C3428 Blow through your hoax (1/2)
Boom! The entire French army exploded, and the military officers at the front all had pale faces, while the soldiers behind them all had their mouths wide open in disbelief.
Further behind them, countless soldiers had their necks lowered, so they couldn't hear what their comrades were saying. As the sound slowly traveled backwards, the army soon started buzzing like a swarm of flies.
Right now, there were more than two thousand five hundred French soldiers surrounding the General Governor's Mansion. They were in a stalemate with the three thousand Chinese people, and even half of the outer region of the General Governor's Mansion was slowly being surrounded by the army.
Of course, there were also those Saigon people who wanted to escape at the beginning. But as more and more soldiers gathered, they did not even dare to move, and could only crouch together trembling, begging for the Bodhisattva's blessing.
What Xiao Hexin wanted to expose was the true nature of these French soldiers. One was to destroy their morale, so they did not dare to resist.
The other was to put on a strong front in front of the people of Annan. Let me show you, even the French are obedient.
Actually what Xiao Hexin said was not a lie, but the true chaos in France right now!
In Xiao Hexin's speech, a true France and a true Paris political arena gradually appeared before everyone's eyes.
He was not lying. The France did not care about the life and death of these colonial soldiers at all, not to mention the fact that he did not even have any benefits right now.
Napoleon had already fallen into a crisis of power before the Franco-Prussian War. All of his internal and external troubles had come looking for him, especially the two natural enemies of the domestic republics and the workers' left wing, it made his head hurt even more.
The People's Republic of China requested for the rights of the National Assembly to be restored, and for elections to be held to amend the Constitution!
The workers were just demonstrating all day. If you touched them, it would immediately turn into a riot!
Your government will have to give us money if these opposition groups are to demand better benefits, but they keep on proclaiming violence to the public. Prussia is a little disobedient, and these people have joined forces to pressure the emperor for war.
It was a paradoxical mixture of demands for more welfare and the Emperor's military might to win the war.
You really want it, yet you want it even more!
How could there be such a good thing in the world? To increase the welfare of the people, increase the health care, education and Infrastructure, these were all considered investments within the family.
And a national war was an investment in military expenditures for external expansion!
Didn't they have to spend money both internally and externally? France was very rich, but how much money would the government and the emperor have now that they had settled in the hands of the commoners?
On one hand, they were cursing the Emperor for spending all his money in the treasury with military might, but on the other hand, facing the provocation from Prussia, they were even more ferocious than the Emperor. They kept shouting on the streets for war, for the sake of teaching the German a lesson!
Isn't that a contradiction? How can you call the Emperor a militarist and force him to fight?
On one hand, they were protesting against the capitalists for not giving them a raise in their wages, but on the other hand, they were cursing that the enterprises of the France did not have any international competitiveness at all. So many of their businesses had been snatched away by the Prussian.
Isn't this another contradiction? If you look for more enterprises to make a major profit, then how can the owners of enterprises have the money to compete with the merchants of other countries?
Since the money was already given to high welfare, how could he invest in new equipment to upgrade his technology or open up new markets?
The protester was indeed the protester, they only wanted to protest, but they never thought about how to solve the problem, never thought about where the money should come from.
It could be said that the French Emperor was forced into a chaotic war, and in the end, they had completely failed!
It had never occurred to the colonial soldiers on the outer seas that the country was in such a state of chaos that even a state government as important as war was forced into a hasty retreat.
