Make France Great Again

Chapter 769 The poison under the honey

After hearing that Jérôme Bonaparte would not allow him to return to Algiers to settle down, Abdel Qadir's expression condensed, and it could be seen that he was still a little dissatisfied that he could not return to Algiers.

Upon seeing this, Jérôme Bonaparte immediately sneered and said to Abd al-Qadir: "Mr. Qadir, do you still have the idea of ​​returning to Algiers and becoming an enemy of France in your mind? "

"Your Majesty, of course not!" Abd al-Qadir denied flatly. "Ever since I was defeated by the imperial army, I swore to God that I would never be an enemy of France again!"

"Then Mr. Qadir, are you willing to accept this condition?" Jérôme Bonaparte then asked Abd al-Qadir.

"Your Majesty, I promise you that I will never set foot on the land of Algiers for the rest of my life!" Abdel Qadir immediately promised Jérôme Bonaparte.

At this point, Abdul Qadir knew that he had no negotiating capital at all. Only by obeying the emperor in front of him could he get out of prison.

"Mr. Kadir, you made a right decision!" Jérôme Bonaparte said, snapping his fingers.

Subsequently, Jérôme Bonaparte ordered Pessini, who was standing aside, to release Abdel Qadir.

"But, Your Majesty..." Pesini did not obey Jérôme Bonaparte's order to take action. He was afraid that Abdul Qadir might cause harm to Jérôme Bonaparte.

Facing Pesigny's hesitation, Jérôme Bonaparte snorted and said lightly: "I believe Mr. Kadir is a sensible person. He should know that even if he kills me, the problem in Algiers There won't be any improvement!

On the contrary, it will put both himself and Algiers into a dangerous situation!

am I right! Mr. Qadir! "

After saying that, Jérôme Bonaparte turned his eyes to Abdel Qadir with a smile on his lips.

"Your Majesty, what you said is absolutely correct!" Abdul Kadi nodded, then turned his gaze to Pesini and swore: "Minister Pesini, I can swear to God that I will never do anything to Your Majesty. Do anything outrageous!"

"Open it!" Pesini ordered the warden beside him.

The warden had no choice but to remove the key hanging from his waist and open Abdul Qadir's cell door.

Abdou Kader, who witnessed the opening of the cell door, showed an excited expression on his face, and then rushed out of the prison under the panicked eyes of Pesini and the warden, and came to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Your Majesty!" Abd al-Qadir knelt down in front of Jérôme Bonaparte with a pop and said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you for your kindness, which allowed me to escape from this dark prison!"

Seeing this, Jérôme Bonaparte gently patted Abdul Qadir on the shoulder and said: "Get up! Let's change places and continue talking!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Abdel Qadir quickly stood up and said to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"I'll take him away first!" Jérôme Bonaparte turned to the warden and said, "In a few days, you will receive a summons from the court for release!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" the warden replied to Jérôme Bonaparte.

His Majesty the Emperor came to pick up someone in person, how dare he, a small warden, stop him.

Then, Jérôme Bonaparte, Pesini, and Abd al-Qadir left the prison in a carriage under the watchful eyes of the warden.

Pesini in the carriage asked Jérôme Bonaparte whether he was going to the Ministry of the Interior or the Tuileries Palace.

"Tuileries Palace!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded calmly.

The carriage sped along and soon arrived at the Tuileries Palace.

Jérôme Bonaparte, Pesigny and Abd al-Qadir got off the carriage one after another, and then walked slowly into the hall of the Tuileries Palace.

"Your Majesty!" Upon seeing this, Mokar in the hall hurriedly came to Jérôme Bonaparte and bowed.

"Mokar, go make a pot of tea and send it to my study!" Jerome Bonaparte immediately gave the order to Mokar.

"yes!"

While Mokar quickly went to make tea, Jérôme and Bonaparte entered the study.

"Sit down! Mr. Qadir!" Jérôme Bonaparte, who was sitting on the sofa in the study, pointed to the sofa beside him and said to Abdou Qadir.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Abdul Qadir responded quickly, and then sat down on the sofa.

Later, Jérôme Bonaparte told Abdel Qadir that the reason why he took him out of prison in advance was because he wanted Qadir to do something for him.

"Your Majesty, what do you want me to do?" Abdul Qadir asked decisively.

