"It's not something you have to think about! All you need to do is select Execute! If the loss is completed, all the consequences will be borne by the Legislative Assembly. ”

Speaker Duban did not fall into the saint. Arno's words were trapped, and he roared to emphasize the saint. Arnault executes the order.

"I'm sorry! I'm a soldier! My mission is to protect France from harm! I respect the spirit of the rule of law in the Republic, as well as the Legislative Assembly. But ......"

Saint. Arnault first showed weakness in his calm language, and then suddenly roared: "I will never allow a layman to dictate the army, we respect the Legislative Assembly, and we also hope that the Legislative Assembly will continue to treat us with due respect." ”

Saint. Arno paused, turned his body and said with a contemptuous smile on the corner of Speaker Duban's mouth: "If the members of the Legislative Assembly really need protection, then the Minister and I, as well as all my colleagues in the Ministry of War, can do everything in our power to protect the Legislative Assembly. A battalion? A regiment? We can mobilize a brigade, and we can even send troops outside the parliament to surround the parliament! Is the Legislative Assembly satisfied? ”

Saint. Arnault's answer was no longer a question from the Legislative Assembly to the Ministry of War, but more like a threat of war from the Ministry of War to the Legislative Assembly.

Saint. The grim expression on Arno's swarthy face seemed to say: if the Legislative Assembly continues to offend the army, then the army will consider dissolving the Legislative Assembly.

Both Speaker Duban on the rostrum and the members of the Standing Committee in the audience all showed a look of surprise and a hint of fear.

By now, Speaker Duban, who had already been difficult to ride a tiger, could only hold his face, desperately beat the wooden hammer and said coldly: "Can I think so, you and your ministers do not want to strictly implement the orders of the council!" ”

"No!" Saint. Arnault shrugged his shoulders and said with an innocent expression: "The War Department is not willing to disobey the resolution of the Legislative Assembly, we just need some time to study the movement and deployment of troops. ”

"How much time does it take?" Speaker Duban's voice remained stiff and cold.

"A month? Half? Or a year or two? "St. Arno's expression became gentle and humble, but his tone seemed to be teasing: "This depends on when the War Department can complete the plan!" We're not like you members of the Legislative Assembly, who just sit here all day and hold up the little card that you put in front of you and put it down. You just need to lift and put down, and it's up to us to do the work. ”

Now St. Arnault had utterly despised these outwardly united and inwardly ill-intentioned legislators, who would only huddle in the Legislative Assembly to establish a law and not dare to confront the War Department in earnest. They forget that they are the ones who enforce the law they have established, thousands of French civil servants.

"St. Mr. Arnault, you don't seem up to the job! "Speaker Duban to the saint. Arnault threatened: "Not only you, but we suspect that your ministers and the entire cabinet may not be up to the job!" Don't forget, the Legislative Assembly has the right to say that you are all recalled! ”

Saint. After bowing slightly to Speaker Duban on the rostrum, Arnault said politely: "Mr. Speaker, this is the power of the Legislative Assembly!" If you think I'm not up to the task, you can remove me! ”

Saint. Arnault's unafraid attitude of the threat left Speaker Duban at a loss, and according to the laws of the Second Republic, as long as he could unite the members of the Legislative Assembly, he was indeed capable of being like Jérôme. Bonaparte dissolved the cabinet, but the power of Speaker Duban was only to dismiss the cabinet.

The power to appoint the cabinet naturally rests with President Jérôme. In the hands of Bonaparte, this meant that the front foot of the Legislative Assembly had just dismissed the Ministry of War, and the back foot of Jérôme. Bonaparte could have turned the soup into the original food and rehired the dismissed members.

Not to mention the fact that the Legislative Assembly is not unified in its thinking, and it is okay to expect them to be in step once or twice, but it is obviously not possible to expect them to be in the same step and confront the president all the time

Everyone's interests are different, which makes it impossible for them to fight with the president over and over again.

Faced with hob meat like the saint. Arnault, Speaker Duban and members of the Standing Committee did not know what to do.

Seeing that Speaker Duban and the members of the Standing Committee were silent. Arno yawned lazily, stretched his waist and said, "Mr. Speaker, is the inquiry meeting over!" If nothing happens, I'll go! ”

After that, St. Without further seeking the consent of Speaker Duban and the members of the Standing Committee, Arnault descended the stairs from the podium to the corridor on the right side of the Legislative Assembly, which was covered with a large red Persian carpet.

"Who told you to leave!" The speaker of the Duban who reacted loudly reprimanded the saint. Arno, and hammered the wooden hammer.

