Chapter 178 Panic or a fact?

On November 10, 1849, the Paris Police Department under the Ministry of Police took action as the Paris citizens expected.

Under the instructions of the Chief of Police, Chief Carlier, the Paris Police Department launched a "heavy attack" on the newspapers affiliated with the Havas News Agency.

The most representative newspapers of the Havas News Agency, the Observer and La Stampa, were forced to pay fines, and other small and medium-sized newspapers were also "forced" to suspend operations for rectification.

The leader of Havas News Agency personally published a report to refute the "false" reports made by Havas News Agency subordinates. An article titled "A Letter to the Legislative Assembly" appeared in the Observer and La Stampa.

.

The content of the article is to apologize for the "possible" falsehoods in recent reports by Havas News Agency, and to express "understanding" for the "Legislative Assembly"'s instructions to the Paris Police Department to take action against them.

In the Paris Citizen, this article was more of a provocative declaration than a "letter of apology". The Paris citizens who were keen to "find something to do" for the Parisian authorities instantly set off a reaction against the Legislative Assembly.

In protest, they asked the "Legislative Assembly" to write an accurate article to refute the rumors and respond to the people whether there were counterrevolutionaries in central and southern France trying to subvert the republic.

Seeing the right opportunity, Jerome Bonaparte also chose to support the citizens of Paris. He wanted to push the Legislative Assembly to the cliff, then cut the rope and send the Legislative Assembly to hell.

On November 13, Le Bonaparte published an article titled "We Should Not Be Silent" under the instruction of Jérôme Bonaparte.

The article encourages Paris citizens to actively criticize the Legislative Assembly. Without severe criticism, the Legislative Assembly cannot make progress.

As soon as Jérôme Bonaparte's solidarity with the citizens appeared, the Party of Order, which originally thought it was just an ordinary crisis of public opinion, immediately felt that the situation seemed to be beyond their control.

Although they do not believe in their hearts that the president will make peace with the "leftists" in parliament (in the eyes of the Party of Order, the Republicans and the Montagnards are all leftists), reality has to make them guard against the president's cooperation with the "leftists".

[Historically, Napoleon III often threatened the Party of Order by cooperating with the "leftists" to force the Party of Order to agree to the plan. The Party of Order, which was so intimidating, could only compromise with Jérôme Bonaparte again and again, and then was defeated by Jérôme Bonaparte.

Ba gradually seized military power.]

"Headquarters" of the Party of Order in Povarti Street.

Odilon Barro, Molay, and Thiers, who had almost collapsed in the June Incident, miraculously came together again after a few months to discuss countermeasures. The scene in front of them fully demonstrated that only children can know what is right and what is wrong.

, adults only care about interests, and the object of their discussion is Jerome Bonaparte.

"What on earth does that guy Napoleon want to do! Would it be any good for him to mess up Paris?" Count Morlay said with a sullen face and a bad tone. Now he wanted to cut that damn guy into pieces.

"I don't know either! This doesn't seem to be of any benefit to him!" Thiers frowned. He was so shrewd that he really couldn't figure out what Jerome Bonaparte wanted to do.

"Although we don't know what Napoleon wants to do, I can be sure that that guy is a complete careerist!" Odilon Barrot, who was suddenly dismissed by Jerome Bonaparte, saw through Jerome.

Bonaparte's ambition, and after losing power, he regained his former rational mind.

"What should we do now? Continue to let it go? Or should we take action?" Count Molay glanced at Thiers and Odilon Barrot who were in deep thought.

"Isn't it too early to take action now... We are not ready yet..." Count Molay's words made Odilon Barrow slightly stunned, and he politely dissuaded him.

Judging from the current situation, they have a high probability of success, but they are not guaranteed to succeed.

If the event can be postponed to next year, their chances of success will be higher.

"We can't wait any longer... If we wait any longer, something might happen!" Count Molay said decisively. He glanced at Odilon Barro and Thiers with his peripheral vision: "Don't you see?

More and more people are turning to that bastard Napoleon. If this continues, it will be very difficult for us to implement it! Think about it, once that guy gathers enough power, he will amend the constitution and extend his term.

How are we going to fight him!"

Although Count Molay's words were a bit harsh, they did sound a warning to Thiers and Odilon Barro.

Jérôme Bonaparte, who had deposed Odilon Barrot, had taken control of the administrative power of France.

If he is allowed to control the majority of members in the parliament, he is likely to amend the constitution and extend his term.

When the time comes, they will all be eliminated from this duel.

Of course, Thiers has not thought about the possibility of an armed coup by the president, but compared with the slim hope of an armed coup, parliamentary struggle is obviously more beneficial to him.

