Facing the questioning eyes of everyone, the soldier-born Cafenak was not intimidated.
"After the coup, power will be concentrated in Jerome Bonaparte's Elysee Palace, and I have deeply experienced this!" Cafenak said confidently, "They wouldn't want to concentrate power in that Italian boy's hands!"
"General Cafenak, do you mean that their military maneuver at this time is not intended for a coup?" Lamartine, feeling relieved inside, asked again.
Lamartine, who also served as a governor of the Republic, compared to Cafenak, was like a rookie entering the political arena.
"The purpose of their military parade is to demonstrate to us!" Bastide, who also served as Foreign Minister, sharply pointed out the root of the problem: "The purpose of publicly reporting the military parade is also to disrupt our army!"
"Then how should we respond?" Lamartine continued to ask Cafenak.
Bastide and Cafenak looked at each other, Bastide spread his hands helplessly and said, "There is no way!"
