Make France Great Again

January 29, 1849.

France always has long nights and short days in January, and the sky at six o’clock is still dotted with stars. The gray-black sky and howling cold wind shroud the entire sky of Paris, making you feel an inexplicable depression and shivering, like extremely Paris today.

The study of the Elysee Palace under the gray-black sky was uncharacteristically lit up. Through the candlelight in the study, one could vaguely see a figure appearing at the window of the study. He was Jerome Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte, wearing a Napoleon three-cornered hat, wearing a blue and black Lev dress, wearing a Legion of Glory medal on his chest, and a pair of leather boots, is standing by the window staring at the sky that is about to be white in the distance, and then uses From the corner of the eye, he glanced at the gold-plated pendulum sitting next to him.

There are still more than four hours until the military parade begins. This is the earliest time Jérôme Bonaparte has woken up since he became president. It is also the first military parade in Jerome Bonaparte's career as president. ceremony.

Deep down in every man's heart, he always hopes to become a general who can command thousands of troops. Of course, Jerome Bonaparte is no exception. Jerome Bonaparte, who couldn't bear the excitement in his heart, was early yesterday morning He just lay on the bed and slept, afraid that he would miss the military parade the next day, but lying on the bed, he didn't feel sleepy at all, and all he could think about was how he would command them to defeat the enemy in the future, until 2 am on the 29th Jerome Bonaparte, who had just fallen asleep with a strong hint in his heart, only slept for 3 hours and 30 minutes before being woken up by the biological clock.

After waking up, he carefully put on the clothes he had prepared the day before and went to the study alone holding a candlestick with four candles, waiting for the military parade to begin.

He came to the study carefully and did not disturb anyone in the Elysee Palace. Even the four soldiers who were in charge of patrolling and defending the Elysee Palace at night did not find out until the study room was lit.

Jerome Bonaparte in the study paced back and forth with his head bowed, coming to the mirror from time to time to adjust his military uniform, or adjust his Napoleon three-cornered hat on his head.

In short, President Jerome Bonaparte was very anxious.

As time passed, the stars quietly disappeared, the sky was no longer gray and black, the scorching sun rose slowly from the horizon, and the howling cold wind gradually weakened with the arrival of dawn.

The time came to 7:30, and Pessini, who got up early in the morning, yawned and went to the presidential bedroom to wake up Jerome Bonaparte.

Since Colonel Fleury, Chief of Police, was assigned by Jérôme Bonaparte to the National Guard Staff as a colonel, the job of waking Jerome Bonaparte was handed over to Persini.

Pessini, who entered the president's bedroom, did not find Jerome Bonaparte's figure. He was exhausted and refreshed instantly.

It stands to reason that His Majesty should be sleeping in the bedroom at this moment! How could it suddenly disappear!

The "disappearance" of the president made Pessini flustered, and he ran out of the bedroom in a panic to tell them about the disappearance of the president.

At this moment, the door of the study opened slowly, and Jerome Bonaparte came out of the study.

"Your Majesty, you..." Pessini stared at Jerome Bonaparte, who had already been dressed in front of him, with wide-eyed surprise.

"What's wrong! Secretary-General Pessini!" Jerome Bonaparte looked at Pessini in surprise, then glanced at his clothes and asked curiously: "Is there anything dirty on my clothes? "

"No! No!" Persini, who came back to his senses, flatly denied, "I just feel... feel..."

Pescini struggled with what words to use that would not offend the president but still explain.

"I think my schedule is a bit abnormal!" Jerome Bonaparte said what Pessini was unwilling to say, and then explained: "It's the first military parade, it's inevitable that I will be a little excited!"

"Yeah!" Pescini nodded in understanding.

At 8:30 in the morning, a troop of cavalry wearing brown-red horses came to the gate of the Elysee Palace. Residents coming and going on the street looked at the clothes of these soldiers in surprise. Some elderly residents had three points of pride in their eyes. They were seven times moved. Wearing the uniforms of the Green Dragoons of the First Empire and the high military caps with feather collars on their heads, they seemed to have returned to France after more than 30 years, and the Empire seemed to be back.

As the leader of the cavalry, Colonel Fleury of the National Guard Staff and his deputy, Edgar Ney, both wore red dragoon uniforms, with a command knife tied to their thighs, resembling the cavalry under the emperor's command. officer.

The team stopped in front of the residence of the Elysee Palace, and Fleury, who was the temporary commander of the army, straightened his chest and gave an order like a bell: "Dismount!"

All the dragoons got off their horses neatly, and they led the horses and stood on the left and right sides of the entrance of the Elysee Palace. A gilt open double-bridge carriage with a golden bee pattern logo, and white gauze curtains as thin as cicada wings were gilded The hooks are hung on both sides of the window, so that people can see the construction inside at a glance. The double-bridge carriage is driven by the driver slowly into the road paved with cement, enters the courtyard of the Elysee Palace, and stops at the Elysee Palace. the main entrance.

Inside the Elysee Palace.

"Your Majesty, it's time for us to get in the car!" Pessini said to Jerome Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte, who was originally excited about riding a horse, lost his interest in an instant, and his face looked a little gloomy: "Secretary General Pessini, can't I ride a horse by myself?"

"Your Majesty, I heard that there are many rebels in the carriage city! We must prioritize your safety!" Pesini explained to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Are you kidding me!" Jerome Bonaparte laughed angrily. He pointed to the carriage parked outside the door and said emphatically, "A few shady mice make you so frightened! The marshal and general under my uncle's command back then There is no one like you!"

Jerome Bonaparte, who did not want to impress the army as "divorced from the masses", resolutely refused to ride in a double-bridge carriage.

Persini, who couldn't resist Jerome Bonaparte's attitude, could only take a step back and let Jerome Bonaparte ride the horse. The premise was that Jerome Bonaparte must be in the protective circle of the dragoons until the official military parade start.

Jerome Bonaparte agreed to Persini's conditions. Under Persini's deployment, Tai Lan led a white horse and a brown-red war horse to the main entrance of the Elysee Palace. The horses were equipped with brand-new harness.

Jerome Bonaparte and Persini got on their horses, and walked in front with Jerome Bonaparte's white horse on their backs, and Persini walked behind.

The courtyard surrounding the Elysee Palace came to the gate of the Elysee Palace.

Fleury and Edgar Ney were anxiously waiting for Jerome Bonaparte's arrival.

It was already 8:30, and there was still an hour before the start time.
