C2962 Illusory nationalist (1/2)
As someone who sympathized with the Workers' Movement, Xiao Letian making a few suggestions was merely a few suggestions. This suggestion was actually a general assessment of the failure of Blanqui and the others in the future.
Blanqui and the rest had been defeated because they had been indecisive and had been hoping for a fluke against their enemies. From the beginning to the end, they had never realized just how fierce the enemies in the France were.
They seemed to have never placed their right to survival first. Now that they had met on such a rare historical opportunity, Blanqui was actually not thinking about how to reap the benefits, but first, it was to consider the issue of war reparations.
From the start, Blanqui had always considered things from the perspective of a pure patriot. He did not want to damage the benefits of his country, so if he refused to pay for the war, of course he would not be able to cede the country.
In their hearts, the interests of the France were the most important!
Compared to Blanqui's childish politics, Thiers and the rest were mature and treacherous. When Xiao Letian secretly sent people to communicate with Thiers, that fox saw its opportunity to fight for power and gain.
Thiers was a veteran in the political arena. He had spent his entire life researching the history of the France and Napoleon's regime. He was very clear on the weakness of France.
It could be said that even before the French Emperor declared war, Thiers knew that the Empire was bound to lose, and that it would lose miserably!
But Thiers didn't say anything, he only waited patiently, waiting for the opportunity that belonged to him. He wanted to pass by the corner of the road at the moment the empire collapsed, to determine the outcome of the battle and directly enter the ranks of the frontline politicians in the country.
This mission was extremely difficult, to the point that it was hard for Thiers to give up on it several times. However, when he unexpectedly encountered the olive branch handed to him by Xiao Letian, everything changed.
Xiao Letian did not give Thiers much money, but the most important thing for Xiao Letian to give him was information. Even more important than information was the leader's judgement of the situation.
Which was to say that Thiers knew about the trump cards of the Prussians and the Chinese from the start, so he never reported any illusions.
With a strategic prediction, support from intelligence, and the time line of the front line … Then he could make his plans in Paris.
First, he stole money from the Imperial Bank, and then he bought a large number of mercenaries. With the help of mercenaries and money, he could then influence the council … The chain of operations made him suddenly the most connected politician in Paris.
Thiers's appearance on stage looked as though he was unstoppable!
Xiao Letian sighed in his heart: ”Oh, Blanqui! Look at Thiers, how smart he is, he didn't waste any words after meeting me, and directly exchanged benefits, and directly cooperated with me … ”
”Look at you again?” You actually dare to talk to me about compensation after the war? Don't you think about how many enemies you have right now? How many days can you live? ”
”A politician who is not sensitive to danger is destined to be unqualified!”
Blanqui's complexion changed between red and black, and then white. Xiao Letian's taunts, the persuasion of his comrades from other nations, and the sinister and sinister nature of their political opponents. All sorts of information interweaved and rushed into his mind, causing him to feel extremely frustrated.
”Without a country, where would one get a home? It's precisely because we have the nourishment of the French Nation that we have our current self … In this world, only patriotism is not a thing to be considered! ”
”You said that I am a nationalist? ”I thank you very much for your praise …”
Since Blanqui had already said so, Xiao Letian was speechless. He shook his head and said, ”Since that's the case, I won't try to advise you on anything else. Let's talk about cooperation ….”
”In the evening, the Prussian vanguard unit will definitely appear in the outskirts of Paris. Within three days, at least 100,000 of them will gather here in the outskirts of Paris …”
