December 29, 1849.

With James. As Rothschild's surrender and the "anti-crime campaign" in Paris came to an end, a group of republican parliamentarians, led by the republican leader Lamartine, went to the Elysee Palace to meet with Jérôme. President Bonaparte meets.

At Pessini's arrangement, Lamartine and other republican parliamentarians entered a reception room at the Élysée Palace.

"Mr. Lamartine, the President is still inspecting the War Department, and you will need to wait a while!" Pessini apologized to Lamartine.

"Humph! It seems that Mr. President wants to turn the War Department into his private residence! ”

Yin and yang, who had served as the minister of war in France for a short time and the consul of the republic, said in a strange manner.

For Jérôme. Bonaparte, the guy who relied on "despicable" means to obtain the presidency and then put his hand into the Ministry of War, Kafenjak is a hundred and cannot look down on.

In Kafenjak's view, Jérôme. Bonaparte's presence would only discredit his uncle and his cousins.

Bonaparte, who had abdicated heroically, was afraid that he would fall completely from the Vendôme column.

"Councillor Kafenyak!" Pesini retorted without humility or arrogance: "It is the responsibility of the President to inspect the Ministry of War as the supreme military commander of France under the Constitution of the French Republic

"Isn't it a dereliction of duty not to keep an eye on the movements of the Ministry of War as the supreme military commander of the Republic?"

"Besides, it's still under martial law! The president does not always inspect the Ministry of War, and he does not know how much chaos is going to happen! ”

"Mr. President is not like some idle guy who only fights for power in Vanity Fair, thus forgetting the reciprocity of power and duty granted by the French Constitution!"

Percini's words with a stick and a stick succeeded in breaking the defense of the military man Kafenjak.

After the June Revolution, Kafenjac did get caught up in a frenzied quest for power, and he made compromises with many parliamentarians, including Thiers.

The result was not a basket of water, and the republicans who created the Second Republic were swept out of the government and the army.

Even the Legislative Assembly had only a small republican faction.

Kafenjak tried to contradict Pessini, but was stopped by Bastide.

Bastide shook his head at Kafenjak, and turned to Pessini: "Senator Persini, please go to the War Department and report to the President, and tell the President that we will wait here for His Excellency the President!" ”

"Okay!" Pessini looked around at the House of Representatives and replied earnestly: "I will help you tell the president!" You need to be patient! ”

With that, Pessini left the reception room with his head held high, a hint of arrogance on his face.

The Republican congressmen in the room were all angry.

"What a thing is he! A Bonaparte pup! ”

Kafenjak shouted in a disdainful tone.

"He was indeed a dog of Bonaparte!" Bastide first affirmed Kafenjac's words, and then said in a solemn tone: "Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you will be able to recognize the reality that even Bonaparte is not something we can offend now!" Our strength is so weak compared to theirs! ”

Bastide's frustrating words left all the Republican congressmen present a little disappointed.

Oh, yes!

A year ago, republicans were in control of the Legislative Assembly, enacting laws to limit the term of office.

The party of order in parliament did not dare to confront them head-on.

But in just one year, the republicans became what they are now.

Under the blows of the Party of Order, the Republicans collapsed and soon became the third largest party in the Legislative Assembly.

After the June Incident of 1849, the republicans returned to the second largest partisanship.

Of course, this is not to say that the number of seats of the Republicans has increased, but that the seats of the Mountain Party have shrunk significantly.

Originally, the Mountain Party, which was the second largest party, was defeated by Ludlaw. The reason for Roland's rebellion was that most of the seats were forcibly erased by the Party of Order, and the pro-Order Party was the member of parliament, and he had to wait for a re-election in March '50 to win the seat.

The Republicans naturally became the second largest party in parliament.

"Don't forget, what are we here for?" Lamartine, who had been silent, also spoke.

"You say, Jerome. Is that guy Bonaparte really willing to lift martial law? Kafenjak frowned and said, "During martial law, the president has more power than usual!" For anyone with a desire for power, this is a transgression. What if he does not agree to lift martial law? ”

"We will impeach the president with the Party of Order!" Lamartine replied resolutely: "Before I came, Thiers and they had agreed with us that martial law must be lifted, and Paris must be free again!" ”

"Thiers?" There was a hint of resentment in Kafenjak's eyes, and his words also revealed disdain and dissatisfaction: "Count on these despicable fellows who don't keep their word? Don't forget, it's they will Jérôme. Bonaparte pushed to this position! ”

Even a year after the incident, Kafenac still has difficulty hiding his hatred for Thiers.

They put themselves in the position of executioners, promising that they would limit France's universal suffrage system and make it possible for them to be elected as France's first president.

