Make France Great Again

"Congratulations! Prime Minister Barrow!"

Thiers smiled and congratulated Odilon Barrow. He was not surprised at the result, because all this had been arranged before.

"Thank you! Thank you!" Odilon Barrow excitedly held Thiers' hand to express his gratitude.

"Don't forget, we and I are on the same side!" Mr. Thiers reminded him, he was afraid that the new prime minister in front of him would do something stupid because of his closeness to the left.

As for why Thiers is reluctant to serve as prime minister himself, because Thiers does not want to be exposed to the public so soon.

Everything Thiers did was to prepare for his presidential election in 1852. He would disappear for four years to let France know him again, and then he would become the second president of France through indirect elections by parliament.

During this period, he would still pay attention to Barrow's movements from time to time to avoid accidents.

"Of course, I understand! I understand!" Odilon Barrow still responded excitedly.

On the stage, Jerome Bonaparte waited for the commotion in the audience to stop and continued: "Everyone, I believe that under our joint leadership, France will surely become increasingly prosperous!"

Jerome Bonaparte bowed deeply again to the audience, and then he turned away from the rostrum. The deputies in the audience again applauded Jerome Bonaparte and shouted at the same time: "Long live the Republic. !"

The meeting was coming to an end here. After Speaker Marast delivered the closing speech again, the presidential inauguration speech officially ended.

When President Jérôme Bonaparte, who was in the left corridor, was about to turn away after hearing Marast's announcement that the National Assembly was over, a shout from behind stopped him: "Mr. President, please stay behind. !"

No one knew the owner of this voice better than he did. Jerome Bonaparte turned to look behind him and said, "Mr. Thiers!"

It was Thiers who stopped Jerome Bonaparte, and he came to Jerome Bonaparte with Odilon Barrow.

Thiers, smiling, said to Jérôme Bonaparte: "Mr. President, I wonder if I will be fortunate to be with M. Barrow, the Count of Morlaix, and General Changarnier on your happy day as President. Come to your dinner together!"

"Of course," Jerome Bonaparte responded without hesitation: "Please tell Count Morlaix and General Changarnier that I will wait for them at the Elysee Palace!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. President, Prime Minister Barrow and I will be there on time!" Thiers left with Barrow.

Looking at the back of Thiers and Barrot leaving, Jerome Bonaparte nodded slightly, then set off to the door of the Bourbon Palace.

When night fell, kerosene lamps hung from the branches on both sides of the Bourbon Palace, and the ground was also filled with torches, illuminating the entire periphery of the Bourbon Palace.

Thousands of soldiers stationed at the Palais Bourbon stood together under the command of Changarnier.

Changarnier, who was riding on the white horse, put on his military uniform again. He pulled out the command sword at his waist and shouted angrily: "Long live the republic, long live the president!"

Thousands of soldiers followed Changarnier's voice and shouted: "Long live the republic, long live the president!"

Jerome Bonaparte nodded lightly, his resentment towards Changarnier disappeared at this moment.

Under the gaze of the soldiers, Jerome Bonaparte boarded the carriage with Lacoos, the general director of the parliament.

The "loyal" Changarnier dispatched a team of cavalry to follow on the left and right sides of the team, Pesigny walked at the front of the team, Fleury and Edgar Ney were on the left and right at Jerome. Both sides of the Bonaparte frame.

The mighty team set out from the Bourbon Palace and arrived at the Elysee Palace.

The person who got off the carriage, President Jerome Bonaparte, accompanied by Lacoos and Fleury, visited the entire arrangement of the Elysee Palace.

I have to admit that the decoration and layout of the Elysee Palace is many times bigger than the Rhine Hotel where I lived before.

More importantly, this is the place where my uncle, Emperor Napoleon, abdicated at that time. The uncle abdicated and the nephew succeeded. This kind of fate is too ingenious, so ingenious that people have to imagine.

After visiting the Elysée Palace, Jerome Bonaparte took Lakaux's hand and said enthusiastically, "Mr. Lakaux, I accept you! I hope you can join my dinner party!"

"Thank you, Mr. President, for your love!" Lacoos, who was eager to establish contact with President Jerome Bonaparte, immediately agreed to Jerome Bonaparte's invitation.

However, he has to go home first to prepare.

After Lacos left, Jerome Bonaparte called Pessini and Letty again to ask them about the invitations.

Persini and Letty assured Jerome Bonaparte that nothing would go wrong.

Then, Jerome Bonaparte asked Teran, the head of the kitchen of the Elysee Palace, about the preparation of dinner.

Tyran also patted his chest and assured Jerome that he would complete the task given by Jerome.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the Bonapartists who had been chosen by Jerome Bonaparte arrived with piety.

At 8:00, Dumur arrived with the survivors of the First Empire.

At 8:30, Fuld and Eugène Rouet arrived.

