Make France Great Again

Chapter 112 Colonel Conrobert

Odilon Barro, who was hindered by the dissolution of the Constitutional Committee as he wished, froze again.

There is a saying that if you want to destroy it, you must first make it crazy.

This time, Prime Minister Barrow of the "Return of the King" not only disbanded the republican armed rangers, but also proposed two evil policies of "restoring the salt tax" and "restoring the wine tax" in the parliament.

France's tax revenue has increased by 100 million francs due to the two major evil policies, but with the help of some "minded people", Odilon Barrot has already gained a notorious reputation.

Farmers near the Seine may not know Odilon Barrow, but when the name Odilon Barrow is mentioned, they want to eat their flesh and drink their blood.

The Republicans and Montagnards, who were powerless to resist, had no choice but to slap the table in the National Assembly to protest to express their dissatisfaction. However, in the eyes of the Party of Order, their protests were nothing more than flies buzzing in their ears, without any threat at all.

This is not over yet, as Odilon Barro's loyal henchman Leon Fauci once again dealt a fatal blow to the republicans in the parliament.

On January 31, Leon Fauci published a bill on the right of association in the National Assembly. The first article of this bill is to dissolve "clubs" and "cafes" and other assembly activities.

If the Rangers are the guns of the Republicans, then the "club" is the lifeblood of the Republicans.

The famous banquet movement in 1847 started from the "club" and then spread to the whole of France.

Although the republicans in the National Assembly fiercely opposed the bill enacted by Leon Fuchs, how could they beat the Party of Order even though they were mild-mannered.

With the help of the Party of Order, all the rallies in Paris except the Party of Order and the Bonaparte faction (Elysee Palace faction) were disbanded.

The time when the Republicans and the Montagne will be swept out of the National Assembly is just around the corner.

Odilon Barro, who had swept away the forces opposing the Party of Order in the National Assembly, began his career in power.

Jérôme Bonaparte, who acted as the hands-off shopkeeper, was also not idle, and devoted himself to the cabinet. Odilon Barrot and Thiers gave Jérôme Bonaparte a chance to get involved in the army.

Jerome Bonaparte, who wished to strengthen ties with the military, immediately set up the Military Department. This department is attached to the secretary's office and mainly stores letters from the military to the president.

Jerome Bonaparte also stipulated that every letter should be checked by himself before replying in person. Even if it was a letter written to him by an ordinary soldier, Jerome Bonaparte would reply to them seriously without any pretense. other people's income.

Over time, the news that the emperor's nephew personally replied to the letter spread to the ears of all the soldiers of the army stationed near Paris.

The chief soldiers and middle-level officers who were also eager to receive letters from the emperor's nephew wrote to the Military Administration one after another, and looked forward to the letter from Jerome Bonaparte.

Every day the Military Administration received nearly 100 such letters, and Jerome Bonaparte read them one by one and replied to them. For a while, the lights in the study room of the Elysée Palace were kept on all night long, and because of the reply, The exhausted Jerome Bonaparte even fell asleep on the desk.

Pessini also tried to write a letter on behalf of Jerome Bonaparte, but he refused. He was convinced that only in this way could the Parisian army know him and win the hearts of the troops stationed in the suburbs of Paris.

When seeing some complaint envelopes, Jerome Bonaparte will also give a few Napoleon gold coins.

The hard work paid off, and Jerome Bonaparte's reply and greetings day and night were rewarded. The army began to regard Jerome Bonaparte as "Our Royal Highness".

Many new-generation officers (officers at the school level) stationed in the regiments in the suburbs of Paris expressed their desire to get close to Jerome Bonaparte, and Jerome Bonaparte also often invited these officers to the Elysee. Palace as a guest.

Every Sunday evening, the Élysée Palace turns into a gathering place for field officers.

Jerome Bonaparte, who was wearing Lev's uniform, became the focus of the audience. The officers with cups and cups affectionately called Jerome Bonaparte "Your Majesty", and Jerome Bonaparte also called him "Your Majesty". The officers present were "future generals".

The atmosphere of the banquet reached a climax completely from the sentence "Long live the Empire, long live Bonaparte!", and the flame of ambition was shining in the eyes of all the officers.

Jerome Bonaparte can be sure that their ambitions can be used by him. Of course, the premise of all this is that he must give these Chubas a feeling that they can win, otherwise this group of rude but shrewd Chubas will not Willing to follow yourself.

Qiu Ba, who has experienced three dynasties, has long accumulated the skills of a chameleon.

One by one, these "young men" officers came to Jerome Bonaparte to toast Jerome Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte suddenly remembered the wise saying of someone who knows that the culture of the army is the culture of the winery.

You can't back down in front of this group of Qiuba!

Jerome Bonaparte could only drink one glass after another, and he quickly drank a whole bottle of brandy.

Just when Jerome Bonaparte was half-drunk, a middle-aged man who was powerful but slightly bald appeared in front of Jerome Bonaparte. He raised his glass and said respectfully: "The Empire Long live!"

Compared to the arrogant Qiu Ba just now, the guy in front of him was a little too respectful.

Jerome Bonaparte asked curiously: "Can you tell me your name?"

The curly-haired, balding middle-aged man straightened his back in an instant, and the iron blood of a soldier was displayed on his body: "The subordinate is François Seltain Canrobert, the current colonel of the Zhuav regiment!"

Canrobert, Colonel, Zouav's Regiment.

The three key pieces of information instantly awakened Jerome Bonaparte's memory. Isn't this guy in front of him the person he was looking for.

In history, after the fall of the empire, Canrobert still carried the banner of Bonaparte and worked hard for the restoration work in France.

Although it was said that the restoration failed in the end, his loyalty was unmatched by other Bonapartists.

Loyal and capable subordinates must of course be recruited as soon as possible.

"Colonel Conrobert!" Jerome Bonaparte smiled kindly, and asked kindly, "I remember that the Zouav regiment is in North Africa. Why did you appear here?"

"This subordinate is here to award honors!" Conrobert still put on a respectful attitude, just like a potential reserve team of Bonaparte.

"Honours are good! Honors are good!" Jerome Bonaparte encouraged, "France needs a general like you who can fight and win battles!"

"You are overrated!" Conrobel responded flattered.

"When will you be honored!" Jerome Bonaparte then asked.

"tomorrow!"
