C3256 Inaccessible Dinner (2/2)
What a messy dinner it was. On the left bank of the chaos of Paris, some troops kept watch over a truckload of raw meat and timber, but others got a truckload of cheese without any rations.
What was even more laughable was that the grenadier's Third Battalion was actually given a cart full of red wine. The large oak barrel was filled with Bordeaux red wine that had been in existence for more than three years.
The Battalion Commander was dumbfounded. ”That …” My soldiers have been starving all day. Why don't you at least order some bread and sausages? I'm not saying that red wine is bad, but this thing is not as hungry as it sounds! ”
The logistics officer was close to tears. ”My friend, please forgive me...” ”We really can't get any food. Our purchasing staff has already run 40 kilometers away to the warehouse to transport the goods …”
”Please make do with it first. I guarantee that you will all drink oatmeal for breakfast!”
A Battalion soldier starved as he looked at a cart full of red wine, dumbfounded. The Battalion Commander let out a long sigh, ”Drink!” It was better than nothing! ”Drinking to ease my worries …”
After a messy dinner, all the troops became merchants. You exchange a piece of meat with me, I will exchange a bottle of wine with you, and a piece of bread with him … It seemed to be abundant, but the total amount it provided was far from enough to cover the needs of the five Heavy Infantry Masters.
The amount of food distributed to each soldier was pitifully small!
Thiers, who was worried about the war at the front lines, could no longer sit still. He ordered the guards to prepare a carriage.
”None of you stop me! Get out of the way... I must share the hardships with the soldiers! ”
”The peace of the Republic will ultimately depend on these warriors... I can't rush to the front line, can't I see the wounded soldiers? ”
”If you have time to block the way, prepare to leave with the carriage!”
In the end, the President's guards could not handle him. A company of elite cavalry guards escorted Thiers's carriage into Paris.
Thiers's sudden movement also stunned the surrounding German army. A captain at the front assigned a company of German Army s to accompany him to protect them without even asking for permission!
The two hundred plus people finally gave Thiers a sense of security, and the convoy quickly advanced towards the Bourbon's palace!
But the moment he entered the city, Thiers's heart went completely cold!
The entire city was in chaos. Strange sounds could be heard everywhere, and only a few blocks away, there was the sound of a brief exchange of fire.
Just as they were moving forward, a carriage rolled down the street, blocking the path. The injured soldiers were on the roadside, crying out for help, ”Save me …” ”Brother, save me …”
”I'm delivering bread to the front line... ”But all the bread was taken by the communes thugs …”
”Black mass of over a hundred soldiers with guns, killing my comrades and breaking my legs …” ”He stole a cart full of bread!”
”Sir...” Master... Save me... ”Send me out of the city …”
Before the guards could come forward to help, there was a small alley in the direction of 10 o'clock. Suddenly, a large group of people rushed out!
