Chapter Seventy-One: Orthodox Ambitions
The second is to ask for recommendation votes
Thiers left the Tuileries Palace in trepidation and walked tremblingly in the direction of the residence. This time, he didn't even dare to look back to see if there was a "hound" following behind him, nor did he dare to change his route at will to get rid of the other party, which would show his intentions more obviously, and he didn't want to gamble his family's life on the Russian turntable. In particular, it shuddered to think of the scene when Napoleon executed the exiles at the Paris Opera House without a word.
As the carriage jolted, Thiers opened the window and saw soldiers outside posting notices announcing that martial law was about to be imposed in Paris. The current martial law is not only to increase the number of military patrols on the streets, but also to implement a food supply quota system, leaving aside the food supply for the army, and the rest is only enough to supply for half a year.
In fact, Napoleon wanted to move the citizens of Paris to the southern provinces as much as possible, so that he would have enough rations to support what could have been a long war of attrition. In the unlikely event that Paris was besieged for longer than expected, the riots of the Paris Commune could still come.
The historical record of this was due to the traitorous actions of the Thiers government that led to the revolt of the Paris Commune, but there is no mention of the fact that the citizens of the time could no longer tolerate the Provisional Government's treatment of them as animals.
The black leather boots passed the mud of the pothole and continued down the next block.
Unease appeared on the faces of the people on the side of the road.
Thiers lowered the curtain and fell silent. As long as the main war faction led by Napoleon held power in Paris, there was basically no possibility of negotiating peace with Prussia. Although Thiers was extremely disgusted with the traitorous behavior of the royalists, he at least saved Paris from a crisis of human suffering.
At Napoleon's orders, after Thiers' return, he sent a telegram to Chambord, far away in London, informing Bismarck of his demands and suggestions intact, but he did not disclose a word about the rebellion that Napoleon had known. Chambol said that as long as Prussia could support his return to China as king as Louis XVIII did, he would be willing to agree to all unequal treaties.
Chambord had been looking forward to becoming king of France for too long, and he knew that this might be the last chance of the Bourbon restoration, and if he didn't grasp it, he might not have a chance to have no heirs. It was also a forced move to give in to Louis, Count of Paris, and even gave up his position after his death in order to be able to win over the Orleans party.
At the behest of Count Chambord, Thiers sent the telegram back to Larsie and gave Bismarck's treaty to the other side.
At the other party's villa, Thiers had a secret conversation with Larsie. On the one hand, the representatives of the Orleans party, on the other hand, the pillars of the Orthodox, and the details of the cooperation between the parties need to be supplemented and improved.
"This treaty is really harsh...... But Bismarck did everything, even the suppression of the Paris riots, no wonder he dared to make such a sky-high price. β
As the last insistence of the Orthodox faction in Paris, Larsey put together the treaty and the telegram, looked up and said to Thiers, "Does His Excellency the Comte de Paris have any other opinions?" β
Thiers replied crisply.
"As long as he can get the position of king, he has no opinion."
His neatness was only a means of later showing loyalty to Napoleon, and he had always been pessimistic about the restoration of Chambord, and since Napoleon learned the secrets of the royalists, Thiers had been looking for an opportunity to eradicate all the royalists with the help of Napoleon's methods.
In any case, he also thought that instead of bringing the royalists to power, it would be better to build a dictatorial, personal government, and form a conservative republican regime. Let the power of the individual be in charge of the Congress, and become the new "Napoleon Bonaparte".
However, Thiers' greatest opponent was none other than Napoleon, who had the key evidence.
In order to obtain the position of head of the provisional government, Thiers had already formed a bold idea in his mind, but he had to wait until the end.
Larsey said half-mockingly, "The Count of Paris has always wanted to sit back and enjoy it, after all, the Bourbon Orthodox Party is accused of colluding with Prussia, and it is we who suppress the citizens of Paris, but he is the next heir to the throne." β
Thiers hurriedly explained, "Your Excellency Larsey, you have misunderstood, this time, the Orleans party will unconditionally support the Orthodox counterattack. β
"Unconditional support?"
As an old fox in politics, Thiers had deliberately pulled Cole into the game, originally he wanted to win over Gramont, but the other party cleverly rejected this sinister request.
"Well, even the Bonapartist Pact, Puye Cole, was equally willing to support the monarchy rather than the republic. So now we have three cards in our hand, enough for the Orthodox to turn the tables, but when the coup d'Γ©tat is successful, you must follow our previous agreement. β
Thiers placed Cole's letter in front of him, and the man who was supposed to be the finance minister of the Thiers government joined the plan for the adventure.
The more people Thiers co-opted, the more opponents he eliminated with the help of Napoleon when he was liquidated.
"Of course."
After listening to Thiers's explanation, Larsie slowly stood up, his tone a little excited. Since the failure of Louis XVIII's restoration, he waited almost forty years for this opportunity.
Cole was a staunch Bonapartist and even had the gold veins of the Banque de France in his hands, and if even Bonaparte were to be equally loyal to the orthodox monarchy, the hope of restoration would be greatly increased.
Without funding, the restoration is just a pipe dream.
It's just that Thiers calculated to trap everyone into this sinister trap, and after experiencing the initial helplessness, Thiers finally found an opportunity to fight back.
"Very well, now you can come with me."
Thiers asked curiously, "Where are you going?" β
At this moment, Larsi had let down his guard. It was decided to develop a deeper cooperation with Thiers.
"Go and see the other royalist members who are plotting to overthrow the Provisional Government, and since the Prussians have agreed, it is time to begin to implement our plan."
