Chapter 167： Bonaparte Cabinet

The sudden attack of Jerome Bonaparte made Odillombarro unable to react for a while. He thought it was just an ordinary meeting and he never expected such an ending.

In fact, a few days before the opening of the parliament, Odi Lombarro had heard some rumors that Gérôme Bonaparte might oust him.

At first he just didn't take it seriously, but as more and more parliamentarians hinted at Audi Lombarro, there was a little bit of vigilance in Audi Lombarro's heart. However, without the support of the parliament, he also did not dare to tear his face with Jerome Bonaparte, and he was also confident in himself. He believed that once he was removed from office, then Jerome Bonaparte would not be able to find a way to form it. The head of the cabinet, in the five days after the opening of the parliament, he attracted the members of the party of Order while guarding against Jerome Bonaparte.

As time went on, Odillombarro's vigilance became less and less, and there were signs that Jerome Bonaparte seemed to have no intention of dismissing him.

Unexpectedly, Jerome Bonaparte's attack was completed so quickly that his mind was still in a state of chaos.

"Mr. President, what am I doing wrong?" Odi Lombarro's eyes were dull, and a mechanical question came from his mouth. At this time, he didn't look like an eloquent speaker in the parliament at all. A woman who has been hurt by a scumbag.

"Mr. Barrow! Since you became prime minister, you have been diligent in organizing the work of the cabinet every day." Jerome Bonaparte first praised Odilo Barrow's work attitude: "So I will To award you the Order of Honor of the Grand Legion for your service to France during this time."

After speaking, Jerome Bonaparte turned around and placed the Medal of Glory of the Grand Legion on the table in his right hand, then turned and stood in front of Odilo Barro, and personally brought the Medal of Glory of the Grand Legion for Odilo Barro.

Odillombarro didn't say a word during the whole process, he was like a puppet with only lost soul still being played with by Jérôme Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte, who hung the Legion of Honor on Odilombarro's chest, applauded Odilombarro for himself.

"Mr. President, why do you want to dismiss me?" Odillombarro repeated what he said before, this time from his tone, Jerome Bonaparte could clearly feel Odilombarro's inner annoyance.

Jerome Bonaparte didn't care about Odi Lombarro's inner feelings at the moment. A politician without rights is like a tiger without teeth, no... Even a tiger will bark twice, and a politician will only break it. Swallowing his teeth in his stomach, any misbehavior means complete failure, not to mention other extreme behaviors. He believes that Audi Lombarro will not make unwise actions. It is normal for politicians to have their ups and downs. thing.

Jerome Bonaparte responded calmly to Odillombarro: "Prime Minister Barrow... No, I think you should be called Mr. Barrow, and you should understand why I was dismissed!"

Then, Jerome Bonaparte sighed and shook his head: "Mr. Barrow, I thought we would be a good pair! I didn't expect you to do such a thing!"

"Stop covering it up!" Odilo Barro growled. "You didn't want me to be prime minister from the beginning, did you! You despicable careerist! Your purpose is only to be in power. , everything you said is nothing but your despicable excuse!"

Jerome Bonaparte still looked at Odillombarro with a smile on his face. Odilombarro's gaffe was something he didn't expect. He thought that everyone would be like the old fox of Thiers. Winning or losing all maintain a flattering expression.

"Mr. Barrow, say what you want!" Jerome Bonaparte said with a regretful expression: "I do have the idea of ​​​​having power, but I will still choose to respect the National Assembly!"

"Respect the National Assembly?" Odi Lombarro laughed angrily. He couldn't have imagined that someone had the audacity to say respect for the National Assembly.

Jerome Bonaparte watched Odi Lombarro quietly, until after his laughter ended, Jerome Bonaparte responded sternly: "Mr. Question, consulted the MPs who stayed in Paris. Guess what they said?"

"What's the matter?" Odi Lombarro was also curious about the attitude of his colleagues in the Party of Order towards him.

"He can oppose my dismissal of you!" Jerome Bonaparte responded to Odillombarro.

Odilo Barro was stunned for a moment, and then a touch of relief appeared on his face.

