Make France Great Again

Letters from Paris were opened by Jerome Bonaparte in a corner backed by a tree.

As Jerome Bonaparte expected, the sender was his sister, Princess Mathilde.

In the letter, Princess Mathilde reported to Jerome Bonaparte that she was safe, and then told Jerome Bonaparte some details about the June Revolution.

After the revolution began, Princess Mathilde and the old Prince Jerome and some important backbones of the Bonaparte party were divided into two parts and protected by some Bonaparte party members carrying guns.

Although the overall suppression of the revolution was in the East and South-East districts of Paris, Cavaignac still risked being hated by the French upper class and transported artillery to the Saint-Germain district.

Many bourgeois who participated in the National Guard were forced by Cavaignac bayonets to wear gorgeous coats and carry weapons that had never fired a single shot.

Even so, they were still considered rubbish by Cavaignac.

In the letter, Mathilde described it like this: "During those few days, our Mr. Dikrado made the most of the limelight. The former congressmen beat and scolded in front of him, and even those who went in and out on weekdays The gentlemen of the upper class also come and go as they please."

Although his sister's statement contained some subjective assumptions, but from Mathilde's words, Jérôme Bonaparte knew that the group of prostitutes under Cavaignac's subordinates disgusted the elites in the West District.

In Paris, if your actions make the elite useful, then your rule is not far from being overthrown.

The two generations of the Bourbon dynasty are already typical examples.

Jerome Bonaparte read on, and Mathilde also mentioned Victor Hugo in the letter, and claimed that Victor Hugo hoped to have a conversation with him in Paris.

If the conversation had been pleasant, M. Hugo would have chosen to support Jérôme.

It's done!

Jérôme Bonaparte clenched his fists and recited a sentence inwardly excitedly.

Victor Hugo and the moderate republicans behind him are the people that Jerome Bonaparte must fight for.

If Hugo can call on the voters in the Seine region to vote for him, then he will be sure of the votes in the Seine province.

At the end of the envelope, Mathilde also mentioned another proposal by Cavaignac in the National Assembly on July 4th, that is, in view of the impact of the June riots, he proposed to limit the votes of voters, who should be those A person with certain behavioral capacity.

If this proposal is successful, it means that all the previous efforts of Jerome Bonaparte will be in vain.

The appeal of the Bonaparte family is not very attractive to the elite class, and it is difficult for the Bonaparte faction to win without the peasants.

However, at the end of Mathilde's statement, Cavaignac's proposal was directly rejected in a ratio of 50:700.

The Party of Order, the Republicans, and the Montagne rarely joined forces to deny Cavaignac, and they obviously did not want to see Cavaignac continue to be in power.

After reading the letter, Jerome Bonaparte heaved a sigh of relief and stuffed the envelope into his arms.

Sister Mathilde's letter really made Jerome Bonaparte's mood go up and down like a roller coaster.

Jerome Bonaparte, who is now a surefire winner, just waits to return to Paris for publicity.

In a calm mood, Jerome Bonaparte returned to the fishing spot.

At this time, an old man with a kind face appeared at the fishing place, and he was talking with Charles Bonaparte.

Seeing the arrival of Jerome Bonaparte, the old man hurriedly saluted him: "Your Excellency, hello! I am Pererino Rossi!"

A trace of surprise flashed across Jerome Bonaparte's face, and then his expression turned into a serious salute: "Mr. Minister of the Interior, hello!"

After some polite words, Pererino Rossi began to express his intentions to Jerome Bonaparte: "I am here this time to ask the prince some questions!"

"Please speak!" Jerome Bonaparte responded.

Pererino Rossi tells Jerome Bonaparte about his problems.

Ever since Pope Pius IX announced the reform, Pererino Rossi started to reform, but in the reform, he used his experience in France to notify the limit of the amount of elections, appease the elite, and then tried to make the priests Introduced to counter the Roman elite.

However, his reforms did not make any progress, but instead plunged himself into a swamp.

After listening to Pererino Rossi's words, Jerome Bonaparte looked at the guy in front of him with a strange expression. He had already recited scriptures for Pius IX himself, yet His Majesty the Pope was still acting with the idea of ​​1830.

Is it his own problem or the Pope's problem.

"Your Excellency, I admire Lord Guizot so much. I think you should know the "History of French Civilization" written by Mr. Guizot!" Jerome Bonaparte asked Pererino Rossi.

"Of course!" Pererino Rossi nodded and said.

"As far as I know, Mr. Guizot, who was writing "History of Civilization in France", preserved a part of the ideas of Saint-Simonism, and that is the part he is most proud of!" Jerome Bonaparte said exactly what Guizot said The theory of class struggle employed.

"But...Mr. Guizot himself didn't..." Pererino Rossi responded.

"The current situation in the Papal State is very similar to that during the Great Revolution. The third estate challenged the first estate! However, unlike the Great Revolution, most of the peasants in the third estate are willing to stand with His Majesty the Pope! If so, why not Get their votes in your hands and turn this system into your own use!!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Pererino Rossi.

"This..." Pererino Rossi hesitated.

"Rome is not the foundation of His Majesty Pius IX, but the foundation of His Majesty the Pope is in the countryside! Restricting the amount of elections will only exclude those who are loyal to His Majesty from the system, and some people with ulterior motives will hinder reform!" Jerome Bonaparte Said to Pererino Rossi.

"Your Majesty does not want to lose secular rights!" Pererino Rossi whispered.

"There is no difference between a constitutional monarchy and an autocratic monarchy in the Papal State, as long as you can occupy the majority! Appropriate release of signals can ease sharp contradictions!" Jerome Bonaparte responded to Pererino Rossi.

After thinking for a long time, Pererino Rossi decided to give it a try.

Before that, however, he would have to speak to the Pope.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and fishing had obviously become empty talk. Jerome Bonaparte and others could only return empty-handed.

On July 15, Pererino Rossi, who persuaded the Pope, started the second round of reforms.

Jerome Bonaparte was not in the mood to continue to pay attention to the political situation of the Papal State. After receiving the letter, he quickly wrote a letter to his "protector" General Dufour in Paris.
