C3049 The Hungry Paris (2/2)
The situation had already gone out of control. They might still be able to tolerate the failures on the battlefield, but they could not tolerate the hunger. They could not sit by and watch the citizens starve to death!
For the sake of food, Blanqui had already gone to see Trochu thrice, and these three times, intense conflicts had erupted! Blanqui asked Trochu for food, but Trochu refused to give it to him. The last few warehouses were all military supplies, and could only be used by the troops.
”Stop bothering me!” Right now, the soldiers at the front lines can only drink potato skin soup every day, they still have to fight, and the Prussian has to open fire every day. I can't let the soldiers not even be able to pull the trigger! ”
”But the citizens? Hundreds and thousands of people die from cold and hunger every day. The cold has already started to spread, and as the leader of the Interim Government, you have to solve this problem! ”
”Hehehe …” Trochu laughed, and let out a miserable laugh, ”Let me settle this? Do you think I can produce grain? ”No,
”If you can't do it, hand over your rights! China does not need you to be an incompetent person to lead them! ”
Trochu waved his hand, ”Stop dreaming, I have seen clearly what kind of virtue you two are … Right now, no one can do anything about this dead end. The situation when I step down from the stage can only be more chaotic! ”
”Take care of your men and save your strength. The last thing to do during the demonstration will be the exhaustion of your physical strength!” ”Don't think I don't know what you guys are doing …”
”What happened to the vehicles that came up late at night in the Shabelle Gate? ”You so-called patriots, you are still trying to make enemies behind the scenes!”
”Defamation!” This is slander! Trochu, don't make a mistake! ”
The furious Blanqui and the others turned around and left. After that, no one came to negotiate with Trochu anymore.
Trochu watched as these people left the residence. He gritted his teeth and said fiercely, ”The Republic of China cannot be handed to you, it absolutely cannot …”
”Send down my order to the entire army, if these people dare to use violence during a demonstration! ”Then immediately suppress them, I authorize you to shoot at any time …”
The old general was furious. During this period of time, all he could hear were complaints. All of Paris's middle class and capitalists were already living in hell.
The commune's Material Management Department was a group of living robbers. They charged into the homes of the rich to take away all the valuable items. After that, they were all confiscated and distributed again.
Even if you said that you would confiscate some food and clothes, people would still understand. However, they would never think that these people would be the culprits.
rich people's antiques, paintings, sculptures, exhibits, gold and silver ware... They were all robbed!
”Trochu has figured it out, these Montmartre plateau robbers are just robbing to survive! Those precious cultural relics have all been smuggled into the hands of the Chinese through the Shabelle Gate! ”
”Right now, the Montmartre plateau has more food than the regular army, and you still want to ask me for supplies? Too greedy! This is too greedy! ”
The contradictions between classes grew deeper and deeper. The representative of the bourgeoisie, General Trochu, was already on the verge of exploding. If he did not stand up for his supporters now, he would never have the chance to be in the political scene again!
Blanqui did not know that Paris was on the verge of a civil war. At that moment, he suddenly received a secret invitation.
The anxious Blanqui did not know what kind of medicine the Chinese were trying to pull off!
