229 The Closing Jacobins (for 200(1/2)

The bigwigs in the Paris financial capital industry present were very clear. After Li Wei entered Paris, they would welcome the terrifying commercial monopoly beast of Wallace Business Alliance!

This is an "imperial merchant"!

Even if these bigwigs in the Paris financial capital industry want to surrender to Li Wei, if they fail to take the lead, they can only be their younger brother to Wallace, and even offer a letter of vote. Capital shrinking is inevitable!

These bigwigs in the financial capital industry, who originally planned to control the printing and issuance rights of the francs, gradually swallowed up the French economic system, are now facing a dilemma.

"I won't say anything extra nonsense, everyone knows the specific situation in their hearts.

Instead of expecting Robert Spear to create a miracle to defeat Levi, we should choose another way of retreat.

The turning point of the Paris Defense War promoted by Robert Spear, I don’t believe in a single word. What do you think?”

"Yes, we all know what happened in Paris. Judging from the achievements of the Revolutionary Army in the past fighting against the Black Dragon Legion, the probability of victory in the Paris Defense War as Robert Spear promotes is not more than 10%.

I don't want to block my life for less than 10% of the probability."

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

…………

The leading tycoon of the Paris financial capital industry smiled and nodded after seeing that everyone gave up Robert Spear.

"Since everyone has no objection, let's take away our wealth as much as possible while Li Wei and his Black Dragon Legion have not yet arrived.

Have you ever thought about which country to go to?”

"The anti-French alliance has not yet been dissolved. I guess even if France truly achieves unity, war will easily break out between it and the anti-French alliance. At that time, we French people will probably not have any good endings among the members of the anti-French alliance.

After all, we do not have the identity protection of traditional aristocrats.

So I plan to go to the non-anti-French coalition country for the rest of my life.”

At this time, another financial capitalist was puzzled:

“Why not go to the UK?

There are still many opportunities there.”

"Because I'm French, I don't want to be discriminated against by the British!"

As soon as this sentence came out, the others present immediately dispelled their intention to go to the UK.

This is not nationalism, it’s just that they simply don’t want to be deliberately suppressed by the British local financial capital community.

Even if they have the opportunity to integrate into the UK's financial capital industry, how much does it cost to pay during the period?

What is the success rate?

These are unknown numbers. Instead of betting on these unknown numbers, it is better to find a more stable place.

These people have achieved success and are in high positions, so they are naturally unwilling to work as hard as they did when they started their family.

Anyway, with their capital, as long as they don’t make a fool of themselves, they can make money by finding a relaxed political environment!

"Or, let's go to the United States of America.

Although this country has not been independent for a long time, its capital policies are very relaxed. I believe that as long as we are cautious, it will be easy to integrate into the United States of America.

Moreover, the United States of America is an immigrant country, and we will not be deliberately targeted and discriminated against when we go there.

Most importantly, the United States of America is short of money and we will definitely be welcomed by the U.S. government in the past."

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately won the praise of all the big guys present.

Although the United States is not a good country, it is a good refuge for people like them, and the United States does not have aristocratic power with deep roots!

In this era, the United States is the beacon of freedom in the eyes of European society.

Every year, a large number of people are persecuted by religion, defaulting on debts, thugs and criminals who commit crimes travel across the ocean to the United States to seek their freedom and rebirth.

Of course, this also includes those capitalists who fled overseas.

Compared with the exiled nobles who have relatives everywhere, there are really few directions for capitalists to escape in this era...

After the meeting of this humble private manor villa, a violent economic storm broke out quickly in Paris.

I don’t know when it started, Paris, the political, economic and military center of France, and the most prosperous city in France, had a shortage of metal currency!

What followed was the bankruptcy of several private banks!

The bankrupt private banks, the vaults that reserved gold and silver, were wiped out, and a large amount of gold, silver and precious metals were transferred out of Paris and even France!

In this era, France had three precious metal currency systems: gold, silver and copper, while gold and silver were high-value circulating currencies, which were mixed with paper money issued by the state.

Due to the inconvenience of carrying metal currencies, most of the currencies circulating in France have been converted into paper money, and copper coins are disappearing from the market.

However, France is a gold and silver standard currency system, so paper money can be directly exchanged for metal currency from banks.

In the New France Kingdom, the paper money issued by the French Revolutionary Government was naturally not good. The New France Kingdom, with a weak economic foundation, did not have much currency demand (international trade was banned by the anti-French alliance), so it has been staying in the metal currency trading stage.

This is actually Li Wei's conservative policy, because he knows very well how unreliable the banknote is.

If he wanted to issue paper money, because of his original rebel status, the government's credibility was extremely low, and the public's confidence in paper money was close to zero...

So Li Wei had to continue to maintain the original metal monetary system, but only banned the paper currency system of the French Revolutionary Government.

Paper money was originally an important means of making money by the French revolutionary regime, but due to the bankruptcy and incomplete economic bills, the bigwigs in the financial capital industry played a beautiful way to escape.

