C3256 Inaccessible Dinner (1/2)

As night fell, the day's battle finally came to an end. Only a few sounds of gunfire could be heard from the streets, probably due to the members of the commune catching the spies of the government forces.

From the beginning, the whole city had been filled with people like you and me. Even though the commune was quite powerful at the moment, they were still unable to control the entire city.

Since the time of the Empire, the Government Army had stationed a few barracks in the city. The first were the imperial guards of the Emperor, the imperial guards stationed there to guard the capital's division. After the fall of the Empire, the Interim Government would take over these fortresses.

These military camps and fortresses had never allowed anyone from the Paris Commune s to take over, because from the depths of their bones, no other government in the Republic ever trusted these people.

However, during the short period when the Interim Government had collapsed and Thiers's new government was established, Blanqui's men took advantage of the government's lack of defense to occupy a few military camps. However, most of them were on the right bank.

The left bank of Paris, especially the surroundings of the Bourbon's palace, was still under the control of the Government Army.

Unfortunately, the situation was too loose, and there were too many loopholes. The big picture of yours had never changed!

No matter how tragic the battle was, people still had to eat no matter what they did. The sky was wide and the earth was vast, and before the day had even begun, the soldiers on both sides had already used up all their energy. Many of the tired soldiers who were sitting on the ground could not even get up and were panting heavily.

The left bank had now become a large military camp, where wounded soldiers and commanders could still hide, while even more soldiers could only take up residence or sleep on the streets.

No one had expected such a result. From the day the battle plans were drawn up yesterday, everyone had thought that they were only seizing a batch of cannons. No matter what, the conflict wouldn't escalate.

The staff department and the logistics department prepared the supplies according to the strength of 20 battalions. They had only prepared 20 battalions. No one expected that the final scale would be 5 full divisions.

Thiers's government was originally a government that had just been established, the work of the various departments were not working at all, and many of the departments did not even have the basic personnel structure.

With such a drastic change in events, everyone was flustered. Just the food prepared for the five divisions was an extremely huge project!

It was not easy to prepare food for the five divisions, where to mobilize the food, how to process it, how to transport it to the city, and how to distribute it to the soldiers.

To put it bluntly, the troops had all been thrown into disarray, and even the logistics officer would find it difficult to find a special battalion of garrisons!

Because of this dinner, Thiers had already smashed his office twice, even his own dinner … Although Thiers was not born a soldier, his current fate was completely linked with the army.

Without victory, he would not have his presidential career, nor would he have his long-term goal of restoring an empire and bestowing rewards upon the aristocrats!

His life, his wealth, and even the future of the clan! It was all tied to victory. If the army won the war, then everything was possible. If they couldn't win the war, then all their struggles would just be sh * t!

The President was already in the frying pan. He had ordered the logistics department to make sure that the soldiers ate their meals at all costs. If the soldiers couldn't have dinner by nine o'clock in the evening, then all the officers of the General Staff and the Logistics Department must be brought to justice!

Under the iron order, no matter how lazy the bureaucrats were, they did not dare to be negligent. All the government departments were mobilized, and the carriages that were transporting supplies to the city were in an endless stream.

If there was anything you could give me, sausages, fresh meat, bread... There were even raw oats and barley!

Before the troops could figure out how to process these raw ingredients, another ten carriages pulled in some firewood and charcoal, meaning that it was enough to let the soldiers have some barbecue.
