1840 Indian Rebirth

Chapter 211 [Napoleon III]

"The People's Charter!"

The crowd of people was noisy and chaotic, most of the voices were destroyed by each other and turned into noise, but some still converged and merged to become a common voice.

The Horse Whistle realized it was a Chartist movement.

This movement has been carried out on and off in the UK for more than ten years. The core appeal of the workers is to fight for rights and hope to obtain universal suffrage.

If there is no accident, the massive rally in front of us will dissipate naturally in a short time without causing too much impact.

Just like in the old days.

"Great chief, what are they doing?" the young clansman asked.

"They are fighting for their own rights." Looking at the crowd not far away, Ma Whistle said.

"Will they succeed?"

"Not for now."

"What about after that?"

"Of course it will succeed, and British workers will eventually gain universal suffrage and other rights."

"what does that mean?"

"This means a lot, such as the improvement of working conditions, such as the improvement of living standards, such as..." The horse sentry paused for a while, and then continued, "For example, participating in the distribution of the spoils of the empire."

He didn't want to have anything to do with this rally, so he just took the students to watch from a distance, while collecting local materials, and told the students some British politics and economics, especially the labor movement.

However, things backfired, and soon he couldn't stay out of it.

"Bang—bang!" Several gunshots came.

The workers at the rally were in a mess for a moment. The bullets may not have killed anyone, but many people paid the price of their lives—death from the crowd's stampede.

"The police fired!"

"Resist to the end!"

"Run!"

Some people want to resist, some people want to run for their lives. The chaotic crowd is like water in a wooden barrel that has been smashed suddenly, venting out wantonly and rushing in all directions.

Ma Shao and the others were caught off guard, so they could only hide behind the train and watch the workers whizzing by.

When the crowd dispersed, the scene was a mess, and even the car was overturned twice. Fortunately, he and his clansmen were not seriously injured.

Looking at the overturned carriage, the horse whistle was not sure whether the train could go on, and couldn't help but curse in his heart.

Really bad luck.

At this moment, several policemen on horseback came towards this side, apparently they were the ones who dispersed the workers.

"Who are you guys?" The leader was a middle-aged man with a mustache. He stared at the whistle for a moment, as if thinking of something.

"Apache chief?" He moved his beard and tried to ask in some broken English.His speaking style is very unique, with a French accent in his English vocabulary and a German charm in his French accent.

The characteristics of the horse whistle are easy to identify, and there are frequent media reports, so it is normal to be recognized.

But the policeman's attitude was quite strange, neither admiration nor contempt, nor indifference, but curiosity with a bit of playfulness, like some kind of inherent arrogance.

Recently, he was used to seeing the horse posts of nobles, and he intuitively realized that the identity of this policeman was not simple.

Only a real noble would have such a natural arrogance that no amount of etiquette could completely cover up.

"Yes, what should I call you?"

The policeman suddenly laughed, got off his horse, and walked forward.

"Hi, I'm Louis Napoleon Bonaparte." He shook hands with the horse post and said his name proudly.

"Napoleon III?" Ma Shao was taken aback when he heard this.

Napoleon III is Napoleon's nephew and grandson. He is not unknown in Britain. The newspapers have long called him by this name.

Of course, Mashao knew Napoleon III, not only that, Dickens also said that he would introduce this famous French celebrity to him for a while.

But he couldn't understand why this guy appeared in Manchester as a British policeman, and he was still suppressing the labor movement.

Is this the original history?

Or is it his butterfly effect that changed the life trajectory of Napoleon III?

There is no way to verify the horse whistle. After all, he doesn't know much about Napoleon III's life trajectory, but only knows the most important things.

This is a key person.

Before long, Napoleon III, Napoleon's de facto sole heir, would return to his faithful Paris and be crowned king.

Later, he also became the founding father of Germany...

Napoleon III explained: "Yes, that's exactly me. You may wonder why I'm here, in fact, I've been in England pretty much since my escape. Of course, I tried to get back to France a few months ago , but those bastards drove me back to England, and I got a job in Manchester - special police."

"It's a great honor, Mr. Napoleon." Ma Shao said with a smile, "Napoleon is the idol I admire. He is the most dazzling genius in military history and a hero worthy of respect. It's a pity that I don't have the opportunity to meet him now. Seeing you, I think I can make up for some regrets."

What Ma Shao said was not a lie. He really admired Napoleon when he was in junior high school.

The cause of the admiration may be that the history teacher told him the difference between Hitler and Napoleon-the object of his admiration in elementary school was Hitler.

"Hahaha." Napoleon III laughed happily, and this statement obviously made him very useful.

Napoleon's aura is exactly what he cherishes most, and it is also a guarantee for his future ascension to the pinnacle of French power.

Napoleon III said: "I know you too, Sir Horse Whistle, Dickens mentioned you to me, and he said you were like Napoleon of the Apaches."

"Don't dare to be, dare not be." Ma Whistle sweated slightly. Although Napoleon was a hero for the first time, his ending was embarrassing. He didn't want to be Napoleon of Apache.

The two talked for a while.

Soon, Napoleon III began to promote his political ideas to the horse post.

He tried more than once to restore the glory of Bonaparte and return to the top of France like his uncle. Despite repeated defeats, he never gave up.

Now that Europe is surging, he realizes that this is a good opportunity, so he always spares no effort to win supporters.

He came to suppress the workers to a large extent to cater to the British elite in exchange for support.

Ma Shao knew that Napoleon III would succeed soon, so he pushed the boat along the way, and immediately expressed his support for him: "I have read your book "Eradication of Poverty", and I think it is profound and practical. France needs its guidance. , it will even spread glory throughout Europe like the Napoleonic Code."

Overtly and secretly matching Napoleon III with Napoleon, this wave of rainbow farts made Napoleon III very comfortable.

Then, Horse Whistle made his suggestion: "Although the current French government drives you away with unreasonable reasons, it promises the right of universal suffrage after all. I think you just have to raise your arms and shout to the people 'Let France Great again', you can return to French politics through elections, and even become president."

"Make France great again!" This sentence seems to have touched Napoleon III.
