Make France Great Again

"What you are doing now is fighting for the future of France as a whole. France will never forget what you have done! I believe that with your efforts, the Office of the Military Secretary will flourish every day!"

Jérôme Bonaparte, who had finished the task, stood up and saluted all the officers present with a solemn expression, and the officers hurriedly returned the salute to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"I entrust the future of France to you!" Jerome Bonaparte said with a heavy tone.

"We will swear allegiance to Mr. President!" Under the leadership of Leboeuf, all the officers present, no matter whether they were sincere or following the crowd, they all swore allegiance to Jerome Bonaparte, regardless of the The object is the Republic, not Jerome Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte showed a smile, he waved his hand and the officers retreated one after another.

"Lieutenant Colonel Trochu, you stay here for a while, I have something to talk to you about!" Seeing that Trochu was about to leave the conference hall, Jerome Bonaparte said immediately.

Trochu, who heard Jerome Bonaparte's order, stopped, with a slight shock on his face. He didn't understand why the president stopped him.

There was a hint of envy in the eyes of the departing officers around them. In their opinion, Trochu might have good luck.

"Yes! Mr. President!" Trochu nodded slightly, strode to the seat just now and sat down, waiting for Jerome Bonaparte.

After the others left one after another, the door of the conference hall was closed again.

Only Jerome Bonaparte and Trochu were left at the scene.

Trochu, who was sitting in his seat, subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked nervously at the president in front of him who could decide his life or death.

Jerome Bonaparte saw Trochu's nervousness, he stepped forward and patted Trochu on the shoulder and comforted him in a kind tone: "Mr. Trochu, don't be nervous! I will leave you alone, Just wanted to ask you some questions!"

"Mr. President, tell me! I will answer truthfully!" Trochu hurriedly expressed his loyalty to Jerome Bonaparte.

"If there is nothing wrong with the records of the Ministry of War, you should be the adjutant of Brigadier General Saint Arnaud. Right!" Jerome Bonaparte asked Trochu unhurriedly.

"No...that's right! I was ordered to be the adjutant of Brigadier General Saint Arnaud." Trochu answered Jerome Bonaparte's question carefully.

Before confirming the president's attitude towards his old boss, Trochu could only respond carefully.

What a slick!

Jerome Bonaparte laughed and cursed in his heart.

Why couldn't he hear that Trochu was putting himself in a position where he could advance and retreat freely, and the word "ordered" represented the official attitude of the province of Constantinople [Algeria's colonial province]. If Bonaparte didn't like St. Arnaud, he could just defer everything to official appointments.

"What kind of person do you think Commodore Saint Arnaud is?" Jerome Bonaparte continued to ask Saint Arnaud.

In order not to leave a chewing impression in front of Jerome Bonaparte, Trochu carefully praised his former boss: "Brigadier General Saint Arnaud is a dedicated and loyal officer. During my stay in Algiers, I I have been taken care of by him a lot. Not only me, many people in the army he led have been taken care of by the brigadier general. Even my being able to come here is also arranged by him!"

"It seems that General Saint-Arnault is still a good general who knows how to fight, and I really hope to have the opportunity to have an interview with him!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded in satisfaction. He was thinking about when to send this The generals who had historically assisted in his coup were reassigned to Paris.

Jerome Bonaparte's affirmation gave Trochu even more motivation, and he worked harder to promote his old chief. He had just been promoted and he must be in the stage of staying still in a short period of time, which is not the case in Paris. There are so many battles, but as long as my old chief can be promoted, then I don't have to worry about getting promoted.

"The general once told me that what he regrets the most in his life is not joining the emperor's army in time! He often tells us things related to the empire! He also respects you very much, Mr. President!" Trochu Then he flattered his old chief.

"Yes! I see!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded and responded to Trochu.

Immediately, tactfully let Trochu leave.

After Trochu got up and saluted Jerome Bonaparte again, he left the conference hall.

Not long after, Jerome Bonaparte also left the conference hall, and left the military secretary hall while everyone was watching.

Jerome Bonaparte, who returned to the Elysee Palace, happened to meet Colonel Conrobert, who returned from the Ministry of War. He became a bridge between the president and the Ministry of War, and he was also a rising upstart of the Elysee Palace. .

"Let's go!" Jerome Bonaparte entered the study together with Canrobert.

In the study, Conrobert reported to Jerome Bonaparte the main content of the meeting of the Ministry of War.

"Okay! I did not misunderstand General Reignio! He was able to surround Rome in such a short period of time!" Jerome Bonaparte applauded applauding.

On April 28, 1849, under the secret instructions of Jerome Bonaparte and the Party of Order, the Minister of War Liueli signed the order to march into the Roman Republic.

In the name of protecting the Roman Republic, the 20,000 Alpine Front Army, led by the commander of the expeditionary force, Major General Reinio, marched towards Civitavecchia in a mighty manner.

The 20,000 expeditionary force landed in Civitavecchia on May 7 with the cooperation of the French Navy. The port of Civitavecchia, which had not reacted, fell instantly, the city council was dissolved, and the priests re-occupied the mainstream .

From the 7th to the 10th, General Regno continued to advance steadily, and the heavy artillery was transported by the navy to the port of Civitavecchia.

When it was less than 3 kilometers away from the city of Rome, Mazzini, who was in power in the Roman Republic, realized that the French Republic was not here to help them.

He quickly transferred away from the National Self-Defense Forces to attack the 20,000 French troops. The troops of more than 8,000 people were defeated in less than one round. It's an unrealistic thing.

On May 16, the French army set up camp in the countryside outside the city of Rome. He wanted to gradually eliminate the remnants of the Roman Republic, and then attack the inner city in one fell swoop to destroy the Roman Republic.

Just like destroying those Berbers in Algiers!

[PS: There are some errors between the information Jerome Bonaparte got from Canrobert and General Reignio's actual actions in Rome. 】

"Pissini, help me draft a letter! The content of the letter is as follows..." Jerome Bonaparte said to Persini who had just stepped into the study.

Pessini listened intently to Jerome Bonaparte's dictation.

After finishing the dictation, Jerome Bonaparte ordered Pessini to deliver the letter to General Canio in Rome as soon as possible.
