Chapter 240 - Final Budget

Reynaud lifted his pen. "Bond issuance is prepared. We will peg initial rates to sterling and prepare conversion measures."

Auriol looked around the table. "We've written a new page. Not just a budget. A promise."

Moreau closed his binder. "Then we move. Not as a clique. Not as a regime. But as a Republic."

Outside the chamber, aides and clerks waited for instructions.

They carried folders of final drafts and stamped forms.

Some would travel to Lyon, others to Algiers or Bordeaux.

That night, France's ministries would not sleep.