In the end they betrayed themselves and Jérôme. Bonaparte was in the same stream.

"I'm sure Thiers they won't be so short-sighted!" Bastide strongly supported Lamartine: "The reason why the last martial law favored Thiers was that they had the power of the Cabinet, and the power of the government was in the Cabinet. This time martial law did not work in their favor, and the cabinet was in the hands of Jérôme. In the hands of Bonaparte. Martial law for a long time will only keep them in a passive state. They must stop martial law! ”

"They're using us as gunmen!"

It's not that Kafenjak doesn't understand the truth, he is just tired of Thiers' attitude of being upright and upright.

Since you also resent martial law, don't hide behind the scenes and watch the Republicans charge.

"This is politics, and our time is obviously more difficult than that of Thiers!" Bastide sighed, he was equally reluctant to act as Thiers to test Jérôme. Bonaparte's attitude, but he had to act as a pawn.

The new round of elections to the Legislative Assembly is about to begin, and this is their chance.

The Party of Order was able to gain the upper hand because of the help of the president, and without the help of the president this time, they were likely to face the danger of overturning.

If martial law continues, the election of the Legislative Assembly will be forcibly delayed because of martial law, and the Republicans' hopes of relying on the election will be in vain.

The existence of martial law will become a resistance for the Republicans, and the Party of Order is also reluctant to continue and expand the old martial law.

If martial law were to be extended and become the norm, the Legislative Assembly would not even be able to retain its legislative powers.

Even though the Republicans and the Party of Order fought to the death in the Legislative Assembly, they still reached an agreement on the issue of martial law.

It's just that the Republicans have a heavier task, and they need to face the president's wrath.

Of course, Bastide only saw the first floor, and Thiers, standing on the second floor, had already decided to introduce a proposal to restrict universal suffrage shortly after martial law was lifted.

By that time, the Republicans and the Mountain Party would no longer be able to recover.

Lamartine and other Republican legislators waited anxiously for Jérôme. Bonaparte, Pessini slowly and leisurely walked from the Elysée Palace to the Ministry of War.

Jérôme at this time. Bonaparte was in the presence of the Minister of War Regnio with the Secretary of State Saint-Saint. Arnault, accompanied by him, met with the directors and directors of the various departments under the Ministry of War.

Soldiers in pairs entered the conference room with Jérôme. Bonaparte met, and this time it was Nielle's turn with Rendell.

"Your Excellency, this is Brigadier General Niel, Director of the Logistics Department, and this is Brigadier General Rendel, Director of the Personnel Department!" Regnio to Jérôme. Bonaparte introduced.

"Mr. President, Mr. President!"

Jérôme. Bonaparte shook hands with the two new possessors.

"Brigadier General Niel, don't be so nervous! I'm not a man-eating monster either! "Jérôme. Bonaparte patted Brigadier Niel on the shoulder, trying to ease Brigadier Niel's nervousness in a teasing tone.

"Your Excellency, I ......" Brigadier General Niel was still a little nervous.

"I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer during your tenure!" Jérôme. Bonaparte saw Niel's nervousness, and he decided to put an end to his conversation with Brigadier General Niel for the time being.

"Count Lendall!" Jérôme. Bonaparte did not address Lendl's military rank, but Lendall's office.

"Your Majesty!" The long-sleeved dancer Lendl used words to say that he had defected to Jérôme. Bonaparte.

"Count Lendall, I hope you will be able to help Minister Regnio and St. Lunno. Secretary Arnault is more efficient in controlling the War Department! The War Department is the center of the Republic's army, and it must not become a haven for corrupt elements! Got it? "Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Rendell in a stern tone, "This is your duty as the head of the Personnel Division!" I want to see a new War Department and a new army! ”

Lendel certainly understands Jérôme. Bonaparte's meaning, the so-called cleaning up of pests is not to clean up a group of people who are not loyal to the emperor, since he has defected to the Bonaparte faction, of course, he must also submit a satisfactory petition to the Bonaparte faction, and the various transfers of the Ministry of War some time ago are his first petition.

"Yes! Your Majesty! Lendl replied loudly: "I promise you that I will definitely assist Minister Regnio in removing pests from the army!" ”

"Good! I look forward to your next move! "Jérôme. Bonaparte appropriately drew the pie, "Your efforts will be rewarded satisfactorily!" ”

"Yes!" Lendl and Neielle responded with a smile.

"Go ahead!"

Jérôme. Bonaparte waved his hand, and Lendl and Niel departed.

Right here in Jérôme. When Bonaparte was about to meet the next group members, Pessini entered the conference room and asked Jérôme Brown. Bonaparte reported back on the situation at the Élysée.
