In the face of everyone's questioning eyes, Cavaignac, who was born in the military, has no stage fright.

"After the coup d'état, power will be concentrated in Jerome Bonaparte's Elysée Palace. I have a deep understanding of this!" Cavaignac said confidently: "They don't want to concentrate power on that Italian boy. !"

"General Cavaignac, do you mean that the purpose of their military exercise at this time is not for a coup d'etat?" Lamartine, who was relieved in his heart, asked again.

Compared to Cavaignac, Lamartine, who also served as the ruler of the Republic, is like a newcomer to politics.

"The purpose of their military parade is to demonstrate against us!" Bastide, who served as foreign minister, also pointed out the root cause of the problem: "The purpose of publishing the military parade in a grand manner is to disrupt our army!"

"Then what method should we use to deal with it!" Lamartine then asked Cavaignac.

Bastide and Cavaignac looked at each other, Bastide spread his hands and said helplessly, "There's no way!"

Cavaignac also added: "Changarnier and Odilon Barrow obviously have the support of their party and the president, and we cannot defeat them through procedures!"

"Then can we just sit and do nothing?" Lamartine shouted in despair.

"Mr. Lamartine, no matter how much you shout, it's no use!" Cavaignac, who had lost his power, said with a hatred of being irresponsible: "We have lost everything! The army, the police, the National Guard, and now we can only pray that they will be able to deal with it. Be kind!"

If it wasn't for these guys desperately opposing, he would have reached a cooperation with the Party of Order to become the first president of France.

With the army and the police in his hands, he is fully capable of removing the Party of Order and returning a clean cabinet to the National Assembly.

It's not like the remnants of some dynasties are sitting in the cabinet position, but these revolutionaries have been kicked out.

"By the way! President, we can influence the president! As long as the president doesn't agree, then everything can be saved!" A voice came from behind Lamartine, and everyone noticed the guy behind Lamartine, who was Victor . Hugo's son Charles. Hugo.

"My father supported the president at the time, and he should be able to persuade the president to give up the military parade!" Charles Hugo said excitedly: "I believe that the president will not want to see the party of Order dominate, which is not in line with his checks and balances. choose!"

Everyone was thinking about Charles Hugo's answer. From the point of view of maintaining checks and balances, the National Assembly has no trace, and Jerome Bonaparte really cannot kill the republicans.

[PS: The republicans still regard Jérôme Bonaparte as a passer-by until the end of get out of class. 】

"Will this cause trouble to Mr. Hugo?" Lamartine hesitated. As Hugo's friend, Lamartine really didn't want to see his old friend embarrassed. The party of order and the republic belonged to two different camps! .

"No!" Charles Hugo responded immediately: "Although my father is in the Party of Order, his heart is always with you! My father must be very willing to help!"

Under the circumstance of Charles Hugo's slap on the chest, Lamartine and others pinned their hopes on Victor Hugo.

Lamartine personally went to the Place des Vosges to meet Hugo. After a brief discussion, Victor Hugo decided to help the republicans "overcome the difficulties".

Victor Hugo took a stagecoach to the Elysee Palace.

At this time, Jerome Bonaparte was sitting in a square room in the Elysée Palace, with imperial-style parapets and white wood decoration. There are oil paintings and sculptures hanging on the walls. Although the oil paintings are not the works of celebrities, they also have a unique flavor.

President Jerome Bonaparte wore a red velvet round head, and on his left sat a beautiful young woman, the Marquise of Allais.

Morney and another restrained middle-aged man sat directly opposite Jerome Bonaparte.

"Mr. President, I take the liberty to disturb you at this time!" The middle-aged man clasped his hands on his thighs and said uneasily.

"Alfred Picard, isn't it?" Jerome Bonaparte showed a kind smile and said in a kind tone: "It doesn't matter! No matter when, I will be happy to fight with you on the front line like you. talk to the workers!"

The guy in front of him is a member of the railway committee that Morney is preparing to set up, and he is also a national engineer of the road and bridge unit.

Today he arrived with Morne to report to Jérôme Bonaparte on the task he had assigned to the railway commission.

"Mr. President, all the materials are here!" Alfre Pilka handed a stack of sorted materials to Jerome Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte, who received the materials, did not read the thick materials, but asked Pilka directly: "Mr. Pilka, I would like to ask if France is capable of completing the planned plan at this stage!"

Pilka said intermittently: "If... I mean if I didn't think about the funding issue..."

"You don't need to think about the financial issue, I just need to ask if you have any technical difficulties!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Pilka.

"There is no technical difficulty! We have been measuring and calibrating those railways for more than ten years!" Alfred Picard explained to Jerome Bonaparte. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

"Very good!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded slightly. He picked up the documents and flipped through them and asked, "Mr. Picard, do you have the confidence to complete these routes within five years?"

"Mr. President, we have the confidence to complete it! It's just..." Picard hesitated and did not speak.

"Just what?" Jerome Bonaparte looked up at Picard.

"It's just that it is likely to cost hundreds of millions of francs!" Alfred Picard said through gritted teeth, "We have roughly calculated the required costs, including Lyon-Marseille, Paris-Nancy-Sterre Lasbourg, Paris-Brussels, Paris-Bruges-Toulouse, Paris-Nantes-Brest, the cost of these main trunk lines is conservatively estimated to cost 100-200 million francs per year!”

"Oh my God!" Alfred Pilka's numbers did not frighten Jerome Bonaparte, but frightened the Marquise of Allais beside him.

In 1848, the gold content of one franc was 0.29 grams, 100-200 million francs per year, which is equivalent to 29-58 tons of gold input per year.

"Don't worry about the cost! Trust the market's confidence in the railway!" Jerome Bonaparte tried to console Alfred Picard.

PS: I reviewed the Constitution of the Second French Republic and found that the power of the President in the Constitution of the Second Republic is close to that of an autocratic emperor. The National Assembly can't do any damage to the President without forming an absolute advantage of 2/3. The President can complete the reorganization of the military power by replacing the Minister of War. In other words, as long as the President and the Minister of War are strong enough, they can directly put the Parliament. kicked aside. I really don't know what the Constituent Assembly thought, giving the President more power than the King of Orleans.
