"Your Excellency, Marshal, please accept the most faithful greetings from France to you!"

In the midst of the cheers of "Long live the marshal, long live the Empire", Prime Minister Oppel, who was small and transparent, approached the new Imperial Marshal Prince Montfort and complimented him.

Looking at the unanimous cheers from the audience, the Prince of Montfort's thoughts could not help but return to the time forty-five years ago, when his brother, surrounded by the most loyal army in France, abolished the republic and turned it into an empire.

Forty-five years later, like his brother, he became marshal of the French Republic, surrounded by the army, and he believed that it would not be long before he would be established on the land again.

In France, as long as you master the army, you will control the future.

Prince Montfort could not help but salute the army in the audience: "What a mighty army! What a loyal soldier! ”

The sound of "Hooray" raced after wave, until Prince Montfort waved that it was okay to stop, and the soldiers stopped shouting at the hand of the commanders of the various units.

The scene became unusually quiet for a while, and the eyes of everyone present were fixed on the new marshal Prince Montfort.

Marshal Montfort, who was stared at by thousands of pairs of eyes, had an irrepressible excitement in his heart, he held his breath, and after a few seconds he spoke: "Soldiers of France, I am honored to be able to stand here as an outdated veteran to receive your blessings!" I will stand with you, with the thousands of French soldiers who defended the motherland......"

Jérôme. Bonaparte preached to all the soldiers present in his earthy Italian and German tone, and with the aura of the emperor's younger brother, a speech that should have been boring became unusually inspiring.

"I wish you all the best for the future, and I wish France more prosperity! I will live up to my mission and become a qualified Imperial Marshal! ”

Prince Montfort concluded his marshal's inaugural speech with a standard closing remark.

Whether it was unintentional or intentional, Prince Montfort changed the "Marshal of the Republic" to "Marshal of the Reich", and several retired Bonapartist generals in the viewing platform smiled understandingly.

At the end of the inauguration ceremony of Field Marshal Montfort, an open-top gilt double-bridge carriage appeared at the foot of the steps of the viewing platform, and Marshal Montfort sat in the carriage with Vice President Blair, and the carriage was run by Lieutenant Colonel Fleury, a staff officer of the National Guard.

The carriage moved slowly, and Prince Montfort was able to wave goodbye to the soldiers present, and the soldiers of the phalanx followed the direction of Marshal Montfort's carriage.

Under the watchful eye of the soldiers, the carriage passed through the phalanx and returned to the center of Paris.

After the departure of Marshal Montfort, Minister Regnio stood up and said to the soldiers attending the inauguration: "The troops will return to their barracks in an orderly manner, and no loud noises will be allowed!" ”

Shangargne, who was in the crowd, looked at Minister Regnio with a gloomy face, and the order for the disbandment of the soldiers after the inauguration was announced by him, the commander of the city defense of the Seine, but Renio announced the dissolution in advance.

The most important thing is that the commanders of the 1st Brigade in Paris all obeyed the orders of Minister Regnio and left the field in an orderly manner, which made Shangargne have to reconsider his strength.

Before they knew it, the regular army forces in Shangargne's hands were overturned by Regnio and them.

As for the National Guard, Shangarne did not dare to use those things at will.

It is very likely that the National Guard after mobilization will not listen to him.

……

The carriage carried the new Marshal Prince Montfort and Vice-President Blair to the Élysée Palace, and when the carriage officially entered the Saint-Martin district, it saw a group of cavalrymen wearing silver-white cuirasses, feathered helmets, and a saber at their waists in Edgar. Lieutenant Colonel Ney appeared.

The horse team was divided into two parts to protect the left and right flanks of the carriage, Edgar. Ney and two cuirassiers were in charge of clearing the way in front of the carriage.

The carriage did not experience traffic jams after entering the suburban centre of Saint-Martin.

The reason for this is that a "zealous citizen" in a black furak coat acted as a vigilante to help the police maintain traffic, ordering the carriage to stop at the side of the road until the marshal's carriage passed.

After passing through the suburb of Saint-Martin to the Saint-Germain district, the road was noticeably wider, and Fleury increased the speed of the carriage and continued on until he reached the Élysée Palace.

At this time, the secretary of the Elysée Palace, Pesini, was leading all the incumbents of the Elysée Palace to wait for the arrival of the marshal's carriage at the gate.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the Élysée Palace, and Edgar led the way. Ney rolled over and Prince Monfort and Vice President Blair also stopped.

