Make France Great Again

Chapter 219 President Bonaparte is taking action

As soon as the proposal to restrict universal suffrage was passed, deafening cheers erupted from the Party of Order side.

From this moment on, the "war" between the Party of Order and the Social Democrats that has lasted for more than two years can finally come to an end. Nearly one-third of the residents in France will be completely deprived of the qualification to vote, which means The social democrats lost one-third of their support, and the remaining two-thirds of the votes were mostly small bourgeoisie living in urban areas. Their conservatism would cause them to vote wholesale for the Party of Order.

Because the Party of Order is the guardian of "religion, order, and morality."

On the social democratic side, except for a few MPs who showed expressions of despair, the vast majority of MPs were sullen and waiting quietly for the end of the Legislative Assembly.

Having lost the universal suffrage law, they no longer have the ability to pose any threat to the Party of Order.

"Quiet!" Speaker Marast knocked on the wooden hammer again in an attempt to maintain the majesty of the Legislative Assembly.

Under Speaker Marast's hammer, the Party of Order gradually fell silent. They used applause instead of cheers to provoke the members of the Social Democrats.

"This is another fruit moon in the new republic!"

Emile Olivier, the Montagnard member sitting next to Victor Hugo, responded angrily to Victor Hugo next to him.

Victor Hugo smiled and did not respond to Emile Olivier.

Although Victor Hugo agreed with Einel Olivier's words in his heart, he still maintained respect for the Legislative Assembly.

The reason why the Legislative Assembly has achieved such results is ultimately due to their power.

Amid applause from the party of Order, Speaker Maraster declared the Legislative Assembly closed.

The Party of Order, the Republicans, the Montagnards, and the Elysee Palace faction left the scene one after another.

"Look! Look! Our great Romantic poet changes like a gust of wind, and in the end he accomplishes nothing!"

The members of the Party of Order came to Victor Hugo and mocked Victor Hugo. Victor Hugo responded with a smile: "Gentlemen, you won! You won beautifully, but Your victory was won by trampling on the sanctity of the Republic! I hope that one day, you will not be treated in the same way!"

Victor Hugo's response made the members of the Party of Order show a hint of anger. This is not the speech that a loser and a traitor should have!

What do you think of a traitor?

Before the member of the Party of Order could taunt him again, the voice of party leader Thiers came from behind the member: "Give way, I want to talk to Mr. Hugo!"

The congressman quickly moved out of the way, and the dwarf Thiers appeared in front of Victor Hugo.

At this moment, Thiers looked at Victor Hugo with a proud expression. He extended an invitation to Victor Hugo in a gentle and elegant tone: "Congressman Hugo, can you walk with me for a while!"

After Victor Hugo hesitated for a moment, he made up his mind to cut off contact with the Party of Order and responded, "Okay!"

Thiers and Victor Hugo walked out of the Palais Bourbon side by side.

At Thiers' invitation, Victor Hugo got on Thiers' carriage, and Thiers took him home.

In the carriage, Thiers did not look angry at all. He looked at Victor Hugo with a smile and said in an easy-going tone: "Congressman Hugo, can you tell me why you want to quit the party? Is it just because of the party?" Doesn’t his obedience meet your expectations?”

"Mr. Thiers, isn't this enough?" Victor Hugo asked in return.

Thiers shrugged his shoulders and responded: "Congressman Hugo, I was once a member of the Romantics! At the time, I wanted my own power for the poor in France just like you!"

"Mr. Thiers, I have heard about your deeds!" Victor Hugo nodded.

"But!" Thiers smiled bitterly and spread his hands and said: "As my position gets higher and higher, I find that there is something called rules that exist all the time in this country. We all have to rely on this to do things. !”

"Thier's mood, do you want to say that everything you say and do is not from your original intention? The proposal to restrict the universal suffrage law is not the subjective consciousness of the people?" Victor Hugo revealed a touch of sarcasm in his words.

Victor Hugo looked down upon Thiers' evasive response with so-called "rules".

"No, no, no! Although we are all bound by invisible rules, most of them come from my original intention!" Thiers responded unabashedly: "I think democracy is indeed a good thing, and it can eliminate as many people as possible There are differences among parliamentarians, but I don’t think it is a good principle to implement comprehensive universal suffrage now! Two years ago, we chose a Napoleon! If there are no restrictions, I am afraid another Napoleon will continue to appear!”

Thiers's sophistry and Jérôme Bonaparte's bad faith gave Victor Hugo a sense of identity in his heart.

