C2700 Ao Liweis Cabinet Collapse (1/2)

The Queen had really underestimated the pride of the France. Facing such a 'weak' opponent like Prussia, she had actually lost two rounds in a row. This kind of result was intolerable to all the nationalist.

Although Ou Renni agreed to expand the army by five hundred thousand, she did not sign the administrative order immediately. Instead, she let the Grand Council discuss it.

Although most of the citizens had chosen to return home to work and earn more bread and milk, small-scale demonstrations were still ongoing in the Street in Paris.

Even though it was a small-scale operation, the number of soldiers numbered around four to five thousand. Their goal was clear: to force the Queen to immediately expand her forces and force the Empire's army into a counter-attack.

”Counterattack!” To Berlin! ”

”Building the army! Immediately prepare for National Guard! ”

Everyone only had these two requests, one was to counterattack and attack the enemy's capital, and the other was to immediately build a National Guard.

In the chaos of the city, the Tuileries' garden was undoubtedly the core of the movement.

Empress Ou Renni could not take it anymore. The long period of mental torture had caused her to be unable to sleep, and she could only rely on the anesthetic effects of alcohol to barely rest for a while.

What was worse was that during this period of time, he still needed to meet with the envoys from the other countries. These impure diplomatic veterans would secretly use these actions to pressure the empress.

The dignity of the Empire was completely trampled upon!

All the newspapers in France had gone crazy, too, and these fatherless newspaper editors, in defiance of the imperial edicts, had gone out of their way to exaggerate the details of the war on the front lines.

Many things that even the empress did not know were dug up by these people.

The newspapers were full of detailed accounts of the war, the incompetence of the French army and the brutality of the Prussian Army.

The exaggerated figures were shocking. The enemy's adultery and plundering had filled the entire nation with righteous indignation!

Amongst the reports of these newspapers, the Alsace and Lorraine region had become a purgatory of the human world. Countless people had been massacred, their property plundered, and almost all the France girls raped!

Adding fuel to the fire! How could this big fire withstand the media pouring oil on it so desperately? Soon, the demonstrations began to spread from Paris.

Rouen, Caen, Nantes, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Marseille, Lyon, Orleans … These important French cities were in turmoil.

The people took to the streets to demonstrate their support for the protests of the citizens of Paris. The local government was out of control, and the logistics for the army had been hectic, but when the protests began, they devoted most of their energy to maintaining order.

This was truly a vicious circle that added insult to injury. The administrative efficiency of the France was already very low, and it was already difficult for the officials to handle the war's logistics supply.

All of a sudden, the logistics was disrupted. The supplies in countless places were all prepared to ride a train and carriage north to support the frontlines, but because of this national protest, they were all delayed.

Many years had passed since the war, and some scholars had searched for historical information. They had once restored the chaos at that time in the private diary of a long dispatcher at the Marseille train station.

”A demonstration suddenly broke out without any warning, and it is said that 200,000 people participated in the procession on the streets of Marseille … I did not participate in this procession, not because I had nothing to say, but because my job was too important! ”

”There are a million rounds of ammunition in the warehouse for this afternoon. There are also 10 tons of butter, 5 tons of cheese and 30,000 emergency kits to be shipped north in three days!”