In the next second, Jerome Bonaparte shattered Odi Lombarro's relief in icy language: "Their opposition is nothing more than a verbal shout! If they really don't want to see you step down, That's not what it is now! I said that I respect the opinion of the National Assembly, but I will not respect the opinion of the grass!"

Odi Lombarro's relieved expression disappeared in an instant.

Yes! He would not have been ousted if the party MPs backed him with a tough stance. The emperor's nephew would not be afraid of a bunch of weeds.

"Your Excellency President, you won! We all underestimated you!" Odilo Barro's mouth showed a downhearted smile: "Me, Thiers, and Morais are all, the power we gave the president was too great! "

"Mr. Barrow, didn't you have any selfishness at the beginning?" Jerome Bonaparte asked: "Who gave the president great power, it can't be me! In the end, you just want to To welcome a new king!"

"Yeah!" Odilo Barro calmly admitted his original thoughts: "If we didn't have selfish intentions, you wouldn't be in power!"

For Audi Lombarro, he has lost this match, but he will not lose forever, he will come back sooner or later.

In French politics, the change of prime ministers or prime ministers is too frequent, which has long been commonplace.

"Mr. Barrow, if everyone has no selfishness, will you still split? Will you still choose to welcome back to Orleans?" Jerome Bonaparte mercilessly exposed the remnants of Odillom Barrow's fluke .

If the Orleanists can truly unite, the Republicans and other parties will be crushed by them and unable to move.

"Mr. President, I want to take the liberty of asking all the way, who will take my seat next?" Odi Lombarro asked.

From what he knew about Thiers and Moret, the two of them would never enter the cabinet.

They could have been prime minister if they wanted to.

The Duke of Brouy was equally unlikely to join the Bonaparte. [Odilo Barro does not know, because of the influence of the Count of Chambord, the Duke of Broy is already considering joining the Bonaparte faction. 】

Only the Orleans are left.

After a moment of silence, Jerome Bonaparte said the name of the Prime Minister: "I will appoint the Count of Opel as Prime Minister!"

"Count Oupre?" Jerome Bonaparte's answer made Odillombarro a little unable to believe his ears: "That fool who only knows how to fight? My successor?"

"That's right! It's him!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded in response to Odillombarro.

Odi Lombarro once again showed a touch of self-deprecation, he did not expect that his successor would be such a person.

"Mr. President, you are going to use the Count of Opper as a marionette in your hand, right!" Odilo Barro looked at Jerome Bonaparte slowly: "A soldier and an imitator, what a wonderful pair The combination!"

Of course, Jerome Bonaparte would not admit his own thoughts. He humbly said to Odillombarro: "I will respect the choice of Count Opel, just as I respected you at the beginning!"

Odi Lombarro clearly couldn't believe that Jerome Bonaparte would really respect Opper.

Since Count Opel is willing to serve as prime minister, it means that he has voluntarily become a marionette of Jerome Bonaparte The lost Odillombarro is still likely to meddle in his own business.

"Mr. President, after I resign, the cabinet members must also be dismissed!" Odi Lombarro calmed down and asked Jerome Bonaparte in a calm tone.

"Except for a few wealthy leaders, I will replace most of the ministers!" Jerome Bonaparte responded with a nod to Audi Lombarro, and then added: "After you leave the office , your brother Ferdinand Barrow will be Minister of the Interior!"

"That guy Ferdinand has been yours from the beginning, right!" Odilo Barro smiled bitterly. He had already heard about his ineffective younger brother joining the Bonaparte faction, but he had no time to prove it. .

Jerome Bonaparte nodded and told Odillombarro the ins and outs: "Mr. Ferdinand joined us in June this year and is willing to fight with us!"

"Alas!" Odi Lombarro sighed again, his brother was a republican, his brother was a Bonapartist, and he was an Orleansian, and a good family has become what it is now: "Mr. President, what are you going to do? It's time to announce the news of my dismissal!"

Jerome Bonaparte glanced at his pocket watch. The time was 9:30: "I will announce your replacement in half an hour!"

"Your actions are really fast! I lost no loss!" Odilo Barro gave Jerome Bonaparte an approving look.

"By the way, there is one more thing! M. Barrow, you should be careful of M. Thiers! How big is his ambition?" Jerome Bonaparte "reminds" Thiers.

"I know!"
