Make France Great Again

Chapter 157 Party Struggle and Split

"Make France Great Again ()"!

On September 20, 1849, there were only 10 days left before the Legislative Assembly came out of recess.

In the last 10 days, many aristocratic councilors living in country castles have returned to France one after another. They will use the last time to exchange and communicate with each other, and then strive to confirm their political goals before the reopening of the Legislative Assembly .

Should we support Odilon Barro or oppose Odilon Barro?

Therefore, the three giants of the orthodox faction, Berrier, the count of Falloux, and the count of Montalembert, gathered in a mansion in the Place des Vosges (the owner of the mansion was Berrier) to discuss countermeasures.

[Neo-Orthodox Leader Berryer, Orthodox (Clerical Right Wing) Count Fallou, Orthodox (Clerical Left Wing Liberal Catholic Thought) Count Montalembert]

The three of them sat on three red velvet upholstered sofas centered around the walnut wood square table and were silent. The atmosphere of the whole living room fell into a dignified silence. You could hear the steady breathing of the three of them by listening carefully.

The silent scene didn't last long. As the servants were dragging the Bordeaux wine on the square table with an aluminum tray, the host Berrier immediately said, "How about drinking some wine?"

As Berrier spoke, he skillfully pulled out the loose cork.

Montalembert and Fallou looked at each other and nodded in agreement with Berrier's suggestion.

Berrier poured the wine into three crystal clear glasses. The scarlet wine exuded a faint smell, and a few drops of it "naughtily" sprinkled on the walnut square table.

Berryer handed the wine to Count Falloux and Count Montalembert respectively. He raised his glass and said: "Let us wish our monarch a long and healthy life! May we be able to take France back from the hands of the mob and restore it To God!"

Berrier's extremely pious words resonated with Count Montalembert and Count Falloux.

Since the Bourbon dynasty was usurped by the de Orleans family, their days have been worsened day by day. Under the double brand of orthodoxy and Catholicism, Montalembert and Falloux have been subject to stricter restrictions than Berrier. Orleans will never allow anyone to threaten his throne.

It was not until 1848 that the rise of the February Revolution destroyed d'Orleans and his kingdom, and they were able to relax their surveillance. However, the French crown did not return to the hands of the Bourbon Long Branch, it was taken by the mob, and it On the head of the Bonapartist leader.

Although such a result was somewhat unsatisfactory, it did not fall on the heads of those republicans.

The situation of the church is much better than it was in the Kingdom of Orleans, but it is far worse than when Bourbon Changzhi was in power.

"Take the crown from the mob and give him to God? Well said!"

After a brief resonance, Count Falloux had to return to reality. He repeated what Berrier had just said word by word, but his tone was unusually flat.

"Yes!" Montalembert also nodded in agreement with Earl Fallou.

Three half-full wine glasses collided with each other, and Berryer, Montalembert, and Fallou drank the wine in the glasses.

Berryer, who had a slight blush on his face, took a breath and said, "Mr. Falloux, Mr. Montalembert, what do you think of the opinions put forward by those guys from the Orleans faction?"

Count Falloux and Count Montalembert were taken aback for a moment, and then they realized what Berrier meant.

However, Fallou still pretended not to understand what Berrier was talking about and asked: "Mr. Berrier, we have cooperated with those guys from the Orleans faction a lot, and we have raised a lot of opinions with each other." .I don't know which opinion you're talking about."

"Yes!" Montalembert also echoed.

"That's... that's..." Berrier hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "It's about the alliance between the Orleans faction and the Orthodox faction!"

"Mr. Berrier, I think you should understand the result of this matter!" Earl Fallou suppressed his smile, and asked Berrier seriously.

A wry smile appeared on the corner of Berrier's mouth.

That's right, since he sidestepped the orthodox monarch Henry V in Emra on whether he would like to unite with the Orleanists, Henry V responded to him with a firm attitude.

"I will never cooperate with a regicide, a vile usurper, and neither will you!"

Count Chambord's response completely cut off the possibility of Berryer's cooperation with the Orleans faction. Under Count Chambord's instructions, the orthodox faction must part ways with the Orleans faction, and the orthodox faction must also withdraw from the Odilon Barbados. Luo's cabinet.

In the words of Count Chambord, "If God favors me, I will be honored to be the monarch of France. If God does not wish to favor me, I would rather die in obscurity."

