After determining the model of the rifles to be used by the army for the next decade, Jerome Bonaparte was about to start the phased handling of the MLE1842 rifles in the military warehouse and in the hands of the army when a sudden report interrupted his progress. Valerovsky informed Jerome Bonaparte: news came that the leader of the Saint-Etienne State-Owned Arsenal wishes to meet him.
"Saint-Etienne State-Owned Factory?" Jerome Bonaparte recalled information about the Saint-Etienne State-Owned Arsenal in his mind, then asked Valerovsky: "I remember this seems to be an arsenal in Loire Province!"
"That's right!" Valerovsky, who had previously familiarized himself with the Saint-Etienne State-Owned Arsenal's information, immediately explained to Jerome Bonaparte the history of the Saint-Etienne State-Owned Arsenal and emphasized that this state-owned arsenal, which originally specialized in supplying firearms, had a large number of qualified workers.
