Chapter 6: The Arrogance of the Anglo-Saxon Gang

Dr. James was embarrassed for several seconds by Jérôme's sarcasm, and instead of a revolution in the London stock exchange,[note 1] it had stirred up a great revolutionary movement across the English Channel, which in turn had counteracted on Britain and forced Britain to reform.

In order to preserve what little patriotism he had, Dr. James stiffened his neck and retorted: "We Angsa people are a people with a spirit of contract, and we will never be like those mobs in France!" ”

"Poofha...... The spirit of the contract? Jérôme couldn't help but laugh.

This laughter annoyed Dr. James, and he couldn't help but retort, "Your Excellency, what's so funny about this! ”

Jérôme retracted his smile and replied with an extremely curled expression: "Sir, your so-called spirit of contract is that the factory owner is free to dismiss the workers? Does the freedom of the poor to starve to death represent the spirit of contract? Was the repeal of the Poor Law also the spirit of contract? ”

Dr. James was speechless by Jérôme's barrage of questions, and he was petty-bourgeois, with a hint of sympathy for the underclass, and on the other hand, an aversion to change.

Any change could cause his class to fall, and James felt uncomfortable at the thought of being in the company of the filthy workers.

Not to mention the propaganda of the Kingdom of Britain to demonize the revolution day and night, which made the middle class prefer reform to revolution.

After a half-ring, James then retorted: "Revolution brings only destruction and chaos!" Give careerists an opportunity to take advantage of, and you Bonaparte are the beneficiaries of the riots in the first place! Of course, you have spared no effort in propagating the revolution! ”

"Sir!" Faced with the question of Bonaparte's honor, Jérôme's expression was extremely solemn, he flicked the dust of his jacket and said in a serious tone: "The Bonaparte family has never been the beneficiary of the revolution!" The glory of the Bonaparte family never came from the old surnames, but from all the French peoples.

The Bonaparte family was chosen by the French people to be the spokesmen of the French people. When France does not need Bonaparte, the French people will let France withdraw from the stage! The revolution may have brought about an unorganized uprising, but it did not last long! A new government will emerge! Whether it is a republic or an empire, it is just a product of maintaining order! Moreover, France was not a nation of insurrection, revolutions always had highs and lows, and the Bonapartes were not a radical family, and we also longed for a set of ......"

Jérôme preached his revolutionary conservative theories while carefully observing Dr. James' expression.

Dr. James was initially somewhat resistant to Jérôme's answer, until Jérôme spoke of maintaining the existing order and system and carrying out appropriate reforms, and Dr. James's expression gradually became somewhat agreeable.

Hope everything goes well!

Jérôme thought silently in his heart.

"That's it! Your Excellency, I am only a doctor, and I am not interested in political topics! Dr. James, who was still unsatisfied, said a word to Jérôme against his will.

"Sorry doctor!" Jérôme also responded with a feigned apology: "I'm a person who always talks about politics!" ”

"Huh?" Doctor James's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he still asked casually: "Your Excellency, I heard that a general election is being held in France!" I don't know, if you're going to participate! ”

"Of course!" Jérôme nodded without hesitation, and then added: "Not only me, but the entire Bonaparte family will participate!" ”

"Do you want to go back to France?" Dr. James's tone was a little hurried, and he seemed to be a little too concerned about the situation of the Bonaparte family.

"I said that the Bonapartes could return to the stage at any time if the French people needed it!" Jérôme replied with a smile.

Then, the conversation changed: "However, the Bonaparte family is not willing to disrupt the order under the existing system!" The years of revolution have passed, and the Bonapartes do not want to take on the task of destroying Europe! ”

"You can't ......"

Dr. James seemed to want to say something, but Jérôme immediately interrupted Dr. James and reminded, "Doctor, we have discussed topics that go beyond the boundaries between doctors and families!" I now suspect that I am not dealing with a doctor, but with a British bureaucrat! ”

Dr. James realized that he seemed to have trespassed, and he smiled and turned to enter the room.

Jérôme, who stayed where he was, muttered quietly: "I don't know if this will reach Buckingham Palace, it's really exciting!" ”

In the room, Dr. James asked Louis. Bonaparte spoke with Miss Howard about vains and Napoleon III's physical condition.

"You mean Louie, his body can't hold up for much longer?"

Although Howard already had the answer in her heart, she couldn't hold back her tears when the doctor handed down the death verdict.

"Yes!" Dr. James said regretfully: "Your Excellency's illness was discovered too late, and now all we can do is to prolong the Prince's life as much as possible!" Although the intravenous method is somewhat dangerous, it may allow His Excellency to hold on for a longer time! ”

"Risking your life just to keep Louie's life going longer! I don't agree? Howard rejected Dr. James' advice.

Dr. James turned his gaze to Jérôme, hoping that Jérôme would convince Howard!

"Doctor, I agree with your plan!" Louis. Bonaparte's weak voice came from the hospital bed!

"No, Louie, that's too dangerous!" Howard grabbed Louie's hand and responded, "Can't afford to lose you!" ”

"Howard, it's nothing!" Napoleon III comforted in a hoarse voice: "I have been in the rain of bullets in Italy, and this danger is nothing to me!" [Note 2]

Terminally ill Louie. Bonaparte seemed to regain his former radiance, an indescribable sense of confidence and calmness bursting from his body.

In Louis. At Bonaparte's request, Howard agreed to an intravenous regimen.

PS: 1, The poor potato harvest in Ireland in 1847 triggered the volatility of the Britannia stock exchange, and the railroad bubble was ruthlessly shattered along with the fluctuations and spread throughout Europe. Under the double blow of the economic downturn and the potato crisis, the people of Paris set off a great revolution.

2. In 1831, Napoleon III and his brother participated in an anti-papal revolt in Rome, but in the end, the two brothers did not fully participate in the revolt because of the attitude of the rebel leaders towards Austria and France.
