Chapter 299: The referendum was successful

December 16, 1850.

In anticipation of all the citizens of France, the French State (the Second Republic had already been nominally dissolved) once again began a referendum.

In preparation for this referendum, Jérôme. Bonaparte's deliberately relaxed referendum restrictions, and the fact that soldiers and temporary residents also had the right to vote, the surname Bonaparte was a symbol of wealth for soldiers, and no one would refuse a Bonaparte to lead a victory.

The content of the referendum was also very chicken-thief, with the referendum in Paris reading "Are you willing to support the president for a new republic", and the content of the provinces was "Do you support Jérôme? Bonaparte became consul of France".

Two public complaints with different contents say the same thing, so as to weaken the resistance of the French opposition to the greatest extent.

Contrast Jérôme. Bonaparte's reply: "We must satisfy the opinion of Paris as well as the opinions of the provinces." Only in this way can we go on more smoothly in this transition period! ”

Yes! The so-called Third Republic is nothing more than Jérôme. Bonaparte established a transitional platform for the empire, and he stayed on this transitional platform for a while, until everyone forgot about the military coup and acquiesced to Jérôme. After Bonaparte, then the empire will be approaching again in this world.

The voting campaign lasted for two weeks, during which there were also black-box operations similar to those of the Yin soldiers borrowing votes.

[Since Provence is a traditional gathering place for anti-Bonapartists, in order to complete the political achievements explained above, it is also necessary to protect Jérôme. The authority of Bonaparte, the high-ranking officials of Provence, with the cooperation of the army, began to arrest those who opposed the Bonapartist faction. The arrested persons voted unanimously in favor of the referendum, and the final result was that the number of votes for the entire Provence region was twice the population. 】

In general, however, the French provinces still chose to support Jérôme. Bonaparte served as consul.

The citizens of the Seine (Paris) region are also not opposed to Jérôme. Bonaparte, nearly a third of the whole Senasheng abstained, one half voted in favor, and the remaining one-sixth voted against.

On the evening of December 30, the voting results of various places were released.

After two days of counting, it was finally completed on January 1, 1852.

All the newspapers spread the news throughout Paris at the same time, and according to the overnight statistics of the French government's audit department, a total of 8471431 votes in favor and 341351 votes were counted, which means that the votes in favor of the votes were overwhelmingly 8 million votes to 300,000 votes.

As soon as the news broke, the entire Bonapartist faction fell into an unprecedented revelry, and 8 million votes had already given the Bonapartist faction the legal justification for a legitimate coup.

From January 1st, no one will question Jérôme. Is the coup d'état of the Bonapartist in accordance with the law, Jérôme, who has the endorsement of 8 million Frenchmen. Bonaparte was already above the law.

When the news reached the prison, the republicans and mountain factions in the prison bowed their heads in mourning, and they also understood what 8 million votes meant.

The entire French people will be empowered by Jérôme. Bonaparte.

If they are not able to get from Jérôme. Bonaparte's hands to regain the votes, even if they used all kinds of illegal means against Jérôme. Bonaparte made a move, and they were also not qualified to play in Jérôme. After Bonaparte's death, he successfully took over Paris.

Moreover, the hasty assassination of a dictator empowered by the whole people is not a good thing for them in itself.

To celebrate the complete victory of the Bonapartists, Jerome was thrilled in his heart. Bonaparte went out of his way to the republican prison.

Accompanied by the Inspector General of Police, Mopa, Jérôme. Bonaparte came to the door of a cell, and through the viewing window of the cell, Jérôme. Bonaparte saw the "prisoners" in the cell.

The guy lying in the cell was none other than Kafenjak, the former consul of the Republic, and at this time Kafenjak was lying on the hard bed with a haggard face, curled up, looking at the once high-spirited Kafenjak, who was now like this, Jérôme. Bonaparte couldn't help but feel a little complacent in his heart.

"Open! I'm going to talk to General Kafenyak! "Jérôme. Bonaparte gave orders to Maupa.

"Your Majesty, do you need me to call a few people...... "Mopa asked Jérôme earnestly. Bonaparte.

"No need!" Jérôme. Bonaparte shook his head and entered the cell alone.

"General Kafenjak, don't pretend to be asleep! You can wake up! "Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled at Kafenjac as he pulled the chair of Kafenjac's desk down beside his bed.

