C2917 Political upheaval (2/2)

”The era that belongs to us is about to begin. Now … Let us advance towards victory, towards the council, towards the Tuileries' Palace, we want to reclaim the rights that should have been ours! ”

”Long live!” The crowd immediately burst into cheers. The powder keg that had been suppressed for so long had finally been ignited!

Paris had completely fallen into a frenzy. Blanqui led his supporters and walked on the streets with their heads held high and chest puffed up. This time, no police or military police dared to stop them.

The streets and alleys were filled with a stampede of people who were dragging their throats to send the latest news all over the city.

”Napoleon III has surrendered … French Emperor lost! ”

”The empire has collapsed …” The one hundred thousand strong army has all been captured! ”

”Citizens, organize... Walk on the Street... To rebuild our government! ”

All the doors and windows were open, and people of all shapes and sizes had different expressions on their faces. Looking out, one could see that the entire city had been enveloped in a sense of excitement.

Streams of people surged out from almost every alleyway, and they headed towards the center of the city. Blanqui had not even reached the vanguard unit, but he had already arrived at the Tuileries' Palace.

The entire Tuileries Garden was filled with angry people, the palace guards with guns outside the iron barrier were completely unaware of what was happening, they were still foolishly holding on to their positions.

”Idiot!” The French Emperor had already surrendered … Empress Ou Renni has already escaped, what are all of you still guarding here for?

”Charge in, charge into the Tuileries' Palace … Burn the flag! ”

The angry citizens grabbed onto the iron bars and began to shake them. More workers even started to push against the iron gates, making ear-piercing sounds.

The soldiers behind the gate were all scared silly. They couldn't tell if it was real or fake, but they knew that the Queen had already left for Versailles this morning.

”Open Gate... You are also the children of the France, the despicable Bonaparte Family has already abandoned you, are you still not going to wake up? ”

In the end, the imperial guards didn't even dare to shoot. With a loud bang, half of the gates were pushed open, and thousands of citizens swarmed in, causing the soldiers to be thrown into disarray.

”What should we do? Sir, what should we do... ” The soldiers howled in despair through the crowd.

”Damnit …” Back to the Watch Room... Waiting for the latest command... God, is there any more orders? Just who should we listen to! ”

The majestic Tuileries' Palace was the home of the Bonaparte Family. After two generations of emperors, this place was already the most luxurious palace in France.

The walls were gilded, the ceiling chandeliers carefully crafted by Italian craftsmen.

The murals on the ceiling were endless, and the paintings and statues on the walls were all Renaissance masterpieces.

Of course, most of the paintings were still of the Bonaparte Family, the two generations of emperors were hanging on the walls and people could even see the precious painting of Napoleon's coronation.

”These are all trash from the feudal emperors who destroyed him …” At that time, some crazy citizens picked up ink bottles and were about to throw them at the oil painting.

A middle-aged man in glasses among the crowd screamed out in fear and immediately grabbed onto his hand!

”Is he crazy? Art is borderless, and does not distinguish between friend and foe... This is a work of art, the wealth of the entire The French people.

”We are here to declare our sovereignty, not to destroy art!”
