C3232 Versailless Hot Pot (1/2)
As the President of a new Republic, instead of immediately heading to Paris to announce your inauguration, you chose to gather troops there in advance? You're saying that?
What are you doing? Why did they not go to Paris to work and instead put their offices in Versailles City under the noses of the German headquarters?
Wasn't it because they wanted to fight? It was because they wanted to brutally suppress the civil war!
Gan Bida, who was a representative filled with morals and righteousness, grieved in his heart, while Fa Fuer, who was a leader of a moderate faction, also sighed in regret. However, their powers were too weak, the entire French political scene was filled with the powers of the capitalists and the royalist party.
They were extremely satisfied with the President's decision, and waves of cheers came one after another!
This time, the people of Paris Commune were shocked awake. They finally understood that Thiers was just fawning on them previously, there were not many people who truly sympathized with them, they could only rely on themselves now.
Paris was surrounded by a tense atmosphere. The commune gave up on their fantasies and started preparing for battle. National Guard was gathered together and trained every day.
The secret strongholds of the communities in Montmartre plateau, the taverns and dilapidated inns, the remaining leaders of the communities took turns to hold meetings. However, without Blanqui holding the line, all sorts of ideas started to conflict among the various forces.
The leaders of the commune all had their own opinions. If they had any pessimistic requests, they would immediately negotiate with Thiers.
Some demanded resistance. Some even went out of the trenches and took the initiative to attack the enemy, and these people were attacked as radical adventurers.
For example, Raoult Rigo, this madman, had even said that he wanted to negotiate alone with Germany, and would even want to bring all of the warriors of the commune to break out of the siege.
He wanted to bring troops that could fight to the provinces of Arthas and Rolin. He wanted to separate from the France and build his own country. Even if he could not establish his own country, he had to establish his own base.
With this kind of whimsical nonsense, no one even bothered to divide their factions. They directly rushed forward to beat Li Gao up.
In the midst of this chaos, Paris welcomed spring. More and more French troops gathered outside the city, and even Germany gave part of the city's defenses to these people.
It was only at the beginning of March that the new President of France, Thiers, finally took the train to the Versailles.
After a short speech in front of the entrance, the reporter from the London Thames interviewed Thiers in public. ”Mr. President, may I ask why you want to work in the Versailles?
Thiers smiled and said, ”Sir, your question is indeed very sharp … I can answer you frankly because I am very disappointed with the security of Paris and I don't feel safe anywhere! ”
”Are you hinting at something? Is it that Archbishop Davabool has worried you? ” The reporter asked while shorthand.
At this time, Thiers was already preparing to leave, but after hearing the question, he stopped and turned his head back. No, no, no... I don't mean anything by it. I'm just stating a fact! ”
This was enough, the words were too clear, this was simply Thiers's declaration of war. The ecstatic reporters started to write their reports, they wanted to quickly send the news back home.
A black carriage was parked far away from the train station. Director Wang, who was watching everything from behind the curtain, said, ”Tell the kitchen to prepare some delicacies. I dare say that this President of France will be here tonight.”
