Make France Great Again-Chapter 950 - 941: Regicide and the Chain Plot

Under the alternating provocation of two Piedmontese radicals, Orsini couldn’t help but stand up and point at them, shouting loudly, "You don’t need to use these words to agitate me!

When I was resisting the tyrant’s dispatched army and defending the independence of the Roman Republic, you didn’t even know where you were!

From that moment on, I have already resolved to dedicate everything, even my life, to the cause of Italian unification and republicanism!"

Facing Orsini’s passionate words, the two Piedmontese who had originally criticized Orsini for not being radical enough showed signs of shame on their faces and quickly apologized for their previous remarks.

Orsini accepted the apology from the two Piedmontese and his expression returned to the previous kindness, he hurriedly expressed understanding to the three Piedmontese, "I understand your desire for Italian unification, but this matter cannot be rushed!

We don’t even know what carriage the tyrant usually uses, or which route he takes, so how can we ensure that he is accurately targeted and killed!

Please remember, each of us only has one life, and it must be used at the most critical moment.

Any reckless behavior will only make our assassination more difficult."

After listening to Orsini’s "long speech," the three Piedmontese became more convinced of Orsini.

Although they can sacrifice their lives for the cause of Italian unification, their sacrifice must be meaningful.

"Orsini, what do you suggest we do? We all listen to you!" The three Piedmontese responded to Orsini in unison.

"I think we should advance..." Just as Orsini was giving a long speech, a knock on the door sounded.

The three Piedmontese and Orsini were all startled by the knocking, and among them, two Piedmontese had already placed their hands on the flintlock pistols at their waists.

Orsini made a silencing gesture, then cautiously moved to the doorway and said, "Who?"

A deep voice came from outside the room, "I am Bernard’s man, here to assist you!"

Upon hearing Bernard’s name, Orsini’s tense expression relaxed again, and he gestured with his hand for the two Piedmontese to lower their guns.

Then, he opened the door and observed the somewhat youthful-looking fellow in front of him, deciding to test him, "You’re Bernard’s man, I’ve never heard Bernard mention you!"

The visitor responded gravely to Orsini, "That’s because I joined as a newcomer after Bernard was driven out of France by the hateful tyrant!

It’s entirely normal that Bernard didn’t mention me in front of you!"

"What evidence do you have to prove that you and Bernard are together?

I have reason to suspect you are from the Ministry of Internal Affairs!" Orsini eyed the man sharply, speaking in a severe tone.

The three Piedmontese behind Orsini also gradually became solemn, once again placing their hands at their waists, ready to deal with this unknown man if things took a wrong turn.

"If I were from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you would already be in prison!" The visitor, noticing the Piedmontese’s hands, managed to remain unfazed, and said to Orsini, "Trust me, the nose of the French police is sharper than you think!"

"Perhaps you are one of them!" Orsini remarked, "Your purpose is to dig us all out, isn’t it!!"

"Don’t joke! Bernard already told us there are only 4 of you, there simply can’t be any others!" The visitor said disdainfully to Orsini.

Upon hearing this, Orsini’s wariness gradually lowered.

Judging from the visitor’s information, he indeed does not seem to be from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The dogs from the French Ministry of Internal Affairs couldn’t have gathered all their information without already having them netted.

"You really are one of Bernard’s men!" Orsini’s face cracked into a smile, and he quickly invited the guest inside. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Soon after, Orsini inquired about the visitor’s purpose.

The guest, seated on the sofa, asked Orsini seriously, "Mr. Orsini, may I ask you a question, do you have the courage to sacrifice everything for Italian unification!"

"When I set foot on this land, I had already resolved to devote everything, even my life, to the republican cause!" Orsini replied firmly to the guest.

The remaining three Piedmontese also responded in unison, "We, like Mr. Orsini, are willing to give our lives for the republican cause!"

Looking at these four warriors ready to face death, the guest nodded with satisfaction and said to Orsini, "With the courage of you four, Italy will surely unify!"

