C2934 Thierss Sly (1/2)

No one would have thought that Thiers would be so determined, he had actually become the role model for the festive season tonight. From the beginning to the end, he strongly expressed that he would not enter the highest provisional committee.

Not only that, he had also proposed for General Trochu to be the person in charge of the temporary committee!

Seeing that he was so resolute, the other representatives who had already chosen to support him were all confused. They did not know what Trochu was going to do, but according to their understanding of him, this person was like a typical old cunning fox.

It was precisely because of this confusion that the other members of Parliament became indecisive, and the complex looks they exchanged slowly receded.

Gan Bida had also attempted to recommend Thiers as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Elder, but to his surprise, Thiers rejected him immediately. Furthermore, he said on the spot that if he continued to force Thiers, he would not even be a councilor in Paris anymore.

Only then did these people realize that he was serious. Applause immediately rang out. If someone was willing to put up such a high front at such a crucial moment, then the people behind them wouldn't be able to compete for power and profits.

Who doesn't have face?

Only Blanqui was frowning. He knew that Thiers had some tricks up his sleeves, but he was still unable to understand it. It was only when Thiers started to make his proposal later on that Blanqui finally came to a realization.

At the moment, Blanqui was completely righteous, it was as though the Holy Light had entered his body! His first proposal was to ask Congress to vote on a new government cabinet headed by General Trochu.

Even if it was the Interim Government s, they had to take the lead. Although they had not determined whether it was the presidential system or the Prime Minister system, they could not afford to be headless.

The old General Trochu had the qualifications and the hundred and eighty thousand soldiers of the Paris Defence Force. This was the last elite troop of the army that Paris could muster.

They were all regular soldiers, and were absolutely not something the defense Self Guard's grassroots could compare to!

Everyone immediately supported this proposal. Everyone present voted for it!

Trochu was so excited that his face turned red. In his whole life, he had never thought that he would become the number one person in France! Although it was only the temporary head of the committee, he knew that as long as he could lead France through this crisis, the other president would definitely not be able to escape.

This was something that would leave a mark in history. Was he going to reach the pinnacle of his life?

Amidst the applause of the crowd, Old General Trochu officially became the highest Leader of the 26 people's committee, serving as the Defense Minister and commanding the army of the entire France.

At two in the morning, cheers and applause rang out once again outside Bourbon's palace. General Trochu's rule did not arouse any opposition from the masses.

Soon after, Thiers's performance started again. The second person he nominated was the leader of the moderate faction, Representative Fa Fuer. He nominated him as the person in charge of the diplomatic service, as the temporary head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Fa Fuer was famous for being a moderate in the council, many powers had a close relationship with him, although some people objected to this proposal, they would definitely not hold the majority.

Although many Congressman felt that Fa Fuer was too soft and that they would not lose out in the negotiations with Prussia, when they saw that their Senate had raised their hands in agreement, they could only obey.

The council was like this. On the surface, it seemed very fair, but wherever there were people, there would be martial arts world!

Parties were legal, mentoring relationships, seniors, and juniors. Regional cooperation, including capital, were closely linked between people.

To be able to become a member of the Senate must have a very broad base of representatives. In other words, the representatives need their own Senate leaders to protect their own interests.

These were all small gangs. As long as the boss wanted to, they had to listen to whatever the others said.

Soon enough, the voting results were out, two-thirds of the members agreed on the bill, and Fa Fuer officially became the person in charge of the Interim Government's diplomatic service.
