C2699 Time to kill! (1/2)

He had finished!

Empress Ou Renni was not someone to be trifled with, and some of this woman's political talents were even higher than her husband's. Otherwise, Napoleon would not have chosen to have her oversee the nation.

Facing the protest march of 500,000 people, the entire streets of Paris were filled with people. Such a scale of mediocre people had already scared the two wars to the point of being at a loss, but Ou Renni was just a little nervous at the start and came up with a solution.

It was impossible to go head to head with these people who were protesting. They had to wait for the sparks to fly up for the revolution's firewood!

But directly agreeing to these people's demands was even more impossible. Once the 500000 National Guard s were established, the Empire's foundation of governance would be destroyed.

In such a dilemma, Ou Renni could actually think of a way to break through. He actually wanted to use the council to stall for time, and use the opposition's own hands to obstruct him.

This woman was simply too understanding of the human heart. She also understood the art of internal conflict within the sect. On the surface, it seemed like she had given in, but in reality, he had thrown his flesh into the pack of wolves.

There were countless people who opposed the emperor, and as long as there were people, their hearts would naturally be in disarray. They could say anything and everything!

Different powers, different parties, they all appeared to work together on the surface, but the empress knew that their internal strife was cruel.

The republicans belonged to the capitalist faction. Most of the people supporting them were the small and medium-sized enterprises and the emerging capital force!

On the other hand, the Workers' Movement's left wing and the Republic's faction were in conflict with each other, and they were supported by countless of workers!

The majority of them were all renowned scholars, professors and so on. It was even harder for these intellectuals to unite into one.

There were dozens of different parties, big and small, and even different groups within each party that were radical, conservative, and neutral. These people seemed to be a lot of people, but once they saw the benefits, they wouldn't make a fuss!

Who will take command of the 500,000 troops? Each faction had their own agenda, everyone hoped for more power!

Different army names were established, weapons and equipment were distributed, and soldiers were paid … Even if it was just a can of supplies, it was worth it!

He rolled his eyes. Once he saw the actual benefits, he was afraid that everything would turn red!

The proposal to create the National Guard would definitely be passed by a majority of the people in the Grand Council, but modifying the details of the proposal would be troublesome!

People would bite back and forth like mad dogs in order to gain benefits. At that time, the emperor and queen would be able to sit in the mountains and watch the dogs fight!

To be able to make these mad dogs fight amongst themselves by throwing a few pieces of flesh and bones that didn't have much flesh on them, this wasn't something that an old politician could think of!

There was no way to stop this senseless quarrel in a year or so. By then, the war would have long been over!

At most, the British could mediate, and France and Prussia could sign the treaty first. When the time came, the emperor would lead hundreds of thousands of troops back to Paris.

How venomous was Ou Renni's heart!

Never would he have thought that even Representative Thiers could not see through such a deep hidden poison, but in the end it was exposed by some unknown people in the Tuileries' garden.

Duke Montopia's face turned pale. He subconsciously wanted to give the order to capture these troublemakers, but after calming down a little and looking at the 10,000 or so citizens who were protesting, he forcefully suppressed his urge.

”Damn it, if I make even the slightest movement now, I would probably cause a bloodbath. I might even kill the hundreds of thousands of people who just returned home!”

”The situation is urgent. You guys watch over this place, I'll go ask the empress!”