"In the Italian Region, there are more than just the four of us with the courage to assassinate the Tyrant!" Orsini replied to the guest.

"Since all of you are willing to sacrifice for the Republican cause, I won’t hold back any longer!" The guest nodded and began sharing what he knew about the Emperor’s movements with them, "Emperor Jerome Bonaparte (the guest paused briefly before correcting himself)... No, it’s that Tyrant who will attend the opening of the ’Workers’ House’ with his wife this morning. In the afternoon, he will visit the Welfare Institute and Charitable Hospital with his wife to see patients and orphans, and incidentally, to raise donations for them..."

Orsini was greatly shocked by the actions of the Tyrant and his wife.

In his mind, the Tyrant and his wife should be sitting in the Tuileries Palace, draining the people’s lifeblood.

Donation and attending the opening ceremony of the ’Workers’ House’ seems rather out of character for a Monarch.

"What’s wrong?" The guest noticed Orsini’s distraction and hurriedly asked.

Regaining his composure, Orsini shook his head and replied to the guest, "It’s nothing! I’m just surprised that the Tyrant, who suppressed the Republic (referring to the Roman Republic), is so charitable!"

"It’s just a tactic to win hearts with petty kindness!" The guest dismissively replied to Orsini.

"That’s right!" A Piedmontese nodded and said, "The reactionary Monarchs only use such lowly tricks to buy people’s hearts!"

"When do you think we should act?" Orsini asked the guest again, now fully trusting the guest.

"My suggestion is that you should act at night!" The guest gave Orsini his advice and then explained, "Firstly, the Tyrant and his wife will go to the Paris Opera House at night. When they leave the Opera House, it will definitely be a time when the Guard Army is lax. You can take the opportunity to act, thereby increasing the chances of success!

Secondly, acting at dusk will allow you to take advantage of the chaos to retreat!"

"We are already prepared for sacrifice! For the unification of Italy and the Republican cause, we are willing to sacrifice!" Orsini said to the guest.

"Willing to sacrifice doesn’t mean one must sacrifice!" The guest sternly said to Orsini, "If possible, I hope you live to see the dawn of the Republic rise in France!"

Orsini, after listening to the guest’s ’heartfelt’ speech, excitedly gripped his hand and asked, "Thank you for your concern! May I know your name!"

"I am Felix..." The guest paused briefly before continuing, "I am Felix Yale!"

"Felix Yale!" Orsini softly repeated, then solemnly said to the guest, "I will remember! I will act as quickly as possible!"

"I hope you succeed!" Felix Yale said as he stood up, "I should be going now!"

"So soon!" Orsini wanted to keep Felix Yale.

"I have been under surveillance by the Tyrant’s spies, taking this time to meet with you already poses a great risk! I must leave quickly!" Felix Yale shook Borsini’s hand and emotionally said, "You must succeed! The hopes of Italian and French Republicanism rest on you!"

"Don’t worry! We certainly will succeed!" Orsini said with equal excitement.

After that, Orsini escorted Felix Yale to the door, watching him go down the stairs.

Then, he turned to instruct a Piedmontese.

The Piedmontese followed closely behind and also went downstairs.

More than 10 minutes later, the Piedmontese returned and said to Orsini, "Indeed, France’s spies are monitoring that guy!"

"Did they notice us?" Another Piedmontese excitedly asked.

"No!" The Piedmontese answered, "They probably haven’t noticed us yet!"

"We must act quickly!" Orsini said firmly, "If that Felix Yale gentleman is captured, our situation will also become complicated!"

"When do we act?" The three Piedmontese looked at Orsini simultaneously, one of them asked.

"Tonight!" Orsini said resolutely, "Tonight is the day when the French Tyrant will fall, and the foundation for the Republic will be laid!"

With Orsini’s command, the three Piedmontese began to get busy, one of them was sent by Orsini to scout.

The remaining two Piedmontese joined Orsini in preparing the bombs for the assassination.

However, Orsini was unaware that this so-called Felix Yale was just a fictional persona to lure them into assassination, and his real name was Felix Godan.
