Make France Great Again

"Hugo? What is he doing here?"

Jerome Bonaparte, who was preparing for the next move, was sullen, not to mention how unhappy he was.

"Your Majesty, I don't know either!" Pessini said helplessly, "However, judging from Mr. Victor Hugo's expression, he should have something urgent to find you!"

"What a hassle!" Jerome Bonaparte complained.

For this literati who is well-known throughout Paris, he can neither beat nor scold him, and he has to be left to him.

"Do you want to tell Mr. Hugo, Your Majesty, you are having an important meeting?" Pessini proposed a solution.

Jerome Bonaparte glanced at the incomparably huge thing of the Marquise de Alais sitting on his lap, and subconsciously responded: "Mmm! It's really heavy!"

Afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte, who realized that he had said something wrong, hurriedly added: "Forget it! Let Mr. Victor Hugo go upstairs!"

"Yes!" Pessini responded, then closed the door and left.

"Madame, it seems that I can't have an in-depth communication with you!" Jerome Bonaparte still expressed regret in a provocative tone.

"Your Majesty, I am always waiting for your summons!" The Marquise de Allais flicked her golden curly hair and cast a charming look at Jérôme Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte let go of his arms around the Marquise de Alais.

The arrival of Victor Hugo means the departure of the Marquise de Arles.

Just when the Marquise de Alais was about to leave the living room, she heard Jerome Bonaparte behind her say: "Madame, please let your husband pay attention to the bond issued by the Ministry of Public Works soon. No compensation deal!"

After "bullying" someone's wife for so long, I always want to give her some sweetness.

If you want to live a decent life in Paris, unless you have a little green on your head.

Of course, this rule does not apply to Jerome Bonaparte himself.

Because he is about to be the one who sets the rules of the entire Paris game.

The Marquise de Alais, who understood Jerome Bonaparte's subtext, turned around and slightly saluted Jerome Bonaparte, "I will tell my husband!"

Led by her attendants, the Marquise de Allais left the Elysee Palace through the back door.

Not long after, the door of the guest room opened again, and Pessini and Victor Hugo entered.

Jerome Bonaparte hurriedly stood up to greet the great writer of the 19th century: "Mr. Hugo, welcome to the Elysee Palace!"

Jerome Bonaparte stretched out his hand to hold Victor Hugo's hand, and Victor Hugo responded quickly: "Mr. President!"

"Mr. Hugo, please don't call me that! I still hope you can call me by my first name, or Prince!" Jerome Bonaparte tried to draw in Victor Hugo's relationship.

"Your Excellency the Prince!" Faced with Jerome Bonaparte's unrestrained hospitality, Victor Hugo had no choice but to choose the title "Prince".

"Um!"

Under the guidance of Jerome Bonaparte, Victor Hugo sat in the position of the Marquise de Arles.

Jerome Bonaparte, who was sitting back in his seat, asked Victor Hugo, "Mr. Hugo, I don't know why you came to see me today?"

Victor Hugo immediately stated that he was entrusted by the Republicans and wanted to persuade Jerome Bonaparte to give up the plan of the military parade.

"Your Excellency, only you can stop them right now!" Victor Hugo said to Jerome Bonaparte sincerely.

Jerome Bonaparte pretended to be depressed and got up behind Victor Hugo, then sighed and said: "Mr. Hugo, you think highly of me, I must respect the opinions of the majority!"

"Republicans, too!" Victor Hugo tried to get Jerome Bonaparte to "change his mind".

"Mr. Hugo, you don't understand!" Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and said, "They control the cabinet and the army! I'm just a president in name only! I don't have the power to decide the military parade. And in them!"

Jerome Bonaparte tried to weaken the power of his own president, so that the party of Order would become the enemy of the republic.

"But..." Victor Hugo still argued hard.

"Mr. Hugo, I have to stand on their side to ensure that they will not launch a coup! If they launch a coup, the Republic will be finished!" Jerome Bonaparte continued to speak alarmistly.

"As long as you don't agree, they have nothing to do!" Victor Hugo continued to persuade.

"No... no way!" replied the "cowardly" Jérôme Bonaparte.

No matter how much Victor Hugo persuaded him, Jerome Bonaparte was determined to die and was unwilling to fight against the Party of Order.

Victor Hugo could only give up.

Before leaving, Victor Hugo once again hoped that Jerome Bonaparte would think about it.

The "cowardly" Jerome Bonaparte once again chose to support the Party of Order after an "ideological struggle".

Subsequently, Victor Hugo left the Elysee Palace with a sense of loss.

At Lamartine's home, Victor Hugo told all the Republicans about the Elysee Palace.

"We misjudged Mr. President!" Cavaignac said in a depressed mood: "I thought the emperor's nephew should be a hero! Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a coward!"

Compared with Cavaignac, who put his disgust on his face, Bastide obviously has the qualities of a diplomat who is not surprised. He carefully analyzed the situation between the enemy and us: "We can only show the enemy's weakness now, I hope they don't Start with us!"

"It is not a wise choice to hope for them!" Lamartine responded.

"Everyone, what else can we do now!" Bastide glanced at everyone present with stern eyes, and he said loudly: "We have lost the government and the army, and we can do nothing now!"

"We still have Rangers!" Lamartine still wanted to struggle.

"Mr. Lamartine, do you want the Rangers to be the second victim?" Bastide responded coldly: "All we can do now is wait!"

"Then when will we wait!"

"When they are hated by all France!"

On the afternoon of January 27, after a heated discussion, the republicans who understood their situation completely gave up resistance. They did not know that their non-resistance policy would completely sweep them out of the parliament.

On the night of January 28, following the signing of the military parade order by the Minister of War Liulier, Changarnier, the commander of the Paris National Guard and the commander of the regular army, quickly assembled the team.

Among them, there are 45,000 people in the Paris National Guard, about 20,000 people in the capital corps stationed in Paris, and 30,000 people in the suburban corps.

After the troops of the Capital Legion were quickly assembled, they were stationed in the area centered on the Paris City Hall. The Bourbon Palace was "protected" again, and the soldiers of the two regiments were stationed near the Bourbon Palace again.
