Make France Great Again

From Pessini's words, Jérôme Bonaparte didn't hear much sincerity, but instead said words to save his own face.

Thinking of this, Jerome Bonaparte's eyes showed more frustration.

As an "ordinary person" with God's perspective, Jerome Bonaparte is destined not to be understood by the whole of France.

Not to mention France, even if he told the King of Prussia that Prussia would completely defeat France in 22 years, I am afraid that Prussia itself would not believe this, they would only think that Jerome Bonaparte wanted to give to his uncle To avenge the battle of Waterloo that year, and forcibly find reasons to attack Prussia.

"Okay! I understand!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded, and he decided to end the unpleasant topic just now: "Gentlemen, it seems that our journey will end tomorrow, Secretary Persini long!"

"Yes!" Pessini quickly responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

"During my return to Paris, you will replace me to inspect the provinces that have not been inspected! We must pass on our ideas and our voice to the whole of France!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Pessini .

"It would be a great honor for me to be able to act for Your Majesty. If this is what you wish..." Pessini wrote back to Jerome Bonaparte respectfully.

"By the way, there is one more thing!" Jerome Bonaparte remembered an important thing, and he specially urged: "When your inspection is complete, please go to Le Clézot to invite someone!"

"Le Clézo?" Pessini repeated, thinking about what celebrities in Le Clézo should pay attention to in his mind, he suddenly thought of a "celebrity" who was in Le Clézo and quickly replied: "Your Majesty, You said..."

Pessini said the name of the "celebrity", and Jerome Bonaparte nodded and responded: "That's right! Your task is to bring him to Paris, to me! No problem!"

"Of course there is no problem!" Pescini responded decisively, and couldn't help but pay more attention to that person.

Don't look at him now nesting in that unremarkable town of Le Clézot, once he is "targeted" by His Excellency the President, he will flourish in no time.

Adjutant Canrobert is a typical example.

"Okay! It's getting late, you guys go to bed early!" Jerome Bonaparte waved his hand and issued an order to evict the guest.

Adjutant Canrobert left Jerome Bonaparte's room together with Persini.

Letters from Paris and Württemberg were also placed on the bedroom desk by Persini.

Jerome Bonaparte, who was alone in the bedroom, walked slowly to the exquisitely carved window lattice. He raised his head and glanced at the moon covered by two dark clouds.

Immediately, he sat at the desk and read the two letters carefully and murmured, "Austria or Prussia?"

...

In the early morning of the next day, the morning mist of early autumn shrouded the entire city of Tours, and the misty water vapor condensed on the frame of the window lattice, making people feel a damp and slightly chilly coolness.

At the entrance of the president's temporary residence, the guards stood in a square formation, staring at the hotel door without turning their eyes, waiting for the president to come out.

Finally, when the mist receded from the city of Tours, Jerome Bonaparte, Pessini and others appeared at the gate of the hotel.

A simple double-bridge carriage crossed the phalanx and came to the front of the phalanx at the moment Jerome Bonaparte appeared.

Jerome Bonaparte and Canrobert got into the carriage and headed to Tours train station.

Pescini stopped at the gate of the hotel to do the final finishing touches.

The time gradually came to around 10:00 am, nearly 3 hours had passed since Jerome Bonaparte left.

Mayor De Renal rushed over in a hurry, and he was supposed to enter the hotel, he happened to meet Pessini who was about to leave the hotel.

Mayor De Renal hurried to Pessini, bent his body and asked almost obsequiously: "Secretary Pessini, is Your Excellency still here?"

Pessini glanced at De Renal, and said in a flat tone: "Mr. President has returned to Paris!"

"Ah! Your Excellency the President has returned to Paris!" Mayor de Renal's expression changed instantly.

Doesn't the president's departure mean that his gift cannot be delivered to the person concerned, so how can he impress the president!

"Mr. Mayor, are you looking for a job?" Pessini asked Mayor de Renal, "Before he left, the President entrusted me with full authority to take care of all his affairs in Tours!"

Mayor de Renal glanced at Persini, and he suddenly realized that his original plan was to use the president's cronies to give Clos Lusburg (not so much a castle as an ordinary mansion) to Persini. Sidney, right now is an opportunity.

"It's like this, Your Excellency the President left some things at the dinner yesterday, and I came here specially to return it to Your Excellency the President!" De Renal said while bringing the prepared title deed to Pesini.

