Chapter 285 12.2 Coup D'état Prologue (2)

Over the next few days, the "social democrats" in the Legislative Assembly revolved around Jérôme. Bonaparte's order to intensify censorship was so criticized that what should have been a place of sacredness and majesty in the legislature was now a wet market, and every meeting ended in a tumultuous scene.

What is even more unusual is that during the period of criticism of the "social democrats", there was no sign of rebuttal from the government officials, and they always responded with an attitude of the left ear in the right ear.

After several days of arguments and rejections of proposals, the "social democrats" knew that it was impossible to abolish censorship, and they had no choice but to abandon their attacks on the government.

At this moment, I don't know which little cutie (Wang Ba Lizi) sent a message to the Legislative Assembly: the Banque de France had remitted 30 million francs to Société Gérieux as a loan for the revitalization of agriculture.

The "republican" parliamentarians, who received the news, were so rewarded that they instead demanded that the government hand over a concrete budget plan for a loan for the revitalization of agriculture of 30 million francs.

If the government fails to come up with a reasonable plan, the "social democrats" will impeach the government.

When the news from the Palais Bourbon reached the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, sitting in the minister's office enjoying the long-lost tranquility was a little messy.

He didn't know exactly where the Legislative Assembly got the news from, and more importantly, he didn't receive the so-called agricultural revitalization loan at all.

After careful consideration, Bife was convinced that the so-called 30 million francs must have something to do with the one at the Élysée Palace, and that he had to make a trip to the Élysée Palace.

It was late afternoon, and the weather in Paris was getting colder and colder day by day, and the setting sunset swayed its last bit of hurry, putting a fiery red tie on the sky.

Darkness is coming!

In the light of the sunset, a horse-drawn carriage sped out of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, and after about 5 minutes along the Seine, it turned right into the Avenue des Champs-Ésées, and then along the Avenue des Champs-Élysées until the end of the road, where the Élysée Palace appeared directly in front of the carriage.

The carriage slowly stopped at the gate of the Élysée Palace, and the guards guarding the gate looked at each other after seeing the sign of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce marked on the carriage, and one of the guards came to the carriage with a small cannon, and the guard tapped the carriage lightly with his hand, and the yellow curtain hanging in the carriage was unfurled, and the figure of Minister Bifei was more than the current carriage.

After a while, the carriage door opened, and Minister Bifei slowly walked down, pointed to the closed gate of the Elysée Palace, and kindly asked the guards, "Why don't you open it?" Could it be that His Excellency the President is no longer in it? ”

"Your Excellency, the President has ordered us to close the Élysée Palace, and no one is allowed to open without his order!" ”

"Are we ministers not allowed to do so?" Bife looked puzzled, and he was puzzled by the president's behavior.

The guards had a hesitant look on their faces, and before Minister Bife arrived, the Minister of Railways, Morni, the Police, the Religious Mopa, and the Minister of War, St. Murphy. Arnault, the Minister of Public Works Pessini, and the Minister of Justice, Ruet, all entered the Élysée Palace.

It stands to reason that there is no big problem for the minister to enter, but these people are specially approved by the president to enter the Elysée Palace, and Minister Bife in front of him does not seem to have been approved.

Could it be that the president forgot?

The guards thought to themselves that maybe it was really the president's side that had made a mistake.

"Your Excellency, wait a moment! I'll report it right away! The guards decided to inquire about the inside of the Élysée Palace first.

"Hmm!" Bife nodded, and stood alone in the sunset.

The guards trotted all the way up to the head of the office, Mocal.

At this time, Mokal was holding a stack of files called "Rubicon", and now he was about to go to the book to deliver the files.

[Rubicon: The name of an Italian river that Caesar crossed to fight Pompey in 49 BC.] Later, he became the face of major actions and breakthroughs. 】

After the guards reported to Mocal about Bife's situation, Mocal was also a little confused, and in his memory the president did not invite Bife over.

"Director, what are we going to do?" The guards asked Mocal Dao.

"You wait here for a while, I'll go in and ask!" Mocal replied to the guards.

The guards were now waiting in place, and Mocal entered the room with the dossier in his hand.

When Mocal placed the file on the square table, he gathered in Jérôme. Bonaparte in front of Jérôme. Bonaparte reported the news.

Jérôme. Bonaparte's face was also puzzled when he heard Mocal's news.

If you don't come sooner or later, you just come at this juncture.

