Chapter 49： leave britain

In the face of Jerome Bonaparte's sufficient explanation, Persini knew that he could no longer stop the prince he was loyal to.

The stubborn Prince has made up his mind to go to Rome, and no words or difficulties can make him shrink back.

Pesini sighed and said: "Your Highness, in principle, I do not approve of your going to Rome at this time. Since you insist on going to Rome, please be careful. The current Papal State is not as stable as it used to be, it comes from France. Revolutionary frenzy has ignited the entire Apennine region. If His Majesty the Pope is not willing to reform like Sardinia, I am afraid that the entire Papal State will face an unprecedented disaster."

Jerome Bonaparte nodded in agreement. He believed that the wheel of history will not deviate from the historical track with the replacement of the leader of the Bonaparte family. The 19th century chariot under the frenzy of nationalism is grinding its knives and crushing the Papal State.

The Roman Republic was established, and Pius IX fled.

At that time, if I help Pius IX recover his country again as the savior of Christ, and experience the life of displacement again, Pius IX will definitely "forgive" what the Bonaparte family did before.

But before he can act as Christ the Redeemer, he must go to Rome to give Pope Pius IX the greatest confidence.

In fact, Jerome Bonaparte did not go to Rome just to seek the Pope's support. Even if he supported his verbal praise, he shouldered the "important task" of "correcting" the thought of Pius IX.

Before the establishment of the Roman Republic, Pope Pius IX was still a thoughtful and eager to reform the pope. The pope in this period, like the king of Sardinia, shouldered the hope of the entire Apennine peninsula.

However, after the March Revolution, the Pope's "inaction" disappointed many revolutionaries, the Pope and the revolutionaries gradually parted ways, and the conflict was revealed.

After the establishment of the Roman Republic and after Pius IX escaped from the Papal State, his thinking became increasingly radical.

When he returned to the Papal State again, a pope willing to reform disappeared and was replaced by a pope with conservative and radical ideas.

The Pope and the Apennine masses were completely separated at that time, and the French garrison had to guard against radicals while stationed in Rome.

What's worse is that the Pope's thoughts further affected the clerical factions in France, and the clerical factions that went to extremes became the bridgehead of the ultra-conservative forces, which undoubtedly gave a fatal blow to the Bonapartists caught in the middle.

In order to prevent history from repeating itself, Jerome Bonaparte must "correct" the Pope's extreme thoughts.

After all, it is the responsibility of being a "filial son of God" to properly correct the Pope's mistakes.

"Don't worry! I believe in Captain Letty's ability and loyalty!" Jerome Bonaparte patted Pessini on the shoulder and said in relief, "Besides, the contradiction between the Papal States has not really erupted!"

"When do you think they will break out?" Pesini asked curiously.

"It depends on when Venice and Lombardy are conquered by the Austrian Empire!" Jerome Bonaparte responded without hesitation.

In his memory, after the "Italian" coalition led by the Sardinian Dynasty was repelled for the first time, the Papal State, which was unwilling to continue the war, drew back the vanguard troops it had originally dispatched.

The strong national spirit made the revolutionaries want to continue the war, which naturally led to a conflict with the Pope.

The revolution followed.

"Venice and Lombardy conquered? That's impossible!" Persini asked suspiciously: "I read in the newspaper that the Sardinian army had trapped the Austrian army! Now the Austrian Empire is planning negotiations!"

"Negotiations are nothing but a bluff!" Jerome Bonaparte said with a sneer, "They are just using a multi-party approach to buy themselves time to deploy troops! Now Austria The highest military leader of the empire in Lombardy and Venice was the former chief of staff of the Allied Forces, Radetzky, who expected that old fellow to compromise with the Sardinian dynasty! Unless my uncle is resurrected!"

"Huh? But I heard that the Austrian foreign ambassador has discussed..." Pessini still couldn't believe it. It was reasonable for the Austrian Empire to be soft even if the war had reached this point.

After all, the Hungarian and Czech chaos parties in the Austrian Empire have involved a large part of Austria's energy.

"Persini, believe me! The government of the Austrian Empire has only fallen into a temporary schizophrenia. Once a strong man takes the stage, the Austrian Empire will soon return to normal!" Jerome Bonaparte responded confidently.

"Strongman?" Pesini couldn't think of anyone else who could save the messy Austrian Empire from the quagmire.

Jerome Bonaparte doesn't want to worry about the issue between Austria and Italy If we talk about it in detail, I am afraid it will start from the Vienna Conference.

Not only the Italian issue, but the whole turbulent 19th century issue needs to be started from that meeting.

"In short, as long as the Austrian Empire does not counter-offensive, Rome will not be in chaos! Once the Austrian Empire's counter-offensive starts, the suppressed conservatives and revolutionaries in Rome will clash. When that time comes, the revolution will follow." Geraud Tom Bonaparte summed it up.

After Jerome Bonaparte's analysis, Persini finally had confidence in Jerome Bonaparte going to Rome, and out of prudence, he cautiously warned: "Your Highness, you should be more careful. For good!"

"I see! When I arrive in Rome, I will let Letty recruit a few guards!" Jerome Bonaparte casually said.

After speaking, the two walked upstairs together and entered the room where Louis Napoleon's body was kept.

Looking at the embalmed Louis Napoleon, Jerome Bonaparte gave Persini an order to pack the box.

Pesini, who took the order, left the room. He was going to find a sliding coffin for Louis Napoleon's body.

Jerome Bonaparte, who was alone in Louis Napoleon's "mortuary", looked at his cousin with tears in his eyes and said briskly, "Cousin, you can go easily! However, the Bonaparte family's I will fight in the future! The Party of Order, the Republican Party, the Mountain Party... all of them are not fuel-efficient lamps! Leave all your brains to me..."

Jerome Bonaparte rambled on for more than ten minutes, then closed his eyes and gestured with a standard Christian farewell etiquette and whispered, "I hope you are in the spirit of heaven, bless me, and at the same time bless the Bonaparte family!"
