C3023 Radmiros challenge (1/2)
Radmiro's question caused everyone present to fall silent for a moment!
Yes, which country are we loyal to? Empire or this Republic? Don't forget that from the very beginning, all the soldiers were personally trained by the emperor's empire, and from the very first day of enlistment, they had all been paid by the emperor.
And the Republic? Until now, there had not been a single government official who had contacted him. Even the status of these 170,000 people had not been clearly fulfilled.
The soldiers didn't know what the future held, and the officers didn't know what the future held!
Would he be able to keep his iron rice bowl? Would the Nobility lose it? Even if he could survive or not, there were no answers to these questions.
The current situation was extremely embarrassing. It was possible that when the major change s of any country fell, there would be this kind of chaos, and the war was even more chaotic.
For a new republic to still have yet to make an inventory of the empire's legacy and to accept it, leaving a total of 170,000 people hanging out in the open for a month, was a mistake in itself.
After the war, Xiao Letian had specially published a book to analyze the causes and effects of the entire Franco-Prussian war as well as the process between them.
The key to regime change was to have a stable morale. The most important thing to the legacy of the previous regime was to have the military command!
The Interim Defence Government that General Trochu led was simply too inexperienced, they actually did not manage to settle the issue of treatment for the Second Empire's veterans at the first possible moment.
If it was Xiao Letian who made the decree for the new nation, the first rule would be to issue a general amnesty. First, he had to make it clear that he would not be held accountable for the culprits of the Second Empire!
It was not that they had no principles, but that they needed to calm their morale. It did not matter how many uprisings were suppressed by the Second Empire, or how many civilians were killed by those armies.
The main culprit was still French Emperor and the others. The crime of being coerced was not big, at least compared to the huge mission of receiving the country's stability, it was very small.
How many people were in the Second Empire's Veterans Group? At least five hundred thousand. With so many unstable factors, if you don't stabilize yourself first, do you still want to win the battle?
Thus, the first general amnesty was to pacify the entire army so that they would have no fear of the new Republic.
The second point is to clarify the treatment of the officers of these armies, at least to ensure that their ranks do not drop, and you can't tell the truth about it, at least not during the Franco-Prussian War.
Uncleared, not demoted... As for the adjustment of nobility treatment, they could slowly discuss it later!
This way, the morale of the troops was set, only the Southern Legion organized by Gan Bida and the others could fight together!
With the's morale during the war, it could be said that in this nation, the longer the war, the more advantage they had!
The news of the Orleans's victory had already encouraged the south of France, and there would be more colonial armies coming, at that time, there would definitely be a strong army approaching the Mace.
That would be a great time for the Mace to break out of the encirclement. Once the Northern and Southern Legions reunited, the France would have hundreds of thousands more elite troops.
Wasn't a game of chess a living thing?
It was a pity that Trochu was not a civil servant, he was not good at settling such a responsible political situation, and wanted to change the dynasty! This was not a game that ordinary people could play.
