The 111st chapter military parade (3)

Changarnier, who received orders from Jérôme Bonaparte, the nominal supreme military commander of France, issued the order to "disband the Einsatzgruppe" to his adjutant.

The adjutant, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately paid a military salute to Jérôme Bonaparte and Changarnier, and then drove his horse to the suburbs of Saint-Denis.

As for why the Einsatzgruppe are in the suburbs and not in the city center.

Of course, in order to prevent the riots that occurred during the disbandment process from affecting the mood of the review, Changarnier specifically instructed the adjutant to arrange the Einsatzgruppe in the suburbs of Saint-Denis.

Once the Einsatzgruppen rebelled, the Suburban Legion could eliminate the Einsatzgruppen members on the spot without alerting Paris.

After the adjutant left, Changarnier and Odilon Barro had smiles on their faces, and they finally eliminated this uncontrolled armed force.

"Your Excellency, let's continue the review!" Odilon Barro drove his horse to Jerome Bonaparte's side and said.

"Yeah!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded slightly and continued to review the troops.

Accompanied by Changarnier and Odilon Barrot, Jérôme Bonaparte once again reviewed the soldiers of the two infantry regiments stationed at the "Palais de Bourbon".

Changarnier drove his horse to the infantry square. He waved his hand and shouted: "Long live Bonaparte! Long live the Emperor!"

With General Changarnier taking the lead in shouting, the officers of the two infantry regiments instantly received the signal. They no longer forcibly suppressed the soldiers' respect for the emperor, but instead joined in shouting with the soldiers.

"Long live Bonaparte! Long live the Emperor!"

The slogan "Long live Bonaparte! Long live the Emperor!" spread like a plague in an instant. The soldiers of the infantry square with the Bourbon Palace as the center dragged the mtl1842 muzzleloaders behind them in their hands and shouted, the cavalry

The cavalrymen in the phalanx also raised the sabers on their waists to the ceiling. The sabers under the sunlight gave off a dazzling silver light and the shouts came one after another. It was like the reappearance of the empire.

Jerome Bonaparte waved to the soldiers present with a smile.

If anyone pays attention, they will find that Jerome Bonaparte's waving movements are so mechanical, and his smile is also so stiff.

Jérôme Bonaparte, who was riding on the horse, understood that the slogan "Long live the Emperor" was a small reward from Changarnier and others for Jérôme Bonaparte's order to disband the Einsatzgruppe. At the same time, it was also a subtle warning to Jérôme.

Bonaparte, with the entire army in Paris and the suburbs in their hands, was their puppet.

Just wait and see! You won’t be proud for long!

Jérôme Bonaparte once again strengthened his determination and would definitely remove Changarnier.

Of course, in addition to Jérôme Bonaparte, there were also Republican and Montagnard MPs who were equally dissatisfied with the Party of Order.

At this time, they were being protected by "loyal" French soldiers in the Bourbon Palace.

The shouts outside the Bourbon Palace made the republicans and the Montagnards in the Bourbon Palace very uneasy. They didn't know whether the group of Qiu Ba would invade the Bourbon Palace and declare that they no longer enjoyed the protection of the Constitution and became "national traitors".

Many frightened moderate republican MPs sat in the seats occupied by MPs from the Party of Order under the disdainful eyes of the Republicans.

[The political parties in France in the 19th century were not the same as those in the United States and England. Political parties could be interchanged back and forth. Members of the Party of Order could become Republicans and Montagnards, and the Montagnards could also switch to Republicans. The price paid for switching camps was not much.

Just move it to the seat where the corresponding political party is located.】

Faced with the addition of moderate republican legislators, members of the Party of Order headed by Thiers stood up and applauded.

The National Assembly at the Palais Bourbon burst into warm applause.

"Welcome to join us. Joining us is the wisest choice!" Thiers shook hands with the moderate republican congressmen who defected in turn.

The moderate republican MPs who defected sat down again under Thiers' arrangement, and the Party of Order's 350 seats in parliament suddenly became 370.

If we take into account the 80 Mountain Party members who were raided and arrested the night before yesterday, the Party of Order in the Parliament has become a veritable majority.

Of course, the Party of Order's naked intimidation and inducement obviously made Ludru Roland of the Mountain Party unable to stand it, and he raised his hands.

Speaker Marast, who was sitting on the rostrum, knocked the hammer to indicate silence, and then asked Ludru Roland: "Congressman Roland, what do you want to say?"

"I protest!" Ledru Roland stood up and rebuked the Party of Order. He pointed his finger at Thiers and said, "I protest against the Party of Order's use of threats to get members of parliament to join them. They are trampling on the Constitution of the Republic!"

"Tch!" The Party of Order camp let out a burst of "boos", and they dismissed Ludru Roland's accusation.

"Member Roland!" Thiers stood up and said unhurriedly: "We did not use threats to force the members to join, they joined us voluntarily! Your Montagnard party will not allow people to withdraw!"

"You..." Ludru Roland looked at Thiers with disgust, "Why did you deploy the army outside the Bourbon Palace? Don't you know that the National Assembly is sacred and inviolable?"

"Of course we know!" Thiers said eloquently: "We know that the authority of the National Assembly is sacred and inviolable, so we transferred the troops to the National Assembly to prevent accidents!"

"Then why did you arrest so many of our congressmen yesterday? 50 of them were arrested at once!" Ledru Roland asked Thiers again.

"We have evidence that your MP is in contact with a group of thugs!" Thiers, who was confident of winning, made a false accusation against the Montagnard party of Ledrout Rolland.

"You..." Ludru Roland couldn't say a word. He glanced around with a disappointed expression on his face. No one present was willing to fight against such a "big thief".

Ludru Roland, who lost his fighting spirit, could only sit back again.

"Okay! Gentlemen, now is not the time to talk about this. We have to talk about the issue of the Constituent Assembly!" Thiers, who had been planning with Odilon Barrot for many days, used the support of the army to make a plan.

: "I think the Constituent Assembly has fulfilled their responsibilities and it is time to dissolve it!"

"No! How could it be dissolved so quickly before the "organic law" has been perfected!" Bold republican congressmen objected.

"We can formulate it at the same time as we elect!" Thiers "considerately" chose a plan for the republicans, and then threatened: "Do you want to keep delaying it? The Republic has been perfected, and the Constitutional Committee must be dissolved!"

Thiers' tough attitude made both the Montagnards and the Republicans look down upon him, and they stood up to "campaign" against Thiers.

Molay, who also belongs to the Party of Order, quickly stood up and said, "Since everyone is deadlocked, I propose a voting method to decide whether the current situation should be changed from constitution-making to constitution-making!"

With the loss of 50 left-wing congressmen, the vote was definitely unfavorable to the "Democratic Party", but they found no reason to refute it.

[Democratic parties: This refers to the Republicans and the Mountain Party.]

Just as the "democratic parties" hesitated, intensive gunfire reached the Bourbon Palace.

The expressions of the members of the "Democratic Party" suddenly changed, and they all looked at Thiers.

"No one said you can't celebrate by firing off guns during a review!" Thiers said in a brisk tone.

Under the joint threat of the Party of Order and the army, the "democratic parties" could only humbly agree to the suggestions of the Party of Order.

The proposal "on the dissolution of the Constituent Assembly" was passed by a slim vote of 355 to 345.

The National Assembly will be re-elected in March.

The National Assembly, which gained prestige through the June Massacre, has since lost its prestige.
