Make France Great Again

After notifying Richard Metternich of his upcoming departure, Jérôme Bonaparte decided to hold another small family gathering at the Tuileries Palace. He ordered Mokar to bring his father to the blessed Prince Le and Princess Mathilde are invited to come to the Tuileries Palace.

Considering that his father, Prince Montfort, might be fooling around somewhere in Paris again, Jerome Bonaparte stopped Mokar again and said: "You go and inform my sister Mathilde first, and then go Looking for my father! Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Mokar nodded and responded to Jérôme Bonaparte, then turned and left the study.

Shortly after Mokar left, Jérôme Bonaparte also left the study and went to the residence of Queen Augusta.

At this time, Queen Augusta was sitting in a chair, quietly reading a collection of poems. The author of the poems was Byron, who had been dead for almost 30 years.

When Jerome Bonaparte entered the room, Queen Augusta put down the "Collected Poems of Byron" in her hand and looked at Jerome Bonaparte with a gentle smile on her face. Bonaparte said: "What's the matter? Has something happened?"

"Nothing!" Jerome Bonaparte shook his head, went straight to sit down next to Queen Augusta, held "Byron's Poems" in his hand and said with a smile: "You still read this?"

"Read two pages when you have nothing to do!" Queen Augusta glanced at Jérôme Bonaparte and pouted: "Who makes some people look at me so closely that they don't even want me to go out! "

"Aren't I afraid?" Jerome Bonaparte smiled sarcastically, then carefully stroked Queen Augusta's belly with his hand, and said affectionately: "As long as you get through this period, you can You can do whatever you want!”

Looking at Jérôme Bonaparte who was cautious in front of her for fear of any accidents, Augusta's eyes also became tender. She knew the importance of a legal heir to the entire newborn country.

An emperor who cannot give birth to children will not gain all the loyalty of his subordinates no matter how capable he is, because his subordinates also need to think about their own offspring.

The absence of a crown prince means that the wealth and security of the next generation are not guaranteed, because the new emperor's ascension will inevitably alienate some of the old emperor's important ministers so that they can make room for the successors to take the throne.

If we talk about the emperor's biological son, this change will not be so "bloody".

After all, the new emperor also has to take care of the face of the old emperor. A new emperor with a little bit of skill will choose to "get rid of the old and welcome the new", that is to say, let the older generation leave, and their descendants will take their place, or be slightly better than them. If it is lower, there will never be operations such as confiscating property and throwing it into debt prison.

But in the case of someone other than the emperor's biological son, there is no way to guarantee this situation.

If a branch that is "hostile" to them ascends to the throne, the situation will be even worse.

In history, Napoleon III once asked his half-brother Morny (this was before the crown prince was born) if Morny would be willing to support Jerome Bonaparte after his death.

Morny's answer was also straightforward. He would rather return to the Orleans Dynasty than assist Jerome Bonaparte.

Because Jérôme Bonaparte was already full-fledged, Morny would not be reused if he joined, but it would be different if he took refuge in Orleans. An important minister of the empire would definitely be reused if he took refuge in Orleans.

Of course, in this world, Jérôme Bonaparte is Morny's direct promoter, so the situation in OTL history does not exist.

However, if Jérôme Bonaparte had asked Morny like his deceased cousin if he was willing to assist Jérôme Patterson, the answer he would get would probably not be much different from the answer Napoleon III asked Morny. .

This is not just the answer of Morny. Most of the important ministers in the empire have the same answer.

"I know!" Augusta nodded, then leaned on Jérôme Bonaparte's shoulder: "You must have something going on! Tell me, what is it?"

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you!" Jérôme Bonaparte showed a bitter smile on his lips, "I originally wanted to wait until my father and sister arrived!"

"Father and sister are coming too!" Emperor Augusta raised his head and asked with a serious expression: "What is going on? Is it necessary to mobilize troops like this!"

"That's it..." Jerome Bonaparte told Queen Augusta the news that he was about to leave for Constantinople.

Queen Augusta looked at Jérôme Bonaparte in astonishment and said to him with a hint of complaint: "I don't agree with your decision!"

"Augusta, I have already agreed with Richard Metternich! Let's set off tomorrow!" Jerome Bonaparte begged Queen Augusta.

"You left! What to do with Paris? What to do with France!" Queen Augusta asked Jerome Bonaparte.

"There are two Nières and Rouet in Paris. One of them is in charge of the army and the other is in charge of the government! There will be no problem!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Augusta, "And I am also prepared to let you Together with my sister Mathilde and my father Monfort, we will form a temporary agency! The two of them will directly report the problem to you or my sister Mathilde!"

Jérôme Bonaparte paused for a few seconds and then said: "Besides, I won't stay there for long! The reason why I went to Constantinople was just to honor the soldiers of the fortress. ! They fought bloody battles for France. How unworthy would it be for me, the emperor, not to go to the front lines to encourage them!"

