Make France Great Again

Chapter 993 The chaotic political situation

Under the violent expulsion of Prime Minister Ramamore, several liberal ministers left helplessly.

Standing at the office window, Ramamore looked at the backs of several liberal ministers leaving in carriages, and murmured expressionlessly, "The crisis you talked about may be realized one day in the future, but now the kingdom is in the process of Facing a devastating crisis!”

On this afternoon, with the tacit approval of Ramamore and Victor Immanuel II, the First Division troops that entered Turin, with the cooperation of the Turin police, successively closed down all the liberal newspapers in Turin. , and at the same time arrested more than 200 liberal members working in the newspaper.

However, this was just the beginning. That night, the army and police took action again. This time they were dealing with liberal congressmen.

Many liberal congressmen did not know what was going on, but the arriving soldiers broke into their homes and arrested them, which was like a coup.

Only a few congressmen survived. These congressmen who escaped from the tiger's mouth met in a slum at twelve o'clock, and then each went to inform other congressmen about the arrests by the army.

When the time came to 12 o'clock, all the congressmen who had escaped the military pursuit arrived at the agreed place.

Looking at the embarrassed people, one of the center-left congressmen complained, "I have told you a long time ago that no monarchy is worthy of trust! You had to choose to believe that guy Cavour, now it's better Come on! Are you satisfied?"

"Hollande, shut up! Now is not the time for hindsight!" The person next to the center-left congressman Hollande frowned and shouted loudly, "We must find a way now!"

"How? What else can we do now!" Hollande obviously had no intention of stopping. He asked with a sneer, "Do you still want us people to fight against the army?"

"I can organize an armed uprising against the Kingdom of Sardinia in Turin!" Another Carbonari MP also said, "As long as we can ignite the enthusiasm of the Italian people for the revolutionary cause as we did at the beginning, then We will definitely win!"

"Idiot!" Hollande cursed unceremoniously, "We didn't ignite the revolutionary enthusiasm in Sardinia back then, let alone now!"

"Hollande, what do you think we should do now?" Another moderate Republican congressman pointed the finger at Hollande and said, "We all listen to you!"

"I..." Hollande, who was originally blaming the sky and the earth, was also at a loss for words. He thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a suitable solution.

"Hmph! It turns out that you can only criticize. When it's your turn to solve the problem, you have nothing to do!" the Carbonari MP said to Hollande in a sinister tone.

"You have a way? If you have a way, come and do it!" Hollande said angrily.

"I can't help it, but I don't like to criticize everything like you!" the Carbonari MP replied confidently to Oran.

Seeing that things were gradually developing out of control, another congressman also stood up to smooth things over and said, "Now is not the time for you to quarrel, we must unite now!"

Center-left congressman Hollande and Carbonari congressmen turned their heads at the same time. The peacemaker just now spoke again, "First of all, we must know one thing. Why did the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia suddenly Arrest us!"

"Of course it's because the army itself hates us!" Hollande responded, then showed a disgusted expression, "The kingdom's army is completely controlled by a group of old aristocrats, and they hate liberalism!

Therefore, nature looks down upon us! "

"But the army can't arrest people for no reason. Whose order should they be following?" Another congressman also replied.

"Needless to say, it is naturally our wise and mighty King!" Hollande said to them in a mocking tone, "Who else can mobilize the army in Turin besides him!"

Although the MPs present were reluctant to admit it, they all preferred Hollande's statement.

The only person in the Kingdom of Sardinia who could directly mobilize the army was King Victor Immanuel II.

"Then why did the king send people to suppress us? They have never done this before!"

"Maybe it's because he feels he doesn't need us anymore, so he wants to abandon us!"

The congressmen were talking to each other, and suddenly a voice came from the darkness, "This is because Prime Minister Cavour left Turin, and Ramamore succeeded Cavour as prime minister!"

The MPs all looked at the source of the sound, and what appeared in the darkness was one of the liberal ministers dismissed by Ramamore.

"Why has Ramamore become Prime Minister?" The members of Congress had expressions of surprise on their faces.

"That's right! Ramamore became Prime Minister and he abolished the alliance between Cavour and us!"

