Make France Great Again

Chapter 113 Preparations for the Annihilation of Rome

"Then Colonel Canrobert, can you please come to the Elysee Palace after the award! I will personally celebrate for you!"

Jerome Bonaparte raised his wine glass and nakedly extended an olive branch to Canrobert. He believed that Canrobert would definitely take his own olive branch.

Facing the sudden olive branch from Jérôme Bonaparte, Canrobert was a little apprehensive for a moment, and after a short period of apprehension, joy followed.

Canrobert never thought that he would receive an olive branch from the emperor's nephew after only a few days in Paris.

With great excitement, Conrobel said with a trembling voice: "I...how can I win His Majesty's trust! If Your Majesty needs me, I am willing to do my best to help His Majesty!"

After that, he drank the brandy in the glass in one gulp.

Jerome Bonaparte also drank the brandy in his glass.

"Your Majesty will not be disturbed by this subordinate!" Canrobert, who knew how to advance and retreat, asked Jerome Bonaparte to leave. He could not occupy all the president's time.

"Go!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded in response.

Under the jealous eyes of the officers at the same level around him, Colonel Conrobel, who was "beheaded", strode into the crowd with his head held high.

Afterwards, the officers with long eyes introduced themselves to Jerome Bonaparte.

However, compared with Canrobert, most of them are no more than unknown people.

Jerome Bonaparte still maintained an neither humble nor overbearing attitude to pay back to the officers present.

Time gradually came to 1 o'clock in the morning, the army banquet was over, some officers returned to their camps, and some returned to the hotel.

Jerome Bonaparte, who was drunk with brandy, was helped back to the room by Persini again.

Until 2 o'clock in the afternoon the next day, Jerome Bonaparte, who woke up again, rubbed his sleepy eyes and put on the uniform of the National Guard to go out.

Just when he was about to go out, Odilon Barrot hijacked Jerome Bonaparte and reported a situation to Jerome Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte had to go to the study with Odilon Barrot.

In the study, Odilon Barro reported to Jerome Bonaparte about the situation in Italy.

"Austria, Naples, Spain demanding intervention in the new Roman Republic?"

In the study, Jérôme Bonaparte pretended to be surprised and asked Barrot again about the accuracy of the news.

"That's right!" Odilon Barro said with a wry smile, "According to reliable information, Marshal Radetzky of Austria has already divided up his troops. It looks like he is going to interfere!"

"Hmph! That old thing is still alive!" Jerome Bonaparte put on a disgusted expression.

As a member of the Bonaparte family, Jerome Bonaparte had reason to dislike the Chief of Staff of the Allied Forces during the Napoleonic Wars.

"That's right, and they've almost defeated the Sardinian Dynasty!" Odilon Barro responded.

"The Austrian army has degenerated to the point where it can only defeat second-rate countries?" Jerome Bonaparte sneered again.

Odilon Barrot, who understands the grievances between the Bonaparte family and the Habsburgs, "understands" Jerome Bonaparte's attitude, and it is precisely because he is afraid of Jerome Bonaparte's interest that he I will come over early to check with the president.

"What is the attitude of His Majesty Pope Pius IX who is staying in Lyon?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Odilon Barrot.

Hearing Pius IX, Odilon Barro's expression became even more helpless: "The Pope's Secretary of State Antonelli has already gone to Naples. It seems that the Pope is very dissatisfied with our delay in taking action!"

"Before it was because of the form, but now..." Jerome Bonaparte looked at Odilon Barrot.

After pondering for a moment, Odilon Barro responded: "What reason did we enter there? Although we suppressed the parliament,

But it has not yet entered the stage of the Legislative Assembly. Guess those guys will turn against us again! "

Jerome Bonaparte tapped the table with his index finger, and after a while, he spoke again: "How about in the name of supporting the Republic?"

"Huh?" Odilon Barrot raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he didn't understand what Jerome Bonaparte meant.

"We went to the port of Civitavecchia in the name of supporting the Roman Republic. As long as we occupy that port, we can go straight to the Roman Republic! In the end, we only need to conceal our true intentions!" Jerome Bonaparte explained to Odilon Barro.

"This is indeed a good idea!" Odilon Barrot nodded in agreement with Jerome Bonaparte's suggestion.

"Then Mr. Prime Minister, you will bring this plan to your colleagues in the Party of Order! Afterwards, we will discuss a time to send troops together!" Jerome Bonaparte urged Odilon Barrot to leave as soon as possible.

"Okay!" Odilon Barro, who was unwilling to stay longer at the Elysee Palace, turned and left the Elysee Palace.

Just when Jerome Bonaparte, who had dealt with Odilon Barrot, was about to leave the study, there was a knock on the door, and Jerome Bonaparte had no choice but to sit back in his chair and take a good posture: "Please come in! "

Pessini entered the study and reported to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, Colonel Canrobert seeks to see you!"

"Then invite him in!"

As soon as the words came out, Jérôme Bonaparte felt that something was wrong and quickly changed his words: "I'd better pick him up myself!"

Under Persini's astonished expression, Jerome Bonaparte walked with him through the lobby of the Elysee Palace to the main entrance.

Canrobert, who stood upright at the main entrance of the Elysee Palace, showed a flattered expression as he watched as he gradually approached Jerome Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte looked at a brand new medal on Canrobert's chest, with a golden Napoleon head on the front and a French tricolor flag pattern on the back, he held Canrobert's hand tightly : "Colonel Conrobert, congratulations on your award of the Legion of Honor!"

"Your Majesty!" Canrobert, who was held tightly by Jerome Bonaparte, responded excitedly.

Jerome Bonaparte returned to the study together with Canrobert and Persini.

In the study room, Jerome Bonaparte said to Canrobert with a solemn expression: "Colonel Canrobert, I wonder if you would condescend to become my adjutant!"

Subsequently, Jerome Bonaparte proposed generous conditions to Conrobert: "I assure you, at this time next year, you will become a brigadier general! In a few years, you will become a marshal!"

Conrobert, who has become a potential Bonapartist since the February Revolution, was willing to serve the Bonaparte family, not to mention Jerome Bonaparte's promise. He immediately said: "It is my duty to serve Your Majesty." Greatest honor!"

"Pessini!" Jerome Bonaparte pointed to Conrobert and ordered Persini: "Tell Minister Liulier that Colonel Conrobert will become my adjutant from today!"

"Yes! I will tell Liulier!"