"Why didn't Victoria and Albert go?" Queen Augusta said as an example because she was unwilling to let Jerome Bonaparte "take risks alone."

"Because Victoria and Albert are the kings of Britain, not the emperor of France! Their people will not be as violent as our people, and their land troops will not enjoy a certain status in France like our army, so They won't worry about this problem!" Jerome Bonaparte said proudly and helplessly.

It is too difficult to be the emperor in Paris, a city known for its opposition to tyranny. He must walk every step carefully like walking a tightrope.

The army and public opinion, the two main pillars supporting the empire, he could not lose any of them.

The collapse of any one pillar would reduce the entire empire to ruins.

"Augusta, I must consolidate Bonaparte's position in the army! My uncle's shelter will be exhausted one day, so we must go our own way!" Jérôme Bonaparte Augusta responded with a firm tone.

From the time he took up the banner of Napoleon to reorganize the army, he had been thinking about how to establish the prestige of his uncle in the army. He hoped that when the soldiers in the army thought of him, they would think of our great military commander. Jérôme Bonaparte, not "nephew of the great military commander (Napoleon)".

"In order for our children to have smooth sailing in the future, I will try no matter how dangerous it is!" Jérôme Bonaparte said righteously.

He understood that for Augusta, who was about to become a mother, nothing was more important than her children, not even Jerome Bonaparte himself.

Therefore, Jerome Bonaparte believed that as long as he did it in the name of "for the children", Augusta would not object.

Sure enough, Augusta hesitated for a moment and asked Jérôme Bonaparte if he would only go to Constantinople and not Sevastopol.

"Of course!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded and responded firmly.

"That……"

Before Queen Augusta could say anything, there was a knock on the door, and Jérôme Bonaparte hurriedly said: "Please come in!"

Mathilde, the princess of the Second French Empire, appeared and asked Jerome Bonaparte why he had called him over.

"Sister, close the door first!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Mathilde.

Mathilde closed the door and sat on the other side of Augusta.

Jérôme Bonaparte told Princess Mathilde what he had said to Queen Augusta.

"I don't agree!" Princess Mathilde responded loudly: "The empire has been established for less than three years, and it has only been really stable recently! You now want to learn from your uncle and lead the expedition yourself!"

After saying that, Princess Mathilde curled her lips, seeming to say that you are not qualified enough!

"Sister, I am also a graduate of Württemberg Military Academy!" Jerome Bonaparte protested in a low voice.

"Yes! A top student who graduated from the Württemberg Military Academy!" Princess Mathilde still couldn't change her sarcastic attitude.

Although Jerome Bonaparte spent some time at the Württemberg Military Academy with his elder brother when he was very young (Jerome Bonaparte's late brother attended the Higher Military Academy, he I studied at a junior high school similar to Japan's. When Jerome Bonaparte's mother died, Jerome Bonaparte had no intention of continuing to attend military school, so he "graduated early" and followed his father again. Settled in the Apennine Peninsula.

"Besides, I'm just conferring honors and commanding the army!" Jerome Bonaparte explained.

"Do you need to be awarded the honor? Can't someone else go there in your place?" Princess Mathilde asked in return.

"If I go there in person, it will also improve morale!" Jérôme Bonaparte continued to defend.

"Morale improvement? How does the empire's morale need to be improved now?" Princess Mathilde continued to ask: "When I walked to the street, I could hear people on the street talking about the Crimean War. This still needs to be improved. To what extent!"

Faced with Princess Mathilde's continuous inquiries, Jérôme Bonaparte became a little uneasy. He knew that his sister was concerned about his own safety, but he could not leave any time for himself in front of Augusta. face.

Augusta on the side also saw Jerome Bonaparte's embarrassment. She quickly defended Jerome Bonaparte. His action this time was for their unborn child.

"You still look like an adult!" Princess Mathilde decided to give Jerome Bonaparte some face. She turned to Augusta and asked Augusta if she was willing to let Jerome Bonaparte leave. Find Shuyuan www.zhaosｈhuyuａｎ.com

Augusta told Princess Mathilde that she did not want Jerome Bonaparte to go to Constantinople, but even if she objected, Jerome Bonaparte would not go secretly!

"You! You!" Princess Mathilde pointed at Jérôme Bonaparte and held back her words for a long time, "You really don't make people worry at all! Tell me! How are you going to arrange it?"

Jérôme Bonaparte told Princess Mathilde his idea. Princess Mathilde nodded in approval and said: "Your idea is quite reliable! But forget it, father! He will only make things happen." It's a mess! Those people in the family must also be careful, I'm afraid that as soon as you leave, they will act like monsters..."

At this time, Princess Mathilde transformed into Jérôme Bonaparte's military adviser to check for Jérôme Bonaparte's vacancies. In the end, Prince Montfort was also excluded from the power. The Speaker of the Legislative Council, Pio He became the person to replace Prince Montfort's ecological niche.
