C3030 Paris Mad City (2/2)

The city was in an uproar. People were singing and dancing as they rushed up the street. In that moment, they forgot about hunger, forgot about the increasingly cold weather, forgot about their class … Everyone huddled together, singing Marseille's melody and dancing happily.

Even the tavern was reopened, and many hidden wines were once again sold. The last coins in people's pockets were turned into stimulants to stimulate their brains.

In stark contrast to the emotions of the people, Trochu and the other high officials of the government, other than Gan Bida, all the other 25 members of the committee were present at the emergency meeting of the Interim Defence Government.

Trochu said with a heavy expression. ”Gentlemen! First of all, we would like to congratulate Minister Gan Bida on his glorious victory... But at the same time, we must also take note of the boiling public sentiment throughout the city! ”

”I think from tomorrow onwards, the people will once again pressure us to leave the city for the final battle!”

”Looks like this battle is unavoidable. We need to prepare ourselves … ”How can we stabilize the hearts of the people in this city without losing any strength …”

Without waiting for Trochu to finish speaking, Committee member Luo Shenfuer who was close to the left jumped out and retorted, ”Preposterous! What do you mean by that? Why do you say that you have to stabilize the hearts of everyone in the city without losing any strength? ”

”In your heart, isn't this war a final battle with the Prussian? but a war between you and the people? ”

”I understand. From the beginning to the end, you only wanted to conserve your strength …” Because these one hundred and eighty thousand garrison unit s in Paris are your direct descendants, you are much more afraid of the dead, and it will affect your future distribution of power in the Republic … Isn't that right? ”

Hi... This was truly slapping them in the face! The people from the left wing might have already lost their patience with Trochu, but to think that they would disregard dignity and head straight for the meeting!

Was Luo Shenfuer right? Right, that's not right!

Because Trochu thought about many things as well, of course he had the intention of protecting his own strength, because the newly established Republic was all for show. Whoever had the most power would have more power in the future.

At the moment, there were only three main groups in the whole of China, the one hundred and seventy thousand people where Ba Zan was in the Salon, the one who was in the Orleans, and the one who was in the last person was Trochu's Paris garrison.

As for the other leftists and guerrillas, they were not under the consideration of the high officials of the Republic. Sooner or later, these forces would have to be eliminated.

These three legions were the three important components of the republican army after the war. Whoever stole more officials would naturally gain the upper hand in politics.

Of course, Trochu had his own little schemes, but it wasn't all for personal gain. On the other hand, he truly didn't have the confidence to fight in the wild at this moment in Paris.

From a purely military point of view, Paris' only right option at the moment was to hold on to it, and that was the best option.

With these two considerations in mind, Trochu decided to avoid battle!

But who would have thought that, ah, that the representative of the left side would actually disregard dignity and tear off all decorum, directly exposing Trochu's first selfish thought!

This time, Trochu's group of representatives were completely enraged, they stood up and surrounded Luo Shenfuer, denouncing him!

”Damn it, what do you know about war? Outside of the city, the three hundred thousand Prussian army s are gathered together in an elite field army. You have been talking about the decisive battle, do we have the confidence to win? ”

”You don't know anything, and only know how to use public opinion to pressure the government. The country was ruined by people like you!”

”Even if the Second Empire were to start a war against Prussia blindly, it would be because of you stupid mob! If you hadn't gone to the streets every day to parade and pressure the Emperor, you wouldn't have taken the initiative to declare war! ”

”Unrealistic nationalistic youth... Stupid country! ”To mislead our country!”
