Make France Great Again

Jérôme Bonaparte, who was sitting on the sofa, put his hands on his thighs, lowered his head, and one alternate candidate after another flashed through his mind like a slideshow.

After a period of careful thinking, Jérôme Bonaparte suddenly thought of a person.

Maybe let him give it a try! Jérôme Bonaparte secretly thought.

Jérôme Bonaparte, who had determined the candidate for Secretary General, was determined to remove Lucien Murat after the Italian problem was over.

However, before the Italian problem was completely resolved, Jerome Bonaparte had to properly comfort Lucien Murat and meet the future secretary-general in his heart.

After all, the other party's current identity is one of the opposition members of the empire.

If you want to recruit him, you really need to spend some time and even make some concessions.

Immediately afterwards, Basilio appeared in Jerome Bonaparte's study.

"Your Majesty, it's dinner time!" Basilio said respectfully to Jerome Bonaparte.

"I know!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded, got up and followed Basilio to the restaurant.

After arriving at the restaurant, Jérôme Bonaparte saw Augusta, who had been waiting in the restaurant for some time, and sat down next to Augusta with a smile.

Augusta then asked Jerome Bonaparte: "Ambassador Kautz and Ambassador Richard Metternich, what do you want from you?"

“It is nothing more than expressing concern for our assassination on behalf of their monarch, and then making some promises that they cannot fulfill!

"Jerome Bonaparte shrugged his shoulders and responded casually.

"What promise?" Queen Augusta asked curiously.

Jérôme Bonaparte told Augusta about Ambassador Kautz's promise, and Augusta responded curiously: "Ambassador Kautz's promise does not seem difficult to solve!"

"Britain will never agree to Ambassador Coutts' promise!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded to Augusta with a firm tone. "Even if the Palmerston cabinet is willing to agree, I can guarantee that this resolution will not be passed in the House of Commons. It won’t be passed!”

"Why?" Queen Augusta asked Jérôme Bonaparte curiously.

At this moment, the trolley entered the restaurant and placed Jérôme Bonaparte and Augusta's lunch in front of them.

Jerome Bonaparte said while eating, "Because there are too many exile forces in Britain, these exile forces are intertwined with each other to form a powerful interest group in Britain, and this interest group indirectly affects British policies.

What they fear most is the passage of the extradition bill. Once passed, it means that their safety in Britain cannot be effectively guaranteed.

If the remaining countries also ask Britain for the exile power of their own countries, then Britain will agree to their conditions due to legal obstacles.

Therefore, they will never let the law pass smoothly. "

"So that's it?" Augusta looked astonished, "Why did Ambassador Kautz make this impossible promise!"

"Perhaps Ambassador Kautz doesn't know what a huge resistance he has to face!" Jerome Bonaparte said calmly, "Okay! Let's not talk about this anymore! Let's eat!"

Jerome Bonaparte spent nearly an hour with Augusta and ended the lunch.

Near the end, Jérôme Bonaparte spoke to Augusta again, "Tomorrow I will hold a grand meeting at the Louvre to appease the officials who serve the empire loyally!

Augusta, would you like to meet them with me?

"

"Of course!" Augusta said to Jérôme Bonaparte without thinking.

…

In the afternoon of the same day, Jerome Bonaparte ordered Basilio to send people to distribute invitations to cabinet ministers, senior officials of the Seine Province, generals of the Seine Province military region, and representatives of the legislative group, inviting them to go to the Louvre tomorrow.

"Your Majesty, do you also want to send a letter of invitation to the Republican representatives of the legislative group?" Basilio asked specifically.

"Of course! Those republican representatives also represent the will of some French people, and they should be respected by the Tuileries Palace!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded and said to Basilio.

"Understood!" Basilio responded to Jerome Bonaparte, but immediately Basilio raised another question, "Your Majesty, if those representatives are not willing to come..."

"You just need to stuff the invitation letter in! If they can't get through, it's their own business!" Jerome Bonaparte said in a calm tone.

"yes!"

Basilio immediately started busy after leaving the study. About an hour later, all the invitations were ready.

Then, Basilio handed the invitation letter to the cavalry guards in the Tuileries Palace and ordered them to deliver the invitation letters to the inviters in batches.

More than 20 Guards Cavalry began to move in a small group of three. After leaving the Tuileries Palace, they on horseback quickly moved in different directions.

Invitations were sent to the inviters one after another. Many of the invitees smiled after receiving the invitation from Tuyinleli Palace.

There are also a small number of invitees who are very confused after seeing Jerome Bonaparte's invitation letter.

This group of puzzled invitees were Jules Favre and others who represented the minority republican faction in the Legislative Council.

When Jules Favre received the invitation letter sent by the Guards Cavalry of the Palace of Tuilleries, he immediately handed the invitation letter back to the Guards Cavalry, and then said seriously: "You sent it to the wrong address!"

The Guards Cavalry took the invitation, opened it and said word by word: "You must be Mr. Jules Favre!"

