The questioning of the Elysée Palace faction silenced Speaker Duban and some members of the Order Party. If they can trust the president and the War Department, they won't bother to figure out how to gain military power without sparing the War Department.

Of course, all those present will not say that they do not trust the War Ministry, that they will only control the army that has always been under the control of the Legislative Assembly in the name of protecting the Parliament?

While some members of the Order Party were speechless with Speaker Duban, Thiers stood up and smiled, and said in a casual tone: "We respect the power of the President over the army, but the Legislative Assembly is the highest organ of power in France, and it is the core of a country, and it should have the right to protect the laws it has made from being amended." Sir, the creation of a section directly under the parliament is not contrary to the spirit of the law. ”

"So what's going to happen between the army and the president? If one day France were to face an enemy invasion, the parliament would have to obey the president's orders.

Or should we follow the orders of the Legislative Assembly! What should be the interpretation of the constitution's right to command the French army in command! The councillor of the Elysée Palace bit the "Constitution" to refute Thiers, and then he said in a passionate tone to all the parliamentarians present, to be precise, the "social democrats": "Gentlemen, we should follow the Constitution, which is the fundamental law of France in the service of the Legislative Assembly, and the representative of the French spirit of the rule of law!" The dispatch of the army must be approved by the president before it can be moved, and this is something that no one can shake! ”

With that, the Prince of Montfort also got up, rolled up his sleeves and said loudly: "That's right, the power of the French Republic to give the president the supreme military command cannot be shaken in the slightest. If anyone dares to shake the spirit of the rule of law in the Republic, we will resort to force against the whole people! ”

"That's right! Appeal to the whole people! ”

"Appeal to the whole people!"

More and more members of the Élysée Palace stood up under the lead of Prince Montfort and shouted "to the people".

The members of the Party of Order, including Thiers, had gloomy faces, they did not understand that behind the appeal to the whole people was to resort to force, and that they had mastered most of the army in the suburbs of Paris, they were not like those mountain factions a year ago, and in the event of internal turmoil in Paris, no one could believe that they would be the final victors.

In particular, some time ago, in the conflict between the commander of Shangargne and the president, Thiers keenly discovered that most of the regular troops in Paris had submitted to Napoleon, and the National Guard was more or less inclined to Napoleon.

If the Party of Order had declared war on the president, Thiers believed that they would have no benefit.

Quite here, Thiers's attitude softened a little, and he decided to take it slowly.

He can't get the president, he just needs to be able to get some people in the War Department.

However, the proposal must be adopted.

"I'm not trying to deny the president's authority over the military, we just want to create a more efficient legislative assembly!" Thiers's tone softened slightly, trying to dispel the strong smell of gunpowder in the Legislative Assembly.

"The efficiency of the Legislative Assembly lies in the members, and as long as the Legislative Assembly can be united, then the efficiency will naturally be improved! I really don't understand what the hell does the Legislative Assembly need the army for? Do you want to use the army to suppress the people who support your country? "Pierre. Bonaparte sneered at Thiers and the others in a comical Italian-French accent.

In the face of Pierre's ridicule, Thiers did not get angry in the slightest, and he retorted in an easy-going tone: "Councillor Pierre, the purpose of the army is only to give the Legislative Assembly the ability to protect the French Constitution!" So that the constitution can be implemented more quickly! ”

After saying that, Thiers did not continue to pay attention to the Bonapartists and Pierre. Bonaparte, he turned to Speaker Duban and said: "Mr. Speaker, now you can vote!" ”

"Oh! Good! The reaction desperately beat the wooden hammer and said loudly: "Vote now!" ”

With the near-rogue cooperation of Thiers and Speaker Duban, the sanctity of the Legislative Assembly was lost.

Not only the "Social Democrats" and the Élysée faction, but also some members of the Order Party were skeptical of what the constitution they were defending was.

After the proposal was compulsory, the Elysée faction, the Social Democrats, and a small number of clerical orderists voted against, while the Orthodox, Orleanists, and some extremist clerical factions voted in favor.

The parliament won by a narrow margin of three votes.

"I declare the proposal passed!" Speaker Duban tapped the wooden hammer with a solemn expression.

"Let's go!" Prince Montfort and other members of the Élysée Palace were just as they had at the beginning. Roland wanted to lead the Elysée Palace to send members away without saying a word.

However, the departure of the Elysée Palace faction was not as happy as the departure of the Mountain faction, and the party of order that proposed its passage did not feel any joy in the hearts of them.

