When Gambetta left the presidential palace, he was still angry. Of course he knew the details of this idiot president. The French Third Reich had just been established, and the royalist party was still very powerful.
God knows when there will be another restoration. The influence of the Bonaparte family in France is too great, and the son of Napoleon III is still very good.
Napoleon III had just died in England two years ago. Republicans like Gambetta breathed a sigh of relief, but then they heard the rumor that the Queen of England wanted to engage Joseph Bonaparte.
The entire French republican faction stood on end. This was a very dangerous signal. Joseph Bonaparte was the last heir to the French royal family and the most upright person in the legal system.
If he marries a British princess, it means that Britain will become his backing. With the support of Britain, the restoration elements in France will fight back crazily!
Damn it, look at Patrice McMahon's face, an uneducated guy who can become president with the support of those royalists.
The French Republic has reached its most critical moment. This danger does not come from the outside but from the inside!
Benjamin convinced McMahon that if there was no secret deal, McMahon would probably hand over the command of the French battleships to Joseph Bonaparte.
He secretly allowed Joseph Bonaparte to participate in this expedition, and then used the news of victory to increase his reputation!
The French people need a victory so much, so much! Whoever leads France to complete the battle of revenge will be the king in the eyes of the people!
At present, it is impossible for France to seek revenge from Germany. Germany has established a continental army and is the strongest in the European continent. France is no opponent.
Only one ethnic Chinese can still take advantage, and they have to drag Britain into the water. If Britain does not go to war, France can only lie dormant in humiliation!
The French navy did not suffer much losses in the Franco-Prussian War, especially the leadership system inside.
The newly established Republic has not yet been able to make a major change in the command system of the French Navy!
There is nothing that can be done about this. The navy is too professional. If you take away a professional, you must have a new one to replace it. There is no way to make up for it!
Unlike the Army, which can quickly recruit some mid-level commanders at any time, even senior commanders can grab a lot of them.
This has resulted in the French Navy now operating the new Zhiyuan series of warships, but the officers and soldiers are still the same old team from the past!
In other words, more than 80% of the officials there were promoted by Napoleon III! These people are naturally close to Joseph Bonaparte. This is their benefactor!
Napoleon III died of illness, and his son became the leader of the royalists. This was their Prince Eugene!
Gambetta knew very well that these royalists all affectionately called Napoleon IV Eugène, and only outsiders like them would call him Joseph.
Now I am afraid that the French Navy will secretly take Joseph Bonaparte to the warship and head to Asia together!
If this halo of victory is placed on his head, the Republic will be in danger!
"Haha... Napoleon, Eugène, Louis, Jean-Joseph, Bonaparte! You'd better not go, you will cause France to fall into division!"
"I'm so confused! Do I have to be forced to secretly send this information to the Chinese? Damn it...should I be loyal to France or to the Republic?"
"Which is more important, this nation or this system? God! Please give me a revelation!"
Gambetta was caught in a tangle, but far across the strait in England, in a private cemetery in Hampshire, a mother and son stood in front of the grave and bowed their heads in silence.
The name of Napoleon III is engraved on the tomb, and flowers are piled in front of the tombstone. Queen Eugenie and her son Prince Eugène are standing here quietly.
"Father! Bless me! I'm going to the far east to avenge you... This time I'm just charging a little interest to avenge Xiao Letian!"
"After I defeat China, I will do everything possible to restore it!"
"At that time, I will make France strong again, and I will unite with Britain, and the two kings will work together to defeat greedy Germany!"
"Mother! The child is about to leave, please take care of yourself!"
Queen Eugenie pulled up her cloak to block the morning fog and cold air in England. "Go, my son! The pride of France... You must always remember that the Bonaparte family is the military soul of the French nation!"
"Without the leadership of the Bonaparte family, the French nation would never have inspired a martial spirit!"
"Without our family, France will surely perish... Maybe they will become a European surplus country that is content with a small amount of wealth, but!"
"I curse that republic... I curse this republic on behalf of the blood of the entire Bonaparte family for generations!"
"France will never become a military power in the hands of the Republic. You will always become a vassal of other powers. You will always be a weakling!"
Queen Eugenie looked at her lover's tombstone. She was almost turning into a witch. His eyes were gleaming with hatred, and his whole body was shaking as if he was performing some kind of witch spell ritual.
"Child, you must remember! Our Bonaparte family is not a lunatic greedy for power! Everything we do is for the betterment of this empire!"
"Because God has given us the Bonaparte family the right to hold high the banner of the French Army!"
"This is what God has given us! The great Napoleon the Great, your uncle, he ascended the throne wearing an iron crown! His identity is recognized by God!"
"Without our Bonaparte family, France will sink forever and become a country that surrenders to its weaklings!"
Eugène Joseph Bonaparte's body was trembling with excitement. He stood respectfully in front of his mother and listened to her teachings. At this moment, he seemed to see his father's soul watching him in heaven!
"Yes! Mother, I will never forget...our Bonaparte family came to the throne wearing an iron crown!"
"The iron crown is stained with the blood of Jesus! The holy thing has chosen us, and God has chosen us!"
"All the glory and brilliance of the French Empire were created by our family! Without us, France will definitely become a nation where everyone is selfish and only knows how to protest, demand, and cause trouble, but does not know how to sacrifice and contribute!"
"Without the Bonaparte family, there would never be a military spirit in France!"
"My child is going to the Isle of Wight now! I will board a battleship to expedition to East Asia and return to the motherland with news of victory!"
"I will let everyone know! France cannot live without Napoleon!"
"Otherwise! France will perish forever!"
