The calamity that befell Victor Hugo did not happen to him alone.

At this moment, a large number of soldiers are traveling through all corners of the city, following the route set in advance, and carrying out the arrest operation at the deepest time of the night, breaking the original silence of the city.

And when the arresting teams began to hunt down the opposition according to the plan, the whole city woke up from its slumber and fell into a state of noise and panic. Wherever the arrest team passed, residents climbed out of their beds and watched the murderous soldiers crisscrossing the streets.

However, although many citizens were secretly watching their movements, no one made a noise to disturb the evil spirits. Everyone just held their breath and watched the sudden events that had taken place in this country, and secretly congratulated themselves that they did not have to be one of the victims—and at the same time, they were good-you-small-say-more-new-most-fast-WWW.UUXS.CC-and-guessing what might happen next, with the living mind and sense of smell that the people of the capital were accustomed to.

In general, because of the precise arrangement and the timing of the seizure, the arrest operation was quite smooth, and most of the intended arrest targets fell into the net very smoothly, and some were even captured by the soldiers who suddenly broke in while still asleep.

Only a small percentage of the targets, in a panic, learned of what had happened, and were not willing to accept the sudden doom and chose to resist, so there were sporadic firefights in some places. However, those who can resist by force are in the minority.

At four o'clock in the morning, when news came to the headquarters from all over the world, it was possible to determine that the initial goal of the coup had been largely completed. Finally secretly relieved.

Although he has been pretending not to care on the surface, he is a little uneasy in his heart after all. And now, his heart can finally be put down.

Other words. After tonight passed, he would have taken more than one step on the road to the top......

The heat and passion made it almost difficult for him to hold himself, and he bit his lip, letting the pain take his nerve on.

Then, he took another deep breath.

"Gentlemen, God rewarded us for our toil and we succeeded!" He shouted to the equally nervous group of officers, "From now on, there will be no more opposition to Your Excellency the President." Oh. No, it's His Majesty the Emperor, in front of him, there is no longer a rebel against him! Long live the Empire! Long live the Emperor! ”

With his cheer, the uneasiness and nervousness on the faces of the others were slowly swept away, and everyone looked at each other, and then suddenly became jubilant.

"Long live the Emperor!" Everyone shouted as if they were venting, and some even threw the paper and pens on the table into the air, and these things fell to the ground. There was a rattling sound.

The temptation before them was so great that they forgot about their exhaustion.

"Although a qiē is very smooth, but tonight, I'm sorry. I still don't allow people to open champagne to celebrate," Charles let them celebrate until the excitement faded. He waved his hand lightly, motioning for everyone to calm down first. "Because...... There are many difficulties ahead of us, and we have no right to relax now. We can only keep going and pursue our opponents relentlessly, so that they can no longer put up any resistance! ”

Then, with a smile on his face that looked like he was joking, he looked around again, "Besides, and more importantly, I need you to rest well and refresh yourself to attend my wedding......

His words, unsurprisingly, caused a burst of laughter.

"We'll all be there, sir." Viscount Alex de Lautrec replied with the same smile, "Champagne can be saved until then, but Madame de Treville will be unhappy then!" ”

His words once again caused laughter to resound throughout the room.

"Then you are underestimating me, you can't drink me!" Charles pretended to be stern and straightened his waist, "Even if I have a celebration banquet with you, I can still go back and serve my wife well......"

"At this point, you can talk about it, but then you'll have to show your real skills, haha!" Viscount Lautrec still laughed, "Don't think that I usually only like to drink black tea, and I am still very good when I want to drink...... What's more, we still have so many helpers, I think you should not be reckless, admit defeat to us as soon as possible. ”

"Hey, then I really want to try it." Charles shrugged, then he waved his hand gently, "Alright, now you guys stay here and keep doing what you planned." If there is any sudden and uncontrollable situation, send someone to inform me immediately! ”

"Yes!" Seeing that Charles had given the order again, everyone at the same time became stern again, and answered his order with their chests held high.

"Very well," Charles nodded, "then, sir, I'll see you later." ”

Now that the initial violence is almost over, he no longer needs to stay here to command, and he now needs to do something else -- how to get ahead and inform the rest of the country about what has happened.

It didn't bother him either.

In the dark night, as he walked out of the gates of the War Department, the carriage that had been prepared immediately set off and carried him into the darkness.

For safety reasons, he was accompanied by half a company of soldiers.

The sound of the carriages marching, the soldiers marching in neat formations, rumbled, and seemed to be able to reach half a mile away.

At this time, there were no pedestrians on the streets, and they were running through the streets with impunity, galloping all the way to the location of the Ministry of Railways. Soon they came to St. Michael's Square. Charles then stepped out of the carriage and, accompanied by several officers, walked all the way into the building of the Ministry of Railways.

Although it was this time, the building of the Ministry of Railways was brightly lit, and it was clear that preparations had been made for what should happen.

There was already a large crowd waiting for them.

When Charles appeared at the door, a group of soldiers in military uniforms and black coats hurriedly saluted him.

Charles smiled and nodded in response.

The smiles of these officials. There is both flattery and fear. Obviously, even after a year of leaving. The Charr still had a terrible legacy in their hearts.

Then, he looked up. After scanning around the lobby of the Ministry of Railways and looking at the luxurious decorations that he had set up with his own hands, he suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart.

