Fox of France

The first ruling term was six years, and now Napoleon is only half a year away from the expiration of his term. French law does not stipulate the number of consecutive terms for the first ruling. That is to say, if Napoleon is willing and the French people support him, he can be re-elected until his death.

In fact, if Napoleon said that he wanted to be re-elected, I am afraid that there will be no need for campaigns, just like when Napoleon was re-elected last time, he couldn’t find anyone who wanted to run against him, so he had to force all Barras, who was about to retire, pulled out and forced him to run. and then? Ballas went out to give a speech, and brought those who came to watch the fun to shout: "Long live Napoleon, we will not choose anyone except Napoleon!" Everyone votes for Napoleon:

"What? You ask who I will vote for? Needless to say, of course it is His Excellency Napoleon Bonaparte. Why should I come to the election? Hahaha, young man, Think about it, in future history books, when mentioning the first national general election in the French Republic, when mentioning His Excellency Napoleon Bonaparte, you can also mention my name by the way, you see how good it is So, you guys are really too young and naive...hahaha."

But now, Napoleon leads France from victory to victory, and the whole world is cheering for him. If Napoleon wants to be re-elected at this time, there will be no competition at all. No other candidate would have performed any differently than Ballas.

However, just this morning, a big news happened suddenly. Your Excellency the First Consul proposed a new bill to the State Council, and this bill was actually rejected by the State Council!

Since Napoleon became the first consul, the State Council, as well as other parliaments, have never vetoed any proposals proposed by Napoleon. Although the British often use this to mock Napoleon's democracy as a joke, they even made up jokes such as "How dare you stop applauding first, you will die if you get it". However, the people of all France firmly believe that the reason for this is entirely because the proposals put forward by Napoleon's administration are far-sighted and most in line with the interests of the French people.

This is all sycophancy, because Napoleon is indeed always correct. Almost every time, when everyone’s views disagree with him, it’s everyone who does it. When I understand it, my first reaction is that it must be because my level is too low. As a result, most people have formed the habit of "Napoleon's decision, implement what you understand, implement what you don't understand, and strengthen understanding during implementation".

But this time, in the case of "not understanding", the State Council did not "deepen understanding during implementation", but directly vetoed it. Is this really true? Are the guys from the State Department trying to rebel?

The people of Paris are angry, and they are ready to take up their guns and teach those arrogant bastards of the State Department a lesson. But soon, they changed their position and decided to encircle the executive government instead of the State Department.

Because the content of Napoleon's motion is to prohibit anyone from serving in the first ruling position for more than two consecutive terms!

"How is this possible! How is this possible! How could Your Excellency the First Regent propose such an absurd proposal!" Someone was angry and puzzled.

"What did we do wrong that made the first ruler sad, so he doesn't want us?" Someone wailed sadly.

"I suspect that there are bad people coercing His Majesty the First Consulate. We are going to the Consulate, and we are going to defend the First Consulate!" Some people shouted loudly.

"Go together, go together!" More people responded.

So they went together.

Everyone took board knives, steel whips, bombs, foreign cannons, three-pointed double-edged knives, hooked sickle guns, put on white helmets and white armor, and went to Mozhuang together—ah, sorry, we are crossing the stage. Well, everyone went together. Considering that in case some bad elements really hijacked the First Consul, some aunts brought baguettes.

At noon, the outside of the Consulate was already surrounded by Parisians. Napoleon had to walk out of the Consulate and came among the people to show them that his proposal was not deceived by bad people with ulterior motives, nor was he to abandon it. The French people, but to ensure that the French democratic system can last forever.

"I will not leave the people of France because I am one of them. A drop of water leaves the sea and is dried by the sun. How can a man leave his brothers and sisters? I will always be with the people of France , will never leave" Napoleon went to the crowd, found a stone pier, climbed up, and shouted to everyone.

"Then stay and continue to lead us!"

"Stay, France cannot do without your leadership!" cried the crowd.

"Everyone be quiet, listen to me, listen to me!" Napoleon shouted.

"Everyone be quiet, be quiet, and listen to Your Excellency the First Consul." The person closest to Napoleon shouted first, so the crowd gradually fell silent, and everyone looked up at Napoleon standing on the stone pier.

