Make France Great Again

Jerome Bonaparte's analysis far exceeded Louis Bonaparte's expectations. He originally only hoped that his cousin could have a little understanding of the current situation in France, and then use the little time left to analyze it for him. , as a member of the Bonaparte family, it is impossible not to get involved in politics.

What he didn't expect was that he had never really understood his cousin, and that his cousin's political sense would be so keen.

Louis Bonaparte looked up and down Jerome with a scrutinizing gaze, which seemed to penetrate Jerome's body and reach the depths of his soul.

Jerome straightened his back, and he was also a little uneasy in his heart, who was full of confidence on the surface, for fear that Louis Bonaparte would find out that Jerome was not "normal".

"Who taught you those analyzes just now!" Louis Bonaparte said again, and Jerome was relieved.

Jerome, who adjusted slightly, pointed to his head and eyes calmly and said, "These are all I saw and thought of myself! No one is willing to teach me, besides..."

Jerome paused for a moment, then showed a contemptuous smile and said, "The city officials [Note 1] sitting above the nine heavens in Paris are probably still thinking about how to suppress the next riot! Put the workers into the national factory It is just a delaying tactic, it cannot solve the unemployment problem in France once and for all, let alone those parliamentarians who have their own schemes! Paris is like a powder keg.”

Jerome gestured in the air, "It only takes a little spark, and the powder keg will be ignited! At that time, Paris will face the second division. At that time, the republicans can only kill the workers! Even if the republicans are lucky Suppressing the workers, how will the republicans achieve universal suffrage? The memory of the citizens of Paris is not like the memory of a fish, which only lasts 7 seconds!"

In the original history, a second revolution triggered by workers will come to Paris two months later. The new republic is facing the crisis of splitting or dying. Under the tough policy of the parliament, Lamartine, who represents moderation, will leave the stage. , replaced by the military strongman Cavaignac, and the Republic has since been torn apart.

Jérôme Bonaparte's answer made Louis Bonaparte fall into thinking. Most of the information he possessed was from second-hand or even third-hand newspapers without staying in Paris for a long time. The dictation of the experiencer is more intuitive.

"My dear cousin, what do you think of this revolution!" Louis Bonaparte asked Jerome Bonaparte with a serious expression. From now on, he no longer regards Jerome Bonaparte as a A little brother who needs his care, but a flag bearer who is about to raise the banner of Bonaparte.

"A chance!" Jerome Bonaparte responded without hesitation, and then added: "A chance for the Bonaparte family to return to the French political arena. The Bonaparte family has not returned to France for 33 years. Central Paris!"

Jerome raised his hand and clenched his fist: "We must seize this opportunity to return to Paris, just like His Majesty the Emperor did when he controlled Paris, he controlled the whole of France!"

Jerome Bonaparte's ambitious words also aroused Louis Bonaparte's ambition.

From 1830 to the present, Louis Bonaparte has always wanted to rule France, but every time it ended in failure.

Now that the power of France is in a vacuum, my body can't bear it one step ahead.

Regret lingered in Louis Bonaparte's heart. The flame of ambition flickering in his eyes also gradually extinguished, leaving only a sigh.

After sighing, Louis Bonaparte readjusted his emotions and looked at his cousin Jerome. He didn't have much time, but Jerome is still young, maybe he can...

"Jerome, what is your plan?" Louis Bonaparte folded his hands and asked with a stern expression.

Jerome slowly lowered his arms raised in mid-air, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The original plan was to invite you to return to Paris and then participate in the elections in Paris. I believe that with Bonaparte's influence in France, he will be able to win the election." Defeat those weak republicans and seize the throne of France!"

"Can we really seize the rights of France?" The two failures made Louis Bonaparte a little hesitant and confused. He believed that he could seize the rights, but was it too childish to seize the rights through elections?

Even the uncle he advocated was nothing more than a false democratic cloak for his coronation through public opinion after mastering the army.

"Whether or not we can seize power does not depend on ourselves, but on our opponents!" Jerome Bonaparte said confidently: "As long as the republicans continue to implement the system of universal suffrage, then the massive rural votes will be We use it! The President of France is at your fingertips!"

Louis Bonaparte was also very moved by the scene described by Jerome Bonaparte, but his body no longer allowed him to continue running for the election.

Louis Bonaparte turned his attention to Jerome again, this time he had a gratified smile on his face, and the mustache on his face stretched outwards with Louis Bonaparte's smile, he stretched out his hand to hold Jerome Rom Bonaparte's shoulder said: "I think your plan should be changed!"

"Change?" Jerome Bonaparte understood the meaning in an instant, he shook his head and laughed at himself: "I'm just an unknown person with some Bonaparte family titles, I'm afraid not many people in Paris can recognize me Me! Cousin, you are different! Two coups made you famous, and the book "Eradication of Poverty" was mixed with Paris, and I met a learned and talented Prince Bonaparte! These are all things I have learned in a short time Can't have it inside!"

"You can do it too!" Louis Bonaparte said forcefully, "Trust me, cousin! Sometimes, a dead person is worth more than a living person. Because the dead need to use the mouth of the living to recount their merits. , the living are also willing to share the glory of the dead! Especially a dead person who has not committed any mistakes!"

Jerome did not understand what Louis Bonaparte meant.

"I'll tell you..." Louis Bonaparte whispered in Jerome's ear.

"No... I don't agree!" Jerome Bonaparte opened his eyes wide and pursed his lips.

"Cousin, you must listen to me this time!" Louis Bonaparte said to Jerome decisively: "I have a hunch that this is the last chance for the Bonaparte family! If it fails this time , we may not be able to return to French politics again."
