Chapter 131: The Congress of Winter is Approaching
The second watch, there are two more, ask for a monthly pass!
At this time, the meeting hall of the Palais Bourbon was even more lively than the vegetable market in the Latin Quarter, and the parliamentarians of all factions were arguing with red faces, and no one was willing to back down for their own interests. Because of the large-scale arrests and executions of royalist parliamentarians, the Republicans and Orleans became the main forces in the following chambers, and the Bonapartist faction took advantage of the return of Napoleon III and began to scramble for power.
The fuse that had been pressed down in the war was once again ignited, and a new round of confrontation began around the struggle for power in Paris. Napoleon's ascension to becoming the leader of the country was well deserved, and their focus was on the struggle for power in the Congress and the President.
It was a meeting that decided the future of France, and everyone wanted to be the biggest winner in French politics.
Thanks to Napoleon, leftist parliamentarians Louis Braun, Edward Quinn, Bomber, Kelรซe and others continued to sit in the halls of the National Assembly and continue to clamor for the constitution of the Third Reich.
Before the conference, the radical republicans also tried to collude with the moderates to collectively put pressure on Napoleon at the next day's meeting. In layman's terms, it is the reactionaries who want to steal the fruits of the victory of the revolution.
From the very beginning of the meeting, Braun took advantage of the chaos in the Bourbon Palace to rush to Napoleon, he held up the joint document in his hand, and said loudly, "Your Excellency Napoleon, our Congress believes that since France has established a republican system, then the president should naturally be responsible to the Congress. Otherwise, once the president's power is too great, it will be nothing more than a repetition of the restoration of the dynasty! โ
He also tried to unite with other parliamentarians to put pressure on Napoleon's prestige.
"The Reichstag should be able to limit the power of the head of state, otherwise the constitution of the Third Reich is just a decoration!"
Quinn and Bombeur nodded in agreement, and the remaining moderate Republicans did not rush to behave, but admired each other's every move like monkeys.
"You represent Congress?"
"Of course, the republicans represent the interests of the French people."
"Okay."
Napoleon nodded blankly and said with a blank face, "Go on." โ
"Therefore, I believe that the Bourbon Palace and Congress, which represent the people, are the highest authorities of a country, and the president of the country is elected through the election of the Congress. Once the president goes against the will of the people, then Congress can overthrow the other side and hold a new election until a president who serves the national interest is promoted. โ
Brown's righteous remarks drew sparse applause, and nearly twenty parliamentarians nodded their heads in acknowledgment of his actions, while Bonaparte and the Orleans Party watched Napoleon's performance in silence.
"You're right."
Napoleon nodded in feigned approval, and Braun's lips even showed a smile of surprise, he did not expect that he could so easily refute the highly prestigious Parisian leader. Other indifferent Republican parliamentarians also frowned slightly, and the use of the radical party to incite the people to force the protection of their interests was despised by all, should the leaders of Paris also succumb to the despicable methods of the other side?
And the next sentence turned around, but the joy on Braun's face slowly dissipated.
"But I don't listen."
Napoleon stood up, looked around at the ill-intentioned careerists, and knew that if he did not override the pressure of the majority in this meeting, he would be bound to his political ambitions as president.
"Let me state at the outset that the present republican form of government already exists, and that the immediate priority of France is to amend the constitution and rebuild the country, and that other political issues will be discussed after the reconstruction. As for Braun's suggestion that the Congress, which represents the rights of the people, is superior to France, is he preparing to form a faction in the Congress to establish his own power, and to overthrow the president and turn him into a puppet? โ
A high hat was thrown over, blocking all the "words of justice" that Braun had originally wanted to say.
"The French people have no interest in being represented by you, they only want a strong leader in Paris who can lead them out of their predicament and lead them to victory. I don't have time here to listen to your quarrels. Do you know why only some of you support your views? Councillor Braun. โ
Napoleon picked up a cabinet list from his desk and threw it in front of him with a snap.
"Because we have reached a consensus agreement a long time ago, you are the only ones who still think that you can unite other parties to put pressure on us.
The long list in front of Braun stung his eyes.
