Chapter 999： Bourbon restoration (2/2)
In order to raise funds, Carlos started a crazy big sale model.
Overseas assets invested by the Bonaparte dynasty—sell; a series of infrastructure including ports, wharfs, roads, bridges, and parks—sell; state-owned banks, industrial and mining enterprises—sell; ...
In short, as long as there is no industry that can be realized, there is nothing that cannot be sold. If anyone pays, I guess Carlos wouldn't mind even selling the Palace of Versailles.
The most regrettable thing is that the situation in France is now collapsing, and the original valueless industry can only be sold for one floor price.
The floor price must also be sold. Who makes them short of money? Generally speaking, Carlos has done one thing recently: raise money-buy food.
In the restoration coalition headquarters, Lieutenant General Felix reminded: ”His Royal Highness, the sound of guns in the city has been reduced, and it seems that the battle is about to end.
The time to seize Paris is approaching, and now we need to organize manual mine clearance and clear a road for the army to pass. ”
When the mines were buried, how happy they were to play; when they were clearing mines, how hard they were. No one knew that civil strife would break out in Paris, and the mines were buried as hard as possible to avoid the enemy rushing out.
The inner three floors and the outer three floors are densely packed with mines. Even the soldiers responsible for burying mines can't accurately remember where they are buried.
Facts have proved that the landmine siege law is indeed very effective. The defenders in the city have been blown up in multiple attacks.
It's troublesome when clearing mines. This is a high-risk job. A bad operation will send oneself to the sky.
”Organize people to explore slowly. This kind of thing is not fast. The food in the city should be able to last for some days. We still have time. When necessary, we can organize airships to put food into the city.”
They were all horrible ideas, but Carlos said without changing his face.
Excavating slowly, it seems to be responsible for the personal safety of the soldiers who cleared mines, but in fact, I want to accept the mess later.
Originally, the food in Paris can still last for a while, but after this wave of civil war, it is still unknown that it can last for a few days.
What's more, people's hearts are complicated. Even if there is food in the city, it is impossible to distribute it to everyone fairly. The end result is nothing more than that those in power continue to feast, and ordinary people continue to starve.
The airdrop of food is even more nonsense. The few old and broken airships in their hands can drop a dozen tons of food into the city every day. It looks like a lot, but it's a drop in the bucket.
If you don't suffer from shortage and unevenness, if you don't have enough food, you can only grab it. In a sense, putting food into the city is not solving problems, but intensifying conflicts.
Knowing that it was a bad idea, Carlos had to adopt it, because he had no better choice now.
As a reserve king, there is always something to do when the people are in dire straits. Even if the sequelae of these measures are serious, the starting point is always good.
Throughout the ages, there have been too many good intentions to do bad things, and they are finally forgiven; but those who really do good things often face accusations of impure motives.
Being able to stand out from many candidates, Carlos naturally does not lack political skills. If it is really a trash, even if the nobles are willing to accept a useless puppet, the Bourbon dynasty cannot let him out ashamed.
The situation in France is so chaotic, no matter who is up there, and the means are not ruthless, don't try to stand firm.
Looking at the problem from another angle, the more chaotic the current situation in Paris, the greater the casualties and the smaller the hidden dangers that will be faced after the future acceptance.
After the chaos ends, it is estimated that for a long period of time in the future, the people of Paris will become more familiar with the revolutionary party.
...
The wheels of history are rolling forward, which cannot be blocked by personal will. On December 7, 1893, the radical revolutionary regime led by Danielle was destroyed in the vast ocean of People's War.
On December 10, the Bourbon Restoration Group led by Carlos officially entered Paris. On the 12th, Carlos was crowned king in the ruined Palace of Versailles, and France once again opened the Bourbon era.
The restoration was successful, but Carlos, who was looking at the messy Palace of Versailles, regained the Bourbons, was not happy at all.
The years of hardship have just begun, and not only the Palace of Versailles is ruined, but the whole of France is in a state of waste. The resettlement of refugees, the restoration of the economy, and the repayment of debts have become the three big mountains weighing on Carlos.
