175 Napoleon III

In 1851, the focus of the world was on Constantinople and Paris. The five-party talks in the first half of the year attracted everyone's attention, and in the second half of the year everyone watched the Louis-Napoleon-Bonaparte performance.

After the coup in Paris, Louis Napoleon Bonaparte did not stop, but accelerated the restoration.

On August 2, 1851, a referendum was held in France. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte obtained the right to amend the constitution and the coup was legalized.

On September 26, 1851, he ordered the national flag to be changed to the eagle emblem to symbolize the Napoleonic Empire and sounded the restoration horn.

On October 3, Louis Napoleon Bonaparte ordered the slogans of the French Revolution: freedom, equality, fraternity and other slogans to be removed from all buildings.

On October 15, Louis Napoleon Bonaparte amended the constitution to change the term of the president to a tenure of life, and unlimitedly expand the rights of the president.

In history, Yuan Datou learned from him, but his ability was poor, and his methods were a little worse ...

In November, Louis-Napoleon-Bonaparte went on a national parade, went deep into folk speeches and gathered the hearts of the people, and at the same time did not forget to play the uncle's tragic card to publicly promote the idea of ​​imperialism.

Facts have proved to be very effective. Even after more than thirty years have passed, Napoleon's status among the French people has not been shaken.

In this era, the mainstream of the world is still the monarchy. As the French people of the Republic, they also feel lonely and lonely.

Soon there was a hot topic in France-monarchy, and newspapers controlled by Louis-Napoleon-Ponapartis also began to wave their flags.

While public opinion was gaining momentum, Louis Napoleon Bonaparte did not forget to spend money everywhere to buy military hearts.

He was very skillful in buying up the army, such as inviting some officers to participate in a rally speech, so that they could hear the people shouting "Long live the emperor", creating a kind of popular feeling.

After a first-hand experience, the ass of these officers approached him unconsciously.

In this respect, the French army is commendable. They chose to respect public opinion and avoid the outbreak of civil war.

While building up his own momentum, Louis-Napoleon-Bonaparte will naturally forget to hit his opponents, for example: hacking competitors, using his rights ... (10 thousand words omitted)

After everything was prepared, on December 21, 1851, Louis Napoleon Bonaparte announced on behalf of the French Parliament: a referendum on the political system.

I have to say that this wave of operation is very slippery.Everyone who knows France is clear, not to mention that, even after World War I, there are more people who support imperialism than those who support the Republic.

The reason why the republican government appeared in France was that the three royalists were mutually restrained, and no one would obey anyone. In the end, there was no way to beat the three.

Against this background, the imperial system won with 7.899 million votes, while less than 250,000 votes for the Republic.

Since it is an imperial system, there is naturally an emperor.The Orleans, Bourbon and Napoleon families stand out.

The Orleans family was the first to get out of the game. They were ousted and their reputation was the lowest. The Bourbon family has an orthodox advantage and is Louis-Napoleon-Bonaparte ’s biggest competitor.

But it doesn't matter. After the public opinion was overwhelmed, Louis Napoleon Bonaparte directly occupied the throne, and there was no intention to negotiate at all.

At this time, the Bourbon family was not ready and had not waited for their reaction.On January 1, 1852, Louis Napoleon Bonaparte became emperor in Paris, and the era of Napoleon III came.

After a fight, the French people were tired of fighting inside, and now the minds of the people are determined.Having created the established facts, the Bourbon family could only recognize it by holding their noses.

Because in the process of seizing the throne, some obscure means were used to forcibly take the upper position, and the empire of Napoleon III laid a hidden danger from the beginning.

Looking at the actions of Napoleon III in the process of seizing power, Franz said that he admired it very much, even if he changed himself, he did not think he could do better.

You know that in name, France has three royal families. In fact, the strength of the Napoleon family is the weakest, and unlike the other two, they have to be regarded as explosives.

The Orleans dynasty was supported by financial groups, the Bourbon dynasty was supported by nobles and capitalists, and the supporters of the Napoleon family were farmers.

In theory, they have the largest number of supporters and have advantages.In fact, on the contrary, most of their supporters are from the bottom of society, and their political voice is almost zero.

This can be seen from the restoration of Napoleon III, which also requires the support of the British.If the other two are changed, some people will pay for it.

There is no way, who will let them make a fortune late?If it was n’t for Napoleon, it ’s a joke to say that they are the French royal family.

