After a brief stay at the City Hall, Jero Bonaparte mounted a white horse and left amidst the "reluctance to part" from the senior civil servants at the City Hall. The soldiers following Jero Bonaparte had already transitioned from infantry to cuirassiers, mbers of the elite cavalry of the First Division directly under the control of Kuzen Montebon, the commander of the Paris First Division.
During the coup d’état in the early hours of December 2nd, the Lance Cavalry Corps served as couriers, accurately conveying directives from the Ministry of War to the subordinate three brigades, enabling them to execute arrest operations with utmost speed.
The white horse carried Jero Bonaparte forward at a slow pace, with the mbers of the Lance Cavalry Corps positioned around him on all four sides, enclosing him completely. To prevent any ambush during Jero Bonaparte’s ride to the Bourbon Palace, each mber of the cavalry around him was tall and imposing, enough to shield Jero Bonaparte’s body.
In addition, each saddle of the cuirassiers was equipped with a pistol, enabling them to quickly draw their weapons to eliminate enemies while protecting Jero Bonaparte. The route Jero Bonaparte chose to reach the Bourbon Palace was ticulously designed, with every street carefully screened to ensure that no threats lurked along the way.
Under this series of rigorous asures, Jero Bonaparte safely and steadily made his way from City Hall to the Bourbon Palace. Along the way, he enthusiastically greeted the residents on both sides of the street, who were pre-arranged to respond warmly to Jero Bonaparte.
After a round of political theatrics, Jero Bonaparte finally arrived at the Bourbon Palace, which symbolizes the highest authority of France’s Legislative Assembly.
Now, an extra "forr" should be added to this so-called highest authority. He had dissolved the Legislative Assembly, aning that from the early hours of December 2nd, the various powers it held were completely abolished, and the second Legislative Assembly he was about to establish would no longer enjoy the sa powers as before.
In other words, as a conqueror, he had completed the governnt of France.
Gazing at the towering Bourbon Palace before him, Jero Bonaparte couldn’t help but feel a multitude of emotions.
After decades, the Second French Empire was about to arrive in France in an entirely new form.
However, the establishnt of the Second French Empire was no longer by his cousin Louis Napoleon; he, who should have been a witness of history and a traveler of ti and space, had beco a creator of history.
The dissolution of the Legislative Assembly was also about a year earlier than in history.
I am creating a whole new history! A history different from that of Napoleon III!
At this mont, Jero Bonaparte felt a profound sense of pride from the bottom of his heart. He felt an imnse honor for being able to create history. He couldn’t help but glance at the sky; a gap suddenly appeared in the oppressive clouds, and a beam of sunlight "happened" to shine down upon Jero Bonaparte.
Upon witnessing such an almost "miraculous" scene, everyone present couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise. Many republicans hidden in the crowd near the Bourbon Palace even began to wonder if "God truly favored the Bonapartes."
Seizing the mont, Valerovsky imdiately shouted, "Long live the Empire, long live Bonaparte!"
After a cry of "long live," the troops and the crowd also shouted, "Long live the Empire, long live Bonaparte!" This shout was like a tumultuous wave that completely shattered the last sacred authority of the Legislative Assembly, replacing it with a sculpture nad Bonaparte.
Could it be that it was indeed Emperor Napoleon from heaven who sent to save the Bonaparte? Is Emperor Napoleon III watching from heaven?
Bathed in sunlight, a surge of indescribable emotion welled up within Jero Bonaparte. It seed as if sothing had been added to his shoulders at that mont.
In a trance, Jero Bonaparte seed to see the Emperor who crossed the Alps in the sky above the Bourbon Palace, and he was still so young.
Watch closely then! I will surely beco you!
Jero Bonaparte couldn’t help but clench his fist with determination.
Before long, the clouds overhead the Bourbon Palace dissipated, and sunlight sowed seeds of what was called the future, as if it cloaked the land in a golden robe.
Jero Bonaparte dismounted, and the surrounding mbers of the Lance Cavalry Corps dismounted as well, making way for Jero Bonaparte.
Jero Bonaparte handed the reins to a nearby cuirassier, and with steady and determined steps, he walked down a corridor ford by soldiers, arriving at a spot less than 20 ters from the Bourbon Palace.
At the entrance of the Bourbon Palace, Jero Bonaparte encountered Major General Canrobert, commander of the Paris Second Brigade, and Brigadier General Leboeuf, the President’s Aide.
