Chapter 178： Panic or Fact?

On November 10, 1849, the Paris police station under the police department did not take action as expected by the citizens of Paris.

Under the instruction of the police chief, Carlier, the Paris police station "hit a heavy blow" against the newspapers affiliated to the Havas News Agency.

The most representative of Hawass News Agency, the Observer and the News, were forced to pay fines, and other small and medium-sized newspapers were also "forced" to suspend business for rectification.

The leader of the Hawass News Agency even published a publication to refute the "false" reports of Hawass News' subordinates. .

The content of the article is to apologize for the "possible" ineffectiveness of the Hawass news agency's recent report, and to express "understanding" of the "legislative assembly" instructing the Paris police to take action.

This article by the citizens of Paris is not so much an "apology letter" as it is a provocative declaration of fire. They asked the "Legislative Assembly" to make an accurate article to refute rumors and respond to whether there are counter-revolutionaries trying to subvert the Republic in the central and southern regions of France.

Seeing the opportunity, Jerome Bonaparte also chose to support the citizens of Paris. He wanted to drive the Legislative Assembly to a cliff, then cut the rope and send the Legislative Assembly to hell.

On November 13, Le Bonaparte published an article titled "We should not be silent" at the order of Jerome Bonaparte.

The article encourages the citizens of Paris to actively criticize the Legislative Assembly. If there is no severe criticism, the Legislative Assembly will not be able to progress.

As soon as Jerome Bonaparte's solidarity with the citizens appeared, the party of Order, which had thought it was just a crisis of ordinary public opinion, immediately felt that the situation seemed to be beyond their control.

Although they do not believe in their hearts that the president will make peace with the "left" in parliament (in the eyes of the Party of Order, both the Republicans and the Mountain Party are left), the reality has to prevent them from cooperating with the "left".

[In history, Napoleon III often threatened the Party of Order by cooperating with the "leftists", forcing the Party of Order to agree to the plan. The party of Order, which was a rat-killer, could only compromise with Jerome Bonaparte again and again, and then Jerome Bonaparte seized the military power step by step. 】

"Headquarters" of the Party of Order in Rue Povarti.

Odillombarro, Morais, and Thiers, who had almost broken in the June incident, miraculously gathered together again after a few months to discuss countermeasures. The scene in front of them fully demonstrates that only children can be right or wrong. Adults only care about interests, and they are talking about Jérôme Bonaparte.

"That guy Napoleon, what is he trying to do! Is it any good for him to mess up Paris?" Count Morley said with a sullen face and a bad tone. Now he can't wait to tear that **** guy into pieces.

"I don't know either! It doesn't seem to do him any good!" Thiers frowned, shrewdly wondering what Jerome Bonaparte was trying to do.

"Although we don't know what that guy Napoleon wants to do, I can be sure that he is a complete careerist!" After losing power, he regained his sane mind.

"What shall we do now? Continue to let it go? Or do we do it?" Count Morlaix glanced at Thiers and Odi Lombarro in deep thought.

"Is it too early to start... We are not ready..." Count Morlaix's words made Odillombarro slightly confused, and he politely discouraged him.

From the current situation, they have a high probability of success, but they are not absolutely successful.

If they could delay the event until next year, their chances of success would be higher.

"I can't wait any longer... If you wait any longer, something may go wrong!" Count Morlaix said decisively, and he glanced at Odillombarro and Thiers from the corner of his eye: "Didn't you see Yue More and more people come to take refuge in that **** Napoleon, and if it goes on like this, it will be very difficult for us to implement it! Think about it, once that guy gathers enough strength, he will amend the constitution and extend his term of office. How are we going to fight him!"

Although the words of Count Morley were a bit harsh, they did sound the alarm for Thiers and Odi Lombarro.

Jerome Bonaparte, who had deposed Odillombarro, had assumed executive power throughout France.

If he is allowed to control the majority of the members of parliament, he is likely to amend the constitution and extend his term.

At that time, they will all be out in this duel.

Of course, Thiers did not think about the possibility of an armed coup by the president, but the parliamentary struggle was obviously more beneficial to him than an armed coup with little hope.

