Chapter 949: The National Flag Wrapped in a Bayonet
"That's unfortunate!"
Björth said perfunctorily that he did not care about the injuries of ordinary soldiers, only about Jérôme. Bonaparte was not injured, "The dead soldier will be compensated by the Ministry of War, as long as you are safe and sound!" ”
Subsequently, Björn asked Jérôme about it. Bonaparte said that the assassin who assassinated him had not been caught.
"Pesini just came to tell me that the assassin has been caught red-handed by the Ministry of the Interior, and is now being held in the prison of the Ministry of the Interior, awaiting the next interrogation!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said in a calm tone to Bjós.
"Be sure to interrogate it well!" Björth pretended to be incompatible, gritted his teeth and said, "Those damn assassins must have a cabal behind them!"
They are constantly trying to undermine the stability and unity of the great French Empire! ”
"Björ, you're right!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded, and then said categorically: "I think that this cabal not only has people at home, but also colludes with other forces abroad!"
In a vain attempt to subvert the established order of the whole of Europe, we must uproot this cabal! ”
For Jérôme. Bonaparte spoke of a transnational cabal, but Björth didn't believe it in his heart.
However, due to Jérôme. Bonaparte's identity, Björth had no choice but to echo it, "Your Majesty, you are right! Only by uprooting this cancer that is deep in the ground can we truly do all evil! ”
"Speaker Bjyo!" Jérôme. Bonaparte then said, "In that case, you, the President of the Legislative Council, will act on behalf of the Legislative Council as one of the members of this investigation into the assassination!" In that case, you can also report to the deputies of the Legislative Council at any time! ”
The Legislative Council, as the nominal supreme organ of the French Empire, represents the will of the whole of France.
Once it made a decision, even Jérôme, as emperor. Nor could Bonaparte disobey his will (and this is only in name).
The deputies sitting in the Legislative Corps, each of them were chosen by countless French voters.
Although it has now been suppressed by the executive power, the legislative corps legally holds more constitutional ruling power than the executive power.
However, the vast majority of the deputies in the Legislative Council are now officially selected representatives, and they are the natural allies of the Imperial Government.
Therefore, the judicial power of the Legislative Council remains in Jérôme. In the hands of Bonaparte.
Historically, Napoleon III was unanimously disgusted by both Catholics and conservatives in the country for watching the territory of the Papal States be annexed.
In order to maintain a balance, he counted the republicans and left-wing members who had been exiled from the republican group.
Trying to maintain the balance with the help of the republicans, who knew that this move gave the republicans an excuse to grow, and the republicans quickly defeated the official candidates of several districts of Paris and became the voters of the Paris region.
If it weren't for the fact that Paris was divided into several parts by Napoleon III, and the rural population of the periphery was predominant, Paris would have fallen altogether.
The republicans and left-wing deputies who had entered the legislature used their constitutional powers to frantically veto all of Napoleon III's experiences, making it impossible to pass all the proposals of the latter part of the Second Empire.
It was in the last two years that the Second Reich was forced to transform into liberal imperialism.
The topic is far away, Jérôme. The reason why Bonaparte asked Björth to participate was mainly to teach Sardinia a famous teacher.
There is also the demonstration to the republican members of the Legislative Council through Björ, so that these republicans who have defeated the official representatives will be honest.
Otherwise, he would have to consider a second wave of expulsion of the republicans.
And the reasons for expelling the republicans this time are obviously more sufficient than the reasons for the expulsion of the republicans for the first time.
"Yes! Your Majesty! "Speaker Björth also vaguely guessed Jérôme. Bonaparte's intentions, he replied at once.
"The specific investigation will be handed over to Pessini, you only need to hand over the materials for investigation and evidence collection to the council!" Jérôme. Bonaparte added.
Björn nodded in understanding.
Immediately afterwards, Jérôme. Bonaparte and Björth again chatted about the current situation in France.
Jérôme. Bonaparte tentatively asked Björth if he wanted to impose a certain level of martial law on Paris.
After hearing this, Bijou hurriedly replied that there was no need for martial law, and it was enough to send additional police to patrol strictly.
