The third more

Napoleon did not go directly to the Palais Bourbon, but went with Gambida to the secret interrogation room of the National Gendarmerie. He wanted to meet with the arrested guys.

Walk through the corridors of classical architecture and down the slippery steps at the end. Napoleon could even smell the damp, gloomy smell coming from the air.

Who would have thought that an abandoned, inconspicuous building would actually be the secret interrogation room of the National Security Council.

The basement has been repurposed, and the walls are covered with torture instruments. Some are even stained with coagulated blood, which makes people shudder.

This is a prison for people who are charged with crimes against national security, and the only thing that is more civilized than the Tsar's Imperial Council of Internal Affairs is that you will only be caught here and interrogated in an imperialist style only after there is solid evidence.

For the perpetrators, this is a hell of skinning.

At this time, the Bonaparte extremist who was tied to a stake was no more than 20 years old, and he still gritted his teeth and did not let go of his mouth under repeated interrogation. He just looked at the interrogators indifferently, gritted his teeth and said, "I will never speak!" ”

Suddenly, a crack opened in the door of the interrogation room, and as the gap widened, the young man who was stung by the light outside squinted, and as the vision gradually cleared, the Bonaparte extremists gradually saw the other party's appearance. It's just that when he saw Napoleon's face, the young man who had been calm suddenly became hideous, he looked at the person who walked in with rapid breathing, and subconsciously clenched his fists.

The object of the Bonaparte extremists, who they wanted to assassinate day and night, was now standing firmly in front of him. He stared at the young man who had attempted murder with a blank face.

Standing at Napoleon's side, Gambida explained in a whisper, "This is the Bonaparte extremist who tried to assassinate you, he is a down-and-out aristocrat." We tried to torture him to extract a confession, but he just wouldn't say who was complicit in the Bourbon Palace. ”

Of course, he was reluctant to speak, because he was not the only assassin. If I were Empress Eugenie, I would have put a few more pieces. It's just that this guy is unlucky to expose himself, and it is a little difficult to find his colleagues, but it's not that he can't ask. ”

By this time the young man had been beaten and staggered, but he still refused to speak. Just raised his head and stared at Napoleon, and spat out, "You dwarf pretending to be Napoleon, you are not qualified to be a representative of the Bonaparte family at all!" ”

"Do you have the qualifications? It's just a joke. I am Napoleon Bonaparte. If I declare the Bonaparte family illegitimate, all of Paris is not in a position to oppose my approach. ”

"Still won't tell who is behind the scenes?"

The interrogator said with a great headache, "We tried a lot of methods, but he just wouldn't speak. ”

Napoleon asked the other party rhetorically, turned around very calmly, and said to Gambita, "In fact, sometimes as long as you let him know what a near-death experience is, these people will naturally do it." If you don't believe me, I'll do it. Anyway, I have learned a little about the methods of torture to extract confessions. ”

Hearing that His Excellency the President was going to take matters into his own hands, the interrogators glanced at Gan Bi and did not know how to take Napoleon's words. And Gan Bida just nodded in acquiescence and said to them, "Just let Your Excellency the President come, anyway, you have nothing to do." ”

The young man being interrogated lay flat and tied to a chair, and Napoleon covered his face with a cloth, then took the kettle and poured water directly on the white cloth.

The sudden feeling of suffocation made the interrogated young man feel pain and convulsions, and he tried to break free, but he was tightly grabbed by his hands and feet, and he could not resist at all.

After being doused with water for dozens of seconds, Napoleon stopped pouring the water, removed the damp cloth from his face, and asked unceremoniously, "Tell me, who is the councillor in the Palais Bourbon who is connected with you?" If you say that, you will not be sinned. If you don't say it, I'll make your life worse than death. ”

However, Napoleon was only silent in response, and seeing that the other party still refused to speak, he had to continue to pour water on his face until the other party spoke.

"When you speak, you don't have to be tortured anymore. Until you open your mouth, I will always make you worse than dead, and I will always make you yearn for liberation. ”

Napoleon then handed the kettle to the man next to him, and told him to torture the man in the chair again and again until he could no longer hold his mouth.

After saying that, he walked out of the interrogation room and stood in the corridor quietly waiting for news.

In the interrogation room, which was not very soundproofed, there was a painful wail of a man.

Gan Bida stood next to him, listening to the creepy wails of pain in the interrogation room, and asked in a low voice, "Is this really possible?" ”

"Absolutely."

Napoleon had no doubts about the interrogation methods he had seen in the Lubyanka in his previous life, and no matter how strong a man could be forced to confess his crimes in the waterboarding torture that was worse than life or death.

"This is another tough battle, and our enemies have never let up. They tried to turn France back into an imperial state, but I would never allow that to happen. I guess that's how you feel, right? ”

Gan Bida listened and nodded slightly. In fact, Napoleon's methods were much more ruthless than his, and he was much more merciful than that of the commander of the national gendarmerie.

"Soon we will find out the traitors of Bonaparte and wipe them out. It's time for these moths who carry out dirty deeds in the name of our family to accept the punishment of France. It seems to me that Alexander III was too merciful to hang their attackers, and if it were me, they would have been worse off dying. ”

Napoleon closed his eyes silently, quietly waiting for it to end.

The waterboarding did not last long, the extreme Bonapartist relented, he could no longer bear the suffocation feeling of being drowned, and after half an hour of continuous action, he finally could not hold it anymore and was forced to confess all the crimes, including the contact who was hiding behind the scenes.

The door was opened, and Napoleon, as the victor, walked in, looking at the tortured and miserable guy in front of him, and asked calmly, "Can you tell me now who is behind this?" ”

"It was Grevy and Wilson, two councillors who were in league with the Bonapartists. He...... He promised to give us some political asylum so that we could have the opportunity to assassinate the president, and I knew that...... Every time, it's through a fixed form, and I don't know anything else, don't torture me anymore. ”

Grevy and Wilson.

Hearing the names of these two people, Napoleon was stunned, he did not expect that after Thiers and McMahon, there would be someone who would dare to jump out against his authority, and this person was none other than the guy he was familiar with.

"I thought it was someone, it turned out to be Grevey's idiot."

Originally, according to the trajectory of history, he should have become the third president of the French Third Republic at this time. However, due to Napoleon's dictatorship, he still sat in the position of president of the Chamber of Deputies, and his political ideas emphasized the extreme reduction of the power of the president and the expansion of the powers of the legislature. The foreign policy was cautious and opposed to colonial expansion.

A cowardly man whom the Conservatives could not even look down upon dared to unite with the Bonapartists against his own rule. I have to say that even cowardly men have their own ambitious side.

Gambida turned his head to look at Napoleon.

"What should I do now? Shall we immediately enter the Palais Bourbon and arrest him? ”

At the sound of an order, the members of the National Gendarmerie could storm the Palais Bourbon and drag Grevy, who was presiding over the meeting, to the interrogation agency for a cordial greeting. But Napoleon did not want to disturb the other party so early, and he decided to go to the Palais Bourbon for a dispensable meeting as originally planned.

Napoleon waved his hand, signaling the other party not to rush to do anything yet.

"No, let me talk to this guy first, and expose the hypocrisy in front of all the councillors. I also happen to want to see how many people are on the side of the republic. ”

He turned his head and looked at Gan Bida behind him, the corners of his mouth outlining an evil arc.

"It's not worth catching one or killing one. I'm going to uproot the small circle that was hiding behind me, and I won't leave a single one. ”
