Make France Great Again

Facing Jerome Bonaparte's explanation, which was too adequate, Pessini knew that he could no longer stop the prince whom he was loyal to.

The stubborn prince has made up his mind to go to Rome, and no words or difficulties can make him shrink back.

Pessini sighed and said: "Your Highness, I do not agree with you to go to Rome at this time in principle. Since you insist on going to Rome, please be careful. The current Papal State is not as stable as before. It comes from France. Revolutionary fanaticism has ignited the entire Apennine region. If His Majesty the Pope is unwilling to carry out reforms like Sardinia, I am afraid that the entire Papal State will face an unprecedented disaster."

Jerome Bonaparte nodded in agreement. He believed that the wheel of history would not deviate from the track of history with the change of the leader of the Bonaparte family. The chariot of the 19th century under the fanaticism of nationalism was sharpening its knives and crushing the Papal State.

The Roman Republic was established, and Pius IX fled.

At that time, if I help Pius IX to restore the country as the savior of Christ, Pius IX will definitely "forgive" the previous actions of the Bonaparte family after experiencing a life of ups and downs.

But before he could act as Christ's savior, he had to go to Rome to give Pope Pius IX the greatest confidence.

In fact, Jerome Bonaparte went to Rome not just to seek the support of the Pope, even if he supported his verbal praise, he shouldered the "important task" of "correcting" Pius IX's thinking.

Before the establishment of the Roman Republic, Pope Pius IX was still a thoughtful pope who was eager to reform. The pope of this period, like the king of the Sardinian Kingdom, shouldered the hope of the entire Apennine Peninsula.

However, after the March Revolution, the pope's "inaction" disappointed many revolutionaries, and the popes and revolutionaries gradually parted ways, and conflicts emerged.

After the establishment of the Roman Republic and after Pius IX escaped from the Papal State, his ideas became increasingly radical.

When he returned to the Papal States again, a pope who was willing to reform ceased to exist and was replaced by a pope with conservative and radical ideas.

The pope and the Apennine masses were completely separated at that time, and the French garrison had to guard against radicals when they were stationed in Rome.

To make matters worse, the pope's thoughts further affected the clerical faction in France, and the clerical faction that went to extremes became the bridgehead of the ultra-conservative forces, which undoubtedly dealt a fatal blow to the Bonapartists caught in the middle.

In order to prevent history from repeating itself, Jerome Bonaparte must "correct" the pope's extreme thinking.

After all, it is the responsibility of being a "filial son of God" to properly correct the Pope's mistakes.

"Don't worry! I believe in Captain Letty's ability and loyalty!" Jerome Bonaparte patted Persini's shoulder and said in relief: "Besides, the conflict in the Papal State has not really erupted yet!"

"When do you think they will explode?" Persini asked curiously.

"It depends on when Venice and Lombardy are conquered by the Austrian Empire!" Jerome Bonaparte responded without thinking.

In his memory, after the "Italian" coalition forces headed by the Sardinian Dynasty were repulsed for the first time, the Papal States, who were unwilling to continue the war, transferred back the vanguard troops they had originally sent.

The strong national sentiment made the revolutionaries want to continue the war, which naturally conflicted with the Pope.

Then came the revolution.

"Conquering Venice and Lombardy? This is impossible!" Pessini asked suspiciously: "I read in the newspaper that the Sardinian army has trapped the Austrian army! Now the Austrian Empire is planning negotiations!"

"Negotiations are just a trick to bluff!" Jerome Bonaparte said with a sneer, "They are just using various methods to win themselves time to dispatch troops! Now Austria The supreme military leader of the Empire in Lombardy and Venice was Radetzky, the Chief of Staff of the Allied Forces.

Count on that old guy to compromise with the Sardinian Dynasty! Unless my uncle is resurrected! "

"Huh? But I heard that the Austrian diplomatic ambassador has discussed..." Pesini still couldn't believe it. The war has reached this point, and it is reasonable for the Austrian Empire to be subdued.

After all, the Hungarian and Czech rebellious parties in the Austrian Empire involved a large part of Austria's energy.

"Pesini, believe me! The government of the Austrian Empire has only fallen into a temporary schizophrenia. Once a strongman takes the stage, the Austrian Empire will soon return to normal!" Jerome Bonaparte responded confidently.

"Strongman?" Persini really couldn't think of anyone else who could save the messy Austrian Empire from the quagmire.

Jerome Bonaparte doesn't want to dwell on the issues between Austria and Italy. If we talk about it in detail, I'm afraid it will start from the Vienna Conference.

Not only the Italian issue, but even the entire turbulent 19th century issue needs to be opened from that meeting.

"In short, as long as the Austrian Empire does not counterattack for a day, Rome will not be in chaos! Once the Austrian Empire's counterattack begins, the suppressed conservatives and revolutionaries in Rome will clash. At that time, revolution will follow." Gero M. Bonaparte summed it up.

After Jerome Bonaparte's analysis, Pessini finally had confidence in Jerome Bonaparte's going to Rome. Out of caution, he cautiously warned: "Your Highness, you should be more careful. For good!"

"I see! When I arrive in Rome, I will ask Letty to recruit some guards!" Jerome Bonaparte said casually.

After speaking, the two went upstairs together and entered the room where Louis Napoleon's body was kept.

Looking at the embalmed Louis Napoleon, Jerome Bonaparte gave Persini the order to pack.

Persini, who had taken the order, left the room to search for a sliding coffin that would fit the body of Louis Napoleon.

Jerome Bonaparte, who stayed alone in Louis Napoleon's "mortuary", looked at his cousin with tears in his eyes and said briskly: "Cousin, it's easy for you to go! But, the Bonaparte family In the future, I will be required to resist! The Party of Order, the Republican Party, the Montagne... none of them are easy-going lamps! Leave all your brains to me..."

Jerome Bonaparte rambled on for more than ten minutes, closed his eyes, made a standard Christian farewell etiquette, and muttered in a low voice: "I hope you are the spirit in heaven, bless me, and bless the Bonaparte family at the same time!"
