Make France Great Again

Chapter 319 The Empire is the Republic

Seeing Jérôme Bonaparte solemnly promising him that he would improve the French public health system, the doctor believed it for a moment, and his eyes gradually changed from stern to soft.

"Your Excellency, your illness is not a serious one. You will be fully recovered after taking two more doses!"

As he spoke, the doctor took out two bottles of green, viscous medicine from his medicine cabinet.

Looking at the two bottles of viscous medicine in front of the doctor, Jérôme Bonaparte had a look of resistance on his face, and the bitter water in his abdomen was churning back and forth as if he had received a specific signal. It was really uncomfortable.

After a while, Jérôme Bonaparte, who had calmed down the "turmoil", pointed to the potion and asked: "Are these two potions still consumed as before?"

The doctor shook his head and responded to Jérôme Bonaparte: "That's not necessary! If you find the smell of the medicine intolerable, you can add water to dilute it."

"What!" Jerome Bonaparte looked at the doctor in front of him in surprise. At this time, he could not believe his ears: "You just said that the medicine can be mixed with water to drink!"

"That's right!" The doctor nodded in reply: "If you can't mix it with water, no one will be willing to try this bitter and astringent thing!"

After saying that, a faint smile appeared on the doctor's lips.

Jérôme Bonaparte was certain that he had definitely not reminded himself of the bottle of potion just now.

"Speaking of it like this! Just now I..." Jérôme Bonaparte said with a touch of sullenness.

"Sir, I'm so sorry!" The doctor decisively expressed his apology to Jérôme Bonaparte, and then responded calmly: "If you really punish me, then I have nothing to say!"

The doctor's attitude of admitting his mistake made it difficult for Jérôme Bonaparte to continue to hold him accountable. He (referring to Jérôme Bonaparte) could only respond with a smile: It will not happen again.

Subsequently, Jérôme Bonaparte ordered Morny to pay the medical bills and then sent the doctor away.

Faced with Morny's sky-high medical expenses of two thousand francs, the doctor did not accept it and told Jerome Bonaparte that the reason why he chose to help Jerome Bonaparte with his treatment was just to ask him Some hygienic suggestions, as long as Jérôme Bonaparte can accept his suggestions.

Seeing that the doctor refused to accept the medical expenses, Jerome Bonaparte did not dare to force it, so he ordered Morny to send the doctor back.

After Morny left, Jerome Bonaparte began to think about the departmental suggestions given by the doctor. After thinking about it for a long time, Jerome Bonaparte decided to try to establish a nursing hospital after returning to Paris.

As the doctor just said, a good nurse can effectively reduce patient mortality.

In order to prevent himself from forgetting his new complicated and trivial matters, Jerome Bonaparte once again took out the slightly yellowed letter paper, took out the quill dipped in ink, and wrote down all his plans. This time, he would still use Paris as the experimental field for testing.

If the public health system is maintained in good condition, it would not be a bad idea to extend it to France.

Thinking of hygiene, Jérôme Bonaparte also thought of the dirty and messy environment in Saint-Denis and Montmartre. He understood that in order to solve the problem from the root, it was necessary to carry out large-scale transformation of Paris, so that Paris becomes a modern city. Only that person can do such a project.

The plan to "renovate Paris" was also written on the letter by Jérôme Bonaparte to prevent himself from forgetting it.

Just as Jérôme Bonaparte was "checking for leaks and fixing them", the sound of Martin boots stepping on the wooden stairs reached his ears. Jérôme Bonaparte raised his head and looked at the open door.

A few seconds later, Reignault, the commander of Strasbourg, appeared in front of Jérôme Bonaparte, followed by the deputy commander and the chief of staff of the front army.

"Your Majesty!" Commander Renault said loudly after entering the room, straightening his body and saluting Jérôme Bonaparte.

Jérôme Bonaparte stood up without saying a word and returned the salute to Commander Renault. Even as the supreme commander, he was not immune to the etiquette between the troops. Only in this way can the superiors and subordinates truly be consistent.

After the two parties were polite to each other, Commander Renault told Jérôme Bonaparte that the mayor of Strasbourg, the governor of the Eastern Region, senior officials of the Lower Rhineland Province and celebrities from Strasbourg were already there. The Town Hall awaits the arrival of Jérôme Bonaparte and invites him to follow them to Strasbourg.

[PS: Strasbourg is not only the capital of the Eastern Region, but also the provincial capital of Lower Rhineland. It is also the forefront of France's war against Germany. 】

Jérôme Bonaparte nodded to Commander Renault and followed Renault and others out of the hotel.

Before leaving, Jérôme Bonaparte specifically asked the guard responsible for guarding the hotel to tell the returning Morny the news that he was going to the city hall.