Jules Favre was stunned for a moment, and then responded to the Guards Cavalry: "Yes! I am Jules Favre!"

"That's no problem!" The Guards Cavalry handed the invitation letter back to Jules Favre's hands and said expressionlessly, "Mr. Favre, I did not send the wrong address, this is indeed yours Invitation card!"

Jules Favre took the invitation and opened it.

The name written on the big red invitation is indeed his Jules Favre!

What did Jérôme Bonaparte want to do? Jules Favre thought to himself.

He did not understand Jérôme Bonaparte's intention. People who were loyal to the empire should be invited to a meeting like this. People like them who had no loyalty to the empire at all would logically not be Invited objects.

Why did Jerome Bonaparte choose to invite them to attend? Is there some conspiracy?

Just when Jules Favre was thinking about it, the voice of the Guards Cavalry reached Jules Favre's ears: "Mr. Favre, I'm leaving first!"

Jules Favre, who had returned, hurried to the Guards Cavalry and said, "Wait a minute!"

"Mr. Favre, do you have anything else to do?" the Guards Cavalry looked at Jules Favre in confusion.

Jules Favre handed over the invitation letter again, and then said righteously to the Guards Cavalry: "Please return this invitation letter to your master, Jérôme Bonaparte, and tell him!

We will never give in to them! "

"Mr. Favre!" A slight contemptuous smile appeared on the lips of the Guards Cavalry, and he said in a proud tone, "This invitation is not to recruit you. If you are willing to come tomorrow, then come!

If you don't want to, just pretend you didn't receive this invitation!

There is absolutely no possibility of taking back what Du Yin Leli Palace has given away. "

After saying that, the Guards Cavalry proudly held his head high and left Jules Favre's residence.

Jules Favre placed the invitation on the table and paced back and forth. He really didn't know whether he was going or not.

After a while, a knock on the door came from Jules Favre's room.

Jules Favre turned to the door and asked who the guest was in the room!

"Favre, I am Ainon (Jacques-Louis Ainon)" Jacques-Louis Ainon's voice came from outside the door.

Jules Favre hurriedly opened the door after hearing Ainon's voice.

After the two shook hands with each other, Jules Favre asked Enon the purpose of coming to his house.

Enon, who entered the room, saw the invitation letter placed by Jules Favre on the table, with a surprised expression on his face, then pointed at the invitation letter and asked, "You also received this!"

"What? You have one too?" Jules Favre also had a look of surprise on his face.

Ainon quickly took out the invitation letter and said to Jules Favre: "That's right! I also received the invitation letter!"

"Can you lend it to me?" Jules Favre said to Ainon.

"Of course!" Ainon nodded and said to Jules Favre, and then he handed the invitation letter to Jules Favre.

Jules Favre opened the invitation. The content and wording of the invitation were exactly the same as those in his invitation.

"Favre, what do you think Jérôme Bonaparte wants to do?" Ainon asked, and then he speculated, "The purpose of sending us the invitation letter is not to recruit us. Bar!"

Jules Favre shook his head and said to Ainon, "I think Jerome Bonaparte should know that neither of us will ever compromise with the empire!"

"Then... what should we do now?" Enon asked as a gift, "Are we going to participate in the invitation?"

After Jules Favre thought for a moment, he responded to Ainon: "Wait a little longer!"

"Wait! What are you waiting for!" Ainon asked Jules Favre in confusion.

The next moment, the knock on the door rang again. Jules Favre stood up and responded to Ainon with a smile, "Look, someone is coming again! I guess it must be Piccard and Olivier!"

After saying that, Jules Favre hurriedly ran to the door of the room and opened the door.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Favre!" As expected, the people standing at the door were none other than the last two of the Republican quartet, Emile Olivier and Ernest Piccard.

[At this time in history, the Republicans had five opposition representatives

But now, Jerome Bonaparte has included Alfred Dalimon, who was originally a representative of the republican faction.

Only four of the original five opponents were left. 】

"Olivier, Piccard, you are here!" Jules Favre shook hands with Emile Olivier and Ernest Piccard and gave each of them a hug.

Later, Jules Favre brought Emile Olivier and Ernest Piccard to Jacques-Louis Ainon.

"Have you also received an invitation from the Tuileries Palace?" Ainon immediately asked Emile Olivier and Ernest Piccard.

"That's right!" Emile Olivier and Ernest Piccard took out invitations at the same time, "Both of us can't decide whether to go or not, so we came here to ask for your advice! "

Jules Favre glanced at the invitation letters in the hands of Emile Olivier and Ernest Piccard, and after a moment of silence he said to them: "Now it seems that all of us have received the invitation letters. !""

"I'm afraid we are not the only ones who have received invitations, there are many others!" Emile Olivier revealed a hint of sadness between his brows, and he replied to Jules Favre, "But Jérôme .What is Bonaparte’s purpose? Is it simply to celebrate that he was not assassinated by an assassin, or is it for other reasons..."

"How about we ask Darimon!" Ernest Piccard, "He should know something about this invitation!"
