Shortly after Charles sent Julie and Julie away, news spread from the Dilieon family that their eldest lady, Julie, had gone to the southern coast to recuperate due to illness and extreme weakness. Due to the previous dance commotion, this news caused a little stir in the social world, but it was quickly occupied by other news and slowly faded out of people's sight.

The storm of the past was thus dispelled into nothingness, as if nothing had ever happened, and Charles and the others buried the matter deep in their hearts and never mentioned it to anyone again.

Only Matilda seems to have been grounded by her father, and according to Fran and Mary, she has not been attending the studio recently. But Fran is confident that the wise and brave Matilda will soon be back with everyone.

But Charles's mind, having done that, had moved on to something more important.

With the passage of time, the Bonapartist scheme has become more and more practical. The political situation is becoming more and more chaotic, the people are restless, subversive and inflammatory pamphlets are circulating everywhere, and the atmosphere of the storm is finally coming more and more intense.

In short, the revolutionary upsurge is on the rise. Whether in Paris or France, there is no exception.

Of course, in all fairness, this is not the credit of the Bonapartist family. It can even be said that this is not primarily the credit of the Bonapartist faction.

In fact, it was now the general outbreak of resentment among the various opposition parties of the July Dynasty. Everyone is denouncing the July Dynasty and blaming it for everything: incompetent governance, greedy government officials, too soft on the outside world, the loss of Belgium, etc., etc. Some scolded him for being too dull, others for being too sensitive, the republicans for ridiculing the king as a ridiculous dynasty, the orthodoxy for ridiculing the king as a despicable usurper, and so on.

By any indication, the continuation of this dynasty is already in question. There is only one question left.

Once the disrespected July Dynasty falls, who will take over France?

It's a matter of life and death for Charles.

Should it be a republic? Or will it return to Bourbon rule, or will it fall into the hands of the Bonapartist faction, as Charles idealist?

Past history seems to prove that a situation has occurred in zuihou.

The Charr must also make it happen.

The past history can be used as a guideline, and although I don't know how to do it, it can at least give him a kind of secret courage - at least the direction of history is now on my side, isn't it?

Today, he attended a new internal meeting of the Bonapartist faction. Due to the importance of the topic, only a few people from the inner circle participated.

"At present, 900 rifles with 18,300 ammunition have been prepared, and many reliable personnel have been recruited. There were also 50 pistols with 700 bullets. and a number of sabers, sabers, ......"

"Too little, right?" The presiding officer of the last secret meeting, the middle-aged Marière Carrion, spoke out after listening. "This weapon isn't enough to make a fuss."

"The key to our success is not the number of weapons, but the more weapons we have, more than the army?" One participant took the floor. "These weapons are just enough for us to be able to organize and eliminate some contingencies when the time comes...... We could not have succeeded without the support of the army, and no matter how many weapons were prepared. ”

"And the National Guard." Another participant added.

"Yes, and the National Guard." The man nodded.

The National Guard was an extremely important force at this time - not because of how powerful they were, but because of the special nature of their members. It was a volunteer army of the bourgeoisie, in which almost every propertied and bourgeoisie of Paris had military status, but whose ranks were assigned according to wealth and past service - for example, a wealthy merchant or an old officer with military experience would be placed as an officer.

There can be no doubt that this was the arming of the bourgeoisie themselves in order to unite and suppress the workers and proletarians who might rise up in rebellion - or, a certain king.

"Their attitude is really crucial." Carrion nodded. "Are we sure we'll have their support then?"

"It's hard to know for sure, after all, no one knows what these businessmen think, and I'm afraid they don't know." Charles replied, "But I think it's a bit promising." ”

"What do you mean?"

"At least Bonaparte is better than the Bourbons, isn't it, sir?" Charles' eyes lowered and he looked at the table. "I think they'll weigh the weight of this question when they get to Zuihou."

"Makes sense......" Carrion nodded. I'm afraid they'll think the same thing when it comes to that. ”

The capture of the already crumbling July Dynasty was by no means the end of the expedition for Charles and the others, but the beginning of a new one. In this new struggle, they had to confront both the republicans and the supporters of the Bourbon Orthodoxy, and in order to finally seize power in France, they had to spend a great deal of time and energy to exclude both at the same time, which was understandably difficult.

Thankfully, the history that had taken place before her had given Charles confidence.

