Make France Great Again
Chapter 21: The Times (below)
Ebel scrutinized the article in front of him with a critical eye.
As one of Louis Napoleon's friends, Ebel felt sorry for Louis Napoleon's departure, so he had to guard the name behind Louis Napoleon.
“…Today a disciple of Saint-Simonianism, a senior republican, a prince has left us…his arrival, though like a shooting star across the sky, brought a new Beginning! Just like Emperor Napoleon decades ago... History has proved that Prince Louis Napoleon's judgment on the July Dynasty is undoubtedly correct, and the sword of Austerlitz is undoubtedly a disaster in the hands of the Orleans government... Louis Napoleon once said that the sovereignty of the people means establishing the principle of equal rights for the people and the establishment of democratic organizations by merit, so that in the new social hierarchy, everyone has his own status, rights and responsibilities..." Ebel wrote the entire manuscript from He glanced up and down quickly.
[The sword of Austerlitz is the sword of Emperor Napoleon. When the dynasty welcomed back the body of Emperor Napoleon in July 1840, the sword was given to Louis Philip as a trophy. This refers to the French regime. 】
The whole article from top to bottom, in addition to expressing the praise of Napoleon and Napoleon III, also described Louis Napoleon as a republican who, although he was in the noble class, did not forget to worry about the country and the people and turned to the republic. Seeking happiness, but also expounding the political philosophy of Louis Napoleon. And, of course, regret for the inaction of the United Kingdom Government during the economic crisis.
"His Royal Highness!" Ebel put down the manuscript, turned his eyes to Jerome and said with emotion: "Your writing skills and attainments are not inferior to Prince Louis at all."
"But..." Ebel changed the conversation and said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid it's hard to get the chance to publish this article!"
"Why?" Pesini was stunned for a moment, and then retorted: "Didn't The Times claim to have nothing to report?"
Abel spread his hands and responded helplessly: "Mr. Count, the situation is different now, and The Times also needs to be subject to the above constraints."
Jerome Bonaparte instantly understood what Ebel meant. A newspaper with a circulation of 30,000 copies, like The Times, could not fail to receive attention from the United Kingdom government.
A newspaper circulation of 30,000 is equivalent to 30,000 of the loyalists of the middle class who, together, can influence decision-making across the United Kingdom.
Not to mention that The Times has a loyal French readership overseas.
At the juncture of the European revolution in 1848, even the so-called democratic and free United Kingdom had to conduct limited censorship to ensure that some influential newspapers would not publish inflammatory articles or do some harm by manipulating public opinion. United Kingdom thing. .
Of course, except for the "Polaris" newspaper, which is favored by the British charterists, will not stop their calls because of the censorship uniform of the United Kingdom, and the United Kingdom also dare not shut them down without any reason, otherwise the British His freedom has become an empty talk.
"Of course we will not embarrass your newspaper!" Jerome Bonaparte said politely to Ebel: "Mr. Ebel, please allow me to talk to your editor-in-chief!"
Seeing Jérôme Bonaparte's confident appearance, Ebel had to introduce him into the office of the editor-in-chief in charge of the review on the second floor of the Times Building.
The arrival of Pessini surprised the editor-in-chief of the audit. After hearing the news of the death of Louis Bonaparte, the editor-in-chief of the audit also showed a regretful expression: "God loves Prince Louis so much that he made him early. into heaven!"
"Look at this!" Ebel handed over the manuscript of "From Bonaparte to Bonaparte, on the Life of Louis Bonaparte" to the chief reviewing editor.
After the review editor who got the manuscript carefully reviewed the content of the manuscript, he put down the manuscript and shook his head: "Sorry, The Times cannot publish such manuscripts now!"
Ebel gave Jerome Bonaparte and Pessini a "look at me and know" look.
"Didn't The Times establish its influence in the United Kingdom with freedom of speech and the courage to speak the truth! When did it become the voice of the United Kingdom government!" Jerome Bonaparte sneered: "Or is The Times about to become the official lackey of the United Kingdom again?"
"His Royal Highness!" The editor-in-chief of the censor clearly heard Jerome Bonaparte's innuendo: "We are very helpless in this situation. During this time, the government has repeatedly asked us not to publish some articles on politics!"
"Sir, this is just an article describing the life of Prince Louis!" Jerome Bonaparte secretly changed the concept: "I just made my cousin's political ideas and ideas known to the world, the wave of democracy and freedom. The thought of Nabas should not be carried silently to the grave."
"Your Majesty~www.readwn.com~ As you can see, this has already involved politics!" The editor-in-chief of the review got up and went to the desk, took out an opened pack of cigarettes from the desk, lit it with flint, and white smoke came out of the cigarette The ignition point of the cigarette floated in the whole office, and the spicy shredded tobacco made the editor-in-chief coughed twice.
"What if this article has been acquiesced by the government of the United Kingdom?" Jerome Bonaparte said again.
"Wh...cough...cough" Before the editor-in-chief could finish speaking, the spicy smell poured into the editor-in-chief's nose, causing him to cough twice.
"I mean what if this article was approved by the United Kingdom government?" Jerome repeated what he just said.
"Mr. Prince, I don't think the government would go to great lengths to deliberately censor it!" The editor-in-chief of the censorship was obviously unwilling to believe it.
By the way, Persini understood why Jerome Bonaparte was riding in the royal carriage, and he immediately said to him, "Sir, I'm afraid you don't know who sent us here just now!"
"Who?" The editor-in-chief was puzzled.
"Mr. John Brown!" Pesini believed that as the editor-in-chief of The Times, it was impossible not to know the royal housekeeper.
"Are you guys..." The editor-in-chief of the review seemed to have made up a lot of indescribable py transactions.
"Sir, I advise you not to get involved in politics!" Jerome Bonaparte reminded.
"I understand! I understand!" The editor-in-chief showed an understanding expression and assured Jerome Bonaparte that the article would be published on the front page of the newspaper.
Jerome Bonaparte, courtesy of the editor-in-chief and Ebel, left the Times Building with Pessini.