Thiers saw through the royalists in the Party of Order. Their purpose was only to protect the king. They could accept Orleans and Bourbon, and they could also accept Bonaparte.

Once the president's power tends to suppress the legislative assembly, the royalists will flock to the president.

In Thiers' eyes, not to mention them, Odilon Barrot, one of the giants of the Party of Order, was also labeled as untrustworthy.

Although Odilon Barrow has stepped down, his brother Ferdinand Barrow is still on stage.

There is no guarantee that one day Odilon Barrot will also join Jérôme Bonaparte. Political philosophy is not the same as political camp.

Of course, Thiers himself was not a devout royalist. All he did was just to succeed Jérôme Bonaparte.

Thiers did not want to see that the situation he had worked so hard to prepare for for 4 years would eventually turn into a situation where Jerome Bonaparte would continue to serve as President of France.

"Yes! We're going to take action!" Thiers nodded, agreeing with Molay's suggestion.

"If Napoleon takes action, what will you do?" Odilon Barrow questioned the feasibility of Molay. He did not believe that the president would not take action.

"Mr. Barrow!" Thiers explained to Odilon Barrow unhurriedly: "We can tell the president that this is a last resort to prevent red elements. As far as I know, the economic situation of the Elysee Palace

We have reached the point where we can no longer make ends meet. When necessary, we can use money to silence the president."

While Thiers and others were discussing, there was a knock on the door, and Thiers stood up and opened the door.

"Monsieur Thiers... hoo... hoo... a letter from the Gironde!" Thiers's secretary Remisa breathlessly handed the letter to Thiers.

Thiers took the letter and opened it in front of Odilon Barrot and Molay. After carefully reading the content of the letter, Thiers smiled and said to Odilon Barrot and Molay: "Gentlemen

, here comes our reason!”

At the same time that Thiers received intelligence from the Gironde in Rue Poirtier, Jérôme Bonaparte at the Elysée Palace also received letters from the Gironde.

The tactful senior official of the Gironde province sent one letter and two letters in an attempt to balance the relationship between the parliament and the president.

After reading the letter from the senior official of the Gironde Province, Jérôme Bonaparte put on a dumbfounded expression and said to himself: "Is this Li Gui meeting Li Kui?"

In the letter, a senior official of the Gironde Province stated that he had "uncovered" a conspiracy to subvert the Republic in the Gironde Province. The initiators of the conspiracy were a group of "social democratic factions" who said in the letter that they were driving a wedge between the poor and the rich.

A vendetta and internal strife between workers and bosses. Perhaps because of reading the Observer, senior officials in the Gironde province used exaggerated language to characterize it as a small group of poor people who had received black money from foreign forces in an attempt to turn Bordeaux into a

The world of red molecules.

[This is what happened in history. After June 1849, central, eastern and southern France fell into a class war. The poor killed the rich, the rich killed the poor, and the peasants killed the landlords.

In April 1850, based on the news of struggles coming from various places, the Legislative Assembly felt that the red was becoming more and more threatening in France, so it canceled the votes of one-third of the French people.]

After reading the letter, Jérôme Bonaparte knew that this letter was likely to become the trigger for a new round of parliamentary struggle.

The situation was indeed not as Jérôme Bonaparte expected.

As time goes by, the Legislative Assembly, which has been unable to come up with a solution, has been questioned by more and more people.

The leaders of the opposition republican and mountain party parties in parliament launched an appeal against the inaction of the Party of Order, calling for the re-election of members of parliament to maintain the dignity of the parliament.

Although the Republicans and the Montagnards knew that their appeal would not be passed, they were still very happy to be able to disgust the Party of Order in Parliament.

The happy "social democrats" in the parliament do not yet know that a conspiracy against them is quietly unfolding in the Elysee Palace.

"Mr. President, you must have seen that letter!" Thiers said calmly as he sat on the sofa and took a sip of coffee.

"I saw it!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded and admitted.

"Your Excellency, I think we should take action!" Thiers responded to Jérôme Bonaparte.

Jérôme Bonaparte looked at Thiers quietly without speaking.

"Mr. President, I think you don't want to see the Red elements occupying the Parliament! We are on one side!" Thiers once again reminded Jérôme Bonaparte enthusiastically.

"That's right! You are always good at compromising!" Jérôme Bonaparte sneered nonchalantly.

Sometimes compromise is also for the next attack!

In response to Jerome Bonaparte's sarcasm, Thiers could only choose to remain silent. He did not dare to tell Jerome Bonaparte what was in his heart.