[Of course, after Louis Napoleon succeeded to the throne in the otl world, he may feel that his time is running out. In addition to the intentional matchmaking of the small group around the Earl of Chambord, he once vowed never to unite with the Orleans faction The count of Chambord was still united with the count of Paris. 】

"Lawyer Berrier, you don't want to follow His Majesty's advice!" Earl Fallou asked Berrier.

"I..." Berrier couldn't speak, so he poured another glass of wine and drank it down.

It is a blessing that Berryer has cultivated in eight lifetimes to have such an inflexible monarch as Henry V.

"Both, aren't we here to discuss Mr. Odilon Barro?" Montalembert tried to smooth things over.

"Since His Majesty (Henry V) has decided not to cooperate with the Orleans faction, what can we do!" Count Fallou glanced at Berrier and emphasized: "We can only follow His Majesty's opinion and break with the Orleans faction!"

"Mr. Fallou, I don't think we need to break with the Orleanists so quickly." Berrier objected: "We should continue to support them, and supporting them is also good for us!"

"Mr. Berrier, do you want to ignore His Majesty's order?" Faluber immediately put a "big hat" on Berrier's head.

"I'm not ignoring His Majesty's intentions!" Berrier explained: "We should have some room for mediation with the Orleanists! If His Majesty is willing to cooperate with them one day, we won't be able to..."

"Mr. Berrier, I don't agree with your opinion!" Earl Fallou retorted to Berrier: "We should serve the monarch wholeheartedly, and absolutely must not have any act of arrogance.

Don't you think, M. Berryer, that you can act in place of the sovereign's will? "

Berryer was so angry that he couldn't say a word. He originally planned to form a united front with Count Falloux and Count Montalembert, and he suddenly found that his two allies seemed to have other ideas.

"I agree with Earl Falloux!" Montalembert immediately stood in line with Earl Falloux: "We should wholeheartedly listen to the opinion of the monarch, and we must not behave in the slightest!"

In the face of the pressure from the left and right clerical factions of the orthodox faction and the public opinion of the monarch, Berryer, who is weak and weak, also has nothing to do.

An anti-Barrow or pro-Barrow conference of Orthodox factions ended with an anti-Barrow majority.

Count Falloux and Count Montalembert left Berrier's mansion together, leaving only Berrier who was angry alone in the mansion.

Just as Fallou was about to board the carriage, a hand was placed on his shoulder.

Count Falloux looked behind him, it was Count Montalembert.

"Mr. Falloux, can you walk with me for a while!" Montalembert said to Falloux with a smile.

Fallou nodded, then ordered the coachman to leave, and he and Montalembert walked on the boulevard together.

"Falou, what do you want to do?" Montalembert said calmly to Count Falloux.

"I don't want to do anything!" Fallou responded, and then added: "I just want to leave some more seeds for the church!"

"Is that why you don't like Count Chambord?" Montalembert asked Falloux again.

"I thought the Earl of Chambord would undergo some changes, who knows..." Fallou sighed, looked into the distance with worried eyes and said: "Montalembert, we are not just the monarchist (orthodox), We are the spokesperson of the church!"

"That's right!" Montalembert let out a long breath and said with a wry smile, "There is a church behind us!"

Montalembert and Falloux agreed at this moment.

...

"Your Majesty, Count Falloux is here!"

A servant reported the news of Count Falloux's arrival to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Huh?" Jerome Bonaparte showed a surprised expression. He didn't understand what Minister Fallou wanted from him. "Quick, invite him in!"

"yes!"

Led by the servants of the Elysee Palace, Falloux entered the study.

"Your Excellency the President!" Falloux respectfully said to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Mr. Fallou, please sit down!" Jerome Bonaparte invited Fallou to sit down.

After Fallou took his seat, Jerome Bonaparte said again: "I don't know, Minister Fallou, what do you want from me?"

"Your Excellency, I heard the rumor that you are going to replace Prime Minister Odilon Barro, right!" Count Falloux immediately confronted Jérôme Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte's expression changed slightly, as expected, there is no impenetrable wall in the world.

"That's right!" Jerome Bonaparte said frankly: "I don't think Odilon Barrot is really suitable to be Prime Minister!"

"We discussed this just now!"

The Count of Falloux told Jerome Bonaparte everything that had just happened at the Berrier mansion, including of course the news that the Legitimists would break with the Orleans faction.

"Why are you telling me this? Aren't you with them (neo-orthodox)?" Jerome Bonaparte questioned.

"Your Excellency, we are not only backed by them, but also the church! At some point, we must give priority to the interests of the church, Earl Chambord..."
