C2880 A paper that defies the heavens (2/2)

Thinking about the logic that he did not have with the soldiers, McMahon felt a kind of fear coming from his soul.

Xiao Letian's analysis on the First Republic and First Empire was far more than that. He had clearly stated it in his paper, Napoleon. Why did Bonaparte call himself an emperor? That was actually an important means of alleviating the situation at that time.

One must know that the Great Revolution was absolutely not tolerated in Europe at that time. All the kings of Europe could be said to be gnashing their teeth in hatred! They wanted to use their power to topple the country to destroy the achievements of the Great Revolution!

The establishment of the Anti-France Alliance had allowed Napoleon to succeed in his position. The battle of Toulon and the suppression of the Royal Party were the two most important steps for Napoleon.

After defeating the first anti-French alliance, the First Republic received a short period of rest, and the national policies laid down in Paris began to spread to the countryside.

Six years later, when Napoleon was on his expedition to Egypt, the European monarchs joined hands again to form the second anti-French alliance to attack the France.

As you can see from here, the transition period between the first anti-French alliance and the second anti-French alliance is a full six years, which allows many policies to be implemented in the countryside.

After the second anti-French alliance was formed, the Alliance Army quickly started their attack on France, while Napoleon, who was in Egypt, returned to Paris alone and successfully launched a Fog Moon coup, which swept away all the politicians who tried to push him away. During this time of crisis, he officially became the first consul of the France.

In just one year, Napoleon had defeated the second anti-French alliance and forced all the countries to sign a peace treaty with the France!

At this time, Napoleon finally became the number one person in the France.

Then, Napoleon would have to carefully think about how to protect the future of his motherland and the fruits of the great revolution!

Five years after the coup in the Fog Month, Emperor Napoleon officially became the emperor. However, his accession to the throne did not cause any strong protests from the French Nation.

This was because before he ascended the throne, the France held a referendum. Three million five hundred thousand effective voters supported Napoleon as the emperor, and there were only over two thousand votes against him!

In Notre Dame, Na Polunbonaba used his own hands to raise the crown and put it on his head, not for the archbishop to crown it!

”I am the emperor of the referendum. I will be crowned!”

This was what Napoleon had said back then, and this sentence had thoroughly revealed the essence of the revolution!

The rights of the people had finally surpassed the rights of the gods and the feudal aristocracy!

The rights of the people already decided who would become the emperor, this result probably made all the kings in Europe shudder!

Was Napoleon's title of emperor finally what the ambitious wanted, or was he really trying to protect the fruits of the revolution? Xiao Letian had written it very clearly in his paper, there was a reason behind both of these things!

Firstly, he had to admit that Napoleon was also a selfish person. Being able to become an emperor was indeed the highest honor a human could achieve!

But to claim the title of emperor would also be beneficial in alleviating the unfavorable diplomatic situation in the France! Napoleon knew very well that the Anti-Law Alliance would not end, the kings would not let the country go, they would fight the France again and again!

In order to avoid war, let the France have a king, let him become an empire, become like all the other countries, this might be able to alleviate the worries of the kings!
