Make France Great Again

Chapter 68 Preparations before returning to France

In the political platform for the second round of reforms of the Papal State published in the newspaper, Jerome Bonaparte clearly felt the embarrassing situation of the Papal State's separation of hips and heads, but he had to do it as a last resort.

The reform emphasized that the Papal State should follow the trend of history and establish a system suitable for the Papal State's own national conditions, so the Papal State will implement a system of upper and lower chambers.

Members of the House of Lords will be entered by a college of cardinals nominated by Pope Pius IX and knights of the noble titles of Rome. The House of Commons is elected by all the subjects of the Papal State, and the cabinet is formed according to the proportion of the parties in the House of Commons.

If the party in the House of Commons fails to hold a majority in the House of Commons, a person appointed by Pope Pius IX will serve as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet.

Of course, Pope Pius IX can also appoint a cabinet prime minister himself.

From this political system, Jérôme Bonaparte can see that Pius IX is not willing to completely lose his rule over the secular world, otherwise he would not add a clause in the reform political program that the pope can personally appoint the cabinet s right.

Of course, since the position of the Pope is elected by the College of Cardinals, the College of Cardinals in the House of Lords seems to be just a mascot, but in fact it still faintly controls the entire Papal State.

From Jerome's point of view, the second round of political reform obviously imitated the French political reform, but because of the inherent secular and religious characteristics of the pope, a good French political reform has become a political reform in the Papal State. There are four different reforms.

Although the Pope under the second round of reforms lost some of his rights, he still holds the vast majority of the rights of the entire Papal State.

It is equivalent to changing from a reactionary autocratic monarchy to an enlightened autocratic monarchy.

The advantage of giving up some of his rights is that Pius IX can continue to win the support of the majority of Rome.

If there is no interference from external forces, such a four-faced reform will allow the Papal State to survive the dangerous European revolution smoothly.

Can all this really fulfill the wish of Pius IX?

On July 17, the first voting in the Papal States began. Pius IX and Pererino Rossi went to St. Peter's Square to announce the House of Commons to the residents of Rome, and announced to the residents of Rome that there were no members of the first cabinet. Before the election, the list of temporary cabinet members.

Pererino Rossi got his wish and was promoted to be the first interim Prime Minister of the Papal State who also served as Minister of the Interior and Foreign Affairs. Bishop Muzzarelli was also promoted to be the Minister in charge of public education, and the rest such as the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Transportation Most of them are priests, or gentlemen who are close to priests.

Although the famous nobles in Rome are dissatisfied with Pope Pius IX's appointment of cronies, but the vote is imminent, and they are unwilling to compete with Pius IX on the interim cabinet affairs.

Anyway, they are just a temporary cabinet, once they and their party are elected successfully.

Not afraid that Pius IX was unwilling to fulfill the promise.

...

On July 31, a letter from Paris came to Jerome Bonaparte via the port of Marseilles, and the person in charge of delivering the letter was none other than Persini.

Seeing the dusty servants rushing over to Persini from Paris, Jerome Bonaparte, who was sitting on the desk with his arms crossed, hurriedly stood up and gave Persini a hug and said, "Pissini, long time no see!"

"Your Highness, it's great to see you!" Pescini excitedly responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

Then, at the invitation of Jerome Bonaparte, the two sat on the sofa next to the desk.

Upon seeing this, Captain Letty hurriedly delivered two cups of coffee, a bottle of crystal cup filled with sugar cubes, and a pair of tweezers to Persini and Jerome Bonaparte.

"Sugar cube!" Jerome tweezed a sugar cube and asked Persini to add it.

"No need! Thank you!" Persini picked up the coffee and stirred it quietly with a spoon twice. The rising white water vapor continuously gushed out of the coffee under Persini's stirring, and the brown coffee gradually turned into The brown and white soldiers showed a viscous state. After stirring a few times, Pescini gently blew away the water vapor floating on the rim of the cup, and took a sip of the coffee, half of the fatigue from the exhaustion of the horses and horses instantly disappeared.

Under the effect of coffee, the energetic Pescini explained the situation in Paris to Jerome Bonaparte again.

Under the blow of Cavaignac, the whole of Paris experienced a temporary weakness, and now it has regained its strength.

Physical pain can make people shut up using physical methods, but mental pain can only be repaired with time.

After the revolution, General Cavaignac encountered strong resistance from the moderate republicans headed by Hugo. Hugo even threatened to claim that he would never support an executioner in power.

"Huh? Didn't our Dictator Dictator take action against poor Mr. Victor Hugo?" Jerome Bonaparte gloated and asked.

As a competitor of Cavaignac, he hopes that the more people who oppose Cavaignac, the better.

Doing politics means making many friends and making enemies few.

"I heard that Cavaignac has fired several times in the office and claimed to arrest Mr. Hugo!" Pessini also showed a gloating tone: "However, our Mr. Diktodo is obviously not The audacity to put Mr Hugo behind bars, who is now preparing for the December presidential election."

"I don't have the courage to carry out a coup, but I have the courage to suppress the workers! Our General Dictator is really a man who makes money on his knees!" Jerome Bonaparte continued to ridicule Cavaignac, and then he again Asked: "By the way, do you have any difficulties regarding publicity?"

"Hey...hey..." Pessini scratched his head embarrassedly and said in a low voice: "There are difficulties, but when we put up small advertisements, we will always be surrounded by a group of people, so that every time the party members are caught Princess Mathilde must be rescued if caught!"

The corner of Jerome Bonaparte's mouth twitched slightly. According to Pessini's description, a related scene had already appeared in his mind.

The propaganda of the Bonapartists actually relied on pasting small advertisements indiscriminately. Is this the progress of the times, or the "degeneration" of the Bonapartists.

"By the way, this is a letter from General Dufour!" Pessini handed the letter to Jerome Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte opened the envelope to examine the contents.

The envelope said Jérôme Bonaparte could leave for France under his guarantee.

"Go! Back to France!"
