Make France Great Again

Chapter 40 Reaching an Agreement

Thiers was obviously lost in thought by Eugene Rouet's question.

The Party of Order does have the need and the ability to support a military leader, but who can guarantee that those warriors will not breed undue ambitions like Napoleon back then. Napoleon was also recognized as the son of the revolution before he usurped the throne. Even At the beginning, I just wanted to have a place in Paris, but now I am only one step away from the center of power.

"A capable and determined leader who is also supported by the army may not necessarily obey the orders of the National Assembly!" Roue said while the iron was hot.

"Your power in the army is not small!" Thiers snorted coldly and retorted: "Which one of the generals entrenched in France was not the one who followed the emperor to fight in the east and west? They are infinite to the emperor. reverence!"

More than 30 years are not enough to replace a generation. As Thiers said, the military officers who started with the emperor have now grown into generals.

At the beginning, Rouet decided to defect to Bonaparte because he saw Bonaparte's potential in the French army. The key to the survival of a regime lies in the stability of the regime and the attitude of the army. As long as the army does not object, then This regime can survive.

In front of Thiers, Rouet could only downplay Bonaparte's influence on the army. He said to Thiers in an exaggerated Parisian accent: "Mr. Thiers, does our army have such a thing as loyalty?" ?The emperor is destroyed, they can take refuge in the Bourbon family with peace of mind! The republican regime came, and they left the Bourbon family and switched to the republic! Loyalty is worthless to them, they only care about whether they can get enough from the rebellion Interests!"

Thiers also felt the same in his heart, the French army only cared about their own pockets.

In other words, whoever can lead them out to rob, they obey their orders.

If they can't lead them out, they will abandon this regime without hesitation.

This is the failure of Louis Philippe. At the beginning, I also wanted to learn from that His Majesty who led the army to plunder, but it was a pity that the success fell short.

[In 1840, he was forced to resign on October 29, 1840, due to the intervention of Britain, Russia, Prussia, and Austria due to his tough attitude in supporting Muhammad Ali against Turkey. 】

"Perhaps what you said makes sense!" Thiers' hands trembled slightly due to emotional reasons, and his tone became more and more serious: "Then what are your interests?"

"Mr. Thiers!" Rouet's expression also became serious, and he knew that now is the critical moment of the confrontation: "I heard that you urged the construction of the "Thiers" city wall after you left office. Great project!"

[Thiers City Wall, in order to appease the frustrated Thiers, Louis Philippe handed over the task of building the Paris City Wall to Thiers with full authority. The task took 3 years and faced a huge deficit and corruption in the middle Question, Louis Philippe did not ask. It is generally believed that Thiers committed corruption and fraud on the issue of the city wall, creating deficits. 】

Thiers instantly understood the purpose of the greedy Bonapartist Eugene Rouet.

Four years is enough for them to squander for a long time.

Thiers was not afraid of the corruption of these Bonapartists, but rather of their non-corruption.

Guys who are not corrupt tend to seek greater things.

What a bunch of greedy guys!

Thiers sneered secretly in his heart, but still said: "Of course, that is a project I personally supervised!"

"We also want to supervise a project that can benefit the whole of France like Mr. Thiers!" Rouai said with a face full of greed: "Everything is for France!"

"Yes! Everything is for France!" Thiers also showed a sly smile,

In his mind the threat of the Bonapartists had been minimized.

"Furthermore, Mr. Thiers! Our leader is only 26 years old now, and he doesn't have enough prestige in France! He must rely on an excellent politician like you to guard him!" Eugène Rouet continued to draw big cakes Tempted Thiers said.

"Don't you (the Bonapartists) have any complaints?" Thiers retorted.

"We (the Bonapartists) will merge with you (the party of Order)!" Rouet said to Thiers.

"On behalf of our Party of Order, I welcome you to join!" Thiers was very moved by Roue's pie. Jerome Bonaparte's age and qualifications became his shortcomings, but also his advantages.

"Then, our proposal..." Rouet asked Thiers with a smile on his face.

"We will push for the return of Prince Louis Napoleon. The remaining elections will be up to you. I believe you will be able to do it!"

Thiers made the decision he regretted most in his life.

...

May 8, 1848.

The "petition" action of the Chartist movement lasted for three days.

During these three days, the British government went against the previous tolerant attitude towards the Chartists, and struck hard at the Chartists.

Hundreds of Chartist "leaders" and "workers" were arrested, and small and medium-sized leftist newspapers were banned.

As the largest of the left-wing newspapers, the "North Star" has also received a severe warning from the United Kingdom government.

But the "Northern Star" didn't care about this, even though they were verbally warned, they still kept attacking the problems of the United Kingdom government.

Sandy-mapped articles under the headline Bonapartism appeared in The Polaris, among other left-wing newspapers.

For a time, workers and gentlemen in London and the counties around London knew about Louis Bonaparte.

Some guys who knew Louis Napoleon also ate human blood steamed buns, and they also hyped Louis Napoleon's "great achievements" in the United Kingdom, as if Louis Napoleon was born to save the United Kingdom.

It's just that when they preach "great achievements", they don't forget to bring themselves.

There are even some guys with ulterior motives demonstrating in the United Kingdom under the slogan "We want to belong to our Napoleon!"

The public opinion offensive that Jerome Bonaparte had hoped for in The Times turned out to be completed in the hands of the Polaris by accident.

Even Jerome Bonaparte, who was staying in the detention center, couldn't help but sigh with emotion after hearing the news.

I still underestimated the power of left-wing newspapers.

The United Kingdom government had to consider dispelling the sudden reverence for "Bonaparte" in the United Kingdom and what to do with Jérôme Bonaparte who was detained in the Metropolitan Police District of London.
