When Jerome Bonaparte opened the door of Soult's bedroom, he saw Marshal Soult swaying on the reclining chair.

Is this really Sirte?

Looking at Soult in front of him, Jerome Bonaparte's mind couldn't help but come up with the portrait of Soult in his memory. No matter how he compared it, he couldn't compare the strong man in the portrait with the old man lying on the rocking chair now. Guys get in touch.

At this time, Marshal Sirte lay quietly on the rocking chair, motionless, as if he was asleep.

In Jérôme Bonaparte's eyes, Soult was like a candle that was about to burn out, and he could be blown out with just a little trouble.

"Grand Marshal!" Upon seeing this, the servant standing by the side quickly ran to Sirte and called Sirte softly.

Sirte slowly opened his eyes. The eyes that used to be full of ambition and aggression are now only Muran.

"Oh! It's you!" Marshal Soult slowly looked at Jerome Bonaparte, a reluctant smile on his pale face, and he stretched out his hand to invite Jerome Bonaparte to sit Next: "What a rare visitor!"

"Excuse me!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Soult with a hypocritical smile: "It's really a blessing for the French nation to see you still in good health!"

"Healthy?" Sirte still kept a smile: "Please don't comfort me! My rotten body, I'm afraid it will end in a few days! At that time, I'm afraid I will go to heaven to see the merciful Lord. !"

Surter paused and showed a wry smile at the corners of his mouth, and replied to himself: "Maybe it will go to hell!"

"Please take care of your health!" Jerome Bonaparte still hypocritically persuaded Soult to take care of his health.

"I know my body better than you!" Soult euphemistically pierced Jerome Bonaparte's hypocrisy: "The world is moving forward, and you will create it in the future! I am just a remnant of an old era. , just live in this new era!"

Jerome Bonaparte looked at Marshal Sirte silently and did not speak.

Soult continued: "I feel very honored to have you come to see me! You must be ready to build a whole new empire! Oh, the empire, how nostalgic! I feel like I have gone through another cycle. Same!"

"Thank you very much for the help you gave me back then!" These words came from the heart of Jerome Bonaparte. Without the help of Marshal Soult, Jerome Bonaparte would not have been around at all. It is impossible to gather a larger Bonaparte military group than in history.

Of course, now Jérôme Bonaparte began to work on weakening the existing Bonaparte military groups and started to cultivate new ones to replace them.

After all, these generals who came to Jerome Bonaparte through Soult's relationship only moved closer to them because of their interests. Zan is so kind of support, and it is impossible to direct them like an arm.

"It's all your own efforts!" Sirte replied softly: "To be honest, your coup also surprised me!"

"Huh?" Jerome Bonaparte looked at Soult suspiciously.

"I thought that you would not activate until the end of your tenure! I didn't expect that you would move so quickly!" Soult praised Jerome Bonaparte: "It was a perfect blow, a blow. They sent those guys from the Legislative Assembly in!"

After speaking, Soult let out a hearty laugh.

It can be seen that Sirte is still full of malice towards the Legislative Assembly.

Even if he was about to die, he was unwilling to forgive the Legislative Assembly.

"I just caught the loophole of their inconsistency!" Jerome Bonaparte responded modestly.

"The ability to seize the enemy's weakness and then give a fatal blow at the most critical moment is an excellent politician!" I'm old! Otherwise I'd be honored to see an emperor rise!"

"You are overrated!" A confident smile appeared on the face of Jerome Bonaparte, who was humble on his lips.

alike!

In a trance, Marshal Soult seemed to see the shadow of the original emperor. They were equally confident, and they all believed that they could transcend the world.

Although later emperors failed, he was more successful than everyone else.

"You will become a real leader!" Soult could not help but once again to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Leader?" Jerome Bonaparte thought for a moment, then replied indifferently: "Rather than becoming a leader, I hope France can return to the position that belonged to him!"

"Aren't you afraid that the whole of Europe will form an anti-French alliance once again? The emperor defeated them six times, but he couldn't completely defeat them. In the end, they united to bring down the emperor!" Sirte seemed to mention it intentionally.

"An alliance against France?" Jerome Bonaparte sighed and replied softly: "If the emperor could have followed Talleyrand's advice and stopped the attack; if the emperor could have stopped talking about my father and uncles wanton division, Perhaps France is also facing the dilemma it is facing now.

Times are changing! When the monarchy is hit by external forces, the friendship of the monarchs will give way to geopolitics! The once huge monarchy is bound to fall apart, and I only need to win over a part of it!

