Make France Great Again

For Jérôme Bonaparte, who had temporarily suppressed the imperial opposition, the capture of the Sevastopol Fortress was indeed news worthy of universal celebration, but the premise of all this was that the authenticity of the news itself could withstand the test. .

If there was a half-time champagne joke on the other end of the telegram, the consequences of sending the news would be much more serious than not sending it.

When the information itself was uncertain (before getting first-hand battle reports, Jérôme Bonaparte maintained a skeptical attitude, because in his impression, the historical Sevastopol Fortress was a cost-effective It took a year to capture it) and announcing the capture of Sevastopol to the people of Paris in advance was just the icing on the cake.

Once the information is proven to be a rumor, the consequences will be immeasurable.

Jérôme Bonaparte, who believed that without investigation, had no right to speak, pointed to the first telegram and ordered Niel: "When you return to the General Staff, immediately send a telegram to Constantinople asking them to capture Sevastopol in full detail!”

Speaking of this, Jerome Bonaparte paused and emphasized: "Remember every detail and don't let it go!"

"Yes!" Niel responded quickly.

Niel, who had been with Jérôme Bonaparte for a long time, understood the reason for his boss's caution, so he also fully agreed with his request for Crimea to report the details.

After all, even Niel himself had some doubts after getting the telegram that Crimea had lied about its military exploits.

"If the news is true, then you ask them to report the main personnel involved in the battle! Give credit where credit is due and demerit where demerit is due!" Jérôme Bonaparte added.

Brigadier General Niel nodded in agreement.

"As for this second telegram..." Jerome Bonaparte slapped the telegram in his hand on the table and sighed: "Tell the Constantinople Military District Hospital that we must do our best to ensure that the Saint Marshal Arnault’s life is safe! If that doesn’t work, take Marshal Saint-Arnault back to Paris for treatment! The medical conditions in Paris are much better than those in Constantinople!”

After Jerome Bonaparte said these words, he couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart.

No one knows better than him, a time traveler, that Marshal St. Arnaud is suffering from stomach cancer.

However, even though Jérôme Bonaparte had long known that Marshal Saint-Arnaud was suffering from gastric cancer, he still put Marshal Saint-Arnaud in the position of commander-in-chief of the Crimean Expeditionary Force without hesitation.

Although this position itself was fought hard by Marshal Saint-Arnault himself, there were also some considerations of Jérôme Bonaparte himself.

For Jérôme Bonaparte, a military leader like Marshal Saint-Arnault was both a subordinate and the second-ranking figure in the army. If he died of illness in Crimea, it would be a satisfactory result for both parties (Jérôme Bonaparte considered himself).

After all, Saint-Arnault's military position has reached the point where there is no title (marshal + chief of general staff).

If Saint-Arnaud did not have stomach cancer, then Jérôme Bonaparte would have to consider how to properly transfer him to another post after the war.

If given a sinecure, Saint-Arnault and the group of supporters behind him would definitely not be satisfied.

Moreover, Saint-Arnault himself is also a former Minister of War. Among all departments, the only positions that can be slightly higher than the Minister of War are the Secretary of State, the Lord of the Seal, and the Speaker of the Legislative Council.

Two of these three positions (Secretary of State and Lord of the Seal) involve the power to formulate national policies. Letting a military chief serve as the country's decision-maker is simply sending France into the pit of militarism.

Even if Marshal Saint-Arnaud really showed his corresponding abilities, Jérôme Bonaparte would not be happy at all, but would be even more frightened.

Why couldn't a general who could both fight and govern the country kick him out and become the ruler of France?

Others don’t understand the nature of the French Empire, but Jérôme Bonaparte can’t!

The current French Empire claims to the outside world that it is a democratic empire with a universal suffrage system. In fact, it is a semi-democratic regime with a bayonet wrapped in a tricolor flag.

No leader of a communist regime wants his original behavior to be copied by his successors, and Jérôme Bonaparte, who wields a bayonet, is no exception. He needs the bayonet of France to support his rule, and he is also afraid of it. The bayonet turned around and stabbed himself.

To sum up, if Marshal Saint-Arnaud did not have stomach cancer, Jerome Bonaparte would only have the following three situations.

Let Saint-Arnault continue to stay in the position of Chief of General Staff: the General Staff has completely become Saint-Arnault's one-word hall.

Send Saint Arnaud to the Senate (the Senate serves as a lifelong senator): Outsiders talk about His Majesty's killing of donkeys, which is not conducive to the unity of the army.

Transferred from the General Staff to serve as Minister of State/Privy Seal: His ability is poor, and the emperor is worried about the country. If the ability is too good, the emperor will have to worry about his position.