After a night of commotion, Canrobert and Leboeuf’s faces showed slight fatigue, but there was still firm determination in their eyes.
"The Paris Second Brigade has smoothly completed its mission, encountering no resistance!" Canrobert reported to Jero Bonaparte in a tense tone, "We have succeeded!"
"Yes... We have succeeded!" Jero Bonaparte also displayed a heartfelt smile on his face, extrely excited as he tightly shook hands with Canrobert, "I will never forget your achievents!"
Then, looking at the officers behind Canrobert, Jero Bonaparte said loudly, "The Bonaparte Clan will always rember you!"
The officers’ faces also revealed smiles as they had worked hard for Jero Bonaparte to secure their own positions in the future.
After a while, Jero Bonaparte sobered up from his excitent and slowly released Conrobel’s hand.
"By the way, Conrobel! Have all the representatives arrived?" Jero Bonaparte inquired about the representatives from Conrobel. After Jero Bonaparte detained most of the representatives in the coup, he inford the Bonapartist representatives and invited them to attend the Legislative Assembly on December 2nd.
"Mr. President, the number of representatives might be a bit low!" Conrobel awkwardly responded to Jero Bonaparte.
Of the more than 750 representatives, only about 180 were truly loyal to Bonaparte, and only about 120 were able to reach the Bourbon Palace Assembly.
"Hmph!" Jero Bonaparte sneered dismissively, "Forget it! I don’t expect them to accomplish anything significant!"
Under the frawork designed by Jero Bonaparte, the Legislative Assembly representatives only had the power to agree to proposals, and all their speeches would be confined within the Bourbon Palace, preventing them from reaching the outside.
This regi was generally similar to that of the historical Napoleon III, with so changes in the proposals being set in five-year templates. This ant that the Assembly would approve five-year proposals and have no authority to intervene in expenditures within those five years, such a "rogue" loophole could effectively prevent Jero Bonaparte from having his neck choked by a second assembly.
Historically, his cousin failed several tis to increase military spending because there were too many opposition mbers in the second assembly.
From Prussia and Austria to the Franco-Prussian War, the Second French Empire was entangled in the parliant and military for four full years, thus missing the final opportunity.
400,000 versus 800,000; unless Old Maoqi’s brain was kicked by a mule, they would only need a frontal assault to defeat France.
Learning from previous lessons, when Jero Bonaparte dealt with the regi, he left enough buffer for himself, allowing him to bypass constitutional stipulations with different thods.
Of course, regarding unnecessary issues, Jero Bonaparte still chose to respect the Assembly’s decisions.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Conrobel nodded empathetically, "Only the military is your most reliable ally!"
Jero Bonaparte glanced at Conrobel again, a smile at the corner of his mouth as he said, "Let’s go! Let see who exactly is present!"
Jero Bonaparte and Valerovsky entered the Bourbon Palace together, while Conrobel and Leboeuf guarded outside the Bourbon Palace to prevent anyone from disrupting the "sacred" National Assembly.
Even though the military had already completely controlled Paris, a few runaway representatives were still a hidden danger. Conrobel and the others didn’t want to fail at the most critical mont.
...
"The President is here!"
With a shout from the conference hall of the Bourbon Palace, everyone’s eyes inside the Bourbon Palace simultaneously turned towards the right corridor.
Jero Bonaparte and Valerovsky appeared in the conference hall from the corridor.
At the instant Jero Bonaparte’s figure appeared in the conference hall, all the Bonapartist representatives, including Jero Bonaparte’s father, Prince Monfort, quickly rose to show their respect to the new ruler of France.
With a smile on his face, Jero Bonaparte looked at the group of Bonapartist representatives before him, motioning with a wave, "Please sit down!"
Upon hearing Jero Bonaparte’s command, the representatives quickly sat down.
With Speaker Dubin of the Legislative Assembly having been arrested, Vice President Blair beca the presiding officer of the Bourbon Palace Legislative Assembly.
As the presiding officer, he did not sit in the original Speaker’s position but rather in the Deputy Secretary-General’s position to the left of the Speaker.
Jero Bonaparte sat step by step in the Legislative Assembly Speaker’s position, which also represented Jero Bonaparte’s complete control over executive power and judicial interpretation rights.
Sitting in the Speaker’s position, Jero Bonaparte looked at the representatives in the gallery below, and almost every representative’s deanor and actions were captured in Jero Bonaparte’s view.
Very good! Just like this!