"I hope to be able to issue an order in your name to the guerrillas in Algiers who are still resisting. As long as they lay down their weapons and surrender immediately, the imperial army... ah no! The French army can guarantee the safety of their lives and property!" Gérault M. Bonaparte said to Abdel Qadir.

Although the large-scale resistance in Algiers has been eliminated, sporadic resistance still exists.

Jérôme Bonaparte hoped that Abdel Qadir's influence could completely quell the rebellion in Algiers.

After listening to Jérôme Bonaparte's words, Abd al-Qadir immediately realized that Jérôme Bonaparte was planning to make him, the hero of Algiers and the "Emir" of Oran, Act as a traitor.

If Abdul Qadir is really willing to issue this announcement, then many small resistance groups who regard Abdul Qadir as a hero will definitely face a situation where their beliefs are broken.

An organization with broken faith will fall far faster than an organization without faith.

It is conceivable that once Abdul Qadir issues this order, there will be another large-scale defection frenzy in Algiers.

Those Japanese Japs who took refuge in France treated their Algerian compatriots even more crazily than the French Japs.

However, Jérôme Bonaparte's request was within Abdel Qadir's expectations.

The reason why he was released by Jerome Bonaparte was not because of his own united front value.

Eight years in prison have wiped out all of Abdul Qadir's ambitions, and now he just wants to leave prison.

"Your Majesty, I can promise you!" Abd al-Qadir replied to Jérôme Bonaparte, "However, I can't guarantee how many people will be willing to surrender!"

"Don't worry!" Jérôme Bonaparte replied to Abdel Qadir confidently: "I will issue an order at the same time as you issue this order!"

Abd al-Qadir hurriedly asked Jérôme Bonaparte what order he wanted to issue.

Jérôme Bonaparte told Abdel Qadir that after the issuance of Abd al-Qadir's edict, he would propose to the Legislative Council the improvement of the indigenous inhabitants of Algiers and the promotion of Algiers in France. status proposal.

That is, residents of Algiers were allowed to join the French military and government institutions, and even immigrate to France. For Algiers citizens who were willing to abide by the French Empire's decrees, the Empire would give them the right to vote and participate in politics.

"After the bill is implemented, the three provinces under Algiers will be completely the same as other provinces in mainland France. Algiers residents who are willing to abide by the laws of the French Empire will enjoy the same rights as French residents!" Jerome. Bonaparte said to Abd al-Qadir.

As soon as he said this, Abd al-Qadir immediately knelt in front of Jerome Bonaparte and thanked Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, I thank you for the residents of Algiers!"

Although Jerome Bonaparte's proposal to respect French imperial law and Christian law conflicted with each other, Jerome Bonaparte was extremely merciful compared to previous kings.

During the Kingdom of Orleans, the residents of Algiers would be massacred and exterminated if they showed the slightest disobedience.

The current residents of Algiers only need to give up part of their beliefs to gain united front value. Such advice is simply not good!

"Nothing!" Jérôme Bonaparte smiled slightly and said to Abdel Qadir: "Algiers has deep feelings in the heart of France! I hope that the residents of Algiers and France can be closely united , and jointly resist foreign enemies!”

"Your Majesty, I assure you that the residents of Algiers will always be loyal to you!" Abd al-Qadir replied to Jérôme Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte smiled slightly, he didn't believe in such nonsense as eternal loyalty, he only believed in interests.

He believed that once the proposal was implemented, the middle-class residents and some tribal leaders living in the coastal cities of Algiers would quickly break away from the residents of the interior of Algiers and join the arms of France.

After all, only the poor care about faith, and the slightly richer people will consider how to improve their united front value.

Algiers, which might have been united, will be completely torn apart by Jérôme Bonaparte, and France can rely on those who are inclined to surrender to France and suppress those who are unwilling to submit to French rule.

However, considering that the population in the coastal areas of Algiers is not comparable to the tribal population dotted in the inland areas, it will become imperative to introduce migrant workers into Algiers.

Of course, the return population needed by Jerome Bonaparte must meet either of the two conditions of Catholics and non-believers, and they must also be obedient.

Throughout Europe, there is no more suitable nation than the lovely Italians and Austrians (this refers to Hungary and Croatia under the Austrian Empire). They will become France's best right-hand men and help France jointly suppress obstacles. Opposition to French rule.

At this time, Abd al-Qadir, who was fully waiting for amnesty, did not know what Jerome Bonaparte was thinking.

And even if he knew it, he wouldn't have the courage to fight.

After all, France's power is really terrifying!
