Make France Great Again

Chapter 740: Pope, how many divisions does he have?

At 10:10 in the morning, after the steam train came to a slow stop, His Majesty Pope Pius IX and his entourage with a tired face immediately appeared in the sight of Jerome Bonaparte.

well! Pity Pius IX!

Seeing the slightly embarrassed look of Pius IX in the carriage, Jérôme Bonaparte could not help feeling gloating in his heart.

For an old man who is over 60 years old, traveling long distances is indeed a strenuous task. If something goes wrong, he will end up on the road if he is not careful.

He (referring to Jerome Bonaparte) believed that had it not been for the joint dissuasion of the Cardinals and Papal State officials, coupled with the imposition of the Austrian Empire (the Austrian Empire had the right to deny the appointment of the pope, especially now that Catholicism was gradually spreading throughout Europe going downhill), Pius IX said that he would not be willing to come.

Who made the Catholic Church, the Austrian Empire and the Papal States all rely on the French Empire to live their lives? The Catholic Church needs to rely on the powerful national power of the French Empire to spread its teachings around the world, the Austrian Empire needs to resist the Russian Empire with the support of the French Empire, and the Papal State is even more It was necessary to rely on the French Empire to retain the existing land.

Even though Pius IX was the Pope of the Catholic Church and the ruler of the Papal States, he could not resist the combined force of the three parties.

Otherwise, Pius IX would most likely face the fate of dying of illness.

What's more, the reason why the Pope has been able to exist in this world for more than a thousand years is not due to their bottomless behavior.

In the First Empire where Napoleon was located, Pius VII, who claimed to have never rushed to crown someone for more than a thousand years, still crowned Napoleon tremblingly in front of Napoleon's soldiers.

Since Pius VII could still do it with shame, there is no reason why Pius IX should no longer be able to sing praises for the Bonaparte family.

Under the gaze of Jerome Bonaparte, Pius IX walked step by step in front of Jerome Bonaparte.

After the two looked at each other in silence for a moment, Pius IX first spoke to the French monarch in front of him: "Your Excellency Jérôme Bonaparte, I have kept you waiting for so long!"

Jerome Bonaparte's face immediately filled with a smile of joy. He opened his arms and said to Pius IX: "Oh! My Holy Father, you are here!"

Pius IX also opened his arms slightly, and the two embraced each other "passionately", and then quickly separated.

"Thanks to God's blessing, you and your empire defeated the Russian Empire and safeguarded the glory of the Catholic Church..." Pius IX praised Jerome Bonaparte and his Second Empire in a lengthy tone, "Your Majesty , with the unanimous consent of the College of Cardinals! The Papal State will grant you the title of Saint in recognition of your great contribution to the Holy See. I hope you will not refuse!"

Although this so-called saint title is nothing in the eyes of the current Jérôme Bonaparte, as a "filial son of God" he still calmly accepted the title bestowed by Pius IX?

"Holy Father, I will continue to lead France to fight for the glory of Catholicism!" Jerome Bonaparte pretended to have a pious expression in response to Pius IX.

"Good!" Pius IX seemed to be satisfied with Jérôme Bonaparte's "filial piety".

"Right? Holy Father, I have another piece of good news to tell you!" Jerome Bonaparte then said to Pius IX.

"Your Majesty, I am all ears!" Pius IX replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

"After the Paris Conference ends in a few months, you will see a Catholic power re-establishing itself on the land of Europe!" Jerome Bonaparte said slowly but passionately.

"You mean Poland?" Pius IX responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Holy Father, I didn't expect you to know it so soon!" Jerome Bonaparte continued to respond.

"That kid Maximilian has told me everything!" Pius IX responded to Jerome Bonaparte with a slightly trembling voice. He never thought that he would see a Catholic when he was the pope. Nations were re-established in Europe.

"Then this is unnecessary!" Jérôme Bonaparte shook his shoulders slightly and said helplessly.

Archduke Maximilian, who arrived with Pius IX, showed an embarrassed look. He couldn't help but feel ashamed that he informed Pius IX in advance that Poland would be restored.

Originally, it should be said that Jérôme Bonaparte personally informed Pius IX in a surprise way, but now due to Maximilian's advancement, there was no surprise at all.

"No! Your Majesty, your contribution to the Lord can never be erased!" Pius IX hurriedly said to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Holy Father, I feel very honored to hear such praise from you!" Jerome Bonaparte also responded humbly.

