C3046 Trochu escaped (1/2)
Trochu and the group of 26 people were both on the first list to be protected. This time, they were the first ones to leave, but they never expected that at the final critical moment, Thiers would actually disappear!
The battlefield was chaotic. Could it be that the council members were dispersed by the army?
”Find!” Quickly find the council member. When the Republic was established, the council member contributed greatly to the country and it was his modesty that stabilized the situation. Now that we are about to break out, we have to take him away … ”
The soldiers of the guard battalion began to disperse to all corners of the battlefield, and some of them even returned to Paris to ride their horses and scout.
Where else could one find such a thing? The city of Paris was simply too big. One person disappearing from the city was like a drop of water melting into the sea.
Where is Thiers? Of course he wouldn't foolishly follow Trochu to break out of the encirclement.
At this time, Thiers had already sent away all of his possessions, and with nothing in hand, he snuck into the Shabelle School in the north. Under the protection of the smuggling squad, he quietly left Paris under the protection of the Chinese soldier's guards outside the city.
Looking at the exquisite sculpture and the mottled crater on it, he let out a long sigh. ”Goodbye Paris, the next time I will return here, I will definitely return as the number one person in France!”
A group of horses galloped over from the distance. The commanding Chinese general leading the pack looked at Thiers, ”My soldiers will protect you and bring you to the Versailles. You don't have to worry about your safety … But what about your promise? I want it now! ”
Thiers reached out his hat and nodded towards General Luo Huo, ”Honorable General, please give me a map!”
With a red, blue pencil in hand, Thiers drew a cross in the northern part of the town of Champigny.
”This is the General Command that had broken out of the encirclement. With this coordinates, I think you all should know what to do! ”
”But let me remind you, you just have to scare them off... ”There are many of my allies here. Without them, my future government will not be able to form a government!”
Luo Huo was originally a straightforward person, he did not need to rub sand in his eyes. What he hated the most were traitors, even if they were the enemies' traitors, even if this traitor was beneficial to his side, he would still look down upon them.
”Hmph …” Do you have any allies? Isn't allies used to sell? If they are all dead, wouldn't your secret be known by the entire world? ”
Trochu's skin was uncommonly thick, a politician would not care about ridicule. He righteously said, ”It looks like a general will never be able to become a politician in his entire life, your career will probably stop at Military!”
”What I have done, in the eyes of ordinary people, is to betray my master. However, in the eyes of the French Nation, in the eyes of this country, all that I have done is to scold the present and to perform meritorious deeds in the future!”
”Who does this country need to be saved? It is not a powerful army, nor is it a general that massacres tens of thousands of people, but politicians who know how to choose between the masses! ”
”What is the best choice for France right now? ”Even if we have to stop the war, we have to start negotiating. Even if we have to lose some benefits, we have to stop it!”
”The situation has reached such a stage that there is no chance for us to make a comeback. What were the commoners? They are all a bunch of hot-headed young men. For the sake of venting their anger, for the sake of satisfaction in their hearts, for the sake of the so-called face, they can fight without any care for the consequences … ”
”But what will be the end of the battle? Destroy this country, and let Industrial Revolution exhaust all of her wealth in the next two hundred years? ”
”Causing the France to be reduced completely to a useless country?”
