C2694 floating of peoples hearts (2/2)
If the national luck was not working out, then it was really a bad situation. The current situation in Paris was even more difficult than General Ba Zan thought.
Inside the Tuileries' Palace, Empress Ou Renni and the Prime Minister Ao Liwei stayed behind to guard the General Montaubine. Sitting opposite to the three of them was the Sai Na Province's Representative, Thiers.
The empress looked at Thiers coldly and said, ”I'll say it again, organizing the National Guard s is the power of the emperor, and no one else is allowed to authorize it, including me!”
”Withdraw your suggestion and tell those people behind you to stop dreaming!”
Thiers was a thoroughly republican person. In the past, he had some enmity with the Napoleon Family, and he had also been imprisoned by the French Emperor.
After he gained a bit of prestige in Paris, he also praised Napoleon III in public. As a result, he was pardoned by the French Emperor and became a councilor to restore his political path.
From the beginning to the end, Thiers had been shouting for the republicans and he had been forcing French Emperor to reform. He did not even support this Franco-Prussian war.
”Dear Queen, I have always been against this war. I believe that France is completely overwhelmed by the fervor of this war. We are not ready for it!”
”Prussia has always been preparing for war, but we have been abandoned for more than ten years, so our chances of victory are slim!”
”That's why I'm requesting for the Queen's permission to form the Self Guard with the citizens of Paris. Our requirements are not high, please give us two hundred thousand rifles, I will personally lead two hundred thousand soldiers to the battlefield to assist!”
”Empress, what do you have to worry about? The Self Guard was also under the command of the Ministry of Defence! They are all the army of the Empire, and they are all here to protect their homeland! ”
Duke of oculi bridge, Montaubon laughed sinisterly, ”Heh heh … I'm afraid it's not that simple, these two hundred thousand soldiers will be easy to build up, and it'll be hard to disband them in the future! ”
”His Majesty has three hundred thousand veterans who can fight well. It's not a problem for him to deal with a small Prussia …”
Thiers glanced at Montaubon and laughed sinisterly, ”Heh heh … Is that true? ”I'm afraid not …”
Just as he finished speaking, a commotion suddenly came from outside Tuileries' Palace, followed by a tsunami like sound wave that covered the sky.
”Shame!” the shame of the France! We were defeated, we were actually defeated! ”
”The humiliated Walter Battle, McMahon lost the Wiesanburg Gate!”
”In the battle of Spicillin's plateau, Flosad became a homeless dog!”
”traitor!” Our government is full of bandits! ”
”The Prussian has already charged into our northeastern border. They are burning, killing and looting! Our people are crying! ”
The Queen pushed open the window, looked at the people outside in shock, and realized that countless of people were gathering at Tuileries' garden.
The flyers in the sky flew down like snowflakes. All the citizens of Paris had gone crazy. They cried and shouted while trying their best to vent their emotions.
Countless people tore at their clothes to reveal their chests, as if the fire in their hearts could not be extinguished.
”What's going on? Why did these people start to demonstrate again? Why did they say the front line had failed? Who made this up! ”
