Since receiving Eugène. After the news from the French side, Rúet. Bonaparte was ready to meet with Tocqueville's envoy at any time.

In order to understand the "enemy", Jérôme. Bonaparte also went to the bookstore to buy a copy of Tocqueville's book On American Democracy.

Despite the fact that Tocqueville's book made Jérôme. Bonaparte felt a pang of discomfort, which even made Jérôme. Bonaparte came up with the idea that Tocqueville was "Anren", but Jérôme. Bonaparte managed to read Tocqueville's book.

[Anren: A supporter of Enronde thought at the end of the 20th century, when neoliberalism was in the prevalence of the United States. The idea is that the government should loosen its grip on business, even without a fully capitalist social system under the leadership of the government. Reagan was a well-known proponent of the ideas of the Enronist doctrine, and during his neoliberal reforms, he abolished the post-Roosevelt U.S. government's right to regulate and intervene in business. 】

"Your Highness, I have found the hotel where Tocqueville is located!" Captain Letty, who was in charge of "intelligence", reported to Jérôme. Bonaparte reported.

"Huh?" Jérôme. Bonaparte put down the book in his hand and looked up and asked, "How did you find it?" ”

"When I was out on my patrol, I happened to meet a young man who asked me for news about you!" Letty to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"You told him?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked rhetorically.

"Of course not!" Captain Letty immediately took credit: "However, follow the young man to a hotel!" After a "friendly" exchange with the innkeeper, the innkeeper told me the traveler's name! ”

"Huh? Not bad! "Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded in satisfaction, got up and patted Letty on the shoulder and encouraged: "The empire needs a talent like you!" ”

"It is my duty to be loyal to the Empire!" Letty humbly responds to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

Jérôme. After Bonaparte encouraged Letty again, he vaguely issued an "eviction order" to Letty.

Fleury was replaced by Jérôme. Bonaparte called.

"Mr. Fleury, I have an important task for you now!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Fleury.

"Your will is where I go! Who are you going to shred? "Fleury still retains the iron-blooded style of a soldier to respond to Jérôme. Bonaparte.

Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded in satisfaction and gave Fleury the task of inviting Tocqueville.

Fleury, who had finally been entrusted with the important task, was thrilled to Jérôme. Bonaparte saluted and promised to complete his mission before leaving.

"Your Highness, how can you entrust such an important task to him!"

Tyran appeared with a washbasin made of brass.

Jérôme. Bonaparte took a steaming towel from the washbasin and wiped his cheeks: "A rough man can make them let their guard down against me, our enemies are not only Monsieur Thiers, who wants to treat us as puppets, but also the republicans......"

Tyran nodded as if he didn't understand.

Half an hour later, Fleury returned to Jérôme. Bonaparte informed Tocqueville that he would visit the following day.

……

May 14, 1848, 10 a.m.

A brown carriage pulled up in front of Louis Mansion, and Tocqueville and Lalai got out of it.

Jérôme. Bonaparte and members of the Bonapartist party personally walked down the steps to greet Tocqueville.

"Welcome!"

Jérôme. Bonaparte and Tocqueville's hands were together.

The two entered the Louis Mansion side by side.

"Please!" Jérôme. Bonaparte stretched out his hand and made an inviting gesture, Tocqueville sat on the sofa, and the secretary Lale stood at Tocqueville's right, his eyes peeking at Jérôme from time to time. Bonaparte.

Pesini then served as Jérôme. Bonaparte's secretary also sided with Jérôme. Bonaparte's room.

After all the main characters are seated, the "confrontation" officially begins.

"On behalf of the French Republic, I would like to express my gratitude to Louis. Regret the death of Prince Napoleon! Tocqueville looked regretful, and turned his right hand toward Lale.

Understandingly, Lalai opened the package and handed Tocqueville a piece of paper.

"This is a private message from Lamartine's administration!" Tocqueville gave the letter to Jérôme. Bonaparte.

Jérôme who took the letter. Bonaparte and his entourage glanced at Lamartine's private messages, which were probably also directed at Louis. The regret of Napoleon's death.

"My cousin had always been a republican, so he preferred to be called Louis. Napoleonic citizens, not princes of the old times! The name Prince has long been history! Now, you and I are both citizens! "Jérôme. Bonaparte "reminded" Tocqueville.

Tocqueville, of course, would not have believed Louis, who twice wanted to restore the Empire. Napoleon was a republican, but how many true republicans are there in French politics today.

"Okay! Jérôme. Bonaparte citizens! Tocqueville said as he got down the slope.

"I hope my cousin will return to France as a republican, as a rebel, and not as a war criminal! The sins of the Bourbon era should be abolished! "Jérôme. Bonaparte made a offer to Tocqueville.

"This historical legacy, Lamartine's government agreed to abolish it!" Tocqueville decisively agreed with Jérôme. Bonaparte's conditions.

Jérôme. Bonaparte looked at Tocqueville suspiciously, he did not believe that French politics had no strings attached.

As Jérôme. As Bonaparte had anticipated, Tocqueville also made the conditions.

Tocqueville said thoughtfully: "Lamartine is in power and hopes that the Bonaparte family will give up this election!" ”

"Impossible!" Jérôme. Bonaparte objected: "Lamartine has no right to deprive the Bonaparte family of the right to participate in the elections. According to the constitution of the French Republic, any French who has reached the age of 18 and has lived in France for more than two years can participate in the elections! ”

"The citizens of Jérôme seem to know the French constitution very well!" Tocqueville looked at Jérôme in amazement. Bonaparte.

"If Lamartine wants to deprive the Bonaparte family of the right to participate in politics, the Bonaparte family will not agree! We will use everything we have to fight Lamartine's rule! Jérôme Bonaparte said categorically.

Once this and only opportunity is lost, the Bonapartes will never be able to return to French politics.

Jérôme. Bonaparte would never allow such a thing to happen, even if it was a struggle against the republicans who were in the ascendancy.