Marshal Saint-Arnaud's stomach cancer effectively avoided possible conflicts between the two parties, and his initiative to go to the Near East was equivalent to accelerating his own death, making the conflict disappear invisible.

Now Marshal Saint-Arnault only has a positive image in Jerome Bonaparte's heart. Everything he did before was subconsciously beautified by Jerome Bonaparte. He feels guilty about Marshal Saint-Arnaud. And with that comes guilt.

"Hey!" Jerome Bonaparte sighed again and blamed himself: "It's all my fault! If I had known this, I wouldn't have let the marshal go to the Near East!"

Niel, who did not understand Jerome Bonaparte's inner thoughts, immediately felt admiration spontaneously after hearing Jerome Bonaparte's self-blame.

As a subordinate, what you fear most is that your boss will throw the blame away from you. There are very few bosses who can take the initiative to take the blame.

Not to mention, a boss like Jérôme Bonaparte who takes the initiative to share the worries of his subordinates.

"Your Majesty, this is not your fault!" Niel said caringly for Jérôme Bonaparte: "Maybe the marshal himself accidentally contracted some disease!"

"Hey! No matter what, it's because I, the emperor, didn't think well!" Jérôme Bonaparte sighed again, and then took out a note worth 100,000 francs from the drawer, "Nière, can you Please, before you return to the staff, go to the Marshal's house and give this to the Marshal's family! If they ask you who gave the check, just say that the Marshal sent it from Crimea! "

Niel took the bill and responded to Jérôme Bonaparte with a solemn expression: "Don't worry! I will definitely complete the task you gave me!"

Jérôme Bonaparte was about to say something when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the grandfather clock in the corner. The grandfather clock showed that it was already 5:10 pm, which was already postponed 5 hours before the meeting time agreed between him and Count Argu, the president of the Bank of France. Minutes later, Jérôme Bonaparte quickly changed his words and said, "Okay! Niel, you should have nothing else to report!"

"No more! Your Majesty!" Niel shook his head and responded to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Then our conversation will end here first!" Jérôme Bonaparte pointed to the grandfather clock and explained to Niel: "I still have a meeting to be held here, so I won't keep you!"

"Sorry to bother you! Your Majesty!" Niel quickly saluted Jerome Bonaparte, then stood up from opposite Jerome Bonaparte and left the study.

Standing at the door of the study, Mokar, who had not seen any movement in the study for a long time, looked at the pocket watch in his hand and waited anxiously for any movement in the study.

Just when Mokar was about to knock on the door to remind Jérôme Bonaparte to attend the meeting, the door of the study room opened, and Niel's figure appeared in front of Mokar.

"I've kept you waiting for so long!" Niel said subconsciously, looking at Mokar waiting outside the door.

"Nothing!" Mokar also shook his head and responded.

"Mokar, help me see off General Niel!" Jérôme Bonaparte's voice came from the study.

"Yes!" Mokar responded quickly, and then smiled at Niel.

Niel and Mokar walked side by side from the study on the second floor to the lobby on the first floor, without anyone saying a word in the middle.

Mokar, who was standing in the open space outside the Tuileries Palace, watched General Niel leave in a carriage, then turned around and walked quickly up the steps.

When Mokar entered the hall of the Tuileries Palace again, Jérôme Bonaparte actually appeared in the hall.

"Your Majesty!" Mokar responded respectfully.

"How is the carriage ready? Is it ready to go?" Jerome Bonaparte asked in a calm tone.

"The carriage has been prepared for you!" Mokar responded quickly.

"Then what are you waiting for! Let's go!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Mokar.

"Please come with me!" Mokar hurriedly took Jérôme Bonaparte to the side entrance of the Tuileries Palace.

A gorgeous double-covered carriage appeared in front of Jérôme Bonaparte. Surrounding the carriage were two teams of dragoons wearing silver breastplates. Find Shuyuan www.zhaｏshuyuan． com

"As for making it so luxurious?" Jérôme Bonaparte frowned and asked Mokar.

"Your Majesty! I think this is very necessary!" Mokar said plausibly to Jerome Bonaparte: "If you don't do this, how can you show the power of the empire!"

Faced with Mokar's fallacy that "gorgeousness is powerful", Jérôme Bonaparte did not make any refutation.

From a certain perspective, luxury can also enhance people's cohesion and make them forget about politics.

After all, the entertainment field is not developed enough in this era!

Jérôme Bonaparte and Mokar left one after another and entered the carriage that had been prepared for a long time. The carriage carried the master and servant to the Elysee Palace.
