Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

What is France's greatest contribution to the world? I think that many Historian s will be the first to step up to French Revolution!

Although this revolution is full of blood, violence, chaos... However, it was undeniable that it was this revolution that had opened the curtain on the mortal world.

Almost all of the political rights that our modern man possesses originate from that revolution, because it was during that revolution that the concept of natural rights was proposed.

Before that, the human world had no concept of the equality of all people. The differentiation of levels was not even a oppression, but a way of life's common sense.

At that time, the people at the bottom were ruled by the nobles, but in their heart, they didn't have any thoughts of resisting. Instead, they felt that it was a matter of course, and even working for the nobles was normal.

People in the 21st century could not understand how ignorant they thought their ancestors were! But in that era where divine power and feudalism weighed heavily on people for thousands of years, what choice could mortals make?

It was only during the Great Revolution that the French first granted the natural person the right to live and humanity. Finally, they released the shackles on the mortals, causing all the divine rights and feudal aristocracy to tremble in fear.

Although the revolution had repeated itself, the spirit was immortal. This had become the source of the Frenchman's pride!

This was a war song that terrified all the feudal aristocracy and the Church. The moment the Marseille was about to sing, it proved that France's nationalism was close to its peak.

It was fortunate that they did not choose to suppress or arrest him. Because in just one night, they realized that this song had actually begun to spread throughout the entire city.

Millions of people were singing the war song of the revolution, as well as social events such as the big streets and alleyways as well as the cafes and restaurants. There were songs everywhere!

Capture who? How? Who would dare to capture him!

All the police stations in Paris urgently issued an order, strictly demanding that all police officers absolutely must not resist this wave. At this time, no matter what forbidden song it was, they would first have to ensure that no conflicts occurred!

The police retreated, the army retreated, and even the police and soldiers themselves began to sing the war song!

France's war chariot had already been completely destroyed by nationalism, there was not a single trace of rationality left anymore!

"War!" War! The motherland attacks! "

"Victory!" We need victory! Let the whole of Europe tremble under our cavalry! "

"Our shells cut across the horizon, our soldiers swept across the horizon, our swords will be thrust back into the land of Berlin!"

"Break the Brandenburg Gate!" Snatch the Goddess of Victory! Let her become the Louvre's spoils of war! "

The crowd had gone completely mad. People were cheering, drinking, singing and dancing in the streets! There were even extremely excited women who took off their top clothes, revealing their bare upper bodies, and flew into the air as countless men threw them.

"How is this a war? This is simply a carnival! "

The American minister looked at the naked dancer who was singing and dancing drunkenly on the table and shook his head helplessly. He turned around and said to the military officer.

"Inform all the Americans in Paris, especially our foreign students, not to go out on the streets during this period, and not to get involved in the nonsense of the French!"

"Get them to keep an eye on the embassy's report. If anything happens, get them to evacuate immediately …" Those who are unable to escape, must gather at the embassy! "

The Martial Officer was shocked, "Sir …" Do you have any new information? "

The Minister shook his head: "Our America's presence in Europe is too low. What kind of information do we have … I am only making some judgments based on common sense! "

"Do you know the Chinese have an interesting saying? It's called 'A dog that bites doesn't bark!' "Now that I think about it, it makes a lot of sense …"

"France is barking like a mad dog from top to bottom. Look at those people in the north. They haven't even said a single word. Their citizens are just waiting silently!"

"What are they waiting for? Just thinking about it makes people shudder! "

The Minister could only say this much. He could not tell the Military Officer that he had received a personal letter from the United States, right?

The envoy had a good personal relationship with the Carnegie family, and there was a domestic fear that his friend had sent him a private letter after the demonstrations of 200,000 people in France.

In this letter, his old friend hinted at him to be careful of this war and not be too optimistic!

At this moment, over a quarter of the Carnegie clan's business was in Asia. They had close ties with the Chinese business community. Could it be that the Carnegie clan had obtained some information in secret?

Woshan didn't dare to think too much into it, didn't dare to question further, and didn't dare to divulge this information either. He could only use his own method to begin reminding the Americans in the Law.

In this era, the United States was not a mainstream country in the world. Their economy, culture, and technological prowess were far weaker than the continental Europe's.

In private reminders from the Legation, these American students were able to return to their home countries temporarily, and those who were unqualified began renting houses in the French countryside.

As for those who were even closer to being unable to leave Paris, they began to gather at the embassy, rent a house in the vicinity and start purchasing large quantities of food.

All this was going on in silence. The fanatical Frenchmen did not notice these changes at all, they did not even notice that the faces of the English guests had become less and less during this period of time at all the nobles banquets.

Under the influence of their manic emotions, none of them realized that many countries had already begun to secretly evacuate the country, especially those aristocratic people with privileges.

As the minutes ticked by, France remained tough, and Prussia did not give up diplomatic efforts.

Britain, the Austria, the Netherlands, the Belgium, Sweden, the Portugal … Almost all countries sent special commissioners to mediate the conflict.

One of them, Gladstone, had even asked the Commissioner to send a handwritten letter to French Emperor, in which he bluntly proposed, "Your Majesty, I think you both should step back and allow the situation to ease up …"

"Prussia should respect France's demands, but France should also give time for negotiations. Your ultimatum should be withdrawn …"

These words were very clear. All the countries in Europe said, "French Emperor, you have to revoke the ultimatum first. Don't force Prussia to declare his position on the National Day of France. You have to give some face to Prussia!"

'Not to mention, negotiations between countries are not something that can be concluded in a couple of months. You pushing it so hard is against the customs of diplomacy! '

'As long as you can take a step back, everything can be negotiated! '

But could the French Emperor retreat? Listening to the entire city's Marseille, did he dare to retreat?