Later, at the invitation of Jerome Bonaparte, Pius IX went with him to the carriage in which Jerome Bonaparte came. When he was about to board the carriage, Jerome Bonaparte turned to face Grand Duke Maximilian invited, "Maximilian, are you willing to accompany us in the carriage?"

"Me???" Archduke Maximilian shook his head and refused: "Your Majesty, I'd better be exempted!"

"Then you take another carriage to the Tuileries Palace first. When you get there, ask Mokar to prepare the room!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to him like a considerate big brother. Archduke Maximilian warned.

"Yes!" Archduke Maximilian smiled and nodded.

The main purpose of Archduke Maximilian's trip to Paris was not to deepen ties with France. After all, he was about to take office, but there were a large number of generals close to France in the Kingdom of Poland.

(By the way, the entire Warsaw and its surroundings are now occupied by Polish Zionist armies, and all of these armies are close to the French generals.)

After giving the instructions, Jerome Bonaparte got into the carriage, and Archduke Maximilian also left in another carriage.

After the two carriages left the train station, they split into two groups, one of which went to the Tuileries Palace, while the other destination was also near the Arc de Triomphe.

Pius IX, who was riding in the carriage, looked at the carriage that was gradually disappearing, and couldn't help but feel a trace of panic in his heart.

According to the plan, they also had to go straight to the Tuileries Palace, so why did they have to separate from Maximilian!

"Your Majesty, where are we going?" Pius IX asked Jerome Bonaparte tremblingly.

"Holy Father, you will know when we get there!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Pius IX with a smile on his face. He knew that his next actions would definitely make Pius IX resentful, but this What does it matter? He who rules an empire doesn't care about Sheng Jiushi's likes and dislikes.

As long as he can ensure the safety of the Papal States and maintain the stability of the Apennine Peninsula, then the Papal States can only crawl at his feet.

And the reason why he took this extra step was also to avenge his "one-shot revenge" in the Papal State.

As we all know, Jerome Bonaparte is a very narrow-minded person.

The carriage took Pope Pius IX and Jerome Bonaparte all the way to a location more than 200 meters away from the Arc de Triomphe and stopped. Jerome Bonaparte turned to Pope Pius IX and said: "Holy Father, We have a long walk ahead!”

"Okay!" Pius IX nodded, and then followed Jerome Bonaparte and got out of the carriage.

After getting off the carriage, Pius IX looked ahead and discovered that there was a heavily armed French army under the Arc de Triomphe more than 200 meters in front of him.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" Pius IX said to Jerome Bonaparte with a hint of grief and anger.

"Holy Father!" Jerome Bonaparte deliberately pretended to be innocent and replied to Pius IX: "I just want to invite the Holy Father to review the French army. Don't you like it, Holy Father?"

A forced smile appeared on Pius IX's face. He nodded slowly and said to Jerome Bonaparte: "I like it!"

"Then Holy Father, come with me!" Jérôme Bonaparte "caringly" supported Pius IX and continued to pray.

When Jérôme Bonaparte and Pius IX arrived less than 100 meters away from the Arc de Triomphe, Chief of the General Staff Niel, who served as the interim commander, appeared in front of Jérôme Bonaparte and Pius IX. Salute to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Thank you! Niel!" Jérôme Bonaparte said lightly.

Under the leadership of Niel, Jerome Bonaparte and Pius IX came to the French army square under the Arc de Triomphe.

Every soldier in the phalanx showed murderous expressions, which made Pius IX, who had been pampered for many years, feel weak in the legs.

"Holy Father, these are the soldiers who fought for peace in the Crimea Peninsula!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Pius IX with a smile.

As a monarch who has stayed in the Crimean Peninsula for half a year, this small scene cannot scare him.

Stumbling in French, Pius IX thanked the soldiers present and praised them as the Lord's most faithful defenders.

The soldiers who heard Pius IX's praise showed heartfelt smiles on their faces. Looking for Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com. Coming from rural areas, they have accepted the ideas subconsciously imported by priests and local nobles since childhood, so they are more intelligent than urban people. Believe in God.

The words of Pius IX undoubtedly affirmed their merits and relieved their guilt for killing their compatriots on the Crimean Peninsula.

"Long live His Majesty Bonaparte, long live His Majesty the Pope!" Under Niel's order, all the soldiers shouted hard while leaning forward the bayonets in their hands.

The cold light on the bayonet shone in Pius IX's eyes, making Pius IX feel a sudden chill.

Perhaps because of the bayonet visit, Pius IX looked particularly dull when he baptized Frederick the next day.

However, this is a story for another day.
