"No, no, no! Mr. Thiers! ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte continued to put on a polite face and said to Thiers: "The fate of France does not depend on the National Assembly, but on you and your friends!" Your party, to be exact! ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte's blunt response made Thiers, who had wanted to talk to him in a rhetorical political nonsense, despise the rude Italian in front of him even more.

A fool with a Bonaparte halo.

Sneering to sneering, the smile on Thiers' face did not diminish in the slightest, and he unhurriedly opened the coffee storage jar placed on the round table, and the steaming coffee exuded a rich aroma and drifted to Jérôme. Bonaparte in front of him.

"Would you like to have some?" Thiers scooped a spoonful of coffee with an aluminum soup spoon and placed it in a cup.

"No need!" Jérôme. The corners of Bonaparte's mouth twitched slightly, it was the first time he had seen a coffee like Thiers.

Thier, who took a sip of coffee, put down his cup unhurriedly, shook his head, and said: "Monsieur Bonaparte, no one can influence the will of the National Assembly, and the will of the National Assembly can only be decided by all the people of France!" All my party and I can do is to convey the will of the people who are unable to raise their voices to the government through our mouths. Moreover, the National Assembly is not only us, but also the Republicans and the Mountain Party! They also represent the will of the majority of the people, so how can we say that the National Assembly depends on us? ”

Thiers' unnourished official rhetoric and a hint of arrogance impressed Jérôme. Bonaparte was a little irritated in his heart. But irritation is irritation, Jérôme. Bonaparte knew that it was not yet time to turn against the Party of Order, and that he could only accompany Thiers to continue such a game.

"Congressman Thiers, you should know that we are not dealing with the Republicans and the Monthill guys, they only want to mess up this beautiful France, while we are committed to making the whole of France more beautiful and rich! Revolution will not solve the problem, we must respect the existing order in France! "Jérôme. Bonaparte deliberately emphasized the word "we" in order to temporarily bind himself to the party of order.

"Huh? Monsieur Bonaparte, why did you come to me when you already had the confidence to lead the whole revival of France! Thiers addressed Jérôme in a mocking tone. Bonaparte responded.

"Councilor Thiers!" Jérôme. Bonaparte spread his hands to show his honesty: "To be honest, if France is still elected by universal suffrage, I have a good chance of becoming the president of France." Even if France really wants to put a wealth threshold on the electorate, I don't have a chance. ”

"Then Monsieur Bonaparte can wait quietly for the results of the election!" Thiers' tone remained unaltered in a mocking tone.

"But I'm not sure!" Jérôme. Bonaparte simply pretended to lie down and said: "And the Kafenac government came to me some time ago, and he told me that if I can give up participating in the election, he will make me the Minister of Public Works!" If the Party of Order is unwilling to support me as president, I will take into account the opinion of the Consul of Kafenjak, and there is nothing wrong with the Minister of Public Works! I've got a bunch of debts in order to be elected president, and I'm going to have to get it back! ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte's naked threat of profit caused a sense of tension in Thiers, who thought he had a chance of victory.

If Jérôme. If Bonaparte had promised that Kafenjac would abstain from the election, then Kafenjac's biggest rival would disappear and he would become the next president of the Republic.

What will be the attitude of the Party of Order when he becomes President of the Republic, and will he remove all the Party of Order from Parliament.

Thiers, who put himself in the perspective of Kafenac, instantly came up with the answer, don't look at Kafenjak now looking like he is obeying the command of the National Assembly, once he succeeds in becoming president of France, the first thing he will do must be to clean up the party of order in parliament.

At that time, I am afraid that I will be like a fish on a board to be slaughtered.

"I don't think you have to make a decision so quickly, the proposal to restrict property has not yet passed, and even if it is successful, did you not say that you still have a chance of winning, Monsieur Bonaparte?"

"Figured out" Thiers hurried to reassure Jerome. Bonaparte, his aim was nothing more than a knock on Jérôme. Bonaparte made him more obedient to the party of order, but if he was afraid of the strength of the force, wouldn't it be impossible to steal chickens and rice.

"Monsieur Thiers, I can wait, but my string of debts won't give me a chance!" Jérôme. Bonaparte leaned against the back of his chair and made a rogue posture: "I need money, I need a lot of money!" If I lose the election, those debts will probably drive me to death! I can't ignore my debt for the sake of an election that I don't know if I'm going to win or lose! If you and your party can't meet my needs, then I'll have to be on the side of Kafenyak now! ”

From this moment on, it was no longer Jérôme Bonaparte who asked for Thiers, but Thiers who asked Jérôme. Bonaparte.

"Kafenjak also said that as long as I could support him, he promised that during my tenure as minister, the Ministry of Public Works would be the busiest of all departments! That way I will have a chance to pay off my debts! "Jérôme. Bonaparte had a greedy expression, "And he also said that he would support me in the next presidential election!" ”

Damn Kafenyak, he's going to wipe us out!

Although Thiers's heart had set off turbulent waves, his expression was still indifferent.

Thiers wanted to take another sip of coffee, but when his hand touched the cup, he noticed that the hand holding the coffee involuntarily trembled slightly.

"Monsieur Bonaparte, as an old man who has been up and down in Paris for many years! I need to tell you a little life lesson! Thiers changed his attitude again, and he said in a serious tone.

"You say!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied with a sincere expression.

"In Paris, never believe any promise from a politician!" Thiers went on to emphasize: "Especially a politician born in the army! They are good at using cannons, and they have no integrity to speak of. ”

"But I don't have the confidence to win him with the property restricted! I can't ignore my debts, money is more important than power right now! "Jérôme. Bonaparte continued to put on a greedy face.

The impression of cowardice and greed for money finally tilted the scales in Thiers' favor with Jérôme. Bonaparte, compared to a strong Kafenjac, Jérôme. People like Bonaparte are clearly more in their interests.

After thinking twice Thiers decided to go to Jérôme. Bonaparte made the final temptation: "Jérôme. Monsieur Bonaparte, if you sit in that position, how will you deal with the affairs of government! ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte had a pious expression: "If I have the privilege of being President of the French Republic, I will never forget your kindness!" I will choose a respected Orderist to be Prime Minister of the Government in the service of the Republic! ”

Subsequently, Jérôme. Bonaparte paused and said: "It would be great if he could accomplish all the remarkable works of his presidency!" Of course, the president's annual salary can be raised a little higher, so that I have some savings after paying off my debts! ”

A greedy, cowardly guy couldn't be a better puppet!
