C2616 forced ultimatum (1/2)

It was under the leadership of the demon Xiao Letian that the public opinion in France was in chaos.

Some rumors were about the attack on the French Emperor itself, saying that he was old and did not have the spirit to develop further. Right now, they were thinking about how to stabilize his position as the emperor, and how to make the crown prince take over.

There were also some rumors that used conspiracy theories to explain everything that had happened. The citizens believed that the nobles of the Empire had reached a sinister agreement with Prussia to sell their country in exchange for their interests.

After all, the nineteenth century was a place where nationalism was just rising. Other than the fact that the French Nation was relatively high in idealism, the people of many European countries were still used to feudal rule and the rule of gods.

In this way of thinking, the concept of the country is very illusory, the people will not have too strong a backlash for the change of their country's territory.

It was just like how, in history, Napoleon I defeated Prussia in the battle of Jena and cut off half of Prussia's territory in one fell swoop, and this half of the people who had been cut off did not revolt or revolt.

Even if the Alsace and Lorraine regions were ceded to Germany after the end of the Puta, the people of the two regions would be equally content to live their own lives.

This was the social reality of the time when nationalism did not rise on a large scale. National consciousness was not deeply rooted in the minds of the people. The crime of selling one's country was not as serious as it was in the future.

In this context, the people generally believed that the aristocrats of the world were one family … This argument was true! Because the nobility of Europe are not divided by the state, but by the family.

Several large aristocratic families had formed an alliance with each other and started a war, achieving a balance in their struggle!

If French nobles were to sell their country to Prussia for their own benefit, it would be a joke!

These two rumours were the most accepted and widely spread amongst the people. As for the other gossips, they were merely gossip.

But the side news also has his role, the ancient Chinese language pays attention to fish eyes mixed with pearls, how can the pearl show the value? Then countless fish eyes would have to be mixed in to make comparisons.

Being able to create one or two real ones would not be enough to sustain a huge antique market. One would have to mix one real item from hundreds of fake ones in order to attract popularity.

Xiao Letian made so much lustful news, so many bizarre stories, all to incite the popularity of French public opinion, making everyone on the streets of Paris discuss this matter.

It was necessary to get everyone in Paris involved in the war of words, so that the true nationalist mania would rise and the imperial power would be forced.

The flying fists seemed very satisfying, but there were only two real killing moves. The first was aimed at Napoleon III himself, saying that he was old and weak, without the courage to heal the nation just by attacking him.

The second was directed at the entire French aristocrat capitalist class, attacking them to sell out their country, using all sorts of false and false information to convince the public that these brain-dead fellows were working with Prussia to sell out the interests of the empire.

Why was it that after all these years of expansion in the France and the growth of the colonies, the citizens still lived such a miserable life? In the end, there were people who sold their country, and there were people who sold the France's benefits to others.

In the end, those nobles were not born to be on the same boat as the people!

Even if the France was sunk, the nobles could easily abandon the ship and leave!

On one side, there were the traditional ideas of feudalism and divine authority that refused to quit the stage of history. It was best to take a look at the arrogant aristocrats and church members of the Street in Paris, who had launched the second empire and Napoleon III in order to protect their own interests.

On the other hand, it was the enlightenment movement of nationalism and even socialism and communism. The divine power finally faded away and the national banner was finally raised.

But before nationalism could rule the world, new socialist ideas began to spread in the romantic part of France.

The hearts of the people in this era were in chaos, and it was also when new and old ideas disappeared, that Xiao Letian had the chance to take advantage of the crisis.
