As the news of Odi Lombarro's dismissal for failing to meet the president's expectations spread across Paris through the Elysee Palace, the calm Paris civil service caused ripples due to the Prime Minister's dismissal. Many middle-level civil servants are prime ministers. Surprised by the sudden dismissal.

Surprise return surprise, life still has to go on. Except for a few civil servants who were deeply involved with Odi Lombaro, the rest continued to work according to the original trajectory.

If there is any change, it is that the work efficiency of civil servants in the gap period has generally improved a lot.

Every time a card is changed, some civil servants will be kicked out of the government. In order not to be kicked out, all civil servants are working overtime and trying their best to infiltrate.

I would rather exhaust myself than kill others.

After Audi Lombarro resigned sadly, all the cabinet ministers subordinate to Audi Lombaro also submitted their resignation letters to Jerome Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte approved their resignation letters one by one.

On October 17, Jerome Bonaparte announced that he would appoint the Count of Opel as Prime Minister.

As soon as the news came out, the whole of Paris was once again plunged into small-scale chaos. Many republicans and the remnant Montagnards criticized that the cabinet formed by Jerome Bonaparte was a military cabinet, and the purpose was to please Changarnier.

The soldiers applauded Jerome Bonaparte's appointment of General Auper as prime minister, which means that the military's interference in politics has become a possibility.

As for the Party of Order, after Odi Lombarro returned to the headquarters of the Party of Order, the contradictions originally hidden in the Anbu resurfaced. Thiers, Morlaix and Odi Lombaro, the left and right wing members of the dynasty were torn apart again, and the orthodox Pie is also fanning the flames.

During the torment within the Party of Order, some members of the Party of Order saw the "weakness" of the Party of Order, and they moved closer to the Elysee Palace.

The Elysée faction grew again, and its number gradually surpassed the members of the Republicans and Mountains.

On October 20, after three days of "intensive gongs and drums" of preparations, Prime Minister Opper released the list of cabinet members to the outside world.

On this day, Victor Hugo went to his rundown newspaper office as usual.

Affected by the "Association Law" and "Newspaper Office Law" by Audi Lombarro, Victor Hugo's newspaper office has gradually become unreasonable.

In addition, Hawass News Agency recently raised the price of its newspapers to about 4 centimes on the grounds of "creating cheap newspapers for readers".

Under the power of 4 centime newspapers, many small and medium-sized newspapers could not fight the price war with Hawass News Agency. They were either forced to announce their acceptance of Hawass News Agency's merger, or they were dragged down and went bankrupt.

With the exception of a few semi-official newspapers, such as "Bonaparte", "National" and "Gazette", the whole of Paris is already under the control of Havas News Agency, which Victor Hugo also heard that Havas News Agency has recently acquired The investments of Achille Fuld and Emile Perel meant they could use a price war to bring down all the surviving newspapers in Paris.

Competing prices with Hawass is unwise.

"Mr. Charles Hawass is a terrible person!" Victor Hugo sighed.

Of course, Victor Hugo didn't know that the president of Hawass News Agency was not actually Ciel Hawass. The current Xal Hawass just assumed the responsibilities of a professional manager. Behind it was an invisible black hand, the black hand's The owner is in the Elysee Palace.

"Father, we can't lower the price of newspapers any more, otherwise we will go bankrupt!" Francois Hugo said anxiously to Victor Hugo.

"I know!" Victor Hugo nodded reluctantly in response. He also didn't want to lower the price, but the newspapers under the Hawass News Agency were about to be overwhelmed. When the content of the newspapers was not as good as others, they could only compete for prices: "François, how is the loan going?"

Francois Hugo frowned and said: "Father, those bankers are not willing to lend us money! They think that father, your newspaper is a loss-making business! If you are willing to go back to the old business, you can buy another one. Don't talk about the year."

"Alas!" Victor Hugo sighed, thinking about whether he should go back to his old business and write a play.

However, there is no time for Victor Hugo to write a drama right now. He has been running around all day as a Senator for a long time without writing.

"Father, I heard that the cabinet members will be announced today!" Francois Hugo turned the topic to the cabinet members.

Victor Hugo was silent, remembering the scene when Jerome Bonaparte had visited him a month earlier.

A month ago, in the living room of Hugo's mansion.

The uninvited Jerome Bonaparte was still wearing a Lev dress, with the Legion of Glory on his chest, sitting in front of Victor Hugo, who looked at the imitator in front of him with a serious look.

