On July 3, 1848, the vigorous June Revolution ended with Cavaignac's ruthless suppression. The workers had no wind to wait for the social innovation they dreamed of, and they fell on the barricades of Paris ahead of time, under rifles and bayonets . The barbaric French army mercilessly drove them out of Paris, leaving them to fend for themselves.

General Cavaignac, whose hands were blooded by workers, also got his wish, ended his acting acting position and successfully became the real first ruler of France.

It's just that the term of the first ruling power is less than 5 months, and the election results will be settled in December.

At that time, Cavaignac will step down on his own. Of course, Cavaignac has another way, which is to use his current right, which is not restricted by any forces, to lead troops to dissolve the National Assembly, and he will become the first ruling in the true sense.

This is also the situation that Thiers and others in the party of order were worried about.

However, Cavaignac, who had resolved the domestic riots, obviously did not want to learn from Napoleon. Confident, he believes that his decisiveness saved France, and the whole of France should honorably vote for him in the general election in December.

But Cavaignac didn't know that from the time he took the position of the first governor, all his rights will automatically expire in December.

The party of Order could not bring another Bonaparte to power, and they were even willing to join forces with the Bonapartists in order to prevent him.

On July 8, reports about the massacre in Paris spread to Belgium and Prussia through newspapers in Paris, and also to Rome.

On this day, the weather in Rome, which has a Mediterranean climate, was exceptionally hot.

Even the people who gathered for parades in the past were unwilling to enjoy the feeling of sauna under the scorching sun. Every household opened windows for ventilation. Even so, the whole room was still like a sauna.

Many people even choose to swim in the Tiber River to counteract the effects of the scorching heat.

Jerome Bonaparte is also one of them.

However, instead of going for a swim in the Tiber, he chose a shady spot on the upper Tiber to fish.

Literally fishing.

Also accompanying him were Charles Bonaparte and his nephew Lucien Louis.

Captain Letty brought a group of temporarily hired helpers with large and small bags and placed the items needed for fishing and rocking chairs near the shade.

Jerome Bonaparte and Charles Bonaparte are fishing with a fishing rod each.

Crumbs are sprinkled in the water to attract fish to feed on.

The struggling and twisted earthworm was "ruthlessly" worn on the iron hook by Jérôme Bonaparte, thrown into the place where the bread crumbs were, and then sat on the rocking chair with peace of mind, yawned and waited for the fish to take the bait.

While hanging a ball of bait on the hook, Charles Bonaparte glanced at the lazy Jerome Bonaparte and said angrily: "Paris is in such a mess, you are quite Leisurely!"

"Huh?" Jerome Bonaparte lazily squinted his eyes and let the rocking chair swing back and forth, and the fishhook also followed the rocking chair back and forth. , As for making such a fuss!"

"you……"

Jerome Bonaparte's indifferent appearance made Charles Bonaparte extremely angry. He even doubted whether it was the right decision to hand over the ruby ​​to the Pope.

In order to comfort his cousin, Jerome Bonaparte slowly opened his eyes, and said unhurriedly: "Everything is under my control! Without Cavaignac, how could I get on stage!"

"Without Cavaignac, how would I get on stage?" Charles Bonaparte repeated Jerome Bonaparte's words again, and he looked at Jerome Bonaparte suspiciously.

Jerome Bonaparte had to explain to his cousin: "Before Cavaignac committed a tragic massacre in Paris,

The republicans enjoyed great prestige in Paris. Today, the prestige of the republic is declining with the dictatorship of Cavaignac. The selfless General Cavaignac helped the party of Order and also helped us clear the most stubborn obstacles.

The Montagne in the parliament may have long regarded General Cavaignac as a thorn in his side. Do the citizens and moderate republicans who have experienced the turmoil in Paris like the guy who bombed Paris with cannons? Cavaignac, who has lost the support of the Montagne and the citizens of Paris, let alone the whole of France, even in Paris, he is destined not to receive the support of the majority. "

Jerome Bonaparte paused, pointed to himself and said confidently: "However, I, Jerome Bonaparte, did not suppress the workers, nor did I bombard Paris with cannons. On the contrary, I will call on all walks of life to unite and survive together. Difficulties, I will use a large amount of infrastructure to prevent French workers from falling into unemployment! I also let the Catholic Church monopolize the right to education in France! I also have no experience in commanding the army like my uncle... In short, I can satisfy the needs of the entire French people Demand, what reason do I have to fail like this!"

Jerome Bonaparte's confident answer made Charles Bonaparte seem to have traveled through time and space to the era of the emperor. The emperor was so confident back then.

"However, I have a doubt!" Charles Bonaparte shook his fishing rod, and the simple buoy floating on the water plunged into the water. Quickly closed the line, and asked in his mouth: "You have satisfied the interests of everyone in France, so whose interests have been damaged?"

"No one was damaged!" Jerome Bonaparte glanced at the slightest movement of the fishing rod, he shook his head and said: "In other words, those who have been harmed will not realize that their interests have been damaged at all."

The community of interests woven by Jerome Bonaparte with lies, only the proletariat has suffered, but the proletariat has been deprived of its rights by Cavaignac.

After experiencing bloody suppression, they only had hatred for Cavaignac for a short time, and they could only use their votes to retaliate against Cavaignac after being deprived of their political rights.

A sardine is taken from a hook by Charles Bonaparte and placed in a barrel.

"Damn, do you really need the air force today?"

Jerome Bonaparte muttered something in Chinese in a low voice.

Although he is not a fisherman, the Air Force is the greatest insult to a fishing enthusiast.

Just when Jerome Bonaparte was at a loss, Captain Letty walked up to him and handed Jerome Bonaparte a letter that had not yet been split. The address of the envelope came from Rue Coussel in Paris, There is Mathilde's residence.

"I'm sorry!"

Jerome Bonaparte said apologetically to his cousin, who nodded and continued fishing.
