Make France Great Again

Chapter 85 Hugo into the urn

Jerome Bonaparte knew that Victor Hugo was obviously talking about some private agreements he had with the Party of Order.

Obviously it was you who asked me to meet you, but now I started to shirk again!

Jerome Bonaparte slandered inwardly, and with a smile still on his face, he complimented: "Your power is greater than the sum of all parties! There are not many people in Paris who have not read your book!"

Jerome Bonaparte added another sentence in his heart: "Those who haven't seen it have long been expelled!"

Victor Hugo still did not speak, he quietly watched Jerome Bonaparte's one-man show.

"Everyone knows that you are a humanitarian and a great writer who cares about the sufferings of the people and maintains order and freedom!" Jerome Bonaparte put all the beautiful words in Victor Hugo Then he extended it to himself and said: "We are all the same, and this is also based on the concept of a republic!"

"Is this what you claimed to them (the Party of Order)?" Victor Hugo said in a flat tone.

"No... these words, I'm only talking to you!" Jerome Bonaparte emphasized: "The royalists don't care about the suffering of the people at all, they only care about themselves. Although I don't like them, But I will be loyal to the regime!"

Jerome Bonaparte's attitude of "I don't like them, but I respect the Constitution" made Victor Hugo feel good.

"I have read "Eradication of Poverty" by your cousin Louis Napoleon, and I am deeply moved!" Victor Hugo paused and continued, "I want to ask your opinion!"

"My cousin's "Eradication of Poverty", I feel the same as you!" Jerome Bonaparte raised his head and said unhurriedly: "The strength of a country lies in its education, and public education is a must. What is indispensable, the country needs a strong department to protect the rights of French children to free public education, and the country must also come up with a plan to optimize the redistribution of industrial wealth, so that the poor in the whole country cannot become poorer and the rich become richer The Republic should assume more responsibilities and obligations, so that those unemployed can support themselves, instead of letting them linger in the national factory, and finally be kicked out!"

Jerome Bonaparte's direct insult to the bureaucrats of the Second Republic government not only did not make Victor Hugo resentful, but made him agree with Jerome Bonaparte even more.

Victor Hugo nodded in satisfaction, but still did not respond.

"Mr. Hugo, only I can defeat Cavaignac! If the executioner, who is stained with the blood of the people, becomes the first president of the French Republic, it will be the greatest insult to the Republic!" Jerome Bonaparte pressed on step by step. Said.

Victor Hugo recalled that rainy night again. Walking in the streets and streets, he looked at the wounded and fallen workers but could do nothing. He was so powerless and desperate.

"Half the republic killed the other half!" Victor Hugo closed his eyes and muttered to himself.

Although Jerome Bonaparte had guessed Victor Hugo's response, he was still quietly waiting for Victor Hugo's final answer.

Victor Hugo opened his eyes and said firmly: "I will support you to become president!"

"Thank you! Thank you very much! Believe me, your choice will never be wrong!" Jerome Bonaparte said while holding Victor Hugo's hand.

Jerome Bonaparte, who was supported by Victor Hugo, obviously has no intention of staying in Hugo’s home. After chatting with Victor Hugo about his next works, Jerome Bonaparte Napal and Eugène Ruby left Hugo's home.

Jérôme Bonaparte and Eugène Rouet, who returned to the Rhine Hotel from the Place des Vosges in a carriage, had just entered the gate of the hotel when they were told by the hotel owner that someone was waiting for him on the second floor.

Who will come to me at this time?

Jerome Bonaparte murmured in his heart,

He went up to the second floor with Eugène Rouet.

Just at this moment, Fleury appeared at the head of the stairs.

"Your Majesty!" Fleury whispered after being stunned for a second.

"Fleury, who is staying inside?" Jerome Bonaparte pointed to the half-covered room and asked.

"Your Majesty, I heard him say that he is a count, and his name seems to be Falloux." Fleury responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

"It's him!" Eugene Rouay blurted out.

"Huh?" Jerome Bonaparte looked at Eugène Rouet.

Eugène Rouet told Jérôme Bonaparte about Falloux's "great feats", one of which indicated the dissolution of the National Manufacture.

"Count Falloux has a deep connection with Catholicism, so..." Eugène Rouet looked at Jerome Bonaparte.

"The Pope's gospel has come?" Jerome Bonaparte whispered.

Led by Fleury, Jerome Bonaparte came alone to the temporary place where Count Falloux was received.

"His Royal Highness!" Falloux saluted Jerome Bonaparte sternly, his standard of action was very much like a master of etiquette trained by the classical court.

"Count Falloux!" Jerome Bonaparte, who had no etiquette training, could only bow slightly in return to Count Falloux.

Count Fallou didn't seem to care whether Jérôme Bonaparte's actions were standard or not. He said straight to the point: "Your Highness, I have received the gospel from His Majesty the Pope! He hopes that we can support you!"

"If the church can support me and let me become President of Franc! I will be grateful!" Jerome Bonaparte responded neither humble nor humble.

"His Royal Highness, you should know! The Gospel of the Pope is just a tendency for us, the key is what you can bring me!" Earl Fallo talked about the most secular interests with a pious expression, this sense of contrast Almost like a clown.

"As far as I know, since the July Dynasty, the church's ability to control secular schools has further declined. Even if Mr. Guizot introduced his education law, it will only allow the church to intervene to a certain extent!" Jerome Bonaparte Ba said to Fallou.

"Your Excellency, what do you want to say?" Earl Fallou said with a calm expression.

"If the church is willing to support me, I am willing to hand over the entire field of education to the church, and priests can supervise education!" Jerome Bonaparte set out his own conditions.

Earl Falloux's expression changed slightly, but he generally remained calm and said, "I think Cavaignac is also willing!"

"No! He doesn't want to!" Jerome Bonaparte responded decisively: "You underestimate our Mr. Dictator, he is a complete extreme republican! The church seized education , he will definitely not agree!"

Count Falloux was silent. According to his understanding of Cavaignac, Cavaignac really would not give Jerome Bonaparte such generous conditions as Jerome Bonaparte said.

"I will bring your conditions to the church, Prince!"

Falloux and Jerome Bonaparte chatted a few more words about Paris, and left in a hurry.
