C2524 Never back down (1/2)
At 12 o'clock in the afternoon, this demonstration in Paris suddenly went out of control. Under the provocation of countless unknown people, the peaceful demonstration suddenly turned into a massacre!
There were always some illogical workers who rashly attacked the nobles, capitalists, police, and even some workers who turned into thugs, smashing open the storefronts of shops along the street to engage in looting.
At the same time, there would also be some policemen who would not obey the orders. Seeing the opportunity to shoot, they would slowly turn the conflict between the two sides into a war that would not end until one side was dead.
In less than half an hour, Wa Erlan and Du Waer discovered that something was amiss when they just left the Champs-Elysées.
”Listen …” ”Where did the gunshot come from?”
”My God! There was indeed a gunshot, and even a faint sound of fighting could be heard! ”
”Hurry up and send someone to investigate!” Where did this problem come from?! ”
Just then, a group of union leaders ran over from the distance. These were the Organizer s from the other lines, they gasped for breath as they ran over and roared.
”My God! Something big has happened. The police in London have already started suppressing them, and now they are shooting at our brothers! ”
”The information you guys gave us is wrong, the information is wrong, Napoleon III did not retreat at all, he did not even think of letting us off, he set up a trap and lured us into the streets, they want to surround us and kill us all!”
Wa Erlan shouted loudly, ”Impossible! This is absolutely impossible, our sources of intelligence are very reliable. Archbishop, Representative Gan Bida, you have all conveyed to us the attitude of Napoleon III! ”
”As long as we don't make a move, they will definitely not interfere! Furthermore, even if they did interfere, they would not have been able to fire at such a fast rate of time! ”
”Napoleon III is not a fool. Doesn't he know that we have gathered the power of 250 thousand people? Does he dare to fight us directly? Isn't he afraid of forcing an uprising? ”
The person panted and said, ”I understand all that you've said, but the truth is the truth! They are shooting to suppress us, and we have suffered heavy casualties. Our comrades have already started their counterattacks, so we have no way of controlling the situation! ”
”How do you explain that? Our comrades will die at any moment! They are bleeding, you, as the Leader, have to take on this responsibility! ”
”Enough! This is not the time to blame each other, so of course we have to take responsibility, but the most important thing for us right now is to come up with a decision. ”
Wa Erlan and Du Hai'er looked at each other, and then shouted to the senior leaders beside them. ”Right now, we have two choices, the first is to disband where we are, to prevent the conflict from escalating!”
”The second option is that we continue to move forward against enemy fire. At the very least, we have to take Victor. ”The remains of the Nova martyrs were taken to the cemetery …”
Before he could finish, he heard the crowd clamor, ”Why didn't you resist? We have gathered over 200,000 comrades who share the same interests as us. We are not afraid of any overlord or general! ”
”Shut up! Do you take the lives of our comrades as a joke? Have you forgotten the lessons of your past failures? 250 thousand unarmed workers against Napoleon III's 200 thousand strong army? ”
”We don't have the strength to start an armed uprising. Do you want us to bleed for nothing?”
”There's no time to waste. Let's decide which to choose. Everyone will vote on the spot!”
The leaders of the Workers' Movement and tens of thousands of ordinary citizens all gnashed their teeth in anger. However, no one could refute them, the gap in strength was right in front of them, it was useless to have too many people without a spear.
However, people would not choose to retreat gloomily. If they retreated today, it would be difficult for them to gather the people they wanted in the future.
