As soon as the "circular" was issued, the entire War Department was enveloped in a tense atmosphere, and the entire department was silent, and both the academic-technic military bureaucracy and the actual combat military personnel understood that there would be a conflict in Paris in the next game, and that if the whole of Paris was not in trouble, it would fall into civil strife.

Fortunately, after Minister Regnio and St. General Arnault's reorganized War Department did not fall into the predicament of a month ago because of this circular, and the entire department was still operating in an orderly manner.

At 8:30 a.m., the heads of departments and officials of the War Department at the level of deputy director and above received a notice that Minister Regnio would convene a meeting at 9:30 a.m., and at the same time asked all departments to restrain the members of their departments and beware of leaking information.

Everyone in the department knew that this was probably the pre-war mobilization of the War Department.

Therefore, the small and medium-sized bureaucrats in various departments of the Ministry of War first warned their subordinates not to make trouble for themselves, and some division chiefs even used the mode of mutual supervision by the officials in the department to ensure that no one leaked the news and thus affected themselves.

At about 8:50 a.m., the officers of the Department of War and the deputy department arrived at the meeting place one after another, and they found their positions according to their rank and the names placed on the tables.

At 9:10, the director and deputy director were all in place, and the director and deputy director began to arrive at their corresponding positions one after another.

At 9:20, representatives of the members of the secretariat room, Bazin and Trochu, arrived at the venue and sat down.

Minister Regnio and St. General Arnault arrived at 9:25 a.m., but strangely enough, Minister Regnio met with Saint-Arnault. General Arnault did not sit in the presiding seat, but on the left and right sides of the presiding seat.

At 9:30 a.m., a person who surprised even the members of the War Department appeared at the War Department.

"Hello everyone!" Jérôme that was supposed to be at the Elysée Palace. Bonaparte actually appeared in the War Ministry, and he looked like the person in charge of presiding over the meeting.

Sure enough, Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled and sat down in the place that should have belonged to Minister Regnio.

"I didn't want to come!!" Jérôme. Bonaparte cleared his throat and said in a calm tone, "However, who made this action too important, so I had to come over myself!" ”

After that, Jérôme. Bonaparte's eyes sharpened, and his tone became aggressive: "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't think you don't understand what this morning's announcement is all about! ”

He paused, as if he was looking after himself, and said, "That's right, I'm going to remove Shangalgne, the incompetent commander!" Two years, two whole years, Shangarne did nothing in this position! I will never allow the army to have such a corpse and vegetarian person, and the existence of Shangarne is the greatest blasphemy against us and this pure army! ”

"That's right! We should put an end to incompetent generals like Shangargne! Minister Regnio said on the sidelines.

"We will not tolerate Shangarne's behavior, and we will absolutely have zero tolerance for guys like Shangarne! I ask you to maintain a state of non-public martial law and to be ready to deal with unexpected events. If you have a problem, deal with it immediately! "Jérôme. Bonaparte's serious expression and his uncle-like face gave the War Ministry bureaucrats an invisible sense of oppression: "For us, this is a critical moment, and we must not take it lightly!" Whoever dares to neglect his duties at this time and report the news is the sinner of the whole country and the whole nation, and the military tribunal is his final destination, do you understand? ”

"Got it!" Face Jérôme. Bonaparte's naked threats, the long-tamed bureaucrats and the soldiers inclined to Bonaparte, who had no chance of resisting, hurriedly shouted and showed their loyalty with a loud attitude.

"Of course, you don't have to be afraid of anything!" Jérôme after the severity. Bonaparte released another piece of good news: "The commanders of the 2nd and 3rd Brigades in Paris, as well as most of the commanders of the National Guard, are inclined to us!" He will faithfully carry out the orders of the War Department! All you need to do is crush those who don't want to obey orders! ”

"Yes!" The officers of the War Department were visibly relieved that as long as two brigades were willing to obey their command, they were naturally confident that they could suppress the only brigade under Shangarne.

"That's it! I've finished what I'm going to say, and I'll leave the rest to your ministers and state secretaries! "Jérôme. Bonaparte calmly resigned to the members of the Ministry of War.