"But why would Ramamore do this? No matter how much he hates us, he can't do this!" someone among the members retorted.

"I think His Majesty Victor Emmanuel II could not withstand the pressure from the French Empire, so he made such a choice!" Someone else among the members speculated, "It just so happened that Prime Minister Cavour was not here. , His Majesty Victor Inmanuel II would choose Ramamore as Prime Minister to drive us away!"

"That's not right! The French side only asked for restrictions on the circulation of newspapers and the promotion of nationalist sentiments, but did not ask the kingdom to arrest us!"

"Tell me, are there any other reasons for this arrest?"

Despite some direction provided by liberal ministers, MPs still have not found the right answer.

At this moment, a group of Sardinian soldiers wearing green military uniforms appeared in the darkness. They raised their Miner rifles and walked out of the darkness uniformly.

"Members of Congress, it's really not easy to find you. Please come with us! I don't want to fight with you!" the leading officer said politely to the group of members.

Under the threat of bayonets and bullets, all the MPs did not choose to resist. They followed the officers to the prison on the outskirts of Turin.

This usually idle prison was particularly lively on this day. Liberal MPs, generals, newspaper members, and liberal ministers were all imprisoned in this prison, including Brigadier General Giuseppe Garibaldi.

(Giuseppe Garibaldi was appointed brigadier general by Cavour in 1852, but he did not have the power to command the army)

The new congressmen who entered the prison had expressions of surprise on their faces after seeing Giuseppe Garibaldi.

Several congressmen who were familiar with Giuseppe Garibaldi came to Giuseppe Garibaldi and asked him what happened.

Giuseppe Garibaldi also showed a confused look, obviously he didn't know any more than they did.

As a result, this group of newly arrived prisoners began to communicate with other people in the prison. After a while, Prime Minister Ramamore of the Kingdom of Sardinia and Lieutenant General Charles Alberto appeared at the scene. in front of people.

Ramamore said to everyone in the prison with great enthusiasm, "Everyone, how do you feel now?"

Everyone in the prison cursed Ramamore and wanted to pull all Ramamore's ancestors out of the pile.

Lamamore didn't pay any attention to the insults hurled at him by the losers in front of him. After everyone in the prison became silent, Lamamore narrowed his eyes and smiled and said to them, "Everyone, have you finished cursing! What if? After I finish cursing, I will speak!

If not, keep going! I can wait! "

Everyone in the prison looked at Ramamore, who looked like a man with a knife, and stopped talking.

The originally bustling prison suddenly became quiet. Ramamore spoke to everyone present again, "Everyone, all of you will be deported tomorrow... no, this morning!"

“We are MPs and we deserve the right not to be evicted!

” the MPs all said to Ramamore.

"It's a pity!" Ramamore sighed in a pretentious manner, "His Majesty has announced the dissolution of Parliament this afternoon, which means you are no longer members!

Because the new round of voting has not started yet! "

"Why didn't His Majesty notify us of the dissolution of Parliament?" the MP asked Ramamore again.

"I'm here to inform you now!" Ramamore responded to the MPs.

"Lamamore!" Giuseppe Garibaldi, who had been silent until now, stood up and looked at Ramamore.

"Brigadier General Giuseppe Garibaldi, you should call me Minister Ramamore or Prime Minister, or call me Marshal!" Ramamore said to Giuseppe Garibaldi in prison with a joking expression. .

"What on earth do you want to do?" Giuseppe Garibaldi yelled at Ramamore.

"I don't want to do anything! I'm just executing an order!" Ramamore responded to Giuseppe Garibaldi with a shrug of his shoulders.

"Whose order!" Giuseppe Garibaldi asked Ramamore.

"His Majesty the King's order!" Ramamore replied to Giuseppe Gallio.

The faces of the people in the prison showed expressions of disappointment. They originally placed their hopes of unifying the Apennines on the Kingdom of Sardinia and on Victor Immanuel II. It's a non-human thing.

"Of course, there is also the ultimatum issued to us by the Austrian Empire!" Ramamore said again.

"What is going on? What ultimatum?" Giuseppe Garibaldi asked again.

"Since you want to know, then I will tell you everything that happened today..."
