C1854 Devils Drink (2/2)
”My dear French Emperor, have you forgotten about the Revolution? Those thugs who occupy the left side of the council, they killed the king and queen! ”
”You won't forget, because from that day on, the power of the left wing, or left wing, began to show itself in this world … These extremists have always liked to use the destruction of order to achieve social progress! ”
”It's better to go to the right side. It's so gentle, so conservative …”
The Head of State of the East and the French Emperor of Europe, two men who stood at the pinnacle of the human world, actually relied on a cup of Devil absinthe to form some sort of spiritual connection.
Maybe at this moment, Xiao Letian could also feel the feeling of their souls exiting their bodies, the two men at the pinnacle actually started to discuss about the French Revolution.
Within the political circle, the left and right faction were not unfamiliar with the modern man. Sometimes, people would call the left faction the Eagle Group, the right faction the Dove faction, and even say that the left faction was filled with war maniacs, while the right faction was filled with cowards.
The Left Wing and the Right Wing, or the Left Wing and the Right Wing, these words were all from the time of the French Revolution.
In the Parliament at that time, the members who supported the strong reforms to break up all the royal authority of the nobles gathered and sat on the left side of the hall. The members who occupied the right side of the hall supported the royal power as well as the royal authority.
At that time, it could be said that the imperial aristocracy had been abolished for the Republic. This group was known as the leftist faction, and those who supported the traditional monarchy and refused to reform were known as the right-wing faction.
Over time, the definition of ”Left” and ”Right” had changed, and the later generations had abolished the imperial republican system. In fact, the ”Left” and ”Right” factions were also divided into ”Left” and ”Right”.
In general, the left-wingers tend to change the revolution, they like to break the rules of the past and create new order and industrial wealth from destruction.
The rightists were more conservative. They didn't want to make big changes to the existing order. They didn't want to suffer the pain of changing the rules. They only liked to govern large countries like cooking small food.
It doesn't matter if you're right or wrong. These are just two types of philosophy: radical and moderate.
However, during Napoleon's era in power, the left wing was extremely dangerous for him, because at that time, the left wing was a bunch of republicans who wanted to overturn the throne of Napoleon III and let the country be reunited.
Why on earth did France lose the Franco-Prussian War? When Prussia surrounded Paris, why did the Paris Public Society appear? And how was the international song born?
The root cause of all this is closely related to the conflict between the inner left and the right in France.
Why was the army mobilization of the French Emperor inferior to that of Prussia in the war? That was because the hearts of the French people in those days were not made of steel at all.
Xiao Letian had already seen through everything. He had already analyzed the surface and deep reasons behind France's defeat long ago.
The country was several times more powerful than Prussia, but it had been defeated on the battlefield. Even in the previous war preparations, Prussia had been less efficient.
Why is that? That was because leftist ideas had begun to spread widely among the people.
