Chapter 758 The End of the Paris Commune

The sun sets in the west, and the sky is shining brightly on the earth, flashing a red light.

The artillery fire in Paris has ended, the government army has entered the city, and there are sporadic gunshots from time to time, which seems to be telling you the unwillingness of the revolutionaries.

Returning to Versailles again, Napoleon IV's heart was distraught. The magnificent palace in the past is now only a broken wall.

For Napoleon IV, Versailles was not just a palace, but the place where he was born and grew up. Suddenly the home is gone, and only those who have experienced it know the pain.

Perhaps out of revenge, the revolutionary government of Paris destroyed this palace, which symbolized imperial power, before it was overthrown.

In a sense, they succeeded. The Palace of Versailles is the symbol of the French monarchy. What has been destroyed is not just a palace, but also the supreme dignity of the imperial power.

Napoleon IV, whose face was pale, asked in a trembling voice, "Has the head of the chaos party been caught?"

At this moment, Napoleon IV has only one idea, to arrest the person who destroyed his "home" and burn his ashes to vent his hatred.

Police Minister Ansuoqi replied uneasily: "Not yet, it is said that on the third day of our attack, the leader of the chaos party ran away."

The fact that Paris was so easily captured was directly related to the escape of the head of the revolutionary party.

This is Paris, and there are too many buildings that make the government army daunted, and the heavy artillery is not dared to be used at all.

If it weren't for the loss of leadership, the troops in the city fought their own way. It would be trivial for this "Paris offensive and defensive battle" to last for a month or two. If the resistance was tenacious, it might last for a year and a half.

Good upbringing is worthless in the face of cruel reality. The angry Napoleon IV roared: "No one was caught, what are you doing here?

And hurry up and arrest me, if you can't catch the leader of the chaotic party, don't come back! "

There was only one word in Ansuoqi's mind, "After the Autumn Settlement". As Minister of Police, Ansoch is directly responsible for the revolution that has spread across the country.

As in previous revolutions, as long as the police are a little stronger, most of the time the situation will not develop to the worst level.

The ineffectiveness of the police is determined by the national conditions of France, and it is unfair to simply accuse the Minister of Police. But the world has never been fair, and Ansuoqi must bear this pot.

There are many reasons for the ineffectiveness of the police. Napoleon IV has no way to change this national situation, even if he replaces the entire police system.

Before returning to Paris, he needed to help each other, and no matter how dissatisfied he was, Napoleon IV had to endure it.

It should have been settled after a period of time, after the domestic situation stabilized. Now, stimulated by the destruction of the Palace of Versailles, I couldn't help it, and it broke out in advance.

Ansuoqi hesitated, the explanation was to cover up, things have already happened, no matter what the reason, the responsibility that should be taken still can't run away.

The arrest of the leader of the chaos party is just an excuse for him to resign. If the French police were so powerful, the revolutionary party would have vanished long ago.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After that, Ansuoqi left without looking back.

Looking at the distant back, everyone's hearts sank, and the sadness of the death of the rabbit and the fox spontaneously arises.

A rebellion needs someone to be responsible. For such a big mess, there must be a person of sufficient weight in the government to take responsibility, and this person must not be the emperor.

Napoleon IV is not yet in his thirteenth year, and there is no heir. If he takes responsibility and abdicates, the Bonaparte dynasty will be finished.

A minister of police is obviously not enough, but Napoleon IV did not appoint a prime minister, which makes things confusing.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, Terence Bourkin, the foreign secretary who needed the least responsibility, persuaded, "Your Majesty, the weather is late, let's settle down first!"

The Palace of Versailles has been turned into ruins and cannot be repaired in a short time. The emperor needs a new palace to live in.

...

Napoleon IV was still looking for a new home, and the British couldn't help it. Having seen the French government suppress the Paris Revolution, the British government wanted to intervene in the Near Eastern War.

At the cabinet meeting, Foreign Secretary George: "The Paris rebellion has been suppressed, the situation in France has stabilized, and the Italian Independence Organization will not last long.

Next, our diplomatic focus is the war in the Near East. Judging from the current situation, the Ottomans have performed very well.

Under the multi-line siege of the Anti-Turkish Alliance, they were able to retreat step by step in an organized manner, which has exceeded our prior expectations.

I propose to increase aid to the Sudanese government to help them withstand the first wave of the anti-Turkish coalition and crush the Austrian conspiracy. "

Prime Minister Gladstone frowned and asked incredulously: "My foreign minister, are you sure you are right? With Ottoman's strength alone, can he stop the offensive of the Anti-Turkish Alliance?"

The "first wave of offensive" was directly filtered into "offensive" by Gladstone. In Gladstone's impression, the ability of the Ottomans to survive the siege of the two empires was considered a super-level performance.

Foreign Secretary George replied confidently: "I can confirm that the news from the embassy is true.

The Ottomans resisted very fiercely, and now they are all soldiers, and the anti-Turkish alliance is advancing very painfully.

In the coastal areas of the Sea of ​​Marmara, the Ottoman army also defeated the anti-Turkish alliance many times and achieved not a small victory.

According to the current situation, as long as the supplies are sufficient, there is hope for the Ottoman Empire to persist for two or three years.

For such a long time, the French can almost breathe a sigh of relief.

At that time, we will join forces with European countries to put pressure on Austria to give up its plan to annex the Ottomans. The chances of success are very high.

No matter how bad it is, we can force Austria to accept the fact that Depp merged to form North Germany. "

On the issue of maintaining the balance of the European continent, the British Foreign Office has always been in the vanguard. It has always maintained the fine tradition of "whichever country on the European continent is the most powerful, it will suppress whichever country".

After hesitating for a while, Gladstone waved his hand and said, "Since you are so confident, let's try it.

I hope your plans go well and I look forward to hearing from you.

However, to support the Ottoman Empire, we still need to invest carefully, and we must consider sunk costs. "

Lack of confidence did not prevent Gladstone from accepting the plan. The British Empire is rich and powerful, and a little material is not a problem at all.

10,000 bullets, as long as it can wound or kill an Austrian soldier, the London government is making a fortune.
