Make France Great Again

March 28, 1858.

Under the secret instruction of the French Emperor Jérôme Bonaparte, the Observer published an article titled "A Profound Analysis of the Motives for the Assassination of the Regicide Orsini."

This article first explains Orsini’s life experience, background, and the reasons for the assassination, and then uses the background of Orsini’s Carbonari to extend the background of the birth of the Italian Carbonari and their development history. (Most of it talks about the dark history of the Carbonari Party. Once any organization becomes large, it will inevitably have a dark history). Finally, a summary of the Italian Carbonari Party is made: This is a group with killing, crime and violence. tend to be extreme forces.

When this article was published, it immediately attracted "encirclement and suppression" by the Republican forces and "support" by the clerical and royalist forces.

For the Republican Party, this move by the Italian Carbonari Orsini is indeed somewhat ill-considered, but this does not mean that the entire Carbonari force will be criticized.

To put it inappropriately, today the Observer can criticize the Italian Carbonari as an "extremist force of murder, crime and violence." Will the Observer tomorrow also classify them as an "extremist force"? .

For the royalist and clerical factions, this article in the "Observer" is simply too satisfying for them.

When they "handed over" power to Jérôme Bonaparte, they hoped that Jérôme Bonaparte could maintain social order and act as the gatekeeper of the revolution.

It is a pity that after the emperor established the empire, he moved less and less in the direction of maintaining order, and instead moved in the direction of destroying the established order. The "revolutionary" nature of the empire became stronger and stronger. Kerry The Mia War is undoubtedly the most typical example.

Fortunately, this war did not cause the entire European order to collapse. France replaced the ecological niche of the Russian Empire and became the European pole.

However, the royalist faction and the clerical faction could not stand the second Crimean War, which took place between France and other European countries.

Therefore, in the eyes of the royalist and clerical factions, this article in the Observer that denounced the revolution was a silent promise made by the emperor.

(In fact, the royalists and the clericalists are just being sentimental, and Jérôme Bonaparte’s purpose in publishing this article was not for them at all.)

The forces on both sides went back and forth in the newspapers for several rounds, and finally the press agency of the Secretariat came to the rescue in person, allowing both sides to shake hands and make peace.

Jérôme Bonaparte also took this opportunity to thoroughly see the attitude of Paris residents towards the Italian Carbonari Party.

In general, Paris residents were not concerned about the Carbonari problem in Italy.

This also allowed Jérôme Bonaparte to put down his last worries.

Therefore, this time Jerome Bonaparte issued a strict order to De Luyins, asking him to use the harshest diplomatic language to convey the French Empire's requirements to the Kingdom of Sardinia.

These include sealing down extremist newspapers and periodicals in the Kingdom of Sardinia and eliminating extremist forces in the Kingdom of Sardinia.

After receiving the order, De Luyins had no choice but to find Ambassador Dela Roca again.

In Della Rocca's puzzled expression, De Luyins smiled and asked Ambassador Della Lola, "Your Excellency, the Kingdom of Sardinia hasn't discussed it yet?"

Della Roca silently cursed Cavour, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Sardinia, in his heart, and said to De Luins with an awkward expression, "Minister Luins, it's still half a month away." !

Otherwise, would you like to wait a little longer? "

In fact, it is not surprising that Ambassador Della Rocca begged De Luyins for a period of grace, because it was only a few days ago that De Luyins last met with Della Roca.

A few days would not allow the Sardinian Parliament to make a simple decision.

And Prime Minister Cavour, whom Della Rocca cursed, has not done anything. He has been trying to restore the French Empire through the secret line in Vernia that only he and Victor Emmanuel II know. View of the Kingdom of Sardinia.

However, Cavour didn't know that this time Jérôme Bonaparte was determined to punish Sardinia, and he didn't even know that the secret line he had set up in Vernia had already been betrayed by Jerome Bonaparte. Tom Bonaparte instigated rebellion.

This resulted in Cavour being unable to receive accurate information from Paris and unable to reply to Della Rocca.

Ambassador Della Rocca became a little overwhelmed because he had not received the latest instructions from Sardinia.

After hearing this, De Luyins continued to smile and said to Ambassador Dela Roca, "Since you haven't discussed a countermeasure yet, can you listen to my suggestions?"

"Please speak!" Ambassador Della Rocca responded humbly to De Luyins.

