Chapter 249: The Legislative Assembly's Counterattack
The constitution of the Second Republic provided for the undisputed supreme military command of all France, a power that no one could challenge even the Legislative Assembly.
It's just that the Standing Committee did not expect Jérôme. Bonaparte was so undenied martial virtue that he would choose to make a move in the Legislative Assembly.
This means that the executive power of the President is not affected by the adjournment of the Legislative Assembly, but the legislative power held by the Legislative Assembly and the power to dissolve the Cabinet are adjourned.
Not to mention that the Party of Order is now facing a torn apart, because the stupid speech of the Comte de Chambord in France has caused the orthodox and clerical factions of the Party of Order to follow Chambor's arrangement and diverge towards the Elysée Palace and the Republicans.
In general, the president won the battle with the party of order.
The dissuasion that took place in the Elysée Palace was nothing more than a routine temptation of the Party of Order.
In Jérôme. Bonaparte, citing "the power conferred on the president by the Republic", ordered Odilón. Barrow and Montalembert's mouths are gagged.
This has come to this, Odilon. Barrow could only sigh as they showed their last cards.
"If you really want to go your own way and remove General Shangargne, we will re-examine the ability of your cabinet to continue to lead France after the start of parliament." Odilon. There was a threat in Barrow's words.
It's just Odilon. The threat in Barrow's mouth is more than that of Jerrome. Bonaparte's imagination was far off, he had thought that the Legislative Assembly would vote a no-confidence bill against him, who would have thought that the Legislative Assembly would not even have the courage to fight, they would only target their own cabinet.
Jérôme. A trace of contempt flashed in Bonaparte's eyes, and his words also revealed a tone of disdain: "Monsieur Barrow, you can do whatever you want, I believe that the eyes of all French people are bright!" If things do get out of hand, let all French citizens vote for themselves. ”
Odilon. Barrow and the MPs of Order behind him changed their faces. Bonaparte's threat of a referendum was like a sharp knife to them, and they managed to keep the crowd out. Bonaparte was bringing them in.
"Mr. President, I believe that the Legislative Assembly will make a fair judgment, and excessive use of the power of the masses is likely to backfire itself!" Montalembert compromised with Jérôme. Bonaparte said.
"I also trust that the Holy Legislative Assembly will make a fair and strict judgment!" Hearts disdain for the Legislative Assembly Jérôme. Bonaparte still assumed a posture of respect for the Legislative Assembly, and he wanted to compromise to give the group of deputies the illusion that they were willing to solve the problem within the framework.
After some conversation, Jérôme. Bonaparte did not reach any substantive compromise with the MPs of the Order Party.
Jérôme with a tough attitude. Bonaparte did not make the slightest concession in the matter of Champaerne.
Odilon. Barro, Montalembert and other councillors had no choice but to return, and when they returned to rue de Povalti, they met Thiers, who had been waiting for him for a long time.
"How's the conversation?" Thiers, who was already hopeless about the negotiations, still asked as usual.
Odilon sitting on the couch. Barrow made himself a cup of coffee, took a sip and replied, "It's useless!" The president no longer listens to any of our ideas, and he doesn't even heed our threats! ”
Montalembert also shrugged his shoulders: "What can we do now?" Filing a lawsuit against the president? Or is it to support Shangargne as speaker? We won't be able to do either of these things in a short period of time! ”
Montalembert's words took another blow to the morale of the councillors in the room, many of whom were already considering whether they should find a home to join in advance.
Thiers looked at Montalembert, a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Yes! We don't have anything to do anymore! ”
Thiers' "surrender" undoubtedly gave the team an even worse blow, and everyone looked at Thiers in amazement.
"Don't look at me like that!" Thiers shrugged his shoulders and sat down at Odillon. Next to Barrow, he smiled and raised his coffee cup to brew Odilon. Barrow: "I'm right, Mr. Barrow! ”
Then he glanced at Montalembert again: "Right! Monsieur Montalember! ”
Odilon. Barrow and Montalembert were also smiling.
These three "old foxes" in the political arena have long understood each other's calculations.
"Alas!" Thiers sighed and said to himself, "I don't know if we can meet together like this next time." ”
With that, Thiers drank his coffee and got up to leave.
Odilon. Barrow and Montalembert sat face to face and looked at each other for a moment, without saying a word.
The two then left Povalti Street in quick succession.
Pvalti, who once carried the "dream" of the Orderists, has now gradually become an ordinary room.
