C3257 the all-pervasive war of the people (1/2)
A chaotic battle cry came from the darkness, followed by two staggering figures rushing out from the homostomia, under the light of the torches, there were two men covered in blood.
Behind the two of them were twenty to thirty members of the commune chasing after them. These people were armed with bayonets and iron rods, and only had two or three rifles.
”Catch them and drown them in the Seine!”
”Surround him, outflank him!”
The two fugitives lifted their heads and saw the army. Immediately, tears of excitement filled their eyes. ”Save me …” We're plainclothes from the police station... We are spies... ”Save us …”
”Shoot!” Shoot! ” At the command of the President Guard Captain, dozens of rifles were fired at the guards and bullets were fired at them.
The members who were chasing after him never expected to encounter such a dense army of government soldiers here. They were all defeated in a single encounter.
”The enemy's firepower is too strong...” ”Retreat!”
The members of the society dragged the corpses of the dead and ran away with the wounded! Just as the soldiers of the presidential guard wanted to give chase, they were stopped by the German Company Commander.
”They are familiar with the terrain, don't chase... It's too dangerous. Protecting the President is more important! ”
Thiers looked at the two spies whose bodies were covered in blood and furrowed his brows. How could he expose his target? And he's even being hunted down? ”
By now, both of them knew that this was the new president of France. They forced themselves to heal the wounds as they replied, ”Exposed, all exposed, Your Excellency …” ”You don't know how terrifying these commune thugs are!”
”One of them, Raoult Rigo, ambushed the police headquarters in the chaos after his defeat. He stole a lot of plainclothes records …”
”Sixty percent of the net French Emperor set up in Paris has been exposed. Raoult Rigo took away one colleague after another with the secret file …”
”A lot of people couldn't stand the torture and the threats to their loved ones, so they had no choice but to submit to those thugs … This is how our identities were exposed. It was our peers who betrayed us … ”
The German Company Commander sneered and said, ”Didn't you surrender? How do we judge your loyalty? ”
”Sir, we don't have to rely on them... First of all, we don't have any relatives in Paris, so they can't threaten my family! ”
”In addition, we have been in charge of information on the outskirts of Paris. Our files are not located at the police headquarters in the city …” We were betrayed by our own people! ”
”There is no benefit in deceiving you. Your Excellency, for the sake of our injuries, please let us return to our homeland in the south. We have already been exposed, so we can no longer help the government …”
Thiers waved his hands irritably: ”Give them treatment, then send them back, then arrange work at their hometown …”
Thiers rubbed his hands together as he looked at the dark street in front of him. Paris had become a terrifying ghost, as if demons would appear with every step he took.
”Honorable President, it's best to not continue forward. This city is too dangerous …”
”No …” I still want to see for myself what kind of loss I have actually suffered.
In fact, he was also afraid of death, and he knew that it would be dangerous. But the outcome in Paris was related to his bet with Xiao Letian.
Why would he lose? Where was his mistake? There had to be an answer!
The answer was already written in the sea of the people's war. Along the way, the President had encountered four skirmishes, one on the left bank of Paris, the most heavily controlled area by the government.
