Make France Great Again

Except for Jerome Bonaparte, no one would know that the sudden death of Louis Napoleon caused the whole of Europe to move forward along the radically planned historical line, and a layer of unknown haze shrouded Jerome's heart.

Jerome realized that he had to be more careful with every move. The "pillar" of Bonaparte's family died prematurely, and he had to become the new "pillar" to support the followers of Bonaparte. .

Looking at the dead body of his cousin lying motionless on the bed, Jerome immediately gave the first order: "Pescini!"

"Yes!" Pescini responded immediately.

"My cousin's body can't exist for too long, so can you cremate my cousin's body!" Jerome Bonaparte asked Persini.

As soon as this remark came out, the faces of all the people present changed slightly.

Persini's expression was a little stiff.

Crying into tears, Miss Howard accused Jerome angrily and said, "You want to burn your cousin's body before his body is cold!"

Facing Howard's angry accusations, Jerome Bonaparte realized that there is no tradition of cremation in Europe.

The Catholic Church even believes that cremation is a disrespect to the corpse, and it is a despicable act to prevent the corpse from completing the "resurrection".

Even the United Kingdom, headed by the Anglican Church, only made cremation glorious at the end of the 19th century.

In 1848, European countries were unwilling to cremate the dead.

I was negligent!

Jerome, who was still thinking in the modern society, glanced at the disgruntled Miss Howard, and then at the Bonapartists with different expressions, acknowledging his mistake decisively.

The expressions of Miss Howard and the Bonapartists changed for the better.

Since cremation was not an option, Jérôme considered embalming his cousin's body to some extent.

The technology of embalming has become a mature process from Egypt thousands of years ago to the present. Jerome's uncle (Louis Napoleon called his uncle) Emperor Napoleon did embalming after his death, and then made it available for people to visit. .

It is said that he seemed to have been cut by someone, and Jerome mourned for a while in his heart for his uncle, who had never masked his face.

Persini obeyed Jerome Bonaparte's order and was going to look for a qualified embalming master at dawn the next day.

"Where are you taking Louis?" The clever Miss Howard quickly realized Jerome Bonaparte's plan.

Jerome Bonaparte said in a sad tone: "Cousin is going back to France! That's his home! He is a hero of the French Republic, and a hero should be enshrined in the Invalides!"

hero? Invalides?

Miss Howard didn't know what Jerome wanted to do, but the woman's sixth sense reminded her that the guy in front of her seemed to be making a fuss about Louis' body.

But she was nothing more than Louis Napoleon's lover, and she had no right to prevent the decision made by Jerome Bonaparte, a well-deserved relative.

After a brief conclusion about the disposition of his cousin's body, Jerome Bonaparte smiled and said to everyone present: "Everyone has been tired for a few days! Go back and rest first! Just let me guard here. "

Pessini and others insisted that they also guard the body of Louis Napoleon, and Jerome Bonaparte could only agree to their request.

Everyone worked together to take off Louis Napoleon's clothes and put on his favorite military uniform from the First Empire period. This military uniform was the clothes he wore when he staged a coup in Boulogne. By the way, he helped Louis Napoleon wipe his body , covered him with a tricolor cloth symbolizing the French national flag, embroidered with a soaring eagle.

This is the national flag that Louis Napoleon wanted to hang over France even in his dreams, and now he can only cover it on himself.

After finishing all this, Jerome and others stood around Louis Napoleon quietly watching the flag covering Napoleon III.

On this day, no one rested in the entire Louis Napoleon mansion, and the torrential rain stopped around 5 o'clock, and the dark clouds that enveloped the urban area of ​​London were blown elsewhere by the strong wind.

At 7 o'clock in the morning on May 9th, the eastern sky finally turned white, and the fiery red sun slowly rose, and the sunlight shone through the glass on the body of Louis Napoleon.

Seeing this, Pescini quickly closed the curtains, and the sunlight could only shine on the bedside through the curtains.

Time passed to 9:00 am again, and the number of gentlemen on the street gradually increased. They wore tall hats and held a walking stick made of unknown wood in their hands, walking leisurely on St. James Street.

Pessini is also preparing to set off to find a famous embalming master in the London area. This time, it is Tai Lan who is driving the carriage beside Pessini.

Just after Persini and Tyran left, Doctor James came to inquire about Louis Napoleon's situation as usual.

The moment he opened the door, he saw the national flag covering the body of Louis Napoleon, and the sad faces of Jerome and the others.

Doctor James came to Jerome Bonaparte with a serious face and said some comforting words to Jerome.

Jerome Bonaparte also thanked Dr. James for coming.

"I'm just doing my job faithfully! Besides, your cousin's illness didn't get better because of my treatment! Speaking of which, I'm ashamed to be a doctor!" The disappearance of life (or the dissipation of money?) Doctor James sighed and asked Jerome about his plans.

Jerome told him "sincerely" that he would bring his cousin back to France and then participate in the French elections.

Dr. James, who heard that he wanted an answer, comforted Jerome again and left in a hurry.

Looking at the background of Dr. James leaving in a hurry, Jerome showed a triumphant smile on his face.

On the other hand, Persini and Tyran also invited the best embalming experts in London. After the two sides negotiated a price of 100 pounds, the doctors began to work on Louis Napoleon's corpse.

Jerome and the others no longer gathered together in the room, but left and went downstairs, leaving only Fleury to supervise the progress.

Not long after, a gorgeous carriage stopped in front of Louis Napoleon's mansion.

John Brown, the royal steward of the United Kingdom, stepped down from the carriage and knocked on the door of the mansion.

Pescini, who was in charge of opening the door, was extremely surprised when he saw John Brown. The arrival of the British royal family was something he had never expected.

"Hello, Earl Pescini!" John Brown saluted Pescini.

"Hello, Butler Brown!" Pescini nodded and lowered his eyebrows, a smile on his melancholy face.
