Napoleon stepped on the British and Prussian military flags, and under the escort of the guards, his head held high and his chest stood up like a proud big rooster. When he walked into the parliamentary hall, all the members of the parliament stood up and applauded him. Of course, some people clapped and whispered: "Isn't this like Caesar entering the Senate?"

"It's a pity that there is not one of us Brucetu." Someone also lowered his voice and said so.

But no matter how some people vent their mouths or hate them in their hearts, the new Caesar has already stepped onto the podium. Unlike Caesar in history, the new Caesar has long made up his mind to enter the Senate, no, as long as they enter the National Assembly, they must bring an army that is enough to suppress the resistance of all members of the entire National Assembly.

Napoleon stepped onto the podium and looked down at the audience, then took out the speech prepared in advance, looked at it twice, and then spoke:

"Sir, today I bring you news of victory, our army, in Italy, in Verdun, in Rhine, in Hanover, in Berlin, in Berlin, in the constant blows of reactionary feudal rulers, and the shameful flags of those invaders are now abandoned by our brave soldiers in the Senate--Oh, it should be the steps of the National Assembly, which is a proof of our great victory.

Our victory forced the feudal princes to admit that France's freedom and independence were more stable than the Alps, and that they were by no means shaking them! In front of our powerful army, those who once spoke wildly about France and threatened to send the so-called "orthodox king" back with bayonets to continue to rule us and exploit us, they even said that they would massacre our people and to slaughter the glorious city of Paris. But what about now? They hung chains around their necks, holding the keys of their city in their hands, bowed to France and confessed their guilt,

Members and gentlemen, we can cheer, because France's freedom and independence have been guaranteed, and the peaceful life that the French people have long been waiting for is coming!”

The members of the parliamentarians, whether they support Napoleon or on the surface, applauded enthusiastically, especially when someone discovered that the Minister of Public Security Fouche also came to attend the meeting and clapped while staring at others with a gloomy eyes, they clapped even more intensely. But then a very serious problem arose, that is, when will this clapping stop? Everyone clapped and looked at the people next to them. In short, everyone made up their minds and never be the first one to stop clapping.

The continued applause even made Napoleon feel a little uncomfortable, and he had to make gestures to stop them from continuing to applause.

After the applause finally calmed down, Napoleon continued:

"Gentlemen, the rebellion in the country and the interference in foreign countries has been put down. This is not the end of the French revolution, but only the beginning of the French revolution, or even the first step of the French revolution.

So, sirs, what is the next step for France?

To answer this question, we must first ask a question: That is, why did our French people want to revolution back then?

I know that some friends want to say, because we need freedom, democracy, equality, etc. These statements are correct, but I want to say, this is not the most fundamental thing, so what is the most fundamental thing?"

Napoleon stopped, looked down at the MPs below, and after a while he replied:

"The most fundamental thing is that the French people want to win a prosperous and happy life! They have the right to have a beautiful and prosperous life, and can no longer be allowed to be trampled by the greedy feudal rulers.

In 1792, just before the arrogant, shameful declaration of the 'bloody purge of Paris', a maid in my family, Aunt Sophie, once complained to us: 'Before the revolution, we had no bread to eat; after the revolution, we still had no bread to eat-that was not the revolution?'

It was this Aunt Sophie who asked such a question, when the Brunswick invaders approached Verdun, resolutely sent her husband and two sons into the Volunteer Army. This was them, in Valme, with fearless courage and overwhelming strength, they defeated the enemy of the revolution, saved France, and saved the revolution. At that time, as an ordinary soldier, I also fought side by side with them in the enemy's artillery fire. This was the most glorious moment in my life.

Since the French people destroyed the Bastille, which symbolized the feudal world in 1789, we have been trapped in the siege of reactionaries at home and abroad. The situation of the revolution is in danger, like a candle in the wind. I don’t know how many times it has happened. But it was the unknown warriors who used to have no bread to eat but still have no bread to eat with their indomitable struggles, their blood and lives, time and time again, at the most critical moment, that saved France and the revolution!