Even with Napoleon's awesome uncle, Napoleon III is also not competitive, and it would be almost the same if he changed to Napoleon II.

It's a pity that Napoleon II died, Europe is based on blood, Napoleon III is obviously not qualified, even he is not a French.

(Napoleon III joined Swiss citizenship in 1832)

If his political opponent is a bit smarter, he will be eliminated during the presidential election, and a foreigner will be the president. It is estimated that the proud French people are not so open.

Napoleon III's ability to win the final victory is certainly related to his opponent's absence during this period, but his ability to show up cannot be ignored.

Along the way, he almost danced on the wire.If you make a mistake, you will fall apart.

Especially using the contradictions between various groups, let everyone acquiesce in his claim to emperor, it is simply the pinnacle of power operation.

According to the information in his hand, Franz reached a conclusion: Napoleon III is not the most ideal choice for all parties, but it is an option that everyone can accept.

After being taught a lesson by Napoleon III, Franz involuntarily introspected himself. He found his weakness was too much attention to morality.

Of course, Franz is not going to change.As the emperor of the Habsburg dynasty, his throne can not be more orthodox, and there is no need to engage in those evil ways.

As for domestic political opponents?It's not that Franz boasted, and they could rub them against the ground with one hand.

Compared with the French opposition, the Austrian opposition has a weaker combat effectiveness.How can Firefly compete with Haoyue?

Metternich smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Napoleon III has been restored, and now is in need of international recognition, this is an opportunity."

If Napoleon III ascended to the throne by normal means, naturally there is no need to worry about this issue.Unfortunately, his throne is inherently inadequate, and there are too many places under criticism. At this time, the recognition of the international community is very important.

Not to mention, the great European nobles were basically absent from the ceremony of Napoleon III.It looks huge, but the actual specifications are much lower.

Even if the British support him, the British royal family also did not send heavyweights to attend. The indifferent attitude of the aristocratic circle shows the problem.

Franz said indifferently: "Let's try it out. The Fao Mito is over. It is not bad to sign a friendly agreement between the two countries now."

If the interests are not significant, Napoleon III may make some concessions in order to obtain diplomatic recognition from Austria.

It is a pity that there is no such right exchange of interests between Austria and France.Austria also has its own plans, and even so Franz does n’t mind selling a small favor.

Felix said happily: "Your Majesty, Napoleon III has just been restored. Even for the sake of the emperor's face, he will not be able to back down on the issue of the Holy Land. It seems that the Russians will be in trouble."

Russia and Austria are allies, which does not mean that Austria wants to see the Russians continue to grow stronger.

Only when the strength gap is not large can everyone become an ally.Once the gap is opened, it becomes the relationship between the younger brother and the boss.

Austria is naturally not prepared to be a Russian brother. While developing itself, everyone also hopes that the Russian strategy will be frustrated.

If the Russians annexed the Ottoman Empire, the honeymoon period of the two countries would be over.Between countries, it is more reliable to speak in terms of strength and interests.

An important factor in the outbreak of the Crimean War in history is that Napoleon III had just succeeded to the throne, in order to transfer domestic conflicts and establish prestige.

Now the time for the restoration of Napoleon III is advanced, but this demand has not changed, and the final result will naturally not change.

Franz thought for a while and said: "Then give them a fire, but be careful not to burn us, this drama will continue.

If Britain and France were to know our true purpose, I am afraid the situation would be beyond control.At a critical moment, the Russians will definitely reveal the Russian-Austrian secret contract.

We must prepare for diplomacy. At the critical moment, we must let Britain and France know that even if Russia and Austria are allied, Austria will only be neutral in the Russo-Turkish War and support them diplomatically at most!"

This is not a joke. If Austria is determined to go forward and retreat with the Russians, they may be scared away.In the Near East, Russia and Austria are invincible, and they are not afraid of any challenges.

If they don't take a pill for Britain and France, how could they go to the Russian expedition to attack the Russians?Without the Russians holding back their energy, how could Austria have the opportunity to cover the dark?

Austria is using the Russians, why are the Russians using Austria?As long as Austria moves, the energy of Britain and France will also disperse a part of the past, reducing their pressure on the battlefield.

Moreover, if the Russians wanted to annex the Ottoman Empire, Austrian material support was indispensable. With their own industrial capabilities, they could not support a modern war.

From the beginning, this was the cooperation that required each to take care of each other.
