Chapter 163： Showdown

Through more nuanced exchanges with General Reign, Jerome Bonaparte discovered that General Reign, as he has shown in history, not only has a strong hand, but also has a mind to examine the pros and cons. The fly in the ointment is that General Reño lacks enough ambition.

Jerome Bonaparte guessed that this may have something to do with the age of General Reno. You must know that General Reno is now in his 60s. If he follows the steps, General Reno will retire in a few years. , General Reino's mentality has also undergone some changes. All he does is more to repay his kindness, and to pave the way for those who fought in the Roman battle.

This also means that Jérôme Bonaparte cannot completely put the chips of the coup on him, and a soldier who is not driven enough by ambition is likely to lose the chain at a critical moment.

Although he had already decided in his heart to regard General Reno as an overdue post, Jerome Bonaparte still hoped that General Reno would be able to stand in this position.

Reigno was then transferred to the Italian Front as commander, taking over from Marshal Biro.

Of course, this is only Jerome Bonaparte's intention. When General Reno has to leave, Jerome Bonaparte will also let him do the same with Minister Liuelli and Prime Minister Opper (quasi) General Reño made his own choice.

"General Reigno, the future Ministry of War will take your troubles!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Reigno kindly.

"I will lead my colleagues in the War Department and swear allegiance to the President!" General Reigno quickly stood up to salute Jerome Bonaparte, and emphasized again: "Even if it is against a large group of people! Only the Bonaparte family can rule the entire family. France, we don't know anyone but the Bonaparte family!"

"Excellent!" Jerome Bonaparte was very satisfied with General Reno's attitude, and he reassured General Reno: "General, I assure you that your loyalty will be rewarded! God! Wouldn't want to let a general loyal to France!"

For Jerome Bonaparte's naked comparison of himself to the whole of France and to God, General Regnault, a "devout" believer, did not have any disgust, but felt that Jerome Bonaparte was a man worthy of following. leader.

And the return that Jerome Bonaparte said was also well known to General Reño, which was part of the reason why he was able to join the Bonaparte Cabal without any psychological burden.

According to Jérôme Bonaparte's investigation, it was found that what General Reigno wanted most was to obtain his father's title. Since General Reigno was the illegitimate son of his father and his mistress, from a legal point of view, General Reigno did not inheritance.

If Jerome Bonaparte was emperor, he could use the power of the emperor to force Regnio to inherit his father's title.

In fact, the title of General Reño's father was also conferred by Emperor Napoleon.

The uncle canonized the father, and the nephew canonized the son.

A fantastic team.

"General Reigno, you are staying at the Elysee Palace during this time and don't go! The Elysee Palace is still quite big!" Jerome Bonaparte said to General Reigno.

"Your Majesty, I'd better go back!" General Regnio was a little reluctant to live in the Elysee Palace.

"Why?" Jerome Bonaparte asked General Regnault curiously, and then said to General Regnault in a teasing tone: "Could it be that there are some taboos in the Elysee Palace?"

"I just feel... I feel..." General Reynio was at a loss for words, and finally said only one sentence: "It's a little stressful to be with you!"

"Pressure?" Jerome Bonaparte gently stroked his smooth jaw with his right hand.

Could it be that people have different impressions because of their different locations?

"Forget it! Since you don't want to, then I won't force you!" Jerome Bonaparte waved his hand and responded generously.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" General Renault breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Jerome Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte also glanced at the pendulum clock in the corner from the corner of his eye. It was now about ten o'clock in the evening.

"Let's go! It's time for supper!" said Jerome Bonaparte to General Reno.

Jérôme Bonaparte and General Reigno walked from the parlour to the dining room.

The rich supper was served after the two of them were seated. After the two had a delicious meal, Wardley led General Reigno to leave the Elysee Palace.

Jerome Bonaparte, led by his servant with a candlestick in his hand, went to the bedroom.

Since there are many rooms in the Elysee Palace, if candles are placed in each place, it will inevitably generate huge expenses. However, this expense needs to be paid by Jerome Bonaparte himself. Can choose to give up some unimportant areas.

The distance from the dining room to the same bedroom is exactly the part that Jerome Bonaparte gave up. Looking at the dark corridor ahead, Jerome Bonaparte once again felt the greatness of electricity.

