Napoleon slowly pushed open the door of the conference room and walked in the direction of the hall of the Palais Bourbon, refusing to be accompanied by anyone, preparing to face the agitated mob alone.

The Place de la Concorde has become a sea of people, and angry people have surrounded the entire Palais Bourbon, demanding an immediate explanation from the legislature. Just as Napoleon predicted, the republicans did not want a fair discussion at all, but hoped to use the drama of "street politics" to put pressure on the government's legislative corps and rudely interfere with the independence of the judiciary.

The crowd of demonstrators prepared to storm the Palais Bourbon, one of them republicans incited by Favre, and the other group of Blanquists. Although both factions wanted to establish a republic, they both selfishly wanted to make themselves the rulers of Paris.

"After 1815, the country was really getting mixed up. If my nephew is too talented, the republican bastards are just a bunch of idiots who can't make a big deal. ”

He stood at the door of the semicircular edifice, and he looked at the crowd indifferently.

The triangular frieze is a broad colonnade of twelve large round stone columns, and a figure not very tall, looking at the crowd that flocked to the entrance of the Palais Bourbon from the Place de la Concorde and the University Road, was indifferent.

"The republicans are almost the same as Yeltsin's. Incite demonstrations of the people who support them, and then take the opportunity to seize power in the country. Blanqui and Favre were nothing more than a cocoon dog, and their task was not to lead France against the invasion of the Prussian army, but to find ways to ensure the legitimacy of their regime in order to pursue their own political interests. Country? In the eyes of their politicians, France could pay five billion francs in reparations and cede Alsace-Lorraine to Prussia, but no one could shake their determination to rule Paris. ”

Looking at the crowd that was flocking to him, Napoleon smiled contemptuously, took out his 1854 Lofsche revolver from his waist, turned on the hammer, and then raised his hand and aimed it at the sky.

He took a deep breath.

"Bang."

With a loud bang, the shrill gunfire echoed through the Place de la Concorde, and the people surging forward stopped, looking nervously at the man in front of them. The muzzle of the revolver in his hand was still emitting a wisp of green smoke.

The people of Paris, who had been angry, stopped moving forward in an instant. Simon, who had just stepped on the steps, saw the revolver in the other party's hand and subconsciously retracted his foot.

"Let this farce be over, people of Paris."

His stern eyes swept over every crowd of demonstrators who tried to rush up, and he alone held a gun, and forcefully suppressed the impassioned emotions of the revolutionary masses.

Napoleon took a step forward.

The others actually subconsciously took a step back, not only the gun in his hand, but also the eyes that looked like the First Emperor. The invisible aura oppressed the others and did not dare to move, and his stern rebuke alone overshadowed the righteous indignation of the crowd present.

The myth of the Bonaparte family, painstakingly created by Napoleon III, was fulfilled at this time, and some of the people present directly regarded the dwarf in front of him as the emperor.

"From the first step of storming the Bourbon Palace, you are pushing the executioners to strangle the country."

Napoleon pressed the other party word by word, without fear of the people of Paris, who were a hundred times more numerous than him.

"Are you going to be an accomplice in the betrayal of France?"

"Who are you?"

Simon, the leading republican, stood up, pointed at Napoleon and said, "Shut up, we're saving the country." Abolish the empire, long live the republican system! ”

"Long live the people of Paris!"

Simon wanted to rekindle the mood of the people, but his voice alone echoed in front of the colonnades of the Palais Bourbon, and Napoleon's momentum suppressed the excitement of the people.

They looked up at him with fear, like a king over all beings.

Simon retorted with a red face, "You're just a clown imitating Napoleon." ”

Napoleon stared at the empty face and revealed the republican ambitions on the spot, word by word.

"You are nothing but a hypocritical patriotic thief."

The figure in front of the Palais Bourbon did not take a step back.

"Simon, republican, huh? You have already prepared a list of the new government, ready to contact the Orleanists, to squeeze the Blanquists and Jacobins out of the republic, who are only carrying out a small conspiracy of domination under the banner of the Republic, wake up, workers and citizens of Paris, the bourgeois Republican Party has not included you in the government's cabinet list at all, they are simply using your group to overthrow Napoleon III and steal the fruits of victory themselves. ”

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar. The Blanquists focused their eyes on Simon and his republicans with suspicion and distrust, gradually drawing a line between the two sides.

This is exactly what Napoleon wanted to see.

Shake out the little calculations in the hearts of the republicans in front of the Workers' Party.

"As for you republicans, they are nothing more than a bunch of hypocritical patriotic thieves who are carrying out a stupid and senseless revolution at the instigation of careerists!"

Every word of Napoleon revealed the truth about the republicans to them in blood.

"Look what you're all doing! The Prussian army is about to lay siege to the city of Paris, but you are still fighting for the ownership of the republic, and you are shamelessly declaring that you are fighting for the future of France. If you really want the future of this country, you will not come here to threaten the legislature, but to join the French army to fight against the Prussian butchers who have invaded our land! Napoleon III and his army had surrendered, and they had no reason to go any further, but Prussia did so, and they were despicable invaders who coveted French soil, not for the liberation of France. ”

Bismarck tried to use the name of liberating France as a pretext for the next cession of Alsace-Lorraine from France, but Napoleon revealed the truth here straightforwardly.

"Quiet, citizens of Paris, listen to me."

The demonstration at the Palais Bourbon turned into an impassioned speech, and Napoleon succeeded in diverting the attention of the masses from the raging revolutionary tide to the Prussian invasion. The Blanquists had been subverted by Napoleon's demagogic eloquence, and whatever justification Simon tried to make would be seen as a lie of the despicable.

Napoleon's gaze swept over every wistful look, with a fanaticism and desire for victory in their eyes, no one really wanted to embrace the republican system, and the revolutionary crowd only used this coup d'Γ©tat to vent their dissatisfaction with Napoleon III's surrender. The birth of the Third Republic was a sudden accident, and before the Royalists could react in the panic, the Republicans proclaimed a republic in the town hall.

The people of Paris were just eager to wash away the war bullet of shame, and Napoleon handed that bullet into the hands of the people with his own hands.

"Glory belongs to the people, France has never declined, he is just waiting for the return of a king. What you need is not an emperor, not a republic, but a savior of Paris. ”

"I am Napoleon Bonaparte."

The Place de la Concorde in front of the Palais Bourbon was quiet and could only hear the wind passing through the crowd, and the man standing on the stone steps was not tall, but he had a natural leadership charisma.

His actions are more like a sword given to the French people than a politician who can only talk about it.

Every word was a thunderbolt that smashed on the chests of the Parisians at the Place de la Concorde.

Everyone listened quietly to his last words.

A sentence that is enough to provoke the faith and fanaticism of the French people to the myth of invincibility.

"The people of France, I'm back."
