Make France Great Again

Odilon Barrow, who was constrained by the dissolution of the Constitutional Committee, was stunned again.

There is a saying that if you want to destroy it, you must first make it crazy.

This time, Prime Minister Barrow of "The Return of the King" not only disbanded the republican armed rangers, but also put forward the two evil policies of "restoring the salt tax" and "restoring the wine tax" in one breath.

France's tax revenue increased by 100 million francs because of the two major evils, but with the help of some "conscientious people", Odilon Barrow is already notorious.

The peasants near the Seine may not know Odilon Barrow, but when the name Odilon Barrow is mentioned, they want to chomp on their flesh and drink their blood.

The Republicans and the Mountain Party, who were powerless to resist, could only choose to slap the table in the National Assembly to protest to show their dissatisfaction, but in the eyes of the Party of Order, their protests were just flies buzzing in their ears, and there was no threat at all.

This is not over yet, as Odilon Barrow's loyal son-in-law Leon Fushi once again dealt a fatal blow to the Republican faction in the parliament.

On January 31, Leon Foch published a bill on the right of association in the National Assembly. The first article of the bill is to dissolve assembly activities such as "clubs" and "cafes".

If the Rangers are the guns of the republican faction, then the "club" is the lifeblood of the republican faction.

The famous banquet movement in 1847 started from the "club" and spread to the whole of France.

Although the republicans in the National Assembly were fiercely opposed to the bill formulated by Leon Fouche, how could they beat the Party of Order when they were soft-spoken.

With the help of the Party of Order, the Right of Association Act was implemented, and all assemblies in Paris except the Party of Order and the Bonapartists (Elysées) were dissolved.

The time for the Republicans and Mountains to be swept out of the National Assembly is just around the corner.

Odilon Barrow, who swept away the opposition to the Party of Order in the National Assembly, began his ruling career.

Jerome Bonaparte, who acted as the shopkeeper, was also not idle either. Odilon Barrot and Thiers focused on the cabinet and gave Jerome Bonaparte the opportunity to get involved in the army.

Jerome Bonaparte, who wanted to strengthen ties with the military, immediately set up a military department. This department attached to the secretary's office mainly received letters from the military to the president.

Jerome Bonaparte also stipulated that every letter must be checked and replied by himself. Even if it was a letter written to him by an ordinary soldier, Jerome Bonaparte also replied to them seriously, without any pretense. other people's income.

Over time, the news of the emperor's nephew's personal reply spread to the ears of all the soldiers stationed near Paris.

The high-ranking soldiers and middle-ranking officers who were also eager to receive letters from the emperor's nephew wrote letters to the Military Administration, and were looking forward to a letter from Jerome Bonaparte.

The Military Administration receives nearly 100 such letters every day. Jerome Bonaparte read them one by one and replied to them. For a time, the light in the study of the Elysée Palace was on all night. The exhausted Jerome Bonaparte even fell asleep on his desk.

Persini also tried to write letters on behalf of Jerome Bonaparte, but he refused. He was convinced that only in this way could he be known to the Parisian army and thus win the hearts of the troops stationed in the suburbs of Paris.

Jerome Bonaparte also gave some Napoleon gold coins when he saw some complaint envelopes.

The hard work paid off. Jerome Bonaparte's day-to-day replies and warm greetings paid off, and the army began to regard Jerome Bonaparte as "our highness".

Many of the new generation of officers (officers at the school level) stationed in the corps in the suburbs of Paris expressed a desire to get close to Jerome Bonaparte, who also often invited these officers to the Elysees. Palace as a guest.

Every Sunday night, the Elysee Palace becomes a gathering place for the school-level officers.

Jerome Bonaparte in Lev's dress became the focus of the audience. The officers who were staggered in the cups affectionately called Jerome Bonaparte "Your Majesty", and Jerome Bonaparte also called him The officers present were "future generals".

The atmosphere of the banquet turned from the phrase "Long live the Empire, Long live Bonaparte!" to a climax, and all the officers' eyes flashed with a flame called ambition.

Jerome Bonaparte can be sure that their ambitions can be used for their own use, of course, the premise of all this is to give these babes a feeling that they can win, otherwise these rude but shrewd hooligans will not be able to. Willing to follow myself.

Qiu Ba, who has experienced three dynasties, has accumulated the skills of a chameleon.

One by one, these "young warriors" officers came to Jerome Bonaparte to toast to Jerome Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte suddenly remembered the wise saying of some dear friend that military culture is winery culture.

You can't back down in front of this group of Qiu Ba!

Jerome Bonaparte could only drink one cup after another, and he quickly drank the whole bottle of brandy.

Just when Jerome Bonaparte was half-drunk, a middle-aged man with strong Confucian strength, but slightly bald, appeared in front of Jerome Bonaparte. The wine glass said respectfully: "Long live the empire!"

Compared to Qiu Ba, who had a hint of arrogance just now, the guy in front of him was a little more respectful.

Jerome Bonaparte asked curiously, "Can you tell me your name conveniently?"

The middle-aged man with bald curly hair straightened his back instantly, and the iron blood of a soldier showed on his body: "This subordinate is François Certain Canrobert, the current Colonel of the Zhuav regiment!"

Conrobel, Colonel, Zhuav regiment.

Three key pieces of information instantly awakened Jerome Bonaparte's memory. The guy in front of him was not the one he was "looking for".

In history, after the fall of the empire, Canrobert still carried the banner of Bonaparte and worked hard for the restoration work in France.

Although it was said that he failed to restore it in the end, his loyalty was indeed unmatched by other Bonapartists.

Of course, subordinates who are both loyal and capable must earn income as soon as possible.

"Colonel Conrobert!" Jerome Bonaparte showed a kind smile and asked in a kind tone: "I remember that the Zhuav regiment was in North Africa, why are you here?"

"This subordinate is here for the award!" Conrobert still showed a respectful attitude, just like Bonaparte's potential reserve team.

"It's good to be awarded! It's good to be awarded!" Jerome Bonaparte encouraged: "France just needs a general like you who can fight and win wars!"

"You are overrated!" Conrobel replied flattered.

"When will you be awarded!" Jerome Bonaparte continued.

"tomorrow!"
