Second, the chapters starting tomorrow will be updated in the morning as much as possible

Garian flatly refused the other party's request.

He stood in front of him, looking directly into the eyes of the man in the carriage, without flinching. Instead, he said confidently, "Then please tell me your name first, otherwise I won't go with you." ”

The man in the car said impatiently, "Are you so unwilling to cooperate?" ”

The horse kicked impatiently on the iron hooves and neighed from its mouth. The coachman lowered the brim of his hat and looked at it from Garion's point of view, unable to make out his face.

"Yes, I don't want to cooperate. I'm worried about riding in a carriage with you, and I don't even know how I'm going to die in the end. Please tell me your name. ”

The man in the car finally gave in, and said helplessly to Garion's insistence, "Maybe you've heard my name, Thiers, Louis Adolphe Thiers." ”

Garion looked at the man in front of him and was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Thiers to come to the door, Garion narrowed his eyes, carefully hiding his disdain and disgust for the short man in front of him.

The guy with a false smile in front of him will become the number one enemy of the French working class in the future, and even Marx did not hesitate to express his disgust with him in "The French Civil War".

"Thiers, the dwarf monster, has been adored by the French bourgeoisie for almost half a century, because he is the most complete ideological representative of the class corruption of this bourgeoisie. Even before he became a dignitary in the Provisional Government of the Third Republic, he was already a historian who showed a talent for lying. The chronicle of his social activities is a history of French disasters. ”

"He was an expert in petty political deception, a veteran of treachery and treachery, a master of petty power tricks, intrigues and vile treachery in parliamentary partisanship; As soon as he lost power, he did not hesitate to advocate revolution, and once he was in power, he did not hesitate to invade the revolution into a pool of blood; He has only class prejudice and no thought, only vanity and no conscience; His private life was as vile as his social career,—— and even now, when he plays the role of Sulla of France, he can't help but show the vileness of his actions with his ridiculous arrogance. ”

"Oh, it's Lord Thiers, what's the matter?"

Thiers took off his hat and said in a sincere tone, "After reading that Mein Kampf before, I apologize deeply for the questioning of Your Excellency Garion. So I hope to be able to apologize to you in person. ”

"Oh? Is it? ”

Garion knew that the old fox must have something else going on, otherwise he wouldn't have come all the way to wait for him.

He waved his hand and said with a pretense of understatement, "I accept your apology, and if nothing else, I'll go first." ”

"Wait."

Thiers finally couldn't sit still, he anxiously stretched out his hand and grabbed Garion's arm, and said impatiently, "I'm sorry, Lord Garion, but there is another important thing to tell you besides this matter. ”

"Huh?"

This time a smile tugged at the corners of Garion's mouth, and he had been waiting for Thiers to say this from the beginning.

"Come on, let's talk about the details at my house."

Garion stepped into Thiers' carriage, and the two didn't talk much along the way. Most of the time, Garion just stared out the window in a daze, responding once or twice to Thiers's topic, and then fell silent again.

The carriage soon arrived in front of Thiers' mansion, and after the two men got out of the car, Garion followed Thiers straight into the study.

Unlike Zola's study, all the books in his room were neatly arranged, even the manuscript paper on the table was stacked aside. The room was filled with the aftertaste of burning spices, rushing towards Garion.

"Tell me your true purpose, Lord Thiers. I guess it's not because of admiration for talent or something, right? ”

"Yes."

Thiers took off his hat, looked at the young man in front of him, and said with a serious expression, "The real purpose of inviting His Excellency Garion to come over this time is to invite you to join the Orleans Party. I used to think you were a revolutionary, but ever since you communicated with the Bonaparte royal family, I have known that although you are ostensibly loyal to the revolution, you are in fact a conservative. We royalists need people like you......"

"Wait."

Thinking that he had misheard, Garion hurriedly asked, "You mean that you want me to be loyal to the Count of Paris and become a member of your Orleans party?" ”

Thiers nodded.

Garion, on the other hand, couldn't laugh or cry.

Louis Philippe Orleans, Count of Paris, son of Ferdinand, Duke of Orleans, Crown Prince of France, King Louis Philippe. After Ferdinand's death in 1842, he became crown prince and was made Count of Paris.

When the February Revolution broke out in 1848, the king who was forced to abdicate the throne had hoped to succeed him to the throne, but the people generally did not support it, and he is now in exile in England, where he is under the care of the British royal family.

Next year he will serve in the American Civil War as a French volunteer, serving in the staff of George Brinton McClellan. After the suppression of the Paris Commune in 1870, he would return to France.

The Count of Paris was for the Orleanists the spiritual backbone of the entire interest group.

"Why do you think I'm worthy of your wooing?"

"I've read what His Excellency Garion wrote before, and you're very handy, both as a thinker and as a propagandist, and you don't have that much to do with the Bonapartes, so we can give you ......"

Garian finally figured out the true purpose of the old fox in front of him, trying to win himself over and serve the Orleans party. It seems that since the dissolution of the July Dynasty, the royalist forces have been carrying out clandestine activities in Paris.

Because of the relationship between the tree and the wind, it has attracted their attention.

But instead of making it clear, Garion shifted the conversation to another aspect.

"Wait."

"This question can be put aside for now. I heard that His Excellency Thiers had been in seclusion since the dissolution of the July Dynasty, writing a historical work, The History of the Reign of the Consuls and the History of the French Empire, and that he was almost finished. ”

Thiers stopped, turned his head and asked in surprise, "How do you know I'm writing this book?" ”

In his book, Thiers preached the admiration of personal achievements and praised Napoleon I, especially his military command, so that the uninformed would think that he was a loyal Bonapartist.

"Sir Thiers, have you ever thought of writing a novel in which the Emperor Napoleon rises from Les Invalides, punches Prussia, and kicks Great Britain?" ”

The other party asked in a serious tone, "Lord Garion, are you kidding?" ”
