Make France Great Again

Chapter 95: President and his Prime Minister

Due to Jerome Bonaparte's behavior of walking all the way, it took nearly half an hour to complete the journey that originally only took ten minutes.

At the gate of the Bourbon Palace, four generals in military uniforms were quietly watching Jerome Bonaparte.

They were General Reigno de Saint-Jean-Danggerier, General Aupoer, General Changarnier, General Victor Castellane (Count).

Among them, General Castellane looked at Jerome Bonaparte in the distance with mixed emotions in his eyes. He leaned over to Changarnier and asked in a low voice, "General Changarnier, our president is still Before taking office, I couldn't wait to keep in touch with the army, just like the original emperor!"

After listening to General Castellane's provocation, General Changarnier's expression remained calm. He spoke slowly and said in a calm tone, "Isn't Mr. President's liking of the army exactly what you guys want to see?"

"Who knows?" Castellane shrugged his shoulders and responded in a strange tone, his eyes turned to Jerome Bonaparte again.

Changarnier frowned slightly, then returned to his indifferent expression.

Jerome Bonaparte, who came to the front of the four generals, shook hands with General Reno, General Aupoer, General Castellane with a smile, and when he stretched out his hand in front of General Changarnier , the little old man Changarnier did not extend his hand, but said lightly: "Mr. President, your inaugural speech is about to start, we should go in!"

Having said that, Changarnier turned around and entered the venue, leaving only the embarrassed Jerome Bonaparte.

"Hahaha... Our General Changarnier is really a resolute general!" Jerome Bonaparte, who was annoyed at Changarnier's arrogance, teased.

"That's right! General Changarnier has always been a resolute person!" In order to ease the embarrassment, General Opper also echoed.

Castellane glanced at General Opel, then at Jerome Bonaparte, and smiled again.

"Let's go! Don't make the colleagues of the Republic wait!" Jerome Bonaparte said to the three generals present.

The three generals walked at the front of the line, and Jerome Bonaparte walked at the end of the line.

The three people who entered the hall of the Bourbon Palace walked through the long and narrow corridor covered with red carpets and came to the door of the main hall. On the other side of the door was the National Assembly, which could accommodate nearly a thousand people.

Changarnier, who was standing at the door, re-integrated into the team, and he pushed open the door of the National Assembly.

Jerome Bonaparte and others entered the National Assembly one by one, and they stayed in the corridor on the right side of the National Assembly waiting for the signal to enter.

Maraste, who was standing on the podium, saw Changarnier who had entered the arena, and he had already concluded that Jerome Bonaparte had entered the arena. He knocked on the wooden palm on the podium and said loudly: "Silence. !"

The originally slightly noisy National Assembly fell silent in an instant. The members sitting in the box seats and the hall seats waited solemnly for Marast's speech. They knew that their Mr. President had arrived.

Marast stood up with a solemn expression and read out: "In the name of the French people,

Whereas the citizen of Joseph Gerome Bonaparte, born in Paris, meets the conditions for election under Article 44 of the Constitution;

In view of the fact that he received an absolute majority of the votes in the public elections for the President held throughout the territory of the Republic;

According to Articles 47 and 48 of the Constitution, the National Assembly Zit declared the citizen President of the Republic for a term of office from today to the second Sunday of May 1852. "

After Marast's solemn announcement was over, the members of the parliament gave a warm applause. They were either sincerely or perfunctory applauding for the Republic.

Then Marast added: "According to the decree, this Speaker will invite citizens of the President of the French Republic to come to the rostrum in order to take the oath of office!"

The time has quietly come to 4 o'clock, the night is gradually falling, the spacious National Assembly hall is already half dark, the glass chandelier lit with candles is put down from the ceiling, the bailiff sends the candle to the rostrum, Speaker Maras Te gestured toward the left corridor.

The four generals of Changarnier walked to the rostrum. They represented the army protecting the president. Jerome Bonaparte stood on the rostrum.

"Dear compatriots, as God's testimony, in front of the National Assembly representing the French people..." Jerome Bonaparte looked straight ahead and tried to swear in a standard Parisian accent.

Although Jerome Bonaparte has worked very hard to change, he still has some Tuscan flavors.

This may not be easy for ordinary people to hear. For Thiers and others, the Parisian accent with Tuscan flavor is simply a good joke.

Thiers leaned in front of Barrow and whispered, "His accent is terrible!"

Barrow and the members of the Party of Order beside him couldn't help but laugh.

On the stage, Jerome Bonaparte put his right hand on his chest, trying to make others believe in him more: "I swear to be loyal to the Republic and the Constitution!"

There was sparse applause from the audience~www.readwn.com~ After a few seconds, more and more people began to applaud.

Jerome Bonaparte temporarily bid farewell to the rostrum after bowing to all the deputies present.

Immediately afterwards, Cavaignac came to power. At this time, Cavaignac no longer had the charm of being a dictator before.

Holding the speech, he stammered to express his blessings to Jerome Bonaparte, and at the same time expressed his joy for the future of the French Republic.

Jerome Bonaparte reacted to the rostrum again. He stretched out his hand and said to Cavaignac: "At this time when the old and the new are changing, should the two of us shake hands, Mr. Ruling!"

Cavaignac smiled reluctantly and shook hands with Jerome Bonaparte, then turned and came down from the rostrum.

Perhaps because Cavaignac couldn't bear the blow of losing his power, he fell directly from the second step as he walked down from the rostrum. This was the first time someone fell from a step with only three steps.

"It seems that our M. Dicketeau can't bear the blow!" Thiers said to Barrow in a playful tone.

Odilon Baromer was silent, his eyes fixed on the rostrum as if he was waiting for something.

"Here, I announce that I will establish a cabinet that will serve the National Assembly and serve all the French people! I will nominate Mr. Odilon Barrow to serve as Prime Minister!" On the day of his appointment, Jerome Bonaparte, A bomb was dropped at the National Assembly.

The Republicans and the Mountain Party looked at Odilon Barrow on the side of the Party of Order at the same time, and the colleagues of the Party of Order also wanted to congratulate Odilon Barrow.

Odilon Barrow, who heard the news, showed a look of joy. After more than ten years of struggle in the July Dynasty, he finally became the Prime Minister of the Second Republic.
