Capítulo 175: Napoleon's Determination for France

Napoleon had instructed Beaumont to send a telegraph to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, summoning Talleyrand to the Palace of Versailles.

Talleyrand acknowledged the order and made his way promptly to the Palace of Versailles.

As he waited for Talleyrand's arrival, Napoleon turned his attention to other pressing matters, particularly the industrialization of France. Almost fifteen years ago, under Napoleon's leadership, the introduction of steam engines and mass production of steel led to significant growth in heavy industry within France. However, the economy of France before the revolution had been in disarray, reaching a point of no return. After the revolution, the lack of a stable political system hindered the growth of heavy industries.