De Luyins handed over the conditions entrusted to him by Jérôme Bonaparte to Ambassador Della Rocca, "We hope that the Kingdom of Sardinia can, with the assistance of international forces, seize the extreme criminals in the country as soon as possible. Communist newspapers!

At the same time, eliminate the extremist forces that already exist in the country! "

After listening to Ambassador De Luyins's "suggestions", Ambassador Della Rocca's expression suddenly changed!

Although De Luyins's suggestion sounded like it was for the sake of Sardinia, upon closer inspection it was tearing apart the entire Kingdom of Sardinia.

Sardinia is like an ugly girl (referring to the monarchy), who has attracted the attention of some "men" (liberals, nationalists) through careful dressing (a constitutional monarchy in name, but still an autocratic monarchy in fact) Adored.

But De Luyins wants them to take off their disguises (give up liberalism and return to autocracy) and become the ugly girls they were before.

If Sardinia really follows France's request to block domestic newspapers and periodicals, the liberal and nationalist forces that originally submitted to the Kingdom of Sardinia will suddenly become the vanguard against the Kingdom of Sardinia.

The tacit understanding between the monarchy and them disappeared. The Kingdom of Sardinia, which had lost its liberalism and nationalism, was no different from the Kingdom of Sicily and the Papal States.

De Luyins' behavior simply cost them their lives.

Although Ambassador Dela Rocca knew that his next words might cause dissatisfaction with De Luyins, he still responded to Ambassador De Luyins bravely.

"Your Excellency, please forgive me for not being able to agree to your request!"

"Ambassador Dela Roca, why is this?" De Luyins asked Ambassador Dela Roca pretending to know nothing.

"Because... because..." Ambassador Della Rocca hesitated for a long time before he finally managed to say, "Because our country's national conditions are quite special..."

"The national conditions are special?" De Luyins sneered and asked Ambassador Della Lola, "Your country's national conditions are so special that you cannot be ruthless against extremists, or..."

Speaking of this, De Luyins suddenly raised his voice and said, "It should be said that your country has already reached cooperation with those ultra-nationalists!"

"No! No!" Ambassador Della Rocca denied.

Although the government of the Kingdom of Sardinia does secretly support some extremists, they only support extremists from Lombardy, Venice and the Grand Duchy of Tuscany.

Extremists like Orsini, who are full of republican ideas, are no longer within the support of the Kingdom of Sardinia.

"Then what do you mean by your country?" De Luyins said angrily to Ambassador Della Lola, "Since your country does not cooperate with extremist forces, then your country should support France's action.

Those extreme forces in the Kingdom of Sardinia who can risk assassinating our emperor today may choose to assassinate your king tomorrow.

The Kingdom of Sardinia should severely crack down on these extreme forces!

If the Kingdom of Sardinia feels that it is incapable, we, the French Empire, are also willing to do it for you, just like we did to the Kingdom of Spain during the puppet dynasty (referring to the restoration of Bourbon)! "

Ambassador Della Rocca naturally understood what De Luyins meant by "acting on behalf of others."

Once the French army enters the Kingdom of Sardinia, the entire Kingdom of Sardinia will probably face a devastating blow.

Everyone in Europe doesn't know that the French Imperial Army is famous for its land-grabbing skills.

Let’s not talk about the recent war against the Roman Republic. Before the French army defeated the Roman Republic, they had ruthlessly plundered the territory of the Papal States, and then occupied the Roman Republic to welcome the Pope. During this period, he also severely extorted money from the church in Rome.

After welcoming the Pope, the Pope gave them a sum of money in recognition of the French army's bravery and fearlessness in the crusade against the Roman Republic.

After plundering it three times, the entire Papal State almost went bankrupt because it had no money to pay the French army.

In the face of money, those big guns don't care whether you are a priest or a pope.

The more than 4,000 troops currently in the Papal States are all supported by Pope Pius IX.

Deca Rolla also heard that Pius IX had cut off part of his Swiss Guard in order to pay for the military expenses of these French troops.

During the Crimean War period after the Roman Republic, the French army fared slightly better.

However, Ambassador Della Rocca has reason to suspect that the reason why the French army performed well in Crimea is entirely because the residents of Crimea are a bunch of poor people.

If it were the Kingdom of Sardinia, I am afraid that the Kingdom of Sardinia would follow in the "footsteps" of the Papal State.
