Jerome Bonaparte's analysis far exceeded Louis Bonaparte's expectations. He originally just hoped that his cousin could have a little understanding of the current situation in France, and then he would use the little time left to analyze it for him.
, as a member of the Bonaparte family, it is impossible not to get involved in politics.
What he didn't expect was that he had never really gotten to know his cousin, and that his cousin would have such a keen sense of politics.
Louis Bonaparte looked at Jerome up and down with a scrutinizing gaze, which seemed to penetrate Jerome's body and reach into the depths of his soul.
Jérôme straightened his back. Although he was confident on the outside, he was also a little uneasy in his heart, fearing that Louis Bonaparte would discover the clues that Jérôme was not "normal".
"Who taught you those analyzes just now!" Louis Bonaparte spoke again, and Jérôme breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Jérôme, who adjusted his condition slightly, calmly pointed to his head and eyes and said: "These are all what I saw and thought of myself! No one is willing to teach me, and besides..."
Jérôme paused, then showed a contemptuous smile and said: "The city officials [Note 1] sitting in the sky above Paris are probably still thinking about how to suppress the next riot! Send the workers to the national factory
It's just a temporary measure, it can't solve France's unemployment problem once and for all, let alone those members of Parliament who have their own evil intentions! Paris is like a powder keg now."
Jérôme gestured in the air, "It only takes a little spark, and the powder keg will ignite! By then Paris will face the second split. At that time, the Republicans can only kill the workers! Even if the Republicans are lucky,
By suppressing the workers, how can the Republicans realize the universal suffrage they claim? The memory of Paris citizens is not like the memory of a fish, which only lasts for 7 seconds!"
In the original history, a second revolution triggered by workers would come to Paris in two months. The new republic faced a crisis of division or death. Under the tough policy of the parliament, Lamartine, who represented the moderate, withdrew.
, was replaced by the military strongman Cavaignac, and the republic has fallen into a stage of tearing apart since then.
Jerome Bonaparte's answer made Louis Bonaparte fall into thinking. Most of the information he had without staying in Paris for a long time was only from second-hand or even third-hand newspapers. This information was far less than that of Jerome himself.
The oral accounts of those who have experienced it are more intuitive.
"My dear cousin, what do you think of this revolution!" Louis Bonaparte asked Jerome Bonaparte with a serious expression. From now on, he no longer regards Jerome Bonaparte as a
A little brother who needs his care, but a flag-bearer who is about to raise the flag of Bonaparte.
"An opportunity!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded without hesitation, and then added: "An opportunity for the Bonaparte family to return to French politics. The Bonaparte family has not returned to French power for 33 years.
Center Paris!”
Jérôme raised his hands and clenched his fists: "We must seize this opportunity to return to Paris, just like His Majesty the Emperor did when he controlled Paris, he controlled the whole of France!"
Jérôme Bonaparte's ambitious words also aroused Louis Bonaparte's ambition.
From 1830 to the present, Louis Bonaparte never thought about coming to France, but every time he failed.
Nowadays, France's power is in a vacuum, but his own body is the first to be unable to bear it.
Regret lingered in Louis Bonaparte's heart. The fire of ambition flickering in his eyes gradually extinguished, leaving only a sigh.
After sighing, Louis Bonaparte readjusted his emotions and looked at his cousin Jerome. He didn't have much time left, but Jerome was still young, maybe he could...
"Jerome, what is your plan?" Louis Bonaparte folded his hands and asked with a stern expression.
Jerome slowly lowered his arms raised in the air, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The original plan was to ask you to return to Paris and then participate in the Paris elections. I believe that with Bonaparte's influence in France, he will be able to win the election.
Defeat those weak republicans and seize the throne of France!"
"Can we really seize the power of France?" The two failures made Louis Bonaparte a little hesitant and confused. He believed that he could seize the power, but was it too childish to seize the power through elections?
Even the uncle he advocated was just a false democratic cloak for his coronation through public opinion after taking control of the army.
"Whether we can seize power actually does not depend on ourselves, but on our opponents!" Jérôme Bonaparte said confidently: "As long as the Republicans continue to implement the universal suffrage system, then a large number of rural vote banks will vote for us.
We have it! The President of France is at our fingertips!"
Louis Bonaparte was also very moved by the scene described by Jérôme Bonaparte, but his body no longer allowed him to continue running for elections.
Louis Bonaparte turned his attention to Jérôme again. This time, his face showed a happy smile, and the mustache on his face stretched out with Louis Bonaparte's smile. He stretched out his hand to hold down Jérôme.
Rome Bonaparte's shoulder said: "I think it's time to change your plan!"
"Change?" Jérôme Bonaparte instantly understood what he meant. He shook his head and laughed at himself: "I'm just an unknown person with some Bonaparte family titles. I'm afraid not many people in Paris can recognize him.
Me! Cousin, you are different! Two coups made you famous. The book "Abolition of Poverty" mixed with Paris, I got to know a learned Prince Bonaparte! These are all the things I learned in a short period of time.
It’s something you can’t have inside!”
"You can do it too!" Louis Bonaparte said firmly and forcefully: "Believe me, cousin! Sometimes, the value of a dead person is greater than that of a living person. Because the dead need to tell the story of their achievements through the mouths of the living.
, living people are also willing to share the glory of the dead! Especially a dead person who has not made any mistakes!"
Jérôme did not understand what Louis Bonaparte meant.
"I tell you..." Louis Bonaparte whispered in Jérôme's ear.
"No...I don't agree!" Jerome Bonaparte opened his eyes wide and pursed his lips.
"Cousin, you must listen to me this time!" Louis Bonaparte said to Jerome decisively: "I have a hunch that this is the last chance for the Bonaparte family! If this fails,
, we may not be able to return to French politics again.”