In the struggle of this era, neither the republicans nor the monarchists won, perhaps it could be said that they won, and together they witnessed the re-establishment of the Bonaparte dynasty. None of this is an unacceptable consequence for them - at least stronger than the other party's coming to power.

The greatest advantage of the Bonapartists was not that they were outnumbered, but that they were the easiest to compromise with their opponents: the republicans considered them at least stronger than the old dynasty; The supporters of the old dynasty thought they were at least better than the rebellious republicans. When these two people are faced with the final choice and cannot win with certainty, they always think, "At least Bonaparte is better than the damned ones......

Louis Bonaparte used the monarchists to intimidate the republicans and the republicans to intimidate the monarchists. Thus, the empire was rebuilt.

"But what about the army? Is the attitude of the army assured? Another voice rang out.

"Although the lower-ranking soldiers generally have a favorable impression of the emperor and the empire, the attitude of the senior officers is more ambiguous......" replied a little hesitantly, "after all, the empire has been overthrown for more than thirty years, and the current senior officers have been promoted and promoted in the era after the collapse of the empire, and they do not have the special feelings they had for the empire, so they need to pay more attention to this aspect......"

"It's hard to do, and we can't do anything without the support of the Army. But as long as we have the support of the Army, or even if they are only neutral, we will have a good chance of success. Charles asserted in a low voice. The army is France! ”

"You're right, sir." Carrion nodded approvingly, "The army is France." Therefore, the focus of our next work is to try to do the work of connecting the military circles as much as possible, so that more officers will tend to us, although we have been doing this for a long time, but we will also increase our efforts in the future......"

"Yes, this was useful not only in the overthrow of Monsieur Louis-Philippe, but even more so in the struggle that followed." There was a echo from the side. "If we can always get the support of the Army, then we will have a smooth road ahead, and who else can stand in our way?"

"What we want is what others want." One participant calmly reminded. "They're going to do the same with us."

"So we have to pay more attention." Charles replied, "And we also have our advantage, unlike the conservative timidity of the Bourbons, we dare to challenge Europe." The Bourbon and Orleans gentlemen have made enough of the French people in the face of Europe, and even more so the republicans, who even want to abolish the throne and the nobility! But we can rebuild the country to its glory, let the soldiers build up their merits, and the soldiers' desire for merit and titles is understandable, right? ”

"Yes, we can emphasize that," Carrion nodded approvingly again, "I was a soldier, and I know what a soldier is thinking. ”

Yes, at least in this day and age, the great feats of the Napoleonic era are still nostalgic for the soldiers, and the glorious victories of all over Europe, the examples of generals, marshals and nobles who were awarded the titles of military exploits, still inspire the ambitious French soldiers, who are still willing to fight for them.

After the Third Republic was established from the ruins of the Second Empire, and until the mid-20th century, the French Army remained the stronghold of "reactionary conservatives", and the top generals mostly despised the Republic and its statesmen, so much so that the Republic's parliamentarians legislated to deprive soldiers and officers of the right to vote, fearing that they would bring out a new Napoleon.

In the end, however, one army general ended the French Third Republic, and another army general put an end to the French Fourth Republic.

"Still, that's the case, but it's true that there are too few weapons raised right now, right?" Carrion frowned, "Can you think of something else?" ”

"It's very difficult," replied the man in charge of the matter, "after all, under the noses of the government and the Ministry of the Interior, it is very troublesome to bring a large number of weapons into the city and store them......

"Can't you disguise yourself as a weapons dealer? After all, it's normal for a weapons merchant to have a lot of weapons in his shop and house, right? Carrion came up with his idea.

"We've always done that, but even then we can't be too blatant. Rather than having a few guns and boxes of gunpowder, it's important to be careful not to make mistakes, isn't it? If someone finds out and denounces us, all our plans will be in vain! ”

Carrion groaned for a moment.

"Well, since you've all thought about it that way, let's do what you have in mind for now. Still, I want to emphasize one thing......" he glanced at the few people in attendance. "Although Louis-Philippe and his dynasty are dying, caution is still our first priority, even if the situation is going well!"

Then he increased his volume for emphasis.

"The tragedy of 1840 cannot be repeated, this time it must be carefully prepared in advance, and then carried out carefully and resolutely, and there must be no mistakes, knowing that we have not many six years to waste, gentlemen!"

[Refers to the attempted sedition of Louis Bonaparte from England in France in 1840, captured by government forces and sentenced to life imprisonment in the fortress, until May 1846, when he successfully escaped from prison, and his father Louis died in the same year.] 】