Before leaving the conference hall, Jérôme. Bonaparte did not forget to mark this pie for the members of the War Department: "Don't worry! God sees your efforts! God will give them everything they want! ”

In the rejection of Minister Regnio with St. After Minister Arnault's request for an escort, Jérôme. Bonaparte left alone through the back door and left the War Department in an inconspicuous black carriage, the second place he was going to was the headquarters of the Hawass news agency, and he was to use this time to find something to do for Commander Shangalgne.

Jérôme. After Bonaparte left, Minister Regnio sat in Jérôme. In Bonaparte's position, he said sternly in a characteristic rough voice: "I believe you should understand what you are about to face now!" So, I would like to remind you that we are going to face a war that we must never lose, and I know that some people will be paralyzed by the words of the President just now, so we must be more cautious about the form......"

Saint. General Arnault also took Minister Regnio's words and continued: "In any case, the world is always full of challenges and opportunities, and you have to work hard for what you want. As the President has just said, the dangers we face are nothing compared to the rewards! I sincerely hope that you can work hard for your future! ”

Next, Minister Regnio began to make strategic deployments.

Thanks to the decree of a month ago, the War Ministry has absolute control over the army.

Minister Regnio quickly ordered the members of the War Department to go to the National Guard and the army to take Jérôme Brown. Bonaparte's briefings were in the hands of the commander of each of his subordinate units, who, if necessary, could be duly threatened to make them afraid to disobey orders.

"Once Shangargne is dismissed, he will have the rank of commander of the regular army. Kuzan. Major General Montauban took over, and the rank of National Defence Officer was replaced by Baragai. General Dilière takes over! Minister Regnio went on to explain to the bureaucrats of the War Department the arrangements for the official post of Shangalgne: "After all, it was expedient for the commander of the regular army to be the commander of the National Guard!" The National Guard formed by those bigwigs is no better than our loyal army...... They will always cause us a series of problems! ”

The bureaucrats of the Ministry of War who were present understood what Minister Regnio meant, and the National Guard was too noisy compared to the "honest" army.

From the First Empire to the Kingdom of Orleans in 1815, 1830 and 1848, the armies formed by this group of petty bourgeois were always able to play a role in this.

Whether it's Jerome. Bonaparte or the history of Louis. Napoleon, they don't like such noisy guys.

Not to mention that the cost of using the National Guard is several times higher than that of the regular army, and the efficiency shown is far less than that of the regular army.

"That's it! The meeting was dissolved! It's time for you to do your part! "Minister Regnio and St. General Arno got up and left.

Officials from the War Department also followed Minister Regnio and St. Saint. General Arnault's pace left.

A large net is wrapping around Shangargne, and at the end of the net is Jérôme. The coup d'état of the Bonaparte gang is gearing up.

……

In the afternoon of the same day, the newspaper office attached to the Élysée Palace published an order that appeared to have been given to the 1st Division in May 1848 (in May 1848 Shangargne was the commander of the 1st Division, so the order could only have been typed by him). This order is still Jérôme. Bonaparte flipped through the scrolls of the Ministry of the Interior and found it. It was an exhortation to the officers not to tolerate traitors in their ranks in the event of a mutiny, and to send troops in accordance with the guidelines of the National Assembly.

As soon as this news was issued, Chahangargne once again became the most beautiful boy in Paris.

Although Shangargne has repeatedly denied that he did not issue this order at the time, and claims that it was all a false accusation by a newspaper affiliated with the Élysée Palace, it is also possible that this order was made by Shangargne given the problematic composition of Shangargne in May '48.

In Jérôme. Under Bonaparte's hint, the cabinet questioned the issue, and the Minister of the Interior, Baroshe, and the Minister of Justice, Ruiet, even pointed the contradiction of the questioning at the Legislative Assembly.

The Standing Committee had to go down to defend Shangargne in person during the intersessional period.

On September 29, Ruet appeared in the Palais Bourbon, and Ruet, standing on the podium, shouted to General Shangargne in the audience: "I hope General Shangargne will have a detailed explanation of the events of May 1848!" Why did you give such an order at that time! ”

"I didn't give such an order!"

In the face of Ruet's groundless accusations, Shangarne responded categorically.

"And what's going on with all this information in my hands?" Rue slapped the materials on the podium and reprimanded loudly.

"Who knows where you got the fakes!" Shangarne looked at the members of the Standing Committee and said bluntly: "Gentlemen, you can trust me! I'm with you now! ”

"We demand that Shangarne prove his innocence within twenty-four hours, otherwise we will prosecute General Shangarne!"
