C2967 Thiers forced him to fight! (1/2)

Thiers didn't listen to Trochu's analysis, it wasn't because he didn't understand military affairs, but the opposite. In fact, it was because he had a very deep understanding of military affairs.

The best choice he had right now was to rely on the city for the defense. Given the size and population of Paris, it would be extremely difficult for Prussian to bite into it.

As long as we hold on to Paris, continue to bleed for the Prussian, then buy time for the formation of the Southern Regiment, and use this time to exchange space … That final victory would definitely belong to the France.

But this result was not what Thiers wanted, absolutely not!

F * ck! Did you, Trochu, win the last war? Then what should I do? How can I climb up? This is completely contrary to my plan!

What I want is a big loss for you, if you, Trochu, don't lose, how am I going to fight on stage?

As long as you, Trochu, are defeated, this committee of yours will lose the will of the people, and I don't have to do anything to stop you from being impeached by Blanqui and the rest.

All the people of Paris will abandon you. How many will there be left on the 26-member council? All of you are already out of the way, so there's no chance for me to step onto the stage!

At that time, the people will have no choice but to choose me, who has the highest reputation left!

So for my cause, you, Trochu will lose!

Thiers took a deep breath and calmed himself down: ”General, I admit that my military capabilities are lacking, but the political environment in Paris is getting worse!”

”The Provisional Defence Council has only been set up a few days ago, and it is a time when the people are unsettled. If we don't retreat in the face of the enemy …” Will the Left cause any trouble? ”

”Furthermore, tonight, only vanguard unit from the Prussian have come. According to the reports from the sentries on the front lines, there are only around seven to eight thousand people. Even if we were to move on later in the night, the number of enemies tomorrow morning would not exceed twenty thousand.”

”With such a small amount of manpower, as long as we make up our minds, why can't we eat? ”Winning this battle will definitely raise the hearts of the people …”

Thiers thought that he had given sufficient reasons, but he never would have thought that the old general had really steeled his heart today!

”No, no, no …” ”Councilor, stop trying to persuade me otherwise. We absolutely cannot fight in this battle!”

”Eat these vanguard unit s? How could that be possible, that group of cavalrymen … How did the National Guard suffer a loss in the Chinese? ”

”Even if they can't move, they can still run!”

”To take ten thousand steps back, even if we could really eat these vanguard unit s, and wipe out the pioneers of Prussia's twenty thousand people … If that really happens, our relationship with the Prussian will completely worsen! ”

”Bismark will definitely fight to the death with us. Don't forget that we still have two to three hundred thousand soldiers trapped in the enemy territory! Don't forget that the vast lands of the Northeast are in the hands of the enemy... ”

”What if they take revenge on our civilians and soldiers?”

”Politics has to be considered... This battle will require Prussian to retreat and not completely infuriate them. We must not force them to go insane … ”

”It's difficult, it's really difficult …”

F * ck! Thiers cursed in his heart: ”This stubborn old fogey, your considerations are still quite far away, do you really think that you are the savior of the France? ”You want to sign a truce?”

”That is my honor. This war must end at my hands. This is my historical mission … Damned old bastard, you dare to steal my contribution? ”
