Chapter 76： Paris Rhein

While the sudden attack of the Party of Order made Jerome Bonaparte somewhat unexpected, it also sounded a wake-up call in Jerome Bonaparte's heart.

Sometimes blindly believing in the "established facts" of history is not a long-term solution. In the final analysis, the process of history is only driven by people, and any small change will make a person's thinking change drastically.

My own struggle against the Party of Order and against those who opposed the establishment of Bonaparte's empire was inevitable, but this struggle could only take place after Jerome Bonaparte became president.

Now what he has to do is to rush to Paris as soon as possible to deploy many matters related to the election, and at the same time show weakness to Thiers and others.

Appropriately showing weakness will make the opponent feel contemptuous, and you can take advantage of the opponent's contempt to make arrangements calmly.

Jerome Bonaparte, who wanted to know where to play the next few steps, wanted to grow two wings and set off for Paris. Unfortunately, the steam train has been in use for less than 30 years, and the Paris-Lyon train route has not been opened. In the short period of 8 years, there has not been a night-time passenger train.

Jerome Bonaparte had no choice but to wait patiently for the next day.

The night was getting deeper, and Jerome Bonaparte, who had extinguished the kerosene lamp, curled up on the bed in a side-lying position.

Excited in his heart, as long as he closes his eyes, he will recall the past bits and pieces. The memories of the 19th century and the 21st century are intertwined in Jerome Bonaparte's mind, making Jerome Bonaparte unable to fall asleep easily .

The words "Propaganda Slogan" appeared suddenly in Jerome Bonaparte's mind.

"What kind of propaganda slogan should I use!" Jerome Bonaparte opened his eyes and muttered. In his mind, the campaign slogans of the American presidents from across the ocean appeared in his mind.

Unemployment, bankruptcy, political instability... The general signs of France are not irrelevant, but identical to the Americas of the 1930s. Jerome Bonaparte couldn't help but think of the slogan of Roosevelt Jr., one of the Yalta Big Three, when he was campaigning.

Maybe I can use it! However, something needs to be added at the back.

Jerome Bonaparte could no longer hold back his exuberant inspiration, fearing that his inspiration would disappear without a trace the next day, he got up and lit the kerosene lamp again with flint.

The kerosene lamp illuminated the whole room again. Jerome Bonaparte sat at the desk and took out a pen and paper. After thinking for a long time, he wrote the campaign slogan in French.

Immediately, he opened the paper on which the campaign slogan was written and pointed it at the kerosene lamp. Under the yellow light of the kerosene lamp, the whole piece of paper also appeared yellow. Looking at the campaign slogan in his hand, Jerome Bonaparte was satisfied. nodded.

Immediately, he folded the paper and put it in his pocket, and the kerosene lamp was blown out again.

This time, Jerome Bonaparte can sleep peacefully.

Early the next morning, when the first ray of morning light shot like an arrow to this ancient city, which has been passed down for thousands of years, the proletariat living in the ancient city of Lyon has already started its day of work.

The workers who worked nearly 14 hours a day were woken up by the sound of roosters at around 4 am. They dragged their heavy and listless steps and wiped their dusty faces with water at will. start working.

A group of people also appeared at the railway station in the north of Lyon. They were waiting for the train at the railway station, which was too simple to be simple.

The usual nostriled train dispatcher and the police officer in charge of protecting the railways also showed flattering smiles to greet the leader of the group, Jerome Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte, who was anxiously waiting for the train at the train station, didn't want to have a meaningless conversation. After a few perfunctory sentences, he issued an order to evict the passengers.

The two, who knew that they were not good enough, could only leave in despair.

Before leaving, they still wore flattering smiles to Jerome Bonaparte and said that they could be called at any time if needed.

Looking at the background of the two of them leaving, Jerome Bonaparte shook his head gently and said with emotion: "If I were not named Bonaparte, maybe my life would be like theirs, and my life would be one for a living. And the one who keeps compromising!"

None of the people present took Jerome Bonaparte's words. Sometimes the leader just needs to listen carefully.

With the rising of the sun, the white mist gradually evaporated under the sunlight.

More and more people travel to Paris by train.

At 7:30 in the morning, accompanied by a harsh whistle, a train with thick white smoke appeared.

The train stopped smoothly at the platform, and Jerome Bonaparte got on the train first, followed by Fleury, Eugène Rouet, Persini and other Bonapartists.

At 7:50, another long whistle sounded, and a large amount of white smoke came out from the chimney of the locomotive again, and the train started slowly.

Jerome Bonaparte, who was bored on the train, drooped one hand by the window and looked out the window.

The distance from Paris to Lyon is nearly 470 kilometers. The train moves at a speed of 40-50 kilometers per hour. It takes about 10 hours to reach the destination years. The fastest train at that time was the United States. Troop, it reached a speed of 96.6 kilometers per hour]

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the train slowly stopped at the Paris railway station, and Jerome Bonaparte and the Bonapartists got off.

Jerome Bonaparte, who returned to Paris after a lapse of 4 months, was particularly excited.

Compared to himself four months ago, Paris is like his first love. He will start from here and then conquer the whole of France.

Surrounded by Eugène Rouet and other Bonapartists, Jerome Bonaparte came to the Rhine Hotel near the Champs Avenue in Saint-Germain, where his cheap dad lived in the Rhine Hotel. .

When Jerome Bonaparte and Eugène Rouet arrived at the Rhine Hotel, from the innkeeper's mouth, Jerome Bonaparte got his cheap dad and did not stay in the hotel.

From the expression on the hotel owner's face and his knowledge of the cheap dad, Jerome Bonaparte speculated that his dad might have "deeply communicated" with an opera actress at a certain opera house.

Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and whispered in Tuscan dialect: "Really, they are a lot of age! I have to learn from other young people! It's really worthless!"

The hotel owner, who did not understand the Tuscan dialect, looked at Jerome Bonaparte with a puzzled expression.

Standing beside Jerome Bonaparte, Eugène Rouet suppressed a smile and put on a serious gesture.

After discussing with the hotel owner, Jerome Bonaparte decided to rent the floor of his former residence as his temporary office.

The hotel owner, who was in the off-season for tourism in Paris, ecstatically agreed to Jerome Bonaparte.
