WI: Georges Ernest Boulanger leads a successful coup against the French government

In your opinion, what would have been the short- and medium-term consequences if Georges Ernest Boulanger and his followers had successfully staged a coup against the government under Prime Minister Charles Floquet on 27 January 1889? In OTL, Boulanger procrastinated for too long and let the opportunity pass - and in the aftermath, he was discredited by his opponents until he committed suicide in exile in 1891.

My main questions are:
- What would have happened to the French Third Republic herself?
- How long do you think would he have waited until starting/provoking a war against Germany?
- What would have been the reactions of the other European powers to such a coup?

As I understand it, Boulanger had a lot of support from monarchists, despite being a radical leftist himself. Once he gains power, he has to consolidate before he can do anything (which shouldn't be too hard, as he had the support of many working class Frenchmen).

However, once he had consolidated power, his own backers in the monarchists would almost certainly turn on him, leaving him with the potential of a power struggle in the government (best case) or a monarchist backed revolt (worst case). Only if he can overcome these obstacles can Boulanger then make any kind of threat against Germany, which again would be difficult in itself as Germany at that point in time was far stronger than France (especially a France which had just endured a coup against the government).
 
Boulanger was also very much the sort of loose cannon whom foreign powers simply did not trust very much; it's far from impossible that he could alienate Britain with his policies.
 
Might I point out that EdT has this very scenario play out in "Fight and be Right", granted Boulanger's coup is just one of many focuses of the timeline.