Hearing the sound of a wooden hammer on the rostrum. Arnault stopped, turned his head to look at Speaker Duban and said, "Mr. Speaker, I think I've done my job!" I'll leave the rest to your National Assembly to talk about for yourself, and don't you love nothing more than doing these useless things? ”

Saint. Arnault mocked Speaker Duban and the members of the Standing Committee. Arnault's actions seem to be in response to the clown behavior of Speaker Duban and the legislators.

"The guards caught him for me and banished him for me!" Furious, the speaker of the Duban Parliament shouted to order the councillors to send the saint. Arnault was arrested and then expelled from the Legislative Assembly.

The two guards in charge of guarding the corridor heard the call of Speaker Duban and came to the St. Church with a bitter face. Arno in front of him, but neither of them moved, and looked at St. with an apologetic expression. Arnault.

"You don't have to do it!" Saint. Arno said with a rebellious expression on his head.

Followed by two guards, St. Arnault left the Legislative Assembly.

Saint. Shortly after Arnault left the Legislative Assembly, Speaker Duban, who had recovered his strength, once again tapped the wooden hammer in his hand to announce the dissolution of the inquiry to the members present.

The next day, the proceedings of the hearings were detailed in the Paris Gazette, and they pointed to the heart of all the contradictions in the Saint-Gazette. Arnault and the War Department did not obey the command and flouted the Legislative Assembly.

[Gazette: The royal newspaper of the Orleans, the newspaper publishes most of the articles of the left-wing royal faction and the speeches of the leaders of the Order in the Legislative Assembly.] 】

This time, the Gazetteer tried in vain to exploit public opinion in Paris to force the president to remove Regnio of the Point War Ministry from office and St. Saint-Gazette. Arnault.

But the members of the Party of Order seem to have forgotten that the dominant power of public opinion in Paris as a whole is in the hands of the Bonapartist faction.

Almost on the same day as the newspaper's haircut, a group of "masses" dressed in all kinds of costumes and wearing shabby felt hats tangled together, armed with long guns and short clubs, and broke into the base camp of the "Gazette" in the name of "collecting debts", and then beat the members of the "Gazette" indiscriminately.

Where did the reporters and editor-in-chief of the "Gazette" ever think that this would happen, they wanted to justly reprimand these blind streams, and then resisted, and the knot was beaten even more severely by the "gangsters".

Many articles were torn to shreds, and the printing press was violently destroyed.

Some gentlemen of the Gazette secretly went to a nearby police station to tell the police what was going on inside the Gazette, but the police refused on the grounds that they were only administrative police (Chengguan Law Enforcement Brigade) and had no law enforcement powers, and then advised them to look for "armed police".

By the time the Gazette reporter found the "armed police" and came to the newspaper, the interior of the newspaper had already been destroyed.

The "blind stream" who stayed in the "Gazette" also pointed to his own blue nose and swollen face [caused by the gazetter reporter's counterattack] and cried to the police about the news of the Gazette beating.

The news alarmed Thiers and Barrow in the rue de Powalti after being led by Odilón. Barrow was responsible for negotiating with the police to get all the members of the Gazette out of the police station.

During the period of the arrest of the Gazette, the Bonaparte also "counterattacked" the Gazette.

The article exposed the conspiracy of the "Legislative Assembly to divide the army and make France unable to face foreign invasion" and instilled in the citizens of Paris the idea that "the division of military power was to plunge France into civil war".

The citizens of Paris, who still remember the civil war of two years ago, did not want to experience it again, and under the leadership of some well-meaning people in the literary world, the citizens of Paris raised their voices to call for "the Legislative Assembly to stop splitting the army".

Subsequently, the Observer, which had been silent, also made its voice heard at this time, calling on the citizens of Paris to unite and make their voices heard.

An option "about prosperity and order or chaos and the rule of law" appeared in the newspapers.

Reporters from the Observer newspaper enthusiastically conducted an investigation.

After several days of "investigation", it was concluded that the citizens of Paris preferred "prosperity and order" to "chaos and the rule of law".

……

The Observer earnestly hopes that the Legislative Assembly will have the courage to admit its mistakes, and that prosperity and order are the actions that the Republic needs most now! Every good Frenchman should act for the sake of prosperity and order......" Speaker Duban, who was sitting on the sofa of the mansion on rue de Pvalti reading the contents of the Observer, turned the color of pig's liver, and he scolded: "Shit article! ”

"That guy Napoleon is better at mobilizing the will of the Parisian people than we are!" Thiers showed no anger in the slightest, and there was even a little more appreciation in his words.