Pessini looked at the land deed in De Renal's hands, and he was 100% sure that the so-called president's legacy at the banquet was a "gift" they wanted to give to the president.

"Mr. Mayor, this gift is really expensive! It shouldn't be something left by the president!" Pesini briskly rejected De Renard's gift.

"Mr. Secretary-General!" De Renal took out a French ticket of five thousand francs from his pocket and said nonsense, "This is what you dropped!"

Pessini took the bill from De Renal's hand and looked at the guy in surprise. He didn't expect De Renal to make such a generous move. He immediately smiled and said: "That's right! It was me who dropped it! I didn't expect it to be so generous. You picked it up!"

After all, he quietly put the bill in his arms.

"This..." De Renal hinted at Persini, pointing to the title deed.

"This thing is too precious!" Pessini rejected De Renner again, and then changed the topic: "If it can be proved that the value of this land is within the scope of the gift, I think Mr. President will be willing to accept it. "

"Of course, of course!" De Renal also reacted, he patted his chest and said to Pescini: "Mr. The Ministry had already decided to dismantle it, and it was worth less than 100 francs."

"Less than 100 francs!" Pescini nodded and said, "It's within the scope of the gift!"

"That's right! That's right!" De Renal nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "The most worthless thing these days is land! If Your Excellency the President doesn't want it, we have no choice but to tear it down!"

"Anyway, it's an old house! It's a pity to demolish it. I'll accept it for the president!" Pessini stretched out his hand to take Clolus, who De Renal wanted to give to Jerome Bonaparte. Then he handed Mr. de Renal a five-hundred-franc note and reminded: "This is the purchase of the house by Mr. President!"

"Yes! Yes!" De Renal nodded again: "On behalf of the City Hall of Tours, I would like to thank Your Excellency the President for solving the problems of the City Hall!"

...

September 11, 1849.

Jerome Bonaparte, who had been away from Paris for nearly a month, returned to Paris.

At this time, the Paris train station had already been blocked, and the two sides of the platform were full of members of the Paris National Guard.

It was Fleury, the staff officer of the National Guard Staff Headquarters, who led the National Guard to maintain law and order at the train station. Fleury, who was appointed to the rank of colonel in the National Guard, volunteered to maintain law and order after receiving the news that the president had returned to Paris.

After the approval of the Minister of War Liueli and the Commander-in-Chief of the National Self-Defense Forces Changarnier, he led the National Self-Defense Forces to maintain law and order.

The train from Tours slowly stopped at the platform. The presidential guard got off the train first, followed by Jerome Bonaparte and Canrobert.

"Your Excellency, Fleury, Chief of Staff of the National Guard Staff, reports!" Fleury, who hadn't seen Jerome Bonaparte for a long time, saluted Jerome Bonaparte excitedly.

Jerome Bonaparte also wanted Fleury to return the gift.

Led by Fleury, Jerome Bonaparte got into the carriage.

Escorted by the Guards and the National Guard, Jerome Bonaparte returned to the Elysee Palace.

Jerome Bonaparte, who had just stepped into the gate of the Elysee Palace, said to Fleury in a second: "Fleury, help me call Minister Tocqueville over!"

"Yes!" Fleury responded and turned to leave.

"Colonel Canrobert!" Jerome Bonaparte ordered to Canrobert: "Let the Office of the Presidential Secretary mobilize, I need a detailed information on the military strength of Prussia and Austria."

"I'll arrange it now!" Conrobert also left the Elysee Palace.

"Mokar, you will act as my personal secretary during the period when Pessini is away!" Jerome Bonaparte pointed at Mokar.

"Happy to serve you!" Mokar hurriedly expressed his loyalty to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Let's go! Go back to the study!" Jerome Bonaparte and Mokar returned to the study together.

After about half an hour, Foreign Minister Tocqueville came to the study together with Fleury, and then Fleury left the study alone.

"Your Excellency!" Tocqueville took off his hat and saluted Jerome Bonaparte.

"Minister Tocqueville, I don't want to talk too much nonsense! Please tell me what happened between Prussia and Austria during this period!" Jerome Bonaparte directly said to Tocqueville Will asked.

Tocqueville told Jerome Bonaparte about the contradiction between Prussia and Austria. The problem, of course, is that the central contradiction in all of this lies in the domination of Prussia and Austria over the German region.

"Mr. Tocqueville, I already understand the general situation! Leave the rest to me!"