Led by Pessini, Prince Montfort and Vice President Blair arrived in the banquet hall.

By this time the banquet hall was already full of people, and in the splendid hall of soldiers, envoys, parliamentarians, and bankers had gathered, and the arrival of Prince Montfort and Vice-President Blair had made everyone at the banquet look at them.

Vice President Blair stepped back and made a gesture of please, this banquet was originally held for Prince Monfort, who was undoubtedly the focus of this banquet.

The Prince of Montfort, armed with a wooden marshal's cane, walked slowly into the crowd and spoke to them.

Blair, as vice president, was led by Pessini to a small living room on the second floor of the Élysée Palace.

After a while, the door to the living room opened in Jérôme. Bonaparte appeared outside the door, and Blair hurried to meet Jérôme. Bonaparte.

Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled and gave Blair a hug and said, "Good work! Mr. Blair! ”

Blair Vice-President, also known as Jérôme. Bonaparte's former teacher looked at Jérôme with satisfaction. Bonaparte said, "Nothing! It's just for me to hand over the cane to this old bone! This little problem doesn't bother me! But Your Majesty, you are too tired to manage all kinds of opportunities! ”

"Most of them are just useless government affairs!" Jérôme. Bonaparte shrugged his shoulders and made a nonchalant motion.

Jérôme. After Bonaparte sat down with Blair, two steaming cups of coffee were brought in, one of which had sugar cubes and milk added to it.

Pesini brought the coffee with the added sugar cubes and milk to Blair, and the other original flavor to Jérôme. Bonaparte.

Vice President Blair gently stirred the spoon and smiled to thank Pessini.

Pesini modestly replied and left.

Only Vice President Blair and Jérôme were left in the living room. President Bonaparte for two.

"Mr. Blair, I'm so sorry! Let you just return to Paris and run non-stop to arrange the inauguration ceremony for my father! "Jérôme. Bonaparte sincerely apologized to Blair.

"Nothing!" Vice President Blair smiled slightly, and his slightly tired eyes were full of joy: "I am very happy to be able to witness the appearance of a Marshal Bonaparte!" ”

"By the way, what's going on with that guy in the Pyrenees?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Blair Dao.

Vice President Blair shook his head, took a sip of coffee and said, "Although his spirit is good, his body is not as good as day by day." I guess it won't be long before I go to God! ”

"Alas!" Jérôme. Bonaparte sighed and sighed: "The former marshal who crisscrossed the battlefield will inevitably die on his sickbed in the end. If he was given another chance, he would probably choose to die on the battlefield! ”

"I thought he'd choose to fall on the bed!" Vice President Blair retorted, a mocking expression on his lips: "If he really wants to die on the battlefield, he has many chances to die." In the final analysis, he is just a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. ”

"Even if he is a man who is greedy for life and afraid of death, he is the only generalissimo in France!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said with a sigh.

"As long as you live long enough, then you can defeat all enemies!" Vice President Blair sneered: "Our generalissimo has already survived many of his contemporaries!" ”

"Don't talk about the past!" Jérôme. Bonaparte chose to avoid talking about the generalissimo's past, and instead asked, "What is his attitude towards us?" ”

"Respectful!" Vice President Blair responded, "However, I can sense in my conversation with him that our Generalissimo does not believe that we can easily and successfully overthrow them!" ”

"So, he's not willing to support us?" Jérôme. Bonaparte's heart couldn't help but feel a little lost.

If the Generalissimo could support him at this time, then he would be more sure to suppress Shangargne.

As the "Ivy League" of France, Generalissimo Soirte still has a profound influence on the French army, even after retiring at home.

"Nope! The Generalissimo said that he was willing to support us! "Vice President Blair said Jérôme. Bonaparte was stunned at the results.

"What does he want?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked calmly.

Vice President Blair responded indifferently: "He said he didn't need anything!" ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte looked at Vice President Blair in amazement, and he was somewhat suspicious of the motives of Generalissimo Sirte.

"He told me that he didn't have to run for the sake of future generations! All his wealth will be given back to France in the form of a donation after his death! What else does a man like him need? Glory? He's already there! Fame? He also got it by the emperor's side!

Now he is only a shell! If you want to say hate, all that remains is hatred for the Legislative Assembly, and he wants you to overthrow the damned Parliament! Don't forget to shoot a few more people for him! He also told me that the emperor shot people a lot! ”
