs should not be a subordinate department of the Ministry of War. , but to become a department on par with the War Department!"

"Unexpectedly, you think so too!!" Jérôme Bonaparte deliberately pretended to be surprised and said to Minister Montauban: "I also think that the Department of Colonial Affairs should not be affiliated with the Ministry of War. Because colonization itself is not only about using violence to govern those backward ethnic groups, we also need to use education to mobilize those ethnic groups 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's education in West Africa far exceeds that of any other region in Britain.

Many political figures in West Africa are proud of France. School courses in West Africa are still in French, and even the currency issued in West Africa is also the CFA franc.

If we follow the concept of the East, France is a celestial country to West Africa, and they are considered a vassal state of France.

It was this kind of "tributary" relationship that prevented France from completely falling to the bottom like the United Kingdom, even if it was forcibly dismembered by the United States and the Soviet Union like the United Kingdom, and became a country that could only exist by relying on the United States.

Even if France in later generations is pulling its hips, it is still a country below China and the United States. (The Russian Empire needs to be downgraded due to the Russo-Ukrainian War)

And everything depends on France's policy of both dominating and governing the colonies.

The policy of blindly implementing strict military management in the colonies, or the policy of blindly laissez-faire and just collecting money are not suitable for France.

Therefore, the Colonial Affairs Department could not remain under the Ministry of War. It had to become a department of France.

"Your Majesty, you are absolutely right!" Minister Montauban nodded in agreement.

In any case, he was destined to go to Algiers to serve as governor. The Colonial Affairs Department was independent and had little to do with him.

Rather than disobeying the emperor on this issue, it is better to obey the emperor's will.

Furthermore, even if he continues to serve as Minister of War, it is impossible for him to stop His Majesty the Emperor's actions.

As long as His Majesty the Emperor wants to, no one or any department can stop him.

"Since the Ministry of Colonial Affairs is said to be independent, it must have a minister after independence. Do you have any recommendations?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked Montauban.

"Your Majesty, it would be inappropriate for me to decide this issue!" Montauban declined.

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

"Then..." Montauban hesitated for a moment and replied to Jérôme Bonaparte: "How about General de Castellane?"

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

"That's the reason!" Minister Montauban replied candidly, "However, I think General de Castellane is capable of doing a good job as colonial minister!"

"Okay! I understand!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded and said to Minister Montauban.

Originally, Jérôme Bonnet planned to use promotion to marshal + induction into the Senate to quell General de Castellane's resentment for losing the Governor of Algiers.

Since Montauban recommended de Castellane as Minister of Colonial Affairs, Jérôme Bonaparte would take advantage of the situation and arrange for him to be in this position.

After all, the title of Marshal of the Empire was far more valuable than the position of Secretary of the Colonial Office.

Jérôme Bonaparte believed that if General de Castellane knew that Montauban had "lost" his position as marshal, he would be even more resentful of Montauban.
