"Alas! It's a pity that their officers are only Kafenjak, that guy is the first to look forward! ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte lamented that the massacre order of the June Revolution had led to the promotion of some officers in the army, and these "heroes" of the June Revolution rallied around Kafenjac in order to maintain the legitimacy of their exploits.

It's hard to win their support now, and only Jérôme. When Bonaparte became president, he encircled them in the name of the emperor's nephews, so that these officers could enter his command.

"Your Majesty, I don't think there's a need to rush about the army!" "According to the observations of his subordinates on Kafenyak, that guy from Kafenjak still wants to follow the path of elections. On this path, you are firmly ahead! We just have to wait quietly for the final result! ”

"That's right! Your Majesty, at least the soldiers love you! Pessini responded.

Jérôme. Bonaparte shook his head, and said with a slightly hideous expression: "What I want is not their love, I want to control them like an uncle, I want to take them to everything!" This army beast must be tamed, I will smash the honor that the Russian Empire stole that winter, I will tread the German Confederation that is so ugly that I vomit! ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte's "mad words" sent chills to Pesini and Ruet, who could not have imagined that the leader to whom they were loyal would be a war maniac like his uncle.

Oh my! Couldn't France avoid being coerced by a bunch of madmen?

Ruet's heart was filled with sorrow for what would happen to France, but this did not prevent him from continuing his allegiance to the Bonapartist faction.

Only by changing the dynasty will Ruai be able to get everything he wants.

Even if His Majesty the Emperor is really the devil, he has to walk with the devil with his head.

Besides, after the last failure, His Majesty must have already had a countermeasure in his heart.

In order to ease the atmosphere of Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled again and crossed his hands: "Of course, this will not be possible until we have the power in our hands completely!" ”

"Your Majesty, I firmly believe that you will be able to lead France to regain its lost glory!" Pesini looked reverently at Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"I'm convinced too! Under your leadership, we will be able to achieve a great victory than before! Rue followed suit with a disobedient compliment.

"Gentlemen, say less flattering words! I'm about to lose myself! "Jérôme. Bonaparte chuckled, turned his head to look out the window at the endless fields of wheat and the peasants toiling in the fields, and said, "Those people are our ticket storehouses, and they are also the objects for which we are protecting!" We must unite them against those who oppose us! ”

"Yes!" Pessini and Rue chimed in.

Jérôme. Bonaparte and Eugène. Rue chatted all the way and finally figured out Eugène. Rue is a man with whom he can share power.

The time gradually went from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., and after almost seven hours of travel, Jérôme. Bonaparte and the others finally arrived in Lyon from Marseille.

This city, which has existed since ancient Roman times, looks particularly solemn in the reflection of the setting sun, and on the two rivers of Rhône and Sein, which gave birth to Lyon, several inland river sailing boats are sailing downstream, and small black dots can be faintly seen on both sides of the river, and those residents who live by the river are carefully washing vegetables in baskets.

Jérôme sitting in a carriage. Bonaparte admired the natural scenery in front of him.

By the time the horse-drawn carriages entered the inner city from the outskirts of Lyon, Lyon was once again transformed into an inland river trading city as traditional as Marseille.

Many people on the streets also turned their attention to Jérôme. Bonaparte.

"Your Majesty, we need to spend the night in Lyon! Leave tomorrow! "Eugène. Ruie vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

Jérôme. Bonaparte bowed his head slightly in affirmation.

The carriage stopped at the foot of the steps of an upscale mansion on Avenue Melmoz, and Jérôme. Bonaparte and the others got out of the car.

Jérôme was warmly received by the owner of the mansion. Bonaparte and his party for Jérôme. Bonaparte arranged one of the best in the mansion.

Jérôme entering the room. Bonaparte was just about to lie down on the bed and enjoy a moment of silence when he heard the voice of Pesini outside the door: "Your Majesty, Marshal Bijo's chamberlain asks to see you!" ”

What? Marshal Hira!

Jérôme who heard the words "Marshal Bijo". Bonaparte instantly thought of the Algerian "hero", Louis. Philip's "Joker".

[Refers to the 1848 Louis Brown Bullet in 1848. Unable to withstand the pressure from the masses, Philippe removed Marshal Bijo, who had been able to suppress the revolt of the citizens of Paris. Marshal Bijo came to Paris like a clown, and then was abandoned by the monarch like a clown. 】

By the way, he seems to be the commander of the Italian Front now!

Desperate to establish Jérôme with the military. When Bonaparte heard the name of Marshal Bijo, he got up from the bed in an instant, tidied up a little of his image, and then opened the door.

Pessini entered the room with a middle-aged man in military uniform who appeared to be in his mid-40s.

The attendant courteously addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte greeted: "Hello, Your Excellency! ”

"Hello!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied to the middle-aged man.

"On behalf of my commander, Marshal Hira, I extend my sincere wishes to His Excellency the Prince! May Your Excellency the Prince succeed in the general election! The middle-aged man continued to compliment Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"Thank you Marshal Hiraka for your blessings!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said perfunctorily.

"Marshal Biruo hopes that the prince can set up a barracks and inspect the army!" The middle-aged man continued.

This old guy is hurting me!

A thought from Jérôme. Bonaparte's heart was rising, now that Kafenjac was still in power, and the emperor's nephew ran to the barracks, wasn't that provoking infighting in the republic?

Jérôme. Bonaparte's eyes flashed with disgust, but he quickly hid it, and he still had a professional smirk on his face: "Thank you Marshal Biro for your love!" It's just that I'm worried that my rash appearance in the barracks will cause unnecessary disputes, so forget it! ”

The middle-aged man showed a regretful expression: "Since the prince is unwilling to go to the army to inspect, then this matter will be stopped!" The marshal hopes that His Excellency the Prince will be able to admire his face and attend the banquet! ”

Later, the middle-aged man added: "There are many young officers of the Republic at the banquet who want to meet His Excellency the Prince!" ”

Should I go or not?

Jérôme. Bonaparte was in trouble left and right, and the banquet of the marshal was bound to invite some promising officers of the army.

If they are willing to support themselves, their future path will definitely be smoother.
