Make France Great Again

Jerome Bonaparte knew that Victor Hugo was obviously talking about some private agreements he had made with the Party of Order.

Obviously you asked me to meet you, but now I start to shirk!

Jerome Bonaparte sneered inwardly, and with a smile on his face, he complimented: "You are more powerful than one party combined! There are not many people in Paris who haven't read the book you wrote!"

Jerome Bonaparte added again in his heart: "Those who haven't seen it have already been expelled!"

Victor Hugo still didn't speak, he quietly watched Jerome Bonaparte's one-man show.

"Everyone knows that you are a humanist, a great writer, who cares about the suffering of the people, and maintains order and freedom!" Jerome Bonaparte put all the beautiful words in Victor Hugo on the body, and then extended to himself and said: "We are all the same, this is also from the concept of the Republic!"

"This is your claim to them (the Party of Order)?" Victor Hugo said in a flat tone.

"No... these words, I only tell you!" Jerome Bonaparte emphasized: "The royalists don't care about the suffering of the people at all, they only care about themselves. Although I don't like them, but I will be loyal to this regime!"

Jerome Bonaparte's attitude of "I don't like them, but I respect the Constitution" made Victor Hugo feel good.

"I have seen your cousin Louis Napoleon's "The Elimination of Poverty", and I was deeply moved!" Victor Hugo paused and then said, "I want to ask your opinion!"

"My cousin's "Eradication of Poverty", I feel the same as you!" Jerome Bonaparte said calmly: "The strength of a country depends on the country's education, and public education is a must What is indispensable, the state needs a strong department to safeguard the rights of French children to free public education, and the state must also come up with a plan to optimize the redistribution of industrial wealth, so that the poor in the whole country cannot be made poorer and the rich richer. The Republic should take on more responsibilities and obligations so that the unemployed can support themselves, instead of letting them linger in the state workshop and be kicked away in the end!"

Jerome Bonaparte's straight ball insulting the government bureaucrats of the Second Republic did not make Victor Hugo angry, but made him more agree with Jerome Bonaparte.

Victor Hugo nodded in satisfaction, but still did not respond.

"Mr. Hugo, only I can defeat Cavaignac! If an executioner covered in the blood of the people becomes the first president of the French Republic, that would be the greatest insult to the Republic!" Jerome Bonaparte pressed step by step. said.

Victor Hugo recalled that rainy night again. Walking in the streets, he looked at the injured and fallen workers, but there was nothing he could do. He was so powerless and hopeless.

"Half the Republic killed the other half!" Victor Hugo closed his eyes and muttered to himself.

Although Jerome Bonaparte had guessed Victor Hugo's response, he still quietly waited for Victor Hugo's final answer.

Victor Hugo opened his eyes and said unswervingly, "I will support you to become president!"

"Thank you! Thank you very much! Trust me, your choice will never be wrong!" Jerome Bonaparte said, holding Victor Hugo's hand.

Jerome Bonaparte, who received the support of Victor Hugo, obviously did not intend to stay at Hugo's house. After chatting with Victor Hugo about the next works, Jerome Bonaparte Nabas and Eugène Ruby left Hugo's house.

Jerome Bonaparte and Eugène Rouet, who were returning to the Rhine Hotel by carriage from Place des Vosges, had just entered the door of the hotel when they were informed by the hotel owner that someone was waiting for him on the second floor.

Who will come to me at this time?

Jerome Bonaparte murmured in his heart, and he went up to the second floor with Eugène Rouet.

At this moment, Fleury appeared at the entrance of the stairs.

"Your Majesty!" Fleury whispered after being stunned for a second.

"Fleury, who is the person inside?" Jerome Bonaparte pointed to the half-closed room and asked.

"Your Majesty, I heard him say that he is a count. It seems that his name is Fallou." Fleury responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

"It's him!" Eugene Rouet blurted out.

"Huh?" Jerome Bonaparte looked at Eugène Rouet.

Eugène Rouet told Jerome Bonaparte about Fallou's "great achievements", one of which was the dissolution of the national workshop.

"The Count of Fallou has a deep connection with Catholicism, so..." Eugène Rouet looked at Jerome Bonaparte.

"Has the Pope's gospel arrived?" Jerome Bonaparte murmured.

Under the leadership of Fleury, Jerome Bonaparte came alone to the temporary place where Count Fallou was received.

"His Royal Highness!" Fallou saluted Jerome Bonaparte earnestly, with a standard that resembled that of a master of etiquette trained by the classical court.

"Count Fallou!" Jerome Bonaparte, who had not received etiquette training, could only bow slightly in return to Count Fallou.

Count Fallou didn't seem to care whether Jerome Bonaparte's actions were standard or not. He said straight to the point: "His Royal Highness, I have received His Majesty's Gospel! He hopes that we can support it. you!"

"If the church can support me, let me be President Franco! I will be grateful!" Jerome Bonaparte responded without being humble or arrogant.

"His Royal Highness, you should know! The Gospel of the Pope is just an inclination for us. The key is what you can bring me!" Count Fallo talked about the most secular interests with a pious expression on his face. This sense of contrast Just like a clown.

"As far as I know, since the July Dynasty, the church's ability to control secular schools has further declined. Even if Mr. Guizot introduced his education law, it would only allow the church to intervene to a certain extent!" Jerome Bona Ba said to Fallu.

"Your Excellency, what do you want to say?" Count Fallo said with a calm expression.

"If the church is willing to support me, I am willing to hand over the entire field of education to the church, and the priest can supervise education!" Jerome Bonaparte set out his own conditions.

Count Fallou's expression changed slightly, but he remained generally calm and said, "I think Cavaignac is also willing!"

"No! He doesn't want it!" Jerome Bonaparte responded decisively: "You underestimate our Mr. Dicketeau, he is a complete extremist republican! The church is investigating the matter of education. , he will definitely not agree!"

Count Fallou was silent. According to what he knew about Cavaignac, Cavaignac would not give such generous conditions as Jerome Bonaparte as Jerome Bonaparte said.

"I will bring your conditions, Prince, to the church!"

Fallou and Jérôme Bonaparte chatted again about Paris and left in a hurry.
