Make France Great Again

Chapter 8 Analysis of the Situation in France

Hearing that Mathilde was worried about his own safety, Louis Bonaparte was extremely excited. After the excitement, Louis Bonaparte realized that his performance seemed to be a bit too much. After all, Mathilde was already married as a woman. She and her have become two parallel world lines that have nothing to do with each other, not to mention that he is terminally ill and may face death at any time.

After calming down, Louis Bonaparte stammered as if he had entered the sage mode, and asked, "Your sister, my cousin... how are you doing now?"

Jerome shook his head, sighed and said, "Ever since my sister divorced that rich man in Russia, she's been wandering around all day long! Although she pretended to be indifferent on the surface, I know that the failed marriage is very important to her. She hit really hard!"

Jerome's voice wasn't very loud, but when it reached Louis Bonaparte's ears, it passed through his eardrum like a bell and hit Louis Bonaparte's brain. Louis Bonaparte's brain was blank. , muttering in a low voice: "It's all my fault! If it wasn't for me..."

Mathilde and Louis Bonaparte were originally a pair of cousins ​​who were childhood sweethearts. The two were in love with each other and looked forward to the future together. At that time, no one in the Bonaparte family believed that their future would become two familiar stranger.

When Louis Bonaparte was 20 years old, Louis Bonaparte's mother, the former Queen of the Netherlands, Audence, discussed with Jerome Bonaparte's father, Jerome Sr., about the engagement of their two children. Queen agreed to the request of Queen Odense, who bought an apartment in Switzerland for her only surviving son, and also gave Louis Bonaparte 3 million francs in cash and bonds, which means that Louis Bonaparte Bonaparte received an annual annuity of 120,000 francs.

In France at that time, a small factory owner worked day and night for only about 20,000 francs a year, and an annuity of 120,000 was enough for the young couple to support themselves in Switzerland.

It's a pity that the sky failed, and Louis Bonaparte did not obey the arrangement of Audence, but insisted on carrying out the second coup d'état, that is, the one in Strasbourg.

Louis Bonaparte was imprisoned smoothly. This time, the July Dynasty was not as easy to talk as the first time. Even though the celebrities in Paris were pleading for Bonaparte, Prime Minister Soult still insisted on sending Louis Bonaparte to the prison. Ba was sentenced to life in prison.

The sentence of life imprisonment made Jerome's sister Mathilde feel the gloom of life.

It is said that the house leaked and it rained all night. After hearing that Louis Bonaparte was sentenced to life imprisonment by the traitor, the old Jerome’s creditors immediately thought that Audence might not help the old Jerome pay off his foreign debts as a relative. , They came to collect debts one after another. In order to help her father pay off foreign debts, Mathilde had to marry a 26-year-old Russian rich man. This marriage lasted less than 5 years and was on the verge of collapse. Mathilde returned from Moscow In Paris, Louis Bonaparte also escaped from prison.

"No..." Jerome spread his hands and sighed, feeling sad for the misfortune of his "sister" and cousin: "This is a tragedy in itself, and you can only blame the merciful God for making two people truly love each other." People who are tortured! Blame fate for being as unpredictable as a ruthless female cousin! Blame father for owed a huge amount of foreign debts!"

Louis Bonaparte was silent, his eyelids drooping slightly. He had never resented Uncle Jerome (old Jerome) in his heart, but every time he thought of his cousin and cousin's support for him, the resentment in his heart was washed away. .

"Forget it! Don't talk about these old sesame seeds and rotten millet!" Louis Bonaparte had already put down everything, but Jerome reminded him of his past feelings on this special occasion today.

"Well! Let's not talk about it!" Jerome cut off the topic decisively, and some things must be terminated when they should be enough.

"Jerome, my brother!" Louis Bonaparte decided to get to the point,

He said affectionately in a hoarse voice: "After I die, are you willing to take over the banner of the head of the Bonaparte family and continue to fight for the cause of the Bonaparte family!"

The words of Louis Bonaparte made Jerome's heart beat twice faster.

The banner of the Bonaparte family? What a revolutionary title!

Although now the Bonaparte family is left with only vain titles and a bunch of ostentatious honors, these things can help Jerome get what he wants under certain circumstances.

In France, Bonaparte has not only represented a person or a family, but also a symbol.

The silver coins printed with Napoleon's head circulated into the French countryside. French farmers may not necessarily know who Napoleon was and what he did, but they only need to find someone they are familiar with in the crowd.

The nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte, the defender of the peasants, the supporter of the division of land, these are enough to set off a storm in France.

Jerome's wild thoughts made Louis Bonaparte feel inexplicably flustered. He didn't want to see the title of Patriarch of Bonaparte fall on someone other than Jerome Bonaparte, otherwise those people would accuse him of Not sure what will happen to him after his death.

"My dear cousin!" Louis Bonaparte grabbed Jerome Bonaparte's wrist and said eagerly: "Although it is said that the Bonaparte family has fallen into dust, believe me that one day the Bonaparte family will Will be back on the throne!"

"En!" Jerome nodded without doubt. History has proved the influence of the surname Bonaparte in France.

Louis Bonaparte paused, and said in a low voice: "My cousin, you must know the current situation in France better than me!"

Jerome Bonaparte gloated and replied: "The regicide was kicked out of the throne (the regicide is the name of the orthodox party Louis Philippe, here is Jerome jokingly calling Louis Philippe), the Republic has no power in Paris." Surrounded by men in trousers, they hurriedly crawled out of the grave again!

It is a pity that there is no second Robespierre, no second Danton, no second Marat in this rotten republic, not even a second Fouche.

There is only a Lamartine who was still composing poems and music, a mountain party with no deterrence, and a group of remnants standing in the ruins of the dynasty and bumpkins returning to Paris from the countryside. A chaotic republic has no other function except noise, How can republicans and this group of insects do good politics together! I see this Republic eats jujube pills! "
