Make France Great Again

Chapter 113: Preparations for the annihilation of Rome

"Then Colonel Conrobel, can you please come to the Elysee Palace after the awarding of the medals! I will personally celebrate for you!"

Jerome Bonaparte raised his wine glass and nakedly extended an olive branch to Conrobert. He believed that Conrobert would definitely take his olive branch.

Facing Jerome Bonaparte's sudden olive branch, Canrobert was a little panicked for a while, but after a short period of panic, joy followed.

Canrobel never thought that he received an olive branch from the emperor's nephew just a few days after he arrived in Paris.

With an extremely excited mood, Conrobel said with a trembling voice: "I... how can I gain the trust of Your Majesty! If Your Majesty needs me, your subordinates are willing to do my best to help His Majesty!"

After all, he drank the brandy in the cup.

Jerome Bonaparte also drank the brandy in the glass.

"This subordinate will not disturb Your Majesty!" Conrobert, who knew how to advance and retreat, asked Jerome Bonaparte to leave. He could not occupy all the President's time.

"Go!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded in response.

Under the jealous eyes of fellow officers around him, "Balded" Colonel Conrobel strutted into the crowd.

Next, the officers who had grown in their hearts introduced themselves to Jerome Bonaparte.

However, compared with Conrobel, most of them are just unknown people.

Jerome Bonaparte still maintained an attitude of neither humble nor arrogant to the officers present.

The time gradually came to 1:00 in the morning. The army banquet was over. Some officers returned to their camps, and some returned to their hotels.

Jerome Bonaparte, who was filled with brandy, was helped back to the room by Pessini again.

Until 2 pm the next day, Jerome Bonaparte, who woke up again, rubbed his sleepy eyes and put on the uniform of the National Guard and went out.

Just when he was about to go out, Odilon Barrow kidnapped Jerome Bonaparte and reported a situation to Jerome Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte had to come to the study with Odilon Barrow.

In the study, Odilon Barrow reported to Jerome Bonaparte about the situation in Italy.

"Austria, Naples, Spain demand intervention in the new Roman Republic?"

In the study, Jerome Bonaparte pretended to be astonished and asked again the accuracy of Barrow's news.

"That's right!" Odilon Barrow said with a wry smile: "According to reliable information, the Austrian Marshal Radetzky has divided his troops, and it seems that he is ready to intervene!"

"Humph! That old thing isn't dead yet!" Jerome Bonaparte put on an expression of disgust.

As a member of the Bonaparte family, Jerome Bonaparte has reason to hate this chief of staff of the coalition during the Napoleonic Wars.

"That's right, and they've almost defeated the Sardinian Dynasty!" Odilon Barrow responded.

"The Austrian army has degenerated to the point where it can only defeat second-rate countries?" Jerome Bonaparte sneered again.

Odilon Barrot, who knew about the grievance between the Bonaparte family and the Habsburgs, "understood" Jerome Bonaparte's attitude, and it was precisely because he was afraid of Jerome Bonaparte's interest that he I will come over in advance to communicate with the president.

"What is the attitude of His Majesty Pope Pius IX, who is staying in Lyon?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Odilon Barrot.

Hearing Pius IX's Odilon Barrow's expression even more helpless: "The Pope's Secretary of State Antonelli has already gone to Naples. It seems that the Pope is very dissatisfied with our delay in taking action!"

"Before it was because of the problem of form, now..." Jerome Bonaparte looked at Odilon Barrow.

After pondering for a moment, Odilon Barrow responded: "What reason do we enter there? Although we have suppressed the parliament, we have not yet entered the stage of the legislative assembly. I can't guarantee that those guys will oppose us again!"

Jerome Bonaparte tapped lightly on the table with his index finger. After a while, he spoke again: "How about in the name of supporting the Republic?"

"Huh?" Odilon Barrow raised his eyebrows slightly, he didn't seem to understand what Jerome Bonaparte meant.

"We went to the port of Civitavecchia in the name of supporting the Roman Republic. As long as we occupy that port, we can drive straight to the Roman Republic! In the end, we just need to hide our true intentions!" Jerome . Bonaparte explained to Odilon Barrow.

"This is indeed a good idea!" Odilon Barrow nodded and agreed with Jerome Bonaparte's suggestion.

"Then, Mr. Prime Minister, you will bring this plan to your colleagues in the Party of Order! After that, we will discuss a time to send troops together!" Jerome Bonaparte urged Odilon Barrow to leave quickly.

"Okay!" Odilon Barrow, who didn't want to stay at the Elysee Palace, turned around and left the Elysee Palace.

Just when Jerome Bonaparte, who had finished dealing with Odilon Barrot, was about to leave the study, there was a knock on the door, and Jerome Bonaparte had to sit back in his chair and take a good posture: "Please come in! "

Pessini entered the study and reported to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty~www.readwn.com~Colonel Canrobert asks to see you!"

"Then invite him in!"

As soon as the words came out, Jerome Bonaparte, who felt that something was wrong, quickly changed his words and said, "I'll go pick him up myself!"

Under Pesini's shocked expression, Jerome Bonaparte walked with him through the hall of the Elysee Palace to the main entrance.

Standing upright at the main entrance of the Elysee Palace, Canrobert watched as he gradually approached Jerome Bonaparte with a flattered expression.

Jerome Bonaparte looked at a brand-new medal on Conrobert's chest. The front of the medal was a golden head of Napoleon and the back was a pattern of the French tricolor. He held Conrobert's hand tightly. : "Colonel Conrobel, congratulations on receiving the Legion of Honor!"

"Your Majesty!" Canrobert, who was tightly held by Jerome Bonaparte, responded excitedly.

Jerome Bonaparte returned to the study with Conrobert and Persini.

In the study, Jerome Bonaparte said to Conrobert with a solemn expression: "Colonel Conrobert, I wonder if you would like to condescend to be my adjutant!"

Then, Jerome Bonaparte offered Conrobert generous terms: "I promise you, at this time next year, you will become a brigadier general! In a few years, you will become a marshal!"

Conrobert, who has been a potential Bonapartist since the February Revolution, was happy to serve the Bonaparte family, not to mention the promise of Jerome Bonaparte, he immediately said: "It is my responsibility to serve Your Majesty. The greatest honor!"

"Persini!" Jerome Bonaparte pointed to Conrobert and ordered Persini: "Tell Minister Liulier that Colonel Conrobert will be my adjutant from today!"

"Yes! I will tell Liulière!"