The Minister of Justice, Dufour, the Secretary of the Army, Louvlow, the Secretary of the Navy, Bottuo, the Minister of Trade, Ram Bolrest, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of the Interior, Rawlsford, the Secretary of Education, Simon, and the Minister of Finance, Carter Martley, who was close to the family circle of the Gault Bank. The appearance of Rallsford, a representative of the petty bourgeoisie, on the list of the first cabinet of the Third Reich was also intended to counterbalance the contradictions between the republicans and the neo-Jacobins.
This agreement is known as the Podol Accord. Napoleon's emphasis in a sense weakened the power of the orthodox faction towards trying to establish a constitutional monarchy in the Diet. The Bordeaux Accords laid the foundation for the future of the Third Reich.
With the completion of the Industrial Revolution during the Second Empire and the further growth of the republican faction representing the industrial bourgeoisie, it was difficult for France to restore the monarchy. Napoleon should be more wary of those who clamored to turn the power of the president into a rubber stamp, and to cast the shadow of the Reichstag over the power of the whole country.
A group of people representing the interests of the big bourgeoisie seized the lifeblood of the French people? Napoleon would never have agreed.
At this point, he turned back and saw everyone staring at them like clowns.
"Fools can see your tricks, why do you dare to make such a request with impunity? It's just because I've rejected any faction in Congress, and then some of you want to remove me from office or strangle my power. Thought I was a political blank? โ
Napoleon's accusations left Braun speechless, and the Radicals' hindsight ruined their advantage in this political struggle.
"Do you want to ask next, am I on the side of the people, or am I on the side of Congress?"
"I ...... I'm not...... This ......"
Braun spoke incoherently, he didn't expect that the other party had already counted every move of this group of people in Congress.
"I don't care if that's what you think in your heart."
Napoleon clapped his hands, members of the National Gendarmerie rushed in through the door, Favre, who was sitting in the parliament, threw the pen in his hand on the table, held his forehead and said weakly, "Why do you do this again?" โ
It turns out that if your opponent is not willing to listen to your point of view and does not approve of your move, then using bullets to force him to submit is the most direct and effective one.
Then they saw Louis Bonaparte, escorted by members of the National Gendarmerie, into the conference room. The Republicans present erupted in surprise as to why the emperor of the Second Reich had not been exiled and remained in Paris.
"I'm back."
Louis's reply was simple and clear, looking at the silent parliamentarians around him, he whispered, "From now on, I will be the head of the French Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, responsible to His Excellency the President, specifically for the management of issues such as the integrity and bribery of members of Congress, you don't need to be nervous, I will not participate in the daily affairs of the French government, let alone the power of the state." But I am directly accountable to the President of France. โ
Even the Orleans party and the Republicans couldn't laugh.
If the National Gendarmerie was only to maintain order and stability in Paris and to suppress any signs of bourgeois revolution, the Disciplinary Commission was used to exclude unwilling members of the National Assembly and to form a French government with Napoleon at its center.
A single charge of corruption** being investigated can keep a member of parliament out of the way for several years.
No wonder the people of the National Gendarmerie will appear here, it is really clever. It was a reform program that all members of the Congress would oppose, and the only thing Napoleon could rely on was the army.
The gun commanded the Congress, forcing the representatives of the industrial bourgeoisie to have nothing to say.
"Winter is coming for members of Congress."
Rochefort, the former editor of the Beacon newspaper, quipped, "It seems that the aspirations of some small groups that want to control the government have failed, and how many of these people here are not vested interests?" โ
Gambida, who sat next to Rochefort, did not speak, and after breaking up with Napoleon, the defenders of the republic became the secret leader of the national gendarmerie. The arrangement of today's venue was also planned by him.
The republicans, who thought that Napoleon III would never turn over, did not expect the Bonaparte family to make a comeback. At this time, they looked at Napoleon on the stage, and from the depths of their hearts they felt fear and awe.
How did he do it?
"Please remember the slogan of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection."
Louis stood in front of the podium of Congress, looked around at the members with different looks, and said with a smile, "We are everywhere. โ
Braun sat down in his seat and was silent for a long time. He couldn't look directly at the man on the stage, and he couldn't help but disobey the other party's orders. I could only silently clench my fists in my hands.
Seeing that he had finally brought everyone to his knees, Napoleon released the last bombshell news of the Congress.
"Moreover, in addition to defending the republican form of government of the Third Reich, this conference is aimed at promulgating the Constitution of the Third Reich and formally establishing our state power."
Napoleon took a deep breath and said slowly, "The French Third Reich was founded. โ
