Under the "strong recommendation" of the old Prince Jérôme, Police Chief Maxime Decamp "happily" accepted the suggestion of the old Prince Jérôme.
Railway Police Commissioner Marcel Jerug, who was originally marginalized in the Police Department, was immediately appointed by Maxime Dekan as the Acting Director of the Counter-Revolutionary Investigation Department. This newly established Investigation Department will assume the responsibilities that the Railway Police Commissioner should have borne. Become the secret police spying on Paris.
Although the newly established Counterrevolutionary Investigation Bureau is only an inconspicuous force for Paris at this stage, it is parasitic on the police department and has steadily expanded with the expansion of Jérôme Bonaparte's power.
As for why it was called a purge of counterrevolutionaries, of course it was a bad idea of President Jérôme Bonaparte.
After solving the problem of Marcel Jerug's establishment, the old Prince Jérôme got into the carriage and left, accompanied by Maxime Dekan.
Looking at the back of the carriage leaving, Maxime Dekan's expression changed from sunny to gloomy. Now he had to solve the problem raised by the old Prince Jérôme.
The old Prince Jerome, who was sitting in the carriage, rubbed the scepter in his hand and looked at the scenery outside the window, feeling a little emotional in his heart.
After more than 30 years, the Bonaparte family finally became the rulers of France again.
More importantly, this ruler is still his own son.
In a daze, Jérôme Bonaparte's consciousness seemed to have returned to the era of the First Empire. At the request of the emperor, he had to divorce his wife and marry someone he didn't like very much. From then on, he began to Against his brother, he wanted to win against his brother, but he lost miserably every time. Until she gave birth to Jerome Joseph Bonaparte and Mathilde.
"Brother, I finally beat you once!" Old Prince Jérôme murmured to himself.
The carriage soon arrived at the Rhine Hotel, and old Prince Jerome walked upstairs with slow and steady steps.
At the staircase on the second floor, Old Jérôme heard Jérôme Bonaparte's voice coming from the temporary conference hall: "Fleury, how have you prepared the things I asked you to prepare?"
"Your Highness, I have ordered a set of furniture from Baron Achille Fuld. Mr. Baron assured me that it must be in line with the imperial style. At the same time, I also purchased an idle car from Princess Lijevan. A two-seat carriage with four wheels!" Fleury, the head of the guardroom, reported the recent progress to Jérôme Bonaparte.
Since receiving the news on December 10, Fleury has organized the necessary pomp and etiquette for Jérôme Bonaparte to move into the Elysee Palace. For this reason, he visited the Elysee Palace frequently.
"What about the horses? A carriage without horses is not enough," Jerome Bonaparte asked.
"General Opple told me privately that he still has a few spare horses at home that can be donated to His Highness!" Fleury replied quickly.
"Inappropriate!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded calmly: "We have to pay General Opel according to the original price. There is no need to take advantage of others!"
After saying that, Jerome Bonaparte turned his attention to Pesini next to Fleury and said: "Pesciny, how are the matters inside the Elysée Palace going?"
Pesini quickly replied: "Your Majesty, I have reached an agreement with the people at the Elysee Palace to retain some of the original servants, and then recruit some people!"
"It's up to you, but don't let unknown people get into the Elysee Palace!" Jerome Bonaparte warned again.
"Yes! Your Highness!" Pesini responded quickly.
"Okay! I will leave all the affairs of the Elysee Palace to you two. I hope that after I enter the Elysee Palace, I will see a different Elysee Palace!" Jerome Bonaparte made. Final summary: "Do you have anything else to report to me?"
"Well... Your Highness..." Pesini hesitated and responded in a low voice: "Some time ago, Edgar Ney once expressed his desire to return to Bonaparte's arms!"
"When was it some time ago?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked carefully.
"December 11th!" Pesini responded awkwardly.
"Okay!" Jérôme Bonaparte sneered and said in a sinister tone: "Knowing that we are about to win, you can't wait to join us. It's really the icing on the cake!"
No wonder Jérôme Bonaparte is so evil-minded, and no one who encounters such a guy will have a good temper, not to mention that Jérôme Bonaparte is not a nostalgic person like his cousin Louis Napoleon. .
"Your Highness, Edgar Ney is the son of Marshal Ney!" Pesini reminded in a low voice.
"What happened to the son of Marshal Ney? Can the son of Marshal Ney rise to the top in one step?" Jérôme Bonaparte obviously looked down upon this so-called son of Marshal Ney, who had the aura of being the son of the Marshal of the First Empire. Ney is just a loser, there is no need to waste too much time on him.
"Your Highness, we want to win over the old people of the empire, so..." Pesini tried to dissuade him.
To be fair, he also didn't like Edgar Ney who joined the team to pick peaches, but in order to win over the old people of the empire, they had to win over some old people.
"Then put Edgar Ney in the guard room! If he can't even serve as a guard, then get out as soon as possible! Otherwise, he will humiliate Marshal Ney!" Jérôme Bonaparte placed Edgar Ney in the guard room! Ga. Neyse arrived at the guard room.
"And Mr. Morny! He is also showing his kindness to us!" Major Fleury also carefully mentioned a person's name.
"Morny..." Jerome Bonaparte murmured to himself. Jerome Bonaparte didn't know whether he should accept this guy who was the half-brother of his cousin Louis Napoleon.
History has proven that Morny is indeed capable, but compared to his ability, his loyalty has to be discounted.
Morny even contradicted his own cousin, let alone himself.
However, there are currently only a few people in the Bonapartist faction who can be called the pillars. Morny's addition will only be beneficial to the Bonapartist faction.
Jerome Bonaparte, who had been thinking for a long time, responded: "Don't rush to reply to Morny, I have other plans!"
In the words of Pesini and Fleury, the basic personnel of the Elysee Palace were selected.
Pesini and Fleury also left the temporary conference hall, and the old Prince Jérôme followed him into the temporary conference hall and explained the situation at the police department to Jérôme Bonaparte.
"Okay!" Jérôme Bonaparte smiled and nodded.
Now that the police department has finally opened an opening, it will only be a matter of time before it falls.
Only by mastering all the military and paramilitary forces in Paris can he proceed with the next stage of his plan calmly.
On December 19, it started to rain in Paris, shrouded in dark clouds.
In the soft drizzle, National Assembly Speaker Maraster solemnly announced the results of the election: Jérôme Bonaparte became the President of the French Republic with an absolute advantage of nearly 6 million votes.
The next step is to go to the Palais Bourbon to take the oath.
