Chapter 996 Paris Is Crying

"The international community is putting us under a lot of pressure. Now is our chance. We should end this damn war as soon as possible!"

...

"No! Paris is a mess right now, and anyone who falls into it will be buried. If you listen carefully, you will know that the city is short of food.

Rebels cannot afford to support refugees, and neither can we. You must know that we have resettled 3 million refugees successively. If another 1 million come, the scene is unimaginable! "

...

"Don't say it so scary, as long as you find a way, the problem can always be solved. The international community keeps urging us to end the war quickly, and now is the best opportunity."

...

"The premise of ending the war is that you can afford to support so many refugees! After the scourge of the rebellious party, it is estimated that all the people in Paris will now become refugees.

We don't have that much food in our hands, and even immediate procurement from abroad will take time. If the rebels burn down the granaries in the city, they will really win the jackpot. "

...

Everyone was arguing endlessly, which hurt Carlos. As the king's reserve, it is really not suitable for him to intervene at this time.

If you support the attack, you will cause trouble for yourself; if you oppose the siege, you will be accused of dying.

The essence of disputes within the aristocratic group is still because of interests. Vienna can persuade the three major royalist parties on the issue of heirs, but there is no way to help in the division of interests.

When it comes to vital interests, no matter who you are, you must stand up and fight for it. The current situation is very obvious. The nobles of the orthodox faction are all opposed to the siege, while the nobles of the other two factions support it while others oppose it.

In essence, this also involves the issue of betting. The orthodox faction has always been a supporter of the Bourbon dynasty, and has placed a heavy bet on Carlos early on. Once the restoration succeeds as a major hero, they will definitely get the biggest piece of the pie.

The other two factions were different. Those who reacted quickly placed bets, while those who reacted slowly did nothing, and the battle for the throne was settled.

After the civil war broke out, the aristocrats who had already placed their bets had money to contribute money and others to contribute people, and became the core of this aristocratic coalition army; although other nobles also made great efforts, they were still a step late and were in a secondary position in the coalition army.

If the restoration is completed smoothly in this way, then in the future construction of the French government, the current situation will basically be the same. The core is still the core, and the fringe is still on the fringe.

Some aristocrats who are not satisfied with the status quo are now clamoring to break through Paris, preparing to take over the millions of mouths in the city.

The food in the hands of the provisional government was limited, and the nobles who supported Bourbon had already donated generously in order to relieve the refugees. Now that there are so many mouths suddenly added, there will definitely be problems with the food supply.

Once the food supply is insufficient, the opportunity will come. To survive the food crisis, the provisional government had to seek help from the nobles who had food, and these marginalized people could return to the center of power.

Power struggles have always been cruel, and now the people in Paris have unfortunately become the focus of the game between the two sides. No one knows what the final result will be. The only thing that is certain is that this quarrel will not end for a while.

The reserve king is not yet a king, no matter how many supporters there are, as long as he is not formally enthroned for a day, Carlos cannot exercise the power of the king.

Apart from reconciling the conflicts of all parties as much as possible, Carlos, the reserve king, can do nothing in essence, and he is slightly better than the mascot.

...

The noble group was arguing endlessly, but the situation in the city was completely out of control. Once Pandora's box is opened, it is very difficult to close it.

Danielle's bitter plan has now become a tragic drama. There is no way, he just calculated the first step correctly, but overestimated the efficiency of the noble group.

The chaos in Paris is indeed the best time to send troops to attack the city, but sending troops also needs to be discussed by all parties, and it is not whoever has the loudest voice to listen to.

Then, a tragic scene happened. The bait is almost soaked, and the fish are still sleeping at home.

If there is no such thing as high speed, people are still busy with meetings. Even if an agreement is reached, so many landmines outside the city cannot be cleared in a short time.

The coalition of nobles can write ink, but the situation in the city cannot wait. The people of Paris, who failed to protest, launched an uprising again in a rage. Whether he likes it or not, Danielle must suppress the rebellion first.

It can be imagined that the later scenes must be difficult to sing. They didn't trick the aristocratic coalition army in, let alone turn defeat into victory, and they didn't even have a chance to run away.

Not everyone is as passionate as Danielle, willing to give everything for the revolution, and more people are still for their own wealth and lives. The reason why everyone agrees with this unreliable bitter plan is mainly to create an opportunity to escape.

To be able to become a high-ranking member of the revolutionary government, the background is not too low, and there must be no shortage of connections, or else he would have met God long ago.

The French nobles are not monolithic, as long as they are willing to spend money, it is not a problem at all to find a way. If it doesn't work, you can still buy the road from the Russians.

It's just that there is a prerequisite for all of these, the landmines outside the city must be destroyed first. That thing doesn't know people, so whoever steps on it will blow up.

Originally, they were going to drive the refugees to visit Lei, but they were stopped by Danielle. Perhaps because they realized that artificial thunderstorms are unreliable and the future troubles are very serious, everyone accepted the "bitter trick" plan like a good one.

It's a pity that the plan didn't change quickly. The big show has already started, but the audience is blocked outside. This performance is regarded as

Wasted.

The chaotic people are definitely not the opponents of the regular army. Even the revolutionary army is also a mob, but it is a mob with weapons, and it is not something ordinary people can fight.

But the people have no way out, either starve to death, or give it a go, they can only do their best to survive.

In order to gain the support of the coalition forces outside the city, the rebel army even played the banner of the Bourbon dynasty. From nowhere, a nobleman appeared and became the temporary commander-in-chief of the rebel army.

Naturally, there was an effect. After discovering the existence of his own people, Carlos, who was the reserve king, still used his own energy and used the airship to sell a batch of weapons and equipment to the rebel army.

Forget the food, Carlos is not stupid, he knows what the rebel army is, and holding weapons and equipment can cause trouble for the enemy; if the food is thrown down, maybe they will do it first.

This can be seen from the attack direction of the rebel army, all of which are aimed at food. The so-called strategic locations, government buildings and bank buildings are all neglected.

The most tragic scene happened. A great battle broke out around the granary rebel army and the government army. For a while, the streets and alleys of Paris were filled with shouts and killings.

Blood flowed down the sewer, staining the Seine red. The red river watermark looks particularly bleak in the autumn. Since then, the French no longer eat fish in the river.

The battle continued from morning till night. The blood makes people lose their minds, and the situation is completely out of control in the constant fighting.

"Screw it!"

This was the first reaction in Daniel's mind. At this point, even if the fish were hooked, they would not be able to catch the net.

Danielle never dreamed that the revolutionary government would stand on the opposite side of all the people in the city. You must know that the original plan was only to sacrifice some worthless refugees, not all Parisians.

It's a pity that the bureaucrats below don't think so. Once greed arises, it can no longer be stopped. Since relief food for refugees can be deducted, relief food for citizens can also be deducted, it is nothing more than the degree of oppression.

As the people of Paris with the most revolutionary spirit in the world, how could they accept such humiliation. Seeing that the refugees started an uprising, many people joined in in a daze.

At this point, there is nothing more to say. Both sides are covered with each other's blood, and it will only end when one side falls.

"A revolutionary government that plays itself to death." As long as he thinks of the evaluation that future generations may give, Danielle is in a bad mood.

Of course, they are also alone. If you open the history books of France, you will find that there are several similar revolutionary governments. They are not the first, let alone the last. Even if they are negative teaching materials, they are accompanied by others.

In a sense, the melee in Paris is both accidental and inevitable. Since the siege of the noble allied forces, Paris, which was short of food, was doomed to cry.
