C3039 Negotiating Emissary Thiers (1/2)
Blanqui was very clear that Paris garrison did not shoot, but sent Representative Thiers to negotiate. This meant that Trochu did not completely fall out with him.
Thiers was a very sinister person, and these kinds of people were all good at camouflage. At the critical moment of an empire's collapse, Thiers had used a 'retreat in order to advance' devious scheme, instantly pushing his prestige from a third-rate politician to the position of a first-rate politician.
Everyone was praising Thiers's high and mighty character. Although this kind of noble character did not even need to be carried by the left wing, Thiers had indeed pushed away his position in the 26 people's committee, such people made it difficult for Blanqui and the rest to act ruthlessly.
Thiers being the lobbyist was extremely appropriate!
The sandbag at the entrance of the street had a gap opened up, and only Thiers's horse carriage was allowed to enter, following that, it was quickly blocked, and the muzzle of the rifle was pointed towards the outside.
Thiers looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar armed street in Montmartre plateau, and let out a long sigh: ”This is a big threat! ”If these people don't get rid of them, there will be endless riots in the future …”
Not long after, the carriage stopped in front of the old tavern. Thiers jumped off the carriage, protected by the loyal mercenaries beside him.
”Dear Mr. Blanqui, your actions last night were really too reckless. Doing this would be extremely bad for our country …” Thiers did not stand on ceremony as he went straight to the point.
”Ba Zan's surrender is indeed a disaster, but what does this have to do with the Interim Defence Government? To launch an attack on the government is only to make those close to you feel faster! ”
”You are not an ignorant citizen. You are well aware of the current state of chaos in the country... Don't you know that old General Trochu has no way of ordering him? ”
”Don't you understand? Ba Zan and the rest will always be royalist party! This is the royalist party's counterattack, and you actually threw the blame onto the Right Faction? Is that fair? ”
”They are actually shouting slogans to abolish the national defense government? Do you think you are the Council of France? ”Even if you have the advantage of numbers, you only represent the workers of Paris. You cannot represent the entire French people!”
Blanqui blushed a little, ”I am very sorry about what happened last night, but I have to state one thing. I did not give the order for this whole thing to happen, it was something the people organized on their own due to anger …”
”Last night, I also gave the order to maintain order … After all, General Trochu did not appear on the scene yesterday, and the 26 people council members have all disappeared! ”
Once the two entered the arena, they began to fight with their swords raised, the workers on the left side stared angrily at Thiers, one of them angrily shouted!
”The composition of the Provisional Defence Council was unfair to begin with. Is there only one seat for us on the left side of the country?”
”Is it because you have the government that these cowards and traitors are in disarray? Ba Zan is a traitor, what do you have to be proud of! ”
”Up until now, has Trochu launched an attack that exceeded ten thousand people? Why didn't they start a war? What's the use of having such an impotent Interim Government? ”
”Yes, that's right! A useless government will have to fall. You are all cowards and traitor! ”
Thiers's mouth was crooked from anger. ”Shut up!” He shouted, ”Stop yelling at me! Do you want to throw dirty water on my head? ”
”I have exhausted my heart for the sake of the Republic. I have given up my authority for the sake of the general situation, for the sake of the stability of the country! It's not for you to scold them! ”
”The reason why you have so few seats in the council is because of yourselves! Don't even think about putting the blame on us... If you have the ability, go to Cassel and find French Emperor! ”
”Go and ask him why he oppressed you all those years ago. Why don't you give your council a seat? Don't anger the other councilors too much! Do you want to negotiate or not? If you don't want to talk about me, then leave.
”Worse comes to worse!”
