Make France Great Again-Chapter 186: The Jewish Threat Theory

After Count Algou left, Marcel Yale stealthily infiltrated the Elysee Palace to report the intelligence from the Rothschild Mansion to Jerome Bonaparte.

After listening to Marcel Yale’s report, Jerome Bonaparte was slightly surprised. Sitting in his chair, he got up and paced back and forth twice, then looked up and asked, "How are those people now?"

"They have been completely controlled by our people!" Marcel Yale responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Well done!" Jerome Bonaparte patted Marcel Yale on the shoulder approvingly.

Marcel Yale, receiving praise, also smiled.

"After this matter is concluded, I will separate your department from the Ministry of Internal Affairs! You will become a department directly under the Elysee Palace! At that time, your name will also be adjusted accordingly!" Jerome Bonaparte promised Marcel Yale, preparing to separate the regular police and special police within the Police Department to prevent the department from being top-heavy.

The regular police under the Police Department would be used to maintain national security, while the special police, akin to Mossad and the KGB, would infiltrate other countries, collecting strategic information and intentions through various means, thereby ensuring France’s security both domestically and abroad.

To avoid arousing the distaste of the French people toward secret police, Jerome Bonaparte decided to announce the establishment of the National Intelligence Agency after the department’s formation, purportedly to safeguard France’s information security.

By then, Marcel Yale would become France’s intelligence chief after Fouché.

Although Marcel Yale’s abilities were considerably inferior to Fouché’s, the scope of his duties was also much narrower.

If Marcel Yale couldn’t even handle this, Jerome Bonaparte would consider dismissing him as a favor to him.

Marcel Yale looked at Jerome Bonaparte with excitement, promising to pledge unwavering loyalty to the President and never forget his guidance.

"Understood! Now have your men release those apprehended from James Rothschild’s house! Let them complete what they haven’t finished yet," Jerome Bonaparte instructed Marcel Yale.

"Mr. President, you don’t need to..." Halfway through his words, Marcel Yale clammed up, knowing some words were improper from his position as the "spy chief."

"No need!" Jerome Bonaparte shook his head, "I need them to monitor Baron James Rothschild’s every movement. Their value is not something to be squandered all at once!"

"Yes!" Marcel Yale nodded in response.

"Alright! You should be going back now!" Jerome Bonaparte dismissed Marcel Yale.

"Yes!"

Eagerly driven by ambition under the cover of night, Marcel Yale left the Elysee Palace, intending to use James Rothschild’s downfall as a stepping stone for his promotion.

Alone in the Elysee Palace, Jerome Bonaparte moved to the window, gazing at the tranquil Paris in the distance. The cold wind biting his face dispelled his drowsiness: "Thiers, you should make the right choice, shouldn’t you?"

...

Puevert Street, Adolphe Thiers’ Mansion.

"What? The Baron wants to dethrone Jerome Bonaparte from the presidency?" In the mansion, Thiers looked in surprise at the Baron’s steward.

"That’s right! Senator Thiers, my master wishes to utilize your power to overthrow Jerome Bonaparte; he’s been too reckless!" The Baron’s steward reiterated James Rothschild’s message to Thiers.

The "alliance" with Baron James Rothschild delighted Adolphe Thiers; all of Paris knew James Rothschild’s wealth, and with his support, toppling Jerome Bonaparte shouldn’t be too difficult.

After a brief moment of joy, Adolphe Thiers grew wary again. A banker interfering with the presidency was not a good sign. For Thiers, who aspired to become the French Dictator, bankers should merely serve as tools for the government to make money, leaving policymaking to them, the elite class.

"If I may ask, does the Baron have any conflict with the President?" Inquired Adolphe Thiers, who was unaware of the events at the Elysee Palace.

"It’s like this..." The Baron’s steward relayed the information he heard from Baron James Rothschild to Adolphe Thiers.

"The President is truly..." After hearing it, Adolphe Thiers was somewhat shocked, inwardly admiring Jerome Bonaparte’s actions as he dared to achieve what he had always wanted but did not accomplish.

Bankers should have been reined in long ago!

Even though Senator Thiers had accepted considerable sums from bankers during his tenure as Prime Minister, he was never soft on them when it was time to take action.

"I deeply regret the tragedy at the Baron’s home!" Thiers responded to the Baron’s steward with standard political formalities.

