"Alas! It's a pity that their officers only follow that fellow Cavaignac!"
Jérôme Bonaparte lamented that the massacre order of the June Revolution allowed some officers in the army to be promoted. In order to maintain the legitimacy of their achievements, these "heroes" of the June Revolution united around Cavaignac.
.
It is now extremely difficult to win their support. Only after Jérôme Bonaparte becomes president and wins over them in the name of the emperor's nephew can these officers enter his command.
"Your Majesty, I think there is no need to worry about the military affairs!" Rouet said with relief: "According to my subordinate's observation of Cavaignac, that fellow Cavaignac still wants to take the road of elections. On this road, you
Firmly ahead! We just need to wait quietly for the final result!"
"Yes! Your Majesty, at least the soldiers love you!" Pesini also responded.
Jérôme Bonaparte shook his head and said with a slightly ferocious expression: "What I want is not their love, what I want is to control them like an uncle, and I want to get everything with them! This military beast is bound to
To be tamed, I will shatter the honor that the Russian Empire stole that winter, and I will crush that German Confederation that is so ugly it makes me vomit!"
Jérôme Bonaparte's "wild words" made Pessini and Rouet shudder. They never expected that the leader they were loyal to turned out to be a war madman like his uncle.
Oh my God! Is it inevitable that France will be ensnared by a bunch of lunatics?
Rouet felt a sense of sadness for France's future, but this did not prevent him from continuing to serve the Bonapartists.
Only by changing dynasties can Rouet get everything he wants.
Even if His Majesty the Emperor is really the devil, he will still have to bravely go with the devil.
Furthermore, after experiencing the last failure, His Majesty must have had a countermeasure in mind.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Jerome Bonaparte smiled again, crossed his arms and said: "Of course, we can't do this until we have completely grasped the political power in our hands!"
"Your Majesty, I firmly believe that you can lead France to regain its lost glory!" Pesigny responded to Jerome Bonaparte with a pious look.
"I also firmly believe that under your leadership, we will definitely be able to achieve a greater victory than before!" Rue also followed closely and complimented against his will.
"Gentlemen, stop saying compliments! I'm almost losing myself!" Jérôme Bonaparte chuckled, turned his head and saw the endless wheat fields and the farmers working hard on the wheat fields outside the window and said: "Those people
They are all our vote base, and they are also the objects we protect! We must unite them to fight against those who oppose us!"
"Yes!" Pesini and Rouet echoed.
Jérôme Bonaparte chatted with Eugène Rouet and finally found out the details of Eugène Rouet and that he was a person with whom he could share power.
Time gradually passed from 11 am to 6 pm. After nearly 7 hours of journey, Jérôme Bonaparte and others finally arrived in Lyon from Marseille.
This city, which has existed since ancient Rome, looks particularly solemn under the setting sun. On the two rivers of Rhone and Seine, which gave birth to Lyon, several inland river sailing boats are sailing down the river. On both sides of the river
Small black spots can be vaguely seen, and the residents who live by the river are carefully carrying vegetable baskets and washing vegetables.
Jérôme Bonaparte, sitting in the carriage, admired the natural scenery in front of him.
When the carriage entered the inner city from the outside of Lyon, Lyon once again became a traditional inland river trade city like Marseille.
Many people on the street also turned their attention to Jerome Bonaparte.
"Your Majesty, we need to spend the night in Lyon! Let's set off tomorrow!" Eugène Rouet said to Jérôme Bonaparte.
Jérôme Bonaparte nodded slightly in affirmation.
The carriage stopped at the steps of a high-end mansion on Mermoz Street, and Jérôme Bonaparte and others got off the carriage.
The owner of the mansion warmly received Jerome Bonaparte and his party, and arranged the best room in the mansion for Jerome Bonaparte.
Entering the room, Jérôme Bonaparte was just about to lie on the bed and enjoy a moment of tranquility when he heard Pesini's voice from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Marshal Piro's Attendant wishes to see you!"
What? Marshal Biro!
When Jérôme Bonaparte heard the words "Marshal Bijo", he immediately thought of the "hero" of Algeria, the "clown" under Louis Philippe.
[Referring to the fact that in 1848 Louis-Philippe could not withstand the pressure from the masses and replaced Marshal Bigot, who was originally able to suppress the uprising of Paris citizens. Marshal Bigot came to Paris like a clown, and then was abandoned by the monarch like a clown. 】
By the way, he seems to have been appointed commander of the Italian Front now!
Eager to establish a relationship with the military, Jérôme Bonaparte immediately got up from the bed after hearing the name of Marshal Bigot, sorted out his image a little, and then opened the door.
Pesini entered the room with a middle-aged man who looked to be in his 40s and wearing military uniform behind him.
The attendant greeted Jérôme Bonaparte politely: "Hello, Your Excellency, Prince!"
"Hello!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded to the middle-aged man.
"On behalf of my commander, Marshal Bijo, I would like to express my sincere blessings to His Excellency the Prince! I hope His Excellency the Prince will succeed in the general election!" the middle-aged man continued to compliment Jérôme Bonaparte.
"Thank you Marshal Bijoux for your blessing!" Jérôme Bonaparte said perfunctorily.
"Marshal Biruo hopes that the prince can come to the military camp and review the troops!" the middle-aged man continued.
This old guy is hurting me!
An idea came to Jérôme Bonaparte's mind. At present, Cavaignac was still in power, and the emperor's nephew ran to the military camp. Wouldn't that be inciting internal strife in the republic?
Jérôme Bonaparte's eyes flashed with disgust, but he quickly hid it. He still had a professional fake smile on his face and said: "Thank you Marshal Bijo for your kindness! But I'm worried about myself."
Appearing rashly in the military camp will cause unnecessary disputes, so forget it!"
The middle-aged man showed a regretful expression: "Since the prince is unwilling to go to the army to inspect, then let this matter be dropped! The marshal hopes that the prince will be honored and attend the banquet!"
Then, the middle-aged man added: "There are many young officers of the Republic at the banquet who want to meet His Excellency the Prince!"
Should I go or not?
Jérôme Bonaparte was in trouble, so Marshal Piro would definitely invite some promising officers in the army to his banquet.
If they are willing to support themselves, their future path will definitely be smoother.
