The second more

Rumors of an article about Gallian influencing the foreign policy of the Tuileries Palace circulated among a small group of high-level officials, and everyone was amazed at what Gallian had done to make Napoleon III so obedient to everything he had to say.

Everything is as Charles de Gaulle famously said: it is not easy to govern a country with 246 different cheeses.

However, in the mouths of the Parisian people, it was the opposite, because of the publication of the article, Galian went from a hero of the Parisian people overnight to a public enemy in the mouths of everyone. They think that this article completely deviates from the facts and the original intention - "Shut up, I, the Great France, hammered Attila, the whip of God, the Hundred Years' War broke the doghead of the Plantagenet dynasty, the Tsar was forced to burn Moscow during the Napoleonic period, and now you Galian actually say that we are inferior to the Germanic barbarians?" What are you kidding, we are the number one power in Europe! ”

As a result, the offices of Gallian and the newspaper Le Figaro, which published the article, were inundated with invective letters, and they demanded that the author publicly issue a public apology and retract the article, otherwise "it would not be unexpected."

The editor-in-chief, Wilmesan, has not slept well these days, and he has received an abundance of gifts these days, ranging from blades and bullets to hammers, and even someone has sent him a no-bullet revolver with a threatening note.

"If Lord Garion is unwilling to make a public apology, I hope this pistol will save this poor creature from a righteous execution."

The person who writes about the threat to his life is searched for the entire French literary scene, and I am afraid that there is only one Galion.

Wilmesan was overwhelmed and regretted that he should not have coveted Garion's fame and published such a controversial article, and now they had to settle accounts not only with Galian, but also with the editor-in-chief of Le Figaro.

"Editor-in-chief Wilmesan, there are already more and more people demonstrating outside the door."

The editor worriedly entered the door to report to him, "They asked Figaro to give an explanation, and if he didn't give an explanation, he wouldn't leave." ”

"I see, now I'll go find Garian and let him take care of this."

Distraught, Wilmesan waved his hand impatiently and let the others go out first. At this moment, he can only go to Garion, hoping that the initiator will be relented and solve this crisis.

There was no way, please don't move this great god, so he had to visit him in person and find Garion, hoping that he would publish a public apology statement in the newspaper to end the turmoil.

However, when the door to Garrian's apartment was opened, he saw a different picture. Arda and Baranchi are helping Garian pack his clothes and suitcase, as if he is ready to run. Seeing Wilme-san appear in front of him, Garion put down his work and stepped forward to greet him.

"I didn't expect His Excellency Wilmesan to visit in person, it's really rare, please come in."

Will Mesan invited into the living room and sat down on the couch. Adei brought him two cups of coffee and placed them in front of both of them.

Garian smiled wryly and said, "As you can see, I'm a little too busy right now, I'm going to leave Paris for a while, take a break from the limelight, is there anything going on with Mr. Wilmesan?" ”

Will Mesan shook his head helplessly, and said straight to the point, "I came to you, didn't your article trigger a series of consequences?" ”

He pulled out a revolver from his suitcase, along with a threatening note, handed it to Garion, and said, "Someone has sent me a pistol to the newspaper and threatened that if you don't apologize, your life will be in danger at any time." Sir Garrian, listen to my advice, this is no joke. The mob in Paris had no fear of even assassinating Napoleon, let alone a writer without any protection. There is no need to put your life into it because of an article. ”

"Oh, Editor-in-Chief Wilmesan, it looks like things are getting very serious."

Garion frowned as he stared at the pistol in front of him.

A glimmer of hope surged in Wilmesan's heart, and he wanted to make the other party compromise and concession through threats, and hurriedly said, "That's true, Lord Garion, the matter has been ......"

"But I'm not going to make any apologies and tell this damn group of readers that they love to look at it, not to watch it. Threaten me? I haven't been scared yet. ”

With a buzz, Wilme Sander's head suddenly grew bigger, he had seen Garion's willfulness before, an article that was originally a best-seller, and finally stopped writing decisively if he didn't write, which attracted a lot of swearing from readers.

Now you've offended most of France.

"Please, Lord Garion, I still have my family and children, and I don't want to die yet."

Will Mesan was crying, he had been having a nervous breakdown for the past few days, and as soon as he closed his eyes, all that came to mind was bullets, guillotines, and the hideous-faced reader held up the blade and asked Garian to apologize.

He grabbed Garien's sleeve and said in a trembling voice, "And if they can't find you, they'll definitely come after me." ”

"It's not that I don't want to make a statement."

Garion gently pushed Wilmesan's hand away, looked at the editor-in-chief of Le Figaro in front of him, and couldn't bear to explain, "Actually, this article was approved and authorized by His Majesty Napoleon III, didn't His Excellency Wilmesan notice that after such a radical article was published, the Imperial Foreign Secretary was immediately replaced?" ”

Originally, Wilmesan hadn't paid attention to this matter, but as soon as he said it, he suddenly remembered it, and then thought of the newspaper article, a line that connected all the clues.

"Wait, you mean His Majesty the Emperor......"

"Yes, everything is arranged by His Majesty."

"Since His Majesty Napoleon III is behind you, what are you afraid of?" And lately, the editor-in-chief of Wilmesan has been competing with the Little Daily News for readers, and one of my articles can bring you a lot of money. ”

"That being said......"

Thinking that the newspaper sales had been singing all the way in the past few days, and the competitors couldn't raise their heads, Wilmesan had other thoughts in his heart. Who knew what Garion said next, which caught him off guard again.

"So I'm going to publish another article in Le Figaro, no problem, right?"

"Wait?"

Thinking he had misheard, Wilmesan repeated what Garion had said.

"Did Lord Garion just say that he was going to write another article?"

Galian was ready to pick up the pen and brew the pen and ink in his belly, he shook his head, and said to Will Messan, "To be exact, I should be ready to anger the people of Paris again." ”
