Jérôme's insinuation made Dr. James embarrassed for several seconds. This revolutionary wind blown by the London Stock Exchange [Note 1] did not set off a revolution in the place where it originated. Instead, it set off a revolution on the other side of the English Channel. A massive revolutionary movement, which in turn affected Britain and forced Britain to reform.
In order to protect his remaining patriotism, Dr. James stiffened his neck and retorted: "We Angsa people are a nation with a spirit of contract, and we will definitely not be like those mobs in France!"
"Hahahaha... the spirit of contract?" Jérôme couldn't help laughing.
This laughter made Dr. James feel annoyed, and he couldn't help but refuted: "Your Excellency, what's so funny about this!"
Jérôme suppressed his smile and responded with a very crooked expression: "Sir, what you call the spirit of contract is that factory owners are free to fire workers? Does the fact that poor people are free to starve to death represent the spirit of contract? Does the abolition of the Poor Law also represent the spirit of contract? ?”
Jérôme's barrage of questions left Dr. James speechless. With his petty bourgeois nature, he had a hint of sympathy for the lower class on the one hand, but also hated change on the other.
Any change might cause his class to fall. James felt uncomfortable every time he thought about being among those dirty workers.
Not to mention the British Kingdom's propaganda to demonize the revolution day and night, making the middle class prefer reform to revolution.
After a while, James retorted: "The revolution brings only destruction and chaos! It gives careerists an opportunity to take advantage of it. You, the Bonaparte family, were the beneficiaries of the original riot! Of course you spared no effort in propaganda revolution!"
"Sir!" Jérôme, faced with the issue of Bonaparte's honor, had a very solemn expression. He flicked the dust off his jacket and said in a serious tone: "The Bonaparte family has never been a beneficiary of the revolution! The Bonaparte family's The glory never comes from an ancient surname, but from all the French people.
The Bonaparte family was chosen by the French people to be their representatives. When France no longer needs Bonaparte, the French people will make France withdraw from the stage! The revolution may bring about disorderly riots, but the riots will not last long! A new government will emerge! Be it a republic or an empire, they are just products to maintain order! Furthermore, France is not a nation that can only riot. Revolutions will always have highs and lows. The Bonaparte family is not a radical family either. We also long for a group..."
While promoting his revolutionary conservative theory, Jérôme carefully observed Dr. James's expression.
Dr. James was a little resistant to Jerome's answer at first, but when Jerome talked about maintaining the existing order and system and making appropriate reforms, Dr. James's expression gradually agreed.
Hope everything goes well!
Jérôme thought silently in his mind.
"Okay! Your Excellency, I'm just a doctor, and I'm not interested in political topics!" Dr. James, who still had something to say, said something against his will to Jérôme.
"Sorry doctor!" Jérôme responded with the same pretense of apology: "I am a person who always talks endlessly when it comes to politics!"
"Huh?" Dr. James's eyes flashed, and he still asked casually: "Your Excellency, I heard that France is holding a general election! I don't know if you will go to participate!"
"Of course!" Jérôme nodded without hesitation, and then added: "Not just me, the entire Bonaparte family will attend!"
"Do you want to return to France?" Dr. James' tone was a little hasty. He seemed a little too concerned about the situation of the Bonaparte family.
"I said that as long as the French people need it, the Bonaparte family can return to the stage at any time!" Jerome responded with a smile.
Then, the conversation changed: "However, the Bonaparte family is unwilling to destroy the order under the existing system! The era of revolution has passed, and the Bonaparte family does not want to take on the task of destroying Europe!"
"You can't..."
Dr. James seemed to want to say something, but Jérôme immediately interrupted Dr. James and reminded: "Doctor, the topic we are discussing has gone beyond the boundaries between doctors and family members! I now suspect that what I am facing is not Not a doctor, but a British bureaucrat!”
Only then did Dr. James realize that he seemed to have overstepped his bounds. He smiled and turned around and entered the room.
Jérôme, who stayed where he was, muttered softly: "I wonder if these words will reach Buckingham Palace. It's really exciting!"
In the room, Dr. James told Louis Bonaparte and Miss Howard about intravenous injections and the physical condition of Napoleon III.
"You mean Louis, his body can't support it for much longer?"
Although Howard already had the answer in her heart, she still couldn't help crying when the doctor issued the death verdict.
"Yes!" Dr. James said regretfully: "The prince's disease was discovered too late. Now all we can do is to extend the prince's life as much as possible! Although the intravenous injection method is somewhat dangerous, it may make the prince You can hold on longer!"
"Risk your life just to keep Louis alive longer! I don't agree?" Howard rejected Dr. James's suggestion.
Dr. James turned his attention to Jerome, and he hoped that Jerome could convince Howard!
"Doctor, I agree with your plan!" Louis Bonaparte's weak voice came from the hospital bed!
"No, Louis, that's too dangerous!" Howard grabbed Louis' hand and responded: "Can't lose you!"
"Howard, it's nothing!" Napoleon III comforted in a hoarse voice: "I have been in the hail of bullets in Italy, and this danger is nothing to me!" [Note 2]
The critically ill Louis Bonaparte seemed to have regained his former glory, and an indescribable confidence and calmness burst out of his body.
At the request of Louis Bonaparte, Howard agreed to the intravenous treatment plan.
PS: 1. The failure of the Irish potato harvest in 1847 triggered fluctuations in the British stock exchange market. The promoted railway bubble was ruthlessly crushed along with the fluctuations and spread throughout Europe. Under the double blow of the economic downturn and the potato crisis, the people of Paris launched a massive revolution.
2. In 1831, Napoleon III and his brother participated in the anti-Pope uprising in Rome. In the end, the two brothers did not fully participate in the uprising because of the attitude of the rebel leaders towards Austria and France.
