"Congratulations! Prime Minister Barro!"
Thiers smiled and congratulated Audion Barrot, not surprised by this outcome at all, as everything had been arranged beforehand.
"Thank you! Thank you!" Audion Barrot excitedly shook Thiers' hand to express his gratitude.
"Don't forget, we stand on the same side!" Mr. Thiers reminded, fearing that the new Prime Minister before him might do something foolish due to his inclination toward the Left Wing.
As for why Thiers didn't want to be Prime Minister, it was because Thiers didn't want to expose himself to the public so soon.
Everything Thiers did was in preparation for his presidential election in 1852; he wanted to disappear for four years, let France get to know him again, and then become France's second president through indirect parliamentary election.
During this period, he would still occasionally pay attention to Barrot's actions to prevent any accidents.
