Chapter 984： See also the guillotine (1/2)

The biggest characteristic of the French Revolution is its speed. Once an uprising is launched, it either succeeds or fails immediately. There has never been a protracted war.

This time is no exception. As soon as the European countries received the news, the two vigorous revolutions came to an end.

Without any accident, the Parisian revolutionary government, which had long lost its popularity, withdrew from the stage of history, and radicals seized power.

As the leader of this revolution, Danielle is right now and enlightened. He does have a reason to be proud, and has taken control of a country at the age of less than thirty.

”Mr. Danielle, we caught the traitor Robert. When do you think he will be executed?”

The tree fell and the monkey sun scattered. The revolutionary government of Paris collapsed, and politicians who realized the danger were long gone. In this regard, the Revolutionaries are all professional, except for the unfortunate one who has hindsight-Robert.

As a scapegoat for everyone, Robert did one thing during his presidency, which is to go to Vienna to sign an armistice treaty.

Once the treaty came into effect, the political life of the hapless president ended. Robert, who bore the reputation of a traitor and lost his position as president, was naturally indifferent, and he was not even informed.

Not all high-level government officials successfully ran away, and he was left with the unlucky one who realized it later and fell into the hands of the new government.

”Andrew, don't worry. People are in our hands and can't run away.

In any case, Robert was also the president of France, the revolutionary father to overthrow the Bonaparte dynasty, and the necessary respect is required.

Send someone to take care of him first to avoid accidents. After the public trial, he will be sent on the road. ”

Others don't know why Robert, the revolutionary father, suddenly became a traitor, but Danielle, as one of the participants, knew it all.

But knowing that Gui knows that people still have to kill. Summarizing the failed lessons of previous revolutions, Danielle came to the conclusion that the revolution must shed blood.

No bloodshed is not enough for civilians to be angry, and no bloodshed is not enough to shock people. Robert, a big figure with a bad reputation, happens to be the best person to stand up for.

The same is killing, and different killing methods have completely different effects. Killing Robert directly would be refreshing for the radicals, but it was not shocking.

The situation in Paris is very complicated. As the leader of the Second Revolution, Danielle knows exactly what the revolutionary army looks like. If the nobles in the city cannot be deterred, the nascent second revolutionary regime may be subverted at any time.

In fact, the weight of Robert, the former president, is still a little lighter, and the final object of prestige is to pull out a few big nobles and wipe it away.

However, Danielle thinks about this kind of thing at best. Not to mention whether the Russian army stationed outside the city will interfere, the private armies of the light nobles are a hard bone.

If the fight really started, maybe Wei didn't stand up, but instead buried himself first.

...

On March 11, 1893, it was a sunny day. The golden sun gleamed on the earth, and the new shoots from the grass were imprinted. The whole world was full of vitality.

The square of Versailles Palace is full of voices at this moment. The French people coming from all directions are anxiously awaiting the execution of the traitor-former and former...President Robert.

Looking at the scene in front of him, General Yevgeny, who was watching the excitement, shook his head and thought to himself: ”The guillotine is already online, but I don't know if it was the one who executed Louis XVI back then. Time has passed too long. I have experienced restoration in the middle, so I think it should not be.”

The president is different from the monarch. This thing is not welcome in the age of the monarch. The international community will have no opinion on **** the French. Naturally, General Yevgeny does not mind watching the show.

With the sound of the creaking of the wheels, everyone's eyes gathered together. The French soldiers who had been prepared hurriedly took action and forcibly separated a road for prisoners in the crowd.

Rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs naturally do not exist. The French people are so hungry that they are about to eat soil. How can they waste precious food on a ”traitor” who is about to guillotine?

Without rotten vegetable leaves or rotten eggs, Robert still did not escape the hidden weapon attack. A group of unruly people still threw out the ”hidden weapon” that was prepared long ago.

Because of the distance, Yevgeny didn't see exactly what it was. In short, it would not be a good thing.

I don't know if it was because of intentional or poor accuracy. As the protagonist, Robert was not hit many times, but the people and soldiers on both sides were even more unlucky.

If it were not for the escorting officer to order to stop it in time, it is estimated that a ”civil war” among the people might break out among the onlookers.

As the supreme commander of the Allied forces in Paris, Admiral Yevgeny naturally knew what was going on. Paris has not been peaceful for some time recently. After the success of the Second Revolution, the new government immediately carried out a major purge of Paris.

Countless people are executed every day, either for crimes, politics, or bad luck. In short, the atmosphere in Paris is very tense.

Sometimes Yevgeny even suspected that the new government was trying to reduce food consumption, deliberately using political struggle to reduce the population in order to survive the food crisis.

This is not aimless. Although the war is over, there is still not much food flowing into France. Especially after the Vienna government reduced food exports to France, the food crisis in Paris became more serious.

Preliminary estimates are that the food gap in France in 1893 will be as high as 6 million tons. Imports and smuggling can solve about 3.2 million tons. There is still a gap of 2.8 million tons that cannot be filled.

Theoretically, there is insufficient food at this point. The whole people tighten their belts together, such as reducing livestock and pets, and stopping extravagance and waste, and the crisis is almost over.

However, the reality is very cruel. The rich are still rich in food, extravagant and wasteful, occupying a large amount of food, exacerbating the food crisis, and only the low-level civilians are hungry.

At present, the French government wants to survive the crisis on its own. In addition to letting the nobles, farmers, and capitalists hand over the excess food, it can only reduce the population.

Yevgeny admitted that he was thinking too darkly. According to the current situation in France, if you really survive the crisis by reducing the population, you will not die, but millions will die.

If the crisis were not serious, it is estimated that the French government would not engage in such extreme internal cleansing. It seems to be pursuing dissidents, but in fact it is more trying to get through the crisis.

At least the food merchants who had been hoarding in Paris were all taken away, and the confiscated food was used to help refugees.

Compared with the previous revolutionary government, the current French government is clearly doing better. Through a series of measures, the Paris order was restored in the shortest time.