"Mr. Hugo, I came to visit you today, firstly to thank you for your support, and secondly to ask what you think of Mr. Odillombarro?" Jerome Bonaparte sincerely said to Vic Hugo said.

"Mr. President, I'm not a person who likes to manipulate power!" Victor Hugo did not respond to Jerome Bonaparte's question, and sneered at Jerome Bonaparte.

In the past six months, Victor Hugo has seen the true face of Jerome Bonaparte.

What public education! What removes the influence of religion!

None of what Jerome Bonaparte promised was fulfilled, and all he saw was the stricter laws and the gendarmerie hidden in the dark, watching the movements of Paris all the time.

Democracy and freedom gradually became a luxury in Paris, and the atmosphere of autocracy permeated the whole Paris.

Victor Hugo saw Jerome Bonaparte's ambition and his ugly face under his power desire.

"Well...Mr. Hugo, I also don't like manipulators!" Jerome Bonaparte didn't seem to understand what Victor Hugo meant, and he still pretended to be innocent. Guo said: "So I think we should defeat Mr. Odillombarro, only in this way can France usher in true freedom!"

"Your Excellency Jerome Bonaparte... No, should I call you His Majesty the Emperor!" Victor Hugo simply tore off the veil of hypocrisy and attacked Jerome Bonaparte: "You control the entire country as you please. , trying to make everyone in this country crawl at your feet and call you Emperor. Wake up! France has woken up! You are nothing but a vile imitator!"

Victor Hugo's sharp language made Jerome Bonaparte silent. He didn't understand how Victor Hugo saw his ambitions. Did his ambitions really reach the point where he couldn't hide them?

"Mr. Hugo, I don't know where you heard these unfriendly remarks! I respect the Republic and am willing to fight for it. I am not a so-called careerist!" Jerome Bonaparte still did not tear off his disguise.

Jerome Bonaparte's words were met with ridicule by Victor Hugo.

In his eyes, Jerome Bonaparte has become synonymous with ambition.

Ugh! Isn't it a wayfarer after all?

Victor Hugo's refusal to cooperate made Jerome Bonaparte a little disappointed. Although he had been careful to avoid breaking with Victor Hugo, Victor Hugo still followed the trajectory of history and parted ways with himself, even dismissing Odilon. Barrow can't accept it, how can he accept his future coup!

"Mr. Hugo, I know you have a lot of misunderstandings about me!" Jerome Bonaparte sighed and said to Victor Hugo in a sincere tone: "But I still respect you! If you are willing to support me If so, it would be even better!"

"I will never support you!" Victor Hugo shot back Jerome Bonaparte word for word.

Jerome Bonaparte left with regret, knowing that this might be the last face-to-face conversation he had with Victor Hugo.

...

"Father~www.novelhall.com~ If you had agreed to the president's request! Maybe, you would have gotten the Minister of Education! Even without you, Odi Lombarro would have been dismissed!" Francois Hugo expressed regret Say.

"François!" Victor Hugo reprimanded Francois Hugo with sharp eyes: "I will never help a careerist realize his ambition! The Republic cannot have an emperor!"

For the furious Victor Hugo, Francois Hugo could only smile bitterly: "I... I understand!"

Just as Victor Hugo reprimanded Francois Hugo, the Charles Hugo newspaper broke in and shouted: "Father!"

Both Victor Hugo and Francois Hugo were attracted by Charles Hugo's voice, and they looked at the newspaper in Charles Hugo's hand.

Charles Hugo opened the newspaper folded in half: "Father, the list of new cabinet members has been determined!"

"Read!" Victor Hugo responded to Charles Hugo.

"List of cabinet members!" Charles Hugo read word by word, everyone in the newspaper listened intently, and even the work of rushing to work also put aside the printing work in their hands: "Cabinet Prime Minister: Alphonse Henri Opel ( Orleanist), Minister of the Interior: Fernand Barrow, Minister of Finance: Achille Fuld, Minister of Public Works: Morny, Minister of War: Jean Reno, Minister of the Navy: Dicko (neutral), Minister of Agriculture and Commerce: Bife, Minister of Public Education: Parrio, Minister of Justice: Eugene Rouet, Minister of Foreign Affairs: Deluis (Orleanist).”

In the entire cabinet team, except for a few departments controlled by the Orleanists, all the remaining departments are controlled by the Bonapartists.