After Björth left, Augusta, who had not spoken for a long time, spoke to Jérôme. Bonaparte said: "Jérôme, I think Paris needs to be controlled by the army now!" ”
Hearing Augusta's horrified remarks, Jérôme. Bonaparte was also taken aback, and he hurriedly asked, "Augusta, how can you have such an idea!" ”
"The Ministry of the Interior, the city government, and the National Intelligence Agency, which you have carefully assembled, have not played any role in this assassination at all!" Augusta said with a slightly aggressive attitude, "If any of them had worked, it wouldn't have caused you such a fate!"
Only the army can be trusted! ”
"Augusta!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said in a firm tone: "If you think so, it is good!
Not to mention that it is difficult for everyone to accurately control the population of the entire Paris, let's just say that the army is trustworthy is negotiable! ”
"Didn't all the generals under your command be single-handedly drawn by you?" Augusta vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte said.
"They are indeed my hand-picks!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded, and then changed the conversation, "But it doesn't mean that they don't have their own little abacus, aren't all my uncle's generals raised by him!"
As a result, at a critical moment, they all chose to turn their backs on him. Lose your faith with the Holy Alliance!
The army is a thing that will only be on your side when you have the upper hand.
As soon as you lose your advantage, it will inevitably give you a hard bite. ”
Although the Second Reich was built with a bayonet and a flag, this does not mean that Jérôme. Bonaparte wanted to completely throw away the flag and rule the country with a bayonet.
The flag covered with a bayonet was an indispensable thing, and only then could he use the will of the whole people to suppress the careerists who were on the move below.
If the fig leaf of the will of the whole people is lost, then the progressive nature of the empire will be lost.
At that time, the Paris Platinum Lord, who has lived in London for 9 years, and the Count of Chambord, who has lived in Austria for 27 years, will seize the opportunity to carry out a wave of publicity.
Jérôme. Bonaparte's situation would have become extremely passive.
"That'...... Then there will be no martial law! Augusta heard Jérôme. After Bonaparte's explanation, he also abandoned the idea of martial law, "However, more police must be dispatched!"
And in the near future, you don't want to walk out of the Du Yin Leri Palace like before! ”
"Okay! I listen to you! "Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded in reply.
The show ended at 10 p.m., and the Imperial dignitaries were already standing in two rows outside the room, waiting for Jérôme. Bonaparte and Augusta came out of the box, wanting to see for themselves whether the Emperor was injured.
After a while, the door to the box opened, and Jérôme. Bonaparte and Augusta stood in front of everyone.
"Hmmm! You're all here! "Jérôme. Bonaparte looked at the imperial officials with nervous expressions in front of him, and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty!" The Imperial Legions spoke in unison to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.
"Since you're all here, walk with me and Empress Augusta!" Jérôme. Bonaparte continued.
Jérôme. Bonaparte and Augusta were at the head of the procession, and the Imperial Masters followed closely behind the two Majestics.
By the time the couple walked out of the Paris Opera House, the streets had been covered with blood, and the bodies of the loyalists had already been dragged elsewhere.
At this moment, on both sides of the street, the police cordon is full of people, and the houses on both sides are also standing waiting for Jérôme. The crowd of Bonapartes came out.
Jérôme. Bonaparte looked at the crowd in front of him and whispered to Empress Augusta beside him: "Look how much the people of Paris care about you!" You even want to suppress them! ”
"Humph!" Augusta snorted, a smile on his lips.
Immediately afterwards, Jérôme. Bonaparte said to the crowd, "Citizens of Paris, thank you for caring so much for my safety and that of the Empress!"
Now I can tell you out loud that the Empress and I did not suffer any damage in this sudden assassination!
Sadly, however, this assassination cost me three loyal soldiers, and three pairs of parents in France lost their own children!
Here, I hope that all of you here will join me in observing a moment of silence for those parents who have lost their children! ”
The whole street was silent, and everyone seemed to be in silent mourning.
After a minute, Jérôme. Bonaparte spoke again to all who were present, "I said this morning that a monarch is not afraid of any assassination...... Any assassin and his party will be spurned by everyone!
Now, I'm going to make good on my promise!
I don't care who is behind this assassination, which organization or country is behind the assassination, there will be absolutely no appeasement!
I will expose all their deeds and judge them by all the citizens of France! ”
Jérôme. As soon as Bonaparte finished speaking, the streets on both sides burst into applause.
After the applause was over, Jérôme. Bonaparte continued: "Of course, we will not wrong anyone with a good heart!"
Whether it's a monarchy, a republican, or a socialist! ”
