Chapter 231: Shang Gargne's Ambition

Jérôme. Bonaparte got his wish by obtaining the "aftermath money" that Thiers had promised him, and at the same time got a rough idea of how many of his supporters and potential supporters were in the Legislative Assembly, as well as the opposition.

In general, support Jérôme. Bonaparte's men were not much different from those who opposed him.

Jérôme. If Bonaparte only wanted to improve his life in a limited time, the Legislative Assembly would have given Jérôme a word for it. Bonaparte certainly helped.

If he wants to plot a bigger problem, a large part of the Legislative Assembly may not support him.

When the two forces are at a stalemate, the strength of the army comes to the fore.

Jérôme. Bonaparte was sure that he would harness this force and crush the Legislative Assembly once and for all.

To this end, he will not hesitate to reward the hush money given to him by the parliament to those soldiers who have made some "outstanding contributions".

In order to win over the commanders of the National Guard, the commanders of the 2nd Brigade and the 3rd Brigade of the 2nd Brigade of the Paris Regular Army, Major General Conrobert and Major General Perrault, as well as the 2nd Brigade and the 3rd Officer, Jérôme Murphy. Bonaparte again extended an invitation to the army, inviting them to visit the Élysée Palace.

Receiving the news, the commander of the garrison of the Seine, Shangargne, hurried to the rue de Pulvati to find Thiers to discuss the situation.

As a result of the military parade in the Sartori region of 1849, Shangargne had already seen Jérôme thoroughly. The true face of Bonaparte, who decisively abandoned Jérôme. Bonaparte became more closely associated with Thiers.

As far as the eye can see, Thiers, sitting on the red upholstered sofa of the mansion, is holding a newspaper and reading all kinds of newspapers, both domestic and foreign, on his desk.

Despite the fact that Jérôme. Bonaparte and the Party of Order gradually tightened France's external ties, especially for the harsh raw tea of foreign newspapers, but these so-called rules could only stop the petty bourgeois of Paris at best, and for Parisian dignitaries like Thiers, newspaper censorship was nothing more than an empty phrase.

The arrival of Shangarne alarmed Thiers, who was immersed in the news, and he glanced at Shangarne with his spare eyes, put down the newspaper, got up and walked to Shangarne and said in an easy-going tone: "Commander Shangargne, welcome!" ”

Thiers smiled at the fellow Changargne and extended his slightly rough right hand in welcome.

Shangargne decisively shook Thiers' hand, and then a pair of crumbs hugged each other. After a few seconds, both released at the same time.

At Thiers' invitation, Shangargne sat on the sofa, while Thiers sat on the red wood chair opposite the sofa.

"Commander Shangarne, I wonder what you are doing today?" Thiers asked in a gentle tone, a tone that combined with Thiers' sly smile gave the impression that he had already won the game.

"That's right! Mr. Thiers! As if under the influence of Thiers, Shangargne's slightly nervous heart was also appropriately calmed, and he also reported to Thiers in a gentle tone: "Monsieur Thiers, I have received information!" Jérôme. That guy Bonaparte invited the officers of my 2nd and 3rd Brigades and the National Guard to dine at the Élysée Palace tomorrow night! ”

The corners of Thiers' eyes changed slightly, and his originally open palm was clenched into a fist and placed on his thigh.

If you don't pay close attention to Thiers' movements, it will be difficult to detect this subtle gesture of Thiers.

"It's nothing! Commander Shangarne, are you too nervous! It's just the president's routine invitation to the military as a guest! Thiers said to Changargne in a light-hearted tone: "After all, our President and his uncle want to like to break into the army!" He imitated his uncle everywhere, but he imitated it very poorly. ”

"Monsieur Thiers, my men don't think so!" In order to make Thiers serious enough to threaten the land, Shangargne hastened to "correct" Thiers' point of view: "They think that Jérôme. Bonaparte was the former emperor, and he would lead them to victory! ”

"Victory? Exploit? Our Jérôme. Monsieur Bonaparte has been preaching peace! Look at your newspaper! Thiers looked mocking, and he picked up a piece of newspaper and threw it away after a few flicks in the air, and it floated gently in front of Shangalgne.

Shangargne glanced at the contents of the newspaper, and the first column of the newspaper was "Analysis of Jérôme. President Bonaparte's idea of peace".

"Councilor Thiers, you don't still believe such newspapers!" Shangarne asked Thiers.

"It doesn't matter if I believe it or not, it's important whether the citizens of Paris believe it or not!" Thiers uttered an inexplicable remark.

