C2697 Opposition to force the palace! (2/2)

”At least you and the Prussian are at a standoff at the border! We can't let the enemy burn our territory! What do you want me to do? If you want me to supervise the country, how can I do so? ”

”Idiot, you gave me such a difficult problem!”

Cursing in her heart was not the best way to solve the problem, since Empress Ou Renni was a veteran in politics, she made her decision in a few minutes.

”Thiers! Your request is not something that I can decide on. France still has a council, so whether or not the five hundred thousand strong army can be formed, when, how, and how are they to be formed … None of these questions should be left to us to dictate! ”

”You can write a proposal and bring it to the council for discussion!”

”Hmm? Empress, is that true? ” Thiers was stunned for a moment, thinking ”Has the empress gone crazy today?” You actually kicked the ball into the Council, into our territory?

One must know that France was now known as the France's Second Empire! This was a monarch's dictatorship of a country. The earliest Parliament had been abolished by Napoleon III, and this was due to the pressure placed on them by the internal power, forcing them to recover.

The French Parliament had no real power at the moment, and even if they could pass all kinds of bills, the official authorities would ignore them.

The Ministry of Finance would not listen to them, nor would the military. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Education, etc. These actual government departments still listened to the emperor's words.

So at this moment, the council was like a decoration, a typical place to quarrel!

This council which had no actual authority naturally became the gathering place for all sorts of people who opposed the emperor. Some were from the republicans, some were from the left, some were from the free nationalist … They gathered together and argued every day.

The Queen actually said that she would send the bill to the council to discuss it today? Aren't you asking for trouble? How could the council that formed the National Guard not approve it? How could he possibly refuse?

Thiers was a little clueless as to what kind of medicine the empress was trying to sell. He carefully asked, ”Empress … If the council passes, will you be able to do so? It can't be a plan to stall for time, right? ”

Ou Renni laughed coldly as she looked at him: ”You guys are able to organize a demonstration with 500,000 people, if I play any tricks on you, tomorrow these 500,000 people will go berserk, right?”

”You are also the ones who want democracy. Now that I've given you democracy, are you hesitating again? Then what exactly do you want!? ”

Thiers heard the empress's scolding and did not get angry. He smiled lightly and said, ”The empress is right, I was wrong about this.

”Wait a minute!” The empress looked at him coldly. ”Get rid of these people outside!” Since I am sincere again, you all must show your sincerity! ”

Thiers frowned as he shook his head, ”I'm really sorry, but I don't have that kind of ability. The anger in the hearts of these citizens is not something that a council member like me can quell …”

”You've got what you want, what else do you want? Do you want to completely destroy the France during a time of national crisis? ” The empress's voice was as shrill as a madwoman's!

Thiers's face was bitter, ”Empress, please calm your anger … Please calm down … I also want to solve the problem, but these people have to do something to quell their anger! ”

”Now you have only agreed to discuss it in the council, not immediately agree to their demands! Therefore, the anger in their hearts has not been let loose! ”

”You should be clear... People... Especially if hundreds of thousands of people gather together, they will become emotional animals. This is not something that can be solved by just talking to one or two people! ”