It is a pity that the application of electricity will not be able to be used on a large scale until after the second industrial revolution. France has not completely completed the first industrial revolution. To make the Elysee Palace a place full of light, in theory, it still needs to wait. more than ten years.

Unless Jerome Bonaparte can use the administrative resources of France to let the academicians of the French Academy of Sciences overcome the problem of electricity regardless of cost, then it is possible to enjoy the benefits of the second industrial revolution in advance.

When I become emperor, I must let the whole Elysee Palace... No, it should be said that the whole Paris can fully enjoy the convenience brought by electricity!

Jerome Bonaparte was determined in his heart to light up the electricity technology tree at any cost.

Led by the servants, Jerome Bonaparte entered the bedroom.

The servant put the candlestick behind the bedside table and left alone. Jerome Bonaparte, who was standing in front of the window lattice with his hands behind his back, looked at the sly moonlight hanging in the sky, and muttered in Chinese: "Bless me with all the best!"

...

Two days later, on September 29.

The opening of the Legislative Assembly is less than 2 days away.

With the exception of a few MPs, most MPs have returned to Paris.

Cabinet members headed by Odi Lombarro are working overtime to make reports, so that they can report to the parliament before the first meeting, and by the way, think about the questions that some members may ask.

Jerome Bonaparte also stayed in the office and worked hard to write "December 1848-October 1849, Report on the Work of France".

The report refers to the information gathered to him by various departments. He wants all the things that have happened in France in the past six months in the parliament. He will also write some proposals that have not yet been approved by the Legislative Assembly in the bill and urge the Legislative Assembly as soon as possible. implement.

Just as Jerome Bonaparte was halfway through writing, there was a knock on the door.

Jérôme Bonaparte, who had no head in his head, could only respond indifferently: "Come in!"

The door opened slowly, and Pesini's voice appeared in Jerome Bonaparte's ear: "Your Majesty!"

Jerome Bonaparte raised his head and looked at this confidant who had "disappeared" for nearly a month, and the pen stopped unconsciously?

"Pesini, why are you coming back now?" Looking at Pesini with a slightly tired expression, Jerome Bonaparte asked Pesini kindly.

Having said that, he got up and went to Pessini to shake hands with Pessini, and then took Pesini to the sofa to listen to him tell about what happened during this time.

"Your Majesty, you don't know..." Persini, who was sitting on the sofa, told Jerome Bonapart what happened after the two parted: "After I parted with you, I went to Dijon for you to visit! "

"What do the people there say about me! You didn't explain to them the unrealistic rumours coming from Paris!" Jerome Bonaparte asked Pessini impatiently.

"Your Majesty, after the people of Dijon heard that I came to visit on your behalf, none of them were unwelcome! Especially the industrial and commercial giants in Dijon asked me all day long when the President would be able to arrive in Dijon, and they gave you a warm reception. !" Pesini boasted to Jerome Bonaparte: "I have also repeatedly emphasized the unrealistic rumors about the July coup At the same time, I also reprimanded some bloggers who tried to take advantage of this incident. Eyeball reporter! Now the whole of Dijon has become my city.

By the way, the subordinates also went to Auxerre, Jonah Province! "

"Oh? What's wrong there?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Persini, who did not believe that Persini was passing by Auxerre "by chance".

"Your support for the president is more enthusiastic than Dijon. They are led by senior officials..." Persini vividly described to Jerome Bonaparte everything that happened in Auxerre, including the grand Welcome ceremony and National Guard parade.

"Their high-ranking official is also an interesting person?" said Jerome Bonaparte to Pessini.

"That's right! Their high-ranking official, Georges Eugene Haussmann, is still one of your loyal supporters!" Pessini flattered Jerome Bonaparte.

"Wait? You mean their high official is Georges Eugene Haussmann?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Pesigny again.

"Yes! What's the matter, Your Majesty?" Persini, who saw Jerome Bonaparte's expression changed a little bit, asked nervously, praying in his heart that Osman didn't have any grudge against the president.

Otherwise, your potential allies will be in vain.

"It's nothing! It's just that I think this name is somewhat similar to a person I know." Jerome Bonaparte, who had recovered, said perfunctorily.

Jerome Bonaparte's words made Persini heave a sigh of relief, and he hurriedly said to Jerome Bonaparte: "You don't know, the high-ranking Ottoman official is a..."