"Senator Thiers, are you unwilling to help the Baron overthrow Jerome Bonaparte?" The personal steward queried Thiers in confusion.

"Sir, if I may speak frankly! Does your Baron have the military forces around the suburbs of Paris to back him?" Thiers directly referenced the troops outside the city in response to the personal steward.

"Ah?" The baron’s steward was obviously startled by Thiers’ words, and he responded anxiously, "The army... Surely the army can’t help the President control us!"

"That might not be the case!" Thiers flashed a meaningful smile, "You just mentioned that at the President’s banquet, not only bankers were invited, but also military men! Steward, that’s an army of 60,000! If they take action, how long do you think your baron can hold out? A month? A day? Or an hour?"

Recalling everything the army did outside Paris last June, the baron’s steward couldn’t help but shiver. He looked towards Thiers and inquired, "Mr. Thiers, what do you think my master should do now?"

"Although I also want to overthrow Jerome Bonaparte, right now we can only wait for Jerome Bonaparte to abdicate voluntarily!" Thiers shrugged and responded helplessly.

"What if the President is unwilling to step down?" The baron’s steward asked Thiers.

"Then we will impeach him through the Legislative Assembly!" Thiers replied.

"He is very likely to overthrow the Legislative Assembly! Just like his uncle did back then!" The baron’s steward warned Thiers.

Thiers was silent for a moment, then responded again, "Then we can only wait for God to punish him. Believe me, the Parisians have always been fickle!"

Understanding that Thiers placed his hopes on the Parisians, the baron’s steward was convinced he couldn’t persuade him, and the plan to have the Legislative Assembly confront the President head-on was a failure.

"In that case, Mr. Thiers, I shall take my leave!" The baron’s steward took his leave from Thiers.

Thiers escorted the baron’s steward to the door to see him off.

The unwilling baron’s steward did not immediately return to Baron James Rothschild’s residence but went to the mansion of another Order Party magnate, Audion Barrot.

The newly asleep Audion Barrot was awakened by the baron’s steward’s knock, lit the gas lamp and got dressed.

The servant reported the arrival of the baron’s steward to Audion Barrot, and Audion Barrot ordered the servant to invite the baron’s steward to the living room for a talk.

After the baron’s steward explained his purpose to Audion Barrot, Audion Barrot also refused Baron James Rothschild’s invitation.

The baron’s steward had no choice but to leave Audion Barrot’s mansion dejectedly.

After the baron’s steward left, Audion Barrot ordered his secretary to inform Ferdinand Barrot, the Minister of Internal Affairs, of the steward’s visit.

Audion Barrot’s secretary ran to Ferdinand Barrot’s home overnight to deliver the message to Fernand Barrot.

Receiving the message, Ferdinand Barrot quickly dressed and headed to the Elysee Palace to report the news to the President.

Riding a carriage to the Elysee Palace, Ferdinand Barrot found that the Elysee Palace was still brightly lit around 3 a.m.

Entering the courtyard of the Elysee Palace, Ferdinand Barrot was led by Wardley to a reception room.

Ferdinand Barrot was surprised to find Jerome Bonaparte, Percy, Achille Fuld, Mane, Renio, Saint Arno, Mornay all present there.

"Mr. Ferdinand, you’re here!" Jerome Bonaparte said with a smile to Ferdinand Barrot.

"Mr. President..." Ferdinand Barrot reported to Jerome Bonaparte the matter of the baron’s steward visiting his brother Audion Barrot.

"I understand!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded to Ferdinand Barrot. He realized that even though Audion Barrot wasn’t on his side, he was at least helping him.

Subsequently, Jerome Bonaparte invited Ferdinand Barrot to discuss how to deal with James Rothschild.

That night, neither Thiers, Audion Barrot, Jerome Bonaparte, Baron James Rothschild nor Jerome Bonaparte’s close allies slept.

The next morning.

The Paris newspapers, deeply influenced by Jerome Bonaparte, overwhelmingly indoctrinated the Parisians with the "Rothschild Clan’s conspiracy to control France."

"Extra! Extra! The latest ’Observer’!"

Newsboys roamed the streets bringing the newspapers to every gentleman in Paris.

At the same time, a booklet titled "Currency War - Rothschild Dynasty" also appeared in the streets.

Many people who had never met Baron James Rothschild came to recognize this "Financial Emperor" within a day.
