From Jérôme. Lord Caauley, who had received an answer from Bonaparte, left the Tuileries Palace in the face of a sudden cold wind, his body cold, but his heart warm.

Standing in front of the carved window, he watched Lord Cowley fade from sight. Bonaparte, turning away from the window, sat back in his chair and worked on the papers handed to him by the Secretariat.

……

As time passed, the temperature in Paris gradually decreased, and the citizens living in Paris also consciously took off their autumn clothes and changed into slightly thicker clothes, and some Parisian residents began to consciously store firewood in order to survive this winter.

However, including Jérôme. All Parisians, including Bonaparte, did not realize that this winter would come a little earlier than they thought.

By mid-January, a cold snap from Siberia swept across Western Europe, dealing a heavy blow to the citizens of Paris who were not ready for the arrival of General Winter.

Before the whole of Paris got out of the suburbs of Paris, batches of timber have been snapped up by the Parisian middle class (here referring to the lawyers and small bureaucrats in Paris), so that the entire Parisian timber market is in short supply, and the price of each piece of wood is gradually rising with the environment of short supply, thus creating a phenomenon of "wood is more expensive than gold".

Such a vicious price increase event is naturally indispensable to get Jérôme. Bonaparte's concern, in order to ease the relationship between supply and demand, was also to eliminate as much as possible the discontent of the citizens of Paris. Bonaparte specially summoned the Minister of Public Works to his side and ordered the Ministry of Public Works to bring in a batch of timber from the nearby provinces to satisfy Paris, which was gradually falling into a timber panic.

At the same time, Jérôme. Bonaparte also summoned Georges, a high-ranking official in the Seine. Osman, who had given an order to the high-ranking official who had abused the power of the people: to ask George. During this period of time, the high-ranking Ottoman officials tried their best to ensure the survival of some of the vulnerable groups in Paris, and there must be no large-scale deaths in Paris!

George, who was set by the emperor as a KPI indicator. Baron Ottoman gritted his teeth and used the city's budget, which was not very rich, to balance the soaring prices of the timber market.

Thanks to the intervention of the Ministry of Public Works and the Seine provincial government, the timber scare that had been present in Paris has improved somewhat.

However, God seems to be going against Paris, and does not give it any respite.

A snowstorm fell on Paris, known as the heart of France, more than half a month earlier than usual, and the whole of Paris was transformed into a city covered in silver in just one night.

It can be said that General Winter with his harsh means brought Jérôme. Bonaparte's hard-fought and stable price has once again returned to its original shape. Not only did the price of timber continue to soar even more than before, but the price of food in Paris also rose as the panic spread.

These are not the worst cases, the worst is in Paris in this extreme environment, where people freeze to death every day.

Fear will spread throughout Paris like a plague, and the first thing that panicked Parisians think of is the government department, and the careerists and potential republicans lurking in Paris will lead the citizens of Paris to attack the government with unlimited responsibility, just as the Napoleons attacked the government of Orleans.

The contradictions that had been lurking under the water will resurface, and the people of Paris, who have endured the cold, will definitely rush to overthrow the current government.

Whoever damages the lives of the people of Paris will be overthrown by the people of Paris.

The original Orleans dynasty was unable to reach Paris in time because of the food, which made the people of Paris resentful, and the resentment from the grain aroused the citizens' resentment against the political situation of the Orleans dynasty, thus detonating Paris.

Moreover, these conclusions Jérôme. Bonaparte looked through the Agricultural Ministry's list of agricultural prices in the Paris region from 1847 to 1848 and summarized his findings on the causes of the Revolution.

Jérôme, who sensed in advance that public opinion was slipping in a direction unfavorable to his rule. Once again, Bonaparte summoned all the cabinet ministers, except for the Minister of the Sea (who was inspecting the Toulon region), to the Tuileries for a brief meeting.

Stay in the room with burning wood walls in Jerome. Bonaparte began by giving a brief summary of the sudden blizzard and a systematic summary of the situation facing Paris today.

Then he turned to ask the cabinet members who were present what they could do.

The Minister of Public Works spoke at once, first criticizing himself for not being able to deliver the firewood on time, then giving a general account of the main transport routes from Paris to the nearby provinces and along the railway lines, and then to Jérôme. Bonaparte said that due to the impact of the blizzard, there are still a large number of unindustrial jobs in the state construction factories in the city of Paris, and the government can order them to clear the main transportation routes, so as to stabilize Paris.

