Faced with Odilon Barro's almost commanding tone of command to Jérôme Bonaparte, Jérôme Bonaparte did not feel a trace of anger in his heart, but instead had a hint of joy.
The struggle between Odilon Barro and the National Assembly was a link in Jérôme Bonaparte's plan. The current situation is obviously that Odilon Barrow is in a disadvantageous position, otherwise, he would not be eager to seek his help.
Furthermore, even if Jérôme Bonaparte did not have any attitude, the veteran standing next to him obviously couldn't bear the "humiliation" of Barrow to the emperor's nephew. The trembling veteran said with full of ferocity Looking at Odilon Barrow, he threw the blue flat-top hat that should have been on his head at Odilon Barrow's feet. He shouted sternly: "Mr. Barrow, stand in front of you. He is the emperor’s nephew!”
Immediately, the veteran's stooped body straightened slightly, and Jérôme Bonaparte with a solemn expression asked for orders: "Your Majesty, please allow me to have a duel with Mr. Barrow. I will never allow him to treat you with such an attitude!"
Odilon Barro, who was still in an aggressive posture just now, was instantly frightened by the sudden duel from the veterans, so that he didn't know how to respond for a while. He had to turn his attention to Jerome Bonaparte, hoping that he could help him rescue himself. .
Seeing that the dignified prime minister was forced to leave Taiwan by a veteran, Jérôme Bonaparte could not wait to cheer for this veteran.
After all the fun, Jérôme Bonaparte still helped Odilon Barro to rescue him. He bent down and picked up the flat-topped hat that the veteran had discarded on the ground. He also dusted off the hat and handed it to the veteran. Said: "Soldier, I am happy for your loyalty, but the military cap is a symbol of a soldier and cannot be discarded on the ground casually!"
"The Bourbon dynasty's military cap is only worthy of me throwing it on the ground!" the veteran said in a contemptuous tone, and then turned to a pleading attitude: "Your Highness, since the empire left us, this unfortunate country has experienced two Unfortunate dynasty! They are simply trampling on the glory of this country. Only if you re-establish an empire can we get rid of the current predicament and regain our honor!"
The veteran's heartfelt plea made Jérôme Bonaparte once wonder if the guy in front of him was a trap brought by Pesini. Looking at the veteran's sincere eyes, Jérôme Bonaparte ruled out this possibility.
Before the time came, Jérôme Bonaparte could only respond vaguely: "The times are changing, and we should not follow the rules! As long as I can serve France, I will be satisfied!"
A trace of loneliness flashed through the eyes of the veteran. He recalled the days when he followed the emperor in the war. His upright body seemed to have been drained of all energy and became rickety again.
"Of course! If the citizens of France can support us as they did before, then the reconstruction of the empire is not impossible!" Jerome Bonaparte tried to comfort the veterans.
"I believe the empire will be rebuilt!" The veteran straightened his body again and responded with a loud voice.
Standing aside, Odilon Barro listened intently to the conversation between Jérôme Bonaparte and the veterans. He didn't know whether the President really wanted to rebuild the empire or comfort the veterans.
However, these have nothing to do with him.
Odilon Barrow, who had been in politics for more than ten years during the July Dynasty, disagreed, and he also did not oppose the establishment of the empire.
As long as the president can convince others.
However, Barrow was convinced that the President's chances of persuading others to establish an empire were almost zero.
"Your Highness, let me show you the Emperor's office!" the veteran said enthusiastically to Jerome Bonaparte.
"Mr. Prime Minister, why don't we talk about it after the visit? There is plenty of time anyway." Jérôme Bonaparte suggested to Odilon Barro.
Odilon Barro, who could not defeat Jerome Bonaparte, followed Jerome Bonaparte to the office of the chief executive.
A glass chandelier hangs from the ceiling of the office. Directly below the chandelier is a walnut desk. On the desk are a pen holder made of nanmu and a book with a yellowed surface. There are several goose feather pens dipped in water in the pen holder.
Opposite the desk is a bookshelf made of grained mahogany. The bookshelf is close to the wall and is also filled with books.
The entire office looked spotless and looked like new.
"It seems that you often clean up here." Jérôme Bonaparte said to the veteran.
"That's right! I personally clean the emperor's office regularly!" The veteran looked at the desk with pious eyes and said with a hint of fanaticism in his tone.
"Well! Thank you for your hard work!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded and took three steps at a time to come to the desk.
The book placed on the desk is "The Gallic War", which was Emperor Napoleon's favorite book at that time.
"Everything is arranged according to the wishes of Her Majesty the Queen Josephine! Her Majesty the Queen said back then, it must be like..." As he said, the veteran's voice was a little choked: "It must be like what it was like when His Majesty the Emperor was here. His Majesty the Emperor promised, He will come back sooner or later!"
Jérôme Bonaparte was silent for a long time, and he said with a smile: "The emperor is not here, but the emperor's nephew is here!"
With that said, Jerome Bonaparte sat on the chair once made by his uncle Napoleon.
"It's good to be here! It's good to be here!" The veteran muttered, his face full of relief.
"Cough...cough" Jérôme Bonaparte, who was sitting on the chair, cleared his throat and motioned to Pesini.
After receiving Jerome Bonaparte's signal, Pesini took the old man out of the office and closed the door of the office thoughtfully.
"Do it! Mr. Prime Minister!" Jérôme Bonaparte stretched out his hand and motioned for Odilon Barro to sit down.
Perhaps because of psychological suggestion, Odilon Barro seemed to "see" the emperor again. He who should have been negotiating with Jerome Bonaparte in a competitive posture actually felt "inferior".
Odilon Barro, who was sitting opposite Jerome Bonaparte, had his hands clenched on his thighs, as if waiting for Jerome Bonaparte to lecture him.
"Okay! Mr. Barrow, let's talk about your request!" Jérôme Bonaparte pressed his body against the back of the chair, raised his head slightly, and clasped his hands on his right leg. .
"Mr. President, I think we should take action! Teach those guys a lesson! They have seriously interfered with the established policy of the cabinet!" Odilon Barrow's tone lived up to his aggressive tone and turned into a pleading attitude. .
"We? Do you mean you and me, or the Party of Order and me!" Jerome Bonaparte said lazily.
"Of course..." Barrow paused.