Thiers saw through the royalists in the party of Order, whose purpose was only to protect the king, they could accept Orleans, accept Bourbon, and also accept Bonaparte.

Once the power of the President tends to overwhelm the Legislative Assembly, those royalists will flock to the President.

In Thiers' eyes, not to mention them and Odi Lombarro, one of the giants of the Party of Order, were also labeled as untrustworthy.

Although Audi Lombarro stepped down, his younger brother Ferdinand Barrow was on stage.

It is not certain that Odi Lombarro will also join Jerome Bonaparte one day. Political philosophy is not the same as political camp.

Of course, Thiers himself was not a devout royalist either, all he did was to succeed Jerome Bonaparte.

Thiers didn't want to see that after four years of hard preparation, it finally became a situation in which Jerome Bonaparte continued to serve as the French president.

"Yeah! It's time to shoot!" Thiers nodded, agreeing with Molay's suggestion.

"If Napoleon shoots, what will you do?" Odi Lombarro questioned the feasibility of Morlaix, he did not believe the president would not shoot.

"Mr. Barrow!" Thiers explained to Odi Lombaro unhurriedly: "We can tell the President that this is a last resort to prevent the Reds. As far as I know, the economic situation of the Elysee Palace has To the point of not making ends meet. We can use money to gag the president's mouth when we have to."

Just as Thiers and the others were discussing, there was a knock on the door, and Thiers got up to open the door.

"Mr. Thiers...call...call...letter from Gironde!" Remisa, Thiers' secretary, breathed out the letter to Thiers.

Thiers, who took the letter, opened the letter in front of Odillombarro and Morais. Thiers, who had read the letter carefully, smiled and said to Odillombarro and Morais: "Gentlemen, we Here comes the reason!"

At the same time that Thiers received information from the Gironde on the Rue Poirtier, Jerome Bonaparte of the Elysee Palace also received letters from the Gironde.

The smooth Gironde senior officials sent two letters in an attempt to balance the parliament and the president.

Gérôme Bonaparte, who read the letter of a senior official in the Gironde province, put on a dumbfounded expression and said to himself, "Is this Li Gui meeting Li Kui!"

In the letter, a senior official in the Gironde province said that he had "broken" a conspiracy in Gironde to subvert the republic. Vendetta, infighting between workers and bosses, perhaps because of reading the "Observer", senior officials of the Gironde province used exaggerated language to characterize it as a small group of poor people who received black money from foreign forces in an attempt to turn Bordeaux into a The world of red molecules.

[This is what happened in history. After June 1849, central and eastern France and the south were caught in a class war. The poor killed the rich, the rich killed the poor, and the peasants killed the landlords.

In April 1850, the Legislative Assembly, based on the news of the struggle from various places, felt that red was becoming more and more threatening in France, so it canceled the votes of one-third of the French people After reading the letterhead Jerome Bonaparte knew that the letter was likely to be the trigger for a new round of parliamentary struggle.

The situation was not what Jerome Bonaparte had expected.

Over time, the Legislative Assembly, which has been slow to come up with a solution, has been questioned by more and more people.

The leaders of the opposition Republicans and Montagnards in Parliament launched an appeal against the inaction of the Party of Order, calling for the re-election of MPs to preserve the dignity of the Parliament.

Although the Republicans and the Mountain Party knew that their appeal would not be passed, they were still very happy to be able to disgust the Order Party in Parliament.

Unbeknownst to the delightful "social democrats" in parliament, a conspiracy is quietly unfolding against them at the Elysee Palace.

"Mr. President, you must have seen that letter!" Thiers, who was sitting on the sofa and taking a sip of coffee, said calmly.

"I see!" Jerome Bonaparte admitted with a nod.

"Your Excellency, I think we should do something!" Thiers responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte looked at Thiers silently, without speaking.

"Mr. President, I don't think you want to see the Reds occupying Parliament! We are on one side!" Thiers warmly reminded Jerome Bonaparte again.

"That's right! You are always good at compromise!" Jerome Bonaparte sneered endlessly.

Sometimes compromise is also for the next attack!

Thiers could only choose to remain silent about Jerome Bonaparte's ridicule, but he did not dare to tell Jerome Bonaparte what he said in his heart.
