Chapter 202: The March of Suffering

"Republican parliamentarians waiting for me at the Elysée Palace? What do they want to do? ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte looked at Pesini in bewilderment, as if to ask Pesini.

Logically speaking, the relationship between the Republican congressmen and him is not only inextricably linked, but also inseparable.

At the beginning, he acquiesced in the suppression of the republicans by the Party of Order, which caused the republican power to decline to the point that it was not even as good as the Elysée Palace faction.

Do they want to co-opt themselves to become the vanguard of the anti-order party?

Jérôme. Bonaparte turned to the rejection of the idea.

If the republicans really have the heart, they don't mind being republicans in the time period after abandoning the Party of Order.

But after he deposed Odilon. After Barrow, the republicans didn't make any moves, and it was a little too late to try to win him over at this time.

"Your Majesty!" Pesini cautiously voiced his conjecture: "Could it be related to martial law?" The time for the election is coming! ”

"Martial law? General election! "After Pesini's reminder, Jérôme. Bonaparte instantly remembered the ordinance that the Legislative Assembly had to postpone during martial law.

"Republicans still want to turn the tables in the election?" Jérôme. Bonaparte had a mocking look on his face, believing that the end of the republicans would come once martial law was lifted.

Thiers' order to limit universal suffrage was a blow to the Republicans and the Montasterists.

Now, of course, they didn't know what Thiers was planning.

Since they are bent on death, Jérôme. Bonaparte, of course, didn't mind a gentle nudge behind their backs.

The life of the Legislative Assembly is about to enter the countdown phase!

"Let's go! Back to the Élysée Palace! "Jérôme. Bonaparte replied to Pessini.

"Yes! Your Majesty! ”

Accompanied by Pesini, Jérôme. Bonaparte summoned all the members of the War Department to the conference hall and conveyed to them his love for the army.

After several successive purges, the War Department was completely transformed into a hall of words from the Bonapartist faction, and the administrative and military bureaucrats simultaneously sent a message to Jérôme. Bonaparte applauded.

At the end of the meeting, Jérôme. Bonaparte said with a smile: "A new era has arrived, we must arm our army with a new idea of army building, and new equipment will strengthen our combat effectiveness!" I hope that the War Department and the Secretariat will be more active in cooperating with other departments to address this change. The continent of the future must belong to the whole of France! Long live France! ”

"Long live France, long live Bonaparte, long live the Empire!" The members of the War Department cheered together.

Jérôme. Bonaparte looked contentedly at his colleagues in the War Department, and he waved his hand away from the War Department.

Eyes on Jérôme. Minister Regnio, who had left the War Department of Bonaparte, returned to the minister's office and ordered his own secretary to summon the Secretary of State, Saint-Saint. Arnault.

"Sit down!" Minister Regnio did not take the gesture of a prefect, but invited St. Régino in a calm manner. Arno sat down.

In the opinion of Minister Regino, despite the fact that the Saints. Arnault's position is half a cut below that of Minister Regnho, but his rank and future potential are the same as his own.

On more than one occasion, Reinho had heard the president say that he would separate the executive directives from the war directives and take control of the military secretary's office. Arnault will undoubtedly one day separate from the War Department and become a being of the same rank as him, and there is no need to treat a soldier of the same rank with an attitude of command.

"Your Excellency, Minister!" Saint. General Arnault maintained a respectful attitude towards Minister Reinho, and it was also in his interest to strictly enforce the etiquette of the upper and lower ranks of the army.

"Did you hear what His Majesty said just now?" Minister Regnio asked St. Arnault.

"You mean working with other departments?" Astute St. Arno caught Jérôme in an instant. Bonaparte's focus.

"That's right!" Regino nodded with satisfaction and said, "The president means that we will strengthen cooperation with the Ministry of Railways, and I hope that this cooperation can start with the Military Secretariat!" ”

"Minister, what do you want me to do?" Saint. Arnault asked Minister Regnio.

"The Ministry of Railways has been established, and I hope that the Secretariat Office can spare some manpower to set up a permanent office in the Ministry of Railways to strengthen the ties between the army and the Ministry of Railways!" Minister Regnio made his own proposal.

"This ...... "St. General Arno hesitated for a moment.

No one knows his subordinates better than him, and as a group of military elites with a brilliant future, it is already for the sake of the military secretary's office to make some immeasurable future in the future of the military secretary's office, and what is the future of going to the stationing agency?

For a good elite who aspires to go to war, dealing with coal, charts and data all day long, doing tedious calculations mechanically, breathing in the air stained with black dust, what could be more terrifying than this.

