"My child, you should know! No one is more suitable to be the marshal of France than me! I once fought with your uncle..."
Prince Montfort vividly told Jerome Bonaparte about his "great achievements" during the First Empire. If it were not for the fact that that era was only more than 30 years ago, and Jerome Bonaparte knew himself well.
With the character of this unreliable father, the "great achievements" described by Prince Montfort are likely to become a reality.
Although most of these so-called great achievements were made up by Prince Montfort himself, Jerome Bonaparte also did not dare to contradict his cheap father.
People like to brag when they are old, and Jérôme Bonaparte could not exploit his father's pleasure in bragging.
"Uh-huh-huh!" Jerome Bonaparte could only use the usual routine of "uh-huh, uh-huh" to deal with it, and from time to time he would nod in affirmation to Prince Montfort.
Prince Montfort became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, and even publicly "rebuked" Jérôme Bonaparte: "My son, you should give your family more trust! Outsiders are always outsiders, and they may be tempted.
And betray you! Your family will never betray you!"
Prince Montfort's words revealed a feeling of resentment, and Jérôme Bonaparte admitted that he was far less concerned about members of the Bonaparte family than his cousins at the same time in history.
Historically, when my cousin was the president of France, some members of the Bonaparte family were in high positions and used their power to pursue Baidu, and some were just like worms waiting to die. With their generosity, my cousin gained the support of other members of the Bonaparte family.
of support.
Now when he is president of France, most members of the Bonaparte family have not received any benefits. Instead, they have been reprimanded by Jérôme Bonaparte for doing things unfavorably. Some people are trying to gain benefits through the relationship between Jérôme and Bonaparte.
Bonaparte's side members who had wealth and parliamentarians were even kicked out of France by him. The entire Bonaparte family did not support Jerome Bonaparte much as much as his cousin.
However, things always have two sides, and there are disadvantages and advantages. Under the "training" of Jérôme Bonaparte, the entire Bonaparte family is moving in the direction of 996 and 007. Some negative things about the Bonaparte family
News also gradually decreased.
"Father!" Jérôme Bonaparte stopped his smile, put on a stern face and said indifferently: "What do you think I should do to satisfy them?"
"Of course, give your family more trust and let them participate more in your career!" Prince Montfort heard the change in Jerome Bonaparte's mood, and his attitude couldn't help but change.
Plea.
"Humph!" Jerome Bonaparte sneered at the corner of his mouth, and his words could not help but become harsher: "I have given them a chance, but what about them? How did they repay me? I just asked them to do something.
Even with simple tasks, they would push back and block me, and some even made big trouble for me, and I had to wipe their butts!
Father, with such a family, how can he safely appoint them! If they had half of Morny’s talents, I wouldn’t appoint some of the “outsiders” you call them!
What contribution did my so-called family members make to the Bonaparte family? When I asked them to contribute part of the family funds, they were reluctant!"
Of course, Jérôme Bonaparte would have no mercy for those rice bugs who just wanted to eat and die.
Jérôme Bonaparte's scolding was like a storm, leaving Prince Montfort dumbfounded and unable to utter any rebuttal for a moment.
"Then...then he is your brother after all!" Prince Montfort refuted Jerome Bonaparte in a low voice.
"My so-called brothers only regard the honor of the family as a bargaining chip that can be discarded at any time. They value the family business even less than the outsiders who are loyal to us! If a person does not value the honor of the family, the family will naturally
We will not pay attention to them!" Jérôme Bonaparte said categorically: "As the leader of the Bonaparte family, I will never allow a person in the family to enjoy the benefits brought by the family but be unwilling to contribute to the family.
!”
"You are right!" The powerful Jérôme Bonaparte made Prince Montfort have to agree with his point of view.
On one side is his biological son, and on the other side are those distant relatives who have begged for him.
Monfort knew where his butt should sit.
"What about me? My child, I have always supported your cause!" Prince Montfort decided to change the goal of benefiting the Bonaparte family to benefiting himself.
"Father? What else do you want?" Jérôme Bonaparte said calmly: "I have agreed that my brother and nephew can enter France, and your marshal's scepter will be distributed in the near future. You
Is there anything else I’m not satisfied with!”
"My dear son! I know that you want to build an army of your own, so that it can become your right-hand man and make contributions to the Bonaparte family!" Prince Montfort said to Jerome Bonaparte tactfully.
.
"That's right!" Jerome Bonaparte had an unnatural expression on his face.
My cheap daddy doesn't mean that...that's too bad!
Just when Jérôme Bonaparte was wondering whether his cheap father was hinting, Prince Montfort's next words directly confirmed his suspicion.
