Chapter 150: Austria? Prussia?

From the words of Pessini, Jérôme. Bonaparte did not listen to much sincerity, but said it in order to save his own face.

Thinking of this, Jérôme. There was a hint of frustration in the corners of Bonaparte's eyes.

As an "ordinary person" who opened the perspective of God, Jérôme. Bonaparte was not destined to be understood by France as a whole.

Not to mention France, even if he himself now said to the king of Prussia that Prussia would completely defeat France in 22 years, I'm afraid Prussia itself would not believe it, they would only think that Jérôme. In order to avenge his uncle's defeat on the battlefield of Waterloo, Bonaparte forcibly found a reason to attack Prussia.

"Alright! I understand! "Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded, and he decided to end the unpleasant topic just now: "Gentlemen, it seems that our journey will end tomorrow, Secretary General Persini!" ”

"In!" Pesini responded quickly to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"On my return to Paris, you will inspect the provinces that I have not yet completed! We must convey our ideas, our voices, to the whole of France! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Pessini.

"It is an honor for me to be able to work for Your Majesty. If that's what you want it to be...... "Pesini replied respectfully to Jérôme. Bonaparte.

"By the way, there's one more thing!" Jérôme. Bonaparte remembered an important matter, and he specially advised: "When you are done with your tour, go to Le Clézzo and invite someone!" ”

"Leclezzo?" Pesini repeated, thinking in his mind that Leclezzo had a celebrity worth paying attention to, and he suddenly thought of a "celebrity" who was Leclezzo and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about......"

Pessini named the "celebrity", Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded in response, "That's right! Your task is to bring him to Paris, to me! No problem! ”

"Of course there is no problem!" Persini replied decisively, and couldn't help but pay a little attention to that person in his heart.

Don't look at him now in the inconspicuous town of Le Clézo, once he is "targeted" by His Excellency the President, it will not be a matter of minutes.

Adjutant Conrobell is a prime example.

"That's it! It's not too early, so rest early! "Jérôme. Bonaparte waved his hand and gave the order to evict the guest.

Adjutant Conrobert left Jérôme with Pessini. Bonaparte's room.

Letters from Paris and Württemberg were also kept on Pesini's bedroom desk.

Jérôme alone in the bedroom. Bonaparte walked slowly to the richly carved lattice, and he looked up at the moon, which was obscured by two dark clouds.

Immediately, he sat down at his desk and carefully read the two letters, and whispered: "Austria or Prussia?" ”

……

Early the next morning, the morning of early autumn shrouded the whole city of Tours like a mist, and the misty water vapor condensed on the frame of the window lattice, making people feel a damp and slightly cold coolness.

At the entrance of the president's temporary residence, the guards stood in a phalanx, staring at the hotel door without squinting, waiting for the president to come out.

Finally, when the mist receded from the city of Tours, Jérôme. Bonaparte, Pesini and others appeared at the door of the hotel.

An improvised twin-axle carriage in Jérôme. The moment Bonaparte appeared, he crossed the phalanx and came to the front of the phalanx.

Jérôme. Bonaparte and Conrobert got into a carriage and headed to the Tours train station.

Pesini stopped at the door of the hotel for the final sweep.

The time gradually came to about 10 a.m., and the time was around 10 a.m. Almost 3 hours had passed since Bonaparte left.

Morality. Mayor Reyna hurried over, and when he was supposed to enter the hotel, he happened to meet Pessini, who was about to leave the hotel.

Morality. Mayor Reina hurriedly ran to Pessini, leaned over and asked almost flatteringly: "Secretary General Pessini, is His Excellency the President still there?" ”

Percini glanced at De. Reina glanced at it and said in a flat tone: "Mr. President has returned to Paris!" ”

"Ahh Your Excellency the President has returned to Paris! "De. Mayor Reina's face changed instantly.

The president's departure does not mean that his gifts cannot be delivered to the parties, so how can he impress the president!

"Mr. Mayor, are you looking for a job?" Pesini asked De. Mayor Reina said: "The President has entrusted me with full authority to do everything he does in Tours before he leaves!" ”

Morality. Mayor Reyna glanced at Pessini, and he suddenly realized that his original plan was to use the hands of the president's cronies to give Chlolusburg (more of an ordinary mansion) to Pessini, and now was not an opportunity.

"That's right, Your Excellency the President left something at the dinner yesterday, and I came here to return it to His Excellency the President!" Morality. Reyna said as he brought the prepared title deed to Pessini.

Pessini looked at De. With the title deed in Rainer's hand, he can be 100% sure that what this so-called president left at the banquet is a "gift" that they want to give to the president.