These financial capitalists have very little real estate, which is very quick to handle. After taking away real money, when the Jacobin dictatorship led by the National Salvation Committee led by Robert Spear, they had already lost all their money...

Then it left a huge mess for Paris!

The private bank vaults that went bankrupt were empty and could run away from mice. The certificates of deposit in the hands of a large number of depositors turned into waste paper...

This is not the most terrifying thing. As a large number of gold and silver were swept away, the French revolutionary government had a serious fiscal deficit and constant war. Not long after, the Parisian citizens found that the banknotes and francs in their hands could not cash in real gold and silver metal currency!

As a result, the currency credibility of the French Revolutionary Government collapsed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The National Bank controlled by the French Revolutionary Government was crowded with the Parisians who cashed in metal currencies in minutes. The metal currencies in the bank vault were swept away and could no longer be cashed in metal currencies.

Faced with a currency crisis that had never been seen before, the Jacobin regime led by the National Salvation Committee led by Robert Spear was helpless. They could not take out the last national reserve gold.

What's more, even if it is taken out, it's not enough!

At this time, Robert Spear and his group already knew the culprit, the top Paris financial capitalists who gave loans to themselves and helped them through the most difficult times!

However, Robert Spear firmly believed that 'the one who owed the debt was the old man' and that there was still a large amount of loan that had not been paid off. He thought that the top financial capitalists in Paris would not leave. In addition, the lack of economic laws of the Paris Revolutionary Government made these financial capitalists successfully escape with money...

The financial and currency crisis in Paris has caused many wealthy capitalists in Paris to panic, and they are worried that they will be hit by crazy rioters.

As a result, a large amount of real estate and real estate began to be sold in the city of Paris and only accepted metal currencies!

In a moment, the value of the banknote franc dropped three times a day!

The currency crisis triggered all internal conflicts in Paris. A large number of trousers worked hard day and night, but the franc banknotes I received were really hard to wipe my butts!

Can they tolerate it?

Even the factory owner of the T-Mu has run away with the money!

Thanks to the fine tradition of frequent revolutions in Paris, these Parisian capitalists have a very sensitive sense of political smell (all those who are not sensitive have been stolen). Seeing that the reputation of Paris currency collapsed, they knew that the people would definitely make trouble again, and they ran faster than the other...

Even the senior officials of the City Guards and police departments fell into depravity and even ran away.

A large number of capitalists who fled abroad could not stop them. Those officials were their biggest protective umbrellas, and they were lenient to collect money!

When Robert Spear planned to hold the revolutionary court high, the officials ran away one by one, and even fled to the Li Wei regime to surrender!

Oh, by the way, this is called surrender!

Li Wei looked at the city of Paris in shock, and although he didn't understand that the core of the revolutionary regime who wanted to fight a battle to defend Paris was still united, and the next moment, there were parades everywhere, and zero-yuan shopping groups were everywhere...

But this did not prevent Li Wei from taking this opportunity to embezzle the territory.

The chaos in Paris soon caused panic among the soldiers in other provinces controlled by the French Revolutionary Government. Even the revolutionary army that claimed to be the highest revolutionary enthusiasm began to appear!

As for ordinary local garrisons, there was even a phenomenon of surrendering to the Li Wei regime as a whole.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the collapse of the reputation of Paris' paper currency to spread to other provinces.

The currency value of the franc continued to fall below the people's bottom line, which made people's favorability for the French revolutionary regime continue to decline. In less than a month, the word Jacobin changed from a positive energy vocabulary of France to a negative energy vocabulary!

Faced with the economic dilemma of rising prices and banknote reputation collapse, Robert Spear did nothing except killing people in the revolutionary court. Finally, in a speech to the National Convention, he was arrested by a group of revolutionary gendarmeries who suddenly rushed in!

Immediately afterwards, in less than a day, all the members of the entire National Salvation Committee were arrested and imprisoned!

Obviously, this is a premeditated coup!

In fact, the opportunity for a coup has long appeared, but the politicians and bigwigs in the National Convention have to wait until the credibility of the Robert Spear administration has fallen to the lowest point before taking action.

Nowadays, Jacobin has become the target of everyone's beating, so they naturally don't need any scruples when they start to fight. Even if there are many Jacobin supporters in Paris, it doesn't matter.

With sharp inflation, banknote reputation cleared, short-sighted people will not curse financial capitalists they have never heard of, but will only look for the authorities and governments!

Obviously, the Robert Spear regime is a very good scapegoat.

The entire Jacobin dictatorship was overthrown...

After Robert Spear was arrested, he did not even have a revolutionary court and took it directly to the guillotine next door. Before the sky was dark, his head was cut off, not giving Robert Spear's supporters any time to react!

It can be seen that Paris politicians have all experienced it through long-term political struggles, with their methods being neat and without any delay.
To be continued...