"I think I can help you with this matter!" Prince Montfort's voice was solemn, as if every word came out of his mouth after careful consideration.
"How are you going to help me!" Jérôme Bonaparte's mouth twitched slightly. He had already guessed what his father was going to say next.
"I can help you take charge of this army!" Prince Montfort made no secret of his "ambition" to command the army.
"Father, you do not have a military rank now!" Jérôme Bonaparte declined his cheap father's wish to control the army.
Not everyone is a military genius like Emperor Napoleon.
Even Jérôme Bonaparte himself, who understood the future war model, still needed assistance from the General Staff. It would be a nightmare for the French army if his father, a prodigal, took control of the army.
"Didn't you say that you would definitely help me obtain the Marshal's Scepter?" Prince Montfort showed a sly smile.
"Don't tell me that the purpose of your wish to become Marshal of France is to better accept the army!" Jerome Bonaparte said with a frown.
"This is just one of the reasons!" Prince Montfort analyzed plausibly: "I am the French Marshal, please give me the command; no one will say anything; soldiers, they have nothing to say, I am a member of the army
The oldest general; those parties have nothing to say, I am your father, it is very simple. The parliament has nothing to say, this is your power! The soldiers will also cheer "My name is Napoleon, please believe me"
!The Changarnier you appointed is nothing but an undercooked wolf, and it would be best for me to replace him!"
If you don't consider the character of Cheap Daddy, you can indeed consider his suggestions. However, Cheap Daddy's character is destined not to be a harsh commander. A commander who is not tough enough will not be able to assist him in completing the coup.
Jérôme Bonaparte did not want his father to slip up and flee his post without permission when the coup was approaching, just like he had done in the West.
The coup itself was a risky business, and he did not dare to pin his future on the premise that his father would not run away in advance.
"No! I can't hand over the command of the army to you!" Jérôme Bonaparte decisively rejected his father's unrealistic idea: "A son's control of the government and his father's control of the army are the biggest challenges to Parliament.
At this time, I cannot overly provoke the bottom line of the parliament."
"Parliament will not interfere too much with the army!" Prince Montfort retorted to Jérôme Bonaparte.
"Father, we cannot overly stimulate the Parliament! Otherwise, Changarnier is very likely to unite with the Parliament! By then, our situation will be very difficult!" Jérôme Bonaparte decided to exaggerate Changarnier
Threats to cooperation with the Legislative Assembly.
No one knew Prince Montfort better than him. His father was a man of unsteady will and would involuntarily choose to take a step back when faced with difficulties.
Just as Jerome Bonaparte expected, when Prince Montfort heard that Changarnier and the Legislative Assembly might cooperate in opposition, he subconsciously complained that Jérôme Bonaparte should not have hastily established Changarnier.
Commander-in-Chief of the Seine Department.
Jérôme Bonaparte smiled slightly and did not ask Prince Montfort for an explanation. He understood that his old father would choose to take a step back again.
"In this case, I have to wait for the opportunity!" Prince Montfort sighed regretfully, and then told Jerome Bonaparte to implement the rank of marshal.
"I will definitely urge the Minister of War as soon as possible!" Jérôme Bonaparte said casually.
"Then I won't disturb you!" Prince Montfort stood up and said to Jerome Bonaparte.
"Let me see you off!" Jérôme Bonaparte, who had escaped Prince Montfort's entanglement, breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to send his father out.
"Mr. Pesini, the study door is open!" Wardley on the first floor saw Pesini and hurriedly reminded Pesini.
Pesini raised his head and saw Jerome Bonaparte and Prince Montfort walking out of the study: "I know!"
When Jerome Bonaparte put Prince Montfort into the carriage and returned to the Elysée Palace, Pesini came to Jerome Bonaparte and handed over the list of marshal promotions to Jerome Bonaparte.
"Just one?" Jérôme Bonaparte said, pointing to the name of Prince Montfort on the marshal's list.
"Yes! Your Majesty, there is only one!" Pesini responded respectfully?
"Okay! Let Minister Renault start preparing for the promotion ceremony of Prince Montfort! By the way, are there any newspapers in London?"
After finishing working on his father's "mess", Jérôme Bonaparte was no longer in the mood to go on an outing. He decided to take a look at the comments of his "colleagues" in London.
Britain has always been far ahead of Europe in milk law.
"I'll get it for you right away!" Pesini replied to Jérôme Bonaparte.
"If my memory is correct, Director Mokar is in charge of organizing foreign newspapers! Just ask him to bring the newspapers!" Jérôme Bonaparte didn't want Pesini to get too involved in the Elysee.
Palace, he hinted to Pesini.
"yes!"
A look of disappointment flashed across Pesini's face, but he quickly replied.