"What's wrong? Are there any difficulties? Minister Regnio asked with concern.

"No problem!" Saint. General Arnault said categorically.

Since the Minister has given the task to the Office of the Military Secretary, the Holy . Arnault will certainly not be able to live up to the expectations of the president and ministers.

Isn't it just arranging personnel to be stationed in the agency? It's as simple as forcing them to go, who doesn't want to go and just rip off a military uniform and go home.

The experience of managing armies in Africa tells St. Arno, the more aggressively you deal with the army, the more it will submit to your control.

On the other hand, if you are weak-minded, the army will become less and less likely to take your orders seriously.

"Good!" Minister Regnio smiled with satisfaction. Arnault's work undoubtedly relieved him a lot, and many of the places where he did not come forward were saints. Arnault came forward, and the person who was inconvenient for his dismissal was also dismissed by St. Arnault. Arnaud Dailao.

In general, St. Arnault is a qualified executor (tool man)

The poor members of the Military Secretariat did not know that they were about to be sent by their own commander to the engineering unit of the Ministry of Railways to carry out day-to-day calculations and inspections.

……

The carriage was carrying the President of the Republic, Jérôme. Bonaparte returned to the Élysée Palace with the head of the secretary's office, Pessini.

It was already around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky in Paris was gradually darkening.

In the afterglow of the sunset, the cold winter wind whistles and crackles on the glass of the Élysée Palace.

This is the last dawn before darkness.

Under the leadership of Pesini, Jérôme. Bonaparte soon came to the room where the Republican parliamentarians were.

Gently push the door open and Jérôme. Bonaparte met many of his "old acquaintances".

Kafenjac, Kamartin, Bastide...... With a smile on his face, he walked up to Lamartine, stretched out his hand to shake Lamartine's hand, and said, "Mr. Lamartine, deputies, welcome to the Élysée Palace!" ”

"Your Excellency, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to meet with us!" Lamartine immediately sent a message to Jérôme. Bonaparte complimented.

After greeting each other for a while, the two sent it to the point.

"Mr. Lamartine, what do you want to do with so many councillors coming to the Elysee Palace?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Lamartineau with a smile on his face.

"Mr. President, we are here for martial law! My party and I agree that the evil forces of Paris and the murderer of the president have been tried, and martial law can be lifted! There is no need for the people of Paris to be in constant fear. "Lamartine is sincere to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"Worried?" Jérôme. Bonaparte retracted his smile and changed to a serious expression: "I don't think the people of Paris have anything to fear now!" Is the environment worse now than it was before? Is our army more terrible than the bugs lurking in Paris? Or ......"

Jérôme. Bonaparte looked around and asked, "Some of you are accomplices of those evildoers!" Want to intercede for those people? ”

As soon as this remark came out, many people present did not dare to refute it.

Cracking down on gangsters is a politically correct thing to do at all times, and they don't dare to chew their tongues in the face of right and wrong.

Jérôme. Bonaparte's questioning left Lamartine speechless.

Seeing this, Bastide stepped forward again to Jérôme. Bonaparte said: "Your Excellency, no one is an accomplice of those gangsters, and we agree with your decision to fight the gangs. Nowadays, most of the gangs have been pulled out by the army, and the remaining gangs only need to be handed over to the police. There is really no need to waste resources to exterminate the gangs, what Paris needs now is tranquility. ”

"You mean that the lifting of martial law will bring peace to the people of Paris?" Jérôme. Bonaparte changed his stern tone and asked calmly.

"Your Excellency, the people of Paris yearn for freedom, and the control of the army will be appreciated by the people of Paris for a short time, but if they stay in Paris for a long time, they will inevitably feel constrained, and their gratitude to you will turn into complaints. We need to lift martial law before the people of Paris complain and restore peace to Paris! The people of Paris will always remember what you did, President! Throughout Bastide did not mention the benefits of lifting martial law, he pointed out the benefits that the lifting of martial law would bring to the president.

This is the quality of a good politician, and compared to Bastide, Lamartine and Kafenjac obviously have a bit of a childish taste.

Jérôme. Bonaparte pondered for a moment, then pretended to be unwilling and asked Bastide, "The series of accidents that occurred during the period of martial law ......"

"Since it was an accident, of course I didn't want to discuss it!" Bastide immediately replaced Lamartine and said that everything that happened during martial law would be turned over after martial law.

"I agree to lift martial law!"

Bastide and other Republican lawmakers all had happy faces.

"But ......"
