Make France Great Again

Ebel scrutinized the article in front of him with a critical eye.

As one of Louis Napoleon's friends, Ebert felt sorry for Louis Napoleon's departure, so he had to take care of Louis Napoleon's posthumous name.

"...a Saint-Simonian disciple, a senior republican, and a prince leave us today... His arrival, though like a shooting star across the sky, brought new vibes to the whole of Europe. Opening! Just like Emperor Napoleon decades ago...History has proved that Prince Louis Napoleon's judgment on the July Dynasty is undoubtedly correct, and the sword of Austerlitz in the hands of the Orleans government is undoubtedly a disaster... Louis Napoleon once said that the sovereignty of the people meant the establishment of the principle of equal rights of the people and the establishment of a democratic organization, so that in the new social hierarchy, each person has his own status, rights and responsibilities..." Ebert translated the entire manuscript from Scan it quickly from top to bottom.

[The Sword of Austerlitz is the sword of Emperor Napoleon. When the Emperor Napoleon’s body was welcomed back in July 1840, the sword was given to Louis Philippe as a trophy. This refers to the French regime. 】

From top to bottom, in addition to expressing the praise of Napoleon and Napoleon III, the whole article also described Louis Napoleon as a republican who, although he was in the aristocratic class, did not forget to worry about the country and the people. The pursuit of happiness also expounds Louis Napoleon's political philosophy. And of course regret at the inaction of the United Kingdom Government in the economic crisis.

"His Royal Highness!" Ebert put down the manuscript, turned his gaze to Jerome and said with emotion: "Your writing skills and accomplishments are not inferior to Prince Louis at all."

"But..." Ebel changed the subject and said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid this article will hardly get a chance to be published!"

"Why?" Persini was stunned for a moment, and then retorted: "Didn't the Times claim that there is nothing it dare not report?"

Ebel spread his hands and responded helplessly: "Mr. Earl, the current situation is different from the past, and the "Times" also needs to be restrained by the above."

Jerome Bonaparte instantly understood what Ebert meant. It is impossible for a newspaper with a circulation of 30,000 copies like The Times not to receive the attention of the United Kingdom government.

The circulation of 30,000 newspapers is equivalent to 30,000 loyal supporters of the middle class. Together, they are enough to influence the decision-making of the entire United Kingdom.

Not to mention that The Times has a loyal French readership abroad.

At the juncture of the European revolution in 1848, even the United Kingdom, which claims to be democratic and free, had to conduct limited censorship to ensure that some influential newspapers would not publish inflammatory articles, or do some harm by manipulating public opinion. United Kingdom thing. .

Of course, except for the "North Star" newspaper, this kind of newspaper favored by the British Chartists will not stop their appeals because of the censorship uniforms of the United Kingdom, and the United Kingdom also dare not shut them down without any reason, otherwise the British Liberty has become empty talk.

"Of course we won't embarrass your newspaper!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Ebert politely: "Mr. Ebert, please allow me to talk to your editor-in-chief!"

Seeing Jerome Bonaparte's confident appearance, Ebert had no choice but to introduce him to the second floor of the Times Building, the office of the editor-in-chief in charge of review.

The arrival of Pessini surprised the editor-in-chief of the review. After hearing the news of the death of Louis Bonaparte, the editor-in-chief of the review also showed a regretful expression: "God loves Prince Louis so much that he let him die early. into heaven!"

"Look at this!" Ebert handed over the manuscript of "From Bonaparte to Bonaparte, Review of the Life of Louis Bonaparte" to the editor-in-chief.

The review editor who received the manuscript carefully reviewed the content of the manuscript, put down the manuscript and shook his head: "Sorry, "The Times" cannot publish this kind of manuscript now!"

Hébert gave Jerome Bonaparte and Pessini a look of "I'll know it when I see it".

"Didn't The Times establish its influence in the United Kingdom with freedom of speech and the courage to tell the truth! When did it become the voice of the United Kingdom government!" Jerome Bonaparte sarcastically said: "Or is The Times about to become the official lackey of the United Kingdom again?"

"His Royal Highness!" The editor-in-chief of the review obviously heard Jerome Bonaparte's insinuation: "We are very helpless in this situation. During this period of time, the government has repeatedly asked us not to publish some articles about politics!"

"Sir, this is just an article stating the life of Prince Louis!" Jerome Bonaparte changed the concept secretly: "I just let the world know my cousin's political views and ideas. The Bonaparte of democracy and freedom Napoleonic thought should not be quietly carried to the grave."

"Your Excellency, as you can see, this has already involved politics!" The editor-in-chief of the review got up and went to the desk, took out a pack of opened cigarettes from the desk, lit it with a flint, and white smoke floated from the ignition point of the cigarette in the air. Throughout the office, the spicy shredded tobacco made the editor-in-chief cough twice.

"What if this article has received the acquiescence of the United Kingdom government?" Jerome Bonaparte asked again.

"Wh...cough...cough" Before the editor-in-chief could finish speaking, a spicy smell flooded into the editor-in-chief's nostrils and he couldn't help coughing twice.

"I mean, what if this article has been approved by the United Kingdom government?" Jerome repeated what he had just said.

"Mr. Prince, I don't think the government would be able to spend a lot of time on a special review!" The editor-in-chief of the review was obviously unwilling to believe it.

By the way, Pescini understood why Jerome Bonaparte wanted to ride in the royal carriage, and he immediately chimed in: "Sir, I'm afraid you don't know who sent us here just now!"

"Who?" The review editor was puzzled.

"Mr. John Brown!" Pessini believed that as the editor-in-chief of "The Times", it was impossible for him not to know the royal housekeeper.

"Don't you..." The editor-in-chief of the review seems to have imagined a lot of indescribable py transactions.

"Sir, I advise you not to get involved in politics!" Jerome Bonaparte reminded.

"I understand! I understand!" The editor-in-chief showed a comprehending expression, and promised Jerome Bonaparte that this article would be published on the front page of the newspaper.

Jerome Bonaparte, the editor-in-chief and Hébert, thanked him politely, and left the Times Building with Pessini.
