C2965 Burn! Paris! (1/2)

All the groups and branches of the Left Party in Paris started a secret meeting. In just one afternoon, all the groups and factions of the Left Party in all twenty districts in Paris had begun their actions.

On the night of Blanqui's secret conversation with Xiao Letian, over a hundred activists from the left faction were gathered in the old tavern in Montmartre plateau. They had convened a meeting that belonged solely to the working class.

In the meeting, Blanqui passionately said, ”The enemy has already closed in step by step. Look at the Interim Government's committee, we only have one seat, only one seat!”

”Luo Shenfuer has already been taken advantage of by the 26-man committee, all of his proposals cannot be supported, can this kind of committee still guarantee the interests of our working class?”

”No!” ”No way!” The restaurant was filled with clamor. People angrily slapped the table, as cups of strong alcohol were poured down their throats.

”Yes!” Of course, they won't guarantee our interests. Their butts will always be on the side of the capitalists... No one will think about our interests, whether we're hungry or not, whether our children have access to education and health care... ”

”Even if we can buy coal this winter to keep warm, we can't guarantee anything. They're all just a bunch of bastards with insatiable greed!”

”Even the initial battle with the Chinese people was described as a conspiracy by them. They used it to splash dirty water on us. The final purpose of their attempt to mess up the people was to get rid of us from the government!”

”Comrades, we need to prepare for the worst case scenario in advance. We are of course patriotic, of course we are willing to cooperate with any reasonable people in the Republic … ”But we have to protect ourselves. We have to survive at least!”

”We were suppressed, but in the dark, we also have our own channels of communication. We will win over those who sympathize with us and love us, and fight for our side!”

”Don't think that they can control everything once they take over the council. As long as we mobilize the masses, we will definitely be the winner of the next parliamentary elections!”

The applause rang out. Everyone was in high spirits. Their hearts were filled with the flames of battle!

That night, the underground club, which had been sealed for a long time, started moving again. Almost every district had a left-wing club active, and the educated leftists were quickly gathered together.

The political history of the French clubs was very long. From the beginning of the Revolution, the Jacobins, the Girondins, and even the Hot Moon Faction and the royalist party Faction all had their own secret clubs.

These clubs are really a kind of disguised secret party, where people of similar ideas come together to discuss and supplement each other's ideas and formulate various plans of action.

Anyone who thought that their thoughts could control the political scene to become mainstream would naturally have conflicts and fights!

All powerful governments would spare no effort to suppress this private club, because they knew very well that these clubs were full of scholars who hadn't been able to rebel for three years. These clubs were all intellectuals, and it was precisely because of their knowledge that these people possessed the ability to seduce people.

Ordinary citizens and soldiers were debating over the issue, but these people had long spread their ideas, which naturally led to the decentralization of power.

Napoleon III had suppressed these private clubs during his reign!

On the one hand, and more importantly, these clubs will gradually influence voters' votes, and through this model they will be able to infiltrate Parliament.

Blanqui and the others ordered all the clubs on the left to return back to the surface. Their goal was clear enough, that they were going to compete with the right for the votes and win the next parliamentary elections.

Political groups had emerged overnight, and the radical journalist Valais had formed the first club in Belleville, at the headquarters of the pre-war public meeting, the Fawcett.
