C2698 Conspiracy of Empress Ou Renni (1/2)
What Thiers said was right, the angry citizens were not rational at all. It was very easy to encourage them to go out and cause trouble, but it was extremely difficult to make them calm down!
Let alone the emperor and empress, even their Organizer would find it hard to persuade them to make a move!
Either the Queen agreed to their conditions right away, or she allowed them to continue causing trouble until they were exhausted, and then left on their own accord.
But these two things were not too realistic, Empress Ou Renni would never agree to let these people arm the five hundred thousand National Guard, and looking at their fanatical expressions, this berserk state was not something that could be dispelled in a day or two!
This was a national war, an all-out war between the France and Prussia. It was a great war to mobilize all the military forces of the two peoples. Millions of people were killed and hundreds of millions of people were captured within the war.
The spirits of the two races had been mobilized. The nationalist spirit was extremely high!
France was originally a proud race, how could they bear with failure!
The border lines had already been breached, and the Alsatian and Lorraine regions were already on fire. The enemy had already invaded their own country, killing and looting. No one could tolerate this!
All of the France's face and skin looked as if they were being ripped off alive.
On the streets of Paris, at the sight of these citizens from other countries, these agitated citizens felt as if they were being mocked and insulted!
These two defeats had truly stung the weak nerves of the French!
Empress Ou Renni knew that if they did not calm down today, there was a high chance that they would undergo a 24-48 hour or even longer demonstration!
Then the whole of Paris would be in total disarray!
Empress Ou Renni took a few deep breaths, restrained her anger and said to Thiers: ”You already have what you want, take this news out and bring it to Blanqui and the others …”
”Tell them, if the empire collapses, the Prussian will invade our borders. We won't get a perfect egg under the cover of the nest, and they won't be able to finish us off!”
”The nation is in trouble, not a time for you to get mixed up in your own thoughts! It will do us good to restore order in Paris! ”
The Queen had no choice but to lower her head and converse with Thiers.
Thiers stood up straight and bowed respectfully to the empress, ”Please be at ease empress, I am also a patriot! ”I will do my best to persuade the demonstrators, and I will do my best!”
Thiers stayed in the Tuileries' Palace for a full seven hours. In these seven hours of time, he finally got what he wanted.
In other words, although the fruit of victory was not in his mouth, it was already in his pocket!
Thiers left the Imperial Palace and quickly blended into the crowd. Under the protection of countless of republican leaders, he quickly went to the rear of the group to hold meetings.
The workers' faction represented by Thiers, as well as the leaders of the loose nationalist forces, including Thiers's comrades all gathered together to study this good news.
Their struggle against the French Emperor for so many years had paid off today, but when they heard the news that the Queen had given in, the tavern erupted into applause.
After that, Thiers gave a speech on behalf of the Queen, in which he strongly hoped that the various factions would control their supporters and try to restore order in Paris.
The revolutionaries of this era still had some romanticism to them, and there were still simple shadows on their bodies. Hearing Thiers's analysis, no one present had any thoughts of chasing after him anymore, and the order to retreat was quickly issued from the headquarters.
Six in the afternoon, the sun was setting!
