Make France Great Again

Chapter 63 Recent Situations in France

Things were going on in France as Jérôme Bonaparte had predicted.

After experiencing the event of winning Louis Napoleon's remains on June 1, Paris indeed ushered in a short-lived peace between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie.

The bourgeoisie once again remembered the glory of Napoleon's empire, while the proletariat believed that the government welcomed Louis Napoleon's body to implement Louis Napoleon's theory of Prince Louis Napoleon and seek benefits for workers.

Under the false peace, those workers finally stopped for a few days.

Lamartine also received unanimous praise in Paris for his strategy of welcoming the corpse of Louis Napoleon. His votes in the Seine Province surpassed Le Drew Rollin, who was known as the "Friend of the Workers", and became the first in the Seine Province.

Everything seems to be going in a good direction.

However, illusory is illusory after all. After half a month of long waiting, the happy workers did not wait for any reform measures from the government.

Starving, they decided to take action to protest to the National Assembly again.

On June 15, a group of workers rushed in front of the National Assembly, and the police guarding the National Assembly were disarmed by the workers.

The originally peaceful National Assembly became chaotic because of the emergence of workers.

The workers clarified their origins to members of the National Assembly and hoped that the National Assembly would take their demands seriously.

Perhaps because of the large number of workers, the members of the National Assembly pushed Thiers out of negotiations.

In order to stabilize the workers, Thiers pretended to agree to all the suggestions of the workers.

The workers, who believed in the justice of the National Assembly, left satisfied.

Although General Gulden, who came later, led the National Guard to arrest some workers, he was fired and left after losing points in the National Assembly.

After this time, the National Assembly lost the last shred of patience with the workers.

Under the impetus of Thiers and others, Cavaignac, who served as the governor of Algeria and returned to Paris to report on his duties, was elected as the Minister of War of the French Republic.

The iron-blooded butcher would become the object of hatred of the working class of Paris.

Once the executioner is ready, the next step is action.

Under the authorization of the National Assembly, Cavaignac secretly transferred more than 50,000 troops from the Seine and its nearby provinces to the suburbs of Paris.

As soon as the order of the National Assembly came, they would rush to Paris.

On June 20, everything was ready except for kicking out the pesky ruling council.

Under the proposal of the Legislative Falou from the Party of Order, the National Assembly decided to agree with Theo from the Falou after a heated discussion.

The newspaper "Concerning the Dissolution of the National Assembly" appeared in Paris with dignity.

Workers looked angrily at what was said in the so-called republican newspaper "National", unwilling to believe that the government they had fought so hard for in February would abandon them in just four months.

On June 25th, a massive parade began. Nearly 30,000 workers participated in the parade. The whole of Paris seemed to be captured in an instant. The eyes of the workers are full of fear and disgust. In their eyes, these workers are not people who breathe with them and have a better fate. They are the parasites of the whole Paris, the rioters who destroy their peace.

The workers marched fearlessly under the disgusted eyes of the bourgeoisie. They came to the Paris City Hall and asked Paris to give them an explanation.

However, what awaited them was not the mediators of the government, but a cold notice.

The notice said: According to the unanimous consent of the National Assembly and the ruling committee, the national factory will be disbanded, the young and middle-aged people in the national factory will be incorporated into the army, and the remaining personnel will be sent to other provinces to work.

This notice is not so much a notice,

Rather, it is a declaration of war from a bourgeois government.

It was not the so-called aristocrats who issued this proclamation, but a group of scholars, psychologists, poets, who should have stood on the same front as the working people, but now they have become potential executioners who want the workers' lives.

When the workers were about to negotiate with the ruling committee, the mayor of Paris, Maraste, met with the representatives elected by the workers. The workers' representatives told Marastre that if the government did not revoke the order, they would start a revolution like the February Revolution. Another revolution.

The threat from the workers' representatives was not taken seriously by Malast. He told the workers' representatives in an arrogant manner that either the workers should obey the government's order to dissolve themselves, or the government should force them to dissolve.

The second condition does not have the preferential treatment of the first condition.

[After this incident, Malaster became the speaker of the National Assembly. 】

"Sir, then we will defend our rights in our own way!" The worker's representative issued an ultimatum to Marast with trembling lips.

Marast, who has learned from some way that the army is stationed, will certainly not be afraid of the threat of the workers. Once the workers start to wait for them, it will be 50,000 troops to cooperate with the thunder of the National Guard.

Marast continued to speak to the workers in a haughty tone: "You are welcome!"

The workers' representatives led the workers to leave, and they wanted to use this last moment to mobilize.

The National Assembly is also not idle, and a dictatorial proposal to suspend the transfer of the powers of the ruling council to Cavaignac is being voted on by the party of Order.

It was Bastide, who succeeded Lamartine as French foreign minister, who put forward this proposal.

[Bastide: A republican right-winger, who succeeded Lamartine as Minister of Foreign Affairs in early June, and is also the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Cavaignac dictator government. 】

The Party of Order and the republican right unanimously agreed to the proposal to suspend the ruling council, and at the same time announced the appointment of Cavaignac as the ruling party, who is currently the only ruling party in France.

After the meeting, the Bonapartists gathered in Princess Mathilde's private residence to conspire.

"Your Highness is right! Those guys are really going to attack them!" Pessini said excitedly.

"Yeah! I didn't expect them to be able to bear it so soon!" Roue also said with emotion, the peace lasted less than half a month, and another revolution was about to be born.

"My brother didn't say anything, what should I do next?" Princess Mathilde asked.

As Pierre Bonaparte's intention to replace Jerome Bonaparte as leader of Bonaparte was thwarted, Jerome Bonaparte the Elder had no intention of Bonaparte's small group and helped his younger brother Mathilde Bonaparte became the backbone of the French Bonaparte faction.

"His Highness told us in the letter to restrain ourselves during the martial law period, and not let them find out that we missed it."

"Ruet, let all the Bonapartists try to keep out of the government's sight during this time."

"yes!"
