C2974 Destroying Paris (1/2)

Eugene was a relatively new breed of businessman, if not he would not have invested everything into the 19th century's top steel and machinery manufacturing industries. He was willing to accept any new technology as a test.

When the telegraph line began to cover the entire world, he had already spent a lot of money to build one for his factory. Although it was expensive, it was very convenient to do business.

Eugene always felt that he had a business mind. A telegraph s were expensive, but he could receive work from an outsider. At the end of the month, Eugene had actually found out that the telegraph not only did not lose money, they even made a profit!

He thought that after using the telegraph for free, he would be able to earn two bottles of money for the sake of drinking.

But now that war had come, his telegraph business was not as good as it was before. His business partners around the factory closed their doors one after another, and many business telegrams were also off.

Eugene had never been able to understand why the council member would need to come to his factory to send him a telegram from time to time even though he had a free telegraph. Furthermore, there were four mercenaries who had been guarding the telegraph for a long time.

Eugene did not understand, but he dared not ask. He knew that Thiers and the other important people had secrets, the most important thing in dealing with these people was to learn to shut up.

The more intense the battle, the more frequently Thiers would use telegraph, and this representative was becoming more and more mysterious, often entering and exiting the factory in the middle of the night.

Through the secret conversation between Eugene and Thiers, Eugene was now considered to be one of the representative's trusted aides. Even in the most critical moments, he had to act as the representative's messenger.

Eugene had only sent these telegrams filled with codes three or four times!

After sending the message to Thiers, Eugene didn't linger and turned around to leave. He was prepared to go and receive the representative Laoman, who knows if those crazy people would do anything bad to the representative.

But Eugene did not expect that the telegram would make Thiers lose his composure. Thiers's forehead was covered in beads of sweat as big as soybeans, and he was muttering non-stop: ”Too ruthless, this is too ruthless!”

”In order to force these people to submit, the Head of the Guards really did not hold back. He even thought of such a deadly scheme …” ”No, I have to prepare in advance!”

”Prepare the carriage, I want to go out …” ”God, these blind committees and those loathsome leftists, just you wait, I'll make you happy for a few months, and when I see you crying again …”

Of course, what Thiers received was Xiao Letian's secret message, he knew that French Emperor was about to be released, and had even secretly suggested some other bold plans.

The council members would not let go of any opportunity, he had to build up his momentum in advance, and under the protection of the guards that night, he secretly met with the members of the royalist party.

The defense system of the city walls was constantly being strengthened. The Prussian military camps and permanent fortifications outside the city were also being built, and in just three days of effort, a third of the area of Paris had already been tightly sealed by the Prussian army.

Everyone knew that the war would start sooner or later. The city gates which had not been sealed by the Prussian army had now become a chaotic swamp. The citizens who were preparing to escape out of the city were now fighting against the convoys that were trying to transport supplies to the city.

The adults cry out, the children cry out, the animals cry out … Self Guard and the regular army pushed their way through the crowd and tried to separate themselves as much as possible, but how could the tens of thousands of people who had their intestines blocked be separated so easily?

”Out of the way, out of the way …” This was the army's convoy of supplies. They were all used for war … If the battle is delayed, you will all go to jail! ”

”Let us out of the city …” You guys are the ones who disobeyed the rules and blocked the way, and you still dare to scold people? ”

The rich and middle-class citizens of the city had some methods, and those who were not tied down in the city also started to escape. Looking at the Prussian army's line of defense outside the city walls, they knew that they did not have much time to waste.

The people living in extreme poverty outside the city, as well as the miser slaves who were reluctant to part with their property, were still hoping to defend and await reinforcements!
