Kapitel 146: The Challenges as First Consul

"Thanks for your time, Necker," Napoleon said, getting up from his desk and reaching out his hand for a handshake."This has been a productive discussion. I will see you in two weeks?"

"Sure thing," replied Necker, firmly shaking Napoleon's hand. "Two weeks from now, you'll have a comprehensive report on the government's finances, and I'll present the plans for the centralized bank as well."

With their meeting concluded, Napoleon and Necker bid each other farewell, and the Minister of Finance made his way out of the office. As the door was about to close, another person came in. It was Talleyrand.

"Fouche and your brother Joseph are on their way home now, Your Excellency with the instructions of keeping an eye out for potential enemies that could jeopardize the safety of the government," he said as he made his way towards his desk.
