Make France Great Again

Chapter 960 The battle between democracy and autocracy

"No! Your Majesty, no!" Basilio explained quickly, "Mr. Olivier and I were thinking about some issues just now, so we didn't say this to each other."

Emile Olivier's response was different from trying to get along with Basilio. He said to Jerome Bonaparte calmly, "Mr. Basilio is right! We are not here because of His Majesty's I deliberately kept silent when I arrived, but it was because Mr. Basilio and I had different views on certain issues, so we fell into silence!"

There was a trace of reproach in the eyes of Basilio standing aside, and he began to complain about the "ignorant" Emile Olivier in his heart, while Emile Olivier responded to Gérault with a calm attitude. M. Bonaparte's next possible question.

"Oh?" After hearing Emile Olivier's answer, Jérôme Bonaparte smiled with interest, and then slowly asked: "What issue were you discussing just now?"

Facing Jérôme Bonaparte's inquiry, Basilio remained silent. Emile Olivier continued to speak, "Mr. Basilio and I will discuss whether you will return the power to you in the future." There have been fierce differences among the Legislative Council on this issue!"

As soon as these words came out, Jerome Bonaparte immediately showed an expression of surprise on his face, while Basilio immediately showed a look of horror on his face.

Not to mention Basilio, even Jérôme Bonaparte did not expect that Emile Olivier would dare to say such "treasonous" words in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte laughed, and then his face showed an extremely serious, even majestic expression. He said coldly: "Mr. Emile Olivier, you know what you just said. , will it cause you much trouble?"

Emile Olivier replied to Jerome Bonaparte without fear, "Your Majesty, I am very aware of the possible consequences of the question I just asked!

Nothing more than being disqualified as a representative, being hunted down again, and thrown into jail. "

"No!" Jérôme Bonaparte shook his head and continued to say to Emile Olivier in a stern tone, "This is really too cheap for you!

You will die in prison due to illness! No one will remember you, no one will care about you! "

"Your Majesty!" Emile Olivier retorted to Jérôme Bonaparte without any sign of weakness, "History will remember me! When your empire collapses, the truth of everything will emerge!

The new republic will remember me, and I will gain spiritual immortality together with the entire republic! "

Basilio, who was standing aside, became even more horrified when he saw this scene. He hurriedly shouted towards the door: "Guards! Guards!"

Emile Olivier raised his head with a victor's expression. It seemed that he had accepted the fate that he might be arrested.

"Basilio, stop screaming! This is the Tuileries Palace, not a prison! I wouldn't go so far as to arrest him here!" Jerome Bonaparte slowly spoke to Basilio. One sentence.

"Your Majesty!" Basilio showed an embarrassed look on his face.

"Mr. Olivier, you are very courageous!" Jérôme Bonaparte praised Emile Olivier. "Except for my wife, who has discussed this issue with me, no one has ever dared to discuss this issue with me. Talk about this in front of everyone!

Everyone thinks that this empire will continue to last forever! "

"Your Majesty, no one wants to lose their rights!" Emile Olivier said to Jérôme Bonaparte slowly, "Those people around you also want to continue to gain rights through the empire!

Before you became emperor, they now hold positions they could not have dreamed of before!

Therefore, no one is more willing to support you as the emperor of the empire than them, and they even love this empire more than you. "

Emile Olivier's speech made Jérôme Bonaparte unable to help but applaud.

"Mr. Olivier, you are absolutely right!" Jérôme Bonaparte shrugged his shoulders and said to Emile Olivier, "Whether it's Rouet or Baros. Well, they love the Empire more than I do!

I even thought about the sudden collapse of the empire ten years later, but they may not have thought that way at all.

Of course, I also know that they do not love me as the emperor, but love the empire that can give them a high position. "

Basilio, who was standing aside, looked even more embarrassed. He always felt that Jerome Bonaparte was connoting him.

Jerome Bonaparte also noticed Basilio's situation, and he quickly added: "For the empire, the more people of this type, the better!

Whether you support the empire or support me, it is much better than opposing it!

