C2959 Theres been an infighting in Paris. (1/2)
The sun was low and the night was falling. The citizens of northern Paris were eagerly awaiting the news of victory. Almost no one doubted that victory would arrive in Paris tonight. After all, it was twenty thousand against two thousand. How could they lose?
Around seven in the evening, a fast horse suddenly came from the north. On the horse's back was a messenger from the Self Guard.
”Make way, make way... The army was about to return … ”He'll be back soon …”
”Did you win?” Have we won … ” Before the soldier could reply, someone from the crowd started cheering excitedly.
”It must have been a victory. The cavalrymen that came back were the ones who reported the victory, not the ones who fled …” This means that our army is returning in formation... ”
”Long live! Long live China! ”
The young warrior on the horse's back had a blood-red face. He didn't know what to say, but these people wouldn't give way either.
”Anyway …” We don't have any casualties... We really didn't suffer any casualties … ”
The soldier was right, of course they didn't have any casualties. Only the hundreds of soldiers who had fainted from the heat attack were finally woken up by the cold water.
The citizens, who had received the answer, finally cheered. They opened up a path to let the red-faced soldier leave. Everyone only had one thought in their minds.
We have no casualties, how can we be defeated!
The old bar had been converted into a makeshift meeting room for the left. When the soldiers brought the real report here, the hall was dead silent.
The clock on the wall ticked, causing Blanqui's brows to furrow, ”You're saying... There was no battle at all... All day long you have been played back and forth by the cavalry? ”
”Yes …” The enemy would feign attack again and again before retreating. Afterwards, they would continue to retreat, even going so far as to surround and set fire to it before retreating … ”The endless running …”
”All the soldiers had no water to drink, no food to eat, more than 700 people were suffering from heatstroke in a single day... The pain is unspeakable! ”
”If not for Officer De Lekelvzi personally going to negotiate it, I'm afraid that we would still be unable to return …”
”Not good …” Louis. Michelle, the female rights fighter jumped up, ”There are too many reporters in the Shabelle Sect, will the Interim Government make use of this matter to make trouble?”
Was there even a need to ask that? He definitely would! The workers' leaders present quickly ordered the expulsion of photographers from the vicinity of the Shabelle Gate, trying to keep things under control.
However, it was too late. At this moment, twenty thousand Self Guard soldiers had already entered the Shabelle Gate in a grandiose manner. The crowd cheered like a tide, a total of forty to fifty thousand citizens of Paris crowded on both sides of the road, cheering for the 'victorious' army.
Fu Lankeer and De Lekelvzi's faces were flushed red. They hid within the troop and did not dare to look straight into the eyes of the citizens.
”How is the battle going? How many enemies had he killed? How many weapons have you seized? ”
”Have you discovered the Prussian? or only the Chinese... ”
”Where are the prisoners? ”Where are your victorious prisoners …”
The more people who asked, the more ashamed the soldiers became. They didn't know how to answer, so they could only keep their mouths shut as they hurried on their way.
The National Guard was in fact an upgraded version of the militia, they did not have any fixed military camps to live in. When the troops entered the city, the leader quickly gave the order to disband.
All of the Battalion Head soldiers carried their weapons, lowered their heads, and ran back home. No matter how many people asked, they did not answer.
All of this was discovered by the reporters sent by the Interim Government. With smiles on their faces, they began to record these scenes.
Just then, a large group of workers and Self Guard soldiers rushed out. Everyone Dissolves... Recover Order... ”Be careful of the enemy's sneak attack on the city gates …”