After leaving the hotel, Jerome Bonaparte rode to the city hall with Commander Regno. The ones responsible for protecting Jerome Bonaparte were still the same hussars wearing imperial uniforms as yesterday.

Along the way from the hotel to the city hall, Jerome Bonaparte was warmly welcomed by the residents of Strasbourg. The people of Strasbourg welcomed Jerome Bonaparte with warm "German".

Jérôme Bonaparte smiled and showed his kindness to these pure French people. In his opinion, as long as he identifies himself as a French person in his heart and abides by the French Constitution, he is a veritable French person. The use of words cannot cover up his passionate heart. French heart.

What's more, Alsace-Lorraine's actions in history have been perfectly illustrated. They are truly French. Any ambitious person who attempts to divide Alsace-Lorraine with language will inevitably be resisted by people.

Amid the cheers of the people, Jerome Bonaparte once again came to the door of the city hall. The mayor of the Eastern Region, senior officials and the mayor of Strasbourg welcomed Jerome Bonaparte.

After Jérôme Bonaparte dismounted and shook hands with them one by one, he dismounted and looked at the crowd at the city hall and made an impromptu speech: "People of Strasbourg, thank you for your firm vote of approval for me in December last year. . It is because of you that I was able to save France, which was on the verge of collapse, from chaos! It was you who saved France!"

After finishing the first paragraph, Jerome Bonaparte bowed politely to the crowd in Strasbourg.

The crowd broke into chants of "Long live the Emperor."

After the slogan ended, Jérôme Bonaparte continued: "...We all know that the republican system in 1851 was once destroyed. The parties in the parliament cannot feel the pain of the destruction of the system, but place their hope in The floating wreckage raised its own flag. Now, the Second Republic has been destroyed and the Third Republic has been established.

Many parties believe that I am about to abandon the republic. Here I will solemnly accuse that I will never abandon the republican spirit. "

Jerome Bonaparte cleverly used the republican spirit to cover up his imperial desires.

When the governor, senior officials and mayor of the Eastern Region heard that Jérôme Bonaparte would not give up the Republic, their faces showed some confusion.

Could it be that their flattery really hit the horse's leg?

Jerome's next sentence dispelled all their doubts: "So what is the republican spirit? In my opinion, it is the implementation of the universal suffrage system. As long as the universal suffrage system still exists, the republican spirit will never disappear, no matter the empire !Republic or not, it’s just a different name!

Could it be said that empire must be able to represent war? Does the Republic necessarily represent peace? "

Jerome Bonaparte asked a question, and the city hall was silent. He shook his head to himself: "No! That's not the case! In my opinion, empire does not mean war, on the contrary, it means peace. To be able to Peace under a moderate system, the revolutionary fanaticism has dissipated, we should cherish peace even more, the empire is peace!

But I also admit that I have as much conquest to do as the Emperor does. Like him, I want to coordinate the interests of various parties, and introduce all hostile tributaries that are mutually extinct and meaningless to anyone into the torrent of people. We must gradually build more railways, improve more road networks, and build one after another. For a steel processing plant, we must try our best to protect the interests of labor workers and small and medium-sized entrepreneurs. Government departments should support small and medium-sized enterprises... I believe that with our joint efforts, France will definitely move towards a new path. !

The Empire is the Republic! "

In the end, Jérôme Bonaparte concluded with "The Empire is the Republic", and after a brief silence in the city hall, more warm applause and cheers broke out.

Slogans of "Long live the emperor" kept coming one after another.

Amid fanatical slogans, Jérôme Bonaparte waved his hand and entered the city hall under the leadership of city hall officials.

"Your Majesty, your speech was really good!" the head of the Eastern Region flattered Jérôme Bonaparte.

Jérôme Bonaparte smiled and said nothing, looking for the bookstore www.zhaoshuyuan. com He understands the integrity of this group of bureaucrats very well. Even though he is being praised by many stars now, once he shows any signs of losing power, these guys will abandon them without hesitation.

Led by the regional mayor and others, Jérôme Bonaparte met with celebrities from the eastern region in the conference hall of the city hall.

This group of mine owners, who were deeply benefited by railways and steel plants, faced Jerome Bonaparte with great enthusiasm. Jerome Bonaparte also encouraged mine owners and factory owners to serve France more, and It implies that their government will give appropriate tax policy tilt to the eastern region government in the next actions, as long as they can actively purchase the national debt that France is about to issue.

The mine owners immediately patted their chests and assured Jérôme Bonaparte that they would actively purchase national debt.

Amidst the laughter, Jérôme Bonaparte completed half of his trip to Strasbourg.
