In an autocratic empire, once a certain policy/proposal obtains the support of the autocratic monarch, the implementation of this policy will become very simple.
The Austrian ambassador to France, Baron Hubboy, received a telegram from Vienna the next day. The telegram praised his behavior in winning over France and also agreed with Baron Hubboy's opinion.
Baron Huboy immediately took a carriage to the Elysée Palace to inform Jerome Bonaparte of the "good news".
"Your Excellency, His Majesty Franz and Prime Minister Schwarzenberg have agreed to all your conditions!" Baron Huboy reported to Jérôme Bonaparte.
"That's great!" Jerome Bonaparte also showed a hypocritical smile, and then changed the subject and said nakedly: "I wonder which piece of land the Austrian Empire is willing to support France to claim?"
"Some historical issues on the left bank of the Rhineland! The empire will support the French Republic in safeguarding its own interests!" Baron Huboy made no secret of his "traitorous" intentions.
"Then how should the Austrian Empire support this reasonable demand of the French Republic?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked persistently.
"Your Excellency, there will definitely be a war between Prussia and Austria! The loser will accept all the conditions of the winner!" Baron Huboy wrote his blank check to Jerome Bonaparte.
Jérôme Bonaparte, who knew the strength of the Austrian Empire well, was not afraid that the Austrian Empire would defeat France like Bismarck of Prussia. Their army would only gradually decay over time.
Now they need to replace France to weaken Prussia.
If the French Republic had not been subject to too many restrictions, Jérôme Bonaparte would have had to personally deal with the ugly product born in 1815.
Because of the problems between Prussia and Austria, Jerome Bonaparte had not been able to sleep well for several nights in a row.
Huboy looked at the silent Jérôme Bonaparte uneasily. He didn't know whether his empty promise could attract this greedy president.
Until he heard Jerome Bonaparte's "natural voice": "I hope you can defeat Prussia and maintain peace in Europe!"
The big stone in Baron Huboy's heart fell to the ground. He bowed slightly like Jerome Bonaparte and said: "Your Excellency, thank you for your support to the Austrian Empire!"
"Supporting Austria also supports France!" Jerome Bonaparte said from the bottom of his heart.
If he had to face an enemy in Germany, he would rather face a multi-ethnic Austria than face the "German Empire" whose population and soldiers were slightly better than France's.
After telling Jerome Bonaparte the resolution of Vienna, Baron Huboy left the Elysée Palace with firm steps. He believed that Austria, with the support of Russia and France, would be able to defeat Prussia.
Alas! I hope you can give me some help!
Jerome Bonaparte also prayed that the Austrian Empire would weaken the Kingdom of Prussia.
After dealing with the crisis in Germany, he could finally free up his hands to unseat Prime Minister Barrow, whom he had personally supported.
If Barrow had not chosen to go to Britain to meet Louis Philippe, he would have been able to remain Prime Minister for a long time.
…
That night, in the conference room of the Elysee Palace, all senior members of the Bonapartist faction except Pesini and Mokar attended the meeting.
In the conference room, Jerome Bonaparte sat in the main seat, Prince Montfort (old Jérôme Bonaparte) sat opposite Jerome Bonaparte, Morny and Eugène Roux.
Eze sat on either side of Jerome Bonaparte.
"Everyone, I have received the latest news! Our Prime Minister Barrow has contacted the British one!" Jerome Bonaparte said calmly to everyone present.
The moment Jérôme Bonaparte announced this "bombshell" to everyone, there was a small uproar in the conference room, and many Bonapartist members who had worked under Louis Philippe expressed melancholy.
expression.
Jerome Bonaparte turned his attention to Pierre Bonaparte, and he wanted to hear his cousin's opinion.
Having been given the power to contact and win over members of Congress by Jerome Bonaparte a long time ago, El Bonaparte could only bite the bullet and respond: "During this period,
, I have secretly contacted a group of congressmen, and most of them do not agree with the removal of Barrow!"
"Understandable!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded to express his understanding.
Before Pierre Bonaparte could breathe a sigh of relief, Jerome Bonaparte's next words made Pierre Bonaparte's heart pick up in his throat: "However, there are some people who agree with us.
!”
Pierre Bonaparte showed a forced smile. If he disagreed with all of them, it meant that he was incompetent. However, it was true that no one openly agreed to remove Barrow.
