C2624 Forbidden Song of the Marseille (1/2)
”But teacher!” However … But do we have to wait for the mercy of the rulers? Do you really believe that they will go out of their way to reform? Will they really give us the right? ”
Blanqui was both physically and mentally exhausted. He leaned on the chair and said weakly, ”The road we are walking on is really too difficult! Perhaps, as you said, if we don't advance and choose to retreat, then we will slowly wait for death. But if we choose to advance and choose to struggle, then the final result might be instant death! ”
”The environment is too harsh!” No matter how we choose, it's still a bloody path of no return! ”How many people will die? Countless …”
The Workers' Movement that Blanqui was leading in this era, was a movement that the later generations called the Illusory Paradise Society's denizen. Actually, from their personality, one could tell that the working class of this era was still in a period of confusion.
No one could predict the ruthlessness and irreconcilability of the struggle. They were full of idealism, and even had a fluke mentality towards their enemies. The most important thing was that they possessed the kind of kindness common to ordinary people.
This was very fatal! One must know that in order to become an outstanding politician, one must have the cold spirit of disregard for human life. They would not take human life seriously. In their eyes, everything was but a cold and merciless number.
If ten thousand people could live for a hundred thousand, then as a government official, he would not be the slightest bit lenient. Moreover, this kind of exchange ratio was actually a lot bigger; for example, a war; the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people could be exchanged for tens of millions of years of happiness.
This talent of 'ignoring human life' was not innate, but something that needed nurturing. Especially in ancient times, only large clans with a family background would have this kind of top-notch education.
Just think about it, would that school teach their students to disregard human lives? Definitely not, on the contrary, all the education systems are desperately instilling peace, kindness and love!
It wasn't just the education system. In fact, even religion, culture, and other areas were instilling such thoughts into the masses. After a few thousand years, the lower class people had a kind heart that was almost instinctual to them.
For example, Blanqui and the other pioneers in the revolution, they had indeed organized many large scale demonstrations, and had even carried out armed uprisings.
In their eyes, this level of resistance was already extremely cruel. The unspeakable unspeakable unhappiness filled their hearts, so they were subconsciously unwilling to let the conflict escalate.
In the eyes of these people, if there were thousands of corpses lying on the street, then that would already be a living hell.
But they never would have thought that those rulers, those aristocratic politicians, would be more ruthless and cold-blooded than they thought.
In order to win, hundreds of thousands of lives were nothing. Tens of millions of corpses were scattered all over the place. If those people were to blink their eyes, it would be considered their loss!
This was just a bunch of idealistic revolutionaries with an unerasable kindness from the common people. They were just foolishly scouting the path for the newcomers!
The master and disciple in the room were speechless, no one could say anything, and Michelle was speechless. When she calmed down and thought about her suggestion, she realized that the road would need millions of lives to open up!
Just as he was deep in thought, a burst of cheers came from the tavern's main hall, followed by deafening singing. Wood guitars, violins and the army's walking military drum began to accompany him.
”The moment of glory for the men who will advance to France's homeland has come! Autocratic tyranny oppresses us, and the motherland moans in pain! The motherland was groaning in pain! ”Do you see those vicious soldiers killing people everywhere, taking your wife and children's lives from your arms!”
”Citizen!” Armed! Citizen! A battle to the death! Forward! Forward! All in all! ”Exterminate the enemy!”
”Marseille Melody! They are singing a Marseille song! ” Michelle shouted excitedly and pushed the door open.
At this time, the tavern's main hall was already bustling with noise and noise. The tavern that originally could only hold 30 customers had unexpectedly been crowded with over a hundred people.