They know that the president will not give up!

The Prince of Montfort and the Élysée Palace, who had left Bourbon, sent the councillors to the Élysée Palace at once and informed Jérôme of the news of what had happened at the Bourbon Palace. Bonaparte.

"The proposal passed?" Jérôme sitting in a chair with his fingernails buttoned. Bonaparte asked nonchalantly.

"That's right!" Pierre. Bonaparte said with a wry smile.

"Oh!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied nonchalantly and continued to clasp his fingernails.

"My Excellency, the proposal has now been passed! You're about to lose control of your army! "Looking at Jérôme with a nonchalant look. Bonaparte, Prince Montfort was angry.

"Who said that?" Jérôme. Bonaparte looked at the Elysée councillors present with a look of surprise and contempt.

"The council has passed the proposal!" Prince Montfort stressed again.

"So what?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked rhetorically, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Does the passage of the Legislative Assembly have to be carried out?" They underestimate me! ”

"What do you say?" Prince of Montfort to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"Proposals without my consent are just waste paper!" Jérôme. Bonaparte got up from his seat, and said in a contemptuous tone: "They are also worthy to talk to me about the constitution?" ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte's contempt for the Party of Order made the Elysée members of the Élysée faction feel their hearts in their stomachs, and they realized that whether the proposals of the Legislative Assembly could be carried out smoothly depended not on the Legislative Assembly, but on the will of the President.

How can the Party of Order, which holds the legislative power, be an opponent of the president, who holds the executive power.

Passing through Jérôme. Bonaparte's appeasement, the Elysée Palace sent members to relax and leave.

When Walewski went to the study again after sending all the deputies away, the president's angry voice came from the door of the study.

"Thiers, this dog mongrel! How dare he! How dare he! ”

Jérôme at this time. Bonaparte was completely indifferent, and alone, in his study, he scolded Thiers, and "sent" all the foul language he could think of.

Jérôme who vented a pass. Bonaparte sat down again and pondered.

Outside the door, Valewski had the courage to push the door open when he heard no movement in the room.

Jérôme who adjusts his mentality. Bonaparte smiled again and asked cordially: "All the councillors have sent home!" ”

"Hmm!" Valewski nodded to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"Now, you immediately go to the War Department and tell the Minister of War, Regnio, and the Secretary of State. Arnault told them not to be afraid of any council, just business as usual! I'll carry the rest, but remember that you can't give the council any interesting opportunity, and the most popular thing for those dog mongrels to do is kick their noses in the face. As long as they see that you are weak, they will bully you mercilessly! Is it the most important thing to stabilize the Ministry of War? "Jérôme. Bonaparte immediately asked Valewski to convey this passage to the War Ministry.

The Party of Order competed with him for the command of the army, and the command of the army could not be separated from the Ministry of War.

As long as the War Department is not in chaos, the Party of Order will have no chance.

In the final analysis, it is still a question of the county officials and the current management.

Valevsky, who understood the gravity of the situation, appealed to Jérôme. After Bonaparte resigned, he quickly got into a carriage and went to the Ministry of War.

When Valewski entered the halls of the War Department, he could clearly feel that there was a clear commotion within the War Department from the last time he had been there, and it seemed that the proposal of the Legislative Assembly had reached the War Ministry.

Valevsky did not have time to pay attention to them and went directly to the minister's office.

Walewski, who entered the minister's office, saw the Minister of War, Regnio, the secretary of state. Arnault, Logistics Director Niel, Personnel Director Rendel, and Military Affairs Director Longdon, these generals, who constitute the basic functions of the War Department, gathered together as if to discuss something.

"Secretary General Valewski, you're here!" Minister Regnio hurriedly got up to greet Valewski.

"Mr. Minister, I believe you should have received the news too!" Valewski said to Regnio with a serious expression.

Reginio nodded and said, "That's what we're here for, do you have any instructions from the president?" ”

"The president asked me to tell you!" Valevsky's confident and majestic voice conveyed to them: "It's business as usual in the War Department, do what you have to do!" If there is any problem, the president will carry it for you! There is no need to be soft on the council! And there is also the need to stabilize the Ministry of War! ”

Jérôme. After Bonaparte's words were conveyed to the members of the War Ministry through the mouth of Valewski, the ministers and subordinate directors said that they would guard the War Ministry for the President and would not allow the Party of Order to take advantage of it.
