Make France Great Again

Chapter 90: Thiers Enters the Set

"No no no! Monsieur Thiers!"

Jerome Bonaparte continued to put on a polite face and said to Thiers: "The fate of France does not depend on the National Assembly, but on you and your friends! To be precise, it is where you are. political party!"

Jerome Bonaparte's blunt response made Thiers, who originally wanted to communicate with him with political nonsense, even more despised the rude Italian in front of him.

A fool with a Bonaparte aura.

The cynicism turned into cynicism, and the smile on Thiers' face did not diminish at all. He unhurriedly opened the coffee storage pot placed on the round table, and the steaming coffee exuded a rich aroma that wafted to Jérôme Beaux. before Nabal.

"Would you like some!" Thiers scooped up a spoonful of coffee with an aluminum spoon and put it in the cup.

"No need!" The corner of Jerome Bonaparte's mouth twitched slightly. It was the first time he saw Thiers drinking coffee like this.

Thiers, who took a sip of coffee, put down his cup unhurriedly and shook his head: "Mr. Bonaparte, no one can influence the will of the National Assembly. The will of the National Assembly can only be determined by all French citizens! I What my party and my party can do is to convey the will of those citizens who cannot speak out to the government through our mouths. Besides, the National Assembly has not only us, but also the republicans and mountain parties! They also represent How can it be said that the National Assembly depends on us, without the will of the majority of the people?"

Jerome Bonaparte was a little annoyed by Thiers' unnutritious official talk and a hint of arrogance. However, if he was angry, he was angry. Jerome Bonaparte knew that it was not time to turn against the Party of Order, so he could only accompany Thiers to continue the game.

"Member Thiers, you should know that we are not dealing with those fellows of the Republicans and the Montagne, they just want to mess up this beautiful France, while we are committed to making the whole of France more beautiful and rich! The revolution cannot solve the problem, we must respect the existing order in France!" Jerome Bonaparte specially emphasized the word "we" in order to temporarily bind himself to the Party of Order.

"Huh? Mr. Bonaparte, since you have the confidence to lead the entire French revival, why come to me!" Thiers responded to Jerome Bonaparte in a mocking tone.

"Member Thiers!" Jerome Bonaparte spread his hands to show his frankness: "To be honest, if France still has universal suffrage, I have a great chance of becoming the president of France. Even if France really wants to give If voters add a wealth threshold, I am not without a chance."

"Then Mr. Bonaparte can quietly wait for the result of the general election!" Thiers' tone remained the same as his mocking tone.

"But I'm not sure!" Jerome Bonaparte simply pretended to lie flat on the ground and said, "And the Cavaignac administration came to me some time ago, and he told me that if I could give up He will make me Minister of Public Works if I run for the elections! If the Party of Order does not want to support me for the presidency, I will consider the opinion of the Consul of Cavaignac. There is nothing wrong with the Minister of Public Works! To be elected President, I have already owed a lot of debts, and I have to pay back!"

Jérôme Bonaparte's naked threat of interests made Thiers, who thought he was sure of victory, feel a sense of tension in his heart.

If Jerome Bonaparte really promised Cavaignac to give up the election, then Cavaignac's biggest competitor would disappear, and he would surely become the next President of the Republic.

What kind of attitude would he have towards the Party of Order when he became the President of the Republic at that time, and would he remove all the Party of Order from the parliament.

Thiers, who substituted himself into Cavaignac's perspective, instantly got the answer. Don't look at Cavaignac's appearance of obeying the command of the National Assembly.

Once he succeeds as President of France, the first thing he will do is to clean up the party of order in the parliament.

At that time, I am afraid that I will be like a fish on the chopping board at the mercy of others.

"I don't think you need to make a decision so quickly. The property restriction proposal has not yet been passed. Besides, even if it is successfully passed, don't you say that Mr. Bonaparte still has a chance of winning?"

Thiers who "figured it out" hurriedly appeased Jerome Bonaparte. His purpose was to beat Jerome Bonaparte so that he would be more obedient to the Party of Order. If you feel fear in your heart, wouldn't it mean that if you steal chickens, you will lose a lot of rice.

"Monsieur Thiers, I can wait, but my series of debts will not give me a chance!" Jerome Bonaparte leaned against the back of the chair, making a rogue posture: "I need money, I need Lots of money! If I lose the election, those debts will probably kill me! There is no way I can win or lose an election without paying attention to my debt! If you and your party If it can't meet my needs, then I have to go to Cavaignac's side now!"

From this moment on, it was no longer Jerome Bonaparte who asked Thiers, but Thiers who asked Jerome Bonaparte.

"The Cavaignac government also said that if I could support him, he promised that the Ministry of Public Works would be the busiest of all departments during my tenure as Minister! This will give me the opportunity to pay off my debts!" Jerome Bonaparte showed a greedy expression, "And he also said that he would support me in the next presidential election!"

Damn Cavaignac, he's going to kill us all!

Although Thiers' heart has already set off a turbulent sea, his expression is still calm as usual.

Thiers wanted to take another sip of coffee, but when his hand touched the coffee cup, he found that the hand holding the coffee trembled involuntarily.

"Mr. Bonaparte, as an old man who has been in the officialdom in Paris for many years! I need to tell you a little life experience!" Thiers changed his attitude again and said in a serious tone.

"Say it!" Jerome Bonaparte responded with a sincere expression.

"In Paris, never believe any promises from a politician!" Thiers went on to emphasize: "Especially a politician born in the army! They are good at using cannons and they have no integrity at all."

"But I don't have the confidence to win him under the condition of restricting property! I can't ignore my debt problem. Compared with power, I value money more now!" Jerome Bonaparte continued to wave Put on a greedy face.

The impression of cowardice and greed finally made the balance in Thiers' heart tilt towards Jerome Bonaparte. Compared with a strong Cavaignac, people like Jerome Bonaparte are obviously more in line with their interests.

After much consideration, Thiers decided to make a final test on Jerome Bonaparte: "Mr. Jerome Bonaparte, if you take that position, how will you handle government affairs!"

Jerome Bonaparte showed a pious expression: "If I am lucky enough to be the President of the French Republic, I will never forget your kindness! I will choose a highly respected member of the Party of Order to serve as the Prime Minister of the government. service!"

Afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte paused and continued: "It would be great if we can get all the eye-catching projects when we are president! Of course, the highest annual salary of the president can be adjusted appropriately." Higher, so I have some savings after paying off my debts!"

A greedy, cowardly fellow is a perfect puppet!
