Make France Great Again

Chapter 177 Panic in Paris

November 9, 1849.

The temperature in Paris has become colder and colder since November, and the bourgeois living in Paris have used fireplaces one after another. The price of wood in Paris has also risen slightly with the use of fireplaces. The rise in wood prices has attracted speculators in Paris. Flocking, many stocks related to timber rose slightly, and the rise of the stocks drove the enthusiasm of the Paris Timber Company. Every day, groups of workers can be seen in the Boulogne Forest on the southern outskirts of Paris. , they cut down the trees in the forest and transport them to the lumberyard for peeling, cutting, and then sending them to Paris for sale.

On this day, Sablin, who runs a small shop by himself in Paris, opened the door early with his neck curled up. His shop is located on a street in Saint-Lachale. He was also on this street in June last year. Fighting with the army and those damn "thugs".

Although he was dragged out of the house by some damn guys (referring to the regular army officers) in a brutal posture, it was also the first battle in his life, and the thick artillery and the regular army officers had no mercy. His expression is still fresh in his memory.

Looking at the barricades smashed by artillery and the limbs hanging from the dilapidated barricades, Sablin's romance with the war was broken by cruelty. At that time, he realized that those National Guard officers who were transferred from North Africa were drunk Ridiculously they don't understand the fact that war is so real that it can no longer be real.

After going through that incident, Sablin no longer thought about war and revolution, he just wanted to run his own shop honestly.

During the incident in June this year, Sablin decisively encouraged some people to oppose the proposal of the parade by the head of the legion he was in.

Sablin's decision was undoubtedly correct. The three legions that were left to march were forcibly disbanded, and the head of the legion that agreed to march was also dismissed by them.

[The National Guard is different from the French regular army. The appointment and dismissal of regimental commanders and battalion commanders can be recommended by the soldiers, and can also be appointed and dismissed by the above. During the February Revolution, Alexandre Dumas was rejected by the soldiers because he wanted to lead troops to defend the Kingdom of Orleans. After the February Revolution, he was dismissed by the soldiers. 】

I have seen the cruel Sablin in "hell", and the only thing that remains the same is peace in Paris.

Because Sablin opened the door too early, people under the influence of the cold snap hadn't gotten up from their beds, and Sablin's business was somewhat sluggish.

Not long after, a postman-like person entered Sablin's shop: "Mr. Sablin, thank you for your support for the newspaper!"

The postman took out several newspapers and put them in front of Sablin, and then Sablin took off his hat to thank him and left.

Looking at the newspapers on the counter, Sablin knew he finally had something to pass the time.

Sablin reached out and pulled out the newspaper above. On the newspaper was a striking hand-drawn drawing. The main character of the hand-drawn drawing was a farmer holding a dung fork and a big knife, and beside him was a gentleman in a tight suit. A pattern was embroidered on the suit, and the shape of the pattern somewhat resembled Paris.

Regardless of the content of the text inside, the picture first attracted Sablin's idea, and Sablin glanced at the name of the newspaper "Observer" in the upper right corner of the news.

very good! The content of the news is still true and credible!

This newspaper, which rose suddenly in early 1949, won the habit of some Parisians with its "pertinent" political comments, well-intentioned criticism of the government, and some gossip. Land faction".

No one knows that "Observer" is a subsidiary newspaper controlled by "Bonaparte" through cross-shareholding, and the black hand behind "Bonaparte" is Jerome Bonaparte, and those so-called pertinent words Jerome Bonaparte had also sent out the internal information, in order to establish the image of the "Observer" and other newspapers.

I agree with the "Observer" Sablin from the bottom of my heart and read on.

Below the picture is a caption in black print, which reads "Beware of Infiltration of Paris by Foreign Anti-French Forces".

"What foreign forces?" Sablin instantly thought of the British Kingdom in the Straits of La Manches.

The blood feud between Britain and France for more than 600 years made all French people think of the Kingdom of Britain at the first time. Only they have the ability to overthrow France.

Sablin continued to look down. The content was roughly that some politicians with ulterior motives secretly sneaked into France after receiving money from a certain country in an attempt to cause turmoil in Paris, and then entangled a group of monarchies to attack France.

Although there is no word in the content that names the British, Sablin can be sure that this is a British conspiracy, and only shameless British people will get along with this kind of conspiracy.

After reading the content, Sablin cursed: "Fuck, damn the Anza Gang!"

After cursing for a moment, Sablin turned his finger on the government and the parliament. Sablin didn't have a good word for the parliament.

For President Jerome Bonaparte, he has nothing but gratitude in his heart.

In his heart, only the president is the real stable person in Paris, he is as great as his uncle.