Then again, Mr. Emil, what do you think the empire should do to really go further! "

After Emile Olivier thought for a moment, he replied to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, I think you have the answer now!"

"Abandon autocracy and embrace democracy, right?" Jérôme Bonaparte responded to Emile Olivier calmly.

"Yes! Your Majesty, an empire that cannot even enjoy freedom will not be loved by everyone!" Emile Olivier said to Jerome Bonaparte, "Especially for France who naturally advocates freedom. nation!

For freedom, we overthrew three dynasties! "

"But the two republics do not seem to survive under the brilliance of freedom!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Emile Olivier nonchalantly, "Excessive freedom will only lead to the entire situation becoming unstable. Moving forward in an unstoppable direction.

Today you can overthrow a government in the name of freedom, and tomorrow others can overthrow another government in the name of freedom. "

"Your Majesty, this is a free choice!" Emile Olivier responded to Jerome Bonaparte argumentatively.

"Then Mr. Olivier, have you ever thought about other countries!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded coldly to Emile Olivier, "There is a circle of monarchy countries around us. In their eyes, a republic with a chaotic political situation is a perfect target for aggression."

"We can beat them like we did before!" Emile Olivier responded to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Mr. Olivier, open your eyes and see the world!" Jérôme Bonaparte shouted loudly, "France is no longer the France it was back then, and our population is no longer enough to support us in going to war with the entire world!

Do you want to kill another generation? "

Jerome Bonaparte's deafening speech was like a wake-up call, leaving Emile Olivier speechless for a long time.

“The reason France was able to wage wars all over the world in the last century was because of our population advantage!

Now our advantages are gradually disappearing, and the population of the German region has begun to catch up with us!

The Russian population is more than 20 million more than ours (Russia's current population is about 50 million).

Under such circumstances, how can we be the enemy of the whole world! "Jerome Bonaparte asked Emile Olivier.

"But we have defeated the Russian Empire in Crimea, and now the Russian Empire has fallen into division!" Emile Olivier wanted to use the Crimean War to refute.

"The Crimean War was nothing but a trigger for the division of Russia, and Russia will inevitably be reunified!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Emile Olivier, "You don't think that the Russian Empire will always be Let’s continue the current situation!”

Emile Olivier remained silent, while Jérôme Bonaparte took advantage of the victory and pursued, "Once the republic is established and falls into chaos!

Then all the monarchies will unanimously choose to take action against it, the German allied forces will occupy Paris, and then put that idiot Chambord on the throne!

At that time, the freedom you love will be completely turned into a pile of ruins!

In order to prevent the Republic virus from spreading again, the coalition forces will ask France to continue to cede land..."

"Your Majesty, please stop talking!" There was a hint of pleading in Emile Olivier's voice.

"Mr. Olivier, this is the future of the free republic you envision!

A chaotic system and a cabinet that changes orders day and night will not be loved by anyone! "Jérôme Bonaparte responded coldly to Emile Olivier.

"But Your Majesty, how is the autocratic empire under your leadership different from the previous Bourbon dynasty!" Emile Olivier asked in return.

“I gave them the right to vote and gave the French people the right to be proud!

France in the two generations of Bourbons did not have the status it has now!

These are the rights I fought for for France! "Jérôme Bonaparte responded to Emile Olivier with a slightly proud tone.

"Your Majesty, you have indeed brought glory back to France and put France back in its rightful place!" Emile Olivier acknowledged Jérôme Bonaparte's achievements, "I still implore you, Can give French citizens some rights to enjoy freedom!"

"Mr. Olivier, I can promise you that in the near future, the empire will gradually implement controls!" Jérôme Bonaparte slowly said to Emile Olivier, "By that time , I will give the legislative group the right to maintain order in France, and even give them the right to appoint and remove the cabinet."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Emile Olivier responded to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"But it is not now! The current France is not able to possess these powers!" Jerome Bonaparte changed his attitude and said to Emile Olivier, "I must wipe out all the power for France. It’s just obstacles!”