Later, as the Minister of the Interior, Pessini also said that in the Ministry of the Interior, there is also a part of the labor force that can be used to send them to clear the road.

With the Public Minister and the Minister of the Interior leading the way, the rest of the ministries also understood Jérôme. Bonaparte meant that they had addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte said his subordinate departments also have a workforce that can help dredge.

As a result, a vigorous "Battle for Paris" began, and members of the Ministry of Public Works, the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, the Ministry of Railways, and the Ministry of Justice, under the coordination of the leaders of each department, orderly cleared the snow on the main roads and suburbs.

Eugène, who chaired the Planning Committee. Schneider is also in Jérôme. Bonaparte's suggestion was to convert part of the factories that were originally used for military logistics production into sapper shovels needed for civilian use, so as to ensure the speed of liquidation.

Perhaps inspired by these people, many people began to join the snow clearing team.

Even Jérôme. Bonaparte braved the bitter cold to walk out of the Tuileries Palace and work with the citizens of Paris to clear the snow.

When the citizens of Paris saw Jérôme. When Bonaparte and them hoped to clear the snow, some of the complaints that had been hidden in their hearts disappeared.

Recalling the government's efforts to balance timber prices, the resentment has once again partially disappeared.

Thanks to the joint efforts of both inside and outside Paris, the first batch of timber was delivered to Paris in just two days.

The panic caused by the blizzard is gradually subsiding, and the arrival of the first timber has renewed the market's confidence in the French government, and the price of timber and grain has also decreased.

After this battle, Jérôme. Once again, Bonaparte won the favor of the citizens of Paris, and a part of the centrist began to favor the current system.

In the days that followed, although Paris continued to snow on and off, there was not a single snow that showed the same signs of upsetting the government as the sudden blizzard that had been.

In the early morning of January 24, when the long-lost daylight shrouded the land again, this "defense battle" that lasted for more than a week came to an end.

"We deeply miss the citizens who died in the 117 blizzard, and we also express our ......gratitude to all the citizens who participated in this "Blizzard Defense Battle". Osman gave a concluding speech at the gates of the city hall on January 24.

Although the cold has not gone far and the temperature in Paris is still below freezing, the citizens of Paris still stick around the town hall and listen to the mayor of Paris. Osman's statement.

At the end of his speech, George. There was a round of applause around the city hall centered on Ottoman.

……

The severe cold caused not only a shortage of living materials in Paris, but also military supplies to the Ottoman Empire.

Before the snow along the railway line is completely cleared, Jérôme. Bonaparte was only able to transfer a part of the order originally allocated to the company of North Industries in Paris to Eugène of Leclezzo. Schneider.

Accept the transfer of orders from Eugène. Schneider has also begun to operate at overload.

It was in such a difficult situation that the troops of Britain, which were allies, began to behave in a demonic manner.

When Valewski sent a telegram to Jérôme via Constantinople. The position of the army of the Kingdom of Bonaparte at the time of the enraged Jérôme. Bonaparte called Lord Cowley directly in front of him and pointed to the map of the Near East and questioned Lord Cowley.

"Lord Cowley, could you please tell me where the British army is now?"

"Your Majesty, the first goal of the Kingdom of Britain is not to fight a decisive battle with Russia, but to protect the Ottoman Empire from the Russian Empire!" Lord Cowley replied slowly, to Jérôme Bonaparte: "We think Gallipoli is the best place to defend!" ”

It turned out that almost 3 months have passed since the Kingdom of Britain threatened the Russian Empire with war.

During these three months, Britain spent two months recruiting soldiers, to electing commanders, and then to electing officers, and the remaining month was spent all discussing how to prepare soldiers and transport them to the Ottoman Empire, with little time at all to survey the terrain.

And Gallipoli is what they think is the best place to defend.

"Lord Cowley, please tell me! The British army should get the strategic resources it needs from this place where birds don't! "Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Lord Cauley.

"What?" Lord Cowley looked confused at Jérôme. Bonaparte replied, as if he had known about it for the first time.

"I mean the Kingdom of Britain, how can we find supplies in an area where there is only one dirt road running through the island! There is not a single household in this area that can provide us with daily necessities! Our fleet will not be able to build an effective supply here either! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said word for word to Lord Cowley
