Chapter 22: Layout to Create "God"
"Your Highness, why are we doing these things?"
Leaving the Times building, Pessini finally couldn't help the doubts in his heart.
In his view, the most important task now is not to think about how to house Louis. Napoleon?
Walk ahead of Jérôme. Bonaparte stopped and asked, "Pesini, what do you say we should do now?" ”
"Of course, to discuss a way to properly place His Majesty!" The loyal Pesini immediately blurted out.
"So how are we going to settle our cousin?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked rhetorically, "Is he buried in London?" ”
"Of course not!" Percini shook his head in refusal.
In Louis. When Napoleon was still alive, he told Pessigni more than once that he must return to France and kiss the French land.
Nowadays, the return to France has become Louis. Napoleon's legacy, Pessini did not dare to put Louis. Napoleon's body was buried in England.
"So how are we going to get my cousin back to France?" Jérôme. Bonaparte spread his hands and said to Pesini: "Two months ago, my cousin was expelled from France by the leader of the Republic, Lamartine!" We have no reason not to believe that the cousin's body will not be turned away from the country again by Lamartine! My cousin is still charged as a war criminal! ”
Jérôme, who mentions the word "war criminal". Bonaparte's expression was a bit playful and mocking.
"War criminals"? What an ironic two words, Louie. The charges that Philip imposed on his cousin for the sake of his dynasty.
It was still applicable in the Second Republic, and the leader of the republic was Lamartine or the Party of Order in the National Assembly.
Despite the sudden death of the Orleans dynasty, the soul of the Orleans dynasty is still entrenched in the body of the Second Republic, and is ready to seize this young "body" at any time.
In the end, the revolutions of the 19th century were nothing more than the revolutions of a small number of people.
The self-proclaimed elite never once looked squarely at the workers, and he contemptuously called them "inferior".
Even those who believe in communism are no exception, and few people can see "inferior" beings as truly equal beings as those two, and the remnants of the 18th-century hierarchy still linger in the 19th century.
"So, we ......" Pessini still didn't understand that Louis. How does the return of His Majesty Napoleon's body to France relate to his article in The Times.
"Pesini!" Jérôme. Bonaparte raised his head and opened his arms to soak up the sun and said: "Not only will I bring my cousin's body back to France, but I will also make my cousin's return as welcome to the people of Paris as the emperor did eight years ago!" ”
"So what should we do?" Percini blurted out.
"We're doing it now!" Jérôme. Bonaparte responded to Pesini: "Sometimes the power of public opinion can dictate the policy of a country!" We need to get our voice to Lamartine! ”
There is no one better than Jérôme. Bonaparte was more aware of the situation of the current French Republic, and in a hurry, they had to face a possible counter-offensive from within (Louis, who had actually lost the throne). Philip didn't have any intention of counter-attacking. and the threat of polar bears lurking behind Prussia and Austria.
The arrogant Tsar Nicholas in St. Petersburg more than once propagated that he would lead an army to eliminate the heresy of the French Republic.
The recognition of the United Kingdom is undoubtedly the most important thing, and the timid Lamartine will certainly not ignore this matter that has surprised the "friendly countries"?
"That's why you're using the power of the Times?" Pesini vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte's bold plan was astonished.
The power of public opinion is indeed very strong, but it is also very likely to backfire on themselves.
"Your Highness, if the Lamartine government really wants to tear its face, wouldn't we be even more passive." Pesini asked with concern.
"Therefore, we must draw not only the power of the United Kingdom, but also the power of France!" Jérôme. Bonaparte made a point of emphasis: "Especially the strength of our followers, Pesini must have contacted many people during his eight years in France!" Hope you don't let me down this time! ”
During Napoleon III's eight years in prison, Pessini co-opted a large number of speculators in a plot to overthrow the Orleans dynasty while helping Napoleon III to communicate with the outside world.
With the help of the internal and external forces of France, Lamartine is dumb and can't say what he suffers.
"I see!" Pesini replied with a slight startle.
Once upon a time, he was also a master of manipulating public opinion.
After years of running around for His Majesty, he almost forgot that he really shouldn't have to eat.
"By the way, and ......" Jérôme. Bonaparte suddenly thought of something and said to Pessini: "Let the Bonapartians in Paris be more restrained, and don't be caught in the middle of things!" In the next month, France is about to undergo a sea change."
Jérôme. It occurred to Bonaparte that in another month's time, the atrocities against the workers, led by the hard-line republicans, would begin.
The June Revolution did not happen in a day or two, and the accumulation of nearly four months intensified the contradictions between the two classes to a certain extent.
Jérôme. Bonaparte had to complete all his plans before the fool Lamartine left office, otherwise if the Caffingac nephew came to power, it would be difficult to carry out the plan, and he might be sent to prison by the executioner.
Historically, his cousin was almost suspected by Kafenjac of being associated with the June Revolution (during which some members of the Bonapartist Party were indeed discovered), and considered sending him to prison.
He's not an easy character to deal with! If you don't make trouble, you'll be sent to jail by this guy.
"Yes!"
Although Pesini did not understand what Jérôme's mouth was about the radical change, he followed the orders of his new superiors.
"Let's go! Let's go back! "Louis. Bonaparte did not ask Pesini how to contact the Bonapartists in France, and a good superior only needed to know the outcome of the matter, and then reward and punish.
Together, the two stopped a carriage carrying Pesini and Jérôme. Bonaparte returned to the mansion on King St. James Street.
Jérôme. Unbeknownst to Bonaparte and Pessini, the mansion on King St. James' Street was also welcoming an uninvited guest.