Is this unintentional or something else!

Jérôme. Bonaparte decided to meet with Bife anyway, and asked Mocal to take Bife to a separate room.

Mocal received the order and left, Jérôme. Bonaparte opened the "Lubica" dossier and brought the tasks that had already been divided into the dossier into their respective hands.

After receiving their tasks, everyone had a solemn expression on their faces.

"Guys, that's what you're going to do after 12 o'clock tonight!" Jérôme. Bonaparte solemnly said to everyone present: "Be sure to finish them!" Every step we take will determine our future destiny! It's a life-and-death struggle, and once you act, you won't allow for any mistakes! ”

"Yes!" Everyone present responded to Jerome with a serious expression. Bonaparte.

"St. Minister Arnault! "Jérôme. Bonaparte turned his gaze to St. Bonaparte. Arnault said: "Your task is the most important of all, so I hope you can be more cautious!" ”

"Understood!" Saint. Arnault, of course, understands the responsibility he has on his shoulders.

If he fails, the entire coup plan will be in vain.

At that time, I am afraid that I will have to leave the army in disgrace.

For the sake of their own future, St. Arnault will not allow himself to deviate in the slightest.

When Jérôme. After Bonaparte had completed all the tasks, Mocal entered the room again and asked Jérôme. Bonaparte reported that Bife had arrived.

"I see!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded to Mocal, then turned to the coup group present and said that he was leaving for a while.

Under the leadership of Mocal, Jérôme. Bonaparte came to the parlor on the third floor, and he pushed open the door to see the parlor in the parlor.

"Minister Bife!" Jérôme. Bonaparte shook hands with Minister Bife with a smile on his face.

Bife and Jérôme. Bonaparte sat on an adjacent sofa and conversed.

"Your Excellency, can you take the liberty of asking what happened along the way? Why do I see so many soldiers in your courtyard! Minister Biffey asked Jérôme with trepidation. Bonaparte said.

Jérôme. Bonaparte did not answer Bife's question directly, but said in a cordial tone: "Mr. Bifei, we have been on business for more than a year!" ”

"Hmm!" Minister Bife nodded, and he couldn't help but show a look of shame when he remembered the meeting where he begged the president not to shake out because of the women's clothing incident.

"I don't know, what do you think of me?" Jérôme. Bonaparte said in a flirtatious tone.

"You will save France from the maelstrom of the economy!" Bife vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte praised.

Jérôme. Bonaparte's scaled-down version of Roosevelt's revitalization plan did pull France out of the economic doldrums faster than history, and the high-speed infrastructure construction made France's economic growth steady and improving.

Of course, there is no end to such economic stimulus, especially now that France is still under the dual standard, and the rash use of Keynesianism will only prevent the complete collapse of the entire French economic system.

If it is not used, such an acceleration of industry will inevitably lead to a large-scale economic crisis.

The cause of the economic crisis would completely wipe out the entire empire.

In the final analysis, the current rapid growth is nothing more than a poison wrapped in honey.

When the honey is exhausted, it is the time when the poison strikes.

"But we now face a major hidden danger! Such an economic growth rate is nothing more than using the government to take the lead and forcibly stimulate economic growth! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said "worriedly": "It's like giving the government opium, and when the opium effect is over, our economy will instantly return to its original shape!" Just like the railroad fever in Britain! ”

"Ahh Minister Biffey certainly understands the impact of the Britannia Railway fever.

"It's not like there's no solution!" Jérôme. Bonaparte changed his tone and said, "It's just that they probably won't give me so much time!" You can also see that the parliament has been opposing my re-election plan! They are afraid of the populace, even of the surname Bonaparte! ”

Jérôme at this time. Bonaparte thought without further concealing his ambitions: "I have decided to overthrow this lawless parliament, and then leave it up to all the French people to choose whether I want to stay or not!" ”

Until now, Bife finally understood Jérôme. Why exactly did Bonaparte deploy so many soldiers at the Elysée Palace.

Jérôme. Bonaparte's news, stunned by the news, Bife subconsciously said: "Your Excellency, your coup is not constitutional!" ”

"The Constitution?" Jérôme. Bonaparte said disdainfully, "The constitution must also be guided by the opinion of all the French people!" If the entire French people are not in accordance with the Constitution, then we are obliged to overthrow them! Minister Bife, would you like to join us? ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte offered an olive branch to Bife.
