Chapter 66: The Yellow Sparrow Follows
On July 3, 1848, the vigorous June Revolution ended with the ruthless repression of the Kafenjak, and the workers fell prematurely to the barricades of Paris, under rifles and bayonets, without waiting for the social revolution they had dreamed of. The brutal French army drove them out of Paris without mercy, leaving them to fend for themselves.
General Caffenjac, whose hands were bloody, also got his wish, and his temporary acting consulship was successfully turned into the real first consul of France.
However, the term of this first ruling power is less than five months, and the election results will be settled in December.
At that time, Kafenyak will step down on his own, of course, Kafenyak has another way, that is, to use his current power to lead the dissolution of the National Assembly without being constrained by any forces, and he will become the first consul in the true sense.
This is also the situation that Thiers and others in the Party of Order fear.
However, after resolving the domestic riots, Kafenjac apparently did not learn from Napoleon's ideas. Ambitious, he believes that his decisiveness saved France, and the whole of France should vote for him in the December election.
Unbeknownst to Kafenjak, however, that from the moment he assumed the position of First Consul, all his rights would automatically expire in December.
It was impossible for the Party of Order to bring another Bonaparte to power, and in order to prevent him, they were even willing to unite with the Bonapartist faction.
On 8 July, news of the massacre of Paris reached Belgium, Prussia and Rome through the newspapers in Paris.
On this day, the weather in Rome with a Mediterranean climate was exceptionally hot.
Even the people who gathered to march in the past did not want to enjoy the feeling of sauna under the scorching sun, and every house opened the windows to ventilate, and even then the whole room was still like a sauna.
Many people choose to swim in the Tiber River to eliminate the effects of the heat.
Jérôme. Bonaparte was also one of them.
However, instead of going for a dip in the Tiber, he chose a shady spot to fish in the upper reaches of the Tiber.
Literal fishing.
He was accompanied by Charles. Bonaparte with his nephew Lucien. Louis.
Captain Letty brought a group of temporary helpers with large bags and small bags to place the items needed for fishing and rocking chairs near the shade of the trees.
Jérôme. Bonaparte and Charles. Bonaparte and the two men each held a fishing rod.
Crumbled breadcrumbs are sprinkled in the water to attract fish to feed.
Struggling to twist the earthworm by Jérôme. Bonaparte "mercilessly" put on the iron hook, threw it into the crumbs, and then sat down in the rocking chair and yawned and waited for the fish to take the bait.
Shire. Bonaparte hung a ball of bait on the hook as he glanced at the languid Jérôme. Bonaparte said angrily: "Paris is in chaos like that, you are quite leisurely!" ”
"Huh?" Jérôme. Bonaparte squinted lazily and let the rocking chair sway back and forth, and the fishhook followed the rocking chair back and forth: "Isn't it that Kafenjac guy who caused a massacre in Paris, as for all the fuss!" ”
"You ......"
Jérôme. Bonaparte's nonchalant appearance made Charles. Bonaparte was so angry that he even wondered if handing over the ruby to the Pope was the right choice in the first place.
In order to appease the cousin Jérôme. Bonaparte slowly opened his eyes and said unhurriedly: "Everything is under my control!" How could I have been on stage without Kafenjac! ”
"How can I go on stage without Kafenjak?" Shire. Bonaparte repeated Jérôme. Bonaparte's words, he looked at Jérôme suspiciously. Bonaparte.
Jérôme. Bonaparte had to explain to his cousin: "Before the terrible massacre of the Caffenjacks in Paris, the republicans enjoyed great prestige in Paris. Today, the prestige of the republicans is declining with the dictatorship of Kafenyak, and the selfless General Kafenjak helps the Party of Order, as well as helping us to clear the most stubborn obstacles.
The Montagnard party in parliament may have long regarded General Kafenjak as a thorn in their side, and did the citizens who had experienced the turmoil in Paris and the moderate republicans like to bombard the Parisian guys with artillery? Having lost the support of the Montagnard Party and the citizens of Paris, Cafenjac was not destined to lose the majority of support, not to mention the whole of France, even in Paris. ”
Jérôme. Bonaparte paused, pointed to himself and said confidently: "But I, Jérôme. Bonaparte did not suppress the workers and did not bombard Paris with artillery. On the contrary, I will call on all sectors to unite to tide over the difficulties, and I will use the massive infrastructure to stop the French workers from falling into unemployment! I am with the monopoly of the Catholic Church on the right of education in France! I also had no experience commanding armies like my uncle...... In short, I am able to meet the needs of the whole French people, so why should I fail! ”
Jérôme. Bonaparte's confident answer made Charles. Bonaparte seemed to have traveled back in time to the time of the emperor, who was so full of self-confidence.
"I have a doubt, though!" Shire. Bonaparte's fishing rod flicked, and the improvised float floating on the water plunged into the water. Bonaparte grasped the rod with his left hand, quickly retracted the line with his right hand, and asked: "You have satisfied the interests of all those in France, so whose interests have been damaged?" ”
"No one was damaged!" Jérôme. Bonaparte glanced at the slightest movement of the fishing rod, shook his head and said, "Or that the person who is injured will not realize that his interests are damaged at all." ”
Jérôme. Bonaparte weaved a community of interests with lies, and only the proletariat suffered, but the proletarians were already deprived of their rights by Kafenjak.
After the bloody repression, they were left with only hatred of Kafenyak for a short time, and they were deprived of their political rights and could only use their votes to retaliate against Kafenyak.
A sardine was killed by the Charles. Bonaparte removed the hook and placed it in the bucket.
"Damn, are you really going to have the Air Force today?"
Jérôme. Bonaparte muttered in Chinese.
Although he is not a fisherman, the Air Force is really the biggest insult to a fishing enthusiast.
Right here in Jérôme. When Bonaparte was at a loss, Captain Letty walked up to him and handed it to Jérôme. An unsplit letter from Bonaparte, the address of the envelope is from rue de Cussell, Paris, where Mathilde lived.
"I'm out of company!"
Jérôme. Bonaparte said apologetically to his cousin, who nodded and continued fishing.