"Citizen?" Filled with distrust of the proletarians and the little bourgeois, Shangargne said disdainfully: "Their strength is not worth mentioning, the army is the key to our victory over it!" ”

"We?" Thiers repeated Shangargne's words, his tone revealing an indescribable sense of strangeness.

"That's right! We! Shangargne's brow furrowed slightly, he didn't like Thiers' tone very much.

"Okay!" Thiers asked directly: "Monsieur Shangargne, what do you need us to sit on for you?" ”

"We are helping each other!" Once again, Shangargne emphasized.

"You're right!" Thiers said perfunctorily.

"I hope that the Party of Order will help me stabilize the army so that we can defeat Jérôme. Bonaparte! "Shangarne put forward his own conditions.

"Commander Shangarne, do you think highly of us! We are just a political party, not a military group! Thiers shrugged his shoulders and looked helpless, as if he could not do anything about what had happened to Shangargne.

"Monsieur Thiers, I am sure that you and your party will be able to help me!" Shangarne unwittingly separated the Party of Order from him.

"How do you want help?" Thiers retracted his smile and asked Shangarne with a serious expression.

Thiers's serious expression also made Shangargne have to be cautious, and he reorganized his language and said to Thiers: "Monsieur Thiers, I hope that my colleagues in the Party of Order will appoint me as Speaker of the Legislative Assembly!" This will give me the ability to restrain the army and arrest Jérôme. Bonaparte! ”

Thiers' face changed in shock at Shangalgne's proposal, and in his plan, the president of the Legislative Assembly, who had partial command of the army, would become their bargaining chip against the president, but he never imagined that this guy would want to get his hands on this power.

The ambition of this old thing is not dead!

Thiers's heart couldn't help but scold, pushing himself and others Thiers has already put Shangargne with Jérôme. Bonaparte drew an equal sign.

Once the President of the Legislative Assembly and the military power were combined, then the whole of Paris and even the whole of France would fall under the control of Chahangargne.

Such an outcome might allow them to remove Jérôme from office without a hitch. Bonaparte, and then propped up Vice President Tony Blair as a puppet.

But for Thiers, there was no benefit. Once Shangargne is in power, the party of order will inevitably choose to join him, and Thiers' own role will be greatly reduced.

Trying to become president, he didn't want to become a kingdom so soon, he had already served two terms as prime minister, and he also wanted to try his hand at Dicktido's power.

According to Thiers's plan, the Party of Order would succeed in its restoration, at least after he became president.

Shangargne's plan would have a serious impact on Thiers's plan.

"Commander Shangarne!" Thiers changed his tone and said coldly in the face of a political enemy: "I beg your pardon for refusing, the speaker cannot be a military man in office!" ”

Thiers' answer was a little consternation to Shangalgne, who knew that it was just Thiers' rhetoric.

I don't know Thiers's heart, and Shangarne said unwillingly: "I can help you defeat Jérôme. Bonaparte, and then return politics to Bourbon! ”

"Commander Shangargne, the power of the Speaker is decided by the Holy Legislative Assembly, not by me privately!" Thiers hardened again, knowing that doing so would lead to a distancing of Shangargne from them, but whoever wanted to allow him to become president of France would be his political enemy.

At this moment, Thiers also became the so-called "smart man" in his mouth.

Everyone is a thousand-year-old fox unless it's like Jérôme. Bonaparte was set to one with the power of the president.

Otherwise, they can only face a situation of endless infighting.

Thiers' intransigent attitude shattered Shangalgne's attempt to become speaker, and he could only take a step back and say: "Then I hope that the Legislative Assembly will be able to target Jérôme. Bonaparte inquired about the behavior of the officers of the army at a banquet privately! ”

"Of course you can!" Thiers said in an imposing manner, "The Parliament will ask questions on this issue in the near future!" I hope that during this time, Commander Shangargne, you will be able to effectively restrain the troops and prevent them from colluding with the president again! ”

"I'll try my best!" Shangarne didn't know if his influence would be able to restrain them, and for now he could only pin his hopes on inquiry.

After the departure of Shangargne, Thiers summoned the "loyal" leader of the royalists, who explained to them the ambitions of Shangargne.

All members of the royalist party expressed resentment at Shangargne's "ambitions".

"Wow! One Napoleon on stage, another Napoleon off stage! Belier said in a sarcastic tone.

Although the Orleanists and the Orthodox faction were in the stage of merging, the Orthodox faction's bad feelings towards the Orleanists had not been eliminated.

The two factions are like a bunch of couples who are not in harmony with each other, and they are only united to make do with each other.

Under Thiers' guidance, the Party of Order became more wary of Commander Shangargne.

It also laid the groundwork for his later failures.