My gentlemen, I am convinced that although their names are unknown, their careers will be immortal!"

The members of the parliament clapped again.

As the applause gradually subsided, Napoleon continued:

"Gentlemen, why are these unsung heroes willing to defend the revolution with their blood and life when there was no bread before the revolution, and no bread after the revolution? This is because they know that there is no bread before the revolution and no bread after the revolution, which is essentially completely different. There is no bread before the revolution because the bread that should belong to the people was plundered by the feudal rulers. There was no bread during the revolution, because we must save money to resist the counterattack of reactionaries at home and abroad, and as long as we defeat them, our people and our descendants can eat bread.

Gentlemen, please thank our people! The people of France are the greatest people and the most reasonable people in the world. They can understand these, understand the temporary difficulties that arise in the revolution, and are willing to endure the pain that ordinary people cannot bear. Therefore, although they have not been able to eat bread for the time being after the revolution, they are still willing to defend the motherland and the revolution with their blood and life.

Gentlemen, the people of France are the greatest heroes of the French Revolution. I suggest that we should stand up and salute them and cheer them - long live the people!"

The MPs quickly stood up and cheered.

"Gentlemen, now the reactionaries at home and abroad have been defeated, and the situation of the revolution is unprecedentedly bright. Now is the time for us to fulfill our commitments made before the revolution to our people.

We have solemnly made such a promise to our people that they will have the right to be free from want and fear, and that they will have a happy, prosperous life. Now is the time for us to fulfill this promise.

If today, nine years after the revolution in 1789, when all the reactionaries have been defeated and can no longer pose a direct threat to France's security, we cannot fulfill our promises and let our people complain, "Isn't that revolution revolution in vain?", then we will not only be unable to explain to the people of France, nor to the people of the world that our revolutionary government is a feudal government, and everyone here is Louis XVI!

Dear gentlemen, I have a feeling that our work will be recorded in the history of mankind, because it points the way for the people of freedom all over the world.

Our revolutionary work has not been completed, the revolutionary movement is still moving forward, and we must continue to work hard. Those foreign feudal princes and our domestic reactionaries are never willing to accept their failure. They will definitely make the final struggle when they feel they have the opportunity. They will also engage in destruction and trouble in various ways. They will attempt to restore the feudal ** in France every day and every day. This is inevitable, and there is no doubt that we must not relax our vigilance.

Our democratic system is a powerful weapon to guarantee the victory of the revolution and oppose the restoration conspiracy of the internal and external enemies. We must firmly grasp this weapon. Internationally, we must unite with all peace and freedom-loving countries and peoples, so that our struggle to protect the victory of the revolution of the people and the struggle to oppose the restoration conspiracy of the internal and external enemies will not be in isolation. As long as we uphold democracy and unite international friends, we will be invincible forever.

Gentlemen, the work of restoring and developing the national economy is before us. There are, and there are many difficulties in front of us, but we are sure that all difficulties will be overcome by the heroic struggle of the whole French people. The French people have extremely rich experience in overcoming difficulties. If we can survive the long and extremely difficult years and defeat the powerful internal and external reactionaries, why can't we build a prosperous country after victory? As long as we are united, as long as we insist on democracy and get rid of the feudal shackles, we can quickly win on the economic front.

Gentlemen, our national defense will be consolidated and foreign interferers will not be allowed to invade our territory again. On the basis of the heroic and tested French army, our armed forces must be preserved and developed. We will not only have a strong army, but also a strong navy.

Let the reactionaries inside and outside tremble in front of us, and let them say that we can't do this or that, the unyielding efforts of the French people will surely achieve their goals steadily.

Long live the people of France!”

Amid the thunderous applause, Napoleon then came up with his long-prepared political reform plan and handed it over to Congress for discussion and deliberation. The Scientific Truth published Napoleon's speech, as well as his political reform and livelihood plans. In this plan, Napoleon promised the whole French people that he would lead the French people to eradicate poverty and deprivation like annihilation of enemy troops.
