C2698 Conspiracy of Empress Ou Renni (2/2)
The Champs-Elysées suddenly erupted into cheers!
”We have won!” The Empire has compromised with us! ”
”They agreed to our conditions, and allowed the formation of five hundred thousand National Guard s!”
”Long live! Long live the people! Long live the Self Guard! ”
The whole day's worth of suffering had not been in vain. After a day's worth of suffering, nearly five hundred people had been struck unconscious, and more than two hundred people had been injured due to the overcrowding. All of this had paid off.
Although the conscription could not be done now, and even if the council had to go through the formalities, this was still a good omen, wasn't it!
The hungry and thirsty citizens finally began to disperse in the dusk. Thousands upon thousands of citizens returned home, and the dense mass of heads in Champs-Elysées began to disperse at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Montaubon wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to himself, The most dangerous day has finally passed!
But before he could return to the palace to congratulate the empress, he suddenly heard a dissonant voice from the Tuileries' garden!
”Citizens of Paris! We can't go! We can't fall for it! ”
”The enemy is using a strategy to slow them down, they are just waiting for them to change! What council discussions, they are just stalling for time! ”
Listening to the impassioned words of the individual speakers, many of the demonstrators who wanted to return home stopped in their tracks!
”Citizens, please think about it carefully. Although the council will definitely pass the military expansion plan, what about the time? How much time does it take to discuss and vote? ”
”Don't be silly, my comrades. This is the enemy's strategy to slow down the enemy's advance!”
”They want to build a National Guard with 500,000 people! How big a project is this? How many numbers do you want to build? Who does the commander appoint? How were the weapons and equipment distributed? Who's got a good weapon and who's got a bad one? ”
”How are we going to deal with the logistics? Who is going to provide us with uniforms, flags, leather equipment, horses, vehicles, etc.?”
”If all these matters have been discussed, it will take at least half a year. By then, the war will have been over!”
”Wake up! Good citizens! The enemy was too disgusting! They really have figured out how we feel about this! ”
”Although we are all fighting for the same goal, we belong to different organizations and different political parties!”
”Once we arrive at the discussion stage, the leaders will definitely argue over who should get more benefits and who should get less equipment!”
”Think about it! My loved ones, if the cannons are not enough, who should be the one to split the cannons? With so many factions here, there will definitely be a lot of arguments! ”
”That old demoness Ou Renni is really malicious. She wanted to use benefits to break apart our united hearts, hoping that the whole council would fall into chaos and let us fight over her!”
”As long as there's a quarrel, the time will be put off indefinitely! At that time, before the National Guard is established, maybe the army of the French Emperor will already have returned to Paris! ”
”You can't be fooled! ”Comrades, we need to continue the battle and demonstrate our strength!”
Where did this smart person come from? With just one sentence, Ou Renni's scheme had been completely exposed!