"Mr. Mayor, this gift is really valuable! It shouldn't be something left by the president! Pesini rejects de de in a brisk tone. Rainer's gift.

"Mr. Secretary-General!" Morality. Reina took out a 5,000-franc ticket from his pocket, opened his eyes and said nonsense: "This is what you fell!" ”

Pesini took over De. The bill in Reina's hand looked at the guy in front of him in surprise, he didn't expect De. Reina's shot was so generous, he immediately opened his eyebrows and smiled: "That's right! I fell from it! I didn't expect it to be picked up by you! ”

With that, he quietly put the bill in his arms.

"This ......" de. Reyna pointed to the title deed and hinted at Pesini Road.

"This thing is too valuable!" Pessini again rejected De. Reina, and then changed his words: "If it can be proved that the value of this land is within the scope of the gift, I think Mr. President will be happy to accept it." ”

"Of course, of course!" Morality. Reina also reacted, patting his chest and saying to Persini: "Monsieur Persini, Crolusburg is nothing more than an old house that is about to fall into disrepair!" The town hall had already decided to demolish it, and it was worth less than 100 francs. ”

"Less than 100 francs!" Pessini nodded and said, "It's also within the scope of the gift!" ”

"That's right! That's right! "De. Reina's chick nodded like a peck of rice: "The most worthless thing these years is the land!" If Your Excellency the President doesn't want it, we'll have to tear him down! ”

"It's an old house! It's a pity to demolish it, I'll take it for the president! Pessini held out his hand and took it. Reina wants to give it to Jérôme. Bonaparte's title deed to Fort Cloulus was then handed to de Bonaparte. Monsieur Reina reminded of a note of five hundred francs: "This is the purchase of a house by Monsieur President!" ”

"Yes! Be! "De. Reina nodded again and said, "On behalf of the Tours City Hall, I would like to thank Your Excellency the President for solving the problems of the City Hall!" ”

……

September 11, 1849.

Jérôme after almost a month away from Paris. Bonaparte returned to Paris.

By this time, the Paris train station had long been blocked, and the sides of the platform were full of members of the National Guard.

Fleury, a staff officer of the National Guard General Staff, led the train station to maintain law and order, and Fleury, who was holding the rank of colonel in the National Guard, took the initiative to ask Ying to maintain law and order after receiving the news of the president's return to Paris.

With the approval of Minister of War Lyueli and the Commander-in-Chief of the National Guard, Jeangargne, he led the National Guard to maintain law and order.

The train from Tours slowly stopped on the platform, and the presidential guard was the first to get off the train, followed by Jérôme. Bonaparte and Conrobert get out of the car.

"Your Excellency the President, Fleury, a staff officer of the National Guard General Staff, reports!" I haven't seen Jérôme for a long time. Fleury of Bonaparte excitedly addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte saluted.

Jérôme. Bonaparte also wanted Fleury to return the favor.

Under the leadership of Fleury, Jérôme. Bonaparte got into the carriage.

Under the escort of the Guards and the National Guard, Jérôme. Bonaparte returns to the Élysée Palace.

Jérôme who has just stepped into the gate of the Elysée Palace. Bonaparte said to Fleury in the next second: "Fleury, help me call Minister Tocqueville!" ”

"Yes!" Fleury replied and turned to leave.

"Colonel Conrobel!" Jérôme. Bonaparte ordered Conrobert: "To mobilize the Presidential Secretariat, I need a detailed account of the military strength of Prussia and Austria." ”

"I'll arrange it!" Conoebel also left the Élysée Palace.

"Mocal, you will be my personal secretary during the time of Pesini's absence!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said, pointing at Mocal.

"We're happy to help you!" Mocal hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte showed faithfulness.

"Let's go! Back to the study! "Jérôme. Bonaparte returned to the study with Mocal.

After about half an hour, Foreign Minister Alexis de Tocqueville arrived with Fleury in the study, after which Fleury left the study alone.

"Your Excellency!" Tocqueville vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte took off his hat and saluted.

"Minister Tocqueville, I don't want to talk too much nonsense! Tell me about what happened in Prussia and Austria during this time! "Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Tocqueville directly.

Tocqueville told Jérôme about the contradictions between Prussia and Austria. Bonaparte, the situation is like Jérôme. The contradiction between Prussia and Austria, as Bonaparte speculated, was in the Duchy of Hesse-Kassel, and of course the central contradiction of all this was the domination of Prussia and Austria over the German region.

"Mr. Tocqueville, I already understand the general situation! I'll take care of the rest! ”