Napoleon. He looked down, and then said to the person closest to him: "Your name is Moran, and we fought side by side in Valmy before."

"That's right, that's right," the man named Moran cheered joyfully, "Yes, the First Consul, I was on the side of the infantry at that time, so we could talk."

All the people around looked at him enviously, which suddenly made him feel that the bones in his whole body were much lighter.

"How have you been all these years?" Napoleon asked kindly.

"Report sir, life is going well, much better than before the revolution. I married a wife and have three children. They all look good."

"Okay, good job!" Napoleon patted him on the shoulder.

"Sir, the main reason is that you lead us well. You lead us to fight, and we are victorious in every battle; you lead us to live a good life, and our life will be better!" Mo Lang said with a straightened chest.

"Moran, I remember that time, you were still a little kid, and now you are the father of three children... Well, you also have gray hair, and you are quite old." Napoleon said again.

"That was still in 1993. It's been more than 20 years. How can I not be old? But seeing the children grow up and go to school, I am really happy in my heart." Mo Lang replied.

"It's the same for parents." Napoleon said, "In fact, it has been twenty years. Not only you are old, but I am also a lot older. When I was in Valmy, a stone pier as tall as this, I You can jump up with a light jump, but now you need someone to help you up."

After saying this, Napoleon sighed, raised his head again, and said to everyone: "However, Brother Moran just said something that I think is very reasonable. He said that although he is old, he sees the healthy growth of his children. I am very happy in my heart. I am also a father, as you know, I have a daughter, and my wife has recently become pregnant again, and God will give me another child soon. I fully understand the happiness of the Morans brothers."

"May God bless you and your child!" someone in the crowd yelled, followed by blessings.

When everyone's voices gradually quieted down, Napoleon said with a happy smile on his face: "In fact, besides these two children, I have another beloved child..."

The fire of everyone's gossip suddenly ignited. As for other things, um, the French still care about these? Isn't that normal?

"This child is called the Republic," continued Napoleon. "He was born in the great ninety-three, and as soon as he was born, he was attacked by evil enemies, just as the great Hercules was born, and two poisonous snakes came. It’s like biting him. In order for him to thrive, I, Brother Moran, and many heroes who have left their names or have not left their names will sacrifice their lives to protect him. The Republic is the child of all of us .

Now the child is in his twenties and is already an adult. He has to learn to live independently in society. Those of us who are fathers should also let him go and let him develop his talents freely. Of course, we won't really ignore it, just like when a child is learning to walk, we let go of our hands and let him walk by himself, but we will follow him and be ready to pull him up from the ground at any time.

You see, my body is obviously not as good as it was twenty years ago, ah, don't compliment me, we all know this kind of thing in our hearts. My thinking ability has not declined too much, but my energy is not as good as it was twenty years ago. As for the Republic, it has become too dependent on me to help him walk. I thought, if I don’t take advantage of the present, I can still follow him and help him up when he falls. Do I really have to wait until I’m old and gray-haired, all my teeth have fallen out, and I can’t even stand up? When he fell, let him walk by himself, and watched him fall, even fell into a big pit, but no one helped him?

It is precisely because of this consideration that I intend to give up the position of the first ruling. It's not that I don't love everyone or our France, but because I know that when parents love a child, they have to think long-term for them. For the long-term benefit of our children, it is time for us to let go today. "

"But..." The crowd seemed to want to say something more.

"In addition, you know me and know that I am a person loyal to democracy, but what about the future? One day I will leave this world. Will there be hypocrites and conspirators among those who will be the first ruler of the French Republic in the future? Will it be possible to talk about 'freedom and democracy' but through the convenience of serving as the first ruling for a long time, to exclude dissidents, install colleagues, and finally turn our republic into a kingdom? No, we must not put such a danger Leave it to the republic, like a father, never allow a hole in the house where a poisonous snake might slip in.

So I propose to the State Department that it will allow me to resign as First Consul and pass a bill stating that no one can hold this office for more than two terms. I hope everyone can understand my difficulties and support me as before. "
