C2975 Bronze statue of Napoleon (1/2)
The bronze statue of Napoleon was finally unable to resist the crazy people's attacks, with a loud cracking sound, the statue's leg broke, and with a boom, it crashed onto the ground, causing the dust to fly into the air.
”Long live! ”Long live!” The crowd instantly went crazy. Thousands of onlookers rushed up and stomped on the War God's statue with their feet, spitting on it.
The soldiers in the distance turned their heads. They did not dare to look at this scene, and obviously did not dare to stop it!
The destruction of this statue announced the collapse of the spirit pillar of the France. Almost all the small statues in the entire city, whether they were marble or bronze, or were sculptures carved on the walls.
As long as it was a Bonaparte Family, everything would be severely damaged!
Loman's heart was bleeding. These were all treasures of art. They were incalculable treasures. Yet they were destroyed just like that? It did not hurt at all to be a bastard seller!
”Send the sculpture to the Steel plant outside the city, melt the cannon … ”Casting cannon …” The insane did not care if the bronze of the statue was different from the bronze of the cannon. They only had one thought at the moment, and that was to prepare for battle!
”Everything is going to be fuel for the war. It doesn't matter if you're a work of art, the most important thing is to melt it …”
Lawman spoke in a low voice to the police officer beside him. The plainclothes man immediately ran into the crowd and shouted, ”Send the Steel plant to Eugene, he knows how to forge cannons. Where would he find enough steel …”
The crowd could not tell who was shouting. At this moment, they were all just following the rules of the crowd. If someone suggested something, they could just carry it out. There were only a few factories that had built cannons, so there wasn't much choice.
The bronze statue was dragged away, and Napoleon's face rubbed violently against the stone slab, causing sparks to fly everywhere!
More soldiers rushed over from the distant city gate to maintain order. After three hours of hard work, the blocked street was finally open for traffic.
People were driving slowly to the right, those who wanted to escape could not stay, and those who wanted to enter could not be stopped!
, who had a depressed look on his face, went to find, the representative, in the afternoon. That's a big problem for me... Those people sent the statue to my factory and told me to melt the cannon... ”
”How can I have so many workers... Besides, what's the cost of burning the coke? ”I can't just work for nothing …”
”The most important thing is, I can't do it …” Napoleon's statue is about to melt? ”
Thiers did not directly answer Eugene's question. He stood at the window looking at the chaotic street in the distance and suddenly asked, ”Eugene … Do you know why the France's traffic rules are to the right? Why does Britain drive on the left? ”
”Huh?” Eugene was immediately stunned.
”Actually, the earliest traffic habits of humans were to the left, because this was a rule set by the ancient cavalry... ”In the Middle Ages, cavalry held shields and held reins in their left hands, while their right hands wielded precious swords …”
”Because most humans are right-handed. They are used to using their right hand... ”At this point, if you ride on the left side of the road, you'll be able to nimbly fight against the enemy with your right hand …”
”And why did we in France change that rule? ”Is it because of the great revolution? During the great revolution that overthrew the imperial power, in order to show that they were different, they fought with all their might to be different from the other feudal kingdoms …”
”Even the traffic rules have to be changed. Running to the left will eventually change to driving to the right... In that era, moving in a certain direction was actually not a habit, but an attitude! ”
