Make France Great Again

Chapter 91 The general election after the dust settles

Under Jérôme Bonaparte's successive showings of weakness, Thiers completely let go of his vigilance towards Jerome Bonaparte.

In Thiers' view, all he had to do was satisfy the poor imitator's desire for money to make him obey him.

He was too afraid to confront Cavaignac head-on with a proposal that had not yet been implemented, and how could he possibly contend with the Party of Order.

In the ensuing conversation, Thiers hinted to Jerome Bonaparte that he and the Party of Order would definitely support him.

After Jerome Bonaparte left happily, Thiers summoned the other members of the Party of Order again: Odilon Barrot and Count Morel.

Thiers told them the whole conversation of Jerome Bonaparte's visit today.

"Mr. Bonaparte is obviously much more controllable than Mr. Dikrado. Our Mr. Dikrado is eager to bite us back after the election. It seems that he has forgotten who pushed him up in the first place! "There was a trace of anger in Thiers' angry words.

"Cavaignac is really over the top! I heard that he is still in line with the senior generals in the army to get their support, and that guy Changarnier is about to be won over by him!" One's Odilon Barro frowned slightly.

"Some guys don't know how much they are when they become dictators!" Earl Morley's tone was also a little annoyed. Cavaignac's recent series of behaviors obviously made them very angry. He turned his attention to Odilon Barrot : "Mr. Barrow, can I trouble you to go to General Changarnier's residence and tell him not to forget which side he is on!"

"I see!" Odilon Barot nodded, got up and went to Changarnier's residence.

After Odilon Barrot left, Count Morel turned his attention to Thiers: "Mr. Thiers, since you think that Jerome Bonaparte is easier to control than Cavaignac, then do it." Go! As one of the founders of the party of Order, this is your right!"

After all, Count Morel also left Thiers' residence.

With the unanimous consent of the three leaders of the Party of Order, Thiers, Morel, and Odilon Barrot, the Party of Order decided to put Jérôme Bonaparte in the position of president as a puppet.

In the following decades, whenever Thiers thought of this afternoon, he couldn't help but want to slap himself twice.

...

On October 17, Changarnier's estrangement made Cavaignac realize that he might no longer be able to rely on the army. Unwilling, Cavaignac once again submitted a proposal to the National Assembly on restricting voters' property. The National Assembly rejected Cavaignac's proposal again with 50 votes against 700 votes.

This time was Cavaignac's last proposal in Parliament. Since then, Cavaignac has never appeared in the National Assembly until the day of the inauguration of the new president.

It was also on this day that Jerome Bonaparte entered the National Assembly for the first time as a member of the National Assembly.

Adhering to the principle of saying more and making mistakes, saying less and making mistakes.

From the moment Jerome Bonaparte entered the National Assembly, he had made up his mind to play the role of a transparent member of the parliament before the results of the general election were completely settled.

For this reason, he also deliberately chose a remote corner away from the rostrum to participate in every National Assembly without saying a word.

After each National Assembly, Jerome Bonaparte would always gather the Bonapartists together and ask them to report on the progress of their work.

As for Persini, since Cavaignac threatened the upstream and downstream industrial chain of the "Bonaparte" under Jerome Bonaparte, the "Bonaparte" has changed from a daily newspaper to a weekly newspaper. , the content is much richer than before, and the price of five centimes per newspaper has also attracted many users to subscribe to the newspaper.

It's just that the newspaper is still in a state of sustainable losses.

As for Letty, the slogan of "Make France Great Again" has spread throughout Paris due to the fact that the Bonapartists are running around in every corner of Paris day and night, and Jerome Bonaparte's reputation has risen again. Of course, while Jerome Bonaparte's fame rose, it also brought a certain negative impression.

The "National" once ridiculed Jerome Bonaparte as the "paper president" in response to the behavior of posting propaganda slogans on the streets of the Bonaparte party.

The angry Pessini and others wanted to have a "debate" with those in the "National" through the newspaper, but they were stopped by Jerome Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte cheerfully looked at the four big words "President on paper" on the front page of the "National National" and joked with a smile: "Since the colleagues of the "National" are willing to do publicity for me at their own expense, , why don’t we go along with the flow! The paper president is the paper president, and we still need to be more grounded!”

"But..." Persini was a little unwilling.

"Relax! They won't be able to jump for long!" Jerome Bonaparte patted Pessini on the shoulder: "It won't be long before it's our turn!"

On November 7, the constitution of the French Republic was finally introduced amidst Cavaignac's deliberate delays.

The constitution stipulates that the president of the French Republic, as the military commander, enjoys the highest military power, diplomatic power and the right to formulate laws, and at the same time, he can dissolve the cabinet without the consent of the National Assembly... The term of office of this imperial president is only For four years, in order to limit this privilege, the constitution specifically stipulates that the president, as the supreme military commander, cannot directly command the army and cannot dissolve the National Assembly. Once any president wants to dissolve the National Assembly, it will be regarded as a sentence to the country. The National Assembly holds the highest judicial power.

After the constitution is promulgated, the next step is the final voting session.

Although France is already in the middle of winter, the weather this year is exceptionally good.

Nearly 7.5 million voters, or more than 76 percent of voters, participated in the polls.

Although the number of voters was less than in April, these people were enough to lift Jerome Bonaparte into the Elysee Palace.

After more than a month of voting and counting, the French provinces gathered the voting results of each province to Paris on December 8.

It took Paris another two days to count the votes in each province again, and finally announced the results on a small scale on December 10.

With an overwhelming advantage of 5.9 million votes, Jerome Bonaparte became the first president of the French Republic without any doubt. All he needs to do is wait for the inauguration ceremony of the president.

That's 400,000 more votes than its historical cousin, partly from the citizens of Paris and partly from the Bouche du Rhône, a traditional orthodox vote-house.

The hapless Cavaignac received just under 1.1 million votes.

Ludwig Rolland received 370,000 votes, Raspail received 37,000 votes, and Lamartine only received 17,000 votes.

After a four-month presidential battle, the curtain finally came to an end.