At 8:50, Thiers, Barrow, Changarnier, and Morlaix arrive.

The banquet officially started at 9:00. Tables of delicacies were brought to the corner of the hall under the command of Tyrande. Whether you can eat enough for the self-service banquet is up to you.

However, most of the people present did not come for a full meal.

They came to Jerome Bonaparte and said some compliments to Jerome Bonaparte. Jerome Bonaparte also smiled and expressed his gratitude.

Along with round after round of toasts, Jerome Bonaparte gradually felt a little unsupported.

At this moment, Thiers came to Jerome Bonaparte and whispered, "I wonder if Mr. President can find us a room!"

Jerome Bonaparte smiled and nodded. Under his leadership, Thiers and others left the main hall of the Elysee Palace and entered one of the rooms of the Elysée Palace. The host of the main hall also had him become his sister Mathilde.

Jerome Bonaparte who entered the room sat on a single sofa, Thiers and others sat on the sofa beside Jerome Bonaparte.

"Mr. President, thank you very much for appointing me as Prime Minister!" Odilon Barrow, who had just sat down, responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Mr. Prime Minister, I said before my election that my original intention was to serve the whole of France, and you are the mainstay of France!" Jerome Bonaparte responded.

"Mr. President, I don't know what arrangements you have for the other members of the cabinet!" Thiers then responded.

"Other members can be nominated by M. Barrow!" Jerome Bonaparte expressed respect for the authority of Barrow as Prime Minister, and then he added: "However, I hope that the Ministry of Public Works and the Ministry of Justice can inject some Young blood!"

It seems to have taken a fancy to these two departments!

"Of course! We respect the opinion of Mr. President!" Thiers tentatively asked: "How about Mr. Eugène Rouet as the Minister of Justice, he is the best lawyer in Paris!"

"I agree too!" Barrow said helplessly.

"I think so too!" Jerome Bonaparte responded.

"Ministry of Public Works..." Thiers hesitated for a moment, then looked at Jerome Bonaparte, who was waiting for Jerome Bonaparte's response.

"How about Mr. Morny?" Jerome Bonaparte said, "I believe that he who has worked as an industrialist will definitely become an excellent Minister of Public Works!"

If it weren't for the lack of talent in this area in Jerome Bonaparte's camp, he would definitely test Morney before letting him serve as Minister of Public Works.

Right now, he is short on talent, so he can only let Morney take the lead.

Power is a product that is overdue.

Thiers' expression flashed a hint of surprise. He thought he would recommend Bligh, but he recommended Morney.

[Note: Bligh, who was born in Muir, was Louis Napoleon's childhood playmate, as well as Jerome Bonaparte's teacher and friend. 】

As far as he knew, Morney was only someone who had only recently approached him.

"Yes!" Thiers agreed to Jérôme Bonaparte's request, given Morny's Orleanist label.

Jerome Bonaparte, who has obtained the power of the Ministry of Public Works and the Ministry of Justice, is temporarily satisfied, and he needs to digest his existing power.

"For the remaining positions, I believe that Mr. Barrow will definitely find someone suitable for him!" Jerome Bonaparte retreated in a timely manner.

Odilon Barrow stated his intentions. Among them, the Earl of Fallo was the Minister of Public Education, Parcy was the Minister of Finance, and Edward Douy was the Minister of Foreign Affairs...

Satisfied, Jerome Bonaparte agreed with Odilon Barrow's nomination one by one~www.NovelMTL.com~ and told Barrow: "Mr. Barrow, after the banquet is over, you can draw up a list of cabinet members! "

"Of course, the list will be placed in your study, Mr. President!" Odilon Barrow responded.

"Okay! Gentlemen, we're done talking about the cabinet! It's time to talk about it, His Majesty the Pope! His Majesty is still visiting Lyon, and it seems that he may not be ready to return to Rome. If His Majesty is not in Rome for a long time, There's going to be a big problem!" Thiers glanced at Jerome Bonaparte, as if he already knew what Jerome Bonaparte had suggested with Pius IX.

"The Pope is indeed a big problem!" said Jerome Bonaparte, frowning.

Since Jerome Bonaparte left the Papal State, Pope Pius IX's reform has once again fallen into the "deep waters". The arrival of rural priests has impacted the ratio of city councillors, making the Pope's rights no longer pass.

However, when the Pope succeeded in the political reform, he did not carry out military reform. The peasants who were originally scattered did not set up the Pope's armed forces like the Provence area of ​​the Great Revolution.

With the passing of the power of the urban faction, the restless elites began to take risks. On November 25th, they assassinated Pererino Rossi. Poor Rossi only had 10 more days of life.

The death of Pererino Rossi caused chaos in Rome, and the contradictions between the various forces surfaced again. The Pope, who felt that he could not control the political situation in Rome, took the opportunity of a visit to leave Rome with the French ambassador.