If Jerome Bonaparte could hear Sablin's inner praise, he would feel that his small favor still seemed to have some effect.

Sablin, who criticized the government and the parliament, fell into a panic. He was afraid that if what the newspaper said was true, wouldn't the specials be in danger all the time.

"Maybe there is a deviation in the report?" Sablin comforted himself, and then said to himself: "Look at other newspapers!"

After all, Sablin pulled out a newspaper again. The newspaper was a newspaper with indirect shares controlled by Hawass Newspaper.

The content of the newspaper is "Crisis! There is a mutiny in Provence, and the rebels are likely to attack Paris"

"Provence is in rebellion again?" Sablin exclaimed. He remembered that there had been rumors of a rebellion in the Provence area half a year ago. Fortunately, Marshal Bi Ruo took action in time, otherwise a disaster might be brewing.

[In June 1849, in response to Le Deru-Roland's call, Lyon workers launched an uprising strike. Marshal Bijo, the commander of the Italian Front, massacred them, and then put the stigma of royalists on their heads. At that time, the intelligence that Paris knew was only the intelligence of the rebellion launched by the royalists in Paris. 】

Now that they are going to rebel again, is France really about to be subverted?

Sablin complained even more about the inaction of the Legislative Assembly.

The content of the third newspaper is different from the first two newspapers. The content is that a small-scale rebellion occurred in the garrison of a certain province in the central region of France...

Three consecutive newspaper reports of bad news from France made Sablin deeply doubt the competence of the Legislative Assembly.

When he picked up the fourth newspaper and looked at it, there was no news of the rebellion in the fourth newspaper, only various articles praising the National Assembly.

This made Sablin feel unreal. He suspected that this was an official newspaper, and only official newspapers would have such nasty praises.

Sablin glanced at the name of the newspaper. As he guessed, this newspaper was indeed an official newspaper.

Sablin picked up an official mouthpiece and read it again. Sure enough, it was the same as the newspaper just now. There was not a single piece of bad news about France in the whole newspaper, and most of them were articles praising France.

This could not help but make him more convinced that the situation described by the newspapers he just saw is very likely to be reality.

"Damn the council! What are they doing?" Sablin's resentment towards the council grew stronger.

As the highest authority in France, it has the corresponding power but cannot bear the obligation of trust, which leads to the corruption of the entire French situation. This is a manifestation of incompetence.

On this day, not only Sablin was filled with strong resentment in Paris, the citizens of Paris were afraid that the news would become a reality, and they vented all their resentment in the Legislative Assembly.

Under the clamor of some "interested people", Paris actually issued a call for "dissolving the Legislative Assembly and re-conducting general elections".

The appeal of the citizens is undoubtedly good news for the Republicans and the Mountain Party in the Legislative Assembly. Only by resuming the generalization can they regain the lost seats.

Therefore, the Republicans and the Mountain Party loudly shouted the slogan of "universal suffrage" in the parliament, and the members of the Party of Order fell silent.

Thiers, the seat of the Party of Order, also keenly felt that this conspiracy was likely to be aimed at them, but because Thiers did not hold power, and Jerome Bonaparte did not directly take action, making Thiers Er could not see who was behind the scenes, he could only attribute all this to another attack by the Republicans and the Montagne.

It was this attack that made the Party of Order completely determined to take back all the votes they had given to the French people. Only in this way can the Republicans and the Montagne completely shut up.

However, before that, the Legislative Assembly still issued a notice, which stated that "the recent French rumors are all false and untrue. I hope that every Frenchman can keep their eyes open and carefully distinguish the news!"

At the same time, the Elysee Palace also "shot".

Jérôme Bonaparte summoned the Prefect of Police to the Élysée Palace.

"Director Carlier, it's your turn!" Jerome Bonaparte said to the veteran Bonapartist in front of him.

The Callier, who had been entrusted with all police affairs in Paris by Jerome Bonaparte, asked humbly, "What should I do, Your Majesty?"

"Fine, detain, and let them write a letter of guarantee!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Carlier, and then added: "By the way, you can't close down the newspaper office, and you can't beat them either! Do you hear me?"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Carlier bowed in response.

"Go!" Jerome Bonaparte waved his hand, and Director Carlière left.

A few moments later, Marcel Jerrouge, the head of the investigation, appeared in Jerome Bonaparte's study.

"After Carlier took action, you immediately spread the news that the police station's action was to cover up their incompetence, and it was a trick of beating... In short, the bigger the conflict, the better! By the way, don't let Carlier find out!" Gero Mbonaparte to Marcel Jerrouge.

"yes!"
