Eugene was not polite at all. He closed the car door and went straight in. "Thiers, what on earth are you doing? We support your election as a member of Parliament because we want you to protect our interests!"
"What's going on now? It's just a matter of raising their military pay. Why do you even have to return the pawned goods to them for free? Is there no such logic in the world?"
"The rent is not allowed to increase? Are evictions not allowed? If those scoundrels maliciously default on the rent, will we be helpless?"
"Give me an explanation. This is also an explanation for all French businessmen..."
Thiers looked around and whispered, "Keep your voice down, keep your voice down! Now the country is in crisis, and the enemy is about to attack Paris. If you don't give these poor guys some sweetness at this time, how can they fight hard?" "
"You must know that this is a temporary bill, and even the committee is temporary. After the formal government is established, all policies will still be adjusted..."
"It's just that there is a half-price redemption policy for pawned items under thirty pounds. In fact, you didn't lose too much money. You still made money on the large pawned items!"
"As for the rent, don't complain. If the Prussians invade Paris and the war breaks out, who will you rent your house to? The rebels will live in it. Do you still want money?"
"Suffer some losses and stabilize people's hearts... After all, it's those people who go to the battlefield and work hard! You need to take a longer-term view..."
"Haha... what you said is really too simple!" Eugene said with a dark face, "Those poor devils all have insatiable desires. You opened a hole today and it will be impossible to close it in the future!"
"The nomads in North Africa have a proverb: If you pity a camel and squeeze its head into a tent to take shelter during a sandstorm, it won't take long for the camel to squeeze its whole body in!"
"Thirty francs at first, then they will ask for three hundred francs, three thousand francs... Now they have to overcome the two difficulties of national crisis and the coming winter..."
"What happens next? They will ask for an increase in the minimum wage, they will ask us to provide injury pensions to all workers... and they will even ask for education funds for the children of all our factories!"
"What will we do then? Who will curb these people's crazy desires?"
Eugene's face was deformed with anger, "The British have long said that private property is sacred and inviolable. The wind can enter my house, the rain can enter, but the king cannot enter!"
"It is this extreme respect for private property that has made Britain the most powerful empire on which the sun never sets! Now are we in France going to reverse course?"
"Let poor people rob other people's property? Pawn shops are not charities, and private houses are not obligated to be used by others... Isn't private property protected?"
"Give me an explanation, give all the businessmen in Paris an explanation!"
Thiers was moved by Eugene's words. It was really difficult to explain this accusation. If he didn't give an explanation today, then after he got off the bus, all the votes that supported him would probably be replaced.
A congressman does not fight alone. He must have the support of every vote bank behind him. This is fundamental!
Do you really want to tell this guy the truth? What if he reveals his secret? But without telling some secret information, this guy will definitely not give up.
That’s all, after all, it’s still the first place in the vote. Let’s bet on whether you, Eugene, are tight-lipped!
"Eugene, you and I have been friends for more than ten years. You must keep what I say next firmly in your heart and keep it in your heart..."
"When you leave this carriage, I will not admit to saying a word..."
Eugene subconsciously straightened his back and looked at Thiers with all his attention, "I would like to hear the details!"
"Eugene, do you know why I didn't appear in the 26-member group? Do you think I can't get the support of the majority of members? To tell you the truth, two-thirds of the members have already surrendered to me!"
"But I have to make advances before retreating, because I see a very bad prospect... The new committee seems to be of a high level, but it may not be able to last for many days due to internal and external troubles!"
Thiers reached out and held Eugene's hand. "My old friend, what I want to do is to become the highest leader in France. Even if it is only for one term, I must go up. This is the most fundamental reason why you support me." reason!"
"Only when I reach the top can I use my rights to protect you all the way up! If you want to grow your business even bigger, can you do it without my protection?"
"Yes, of course I understand this..." Eugene said eagerly, "But why are you retreating now?"
"Haha... Because I am not the highest-ranking member of parliament now. There are many people above me who have more qualifications than me. Even if I join the 26-member group now, I will not be ranked first!"
"General Trochu, Senator Favre, these people are all senior and more prestigious than me! If these people don't step down, how can I rise up?"
"So I'm going to retreat for a while, and I'm going to use active avoidance in exchange for better reputation! Reputation is so important. When I form a cabinet for the second time, I need reputation to help me advance!"
"Second formation of a cabinet?" Eugene was stunned.
The carriage had now left the most crowded neighborhood, and there were far fewer pedestrians on both sides. Thiers smiled sinisterly, "Yes! General Trochu has become the highest authority in the Republic. He thought he had picked up a Treasure, but rights and responsibilities complement each other!"
"After he enjoys the rights, he must bear responsibilities... What is the biggest responsibility right now? That is the war. He must defeat the Prussians on the battlefield!"
"If he fails to do this, he will have to step down!"
"But is Bismarck so easy to deal with? Old Mao Qi even killed two hundred thousand of the empire's elites, so he is still afraid of these miscellaneous troops?"
"To put it harshly, it may be difficult for the Republic to defeat Xiao Letian now!"
"When this government fails one after another, these so-called elders will lose all their reputation and go from being aloof to everyone shouting for beatings..."
"Then it will be time for us to stand out! Hahaha..."
With a hiss... Eugene took a breath of air, "Oh God! Are you going to use the Prussian army to kill all your political opponents?"
"Killing with a borrowed knife? Is this a Chinese proverb...killing with a borrowed knife?"
"Keep your voice down..." Thiers blocked Eugene's mouth. "My old friend, if you heard my secret today, then you will be mine for the rest of your life!"
"Don't try to betray me...the price of betrayal is something you can't bear!"
"From now on, learn to shut up, shut up, keep shutting up!"
