What did the French President say?


When Emerson commented on France having sold someone submarines, Henri said, "It was not me! It was Bouvier. Personally I think it was his most [something] act." His most what act? Anyone catch it? I thought he said "ferric" but there's no meaning of that word that makes sense in english -

Henri wanted to give Bouvier the credit for doing such a wise thing to sell them duds.

You see, world leaders knew that someone would come along and throw the switch and it would probably be there/
