The second more

Eugène Bonaparte's obituary was far more atmospheric than his father's, and the Journal de Paris devoted almost a page to his death, detailing Napoleon IV's heroic deeds in helping the Boers against the English invaders in South Africa, and singing about Eugène's bravery and courage as a Frenchman.

However, the newspaper deliberately downplayed the status of Napoleon IV's royal family, portraying Eugène Bonaparte as a French hero. A national hero who died in the fight against invaders and tyranny.

As soon as the report came out, public opinion in Paris was in an uproar.

Now the French were also unhappy about the assassination of their deposed prince by the British. Even in the eyes of the most radical republicans, Napoleon IV was still the heir to the French throne, and he was not obliged to join the lower armies, much less to go to South Africa to help the descendants of a group of Dutch peasants. In the eyes of the vast majority of French people, he is still the noble heir to the royal family of Bonaparte. Although the French government has expelled all of them from the country, it will not change the established facts in the hearts of the French.

An heir to the French royal family, assassinated by the British in Africa, has touched a nerve with the French people.

Napoleon, who had always been silent, also stood up and actively participated in the condolences, and delivered a speech at the funeral of Eugène Bonaparte.

Even the rulers of France have already taken a stand, and this political event is tantamount to shocking the French cabinet.

Napoleon IV's funeral was much more lively than his father's, and was attended by almost all the top echelons of the French government, although most of them had nothing to do with the Bonaparte family, and some were former enemies.

However this was a political signal, a signal for a political offensive by France against Britain.

Eugène's body was not sent back to England, but was solemnly performed in France. The French government had informed her that she could return to Paris, but Eugène refused.

So Eugenie never saw his son in the end.

Napoleon stood in front of the grave, and Bonaparte and his son ended up buried in the same cemetery.

"I am standing here today not to attend the funeral of the heir to the French royal family, to regret the loss of feudal power, but to see in front of me a great French hero. He pursued freedom, equality, and oppression without any discrimination. He fell on this road, and will become a beacon for the French people to move forward, guiding them forward! ”

Napoleon looked at the different eyes of the crowd around him and said calmly, "I hope everyone can remember his name and leave an indelible mark in history, he is Napoleon IV, the pride of the Bonaparte family." We will punish those who persecute freedom, such as the evil empire across the English Channel! ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience immediately erupted in a burst of discussion.

This was the first time that Napoleon had used the term "Evil Empire" to describe Great Britain in public, and some even suspected that Napoleon was trying to use this event to challenge the British.

Chancellor Trochu was somewhat overwhelmed, he did not understand why Napoleon would say such things in public.

"Feuds can be reconciled, but the scumbags who covet the whole of Europe, they are a bunch of filthy and disgusting toilet plugs, they hinder the rise of Europe, and now this group of people wants to turn over and continue to divide us, because a united Europe will harm their interests."

"Europe should be a community of the will of all peoples! In the future, it is bound to move towards unity! ”

This declaration of European unity spread like a political plague from the funeral of Napoleon IV, and most shockingly was the British Foreign Office in Paris. The telegram was immediately sent to the British Foreign Secretary, Robert Cecil.

Names like the Evil Empire don't matter to them, anyway, the British have to grab their territory, so it's okay to say that they are the Evil Empire. But if Napoleon wanted to create a European commonwealth, it was somewhat dangerous.

At this time, the newly appointed British Prime Minister Gladstone was discussing with Queen Victoria how to solve the matter. This is not just a political incident, but also involves grievances between European royal families, especially the British royal family. Victoria was so pleased with Napoleon IV that he even promised Empress Eugenie that he could marry his youngest daughter to him and give him the position of duke.

Napoleon IV could have gone to London and not bothered with anything in Paris. But before his death, Napoleon III entrusted his son to the army, and the subtext was that he hoped that he would follow the path of his father in the future, seize real power in the army, and eventually launch a coup d'état to overthrow the regime and succeed smoothly to the throne.

Because his father and uncle were very experienced with this set of theories.

But they would never have imagined until they died that this very empirical theory had pitted the sole heir of the Napoleonic family.

"This was supposed to be a feud between the royal families, but now it's not so simple for even the French government to get involved. What's more, the current president of France is still Napoleon, who has always claimed to be resurrected. ”

Prime Minister Gladstone scratched his head and said to Queen Victoria, "Although the British government is at fault in this matter, the French are involved in our colonial operations, and this is already a secret declaration of war against Britain." ”

Queen Victoria glanced at him and reminded the forgetful prime minister.

"It's volunteers, and let's not forget that France has always claimed that they are a group of volunteers from the private sector, so the French government cannot restrict the movement of French citizens abroad. What they mean is that if you are looking for trouble, you will go to the trouble of the French voluntary organizations, but it is impossible to say that the heir of the Bonaparte family died at our hands. I was also very fond of that child, and I was planning to get married. Who knows how it will turn out in the end. The British government must take care of this matter properly, or I will come to you personally to trouble you, even if Empress Eugenie does not trouble you. ”

Prime Minister Gladstone hurriedly said, "Of course we will handle this matter carefully. There will never be any mistakes, and I think the most difficult thing to deal with is the French government. ”

"You are wrong, it is not the French government that is the most difficult to deal with, but the current regent of the Bonaparte family. Think about how to fool the past! ”

Queen Victoria sneered and corrected Prime Minister Gladstone's mistake. As soon as she finished speaking, Empress Eugenie burst into Queen Victoria's living room.

At this time, she was not the regent of the Bonaparte family, but a mother who had just learned of her son's death.

"Gladstone!"

A desperate and terrible cry resounded throughout Buckingham Palace, and she glared fiercely at the British Prime Minister, which was terrifying.

Queen Victoria glanced at him and whispered, "The British government's own mess, you clean up your own." ”

Prime Minister Gladstone squeezed out an ugly smile and tried to comfort the mother, who had just lost her son.

"Listen to me...... Madame Eugenie......"

"I don't want to hear it!"

The disheveled Eugenie rushed up, grabbed Gladstone by the collar, and said angrily

"The murderer of my son, give Eugène back to me!" Cat flutter Chinese
