Make France Great Again

Chapter 87 Cavaignac

Jerome Bonaparte believes that there is no love for no reason in the world, and there is no pie for no reason.

The position of Minister of Public Works clearly has a price tag on it.

"As long as you withdraw from this election, I can assure you that you will still be able to sit in this position in the next election!" Cavaignac set out his own conditions: "Believe me, the position of Minister of Public Works can give you and your Friends bring unimaginable benefits!"

Jerome Bonaparte quietly waited for Cavaignac to end.

"What do you think of my proposal?" Cavaignac looked at Jerome Bonaparte and added: "You are still young! Start with the minister!"

"Cavaignac is in power!" Jerome Bonaparte still had a smile on his face, but his tone was even more indifferent: "Thank you for your kindness, I don't think I am qualified for the position of public minister."

"You can start with the secretary!" Cavaignac, who is good at going straight to the point, didn't seem to understand Jerome Bonaparte's meaning, he kindly said "for the sake of Jerome Bonaparte".

"Mr. Ruling, it is not in line with the democratic spirit of France to blatantly confer French public objects privately!" Jerome Bonaparte simply did not go around, he clenched his fists and said in a strong tone: "I can choose whatever position I want. Go for it, you don't need your charity! Put away your charity face!"

"Why bother!" Cavaignac was obviously unwilling to say: "I can tell you a piece of news clearly. In the constitution formulated by the upcoming constitutional committee, it is stipulated that the term of office of the French president is four years. Not allowed to be re-elected! Do you know what that means?"

Jerome Bonaparte Cavaignac, who was still calm, seemed to reveal the calmness he already knew in his eyes.

"This means that no matter who you are, you can only serve as the president for four years!" Cavaignac continued: "Jerome Bonaparte, you are still young, and you should have experienced more tempering before you can become the president!"

"Cavaignac is in power, have you finished?" Jerome Bonaparte asked the military leader in front of him who was blinded by the desire for power word by word.

"I hope you can consider my suggestion! After another term of minister, you will be the president! You can gain more!" Cavaignac said unwillingly.

"Ruet sees you off!" Jerome Bonaparte didn't want to flirt with this guy in front of him for a moment, "Cavaignac is in power, if you really want to become president, just defeat me by voting, not Use this method! Even if I don't participate in the election, can you guarantee that your vote will be higher than that of Ledru Roland and Lamartine?"

"Monsieur in charge, please!" Roue said to Cavaignac, holding out his hand.

"You..." Cavaignac pointed at Jerome Bonaparte and turned to leave.

Fleury, who was carrying a whole set of tea sets, watched Cavaignac leave, then looked at Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Highness, this..."

"Put it here!" Jerome Bonaparte knocked on the wooden table made of nanmu and said to Fleury.

"Hmm!" Fleury put the tea set on the wooden table.

Jerome Bonaparte brewed a pot of good tea by himself and drank it for himself, with a contemptuous smile on his mouth: "I almost ruined this pot of tea!"

...

On September 4th, more than ten days have passed since Cavaignac's visit.

In the past ten days, Jérôme Bonaparte won consecutive battles, and votes from the five provinces of France voted for him again. At the same time, under the call of Victor Hugo, many citizens of the Seine Province also voted. It was given to Jerome Bonaparte. Jerome Bonaparte's votes broke through the 140,000 mark in one fell swoop, leaving Victor Hugo, who was originally second, behind. The door was opened to Jérôme Bonaparte, who, as a member of the department of Seine, had free access to the National Assembly.

While all the Bonapartists were delighted with Jerome Bonaparte's remarkable achievements, a proposal came out again from the National Assembly that made all the Bonapartists gnash their teeth.

For a moment, the entire temporary conference hall was smelled of gunpowder, and the dark clouds outside the window not only shrouded Paris, but also shrouded the hearts of all Bonapartists. Every Bonapartist's face revealed There was a murderous look, like a group of gangsters gathering together.

"That bastard Cavaignac! How dare he!" Letty, Jerome Bonaparte's hard-core henchman, yelled: "He doesn't even look in the mirror to see what kind of virtue he is!"

Eugene Rouay did not choose to curse like Letty did, and lowered his head in thought.

It turned out that in the National Assembly this morning, Cavaignac's old-fashioned rhetoric in the National Assembly demanded that the threshold of voters be limited, and some voters who had lost their national dignity should not be allowed to vote.

The already undisputed topic was brought up again by Cavaignac. However, this time the voting results were beyond Jerome Bonaparte's expectations. The National Assembly rejected the proposal by 350 to 400 votes.

Although the National Assembly rejected the proposal by a majority, the 300 extra votes behind the proposal were like a sword of Damocles hanging over Jerome Bonaparte's head, capable of mobilizing more than 300 Apart from the party of Order, the MPs voted for it at the same time, and no other party could be found.

[In the National Assembly, the proposal can only be passed if more than two-thirds of the votes are passed. 】

"The most important thing is what's going on with the Party of Order?" Jerome Bonaparte also became serious.

If Cavaignac has been insisting that voters are not qualified, it is difficult to guarantee that those who are not determined will vote for Cavaignac.

"Your Highness, I also heard news that Cavaignac seems to be planning something with Changarnier?" Fleury said cautiously to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Where did the news come from!" Jerome Bonaparte turned his gaze to Fleury and said.

"General Opple!" Fleury responded decisively: "General Opple told me that Cavaignac is replacing a group of soldiers with bad thinking and behavior in Paris, replacing them with those guys in Africa!"

"Troublesome season!" Jerome Bonaparte muttered to himself, pressing his temple.

Although Cavaignac did not choose to take the path of a coup in the original history, it is also not ruled out that he will jump the wall in a hurry.

Changarnier, an Orleanist general mixed with an extreme republican consul, is even more intriguing.

"Your Highness, do you think the Party of Order deliberately used Cavaignac as a weapon?" Eugene Rouet raised his head and said to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Then what is their purpose?" Jerome Bonaparte said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Their purpose cannot be me!"

"Very likely!" Eugene Rouay tried to connect everything together: "Your Highness, do you still remember what happened in Lyon?"

"You mean Marshal Bijou?" Jerome Bonaparte responded again.

"Yes!" Eugène Rouet nodded in response: "Your Highness, you haven't noticed that your prestige in Paris is even higher! If I were them, I would definitely give you a wake-up call! Cavaignac's proposal is nothing more than It is they who express their attitude through the National Assembly, so..."

"So we have to talk to them!"