Even some MPs who are at odds with him believe that Barrow's presence can bridge the cracks in the Party of Order.
"Most of them are just facilitators!" Pierre Bonaparte could only choose to weaken the attitude of the MPs. He said unswervingly: "As long as we strengthen our confidence, they will only follow your steps!"
Jérôme Bonaparte nodded slightly. Judging from the historical actions of his cousin in deposing Odilon Barrot, although the members of the order party did not agree with the removal, they would only choose to refuse their appointment as a way to resist, and it was impossible to submit to him.
Use your own sword and gun.
Pierre Bonaparte breathed a sigh of relief with Jérôme Bonaparte's approval.
As my cousin spends more and more time in the presidential seat, his majesty becomes more and more frightening. Now he can show his emotions and anger, which is really creepy.
"Rouet, how is the situation over there?" Jérôme Bonaparte turned his attention to Eugène Rouet.
"Your Majesty, I have had several conversations with several congressmen! Their attitudes are similar to what Congressman Pierre Bonaparte said, but each person has a different degree!" Eugène Rouet's response indirectly helped Pierre
El Bonaparte came to the rescue.
Eugène Rouet also received the grateful gaze of Pierre Bonaparte.
"It seems that the members of the Republic are really united!" A sneer appeared on the corner of Jerome Bonaparte's mouth, and his tone became sinister.
Everyone except Prince Montfort remained silent.
"However!" Jérôme Bonaparte continued to sneer: "Since they have no clear objection, it means that Mr. Barrow himself has been dissatisfied by the people in the Party of Order. He went to London during the recess of Parliament,
It further shows that our Prime Minister Barrow wants to seek the support of that person, and then heal the dissatisfaction, thereby stabilizing his position. We cannot let Prime Minister Barrow unite the Party of Order! I have decided to reopen it in Parliament
At that time, remove Prime Minister Barrow!”
Everyone present respected the listener Jérôme Bonaparte's final decision, and their faces also showed different expressions, including surprise, surprise, excitement and fear.
Jérôme Bonaparte took in the expressions of everyone, and then reassured the Bonapartist members: "Please rest assured! I will not do anything that I am not sure of! In the final analysis, the so-called Party of Order is just a bunch of superficial people.
A collection of gods, they are still arguing endlessly about the heir to their throne, we just need to use thunderous means to shut them up!"
Ultimately, the Second Republic gave the president almost autocratic power.
When the president has the power to remove the prime minister without going through parliament, the executive power used by the prime minister must be accountable to his immediate leaders.
Just like now that Jérôme Bonaparte is not satisfied with Odilon Barrot going to London to meet Louis Philippe, he can replace Odilon Barrot when Parliament resumes.
The so-called respect for Parliament is nothing more than a fig leaf for Jérôme Bonaparte.
If the president who has gained executive power cooperates with the military's allegiance, he will be fully capable of implementing dictatorship.
Under the command of Jérôme Bonaparte, the cabal in the Elysée Palace gradually moved in the established direction.
After the meeting, Eugène Rouet was left in the study by Jérôme Bonaparte.
"Minister Rouet, sit down!" Jérôme Bonaparte invited Eugène Rouet to sit down.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Eugène Rouet sat opposite Jérôme Bonaparte.
Jérôme Bonaparte folded his hands on his chest, leaned tightly on the back of his chair, and asked in a relaxed manner: "Minister Rouet, do you think we should appoint a new one after deposing Barrow?"
Prime Minister?"
Historically, his cousin did not appoint a new prime minister after deposing Odilon Barrow, and he personally led the cabinet affairs, calling himself a "super-class cabinet" to the outside world.
However, my cousin encountered many troubles during the implementation of the "super-class cabinet".
Eugène Rouet, who was not sure whether Jérôme Bonaparte wanted a prime minister or not, could only follow his own opinion and said: "Your Majesty, I think we need someone who can attract firepower!"
"You mean that you agree to the appointment of a prime minister?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked Eugène Rouet.
"Your Majesty, we can appoint a Party of Order member who is inclined to us as Prime Minister! This will ensure that our interests will not be harmed, and it will also ensure that the Party of Order will not react too violently!" Eugène Rouet
Put forward your own opinions.
"Yes! Our strength is still somewhat smaller than that of the Party of Order. But where can we find people who are inclined to us and who are also members of the Party of Order?" Jérôme Bonaparte thought carefully about the Order that he had crossed paths with.
