Make France Great Again

Chapter 17 The Death of Louis Napoleon (Part 1)

No one knows what was discussed at the banquet. Historians can only deduce that the gathering between Palmerston and Prince Albert may be a later date from the clues and historical events that have been explored in a few words from Victoria's diary. The beginning of a series of big events.

Prince Albert and Palmerston are not the only protagonists of the big event, it will completely engulf the whole of Europe like a vortex.

...

Time flies, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle.

In a blink of an eye, April 30 has passed, and the sky is dark on this day.

In the early morning, thick dark clouds shrouded the entire city of London. From time to time, a light blue electric arc could be seen passing through the clouds to illuminate London in the dark clouds, followed by a deafening thunderous sound , a heavy rain seems to be coming to London soon.

At this time, half a month had passed since Jerome arrived in London. During these 7 days, Dr. Jerome and James tried every means to maintain Napoleon III's fragile life like a firefly.

From intravenous injection to enema, and then to taking opium [opium can effectively relieve the pain of patients, and was the most effective anesthetic and sedative in the 19th century. However, patients who take opiates inevitably become addicts! As an opium-rich country, the United Kingdom also has the largest number of addicts in Europe. Of course, smoking opium also makes a huge contribution to the United Kingdom's tax revenue from a certain perspective. 】.

In short, Dr. Jerome and Dr. James used all the methods of treating cholera that they knew or could use in the existing medical field on Louis Napoleon, but Louis Napoleon's body was still getting worse day by day.

The inevitable failure of organs made it a luxury for Louis Napoleon to breathe, and unextracted salicylic acid could no longer suppress the high fever caused by cholera.

Under the double torment of high fever and organ failure, Louis Bonaparte's body became worse day by day.

In just half a month, Louis Napoleon's arms had been so thin that only skin and bones were left, and his abdomen was slightly submerged.

The once clear and clear eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything have also become cloudy.

"Ah...kill me...ah! God! Save your child!" Louis Napoleon wailed in pain under the double torment. This tough man who had experienced the hail of bullets in Italy could not bear this pain .

"It'll be fine! Louis, it'll be fine!" Miss Howard, who was sitting beside Louis Napoleon, clasped her hands and made a gesture of prayer, comforting Louis Napoleon with tears in her eyes.

Miss Howard's reassurance did not calm Louis Napoleon, he still moaned in pain: "Kill me... I don't want to go on like this anymore! Kill me!"

Seeing this, Howard could only shake his head non-stop. How could she, a weak woman, do such a murderous thing.

Seeing that he could not beg Howard to end his life, Louis Napoleon turned to Jerome Bonaparte who was preparing salicylic acid for help.

Lying on the bed, Louis Napoleon called out to Jerome Bonaparte with an almost begging voice: "Cousin...my dear cousin...come here!"

Jerome Bonaparte turned his head to look at Louis Napoleon, with a hint of pity and intolerance in his eyes.

Rather than allowing Louis Napoleon to suffer from illness, it is better to let him die directly.

But Jerome Bonaparte was also unable to bear the charge of kinslaughter, and the most important thing was that his cousin was still the leader of the Bonaparte family.

The crime of killing the leader is a felony that Jerome cannot bear.

If it was discovered that Jerome helped Louis Napoleon get rid of it completely, those guys in France would definitely not mind pouring sewage on him.

At that time, those illegitimate children who hovered on the periphery of the Bonaparte family and the opponents inside the Bonaparte family (the opponents were mainly from the line of Napoleon's eldest brother Joseph.

) will definitely "tell the story".

Not to mention becoming the president, if things go wrong, they will have transnational law enforcement and send Jerome to the prison in Strasbourg.

"Cousin!" Jerome slowly came to Louis Napoleon and whispered softly in Louis Napoleon's ear: "I know you are in pain! I also understand that you want to be relieved, but I really I really can't bear this crime! So for the Bonaparte family..."

Jerome was not talking, and at this moment he felt a little disgusted that he forcibly tied the glory of the Bonaparte family to a seriously ill patient, calling it the Bonaparte family.

After hearing Jerome Bonaparte's muttering, Louis Napoleon suppressed his wailing, and slowly spit out the words "for Bonaparte".

Until now, Louis Napoleon still has not given up the dream of the Bonaparte family to regain the throne of the highest power in France.

Even if he can't ascend to the throne successfully, he will still watch his cousin ascend the throne from the ground.

Thinking of this, Louis Napoleon stretched out his trembling hand to give Jerome Bonaparte encouragement. When his hand was less than a thumb's width away from Jerome Bonaparte's shoulder, Louis Napoleon Slowly withdrew his hand back, he didn't want to pass his illness to Jerome.

With tears in his eyes, Jerome Bonaparte returned to the table where salicylic acid was prepared.

The time slowly reached 10 o'clock, and Dr. James reappeared in Louis Napoleon's hospital bed.

After checking Louis Napoleon's physical condition routinely, Doctor James called Jerome Bonaparte out.

"According to the information I have learned, Prince Louis may not live for two days now! I hope you are prepared!" Dr. James' words were like a boulder hitting Jerome's heart.

After being silent for a long time, Jerome exhaled a sigh of relief and said with a forced smile: "That's fine! Cousin doesn't have to suffer like this anymore! Seeing his howling in pain, sometimes I really want to help him!"

"If... I mean if..." Dr. James emphasized again: "If Prince Louis passed away today, your Excellency had better cremate the prince's body as soon as possible! I have seen many people contract cholera because they wanted to preserve the body people!"

Jerome nodded to express his understanding, and after the two had a chat with the prince, Dr. James left.

As of now, there is no worthwhile treatment option.

On the night of May and August 1848, the heavy rain that had been brewing for a long time poured down like a signal, and the life of Louis Napoleon (Napoleon III) was about to come to an end.