Maybe it's because I haven't been back here for a long time, so I feel a little nostalgic in my heart.

He froze, and bowed again to the Count of Dilion.

"Your Excellency, I'm really tired of you......"

"Where, Charles, you're working hard!" The Earl smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay to be smooth tonight, right?" ”

"If it doesn't go well. I wouldn't be here. Charles replied with an equal smile. Your Excellency, when the sky shines again, the President will be the unique ruler of the entire nation. ”

In front of such a large group of people, it is difficult for him to say the word emperor, but this is actually no different from saying it.

"Fifty years of reincarnation!" As if thinking of something, the Count sighed suddenly. "With so many earth-shaking changes happening in just a few years, what else can't happen in this era?"

Yes, it's all turned upside down!

Even just five years ago. It is hard for anyone to believe that the Bonaparte family, who have been knocked to the ground, who have lost a qiē, and who seem to be unable to stand up again, will get up again and become the masters of this world power.

In sixty years, there were two republics. One empire, two dynasties, and now a new empire is about to be ushered in......

What unimaginable times these are. What an unimaginable country!

The minister's exclamation and reverie were soon awakened by reality. He looked at Charles with a slight embarrassment. It wasn't until he found that the other party didn't have any impatient expression that he relaxed a little.

"Your merits. It will definitely be remembered by history. He looked at Charles complimentingly, "Charles, I knew that you were born to do great things!" ”

His compliment, Charles, who had always been modest and cautious, actually accepted it all.

"I want history to remember more than that." With a victor's lightness, he laughed, "Your Excellency, it's still early!" ”

Then, he looked at a young man in a captain's uniform next to him.

"Captain Cyno, take me to the telegraph office, you can begin."

"Yes!" The captain immediately straightened up.

There was still a kind of excitement on his young face to participate in the big thing, but the salute was still very standard. In the absence of their commander, Major Lucien, he was responsible for commanding the Army personnel stationed in the Ministry of Railways.

This group of soldiers was sent here by Charles himself, in order to learn the operation of the railroad and telegraph network within the Ministry of Railways, and they did not live up to Charles's expectations, and under Lucien's strict supervision, they quickly mastered the basic knowledge. And, according to Charles' original plan, from the beginning of the coup d'état, they took over the entire running of the Ministry of Railways, and under their watchful eye, no one could act rashly, and the whole capital seemed to be cut off from the rest of the country.

Led by the Captain, Charles walked down his familiar walkway to the telegraph office in the Ministry of Railways building.

In the center of the telegraph office was a walled lobby, and a large number of cables were crowded together and flowed into the central machinery like blood vessels to the heart.

Qiē was very nervous, as if he was facing a great enemy.

The machinery of this era still seemed very rough to the eyes of Charles. However, it is precisely the noisy operation of this rough machine that gives people a peculiar beauty.

Upon entering the lobby, Charles suddenly felt a chill on his chest, and the air seemed to be filled with electromagnetic interference - though he knew that it was more of a psychological effect.

A group of operators had been waiting there for a long time, and next to them stood a group of soldiers, who looked at Charles as if they were waiting for something.

"How's it going, sir? Do you want to get started now? Captain Cyno asked in a low voice.

Charles didn't answer immediately, he just looked at the machines that were connected to the countless cables.

Although few people recognize it, it is already a nerve center in France.

It is connected to telegraph lines to all parts of France, and with the help of these neural networks, messages from all over France are transmitted to the capital in an instant, and the news from the capital is transmitted to the whole country at the same speed.

And he's going to use these things today.

He took a deep breath.

"Let's get started!"

"Let's go!" After receiving Charles' order, Captain Cyno repeated it aloud as well.

The silence was broken in an instant. Almost everyone moved.

The operators walked up to the telegraph and began their intense work of sending the telegram.

All they need to send is a short message.

Here, the same message will be transmitted throughout the country in an instant.

"To all fellow French citizens:

In the interests of the people, His Excellency the President has issued a special decree on the implementation of a state of emergency in the country and the temporary suspension of the operation of the National Assembly.

This is a painful decision that the President has to carry out in order to safeguard the interests of the country and the nation.

For too long, the National Assembly has been forcibly depriving the people of their rights, ignoring the real will of the people and the people's elected president. Although the president has been fighting against it, the people have been greatly harmed, millions of people have been denied the right to vote legally, and the declaration of freedom and equality has been trampled on.

Therefore, the President finally decided to suspend the functions of the National Assembly until it could truly represent the will of the people.

After years of futile struggle, France finally grew tired of the banality of inaction. The meaningless battle of words in parliament will end, the president will return the rights denied by parliament to the great French people, and the call of the people will finally be victorious! At this time, the people of the whole country will unite as one and work hard for the future of the nation.

The president has issued a special order that the troops stationed in various localities must monitor the local area and quell a riot that harms the rights and interests of the people. And there must be no movement, otherwise the commander will be punished as a rebel!

Under the leadership of the President, the country will be saved, and the people will return to a life of stability and prosperity, ushering in a glorious new era!

God bless France! ”

Under Charles's gaze, as the telegraph operator kept pressing, the whole telegraph culture was spread all over France as a code, a telegraph line that extended in all directions, and reported what had happened.

Everyone knows that in a few moments, the whole country, even the whole of Europe and the whole world, will have an indescribable shock. (To be continued......) R1292