In fact, only relying on France's own strength has been unable to establish an absolute dominance in Europe, we must unite some countries to maintain the rule together.

Marshal Sirte, have you noticed! All of us have been subconsciously avoiding one thing. "

"What's the matter?" Soult looked at Jerome Bonaparte suspiciously.

"France is gradually weakening!" Jerome Bonaparte's tone was calm and unquestionable.

"A great man can lead France to rise, but a mediocre person will only make it decline!" Soult's tone revealed a touch of disdain. He obviously misunderstood what Jerome Bonaparte meant.

Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and said: "Whether France is weak or not really depends on the means of those in power, and what is more important is the potential of the country itself. Whether it is the Kingdom of Prussia or the United States of America, they all have the potential to surpass France! Especially! It's the Kingdom of Prussia, just give them enough time, and they'll put France under their feet!"

"The Kingdom of Prussia? Just by them? A country that was almost destroyed!" Sirte responded with a proud attitude.

"German nationalism is integrating Germany into a whole!" Jerome Bonaparte sighed.

If it wasn't for his uncle's elimination of feudal obligations, big and small, German nationalism would not have swept the whole of Germany so quickly.

"Nearly more than 30 million Germans, plus the developed waterway transportation network and coal and iron environment in the Rhineland, plus Prussia's unique reserve system... They will be France's strongest opponent!" Jerome Bona One by one, Barr told Soult about the telegraph, the railroad, the advantages of mobilization between France and Germany, industrial strength, and population.

As the best chief of staff ever, Soult instantly understood the cooperation between the railway and the telegraph, and the marching speed of the army would far surpass that of their time. He also understood that Jerome Bonaparte said that the French would possibility to be surpassed.

In the final analysis, France relies on his institutional advantages and manpower. If these two conditions are exceeded, France is really in danger.

"40 years! It's only been 40 years!" Sirte's eyes were a little complicated, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"The most important thing is that the times are still moving forward! If we don't move forward, then we will be abandoned by the times!" Jerome Bonaparte also sighed with emotion.

"Is that what you're asking for reform?" Sirte asked softly.

"You know?" Jerome Bonaparte looked at Marshal Soult in surprise.

"Some of my former subordinates wrote to me some time ago!" Marshal Sirte admitted frankly.

"They must have said a lot of bad things about me!" Jerome Bonaparte showed a disdainful smile: "Those soldiers are still indulging in the war decades ago, but they have not made any progress in the development of the times! Too much! Their memory will only rust their thinking!"

Marshal Sirte smiled and nodded in agreement: "You are right!"

Jerome Bonaparte left after a long chat with Soult.

After Jerome Bonaparte left, Soult called his servants and asked him to find paper and a pen.

In the dictation of Marshal Sirte, the servant wrote a letter.

The content of the letter is to persuade those old men to follow Bonaparte's pace and try not to conflict with Jerome Bonaparte.

"Grand Marshal, why do you want to help Jerome Bonaparte?" the servant asked in confusion.

"I help him?" Soult said with a wry smile: "How can I help him now, I'm telling my stupid subordinates not to die, otherwise, they will die ugly!"

Soult learned about Jerome Bonaparte's determination in the dialogue with Jerome Bonaparte. He has no doubt that this nephew has the same determination as his uncle. If his subordinates have always been yin and yang If it is violated, I am afraid that we will meet the order of compulsory retirement Now send someone to Paris immediately! Let those guys see it! ' Marshal Soult said sternly to the servant.

"Yes!" The servant turned and left, and Sirte's body lay on the rocking chair again. The rocking chair swayed back and forth. Marshal Sirte also entered the dream. In the dream, he returned to that era and followed the emperor he was loyal to.

Soon the rocking chair stopped shaking.

...

On November 7, Jérôme Bonaparte, who had left the town of Saint-Amand, returned to Paris after four days.

At the same time, George Haussmann, a senior official in the Seine province, also completed a comprehensive suppression of the municipal council.

The first phase of the Paris project is gradually unfolding in the hands of Georges Haussmann.

In the first phase of the project plan, the first thing to do is to build a street that crosses the city in an east-west direction, and the extension of Rivoli Street has become the most important part of building an east-west city.

On November 8, 1851, after a long discussion by the City Hall Committee, it was decided that Rivoli Street was extended by 800 meters on the original basis, and it was extended to the City Hall. In this way, the first main road in Paris to cross the city was successfully constructed. .
