Make France Great Again

Jerome Bonaparte hurriedly entered the study and closed the door, showing a modest gesture and offering a kiss to the old man in front of him

[Kiss the ring on Pius IX's hand as a sign of devotion. Some devout believers would kneel in front of Pius IX and kiss Pius IX's boots. Every year at the carnival, a group of devout believers are summoned by the Pope. This kind of activity is not surprising. 】

Pius IX silently waited for the second generation of the Bonaparte family's kissing ceremony to be completed.

"Your Majesty!" Jerome Bonaparte, who had done the kissing salute, took a step back and continued to pay his due respect to the "God on Earth".

"Children of Bonaparte!" Pius IX had a smile on his face, his eyes filled with memories: "When I was young, I had a relationship with you! At that time, I was still in your uncle's army. As a lieutenant, I followed the imperial army to the north and south! Thinking about it now is really something worth remembering!"

Jerome Bonaparte listened quietly to Pius IX's memories. He was shocked at first, and then recovered as before. He replied respectfully, "That's our honor!"

"So..." Pius IX turned his attention to the rising star of the Bonaparte family in front of him. Pius IX, who served as Emperor Napoleon's guard and saw the honor of Emperor Napoleon, had to admit that this guy's appearance was the same The appearance of Emperor Napoleon is somewhat similar. If you don't observe it carefully, people will mistakenly think that Emperor Bonaparte is returning to the world: "You have offered me a gem of your family, and you want to get from me, from the Holy See. receive anything……"

Gem?

Jerome Bonaparte flashed a dazed look in his eyes, as if he didn't donate any gems!

Could it be Lucien Louis?

Forget it, wait until the meeting is over before asking.

"This is out of devotion to the Holy See!" Jerome Bonaparte still put on an expression of "I am a dutiful son of God".

"I believe in your piety!" Pius IX nodded with "satisfaction", and added in his heart: I'm afraid your piety is like your uncle!

"Of course, we hope that His Majesty can spread the gospel to France!" Jerome Bonaparte politely sought support from Pius IX.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult!" Pius IX acted in a pretentious manner, shaking his head and sighing, "You should know that France is no longer a kingdom, it has now become a republic!"

"The Republic does not stipulate that His Majesty cannot pass the Gospel!" Jerome Bonaparte continued.

"Alas!" Pius IX sighed again and said, "It's not just you who want to ask me to spread the gospel!"

This old fox!

Jerome Bonaparte certainly understood what Pius IX meant. How could a Pope who was killed out of thousands of missionaries be shaken by a little touch? What he said before was just to give himself a He was thinking of his own delusion, and the other two of the more than one he was talking about were probably the Count of Chambord and Louis Philippe.

"Your Majesty, the remaining two can't help you in a short period of time!" Jerome Bonaparte simply said to a showdown: "Now that the Austrian Empire is in critical condition, and the Apennine Peninsula has been shrouded in riots, I'm not sure it will. When will it come to the Papal States!"

Pius IX's face changed from being aloof to the world, to a contemplative face.

Jerome Bonaparte hit the railroad while it was hot: "Your Majesty! I heard that the Austrian Empire has begun to agree to mediation. If the mediation is successful, they will cede part of the land to the Sardinian Dynasty. At that time, Austria will definitely withdraw from the sphere of influence of the Apennine, Will the ambitious Sardinian dynasty tolerate a scattered Apennine?"

Jerome Bonaparte paused, observing the gradually gloomy expression on Pius IX's face: "At that time, the Sardinian Dynasty will definitely take action against Your Majesty, you and the Kingdom of Naples! How can the Papal State without the protection of the Austrian army be able to War Sardinia!"

"I (translator) want to expel the religious membership of the Sardinian dynasty!" Pius IX said angrily.

"Your Majesty! Once the Sardinian Dynasty decides to unify the entire Apennine, religious membership is already a necessity for them!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Pius IX based on history.

Pius IX also understood this truth. It is no longer the Middle Ages, and the means of excommunication can no longer cause any substantial harm to a country.

It is clear at a glance the importance of a complete Apennine peninsula **** and a trivial religious membership.

"How can you make me believe that you can gain power!" Pius IX said to Jerome Bonaparte in a showdown.

"Your Majesty, now the whole French countryside is looking for a name!" Jerome Bonaparte stretched out a hand and said confidently: "That is Bonaparte, as long as the system of universal suffrage is still practiced in France, then Bonaparte will surely be able to Go up!"

"What if not?" Pius IX asked back ~www.NovelMTL.com~ Then, His Majesty the Pope, you are about to face a situation of isolation and helplessness! "Jérôme Bonaparte spread his hands and said, "At that time, the republican regime may give you a place to live, but of course it's limited to a place to live! If you choose us, then the French army will be your faithful partner! "

Pius IX was silent, and Jerome Bonaparte knew that he was weighing the pros and cons of this matter.

Jerome Bonaparte quietly waited for Pius IX's response.

After a while, Pius IX said again, "I can spread the gospel to France!"

"Thank you for your generosity!" Jerome Bonaparte smiled.

"However, not now!" Pius IX continued, "You need to show me your abilities!"

Sure enough, there is no rabbit but no eagle!

The enlightened Jerome Bonaparte didn't think he could get Pius IX to add a blessing buff to him, and even if Pius IX wanted to add it to him now, he would not agree.

At present, it is the "sensitive period" of the French provisional government, and I don't want to be missed by Cavaignac in the future.

"Of course, we will not disappoint you!" Jerome Bonaparte Pius IX responded, then he took out a stack of manuscripts from the interlayer of his coat and handed it to Pius IX.

"This is..." Pius IX looked at the stack of manuscripts in confusion.

"This is another gift I dedicate to Your Majesty!" Jerome Bonaparte responded to Pius IX.

No one has ever given such a gift since he became the Pope, and Pope Pius IX looked at the contents of the hand with great interest.

On the first page of the manuscript is the tentative title of "Catholic Economic Ethics."
