Chapter 40: come to an agreement

Thiers was obviously lost in thought by Eugène Rouet's question.

The Party of Order does have the need and the ability to support a military leader, but who can guarantee that those warriors will not have undeserved ambitions like Napoleon of the year, who was also recognized as the son of the revolution before usurping the throne. At first, he just wanted to have a place in Paris, and now he is only one step away from the center of power.

"A leader who is capable and determined, and who is also supported by the army, may not necessarily obey the orders of the National Assembly!" Roue said while the iron was hot.

"Your power in the army is not small!" Thiers retorted with a cold snort: "Which of the generals entrenched in France was not the one who followed the emperor to fight in the east and west, they were infinite to the emperor. Reverence!"

More than 30 years is not enough time to replace a generation. As Thiers said, the officers who started with the emperor in those days have now grown into generals.

Rouet was the one who saw Bonaparte's potential in the French army before he resolutely joined Bonaparte. The key to the existence of a regime lies in the stability of the regime and the attitude of the army. As long as the army does not object, then This regime can go and exist.

In the presence of Thiers, Rouet could only play down Bonaparte's influence on the army, he said to Thiers in an exaggerated Parisian accent: "Mr. Thiers, does our army have loyalty? The emperor is destroyed, they can take refuge in the Bourbons with peace of mind! The republic is coming, and they leave the Bourbons and turn to the republic! Loyalty is worthless to them, they only care if they can get enough from the rebellion Interests!"

Thiers also felt the same in his heart. The French army only cared about its own pockets.

In other words, whoever can lead them out to rob, they will obey their orders.

If they can't lead them on an expedition, they will abandon the regime without hesitation.

That's why Louis Philippe failed. At the beginning, he wanted to learn from that His Majesty who led the army to loot, but unfortunately it fell short.

[In 1840, he was forced to resign on October 29, 1840 due to the intervention of Britain, Russia, Prussia and Austria due to his tough attitude in supporting Muhammad Ali against Turkey. 】

"Perhaps what you said makes sense!" Thiers' hands trembled slightly because of his emotions, and his tone became more serious: "Then what are your interests?"

"Mr. Thiers!" Rouet's expression also became serious, he knew that it was a critical moment of confrontation: "I heard that after you left office, you urged the construction of the "Tier" city wall, it was really a Great project!"

[Wall of Thiers, in order to appease the frustrated Thiers, Louis Philippe handed over the task of building the city wall of Paris to Thiers with full supervision. The task took three years and faced a huge amount of deficit and corruption in the middle. Question, Louis Philippe did not ask. It is generally believed that Thiers was involved in corruption and fraud in this city wall issue, creating a deficit. 】

Thiers instantly understood the purpose of the greedy Bonapartist Eugène Rouet.

Four years is enough for them to spend a long time.

Thiers was not afraid of corruption by these Bonapartists, but he was afraid that these fellows were not corrupt.

Guys who are not corrupt tend to seek bigger things.

What a bunch of greedy guys!

Thiers secretly scorned in his heart, but still said, "Of course, that was the project I personally supervised!"

"We also imagine Mr. Thiers supervising a project that can benefit the whole of France!" Rouet said with a face full of greed: "Everything is for France!"

"Yes! Everything is for France!" Thiers also showed a sly smile, in his heart the threat of Bonapartists had been minimized.

"Besides, M. Thiers! Our leader is only 26 years old, and he doesn't have enough prestige in France! He must rely on good politicians like you to check!" Eugène Rouet continued to draw the cake Seduce Thiers.

"Don't you (the Bonapartists) have any complaints?" Thiers retorted.

"We (the Bonapartists) will merge with you (the Party of Order)!" said Rouet to Thiers.

"On behalf of our Party of Order, I welcome you to join us!" Thiers was very moved by Rouet's pie. Jerome Bonaparte's age and qualifications became his shortcomings and his strengths.

"Then, our proposal..." Roue asked Thiers with a smile on his face.

"We will try our best to promote the return of Prince Louis Napoleon. You will need yourselves for the rest of the election. I believe you will be able to do it!"

Thiers made the most regrettable decision of his life.



May 8, 1848.

The "petition" action of the Chartist movement lasted for 3 days.

During these three days, the British government turned its tolerant attitude towards the Charterists and attacked the Charterists.

Hundreds of Chartist "leaders" and "workers" were arrested, and small and medium-sized leftist newspapers were banned.

The Polaris, the largest of the left-wing newspapers, also received a stern warning from the United Kingdom government.

But the "Polaris" can ignore this, even if they have been verbally warned, they still continue to criticize the United Kingdom government.

Sandy-mapped articles headlined Bonapartism appeared in the Polaris, among other left-wing newspapers.

Louis Bonaparte was for a time known to the workers and gentlemen all over London and the counties around London.

Some guys who knew Louis Napoleon also ate human blood buns, and they also advertised Louis Napoleon's "great achievements" in the United Kingdom, as if Louis Napoleon was born to save the United Kingdom.

It's just that when they preached "great achievements", they didn't forget to bring themselves.

There are even some guys with ulterior motives demonstrating in the United Kingdom with the slogan "We want our Polons!"

Jerome Bonaparte hoped that the public opinion offensive of "The Times" was completed by accident in the hands of "Polaris".

Even Jerome Bonaparte, who was in the detention center, couldn't help but sigh after hearing the news.

I still underestimated the power of left-wing newspapers.

The United Kingdom government had to think about eliminating the sudden rise in the United Kingdom's reverence for "Bonaparte" and what to do with Jerome Bonaparte, who was imprisoned in the London Metropolitan Police District.