If the people choose a Napoleon again... No! If Napoleon is really the people's choice, then we should respect it too!

After a fleeting recognition, Victor Hugo firmly said: "Member Thiers, this is not an excuse for you to restrict the universal suffrage law! I believe that the people will choose rationally, and they will never let a tyrant come to power. !”

"Really not?" Thiers said with a meaningful smile on his lips.

"certainly!"

Although Thiers' smile made Victor Hugo feel a little more uneasy, Victor Hugo still responded to him unswervingly.

"Okay!" Thiers shrugged and said sincerely: "Congressman Hugo, you are just like me now! The Montagnards are not your final destination, and it won't be long before you find out that they are not you. The person you are looking for! Socialists will only mess up this country. They only know how to destroy and not build..."

Before Thiers could finish what he said, Victor Hugo interrupted Thiers's speech. He said coldly: "Mr. Thiers, I admit that you and your party members have some sufficient political power." experience!"

"Then why don't you join us!" Thiers asked Victor Hugo in disbelief. He didn't understand why Victor Hugo was so stubborn.

"But your policy of governing is based on harming the interests of others. You have taken away those people's guns, you want to take away those people's power, and you want to stop their mouths!" Victor Hugo said He criticized Thiers mercilessly: "Compared to you, the Montagnards may not have much experience in governing, but I believe they will surpass you in the future!"

The carriage slowly stopped, and the coachman's voice came into the carriage from outside: "Mr. Hugo, the Place des Vosges has arrived!"

"Thank you for the carriage! Mr. Thiers! I think I should go!" Victor Hugo opened the door and left Thiers' carriage.

The car door closed slowly, leaving Thiers alone in the car.

"Romantic poets are always so wishful thinking!" Thiers sighed and said to himself.

Under Thiers' order, the carriage set off again in the opposite direction of Victor Hugo.

At the same time, Jerome Bonaparte at the Elysée Palace also received news of the end of the Legislative Assembly.

"Cousin, how is the situation in the Legislative Assembly?" Jerome Bonaparte asked the new Secretary-General Alexander Valewski.

[Alexander Valewski (1810-1868), the illegitimate son of Napoleon I, the cousin of Napoleon III, and the cousin of Jerome Bonaparte, once served as the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Second French Empire. 】

From the time Pesini went to serve as Minister of Public Works until now, Valewski, who has only served as Secretary General for less than half a month, meticulously reported to Jerome Bonaparte: "The Party of Order has won a great victory. !The law restricting universal suffrage has been passed!"

"Excellent!" Jerome Bonaparte clenched his fists and cheered proudly.

Once the law restricting universal suffrage is implemented, it means that the Party of Order has completely trampled under their feet the cornerstone of the Constitution of the Republic.

How can the Legislative Assembly, which has lost the blessing of the sanctity of the Constitution, use him to fight!

"However, Mr. Victor Hugo joined the Montagnards!" Walewski then told Jerome Bonaparte about Victor Hugo's joining the Montagnards and his preaching on the podium.

"Sure enough, just like history!" Jérôme Bonaparte whispered to himself.

"Your Excellency, what do you need from me?" Valewski asked Jérôme Bonaparte in his uncle-like voice.

"Publish Mr. Victor Hugo's speech in our newspaper! I want the whole of Paris to know about Congressman Hugo's speech!" Jérôme Bonaparte gave an order to Valewski.

"Huh?" Walewski didn't understand what Jérôme Bonaparte meant. He was cautious by nature and asked cautiously: "We are with the Party of Order..."

"There is no need to explain anything to them! We are not from the same group!" Jerome Bonaparte explained to Valewski: "They only want to restore the monarch they are loyal to, and I..."

Jerome Bonaparte paused and looked for Shuyuan www. zhaoshuyuan.com said righteously: "What I want to defend is France's universal suffrage system!"

As a political chameleon, Jerome Bonaparte could finally tear away the veil of affection. He wanted to cut off the rope of the Legislative Assembly and smash it to pieces.

The corner of Valewski's mouth twitched slightly, but he still faithfully carried out Jerome Bonaparte's order.

Early morning on the third day.

The text of Victor Hugo's speech in the National Assembly quickly spread throughout Paris, fueled by the Republicans and Jérôme Bonaparte.

In the streets and cafes, everyone is talking about Victor Hugo's speech.

Victor Hugo's name once again became popular throughout Paris.
