C2974 Destroying Paris (2/2)
They had to transport all the supplies available outside the city to the city. They had to prepare for a long period of time. Flour, barley, wine, sugar, spices, meat products … Even the cattle farms outside the city had been moved in.
Groups of cattle and sheep passed beneath the Arc de Triomphe. These were the food that was indispensable during wartime!
Senator Lawman is now appointed material dispatcher for the West Side, so he has to keep order on the streets and coordinate warehouse managers.
With two dark circles under his eyes, Roman finally had the protection of four policemen today. If not for Eugene being there in time yesterday, Roman would probably be in even worse shape than he was now.
He had never seen any worker leaders, and those Self Guard soldiers who could not read a word or two could not understand what this representative was saying.
In any case, they were angry because of these well-dressed officials. Moreover, with the establishment of the Republic, the committee had reserved a seat for the leftists. This made the soldiers hate these people even more.
The skilled worker did not arrive, but instead received two punches, two eyes staring at the black circle, which was saved by Eugene who arrived in time.
The moment they left, they looked at the pitch black Montmartre plateau. They suddenly realized that they had become a nation within the France, a land in Paris!
”Sorry, Mr. Eugene, I didn't find any workers for you … ”But I will continue to think of a way. A city of 2 million people, I don't believe I won't be able to find a group of skilled workers …”
Eugene let out a long sigh, ”So what if we find it? ”Everyone's heart is in their throats. They're all floating on the water. Even if they're allowed to enter the factory, it's useless. No one can work in peace …”
The truth proved Eugene's judgement. On the second day, when the committee heard the news that Lawless had been beaten up twice, they were furious and immediately assigned four policemen to protect the security of the council members.
Only then did Roman have the courage to walk out onto the street and continue his work, but what was happening on the street was utterly disheartening to him!
Destruction, destruction everywhere!
Those workers who should have been produced in the factory, had now become the King of Destruction!
Vendome Square, the tall bronze statue of Napoleon was tied with a thick rope again. The worker Self Guard had wanted to destroy this statue three times already, but because the statue was too sturdy, he was never able to succeed.
Napoleon's ankle and calf were even slightly deformed by the previous rope. But this time, countless Self-Defence Force tied up the sculpture with ten ropes, all the way to his neck.
Over three hundred able-bodied workers pulled the ten ropes and under the cheers of countless women, they crazily unleashed their strength under the orderly sound of the horn!
”One, two, three …” ”Pull!”
”One, two, three …” ”Long live!”
”Cut off the heads of all the emperors and generals... One Two Three... ”Pull!”
There were even more than ten Self-Defence Force who jumped onto the base of the sculpture and used their axes to slash at Napoleon's legs.
Roman painfully closed his eyes and helplessly shook her head, ”Crazy, they're all crazy! No one will think of how to deal with that terrifying airship, but they all have the energy to destroy the French Nation's wealth … ”
”Everyone is crazy …” ”Everyone's gone crazy …”