Kafenjac opened his eyes and looked at Jérôme in front of him. Bonaparte, his eyes filled with disgust and dissatisfaction: "What are you doing here?" ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte shrugged his shoulders and said, "I said I came to see you, do you believe it?" ”

"Don't pretend to be merciful!" A contemptuous smile appeared at the corner of Kafenjak's mouth: "If you really have a shred of conscience, then you will not carry out a military coup!" ”

"General, it seems that political struggle has nothing to do with conscience!" For the taunts of Kafenjak Jerome. Bonaparte shook his head nonchalantly and said.

"You have imprisoned the whole republic! You have destroyed the republic! "Kafenjak harshly rebuked Jérôme. Bonaparte.

"General!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied in a serious tone: "What is the basis of the republic, it is universal suffrage!" It is to enable everyone to speak with the votes in their hands, to be able to make the weak speak, even if it is weak! The previous republic deprived them of the right to make their voices heard, and I return the power to the French people! I know better than you what a republic is, and I am a true republican! ”

"You shameless villain who manipulates public opinion!" Jérôme. Bonaparte's triumphant self-proclaimed "republican" gesture filled Kafenjac's heart with humiliation, and he wished to kill this guy now.

Reason told him he couldn't do that.

Kill Jérôme. Bonaparte would only lead to the complete republicans being spurned by all, and the monarchists would inevitably fall in Jérôme. Bonaparte usurped power after his death.

Compared to the monarchist worms, Jérôme. Bonaparte was indeed much more "republican".

"General, now 8 million French are on my side! I am representing the entire French people to abolish the National Assembly! "Jérôme. Bonaparte then replied to Kafenjac.

"Humph! What exactly are you trying to say? "Kafenjak vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"Join us! You'll get everything you want, whether it's fame or knighthood! "Jérôme. Bonaparte extended an olive branch to Kafenjak, and if a guy like Kafenjak turned his head on him, it would inevitably cause a serious split in the republican faction.

If it is not handled well, the republicans will fall apart.

Face Jérôme. Bonaparte handed him an olive branch, and Kafenjak fell silent, as if pondering whether to agree to Jérôme. Bonaparte.

After a while, Kafenjak's tone was full of determination, "I will never join you!" Whether you are exiled or imprisoned, I will fight you to the end! ”

"That's a shame!" Jérôme. Bonaparte sighed and got up to leave: "General Kafenjak, I wish you a pleasant trip in North Africa in advance!" ”

After that, Jérôme. Bonaparte left the cell where Kafenjac was.

Standing at the cell door waiting for a sound from inside before rushing in to save the driver, Mopa saw the door open, and quickly asked Jérôme. Bonaparte saluted.

"Let's go! Next! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Maupa.

Under the leadership of Mopa, Jérôme. Bonaparte came to Victor. The place where Hugo was held.

Jérôme in the cell. Bonaparte was killed on the spot by Victor. Hugo scolded in the face of the scolding in his mouth. Bonaparte became "the evil of this world" and sooner or later would be overthrown by the righteous people of Paris.

Jérôme. Bonaparte unhurriedly expressed France's support for him and invited Victor. Hugo rejoins them.

And Jérôme. What Bonaparte got was Victor. Hugo refused without hesitation, and ordered Jérôme. Bonaparte leaves the cell.

Jérôme leaving his cell. Bonaparte shook his head and sighed, "Why bother! ”

Subsequently, he met with several former orderists. Unlike the diehards of Kafenjak, these members of the Order party, who had a flexible moral boundary, agreed with Jérôme. Bonaparte's invitation, and said that after his release from prison, he would actively participate in "the election of official candidates."

Such an attitude made Jérôme. Bonaparte was so pleased that he immediately ordered Mupa to release several members of the Party of Order, including Falou and Montalembert.

On January 2, 1851, the French Third Republic was proclaimed. Bonaparte held the supreme consul of the republic for a term of 10 years.

At the same time, the Supreme Court was also in session, and more than 400 former members of the Legislative Assembly appeared at the trial.

The arrested generals, the General Secretary of Parliament, Remiza and members of the Republican faction were sent to exile, as were some members of the Order Party.

In addition to Paris, military tribunals were formed in other provinces with the cooperation of senior officials, generals and three judges, and 10,609 people were released, 9,530 were sent to Algeria, 2,804 were imprisoned, and 5,108 were placed under police surveillance.

Afterwards, Victor went into exile in Britain. In his memoirs, Hugo declared that this was Jérôme. Bonaparte's "frenzied revenge" for the injustice of the Republic.

In fact, not many people died in this coup.

The number of coup deaths is even less than the number of people who have died from the flu once.