On 1 October 1850, it was the last day that Chahangargne was relieved of his post and left the Tuileries Palace.
Under the October sun, a horse-drawn carriage galloped out of the Élysée Palace and soon arrived at the entrance of the war department.
Early in the morning, he was waiting at the mouth of the war department. General Arnault and the others hurried to the door of the carriage after seeing the carriage bearing the emblem of Bonaparte.
The door slowly opened, and St. General Arnault's face changed from joy to consternation, he never imagined that the person in the carriage was the president himself, and that such a thing should not be done by the presidential secretary, so why should the president himself be alarmed.
"Your Majesty?" Saint. General Arno looked at Jérôme suspiciously, a little puzzled.
"Come on!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said indifferently.
"Yes!" Saint. General Arno stepped down the steps to enter the carriage.
The doors closed again, and the carriage began to gallop again.
Sit in Jérôme. Opposite Bonaparte the St. Arno stood tall and said nothing, and the carriage fell into a brief silence.
As the carriage galloped to the banks of the Seine, looking at the workers who were busy on both sides of the Seine and its banks, Jérôme. Bonaparte spoke: "St. General Arno! ”
"In!" Saint. General Arnault hurriedly responded.
"After a while, you will be the Minister of War!" Jérôme. Bonaparte to St. Arno responded.
"Good!" Saint. Arno replied subconsciously, and after a few seconds, he reacted with an "ah".
"Surprised?" Jérôme. Bonaparte turned his head to St. Arno asked.
"Don't ......" St. Arno hurriedly denied, and he cautiously asked, "Minister Regnio, he ......"
"General Regnio will go to Strasbourg as commander of the Strasbourg Front!" Jérôme. Bonaparte went directly to St. Arnault said.
"Yes!" Saint. General Arnault immediately responded.
"St. General Arnault, don't you want to ask me why I did this? "Jérôme. Bonaparte said with a meaningful smile.
"It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders!" Saint. Arnault was categorical about Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.
"Good!" Jérôme. Bonaparte for St. Arno smiled with satisfaction, he didn't like to ask questions about soldiers, and soldiers who thought too much could easily become reds.
In order to soothe the emotions that may arise from his subordinates, Jérôme. Bonaparte or to the saints. General Arnault explained: "Parliament will vote no confidence in the cabinet after it reopens, and this is the price we pay for removing Shangargne!" It is very likely that General Regnio will be removed after the fall of this cabinet, and I hope that you will be able to take his place after General Regnio's removal. After the separation of the decree is completed, you will take over the position of Chief of the General Staff.
In addition, General Regino's personality is not suitable for the next operation, and he retains too much mercy for the enemy. ”
Jérôme. Bonaparte's words became famous and dispelled the saint. Arnault's heart for Jérôme. Bonaparte's conjecture that he wanted to unload the mill and kill the donkey, for Jérôme. The second half of Bonaparte's words, St. Arno felt something empathetic in his heart.
Minister Renio is always too "merciful" to those "enemies" of the War Department, and some enemies that can be eliminated by Lei Ling's means, the Minister always leaves them a way to live.
In accordance with the St. In Arnault's own opinion, for some die-hards, retirement is the best way out.
The heart of the President agrees with the Saint. On the surface, Arno still has to put on a stand to protect his boss.
After all, the president only asked Minister Regnio to leave the center temporarily, and it is up to the president to decide whether he can return to the center after that.
"Minister, he's too easy to trust people!" Saint. Behind Arnault's seemingly blaming is actually a disguised statement that the minister is "honest".
"I hope that when you are Minister of War, you will be able to give orders from above." Jérôme. Bonaparte to St. Arno admonished, then added: "By the way, I will find someone to take your place after you become Minister of War!" However, the next one will not be holding multiple positions like you. Do you have any recommendations? ”
For Jérôme. Bonaparte's trust, Saint. Arnault was somewhat moved, out of a cautious attitude of the saint. Arno to Jérôme. Bonaparte recommended: "Your Majesty, I think that Brigadier General Leboeuf is competent enough to assist you in the head of the War Department, and that it would be better for the Secretary of State to send a civilian to do so!" ”
"Hmmm! I know! "Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded to St. Arno responded.
The carriage drove along the banks of the Seine, through the streets of Place de la Révolution, and finally on the outskirts of the gardens of the Tuileries Palace, where their journey ended.
